The Durmstrang Potter Twin

And Finally... The Dance

A/N Hey guys! I know it's been a long time sorry about that. I've been searching for a Latin dance video for this thing but I couldn't find one so once you read it and you think I need one comment and maybe send me a video you like. Thank you!

Lily's POV
I walked down the stairs first, gracefully, relishing the look of James's astonishment as he watched me. I walked in front of him and he snapped out of the dazed state he was in and offered me his arm. I took it before watching Tara. I rolled my eyes as she took up her normal walking stance. Feline smooth steps, like she was an assassin. I wouldn't doubt that she had been one before either. I glanced at Sirius's face. Well he didn't mind. A dumbstruck look had overcome his face and he sat there gaping until she made it in front of him. She denied his offered arm and instead wrapped an arm around his waist. He easily wrapped his arm around her shoulders and grinned at her. She glanced up at him and chuckled but smiled back. He gave her the one red rose he'd been holding and she smiled and took it and put it behind her ear. We walked to the fireplace and after placing a repelling spell on ourselves to keep the dust off and then we flooed to Hogwarts. We all landed easily on the ground and linked arms with our partners. When Remus and Tonks showed up we all paraded to the Great Hall. When we walked in, apparently late, all eyes turned to us. Half of them turned to James and I and the other half(mostly the female population and Durmstrang kids) turned to Sirius and Tara who were laughing together at some unseen joke. The female population looked on in jealousy as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to, still laughing, pull her in for a quick peck on the lips whereas the Durmstrang boys sat there with confused looks on their faces. The other half was pointing and whispering at James and I. After that the attention went to Tonks and Remus. They were quietly whispering and laughing together, already in their own little world. I looked up at James who was guiding us toward the dance floor to dance with all of the other couples and groups of people and smiled before starting dancing. We watched Tara and Sirius make their way over to the punch table to assumedly spike the punch if the Durmstrang kids hadn't already while Remus and Tonks made their way over to a secluded corner. Suddenly the Head Boy and Girl popped up on the large stage and called us to their attention. After a long speech about food, the decorations, the punch, more food, and cookies, they finally left the stage with enunciated bows. I clapped sarcastically with everyone else, not impressed at all by their boring speech. And then the music changed to a fast paced Latin dance and I saw Tara and Sirius standing in the middle of a quickly forming circle, grinning at each other, almost as if they were challenging one another to dance. I narrowed my eyes. I had never seen them dance, except for last night and they really hadn't looked like they could dance then at all. I took in their looks. Tara's dress had changed somewhat to allow full body movement as she danced and Sirius had removed his suit vest and left it somewhere and his tie hung loosely around his neck. Then they were dancing. Not like normal people but like two well trained professional dancers who would never misplace a step. They were smirking at each other, each with a deviousness in their eyes as if this was a battle to be won. Tara was smooth, sexy while Sirius was... well the same except for the sexy part. Ew... Just ew. I watched as they dance with the most fluid movements I had ever seen, as if they had been made to dance together, to be together. It was truly amazing.

Tara's POV
Sirius and I walked hand in hand to the punch table ignoring Lily and James as they began to sway to the slow song that had come on and also ignoring Remus and his soon- to- be girlfriend.
Suddenly Sirius gasped and put a finger in the air," Now I know why I know Tonks! She's my cousin that I see at my family reunions(kay guys I know that she's Andromeda's daughter and this is way before she was born but I had to put her in here so, sorry if it's a little inaccurate, her parents just won't be mentioned as much and her mother will just be like Andromeda is in the story and marries a muggle man. Hope you don't mind!) but we don't really ever see each other anymore since her mother was disowned."
I nodded and pulled out my firewhiskey flask to pour the contents into the punch bowl. After it was nearly empty we walked to the center of the floor to dance. And the Latin dance started to play. I smirked at Sirius and he smirked back at me. A silent challenge. Can you keep up with me? I silently altered my dress so I could dance freely. I narrowed my eyes as I looked up to see he had taken off his suit vest. The real challenge: who would be the better dancer?
I stalked up to him, hips swaying just like Aphrodite had taught me. Seductiveness was a weapon too. He took me by the waist and in an instant my leg wrapped around his waist and I was bending backwards while I wrapped my arms around his neck piercing his skin with long fingernails before slowly pulling myself back up. Smoothly he whipped me into a spin before stopping me and bending me backwards. Slowly I slid into the splits. We continued like this for a good five minutes before the song ended. We finished with me in a dip, him bending low over me, holding me with one arm. Everyone was deathly silent as he leaned down farther, his free hand on my cheek. I closed the distance between us and placed my lips on his gently. We kissed for a few seconds before I pulled away and, pressing my body against his, stood up.
I pressed my lips against his ear," Very well done Sirius. But I was going easy on you."
His large hand spread on the small of my back as he leaned to whisper in my ear," And you think I wasn't?"
I raised an eyebrow and kissed his ear before saying," Your breathlessness says otherwise."
He narrowed his eyes at me playfully," When we get home I can make you breathless."
Everybody had started dancing again and I bit the top of his ear before saying," Yes. If I let you."
He chuckled," Let's go get some punch huh?"
I laughed," Sure."
Neither of us payed attention to our fanclubs as we walked to the punch tables. We raised our glasses and clinked them together before gulping them down. A few hours later and a hundred or so drunk teens were stumbling out of the castle to apparate home. I had quickly cast a spell to keep my group from being drunk and we soberly walked to the apparation place in Hogsmeade. My parents appeared in front of us with a loud crack and grabbed our arms before apparating away. When we got home they smiled at us and quickly ushered us into the house.
"Sorry kids but we have to leave. There was an emergency at work so we'll be back tomorrow, Christmas morning okay? Tara, don't blow up the house. Sirius, James don't prank with anything that'll leave permanent affects. Lily, Remus, Tonks please keep an eye on them," my mum said.
I crossed my arms," Mum that only happened once."
She shook her head and they hustled outside before apparating away. I threw my arms up in the air.
"Why can't they just forget that I blew the house up! It was only once!"
Lily rolled her eyes before saying," Well I'm going to go change. Tonks, Tara you coming with me?"
I walked up the stairs but turned into Sirius's room where I grabbed one of his shirts before walking into my room where the girls were. I took off the dress and slipped on the big shirt and some sweatpants. After wiping off my makeup and putting my hair up in a messy bun I walked downstairs with the other girls and plopped down on Sirius's lap. The shirt slipped off my shoulder on one side but I shrugged it off not really caring. Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"Is that my shirt?"
"Yep!" I said happily.
"Why are you wearing it?" he asked amusedly.
"Cuz I'm out of pajama shirts and this smells good."
Tonks had curled up with Remus and James was stunned to silence as Lily laid down with her head in his lap. Only after a few seconds did he come back to reality and begin playing with her hair. I rolled my eyes at him. I stared at the Christmas tree for a few seconds and at the several presents underneath it. Then I got up, got ice cream, and went back to sit on Sirius's lap. They all looked at me jealously as I licked my ice cream happily. I grinned at them and stuck my tongue out at them before digging into the chocolate ice cream. All of us teenagers sitting around the tree at peace, safe and happy.

A/N sorry this took so long guys I was held back from finishing it. I'm going to publish another on Christmas day!
