Harry nodded. Whilst it wasn't technically true, Loki knew how to dance, and Harry could simply channel the god through himself. Well, it wasn't exactly simple, thus why he didn't use it to learn how to fight.
With Loki's help he could do it subconsciously, not having to concentrate on it, but it would also make it impossible for him to do any magic.
Not being able to simultaneously use a blade and magic was bad. Not being able to dance and do magic? Not so much.
"Don't tell me that's why you made me come half an hour early, to ask me if I knew how to dance? What were you going to do if I didn't know how to dance, try and see if you could teach me in half an hour?"
Marco rolled his eyes. "Of course not, I made you come early to ensure all was in order." He paused briefly. "And to the latter, I really have no idea."
A snort escaped Harry. "So, what's my cover?"
"You're a son of a wealthy associate from America-"
"Can I be Russian?" Harry interrupted. Marco raised an eyebrow. "I can do the accent really well," he supplied.
Marco appeared sceptical, but said, "Sure."
"Anyway, what does your sister know? Am I a guard or a mysterious Russian vampire prince, come to-"
Marco shot him a glare that reduced that the rest of his sentence to sniggers. "A guard, and can you actually do a Russian accent, or are you just going to look like an idiot?"
Harry looked slightly appalled. "Marco, how dare you doubt me?" he said, slightly channelling his limited AllSpeak ability into a Russian accent.
Marco looked slightly impressed. "Okay, good enough. Also, don't piss my sister off. Her word has good standing with our father, and if you can impress her, it could result in promotion."
"What exactly is a promotion? Do I get to extort higher-end stores?"
With a shrug, Marco said, "We'll see."
They were now nearing the next set of doors, and Harry allowed himself to relax, mentally making sure that he was prepared. Somehow, he still felt that having to dance was more of a threat than assassination attempts.
'My host's first contact with someone his age in six years, and a girl at that.' A mocking sigh escaped Loki. 'They grow up so fast.'

Face smoothed over and emotionless, Harry entered the room after Marco. Among the various staff and guards moving around the room were the rest of Marco's family: Lord Aurelius, Lady Aurelius, and their daughter, Maria Aurelius.
Marco and Maria seemed to both take after their father, all sharing jet black hair, tanned skin, and bright blue eyes.
Lady Aurelius on the other hand had blonde hair, and with her beauty, Harry wouldn't be surprised if one of her ancestors was a Veela.
With Marco leading, Harry walked up to them. Immediately three sets of eyes were scanning over him in a way he found slightly unnerving.
"So, this is him?" asked Lord Aurelius, to which Marco nodded. His expression grew pensive. "You trust him?"
"With my life," confirmed Marco, "and with Maria's." The girl rolled her eyes, though no others seemed to notice.
Marco's father nodded. "Very well, we'll leave you two to socialize," he said, looking to Harry and Maria before walking off with his wife, Marco trailing behind.
Maria and Harry awkwardly sat down at a table, facing each other with the latter silently cursing Marco for putting him in this situation and ignoring Loki's reminders of him putting himself in it.
"So, you're Harry?"
"Yes, and you're Maria."
She looked over him. "What magic school do you go to? I'm in my third year at Beauxbatons."
Harry shook his head. "There's nothing useful I can learn there, so I don't go." Maria looked incredulous, so he added, "I do have a tutor however. I have no doubt that at the height of his power he would be able to beat almost any wizard in the world."
'Almost?' Loki questioned. 'Should I be offended, Harry?'
'Shut up. If I big you up any more, it's going to sound like my mentor is bloody Dumbledore.'
"And what's his name?" Maria asked.
He grinned. "I'm afraid that's highly confidential."
Maria reached over and placed a hand on his thigh. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
'Um, Loki, is she trying to do some crappy wandless magic or something?'
The god snorted. 'Nope, just trying to manipulate you. She is absolutely terrible at it, but I suppose it usually doesn't take much to fool a hormonal teenager.'
'Hey! I'm not hormonal!'
'I live inside your head, and always see what you look at and what you do.' Harry made to speak, but Loki interrupted, 'Always.'
Harry was silent for a moment. 'Good point, but I'm twelve so I'm therefore not a hormonal teenager.' To that, Loki only snorted.
"I'm fine actually," Harry said, taking great joy from the brief disappointment that flashed across her face.
'If only you weren't under an illusion, we could have some fun with this,' Loki muttered.
'What do you mean?'
'Well, I need to teach you seduction at some point, and who better to practise with than a rich heiress with a lot of influence? This form is nothing special, but your true appearance is incredibly attractive, being modelled after me, of course.'
'Oh, Loki, teach me how to be as humble as you,' Harry mocked. 'Why are you such an expert at seduction anyway?'
'It all comes with the role of being a master of illusion. Seduction – whether by lust, power, or gold – can get you a lot of things, and let me tell you, it is truly a wonderful feeling to have people like putty in your hands. You can have them grovel at your feet, or you can spit on their affections and rip their emotions apart. To have such power over someone is a feeling of true domination that only few get to experience, and under my guidance, you will be one of them.'
