Dinner as a high class restaurant in Wiltshire. Similar to the last one, but not strictly Italian, this restaurant carried a wider variety, but specialized in seafood. Luicus thought that since she enjoyed the lobster so much, this might be a good choice.

They were seated at a table on the main floor but close to one of several fish tanks the restaurant used to create the ambiance in the atmosphere. It gave them a measure of seclusion without being closed off. He enjoyed the privacy a curtained table offered but knowing Ginny didn’t want to feel shut away, he had made other arrangements.

Again Ginny felt elation at having her chair held out for her. Only a find upstanding British gentleman knew such manners, and Lucius was embodying them all tonight. He truly was making up for the previous disaster.

Ginny and Hermione couldn’t help but smile as four menus were presented to them. “Would you like something from the bar?” The waiter asked. “I’ll have a vintage red,” Lucius told him then looked at Ginny, “and a chablis?” She nodded and smiled at him.

“I’ll have a merlot,” Severus told him, “Hermione?” He said looking at her.

“Do you have a rose wine?” She asked. The waiter nodded and left them to select from the menus.

Hermione and Ginny looked at the menus and then at each other. “Is something wrong ladies?” Lucius asked.

“Lucius, there are no prices on this menu.” Ginny told him.

“That’s the way they do it here.” She looked a little unsure. “Order whatever you like.” At her look he smiled. “Anything you want, you can have.”

She looked down and Severus and Lucius exchanged a smile as the girls concentrated on the choices.

The waiter returned with their wine and took orders. Lucius had the salmon and soup. Severus selected the grilled chicken and Caesar salad. Hermione chose Greek salad and vegetable stew, Ginny selected the hard-shell crab and soup.

Again the conversation was dominated by the ballet. Ginny had taken a liking to the dance and loved the two she had been to. Because there was less tension during this date, their meals were picked at and not completely consumed. While the food was delicious, they were far too occupied this time to eat much.

Ginny was on a high. Things were going perfectly, and this was the kind of caliber of date she wanted. Her normal dates consisted of picnics and walks and dinners, which with the right man she loved. But it wasn’t that often that a girl had the chance to experience this kind of finery and high class.

She caught Lucius looking at her and she smiled. It was a brilliant smile and he felt it to his very soul.

“Lucius.” They looked up to see a young man. Dark blond hair, devoid of any product but fell in prefect order on its own accord. He had green eyes and strong masculine features. He was dressed in robes equal to Lucius’s own. He was a very handsome man, but the malicious smirk on his face all but killed any attractiveness he may have had.

While Severus remained seated and glared at the man Lucius stood and offered a hand. “Nereus. A joy as always.” Even though he spoke it the rest of the table knew he didn’t mean it.

Nereus looked at Ginny pointedly, but she just kept her serene smile and she looked up at him from her seat. “And who is this young lady?”

“Nereus Sundersun, this is Ginny Weasly.” As she stood, he continued. “Ginny this is Nereus Sunderson, a business associate I was once acquainted with.” His tone that the partnership was now over was unmistakable.

“Mr. Sunderson I’m pleased to meet you.” She offered a hand. Nereus made a dramatic show of leaning down to kiss her hand.

“A pleasure indeed Miss Weasley.” He didn’t release her hand, so Ginny made a show herself of removing her fingers from his.

“Thank you Mr. Sunderson.” She sat back down again, smiling at Hermione. Hermione had seen the display and looked at Severus. Through leglimency she let him no she had no wish to meet him. He gave her a nod and reached out to held her hand.

“Severus, good to see you again.” Severus merely nodded without saying anything. The two men stared at each other. Until Severus had enough he stood and held out a hand to Hermione.

“Would you like to dance?” She took his hand and they walked to the dance floor.

“A brilliant idea, Miss Weasly I’m sure Luicus wouldn’t mind if I led you on a turn of the dance floor.” He held out a hand but Ginny merely stared at it.

“I would mind Mr. Sunderson, I’m here with Lucius tonight and I wish to dance with him so if you will excuse us.” She held out a hand to Lucius who took it and led her to the dance floor.

“The bullocks that man has.” She said when they began swaying to the music.

Lucius gave a chuckle. “Now you know why Severus didn’t say anything to him. The two have a passionate dislike for one another.”

“Dislike is one thing but he didn’t have to behave that way in front of you. Being as ass when a lady is alone is something me and Hermione have dealt with, I’ve never seen a man with the brass to do it in front of a date. To assume I would dance with him is another thing I hate. Even if I was here alone, you ask someone to dance, you don’t assume they will.”

“He has a distinct bastardish nature about him.” He pulled her closer. “You handled him well my darling.”

Ginny blushed. “Am I your darling?” She asked.

“I see you as my darling.” She rested her cheek on his shoulder and moved slowly with him.

Dancing with Lucius was true magic in it’s most natural form. They were back at that first night, dancing in the club. His body was firm and strong and Ginny couldn’t help but remember how it felt above her, thrusting his body into hers. She gave his shoulder a squeeze.

“This is divine Lucius. You’ve made this a fabulous night for me.” She whispered in his ear.

“It doesn’t have to end here.” He titled his head, kissed her cheek, and whispered, “Would you like to come to Malfoy Manor for a drink. I’d love to dance with you in my lounge.”

She thought for a moment. She had a feeling Hermione wouldn’t mind. Looking over at her friend she saw Hermione’s and Severus’s lips locked together. She had to smile to herself. She looked back to Lucius, “I’d love to.”

Lucius smiled and led her back to the table when the music ended. They were joined by Severus and Hermione a moment later. “Severus, Ginny is joining me at the manor for a drink.”

Severus put an arm around Hermione’s shoulder. “We are off to Spinner’s End for a drink ourselves.”

“Gentlemen, will you give us a moment in the ladies before we go?” Hermione said, reaching for Ginny who took the cue immediately.

“Of course, we’ll take care of the bill and fetch our cloaks. We’ll meet you at the host podium.” The girls hurried off to the ladies and headed for the mirrors. Touching up makeup as they talked.

“Severus invited me while we danced and I just couldn’t say no.” She said.

“I know what you mean, I think they may have planned it because Lucius asked me while we dance as well.”

“Could you believe that tosspot earlier?” Hermione said packing away her makeup.

“Lucius said he and Severus hate each other.” She said facing her and folding her arms.

“Severus told me on the dance floor. He flatters women and gives them every gift and courtesy known to man and when he finally sleeps with them, he moves on, practically ignoring them if they meet again. He even tells his friends what they are like. Severus thinks that’s foul treatment of ladies and he can’t stand the man.”

“I agree, no gentleman would kiss and tell.” She gathered her purse and faced Hermione again. “So I’ll see you when I see you. I honestly can’t say if I’m going home tonight.” Ginny told her.

“Ginny,” Hermione took her shoulders, “I can honestly say that I have no plans on going home tonight.” The girls burst out laughing and left the ladies lounge. They hadn’t gotten out the door two feet when Nereus Sunderson blocked their path.

“Ladies. I trust you had a pleasant evening.” He said giving them a sinister grin.

“Yes, a very pleasant one thank you.” Ginny said with a smile.

“Then might I interest any of you in a nightcap before you retire?” He offered looking back and forth from one to the other. The odiousness of the man was sickening. It seemed as if he would be satisfied with whoever took him up on his offer.

“They’ve been offered a nightcap and they’ve accepted.” He turned and faced Severus Snape. “Now move and allow them to leave.”

He moved slowly aside and the girls joined their respective men. They pushed the pompas ass out of their minds and let the men assist with their cloaks. Hermione and Ginny hugged and kissed goodbye then each couple vanished with a loud crack to their separate destinations.
