It Takes Two

~

The students stared at Snape mistrustfully. He simply smirked back.

“What, is there no one brave enough to step forward to help with this demonstration?” he asked silkily.

“Not likely,” a Gryffindor boy muttered.

Snape sneered. “Come now. This is supposed to be a dance lesson.”

Suddenly, someone stirred from the corner, stepping out into the centre of the dance floor.

Snape raised an eyebrow. “I should have known,” he murmured as Harry looked up at him. Amid whispers, Snape grasped Harry’s waist and, flicking his wand, turned on the music box in the corner. The sultry notes of a tango filled the room.

Snape led Harry wordlessly, and, after only a momentary hesitation, they fell into a smooth rhythm, looking elegant as they sailed across the floor with Snape’s robes floating about their ankles. Without warning, Snape dipped Harry, almost bending his back in half. Their noses ended up less than a hairsbreadth apart in a long, erotically charged moment.

Harry closed his eyes, and it wasn't until someone cleared their throat that Snape seemed to recall that they had an audience. He brought Harry upright smoothly, and after releasing him, turned to the class.

“As you can see, it’s not that difficult. Now, choose your partners.”

As the students got organized, Harry brushed past Snape. “Thank you for the dance, Professor,” he whispered softly.

Snape smiled. “Don’t thank me yet, Professor. I intend to finish it at home later.”

As Harry walked out of the classroom, a Ravenclaw girl sighed. “I see now why they say it takes two to tango.”

“I see now why they say it takes two to tango.”

It would be no fun if we had to do it on our own! Plain lonely!
Though, I think that Tango is not what Snape has in mind to finish with Harry when he gets home! *grin*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

He could argue it's a form of tango.... *g*
Thanks, my dear!

[japonicastar.insanejournal.com]

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

[majmunka.insanejournal.com]

*sigh* I love your little things, Ali :)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! :) They're fun cuz I can post them quickly and it's sort of immediate gratification, you know? *g*

Thanks, hon!

[lalaith_niniel.insanejournal.com]

I love dancing!Snape, 'cause you know that he'd be so intense on the dance floor, especially with Harry as his partner.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, oh yes, he would be an incredible dance (or other) partner, I agree!
Thanks, my dear. :)

[calico_jynx.insanejournal.com]

*swoons* lovely and smexy :* great job, sweetie :)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Eeee! Thank you for inspiring me, lovey! *cuddles*

[angela_snape.insanejournal.com]

He can teach me to tango any day!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, indeed! *swoons*
Thanks, sweetie! :)

[rakina.insanejournal.com]

Lovely imagery. But you know, all through, I pictured Harry as a student. Yes, I know... *rolls eyes*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yay! That's what I was going for, so I'm glad it worked. Heh. ;)
Thanks, Raki!

[hambares.insanejournal.com]

I bet they tango beautifully!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah. All that passion translates to some sizzling scenes on the dance floor. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[arielhime.insanejournal.com]

*swoons* add to the fact that I absolutely *LOVE* tango.... *melts to a puddle on the floor* Sexy.... love Severus... Harry... tango... wow....

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*giggles*
Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction when I got the prompt. ;)
Thanks, my dear!

[winter_june.insanejournal.com]

Potions Master, DADA expert, dashing duellist, stealthy spy...and tango dancer! Really a man of many talents, and those are only the public ones *grins*
Professor Potter surely haven't time to be bored!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Heh. Oh, I bet you're right. Severus prolly keeps Harry pretty busy at home as well as at work. ;)
And yes, Severus is quite accomplished, isn't he? No wonder we're all so fascinated by him. *sigh*
Thanks so much! :)

[themadscriptor.insanejournal.com]

*gulp* You can just -feel- the sexual tension...

Thanks for the lovely ficlet!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, with these two that tension is ALWAYS there, I think, but the tango definiftely brings it out, I agree. *g*
I'm glad you enjoyed it, my dear! Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

[witchdragon.insanejournal.com]

So yummy!!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee, they really are. *nods*
Thanks, sweetie!

[ivylady.insanejournal.com]

That sounds like one steamy tango! And yes dear, I'm sure with all the sexual tension between those two that the Ravenclaw girl figured out the saying very well. *grins*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL, well those Ravenclaws are pretty smart... *g*
And I think anything these two do together turns out steamy. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[akuma_river.insanejournal.com]

Squee!

I don't think the Tango is what Snape has in mind. I the dance is more along the idea of the horizontal mambo.

Now this made me ansty for Dancing with the Stars Alan Rickman edition.

*drools*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Is he gonna be on there? *flails* OMG, how hot would that be? Eeeee!
*uses dancing!Rickman icon*

[akuma_river.insanejournal.com]

I don't think so.

But can you imagaine how hot that would be?

I wonder if we can beg him to do it?

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*starts writing campaign*
LOL.

[snarry_fan7.insanejournal.com]

Wonderful! I love the lovely image I have now of them dancing.~Sophia

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, I know what you mean. :)
Thanks, Sophia!

[svartalfur.insanejournal.com]

Tango is such an erotic dance, and Snape seems to be made for it.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

He does, doesn't he? *sigh*
That man is so hot it should be illegal. *swoons*
Thanks, hon!

*rewards us both with sexy!Rickman icon*

[whatthefuckbenj.insanejournal.com]

*sigh* What I would give to witness that!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, yes, I hear you. There would be quite a line of people for that show, I suspect. *g*
Thanks, my dear!

[mac_tunes.insanejournal.com]

Wonderful tango.... if only they had completely forgotten they had an audience, where would they really end up? Thanks!

Can someone just throw a knife at that person who cleared their throat??? *frowns*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha. The poor student just got nervous I bet. ;)
And their performance suggests that they've been practicing. *g*
Thanks, hon!

:D

[chiakidark.insanejournal.com]

*Squees hit supersonic frequencies*

I LOVE it!! I'm sorry for my late reply-I've been preparing for a trip and just remembered that I have an online life too. *Grins*

This was beautiful! I could just picture our Severus... I'm a serious fan of "Dancing with the Stars" on TV, and being a true Snarry girl at heart, kept imagining Severus out on that dance floor; intense, dark eyes, long lean limbs, grace, and all. *Mumbles in complete bliss* Now my fantasy has new life thanks to you!

Again, thank you so much!!! This was a wonderful BD ficlet!!

*Smooches*

Re: :D

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yay! *heaves huge sigh iof relief*
I am so glad you enjoyed it, hon! *hugs*
It was a very sexy prompt and I was hoping I did it justice. *g*
And yes, the image of these two doing a sizzlingly hot tango pretty much stuck with me, so I knew I had to incorporate that somehow. :)
I hope you had an amazing birthday, sweetie! *muah*
