A week later, the news of the disappearance of Regulus Black, the heir to the Black family, made headlines in the Daily Prophet.

For a time, only Cynthia Black was left in the Black family of Notda.

"Thea, where did Regulus go, don't you really know?" In the dimly lit old Gaunt mansion, Voldemort looked at the girl on her knees.

"I don't know, master!" Cynthia looked up in horror and looked at Voldemort condescendingly.

“Crucio！” Voldemort raised his wand, and a red light struck Cynthia.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh Cynthia let out a terrible scream.

"This is your punishment, Thea." Voldemort spoke slowly, continuing to output his magic.

It wasn't until Cynthia's screams died down that Voldemort stopped moving and threw her to the ground.

Cynthia lay on the ground, her body twitching, the pain in her heart kept coming, the robe on her body was already wet, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"I heard that you went to a wedding and the main characters of the wedding were two Gryffindors? Even, that woman is still a mudblood?! Voldemort's eyes narrowed scarlet.

"Hahaha!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Death Eaters burst out laughing at the mudbloods.

"Yes, master."

When Voldemort heard this, he pinched the girl's cheek violently. "Very well, so can I think that you want to join the Order of the Phoenix?"

"No, master! You don't know, that mudblood is Severus's ex-girlfriend! I'm just showing it off, I just want her to know that Severus will be the only one who will be with Severus in the end, not her Mudbloods! Cynthia shouted.

"Is that so?"

Little Barty stepped forward and said, "That's right, master! Severus had been following the mudbloods since he was in school. ”

Voldemort stared at the girl who was twitching on the ground, and I don't know how long it took before he spoke, "Okay, let's go back!" Then he turned and left the living room.

Little Barty walked over quickly and picked up Cynthia, who was lying on the ground. "How are you, Thea?"

"Thank you, Barty......" Cynthia looked up and glanced at little Barty gratefully.

"If it weren't for the master's order, I wouldn't have married you in this life! If you get any closer to Lily, I'll make you regret it! Severus walked over with a gloomy face, without a word of concern, and after dropping the threat, he strode away.

"Thea......" Barty stared fiercely at the man's departing back.

"It's all right, Barty. I'm going to go home first, and then I'm going back to Hogwarts, I can't be away for too long. Cynthia grabbed little Barty's hand and slowly stood up.

"Good night, then!" With that, she activated the portkey and returned to Grimmauld Place.

As soon as she returned, Cynthia sat down on the carpet, gasping for air.

"Thea! You're back! Regulus, Siris, and Amina, who had been waiting on the sofa for a long time, hurriedly gathered around.

"Palliative ......" Cynthia leaned into Regulus's arms and raised her hand weakly.

Siris hurried upstairs, brought a bottle of palliative, and handed it to Cynthia.

"Drill Heart Curse? Did he punish you? Regulus looked at the pale girl and spoke distressedly.

"The punishment was expected by me, don't worry. You just stay at home, I'm fine, and he doesn't suspect anything. After drinking the relieving pill, Cynthia felt better.

"Mina, take Thea upstairs to rest, you watch her tonight." Siris kissed his wife and instructed.

"Don't worry." Amina smiled softly and led Cynthia upstairs.

………………………………………

Time flies, and Cynthia is graduating.

She accepted a job with the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Transportation, the Flyer Network Administration.

After graduating, at Voldemort's behest, her wedding to Severus was put on the agenda.

"Severus, since Thea has graduated, then the wedding should also be ......" The day after Cynthia graduated, Voldemort brought up the matter at the regular meeting.

As Cynthia expected, Severus's face instantly darkened. "Master, I just want to simply go to the Ministry of Magic to register, there is no need to make it so grand."

"It's none of what I want, all I want is for you to marry her." Voldemort tapped the table with a blank face.

"Yes, master." Severus's face softened slightly, and he nodded quickly.

After the meeting, Severus stopped Cynthia, who wanted to leave. "Wait, Blake."

"Severus......" Cynthia paused, turning to look at the tall man behind her.

"See you tomorrow at ten o'clock in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic, let's go register." After saying this, he walked straight away.

Cynthia looked at his back in a daze, and bitterness and complexity instantly surged up. This man didn't even plan to give her a wedding, and even the registration was only to inform her.

Thea ...... Do you really want to marry him? Little Barty asked unwillingly.

"Barty, you know, I love him." Cynthia put away the emotions on her face.

At 9:50 the next day, Cynthia left her office and went to the sculpture in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, waiting for the man to arrive.

Sure enough, at ten o'clock, Severus showed up in time for the bustling hall.

"Let's go." He opened his mouth coldly and walked ahead. Cynthia had no choice but to trot all the way behind Severus.

"Ah, Miss Black! Are you coming? When the officials of the marriage department saw Cynthia, they immediately greeted her warmly.

"Well, Jalen Lanier, I'm here to register, here's my ...... Mr. Cynthia looked at the enthusiastic person in front of her and spoke a little awkwardly.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll handle it for you." Jalen Lanier looked at the two men, returned to his seat, and handed them two watches. "Let's fill out the form first, you two."

The two of them quickly filled out the form, and Jalen Lanier took out a stamp and stamped it.

"That's it! Mr. Snape, Mrs. Snape. You are now legally married, I wish you happiness! ”

"Thank you." When Cynthia heard Mrs. Snape, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In a word, Severus had disappeared.

"Bligh ...... Oh no, Lady Snape! What did Mr. Snape ......" Jalen Lanier looked at Cynthia curiously.

He ...... He's just a little busy. I'll go first. Cynthia didn't know what to say, so she had to keep her head down and leave quickly.

After work in the evening, she came to Prince Manor. Guided by the elf Seymour, she arrives in the Potions workshop.

Severus ......" she raised her hand and knocked on the workshop door. No sound came from it for a long time.

Just as Cynthia couldn't resist knocking again, the door to the workshop was slammed open.

"Why are you here?" Severus frowned and looked at Cynthia at the door.

"Ah, we, aren't we husband and wife......" Cynthia was startled by him.

"It's just in name, you don't have to take it seriously. If I'm not mistaken, you have a place to stay. So, get out of here, right away! With that, he slammed the door of the workshop shut.
