Chapter 33
“Oh blimey, they’re back again.” Kathy indicated the stage where the band was reassembling.
She was surprised however when they began with what she considered normal music. “Well that’s better than before, is this wizard music?”
Severus smiled. “No, I belive this is a muggle song from the seventies.”
“Oh! I’ve missed quite a lot haven’t I?”
“Unfortunately yes, but you have a lifetime ahead of you Kathy.” He hoped. As soon as Malfoy told him that the full board of governors were invited tonight, he knew that Albus had set them up, at least he’d set Kathy up. The old wizard now wanted her in the public eye, and he wanted Voldemort’s interest in her piqued, as it surely would be when it was discovered that she’d accompanied Severus.
Lost in his musings, a movement caught his eye and he was surprised to see Kathy waving her arms about oddly to the music now playing. “What are you doing?”
“Hand jiving, try it.”
“I will not, it looks utterly ridiculous.”
“It does not.” She told him, clapping her hands and waving them over each other.
“Yes it does.” He scowled when Tonks threw herself into the seat beside her and asked the same question. Within a few minutes they were joined by Molly, Minerva and several other witches and all were doing the hand jive.

“Peggy Sue.” Kathy suddenly exclaimed when the band started up a new song.
Severus glared at Charlie Weasley when he dashed across the floor.
“Still up for a jive Kathy?” He asked.
She looked at Severus and he gave her a begrudging nod, then he watched as she stood and pulled on the back of her skirt.
He was horrified when she yanked it away and a shorter skirt that reached just below her knees, was revealed beneath it the same dark green velvet, lots of stiff, net petticoats beneath.
“Molly’s idea. Great isn’t it.” She left him gawping as she moved onto the floor with Charlie.
“Neat trick with the dress, does it get any shorter?” Charlie asked, a broad grin on his face.
“No it doesn’t. Now dance.” She told him with a wink.
Severus watched, green with envy as Charlie spun her away from him and pulled her back, lifted her, swung her to the side and over his back to swing her back at his other side, then threw her under his legs and spun to catch her and start all over again. Her skirt swung out, revealing shapely legs, thick thighs and dark green underwear that matched her dress. Had it not been for the fact that others were dancing similarly he would have pounced on her and dragged her from the hall.
After the fourth dance Charlie admitted he was pooped. “Sorry Kathy, haven’t got the stamina.” He puffed.
“Weakling.” She muttered as ‘Whole Lota Shakin’ came on. “Not even this one?”
“Gods woman, I’m knackered.”
“May I?” A voice interrupted.
She had no idea who this newcomer was, but Kathy was enjoying the herself and was not ready to stop yet. Giving Charlie a smile and waggling her fingers at him, she turned to her new partner.
Charlie made his way over to Severus. “You know who that is don’t you.”
“Of course I do. Why did you let her remain on the floor?”
“I couldn’t exactly stop her. Hell Severus she can move.”
“I noticed.”
They watched Kathy closely as she danced with Draco Malfoy, both shaking their hands wildly to the music as they bopped.
“Woo you‘re good, who taught you kid?” Kathy asked, laughing as the song ended.
“My Aunt. It was a pleasure dancing with you Mrs Ripley.”
“How do you know my name?” She asked as he escorted her back to her table and two irate looking wizards.
“My father told me. Professor.” He acknowledged, before walking away, completely ignoring Charlie.
“Runt.” Charlie muttered.
“Who was that? What’s up with you two?” She asked, flopping into her chair.
“That, in case you didn’t recognise the drawl, was Draco Malfoy, son and heir of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.” Severus told her.
“Blimey, he’s not like them is he, rather he doesn’t have his nose up his… he isn’t so stuck up as them.”
“Kathy, Draco is just as dangerous as his parents. Tell her Professor.” Charlie said.
She turned to Severus who nodded.
“But he’s a kid.”
“A child yes, but still very dangerous.”
She looked round the hall and spotted the boy leaning over and speaking with the tall blonde man who she instantly recognised. “What’s going on Severus? Something’s not right, I know it.” She had a bad feeling about all of this and she was not the only one.
Severus too was discretely washing his gaze over the throng of guests. “I suggest you speak to Albus at some point, he is the one who arranged all of this. I was not even aware the Malfoy’s would be present this evening.”
He turned to Charlie and spoke quietly. “Charlie, perhaps you could alert the others of certain… other attendee‘s, I doubt anything will occur here in the presence of so many of our own members, but I do not like what I am seeing.”
Charlie nodded and walked off, he too had noticed several vaguely familiar faces that thought to disguise themselves under masks.
“Kathy, I would ask that you do not question me, merely do what I tell you. Remove your gloves.” He ordered, his lips barely moving.
Kathy was getting scared and did what he told her without question.
“He stood and held out her cloak. Stand and retrieve your skirt, act casual and I will escort you across the hall, whatever I do, follow my lead. If we are followed and I release you, you are to continue to the dungeons without me, do not hesitate, go to your rooms and stay there.”
“Severus what’s happening? I don’t like this.”
“Just do as I say Kathy, please.”
She picked up her outer skirt and waited for Severus to drape the cloak over her shoulders and fasten it, then took his arm for him to lead her from the hall.
Charlie had done his job and several Order members danced their way around the couple, shielding them from view as they headed for the doors.
Albus made his way to Malfoy’s table, obstructing his view and chatting to the irate wizard about his plans for possibly starting a new dance class for the students.
Malfoy nodded irritably as he tried to see round the old wizard and discover where Severus and the woman had disappeared to. “Yes Headmaster, very interesting. You do that. I am afraid Narcissa and I must be leaving, we have a prior engagement unfortunately.” The blonde man said through clenched teeth. Narcissa gave Albus an icy stare as she joined her husband.
Albus hoped Severus had managed to get Kathy away in time. He’d wanted her to be noticed tonight, but he had not expected anything to happen as yet.
Once through the doors, Severus grabbed her wrist and increased his stride, determined to take Kathy to safety before anything untoward could happen.
When she couldn’t keep up he swung her over his shoulder and sprinted across the main entrance hall.
“I a bit of a hurry aren’t we Snape?”
Severus halted at the sound of the familiar voice. “Dolahov, I was unaware you were on this evenings guest list.” He lowered Kathy to her feet but did not release his grip on her.
Kathy peered at Dolahov from under her lashes and started to tremble. It wasn’t so much the name, as the gravelly voice that alerted her to what exactly this man was.
“That’s because I wasn’t invited. Still, with so many already in attendance, who’s gonna notice a few gatecrashers eh? Not gonna tell on me are you Snape?”
“Not at all, but excuse me, my companion and I have… other pursuits in mind.”
Again Severus moved to walk away, and again Dolahov spoke. “So I see, pretty little thing too. Does he know about her?”
“Shut up you fool, there is nothing to tell and now because of your loose tongue I will be forced to Obliviate her. Now get back to the celebrations and leave us to entertain ourselves.”
“We could always make it a threesome.” The wizard called, his voice following them down the dungeon steps.
Kathy was trembling so badly her feet didn’t want to cooperate and she stumbled several times. Only Severus’ bruising grip on her wrist prevented her from falling.
When they entered his office he let her go and placed several wards on the door before turning back to her. He took in her wild appearance, her white face, the fear in her eyes.
“Severus please, what’s happening? Why is that man here? I know him, form… he‘s one of them Severus.”
“I believe we are being observed. Albus’ attempts to have you noticed have worked a little too well. He must have made contact rather quickly for Dolahov and the others to have arrived so soon. My appearance with a female on my arm tonight has raised suspicions amongst the Dark Lords followers, Normally I would attend any function alone.”
“Others?“ She still looked at him questioningly.
“I cannot tell you what I do not know myself, hopefully when this night is over, Albus will be able to explain. Meanwhile you are to remain in your rooms. I will return to the ball alone after a suitable period of time has elapsed and if they are still here, I will inform them that you are… resting.”
It dawned on Kathy what he wanted those people to think and she turned several shades of red. “They think we’re… Severus?”
“Would you prefer they know the truth and risk being captured again?” He hissed.
“Captured? You… you mean they… like before?”
“Exactly like before, only now they are more, and stronger than ever. It is also likely the Dark Lord would want to see you this time. At least the Order has been alerted before any of them could make a move.”
Kathy was stunned. Automatically she head for the kitchen to make a cup of tea. Tonight had been wonderful, up until a few minutes ago. Now it was spoiled. “Severus, is it because I danced with that boy? Is that what made them… I dunno, suspicious?”
“No, though it did help confirm that you are not one of our regular circle.”
“I’m sorry, I’ve messed up haven’t I?”
He sighed.” It was not your fault. Albus should never have invited the governors, he must have known that Malfoy would have attended and reported back the instant he saw you with me.”
