The song was ending, and Severus had deftly manoeuvered them to the edge of the dance floor, on purpose to minimise the amount of time he would be required to spend in her now extremely distasteful company.

"Of course he is supposed to be reformed. As am I."

He tapped the collar visible at his throat, taking great risk in removing his hand from hers to do so.

"That does not mean I trust him any more than I trust anyone else - and a great deal less than most."

As he could see she would not let up without a fight - and he was equally unprepared to give in, he merely raised a haughty brow at her.

"You are dangerously close to prying into my personal affairs, girl. Now would be the prudent time to drop it. There is nothing more to discuss. If it is an issue which affects you, you will learn of it - but not from me."

The music stopped, and couples began trickling away from the dance floor, while others stood in place, eagerly awaiting the start of the next song.

He walked her to the table from whence he had collected her, and offered her a very slight, stiff bow.

"Thank you for the dance. If you will excuse me, it is my duty to mingle. Good evening."

Tonks clenched her jaw, but she didn't say anything. Let him be whatever it was he was being. See if she bloody well cared. There was no point in getting over an argument about it, although admittedly it'd been an enjoyable dance before this. Whatever she'd done, she wanted to know. And rather desperately. But she wasn't about to make a scene for it.

When he dropped her back off at her table, she merely allowed a curt nod and a terse "Good evening." Nothing left to say, and she wasn't going to fight it anymore. She'd figure it out later.
