Let's Dance Tonight (OPEN)

Guest

There was just something freeing about being surrounded by dancing bodies, random strangers pressing up against you as they lost themselves to the beat of the music. Apollonia didn't care that some random guy was probably coping a feel of her as she diluted her body in time with the blaring music. Her ears were already ringing and, while she hadn't drank any alcohol, the music alone made her feel as if she was drunk.

Excusing herself from the girl that just managed to place her hands on Apollonia's hips, the red-haired female ignored her pout and swiftly made her way through the masses of bodies towards the back of the club where the bathrooms were, flashing a grin at the twenty-something guy at the bar just a few feet away, who shook his head at her, a bemused grin on his face.

Splashing some cool water on her face, Apollonia checked her make-up and after making sure that her outfit wasn't out of place, she was once more out on the dance floor, this time actively searching for a partner to dance with.

Kiranjeet Kaur Sahu was many things, Jacques had come to learn. Boring was not one of them. Since they had started spending time together, never had they managed to keep from doing something. Going for a walk around London together, exploring all the up and coming bars that Kiranjeet's phone told her about, heading in to cafes that did the cutest of foods, hiking up the tallest mountain in the UK for fun, playing one on one Quidditch matches against one another (Kiranjeet always won). There was always something, and Jacques... well, he loved it.

Even when he was thoroughly worn out from the week's courses away with the Auror divisions, Kiranjeet would not let him rest, but it was what he liked most about the witch. There was never, ever, a dull moment when he was in Kiranjeet's presence.

Today was no different, either.

When Jacques had entered his apartment from the Auror division that evening, he'd been quite set on heading for the shower and staying there for a long time in the hopes the hot water would ease the tension in his muscles, and allow them to loosen up. What he'd found, however, was Kiranjeet, dressed up in a white dress that had Jacques' eyebrow raised slightly in question.

"We're going dancing," Kiranjeet had told him, the smile on her face growing when his head had tilted to the side in the next question. The witch's only response had been to move toward him slowly, reaching up to press the strap of his work bag from his shoulder, and instead place a kiss upon his cheek, a kiss that lingered, but was gone the moment Jacques tried to counter with his own. The peel of laughter left their lips in the same moment before she ushered him to get changed, putting all thought of a relaxing evening to the back of his mind.

Complying with Kiran's request, Jacques had washed and changed faster than he'd believed possible, pausing only to douse himself in an extra splash of cologne before returning to the lounge area to find Kiranjeet waiting as impatiently as ever. "Where are we going, doudou?" Jacques asked, wrapping his arms around the witch before moving in close to press a k-

The crack! of apparition filled the apartment, and the warmth of Jacques home was soon replaced with the cool air of the March evening. Keeping Kiranjeet upright despite his own brief moment of confusion was somewhat difficult but as they remained upright, the man simply shook his head in amusement, looking around to try to work out where they were.

"Hogsmeade!" Kiranjeet explained, freeing herself from his hold just long enough to pull him forwards towards the bar. The bouncer did a double take at the pair as they moved to the front of the queue, not even looking to stop them when he noticed Jacques' presence. Instead, he tipped his hat, and opened the door, admitting the two young adults in to the bar before returning to stopping others from getting in. Kiranjeet bypassed the bar, and pulled him straight to the dance floor, easily getting lost in the music. For a moment, Jacques simply watched her, watched how she lost herself in the music so easily, moved to the beat without a second thought, before she caught him, and pulled him closer, insisting he dance with her.

Which, of course, Jacques could never deny the witch.

Her happiness made him happy, no matter what the source of her entertainment.

She laughed melodiously as she moved from one person to another, slithering her body in between the countless females and males in the club, she felt free as she diluted her body in time to the music. This wasn't her usual setting, it wasn't a scene that she would normally be found in but the with the stress that was piling upon everyone Apollonia had needed to wind down, needed to find an outlet that wasn't skinny dipping in the freezing waters of the Black Lake.

"Woah! Watch where you're going gorgeous." A male winked at her as Apollonia slithered in between him and the wall, a grin on her lips. "Someone might take it as an invitation." Instead of answering, all Apollonia did was throw the male a cheeky kiss as she, once more, got swept in with the crowd.

She could've been there for days and Apollonia wouldn't know - that's how much fun she was having. Even though she should be getting back to the castle, back to Slytherin before curfew she didn't so much as even glance towards the door. She was breaking the rules, being out late in Hogsmeade yet the red-haired witch cared not as she danced and jumped, ever so often slipping up to the bar to grab a glass of something to drink.

It was just as she was returning from the bar, her hips swaying to the music with her eyes closed that the female stumbled, having been bumped into by a fairly drunk couple, and the sixteen-year-old pretty much went flying into the throng of people. She had been expecting impact with the floor, already bemoaning the bruises that would show up when she woke up but instead she collided with another person.

"I am so sorry!" She exclaimed in apology, quickly extracting herself from the person she had bumped into, only for her voice to get stuck in her throat when she turned and realized who exactly it was that had pretty much cushioned her fall. "...ahh..." Jacques Clement, she couldn't mistake the man for anyone else, and his date, at least that's who she assumed the female in his arms was, were right in front of her.

Bumping into the Clement heir in Hogsmeade of all places - she didn't know whether to be mortified that it had been him and his date that cushioned her fall or to be amused that the pair were in Hogsmeade, with no-one really realizing who the pair was.

They'd barely entered the establishment before heads were turning in their direction. The future Lord Clement, and the current world champion Quidditch star were bound to turn heads, and with their relationship being splashed all over the tabloids -- both magical and muggle -- it was barely a surprise. Not that Jacques noticed these things himself, he'd long since learned to block out the flash of a camera in the background.

But Kiranjeet was still learning.

The distraction for the evening was enough to get the Malaysian witch focused, though as she pulled him in to the middle of the dance floor, not even bothering to head for a drink first. The man simply followed, accustomed to the close proximity with which one found themselves in these establishments. Kiranjeet swayed easily to the music as he followed, amusement already dancing in his features-

Amusement that turned to momentary worry as someone collided in to the side of him, making him reach out to try to break the fall of whomever it was that had knocked in to him. Only to find himself catching one of Mimosa's friends in the process. The witch quickly straightened herself up, and Jacques' gentle hold on the witch was gone in moments. Apollonia -- the name supplied itself in the form of Mimosa's cheerful voice in his head -- seemed to be a little stunned.

Offering the witch a small, reassuring smile, Jacques leaned in so that he might be heard above the noise, but not so close as to be imposing.

"Apollonia, isn't it? I'm not sure you should be here..." He commented, though it was not the tone of someone who was condoning the behaviour of the witch. If she'd managed to get herself in to the bar, then kudos to her for working it out, but it would be remiss of him to simply let her go, knowing she was definitely underage.

The smile on Jacques' face and the tone of voice reassured Apollonia that she wasn't about to be reprimanded for her wandering into the bar but that didn't mean she probably wouldn't face some repercussion for being there.

Smoothing her skirt out, Apollonia gave the older male a soft smile, tilting her head slightly. "It is." She confirmed when her name passed his lips. Mimosa, no doubt, informed her family of their friendship and while she was bemused by the fact, she was also oddly happy that the Clement ward was talking about her. "...I needed to wind down," She explained, not letting the fear of having been caught at the bar by the Clement heir stop her, she had managed to get into the bar with little trouble after reassuring that she wasn't there to drink but just dance and enjoy herself and she wasn't about to cut her night short. "The common room was getting a bit stifling," And a bit depressing as well, what with so many students just disappearing due to the US recalling all their citizens back to American soil.

Shoving those depressing thoughts aside, Apollonia focused on the present once more, just narrowly managing to avoid another harsh tumble by stepping into the personal space of Jacques and his date, smiling apologetically at the woman on Jacques' arm.

The confirmation that he had not mistaken the witch for somebody else was a welcome one. It would have been quite embarrassing to guess the witch to be someone under age and then be told he'd completely gotten it wrong. But, it did put him in a little bit of a predicament, in truth.

The explanation of wanting to wind down was both understandable, and left the younger witch vulnerable to those in the club that didn't understand she was underage. Once more, the Frenchman found himself at a loss for what to do with the situation, and understandably looked for something he could possibly do to make better of the situation.

"This is my girlfriend, Kiranjeet," the Frenchman supplied just as someone brushed past Apollonia and pushed the witch closer to the couple for a moment. Jacques kindly supported the witch in the moment until she stepped back from his personal space once more. "Kiran, this is Apollonia, one of Mimosa's friends from Hogwarts." He explained over the music.

The Malaysian witch smiled kindly. "Nice to meet you, Apollonia," there was a gentle tug at Jacques' arm to follow the introduction, and the subtle hint the witch wanted to go back to their dancing, but the Frenchman didn't move off to dance.

"Do you want to join us?" The man would ask, not really wanting to let Apollonia out of his sight in case something happened. Kiranjeet would likely be a little put out, but they couldn't leave a child in
a room full of drunken people on her own.

Being specifically introduced as Mimosa's friend was quite amusing to the Slytherin witch, she didn't think that she had ever introduced herself as such but Jacques didn't know her personally so it was understandable that he would introduce her like that. Her lips twitched in amusement as she thought of introducing herself like that to Mimosa's fans - she wondered what reactions she would get; probably disbelief. Maybe she should try it one day?

Following her introduction, Apollonia bowed her head in greeting to the beautiful woman at Jacques' side. "It's lovely to meet you as well, Kiranjeet." Her tone was polite and a smile was ever-present on her face. She'd hate to insult the woman and using her best manners would at least reassure her that she wasn't doing anything wrong.

At the offer of joining them, Apollonia frowned. "Oh, I wouldn't want to interrupt your date, truly. The guys at the bar have been keeping an eye on me and I'm planning on heading back to Hogwarts fairly soon." The lie about heading back to Hogwarts soon slipped effortlessly from her lips; she planned to stay out a bit longer, at least long enough so that the common room would be empty. And since it was a weekend Apollonia had time till at least early hours of the morning.
