In the afternoon, during afternoon tea, Cynthia took the opportunity to bring up the matter of letting Harry and Orion stay overnight, and everyone happily agreed to Cynthia's proposal.

After dinner, Harry and Orion stayed at Malfoy Manor.

Late at night, Draco got dressed and slipped out of the room, outside Harry's room, and knocked softly on the door.

"Harry, are you still awake?" Draco lowered his voice.

A moment later, Harry, dressed himself, poked out of the door. "Hey! Draco, let's go find Orion! ”

The two little ones knocked on Orion's door again, and the three of them tiptoed onto the terrace.

Draco looked up, took his direction, pointed to a constellation in the northern sky, and exclaimed, "Harry, Orion!" That's Draco! ”

The other two looked in the direction of Draco's finger and saw a constellation shaped like a dragon hovering in the quiet night sky.

"That's Draco in the sky, I'm Draco on the earth, if I'm not by your side in the future, you miss me, just look up at Draco in the sky!" Draco whispered.

"But it's better to come to me......" he added with a slight blush.

Even though it was summer, the late-night wind blew three people to sneeze.

They had no choice but to sneak back to their respective rooms. Before Harry closed the door, he whispered, "Good night, Draco." ”

"Good night, Harry." Draco paused, turned around, and smiled in response.

Time fast-forwarding......

In the blink of an eye, five years passed quietly.

The antidote to the reaction of the formation has still not been made, but they have found another solution, which is to completely kill the person who caused the reaction of the formation, that is, Voldemort.

But five years later, they still haven't heard anything about Voldemort's resurrection, which has put a bottleneck in getting rid of Voldemort.

Five years later, Cynthia and Severus were once again back to the days when they used to call each other by their names.

Severus had recently felt that the way Cynthia looked at him seemed to have changed slightly. There was complexity and disbelief in those eyes.

Severus couldn't help but wonder that maybe Cynthia had regained some of her memories......

As he thought, Cynthia did remember something.

Cynthia has been dreaming lately, in which she and Severus meet in her eleven-year-old, Hogwarts Express carriage.

She dreamed that they met at the Astronomy Tower every Friday night to practice silent spells and wandless magic together.

She dreamed that she would be red-faced and her heart pounding from Severus' inadvertent touch.

She dreamed of herself being injured in a Quidditch match, and Severus couldn't stop crying because of her neglect.

She dreamed that she would be thrilled by an apple pie that Severus had brought her.

She dreamed that Severus, who stood up when she was being bullied by a Muggle youth, bandaged Severus who had medicated her.

She dreamed of their first and only dance.

She dreamed of herself crying because of Severus's alienation. I dreamed that she was depressed because Severus and Lily were together.

She dreamed of herself being bitten in Lupin's werewolf form in front of Severus and Lily.

She dreamed that Severus, because of the unexpected death of her mother, looked at her with hatred on her face.

In the dream, that self, love Severus fell in love with him, and that self was willing to do anything for him.

But no matter what she did, she was never in his eyes.

At the end of the dream, she had Severus' child, and the answer Severus gave her was a cold Blade.

Cynthia couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream, so she made up her mind and asked Siris.

"Siris, I have something to ask you." Cynthia sat across from Siris.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"About my lost memories."

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, the teacup in Cialis's hand fell on the table and turned into pieces. "You...... How many do you remember? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I remember them all, Siris." Cynthia looked at the pale Ciris with complicated eyes.

“…… I'm sorry, Thea. We did deceive you. The children are Severus Snape's, and the person you love is him, not Barty. Siris closed his eyes and told the truth of the matter.

“…… I, we just don't want you to get hurt again, Thea. Those memories are very bad for you, so I lied to you. ”

“…… I understand, Siris. I...... I don't blame you. I've loved him for so long, and I should let go, shouldn't I? Barty was very good to me, and I slowly accepted him, and he would be a good father and husband, right? Cynthia took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.

“…… Thea ......" Cialis looked at Cynthia with a painful face, and only felt extremely heartache.

"If you don't love, you don't love, and I know very well that he doesn't love me. So, so be it...... This may be the best ending between us......" Cynthia stood up, wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and left the study.

……………………………………

"Thea ......" After little Barty knew that Cynthia had recovered her memory, he found Cynthia in a daze in the Astronomy Tower in a nervous mood.

"Barty? What are you doing here? Cynthia turned and looked at Barty Jr. with a smile on her lips.

"I'm sorry...... I lied to you. ”

“…… I don't blame you, Barty. I want to thank you instead. Thank you for taking care of me and my children over the years, and thank you for always being by my side for so many years. Cynthia stepped forward and hugged little Barty. Are you still willing to stay with me? ”

“…… I do, Thea! Of course I'm willing to continue to accompany you, I'm just afraid that you won't want to ......," Barty said excitedly.

“…… Let's get married. Cynthia buried her face in little Barty's arms and said in a muffled voice.

“？？！ You, what do you say? Little Barty couldn't believe his ears.

"I mean, I know he doesn't love me, I know I'm done with him...... So, are you still willing to marry me? Cynthia looked up and looked at little Barty quietly.

"I do, Thea! I never dreamed of marrying you! Little Barty pulled Cynthia back into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I'll go back tonight and tell my father and mother that I'm going to give you a big wedding! I want you to be the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world! ”

Severus was at the other end of the tower, and he heard every word Cynthia say, and when he heard Cynthia say that it was over between them, it was like someone had pinched his neck, and he couldn't breathe.
