Severus was eager to leave the Entrance Hall and the display of the memorial. It had been draining enough to make the thing, he did not want to look at it any more tonight. It was fortunate that his first encounter upon entering the room was with two young women who, if not precisely 'allies' in his scale of non-friendships, were at least relatively tolerably disposed towards him.

"Ladies," he greeted with a nod. Miss Granger, in particular, appeared slightly flushed, while Ginevra appeared excited. Two women in such a state could only be assumed to be deep in discussion of their present romantic interests. "Forgive my interruption, I shall not detain you. Miss Granger, the Headmistress feels it is the duty of staff to 'mingle' properly at this function, as you know."

This was reason enough, in his mind, to command a dance at her earliest convenience, but he sorted through his words to present it as a civil request rather than an order. He then included Ginevra in the presentation so as to satisfy all Minerva's demands. 'You will dance, Severus, and you will be polite. And not just with your colleagues.'

"Therefore, if you would accompany me in a dance during the course of the evening, it would be an honour. You, as well, Ginevra."

Of course, he couldn't care less if they refused - he'd asked, which would have to satisfy the Headmistress. Then again, to have an opportunity to enrage Potter by dancing with Ginevra was always welcome.

Hermione was actually glad for the interruption, it was probably best she didn't loose herself in gossip before the night could really even begin.

"Good evening Professor." She greeted, doing her best to control the giddy girly feeling that had settled over her. "It's not a problem. We were just finished actually." Hermione shot a grin at Ginny that clearly said 'I'm not telling you who he is, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah'

Taking the glass the barman handed her, Hermione pressed it into her young friend's hand. Hermione gave Ginny one last broad grin before turning to The Potion's Master.

"The first dance of the night is all yours." She gave a brief curtsey. "If you'd like." Hermione was almost astounded at her own good mood. Although she always polite it wasn't often she was glowing with some kind of unexplainable happiness. The song was upbeat, but still easy to dance to, The Weird Sister's always managed to find a happy medium.
