[For a moment, Molly stares at it before looking back at Arthur. Was he really serious about this? With a small smile, she took it]

Don't worry, I know I'm bad but I'm not that bad.

Good, then.

[He's very serious. Arthur leads her out onto the dance floor and sets her hand on his shoulder, placing his own against her waist after a moment of embarrassed hesitation. He holds onto her other hand with an odd kind of delicacy, giving her a slight, curt nod before leading into a dance that's not too taxing on their skill levels.

Even the most simple dance steps can look elegant if performed correctly, after all.]

[Meanwhile Molly was feeling some hesitation on her part. She never danced with something like this, has she? It was expected given what little self-esteem Molly has. When she felt his hand on her waist, she froze for a moment before looking back at him.

Oh right, that's how the waltz is suppose to go.

Once he held her other hand, she nodded right back and tried her best to follow Arthur's steps. So far so good. She hoped that she doesn't step on his feet. She'll be occasionally looking once in a while]

[At least she didn't freak out and slap him, which he had honestly expected for the briefest of moments before it occurred to him that Molly isn't really like that at all.

The idea perpetuated by some in his House that Arthur makes a very strange Slytherin certainly doesn't seem to be that far off the mark with his present good nature.

When they get to the end of the dance without any major incident, he gives a small bow.]

[As Arthur took that small bow, Molly did a small curtsy. That was the polite thing to do as there was a small smile on her face. Good, nothing bad happened so far!]

You know, you're a really good dancer Arthur! I didn't know you were this talented.

[rule_britannia]

[He smiles in return and gives a small, polite nod.]

I benefit greatly from having a good partner.

[catblog]

I wouldn't say that, I had a good teacher who helped me after all!

[And she still thinks she can't dance. Nope]

[rule_britannia]

Aha..

[He wouldn't agree with that, she did quite well!]

These old fashioned traditions come in handy at times.

[catblog]

And this is one of those times!

[giggle]

I suppose this can be as teaching me now to dance just like how I taught you how to draw the cats! [Even though she didn't really do all that much...]
