James Potter looked around the room, mentally slapping himself on the forehead over and over. He couldn't believe he was here. Thank Merlin that Lily had had the excuse of first trimester nausea to keep her at home. She certainly would not have had the self-control to keep a straight face when presented with so much blatant poppycock.
There was no way that this crowd was ever going to support anything the Order of the Phoenix did, whatever he said. Everyone here was either a Death Eater or was terrified of them. Well, what could you expect. A party at Malfoy manor. Why Frank Longbottom would send him into this vipers' den was beyond him.
He found his way out onto a balcony, where there were dark and quiet corners. Here he was finally alone. Or was he? James's Prefect days came back to him in vivid detail when he noticed a tall, dark form in one of those corners. Why, if he didn't know better he would think that it was...
"Snivellus! By Merlin's saggy balls, it's you! 50 points from Slytherin for..." James gasped as Snape unwound himself from another dark body. "For lewd behavior! What's the matter, Snivellus? So desperate to see how the other half lives that you've hired yourself out as the entertainment for the evening?"
Snape stepped out of the shadows, his face carefully blank. After him came Lucius Malfoy.
Uh-oh, thought James.
"What a lovely demonstration of the Potter charm about which we've all heard so much," Malfoy drawled, a smirk on his face that would silence a Jarvey.
James froze. His surprise was giving way to disgust. What had those two been doing in the shadows? It was all too obvious. Snape was a bloody whore. But Malfoy was still bearing down on James. He found himself scuttling backwards, and was becoming quite nervous about his situation. He had just insulted Malfoy's, what? His boyfriend? Several times. When James's hips hit a railing behind him, he panicked.
"Watch yourself, Malfoy." He meant it to sound threatening, but it came out a bit like a squeak. Snape's cruel mouth curved a bit as he watched James squirm. "I'll bet your wife would like to know..."
Suddenly Narcissa Malfoy was there. She stepped up beside her husband and quirked one perfect brow at James. She was pregnant, further along than Lily. Unlike Lily, she was perfectly composed. Her silver sheath dress showed her tiny baby bump to full advantage, and she seemed like someone who had never known a moment of nausea.
"What would I like to know, Mr. Potter?" she asked.
"Er... Um..."
"And now we have a demonstration of the famous Potter wit!" Lucius exclaimed. "Perhaps he'll muss up his hair for us next, Severus. Give us the full force of his... personality."
Severus Snape was now definitely smiling. It was a terrifying sight.
Lucius continued, "There is nothing you could tell my wife that she would find interesting, Mr. Potter. Or that she does not already know. If you have a fancy to try your hand at blackmail, I suggest you start a bit... smaller."
Now Narcissa was smiling, too. James felt very confused. What the hell was wrong with these people? Did they have no sense of decency? Just what kind of games were they playing?
Narcissa whispered something in her husband's ear. He nodded to James, then to Snape. Narcissa offered her hand to Snape, and he kissed it. The Malfoys then turned and walked back into the manor, arm in arm. James was still pressed up against the railing. Snape graced him with one last sneer, then Apparated away.
James Potter was left alone on the balcony. He shook his head, unbelieving. It had been a terrible mistake to come tonight. He was going to make Frank Longbottom aware of this as soon as he got away from here. He didn't care what time it was. He'd be damned if he was the only one who was going to be suffering tonight.
