The Christmas holidays are over before you know it, and Cynthia and her party board the Hogwarts Express on their way back.

As before, as soon as they reached the ninth and three-quarters of the way up, Siris left them to find Jaime and the others.

Cynthia, Narcissa, and Regulus arrived at the Blake family's exclusive compartment on the car.

Barty Jr. found Severus, who was sitting with Lily, in a section of the carriage.

"Snape, I warn you, Cynthia is not something of your kind to think of. She can't be with you, you don't deserve her, she will only be mine in the end! Little Barty lifted his chin and looked at the boy in front of him with contempt.

"I think you're a good match for this Gryffindor mudblood! Hahahaha......" His laughter stopped abruptly and a fist landed in his face.

Severus looked at little Barty with a dark face and said, "Apologize to her!" ”

"How dare you hit me? Apologize? There are no doors! With that, the two men scuffled together. But little Barty was better in the end, and he rode on Severus, grabbed Severus by the collar with one hand, and pointed at him with a wand in the other, and said, "You, have a good relationship with your mudbloods, and don't come to pester Cynthia!" Densaugeo! ”

"Pestering Cynthia? Are you talking about that first-year Slytherin? How could Severus go and pester that evil dark wizard? You've thought too much! Lily stood up awkwardly.

"You hurt someone and you want to leave? There can be no such good thing in the world! Leg stiffness and death (Locomotor Mordis)! ”

Little Barty quickly dodged, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he threw a spell with his backhand: "Diffindo!" ”

Severus instantly stood in front of Lily. The spell struck his right arm, shattering his clothes, and blood stains appeared on it.

Seeing this, Barty Jr. hurriedly left the private room. "Seaver!" Lily hurriedly helped Severus and looked at the boy with a worried expression.

Severus's ears were red from his intimate contact with Lily, and he stammered, "I, I'm fine, Lily!" Just go back to Madam Pomfrey and get some medicine. Don't worry, it's really fine. ”

Lily carefully helped the boy to his seat, still worried.

"I'd better wrap it up for you, Seaver, you can't refuse!" With that, she took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped it around Severus's injured arm.

“…… Thank you, thank you Lily......" The boy's face turned red, and from time to time he quietly raised his eyes to look at the beautiful girl beside him. It would be nice to be with Lily for the rest of his life, he thought to himself.

Lily just thought it was funny when she saw Severus looking at her sneakingly, and thought that Severus looked so silly. She's not going to let such a good Seaver be in the league with those evil Slytherins! The girl secretly made up her mind in her heart.

In this way, the two of them arrived at Hogwarts with their own things in mind. Riding in an unmanned carriage, I returned to the castle covered in snow.

The two men parted at the door of the hall and went to their respective long tables.

"Hey, Severus, here!" Severus heard Cynthia's voice as soon as he walked over.

As he looked over, Lucius spoke, too, "Severus, come here." His tone could not be rejected by Severus. He had no choice but to sit down beside Cynthia.

Before he could sit down, he felt a jealous look from little Barty.

"What's wrong with your arm, Severus?" Cynthia saw the blood-stained handkerchief on his right arm.

"Nothing, Cynthia. If you accidentally break it, don't worry. Severus replied with a slight detachment.

"I feel like we can end our Friday night practice because I don't think it's useful, it's just a waste of time, so let's end it here!" He thought for a moment and spoke.

"Huh? Oh...... All right. Cynthia was a little sad, she felt that Severus was starting to become a little cold to her again, which made her a little confused. They danced together at Christmas, but why is it like this now?

She was a little blocked, poked the salad in front of her, put down the fork, said that she was a little uncomfortable and went back to the bedroom.

She lay in bed and thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of any reason to convince herself.

Since then, Severus has been spending her days with Lily, eating, attending classes, and studying. He began to avoid Cynthia, and even when he did, he only nodded coldly.

This kept Cynthia in a low mood, and even blew up a cauldron during a Potions class.

"Miss Black, what's wrong with you these days? I've been absent-minded in class, and every night this week at seven o'clock in the evening, my office, confined! Professor Slughorn stared at her and gave the girl a week's confinement.

"I'm sorry, Professor." The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at the angry dean.

"What's wrong with you, Cynthia? Did something happen? Her new partner, Guy Avery, asked her quietly.

Ever since Elsa and Regulus were teamed up, Cynthia had changed partners.

"I'm fine, Guy, it's just a little thing." Cynthia shook her head and whispered.

After dinner, Siris took her to the Black Lagoon. He asked anxiously: "Thea, what's wrong with you lately, I heard Regulus say that you blew up the cauldron this afternoon, what happened, tell my brother." ”

Cynthia looked up at her anxious brother, her eyes suddenly soured, and a teardrop fell.

"What's wrong, Thea? Whoever bullied you, tell me I'm going to beat him! Don't cry. Siris was a little overwhelmed when she saw her sister's tears.

"Cialis, Severus he ignored me, I, I don't know what I did wrong...... He, he ignored me. Cynthia threw herself into her brother's arms, sobbing and complaining about her troubles.

Cyris was happy when he heard Severus ignore Cynthia, for he didn't like snot at all. But seeing his sister so sad, he felt very angry.

Although he didn't like Snot to be with Cynthia, he didn't want to see Cynthia sad. This made him a little helpless, so he had to slowly pat the girl's back and comfort: "It's okay Thea, we Thea deserve better!" There are so many excellent boys in the world, and Thea doesn't have to be him, right? ”

When Cynthia heard this, she raised her head and said, "You, what are you talking about, I, me and him, I and him are just friends!" She gave her brother a gentle slap.

"We Thea have a lot of friends, and we don't miss one of them! You can't afford to let him miss your homework, and don't let everyone worry about you. Siris lovingly touched her sister's blonde hair.

"I see, brother. Sorry for worrying you. Me, I'll regulate my emotions. Cynthia sniffed.

"Alright, Thea, it's not too early. Let's go back, it's still cold outside. Siris rubbed his arm.

"Hmm!" Cynthia nodded vigorously and pulled her brother back to the castle.
