Summary: Hermione can not dance so shes goes to her favorite Professor for help little does she know that her Professor is carrying a dark and terrible secret.
Hogwarts
Professor McGonagall sat at her paper covered desk adding up last months expenses. Her white fingers darted rapidly over the abacus, sliding the beads up and down, muttering the figures aloud to herself as she wrote them down in a Hogwarts expenses journal. Recounting the figures for the third time the Professor failed to notice the figure of a young woman enter her office.
"Professor?" came a voice from in front of her desk causing the older witch to jolt up and grab her wand."Oh, Ms. Granger its you." Minerva breathed out lowering her wand.
"Sorry Professor I didn't mean to scare you" Hermione replied suppressing a giggle.
"Its alright Ms. Granger I was just finishing up here.""So what can I help you with?
Cheeks turning pink the young woman squeaked out "Well Its kind of embarrassing Professor."
Taking off her glasses, Minerva leans closer on her desk to show the girl she had her full attention. There was a pregnant pause before Minerva decided to break the silence " Ms. Granger you know you can tell me anything."
" Well you know the Formal Fall Dance that is coming up?" Hermione finally says then scolds herself Of course she knows about the fall dance you idiot shes the headmistress.
Minerva nods a yes.
Fidgeting with the sleeve of her robe "Well, everyone will be dancing."
"Most Likely"
Hermione sighs " That's just it"
"What is?" asked the older witch still not seeing the problem.
A little frustrated Hermione takes in a deep breath and blurts out. "I can't dance."
"Oh my dear, is that all?"Minerva asks as a smile spreads across her face. Noticing the young woman's red cheeks she then adds "That's nothing to be embarrassed about, Merlin I didn't learn how to dance until I was well into my mid 20s." "Well now no need to worry then I shall notify Professor Lupin to teach you how."
Hermione's face deflated. The look didn't get unnoticed by the raven haired woman. Why does she look so sad? Minerva thought then it hit her.
"Or would you like me to teach you?"
As the words hit the young woman's ears she lite up "I would like that very much Professor." she said with a big grin.
"Come to my Manor at 9 tonight."
Before the young witch could turn around to leave. Minerva stopped her "Oh and Ms. Granger."
"Yes Professor?"
"Wear a dress." Hermione quirked an eyebrow in question.
" Women must learn how to dance." the older woman said giving no farther explanation. Then dismissed the younger woman
The rest of the day was going by slowly for Hermione. Her mind was a whirl of thoughts. What am I going to wear? What kind of dance or dances will she show me? I hope it's a slow one. The last one made her shiver as she pictured the two of them dancing with their bodies pressed together, her head on the older woman's shoulder breathing in her scent. She shook her head to clear her mind what am I doing?
"What's the matter with you?" asked Ron breaking her train of thought.
"Nothing just pay attention to the lesson for once Ron." The young woman replied with an annoyed look on her face.
Ron opened his mouth to push the matter only to close it again thinking better of it.
Professor McGonagall's day went by in a blur of grading papers and scolding students. But her mind was in another world. Why had the girl come to her? Why not ask Harry or that young Weasley boy to teach her how? the thought of the boy Weasley dancing made her giggle, the boy could barley walk down the hall without tripping over something. Also Harry didn't look much like a dancer. Then a thought occurred to her "Why did her face look like I just told her the library burnt down when I mentioned Remus?""Maybe she wanted to dance with me and only me" That thought made her smile but then her smile quickly faded "No" she shook her head. "I'm just being an old fool she probably is just uncomfortable around Remus."
