S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y
Date: 6 September 1997
Characters: Melinda Bobbin, Cho Chang, Janelle Dorny, Roger Davies, Adrian Pucey
Location: Melinda's cottage in Hogsmeade - #9 Mayfair
Status: Public!
Summary: Melinda's party to cheer people up!
Completion: Complete

Looking around her front room, Melinda hoped it would be big enough to fit people. She'd heard from a few people who were interested in coming, and that meant there were probably more who hadn't said anything who were planning on it, just for the free beer.

There were snacks on the table by the window, another table of drinks (which she really hoped would be replenished as people began showing up or it would be a truly pathetic party), and seating around the edge.

The wireless was on its stand, tuned to the WWN, which had promised an evening of dance music. Hopefully they meant popular and not Celestina Warbeck (Merlin hex her if it was a Warbeck night).

All in all, things looked perfect. Now, people just had to show up.

Adrian's grin grew, became wolfish again at the look in her eyes. It mirrored the way she'd looked at him the week before, and he liked that. Because there was just something about her that was so...sexy. That was the only word for it.

"Because I can't fathom why you seem to prefer the company of a man nearly twenty years your senior to mine. And I see that as a challenge," he admitted with a chuckle. "'m a bit of a challenge junkie. Besides," he added, "we're more alike than you think."

The music wasn't half bad, and he tilted his head, giving her a questioning look. "D'you like dancing?"

	"I hardly think you want me to tell you," she said, her smile genuine despite the words, still, she ran her hand through her hair, feeling oddly drawn to him again, which made no kind of sense, but then what had lately. Still, she half laughed with him as he said she was a challenge. "I do like to dance," she said after a moment. "Are you offering?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Absolutely."

He reached for her hand, tugging her to the area that seemed to have been designated as a dance floor, though he stuck to the edges, preferring not to be in the crush of people. The song had been an upbeat dance tune, but as they were walking it changed to something slower, more sensual, with a steady, thrumming beat.

"Can you dance, Spinnet?" he asked teasingly.

"Guess you'll have to find out." She put her glass down after draining it, expecting to be dancing the fast song, but then suddenly it changed to something far moodier and sexier and she faltered before putting her arms around his neck, eyes on him and feeling completely bare and confused.

What the hell was this? She had just gone out last night with another man, hell, she'd fucked another man until she could barely walk, and yet Pucey's touch was enough to just about drive her mad. Because for some reason, his hands on her waist made her want to lean into him, to just let out the breath she felt she'd been holding and close her eyes and fucking dance, just like that night he'd stayed and she'd slept better than she had in months.

And so she did, after a moment's hesitation, her body pressing against his as they moved to the rhythm of the music.

"We weren't supposed to speak of it," was all she said finally.
