The Britain's Queen

Dance

It's been two weeks since Chrysanthemum and Severus got the letter from Severus brother's. While he didn't know what his wife wrote, the smile on her face had promised pain, so he didn't ask. Right now it was Tuesday and class just ended, Severus was sitting in the living room working on some papers when Chrysanthemum walked in

"Hi" Chrysanthemum smiled at her husband setting her bag on the sofa next to him "Hello dear" Severus set his quill down smiling a little at the blush on Chrysanthemum cheeks "How was classes, today?" 

"Fine" Chris shrugged sitting next to her husband "Not a lot of homework, just an essay for your class and a paper for Ancient Ruins" Chris sighed thinking back the work that needs to be done. It's paper after paper after paper and it's getting tiring trying to keep up with all the work, she hasn't been able to relax 

Severus looked up noticing his wife quiet for too long, she was tense and playing with her rings something he picked up with her being anxious and needing release "Why don't you go dance?" He suggested. Chrysanthemum snapped her head to her husband with a frown "But, I haven't finish my work yet, I'm not al-" 

She cut herself off before she could finish that sentence. I'm not allowed to dance until everything is done or I'll get hurt, she finishes in her head tensing up even more

Severus paid close attention and noticed that whatever she was going to say sent her back into the dark place in her mind. He gently grabbed her hand rubbing circles on her back waiting for her to come back, in the weeks they've been married this has happened three times so far, he knows she needs to come back on her own but he can help bring her back quicker with touch 

Chris takes deep breaths in and out repeating it over and over until she looked down to see her hand in Severus "Are you back?" Severus asked quietly not wanting to spook her "Yeah" Chris looked up into his onyx eyes with a slight smile "You can do your work later Chrysanthemum, it's no big deal. Go dance and clear your head" 

Chrysanthemum nodded and got up, grabbing her bag she gave Severus a quick kiss on the cheek before rushing to their bedroom. Ever since the kiss two weeks back, they have gotten closer, lots of kisses on the cheeks and forehead but none of the lips again 

Closing the door behind her, she sets her bag on the floor by her side of the bed and walks to her wardrobe, looking through the new clothes Severus bought her, she picked out blue leggings, a black sport bra and a white T. 'Good thing I made sure to by muggle clothes' she thoughts changing from her school uniform to her dance clothes

She takes off her rings, bracelet and necklaces as she walks to her bedside table putting everything in it's place. Since she had so many Lady rings, plus her regular rings, bracelets, ear rings and necklaces she had to get a brand new jewelry box. One that held everything she had with over filling 

Once she was jewelry free, Chris left the bedroom and entered her dance room. Severus looked down the hall when he heard the door and smiled seeing Chris going into her dance room

Chris left the door ajar, heading over to the bar stretching a little before pulling out her wand "Musica" she said the music spell while thinking of the song she wants. Once it started Chris closes her eyes and started dancing  

Severus heard the music and couldn't help but stop working and go to watch his wife dance. He was shocked seeing her dance, he believed she only did ballet but her she is dancing beautifully to a song he never heard

"Wow" he breathed out watching her flip in the air. Once the song ended he entered the room fully making Chrysanthemum snap her head towards him "How long have you been there?" she asked 

"Since you started" 

Chrysanthemum blushed a dark red making him laugh softly, which didn't help since his laugh was deep and smooth, like coming home after a hard day of work and all you want to do is go home and sit by the window with hot chocolate "I thought you did ballet" 

"I do" She pushed some strands of hair away "Bella teaches me Ballet but she also teaches me different branches of dance..." Chris shrugs her shoulders "I dance whatever I feel" 

"Hmm and you feel love?" Severus asked walking closer to his wife who blushed harder making her face as dark as her hair "I-I think so. I-I never f-felt what th-this type of love feels l-l-like" Chrysanthemum stuttered out getting distracted by the heat pouring off her husband 

"Breath dear" Severus rest his hands on her cheeks making her lean more into him. She takes deep breaths getting the scent of pine and rose wood "Sorry" Chris muttered embarrassed. Severus leaned down and kissed her forehead "Not to worry my queen" 

Chrysanthemum looked up at her husband confused "My queen?" She questioned her new nickname. She's used to 'My dear' but nothing else. Severus shrugged looking down at his wife "You are the queen and since not many people know, that means you're my queen" 

Chrysanthemum laughs covering her mouth with her hand trying to hide her smile "I'm not a queen" She disagreed shaking her head trying not to think of the necklace in her bedside draw. Severus sighed knowing his wife is going to deny it until she's forced to take the mantel "Agree to disagree" he shrugged casting a tempus "Go do your work, dinner is in a hour" 

Chrysanthemum nodded and kissed his cheek before going to their bedroom to change and get her stuff ready
