— “ excuse me, just what do you think you’re doing ? ” narcissa was doing her very best to keep her voice soft, not wanting to draw attention to herself and the odd boy who was leading her towards a throng of dancing couples. to her left, a giggling group of other teenagers stood, eyes glued to the strange pair as the blonde woman tried her hardest to pry her hand from his without seeming too obviously confused.“ i don’t remember accepting an invitation to– ”
— dance. while narcissa loved dancing, dancing with strangers was not on her list of things she wished to do tonight. maybe if she had consumed more champagne before being whisked away she could have accepted it with a lighthearted laugh but that was not the case. as the music slowed to a waltz she found herself moving stiffly along to the sounds of violin, her nails now digging into the boys shoulder. “ who are you ? is this a strange game of some sort that i don’t understand ? ”
