Recipient: dolorous_ett Prompt: Hagrid teaches Lavender Brown the rudiments of ballroom dancing Word count: 100 Rating: PG
As Lavender hurried past the Great Hall, a noise erupted from the darkened room, stopping her in her tracks. Wand out, she stepped inside.
There sat Hagrid, face buried in an enormous handkerchief.
“Loved to dance, Olympe did . . . fine dancer . . . fine woman,” he sobbed, as if Lavender would understand. And of course she did. Everyone had lost someone.
Without meaning to, she said the first thing that came to mind. “I can't dance.”
Hagrid looked incredulous. “Can't dance? 'Course yer can.”
And Lavender let him lead, counting one-two-three, one-two-three, and wishing everything could be so simple.

When I received the prompt, I was tempted to take a more humorous approach - but I’m not very good at writing comedy and tend to go the darker, sadder routes. Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting!
