_Levicorpus_A summer wedding and a heartfelt reassurance.
ReviewedHoneysuckle Rose
“For me?” she begged her husband, twirling her hips a little like a young girl in a new dress. The dress itself, however, wasn’t new. It had been her mother’s when she got married and her grandmother’s before. Severus tilted his head at his beaming young wife, taking in the flush she got right around her third glass of champagne, and the golden toe ring shining from her bare feet.
“Only for you,” he admitted, pulling every part of her close to him once on the dance floor. He smelled the roses pinned into her loose hair and then inhaled the lingering sweat on her body that had intoxicated him during every chance encounter they had had since they had seen each other as equals.
Laughing as they fell onto their wedding bed in France, they laid inches apart in order to take in the lifetime ahead of them.
“Are you even scared at all?” she asked, her voice quivering a little as his deft fingers loosened the thick white ribbons that crisscrossed over her back.
He sat her up and held her just under the shoulders with both his hands.
“I love you, Hermione.” Severus said. “That is enough reassurance for several lifetimes. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a wife to seduce.”
Author's Note: This drabble is a loose sequel or friend of 'Je Voudrais Dormir' in that both were written in result of my intoxication with French music. The title and the tone were inspired by 'Honeysuckle Rose,' a fantastic song performed by Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli.

By the way: this is an American song written by the great Fats Waller (Ain't misbehaving and many more...)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeysuckle_Rose_(song)
Response from _Levicorpus_ (Author of Honeysuckle Rose)
Oh, really? I had no idea! Well thank you so much for your review.
Response from Muggline (Reviewer)
Well if you only know the instrumental version you probably don't know the lyrics: Ev'ry honeybee fills with jealousy when you're going out with me - I don't blame them, goodness knows, my honeysuckle rose. Flowers droop and sigh when we're walking by and I know the reason why: you're much sweeter goodness knows, my honeysucle rose. / Don't buy sugar - you just have to touch my cup! You're my sugar - it gets so sweet when you stir it up! / When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips oh, the honey fairly drips: your confection goodness knows, my honeysuckle rose.

This is so lovely and sweet. I hope you will never get over your addiction to French music as it proves to be a wonderful muse.

I love that song. It's so bautiful. Have you seen the movie about Edith Piaf's life?
Response from _Levicorpus_ (Author of Honeysuckle Rose)
I saw part of it and was scarred for life! I was far too sensitive to watch the whole thing, but I do know that it was very powerful.

Hmm I am going to have to seek out the other tale. I want to know how they came to the wedding night. Why would he be afraid?

Unfortunately, they aren't exactly sequential. It's just a common inspiration. But thank you for the review!

This was such a sweet, sweet story. And I am just thrilled that someone else enjoys Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli!
