Before the summer vacation, Cynthia invited Severus to stay at Black's house for a month, so that the two of them could continue their research.

Severus, after inquiring about her mother, agreed to the girl's invitation.

On the day of the holiday, Kreacher arrives at Hogsmeade to pick up Cynthia, Regulus, and Severus back to Grimmauld Square.

After a familiar squeezing sensation, the group landed in the foyer of Black's old house.

Lily, who was waiting for the Hogwarts Express, saw Severus and Cynthia appear on the platform together, and her heart was full of sourness, perhaps, only with Blake's blood, Seaver would be able to see it.

"Kreacher, take Severus to clean up his room!" Cynthia gave Kleeche the order.

But during the month, something happened that broke Severus's heart.

While Erin was brewing a potion for Voldemort, an explosion occurred, killing Erin instantly, but no one knows why Erin missed.

In the early morning of July 23, Cynthia woke up to see a pale Severus stumbling down from the fourth floor.

"What's wrong, Severus? Why is your face so ugly? Cynthia followed the boy's footsteps and ran downstairs.

But Severus pursed his lips tightly, and without saying a word, he ran straight to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and sprinkled it.

"Prince Manor!" A cluster of green flames overwhelmed him, and by the time the flames were extinguished, the boy was gone.

"Father, what the hell is going on?" Cynthia hurriedly asked Mr. Black, who was following him.

"Erin, leave." Mr. Black had a sad look on his face.

After finishing speaking, he also grabbed a handful of Floo powder and left the old Black house.

Cynthia had forgotten that she was still wearing a thin nightgown and was barefoot, and she also made her way to Prince Manor through Floo Net.

When she came out of the fireplace, she looked at the low-key and luxurious hall, but saw no one. This was Cynthia's first visit to the old Prince Manor, but she didn't have time to admire the furnishings and ran out of the hall.

In the garden, there were several people in black robes, and Cynthia was no stranger to them, and she saw Bella and his wife, Lucius, and her father.

Severus knelt on a coffin, his body trembling, and Cynthia knew he was crying.

Cynthia had been standing behind them, quietly watching the boy's back, as if she had gone over to hug him, but she didn't have any valid reason.

It didn't take long for Lucius to spot her. "Thea? What are you doing here? ”

"I ......," Cynthia didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily, and the bellas left the place in an instant and appeared in the foyer.

Lucius patted Severus on the shoulder and, after getting no response, left as well.

"Thea, go back and let him be alone." Mr. Black walked over and grabbed Cynthia by the shoulder.

Cynthia didn't listen to her father's words, she broke away from her father's hand, looked at Severus, and said distressedly: "Father, you're, you let me accompany him!" Please! ”

Mr. Black looked at his daughter in a daze, this was the first time she had not listened to him since she was a child, and it was also the first time she begged him.

He looked at Cynthia, who looked pleading, sighed, handed her an umbrella, and left.

Cynthia opened her umbrella and hurried to Severus's side.

I don't know how long it took, Cynthia and Severus were already soaking wet, and the rain was running down Cynthia's hair sticking to her face.

"Severus, let's go back......" Cynthia's hoarse voice sounded.

“……”

"Severus ......"

"Get out!" The boy roared and shoved the girl away.

Cynthia fell unexpectedly to the cold ground, muddy water splashed all over her, and the palm of her hand was bleeding from the force.

"Severer ......"

"Get out! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be away from home! If I had been at home, my mother might not have had an accident! The boy interrupted her, and his cold tone was like a hand, and he grabbed Cynthia's heart so hard that she couldn't breathe in pain.

She sat on the ground and let the rain lap on her. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.

She just slowly stood up and stood behind Severus, and stayed with him like that until the moment she lost consciousness.

After some time, it was already completely dark, and Severus suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

He turned around, only to see the girl's thin body falling heavily into the mud.

He frowned, and stood up with the coffin, but he almost fell from the day's kneeling, and he stumbled over, picked up the girl, and ran into the foyer.

When Cynthia woke up again, it was already two days later.

"Water, water......" Her voice was hoarse and inhuman.

Regulus hurriedly handed her a glass of warm water, and Cynthia took it and poured it down.

"Slow down! Don't choke! Regulus said worriedly.

"Ahem, ahem!" Sure enough, Cynthia began to cough.

"Now, what time is it? What about Severus? Cynthia came to her senses and resounded what had happened before she passed out.

"Today is the twenty-fiveth, Thea. As for Severus, he was at Prince Manor. Today, it's Aunt Irene's funeral. Regulus glanced at Cynthia and spoke slowly.

Cynthia lifted the quilt when she heard this, and she was about to get up.

Regulus hurriedly pressed her to the bed, "You've just recovered!" What are you doing! Your own body, don't want it? Regulus, who had always been mild-mannered, was rarely angry.

"But, I'm just, I just want to be with him at a time like this!" Cynthia looked at Regulus dissatisfied.

"Yes, you want to! So do you think he needs it? Or rather, do you think, he needs it?! Regulus roared.

"You weren't in a coma for two days, don't you know? Cynthia! You're a Blake! You should be proud! Why are you ruining yourself over and over again because of a boy? Is it worth it? Won't we be distressed by this? ”

"I'm ......" Cynthia's eyes turned red for a moment, and along with them, her eyes that hadn't changed for a long time.

"But I like him! Me, I just like him......" Cynthia's emotions broke down, and the friendly relationship between the two of them these days made her forget one thing for a while, and that was that he didn't love her.

"Why? Why does he hate me so much? Am I not good enough? Why......" Cynthia hugged her knees and cried loudly.
