Chapter 28

Severus had no idea what Kathy would be wearing to the ball, but one thing was certain, they could not risk her accidentally touching one of the students if her arms were bare. A simple pair of gloves would not suffice. �Didn�t bloody think of that did you Albus?� He thought smugly.
�Kathy.� He called, poking his head into her living room on Thursday evening.
�Severus, I�m just making a cuppa, do you want one?�
�No, thank you. I have a request to make of you.�
Kathy appeared through the kitchen doorway.
�I need to see what you will be wearing for the ball.�
�What? Not a chance, Molly said I have to keep it hidden until the big night.�
He pinched the bridge of his nose. �There is no considerate way of putting this, I need to know if any part of your.. anatomy will be bared.�

When her cheeks went pink he explained further. �Your arms for example, if they are not covered, you will need longer gloves, the hall will be rather crowded, you may be jostled, others will come into contact with you at some point during the evening.�
A look of understanding crossed her face. �Wait there, Molly already thought of that and I told her about the gloves you made for me so she had the dressmaker add something to my wardrobe.� She disappeared into the bedroom, emerging a minute later with a small package and passing it to him.
When he started to open it she stopped him. �No. Don�t open it here, now. Its kind of� personal. I was going to ask if you could spell it like you did the gloves. Please don�t open it here.� She knew her face had bypassed the usual shades of pink and red.
Severus noted the magenta hues of her face and neck and told her he would take it to his labs and work on it tonight.
Once he�d gone she let out a sigh of relief.
Severus smirked as he made his way to the laboratory. Only when he removed the paper and lifted out the garment did his smirk drop and a flush invade his own cheeks. �Oh Merlin.� He gasped.

He was holding a sheer, silk, full length body stocking. The fabric was soft and stretchy and it flowed through his fingers sensuously. It would cover her torso up to the neck, her shoulders, arms and legs down to the wrists and ankles, and was� He gulped. There was nothing where her more� personal attributes would be. It was like something from one of the men�s magazines he�d taken from students over the years. Of course he�d looked through them in detail, but this was so much more than the outfits offered for sale in the back pages. This was� Oh Gods.� The fact he knew who would be wearing it only served to heat his blood even more and he had to adjust himself as the bulge in his trousers became uncomfortable. How was he meant to act normally with her at the ball when he knew she was wearing this under her robes? He would not survive the night.
Kathy found the re-wrapped bodysuit waiting for her on the sofa the following morning. She blushed again at the thought that Severus had seen and handled it, she could hardly believe she would be wearing something so� well, whatever it was, it was like nothing she�d ever seen before. She took it back to the bedroom and tried it on. She felt very naughty wearing it, especially when it shimmered and disappeared as she looked in the mirror. �Heaven help me I�m a hussy.� She felt guilty and womanly at the same time, and with the gown that Molly and Madam Malkin had designed for her, maybe she should have been more insistent about the style. But it was too late now, the gown hung in her wardrobe ready to wear, along with French knickers in the softest silk, matching brassier, new shoes, proper nylons, and a cloak. Molly said she would arrive early and help her with her hair.

Before Elizabeth was born, David and she used to go to the local Working Men�s club once a month for a few beers and a dance, but a ball was nothing like the Working Men�s from what Molly had told her, and if that didn�t make her feel uncomfortable enough, Albus statement about her �coming out� made her even more nervous and she�d not had the chance to ask him about it.
When Severus and Albus arrived later that evening to take her to the Order meeting, Kathy�s kitchen table and all the worktops were covered in an array of foods.

�How are we going to carry it all?� She asked. �I didn�t really think about it when I made it.�
Albus transfigured a cake tin into a large, but manageable box, while Severus began reducing everything she�d made.
Kathy stared amazed as plates piled high with sandwiches shrunk to the size of an eggcup, two of her cakes could have fit in a thimble, and everything was placed carefully into the box. Another spell from Albus to ensure nothing moved about inside the box and it was reduced even further before being placed in Severus� pocket.

�I can�t believe you just did that. It was amazing. How are we travelling?�
The two wizards looked at her, both wearing snide smirks and Kathy felt decidedly uncomfortable.

�We�re not going in the fire are we? I�ve seen you do that but I don�t know if I fancy it.�
�Actually we considered brooms.� Severus said.
�You�ve got to be kidding me. You want me to� no bloody chance.�
�We shall be apparating my dear. You have done that before so it should not be a problem for you.�
�I have, when?�

�When I first brought you to Hogwarts.�

�But I thought that was the Time Turner thingy.�
�No, the Time Turner does not move you from one place to another. It was apparition that brought us here.�
Kathy put her cloak on and followed them up the never ending staircase and into the Main Hall.

The night was cold and snow still covered the grounds as they crunched their way to the large gates set between two high pillars topped with winged boars. Once through they would be beyond the apparition boundaries of the castle grounds.
�Couldn�t we have just done this from the dungeons? It�s freezing out here.�
�No one can apparate or dissapparate within Hogwarts.� Severus told her.
�I did, when I brought the elf to your classroom remember.�
�Special circumstances.� He remarked.
Once they were through the gates and they were locked and warded, Severus wrapped his arms around her, taking her by surprise.

Before she had a chance to protest she was being drawn through a tight, narrow tube, at least that�s what it felt like, and all the air was being expelled from her lungs. Suddenly the tightness lifted and she was able to draw breath, though she felt a bit nauseous.
�I didn�t like that at all. I don�t remember that happening when you brought me here, and it didn�t feel like that with the elf either. You can let go of me now Severus.�
He released her. �When you first arrived you were hardly conscious, let alone in a fit state to notice what was happening. As for the elf thing, I have never experience elf apparition so I cannot comment on it.�
Kathy took in her surroundings. They stood at the end of a long street, bigger than the one she�d lived in, but not as shabby. The houses were a lot bigger too. And she tried to peer in the windows of the occupied houses. She walked with the two wizards until they came to a stop about one third of the way down.

�Which one is it, eleven or thirteen?�
Albus passed her a scrap of parchment. �Read it to yourself, memorise it, and never repeat it to another living soul.� He told her.
Kathy thought it was all a bit cloak and dagger, but she did as he requested and passed it back to him.
�May the saints preserve us.� She murmured as the two houses were pushed to the sides, another squeezing it�s way into view between them. �If I didn�t see it with my own two eyes I would never have believed it.�
Severus led her up the steps and rattled a large knocker three times.
Kathy was relieved when Molly was the one to open the door.

The older witch quickly pulled her in and greeted her, asking her to keep quiet until they were in the kitchen.
Kathy didn�t argue, the long narrow passage was dimly lit and it gave her the heeby jeebies.
Their cloaks were left hanging in the hallway and she was sickened to see heads mounted on the wall near the staircase.

�Ugh that�s terrible. Are the elf heads?�
�Yes dear. Not pleasant is it.� Molly replied, urging her forward to the kitchen.
After the dimness and quiet of the hallway, Kathy was momentarily blinded by the brightness of the large kitchen. The noise level too was considerably higher and she took a moment to take everything in.

She looked around the room as several �Hi�s!� and �Hello�s.� were directed her way, and she responded in kind. She took in the long table, most of the seats taken as people drank tea or coffee, impatient looks on their faces.
