Chapter 55: The Curse

On the way back, Cynthia meets Regulus, who is chasing her.

"What are you doing, Thea? Come with me to the Medical Wing! Regulus breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was intact.

“…… Rael, if the person he met first was me, would he love me? Cynthia spoke, trembling. Would he like me if it weren't for Lily Evans? ”

Regulus didn't know how to answer this question, because he knew that if would always be if.

"Why don't you speak...... Rael, tell me, if ......" Cynthia had cried.

"Thea, you know, none of that is true." Regulus interrupted Cynthia's questioning. "Don't think about that, come with me to the medical wing first."

"Why, why does she still dislike me after all these years? Why......" Cynthia slowly squatted down, tears instantly rushing out of her eyes.

Regulus looked at Cynthia, who was crying sadly, and gently wrapped her in his arms and hugged her. "Thea, it's impossible for him and Lily anymore, I think he'll see your good."

After saying that, he took the girl to the medical wing.

After Madam Pomfrey's examination, she said that there was nothing serious, but that her body was bruised by a Bludger, and that it would be good to rub some potion to reduce the swelling. She didn't notice the hidden formation that Cynthia had drawn on her left arm, and therefore the Dark Mark either.

Regulus took the potion and went back to the cellar with Cynthia in his arms.

And their conversation was clearly heard by little Barty, who was worried about Cynthia.

After the match, Barty Jr. noticed that Cynthia was chasing Severus, and he hurried to follow, but he was a few steps behind Regulus.

When he heard Cynthia's questions, his heart was full of sourness and crazy jealousy.

Obviously he and Cynthia knew each other earlier, why did she like that gloomy Snape?

But they all forgot one problem, in love, there is no first come, first come.

Little Barty, carried away by jealousy, just wanted to teach the damn Snape a hard lesson at the moment.

He remembered that there was a curse formation in a book at home that could curse a person for never getting anything they wanted, including their lover.

Thinking of this, he clenched the wand in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sinister smile.

………………………………………

Regulus gave Cynthia and the potions to Elsa and instructed her to help Cynthia rub the potions.

Elsa looked at Cynthia, who was pale and teary-stained in the corners of her eyes, and carefully took off her Quidditch jersey.

The redness, swelling and bruising on the snow-like skin are very dazzling. Elsa picked up the ointment and gently applied it to the marks. When she touched Cynthia's scar, the girl gasped in pain.

"Al, tap ......" Cynthia frowned.

"I thought you wouldn't say a word to me!" Elsa gave her a white look, and her hand lightened.

"Thank you, Al." Cynthia held back the pain, "I really envy you and Rael, so affectionate, unlike my ......"

Hearing her say this, Elsa instantly understood the reason for her previous abnormality. "Thea, trust me, you will be happy!"

"Today he told me that he had loved Lily for eleven years and that they had known each other since they were nine years old...... I knew why he liked her so much. Cynthia's eyes were open and she stared blankly at the big octopus in the black lake outside the window.

"Lily was with him during his gloomy childhood, and that's the difference between me and her. I envy her, but I thank her too. Envy that she can get Severus's hot love, and thank her for giving him a warm childhood. ”

"She agreed to Potter's proposal, and I was both happy and sad. Happily, no one is robbing Severus of me anymore, but I will be sad for his broken heart. ”

"Surely you haven't seen his tears, Al. I've seen it, more than once. One time was because of Aunt Irene's death, and the other times because of Lily. ”

"Only when he cries, he is willing to talk to me well, but what he says is what makes my heart ache, and every sentence is inseparable from Lily."

"I know he doesn't love me, he has Lily Evans all in his heart, but, Al, I can't help myself, and in six years my feelings for him have not diminished, but have intensified. When do you think he will have me in his eyes? ”

Thea ...... Yes, there will be a day! Elsa looked at her friend and could only ask Merlin to bless her.

………………………………………

These days, Cynthia has noticed that Severus is shrouded in a gray light of a curse that is almost imperceptible.

She frowned, who was it that actually cursed the school?

Then she noticed Barty Jr.'s sinister look at Severus.

In the evening, Cynthia took Barty to the Astronomy Tower.

"Thea, what's wrong?" Barty Jr. looked confused.

"Did you put a curse on Severus?" Cynthia asked.

"I ......"

"Tell me the truth, aren't you?!"

"It's me! I just can't get used to him! How many times have you rejected me because of him? But what about him, it will only make you sad and sad! Little Barty couldn't hide it from Cynthia, so he simply admitted it generously.

"Barty, you...... Can this curse be broken? Cynthia looked at Barty Jr. in disappointment.

“…… There is ......," Barty said reluctantly, "I need to draw the reverse formation of this cursed formation, but it's too complicated for me to draw it." ”

"Give me the picture and I'll see it."

"I'll go to the dorm and get it." Barty Jr. nodded.

Back in the cellar, Barty Jr. took the formation map out of the bedroom and handed it to Cynthia.

Four days later, Cynthia found Barty Jr., told him that she had studied the formation thoroughly, and decided to hide in their dormitory at night and draw it while Severus fell asleep.

After eating, Cynthia hid in little Barty's closet, waiting for the night to come.

It didn't take long for Cynthia's legs to become completely numb before Barty Jr. opened the closet door.

Cynthia crept out and stood beside Severus's bed.

She resisted the urge to touch his cheek, pulled out her wand, and slowly drew the formation.

Just when the formation was just succeeding, the magic power fluctuation woke up the man in his dream.

Severus opened his eyes, sat up sharply from the bed, and grabbed Cynthia by the neck.

"Cursed? What the hell do you want to do?! Severus's icy voice rang in Cynthia's ears.

"Let her go, Snape! She's here to lift the curse on you! Seeing this, Barty Jr. immediately pounced.

But Severus tied him to the side with a bondage spell.

Cynthia only felt that her neck was about to be broken, and she was gradually unable to breathe.

Severus watched as the girl in his hand faded away, his eyes turned gloomy, and just as the last glimmer of light was about to fade, he let go of his hand.

Cynthia fell to the ground and began to cough violently.

"You're such a vicious person, why do you want to curse me that I will never get Lily?" The man stood in front of the girl, leaned down and pinched the girl's chin. "Don't bother, she doesn't belong to me anymore."
