Remus Lupin was a wonderful dancer. Severus watched him guide whatever-her-name-was, the Hufflepuff from their Form who always chewed gum with her mouth open, across the Great Hall’s dance floor, Gene Kelly partnered with an ox in a cloud of pink dress. Nobody should be so handsome, he thought, or so graceful. Dancing skill was something adults had, not boys who weren’t yet 15.

The Hufflepuff laughed. So did Remus. The happy sound drove Severus from the dance and back to the solitary world of Slytherin House, his world.

That night in his dreams, Severus laughed and waltzed with Remus.

“My snoring woke you?”

 Severus turned on his side, facing Remus. A smile hooked the corner of his mouth. “It woke the dead.”

 Remus’ laughter lit the room. Severus stayed silent, content to watch the world’s most precious wizard enjoy himself.

 When Remus stopped laughing and caught his breath, he grinned. “Your wit is one of your most attractive traits, you know.”

 “Is it now?” Severus felt Remus’ hand on his hip. His smile warmed. “Should we tell them ghosts can touch each other?”

 Remus shook his head. “They’ll find out when the time comes.”

 “Just like we did?”

 “Yes.”
