Snape Dragons and Dance Lessons

“Good evening Severus.” Allegra greeted as she stepped into Severus’ chambers later that night. Her returned greeting was simply a grunt as he buried himself in his work. Allegra rolled her eyes and went over to the potions table that was settled in the far corner of the room, instantly turning the flame on under the cauldron and pulling the ingredients from her robes. She used a wicked sharp knife to through the Ice Dragon Scales, the magiced silver being the only thing on this planet being able to cut through dragon scales. She dropped the scales into the cauldron to simmer, and so that the small amount of water in the bottom of the cauldron would absorb the icy property.

She quickly cleaned the knife and used it to chop off the end of the Lava Coalstone Worms, individually holding their bodies over the cauldron as she let their lava filled blood drip down to mix with the dragon scales. She grabbed a spoon and gave it a quick spin three times clockwise and eight counterclockwise. She leaned over the potion and inhaled deeply, taking the conflicting scents into her head. She righted herself just as an arm snaked by the side of her and tipped a couple of small leaves into the brew before slowly pulling back. Allegra turned to face Severus who was standing uncharacteristically close to her, their bodies were almost touching with the lack of distance.

“I find that some Mint and Rosen Blue Buds help whe-“ Allegra couldn’t help herself, quick as a flash she reached a hand up, tangled it in his long hair and jerked his head down to her level, pressing her lips against his in a rough kiss. She moaned deeply when she felt his arm slid around her waist, his other hand going to cup her cheek as he used his tongue to gently probe her lips apart. Allegra gasped and pressed her body against his, her arm slipping up his chest to go around his neck in an attempt to bring them closer. Oh how bad she had wanted this, how long she had dreamt of his lips against hers, and it was finally happening.

She felt one of his hands grab her hip and roughly push her into the wall, his body pressing against hers as the kiss deepened and became more ferocious, more passionate, more lust filled. Allegra hitched her right leg up until it was settled on his hip, one of his hands holding it there as he felt it greedily up and down. Gasping they finally broke away from one another, and Severus finally looked at her. His eyes widened as he took in her kiss bruised lips, disheveled hair, and her leg on his hip. In less than a second he pulled away from her and fled the room, his robes billowing so violently at his speed that they lost their bat wing effect. Allegra looked after him confused and sighed shaking her head as she quickly gathered her potion and sped back to the safety of her room.

“Professor?” Allegra blinked and looked up from the paper she had been staring at. After returning to her room she had tried to correct some of the assignments she had assigned her classes, but every time she tried to focus her mind would go back to that kiss, what had she done wrong?

“Professor!” Fingers snapped in front of her face and she glared up at Fred and George.

“Yes?” she questioned sharply, she was in no mood to deal with anyone at the moment.

“We were just wondering what you wanted us to do with these.” The twins mumbled at the same time as they took out jars of Fire Snapper, Ice Dragon Scales, and Lava Coalstone Worm.

“I trust you had no trouble getting these out of his storage?” Allegra smiled as she leaned back in her chair and looked up at the twins.

“Naw, it was-“

“Super easy, actually.”

“We just distracted him-“

“With a ruddy first year-“

“And we got them-“

“In and out in no time.” She smiled up at the boys, they truly were a wonder, there was no way her plan would work without their help.

“Thank you boys.” She giggled softly. “You should have seen his face when he realized that his ingredients were missing, he was completely livid.” The twins smirked in victory and Allegra rolled her eyes. “And a very nice job with knocking Arianna off the dock, I was wondering what you would do, very clever of you.” Fred blushed and George looked to the side.

“It was nothing, really.” Fred muttered.

“Well it was genius.” She smiled at them and then clapped her hands. “I have another favor to ask…” both of them perked up and looked at her expectantly. “I have taught you all the traditional dances for the Yule Ball, so I think it is time to have a little fun in class.” She smiled at their confusion. “I need you to get word out to everyone that they are to wear fashionable clothing tomorrow, they still need to be able to move in it, but it still has to look sharp. We clear?”

“What are you planning Professor?” George asked.

“You’ll see.” She smiled at them and then waved her hands. “Go on, get, the last thing I need is Severus finding you in front of my rooms again, and try not to get caught this time.” They both flashed her a grin.

“Night Professor.” They left with the same words and she was left once again to her own thoughts, a dangerous thing indeed.



“Good morning students!” Allegra greeted brightly the next morning. The great class of Slytherin’s and Gryffindor’s stood before her in their robes, all except for Fred and George. Allegra was clad much like the twins, in tight skinny jeans, a sparkling tank top, hot pink high tops, a skull bandanna over her hair and topped off with a pink pinstriped fedora.

“Professor why exactly did you tell us to dress like this?” Hermione questioned as she pulled at her own tank top from under her robes.

“Thank you for asking Hermione!” she smiled at the girl. “I figured that since we have learned all the required dances for the Yule Ball, it is time that you learn some more modern dancing.” She talked down the steps from her desk and wrapped her arms around the shoulders of Fred and George.

“And exactly what do you count as ‘more modern dancing’?” Hermione pressed and Allegra instantly lost all patience with the bloody annoying girl.

“Since you are so curious, a demonstration is in order.” She unwrapped her arms from the twins and waved her wands, muggle pop music flitting through the air. “As we rehearsed boys.” She smirked at the two of them and they began the routine. It was a little over three quarters of the way done when they made an Allegra grinding sandwich. Fred pressed his front against Allegra’s and George had his front pressed against her back, all of their hips moving at a furious pace. Hushed whispers filtered through the crowd as they watched the horribly risqué dance.

“Well you have your demonstration.” Allegra said once they were finished. “Now with the generous help of Fred and George here, we will teach you all, the current dance style of Grinding.” She smirked at the few gasps from the muggle students and the confused whispers of the purebloods.

“Professor, how exactly will this help us at the ball?” Pansy, the horribly pug faced Slytherin girl questioned sharply.

“Do honestly expect to waltz around that hall the entire night? Or do you want to learn fun ways to dance? Ways that excite the body, rouse emotions, and bewitch the mind.” She swept a smoldering gaze over the entire room. “Get to work then.” She smirked at them and flicked her wand towards the front of the room, the music changed and a video of hip hop dancing instantly appeared on the far stone wall.

“Let’s get started now, shall we?” Allegra grinned at the class.
