hogwarts365 prompt 252- “I'm about as intimidating as a butterfly.”― Dan Howell, In violation, Metal
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction created for fun and no profit has been made.
Notes: I intended to do Harry/Draco, but Ron/Draco demanded this. I hope readers like it.
Summary: Ron has to learn ballet.
“Weasley, if you don’t learn to do this, you will be in violation of my orders.”
“Kingsley, why do I have to take ballet?” Ron asked, face looking as if he had swallowed a mouthful of stinksap.
“It will help increase your stealth on missions.”
“Meaning…?”
“What our esteemed leader is trying to say is that you have all the grace of a drunken erumpent, and it endangers not only you, but also me as your partner. Thus your need to learn ballet. It’s not that bad.”
“How would you know, Malfoy?”
“My mum made me take lessons. It was part of my training as a Malfoy heir.”
“I never thought I’d be so thankful to have grown up poor.”
“Oh, har har. At least my clumsy feet don’t give us away on stakeouts.”
“Gentlemen! Are you two quite finished?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Weasley, you have my orders. It is of course your choice whether or not to follow them; but if you don’t, I will be forced to take disciplinary action against you.”
“I’d rather wear a metal tutu than face your wrath, Kingsley.”
“Male dancers don’t wear tutus, Weasley. Have you ever actually watched a ballet, Weasley? Some of those men are rather intimidating.”
“I’d feel about as intimidating as a butterfly.”
“Give it a chance before you say that, Weasley. I’ve taken ballet myself. I found it a great asset to my work, which is why I suggested it for you.”
“You’ve taken ballet?”
“Do you think I’d tell my Aurors to do something that I wouldn’t do myself?”
“Well, now I feel like a right plonker.”
“The two of you are dismissed. Just think about what I said.”
“Of course.”
“Would you like to go to the ballet with me tonight? Maybe see what you think of it? If you stay awake through the whole affair, I’ll buy you dinner afterward.”
“I never say no to food, Malfoy. You know that.”
“There is a reason Shacklebolt made us partners. I know your weaknesses, and we balance each other out.”
“Will you help me with this ballet mess, then?”
“OF course. I think you’ll look positively smashing in tights.”
“You’re kidding, right Malfoy?”
