The lights came on and elegant music permeated the scene. The lights turned into pale yellow beams, and everyone in the room looked at the young men and women in the center of the dance floor.

Severus's breathing became rapid, his palms began to sweat, and he squeezed Cynthia's small hand tightly.

"Hey, Severus, don't be nervous and relax, just like we practice." Cynthia looked at the boy in front of her, but her little face was a little hot.

Merlin, why did Severus hold on so tightly!

The two of them began to dance to the music, but the boy's steps were still slightly stiff.

Cynthia, on the other hand, enjoyed dancing with Severus. A sapphire necklace perfectly complements her slender snow-white neck.

Her skirt began to fly, and the sky-colored skirt brought out a blue shadow in the light and shadow, glowing brightly.

The skirt is heavy, and the sense of suspense brings out a three-dimensional effect, revealing a small piece of snow-white legs, which is covered by the falling skirt before you can see it clearly, leaving people to think about how much to recall and how much to recall.

Her waist is straight, and she is a different kind of pretty. The heel of the shoe taps lightly, like a dragonfly skimming water, and gently caresses it like that, while the toe of the shoe supports the ground, and arcs are drawn left and right, one by one, in circles.

Severus took her hand tightly and led her around in circles. He looked at the girl dancing in front of him, but thought to himself, how nice it would be if the person dancing with him at this time was Lily.

Barty Crouch Jr. stared closely at the two dancing, his eyes full of jealousy. Why, why is Cynthia's dance partner Severus Snape, the half-blood? The person dancing with her at this time should be him Barty Crouch!

He looked at his father, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Big Barty Crouch. He thought for a moment and walked over and said, "Father, what do you think of the little daughter of the Black family?" ”

Big Crouch looked at his son, then at the dancing girl in the room, and said, "Very good, very good girl, isn't it?" ”

"So, can we consider a family marriage?" Barty Jr. spoke his mind.

"Well, that's a good choice, I can talk to O'Lane. You like that girl, don't you? Big Crouch thought for a moment.

Little Barty's face was slightly red, and he nodded and said, "Yes, father." ”

Big Crouch walked over to Orion Black, who was chatting with Abraxas, "Good evening, O'Lane, Abu. Hope I didn't bother you! ”

"Of course not, Barty!" Mr. Black shook his head.

"O'Lane, I think we might be able to marry again."

"Oh? How so? Mr. Black asked, confused.

"My son, I like your little daughter very much, Cynthia. Maybe you could consider it? ”

"Cynthia? She's young, and it's too early for her. And I still hope that she can marry someone she likes. However, if you want to get married, I think the Crouch family would be a good choice! O'Lane looked at her little daughter, her eyes full of pampering and love.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I just want to ask!" Mr. Grand Crouch patted Mr. Black on the shoulder. "I have to say, she's really good!"

"Of course!" Mr. Black raised his chin proudly, "She's the little princess of our Black family!" ”

As the first piece ended, everyone in attendance slid onto the dance floor with their dance partners to prepare for the second dance of the night.

After Cynthia and Severus finished their first dance, they left the dance floor and came to the side. Cynthia sat down in her chair and took a small piece of cake. "I'm so hungry, let me eat something first! Severus, eat some first, this is our dinner tonight! ”

"yes, okay." Severus sat next to Cynthia and drank some pumpkin juice. I couldn't help but wonder what Lily was doing tonight, whether she missed me.

Little Barty walked up to the girl sitting in the chair, stretched out his hand to her, and said softly, "This beautiful young lady, may I invite you to a dance?" ”

Cynthia hurriedly swallowed the cake in her mouth, put her hand on it and said, "Of course you can!" Then he walked onto the dance floor with little Barty.

Little Barty hugged the girl's slender waist, and there was a kind of indescribable satisfaction in his heart, and the two of them cooperated very well. Little Barty looked at the girl's beautiful face and said softly, "You are really beautiful tonight, Cynthia!" ”

"Thank you, Barty, you're nice too! This outfit goes well with you! Cynthia smiled slightly.

After a dance, the two of them went back to where they were, and Severus was still sitting there, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go outside, Severus!" Cynthia made an invitation to the boy.

"No need, Cynthia. I want to go back to my room and rest for a while, I'm a little tired. Severus declined her invitation.

"Okay, then you go up." The girl bowed her head in frustration. "Merry Christmas, Severus!"

"Merry Christmas. Cynthia. The boy turned and left.

"Thea, come here!" Mr. Black suddenly appeared and beckoned to her.

"Father, what's wrong?" Cynthia hurried over.

"What about Severus? How didn't I see him. Mr. Black looked around.

"Oh, he said he was a little tired, so he went back to his room to rest first." Cynthia said in frustration.

"Thea, what do you think of the Crouch family proposing to marry us?"

"Marriage? Who's with whom? Cynthia was a little confused.

"You and Barty Crouch Jr."

"Me?" Cynthia couldn't believe her father's words, "Well, it's a little too early!" Father, I'm only eleven years old! ”

"It's a bit early, but when you're growing up and need to get married, little Barty might be a good choice, what do you think?"

"I'm ......," Cynthia listened to her father's words, but Severus's face came to mind. Father, I don't want to ......"

"It's okay, Thea. If you don't want to, forget it, Mom and Dad want you to be happy forever. Mr. Black touched his daughter's blonde hair dotingly.

"Alright, go get something to eat, I'm sure you're hungry!" Mr. Black said.

"Yes, Father!" Cynthia nodded and quickly walked away.

"Barty, I think I'm sorry, Thea she's not very willing, so ......," Mr. Black said apologetically to Mr. Crouch.

"It's nothing, O'Lane. Who can say what will happen in the future, maybe I will be willing in the future! Mr. Grand Crouch said with a smile.

"Of course, I don't think it will affect our friendship!"

"Of course!"

When Barty Jr. heard his father tell him that Cynthia seemed reluctant to marry, his heart ached as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he immediately thought of his roommate, Severus Snape. Cynthia seemed to like him very much. Damn, wait until you get back to school, you have to make him look good! Barty Jr. clenched his fists.
