“I save your worthless little life and this is how you repay me?”
“I don't understand the problem Godfather. You asked me to, I quote, 'Save me from a Potterized Stag Party.'” Draco gestured around the India-inspired room. “This is all for you. Are you not having a good time?”
Severus sneered at Draco's overt cheerfulness at the situation. “I am grateful not to be suffering at the hands of a gaggle of Gryffindors. Perhaps I am just missing the point.”
Draco smirked as he spoke, “You'll see the point momentarily.” He clapped his hands together, cuing the music.

A line of women came shimmying through the sari draped doorway. Only their backs could be seen as the women dipped, swayed their hips and undulated in time to the sensual music.
Severus couldn't shake an uneasy feeling the women's familiarity brought. He couldn't put his finger on what triggered that response, and it made him extremely unsettled.
Draco noticed Severus' discomfort, snorted and asked “Are you ready?”
“Ready for what?” he managed to choke out.
Draco clapped his hands again and the woman twisted, turned and rolled their bodies back upright, revealing their faces.
“What the...How did...DRACO!”

“It's only a little Polyjuice. Hermione had absolutely no objections when I approached her about this. I think she was relieved at the idea of you looking at her body instead of another woman's.”
Severus merely stared in awe. He couldn't believe that his fiancée, the woman he loved more than anything, would allow Draco to follow through with such a crazy scheme.
Draco took in Severus' stunned silence for a moment before he spoke. “She called it a preview of what's to come.”
“What?”
“I believe she was referring to your honeymoon.”
“Consider your life debt paid-in-full.”
