John and Amelia walked into the Malfoy's living room, both wearing masks and formal wear for the Masquerade ball.
Thanks to Auror Moody, they had reason to believe that there was a man that would arrive that was currently a fugitive; Antonin Dolohov, and thanks to Lucius Malfoy he had revealed that they had been right.
John leaned against the wall, looking at the different couples dancing.
"Lucuis hadn't been happy about us being here," John remarked with a grin.
"True, but the only way that he wouldn't be sent straight to Azkaban was if he cooperated, and he had no real choice in the matter." Amelia responded, as she too watched the couples dancing, keeping an extra eye out for Dolohov.
"It's a shame that we can't enjoy tonight, you look stunning Milly." John told her.
Amelia scowled at the nickname and gave him a look of surprise.
"Now is not the time to flirt with me, Dawlish!" She exclaimed.
"It's always the time to flirt with you." John replied back.
Amelia sighed and shook her head.
"Can't you ever be serious?" she asked.
"Of course I can, but now's not one of those times." John said.
"Clearly," Amelia replied with a snort, causing John to laugh.
Suddenly the candles that had flickered throughout the living room went out, causing everyone to scream in fright.
"Lumos!" John shouted, making light appear, however dimly.
They saw a figure running through the living room, bumping into people.
"Stop! In the name of the law!" Amelia shouted, raising her wand. People moved out of the way, making it impossible for Amelia to get a clear shot.
"Quick! Before he escapes!" Amelia cried, rushing after him.
John sighed with disappointment, wishing that they could have had a few more minutes alone.
