Snape Dragons and Dance Lessons

With a near inaudible crack Allegra popped into existence in an abandoned corridor. Pulling the rolling suitcase behind her she walked down the hallway taking a couple of turns before she found herself deposited into a sea of people. Pushing her way through the rushing throngs of people she made her way to the closest Starubucks.

“What can I get you?” the clerk asked and Allegra was instantly happy that she had used a translation charm before she had left Hogwarts, she didn’t know how to speak the dominate language of the Netherlands, and she probably never would be able to, but with a simple translation charm not only could she understand every word said, she could also fluently reply.

“I’ll take a grande latte, double espresso, Italian blend, light on the froth, heavy on the cinnamon, with a shot of raspberry.” The clerk stared blankly at her for a moment before he got to work. The man handed her the latte and she slapped twenty euros into his hand. “Keep the change.” She said over her shoulder as she turned and started to once again fight her way through the crowd while sipping her heavenly latte. Finally she made her way through the pushing crowd and onto the outside waiting area, looking for the nicest vehicle around. She wasn’t too surprised when she spotted a large stretch Hummer limo with a driver standing outside of it holding a sign with her name on it.

“Take me directly to the rehearsal, I don’t need to stop by the hotel, you can also cancel my room and the hotel, I will probably not be staying there tonight.” She said as she handed her single bag of luggage to the driver and walked back to the back door, which he quickly opened.

“Yes, anything else ma’am?” he asked and when she shook her head he gently closed the door. She heard the trunk open and close and then the driver’s door open and then they were on their way, now fighting the battle of Netherlands traffic.



“Allegra!” the feminine voice called seconds before long arms wrapped around her neck, pulling her into a tight hug.

“Hi, Fergi.” Allegra said hugging the girl back. Ever since the two had met a couple of years ago they had always gotten along well, and Fergi had always demanded that Allegra be the only choreographer to choreograph for their tours, not that the rest of the group complained.

“Well if it isn’t the little girl!” Apl.de.ap said as he walked by and ruffled Allegra’s hair and she broke from Fergi’s grasp to fix her short locks.

“Hey Apple.” She used the nickname she had given him, since saying his other name was much too difficult.

“About time you got here!” Taboo said as he walked by, yet again messing up her hair and Allegra glowered at the two men as she once gain fixed her hair.

“Hi Taboo.” She said through gritted teeth as she felt someone come up behind her. “I swear to god Will, if you touch my hair, you’ll die.” Will groaned and settled for wrapping one of his arms around Allegra’s shoulders.

“Thanks for coming Allegra.” Will said looking down at her and Allegra rolled her eyes at him. A few months ago Allegra had made the drunken mistake of sleeping with Will, and ever since then things had been slightly awkward between them. Will wanted more, Allegra wanted to flee, but hey what’s a girl to do. Smiling she pulled out from under his arm and scooted to stand closer to Fergi, the only one who knew what had happened between Will and Allegra.

“So should we get to rehearsal?” Allegra forced herself to sound giddy and they all proceeded onto stage. “Let my personal hell begin.” Allegra muttered to herself as the first song started.



Allegra twitched slightly, her face scrunching as her body jumped slightly. Groaning she slowly cracked open one eye, looking out at the darkness around her. She moaned and rolled onto her back to look up at the ceiling, here she was waking up in a bed that wasn’t hers, again. She slid her arm under the covers, searching for the body heat that should be accompanying hers, but only felt the cold satin of the sheets. Blinking slowly she sat up and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, had she really managed to end up not going home with a guy after the concert? She couldn’t remember, her memory was blank from the time she went on stage to this moment.

Pushing the covers back on the bed she looked down at herself, she wasn’t wearing the small costume that had been required for the concert last night, she was, in fact, wearing one of her very own night gowns. She knew it was hers because of the small emblem that rested over the left breast, the black and red of her family crest standing out on the green silk. Thoroughly confused she stood, her feet landing on the cold stone floor and goose bumps exploded all over her skin, she quickly wrapped her arms around her waist and hunched over.

She quickly scurried over to one of the doors in the room, the only other one leading to a bathroom. She shivered again as her hand landed on the frozen metal of the door knob and she pulled the door open, shielding her eyes as light exploded on her unadjusted eyes.

“I see you’re finally awake Professor Sabria.” The cold voice greeted her and Allegra slowly lowered her arm to look out into the room. Candles were lit all over, and a large fire was blazing in the hearth, and enjoying the warmth of it was Severus Snape.

“Okay, yeah I think I’m still drunk.” Allegra muttered to herself as she stumbled over and plopped herself down in Severus’ lap. His body tensed beneath hers and she tilted her head back to look at him, the room spinning slightly. “Yep, still drunk.” She giggled slightly and leaned back against him, pulling her legs up to curl up on his lap.

“Professor Sabria what do you think you’re doing?” Severus said through gritted teeth as he held his body as still as possible.

“Well, I figure I’m still having a really good drunken dream.” She smiled loopily at him and he continued to glower down at her. “Although it would definitely be better if you weren’t,” she turned slightly and grabbed the first button of his vest. “wearing this.” She popped the first button off and his hand shot up to grab hers.

“What do you think you’re doing?” He growled softly and Allegra smirked as she kept turning so she was straddling him, the small night gown sliding up to reveal her cream white thighs.

“Hmmm weird dream, usually you know how bad I’ve been wanting you.” She smirked up at him as she tilted her head to the side slightly and giggled her breath reeking of alcohol.

“Professor, please, regain control of yourself.” Severus said harshly as he used his free hand to push her away when she leaned closer to him. Allegra giggled again and this time she lunged too quickly for Severus to react, her lips crushed against his. As soon as it had started it was over, Allegra’s head fell to Severus’ shoulder, a loud snore breaking through her lips. Severus sat still in his chair, his face betraying the internal war he was waging, something that was indeed rare for the Occulmency master. Finally he stood, scooping Allegra into his arms and once again made his way to his bedroom, sliding her back under the covers, and throwing a small fire into the bedroom hearth before he left.
