Summary
Inspired by the song "Dancing With Your Ghost" by Sasha Sloan, as well as "You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me" by Celestina Warbeck.
*****
“Since my brother was too stupid to realize he had the chance to dance with a pretty girl, why don’t you dance with me instead?” he asked.“What?” she said, genuinely surprised. “The ball is over.”
“So?” he said, throwing the dress robes he held to the side and offered her his hand. “We can do it right here.”
“Okay,” she said tentatively and grabbed his hand allowing him to pull her up.
She shuffled closer to him. One hand in his and the other shyly resting on his shoulder.
“There’s no music,” she whispered, looking up into his warm brown eyes. Their proximity made his tawny colored freckles stand out all the more against his pale skin.
“Don’t worry about that,” he said, gripping her waist and pulled her closer to him.

Quite badly, in fact.

Summary
Azkaban was not merely cold or bleak. It was saturated with emotion: the residue of fear, hatred, despair. The dementors might well have been removed, but their influence remained - some said it will likely last for generations. Hermione remembered her single visit there, years before, for a legal inspection: the air itself felt wrong, heavy, as though grief floated in it like fog. She had lasted forty minutes before her hands began to shake - and it had taken nearly two hours afterwards to steady her breathing.
She pictured him there. Confined among hundreds whose every breath carried terror and regret - and feeling it all. Not metaphorically, but actually feeling it - as a deafening sound. As physical pain - without pause, without shelter.
The thought made her stomach clench.
