Severus gently placed the girl on the couch and went to the room to get some medicine. Just as he was about to clean the girl's wounds, the girl suddenly hugged him.

Then the girl's voice, hoarse from loud shouts and long crying, sounded in his ears: "Severus, I'm scared ......"

Severus's ears turned red from the girl's embrace, and he patted the girl's back stiffly and said, "Cynthia, don't be afraid, it's all right." You... You let me go first, and I'll clean your wounds..."

Cynthia instantly let go of the hands holding Severus' neck and stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry...... Me, I'm so scared......"

Severus crouched down and gently picked open the scraped fabric, and saw that the girl's knees had become bloody and fleshy, and there were a few small stones and a few pieces of glass shards embedded in the wounds.

He took the small tweezers, carefully removed the foreign body from the wound, rinsed it with water for a while, and finally applied the medicine and wrapped it in gauze.

Cynthia grinned in pain, but she didn't scream, just bit her lip tightly.

Immediately, Severus grabbed her hand again. Cynthia's face turned red instantly, and she suddenly pulled out her hand and said, "You, you, what are you doing!" ”

Severus was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" I'm going to wash your wounds and give me your hands. ”

"Ah......h

After wrapping his hands, Severus rubbed some medicine on Cynthia's face.

Erin looked at the two children outside the window, narrowed her eyes, and saw that after Severus had finished treating the girl's wounds, she pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Cynthia immediately got up and saluted Erin: "Good evening, ma'am!" Thank you so much for tonight's event! I'll explain to my parents when I go back, and we'll come to thank you! ”

"You're welcome, Miss Black!" Erin smiled slightly. "You still have a wound on your leg, let's sit down first!"

"Yes, ma'am." Cynthia nodded.

"I wonder how Miss Black is here?" Erin looked at the girl suspiciously.

"I'm here for Severus! I would like to invite him to our family's Christmas dinner tomorrow night as my dance partner! Cynthia quickly explained.

"Dance partner?" Severus' mouth opened in disbelief when he heard this.

"Yes, my brothers and sisters have dance partners, but I don't, so I'm coming to you!" Cynthia said quickly.

"I'm sorry, Cynthia. I can't be your dance partner. Severus shook his head.

"Why?"

“…… Because I ......"

Severus could finish his sentence when his mother interrupted him. "Miss Black, Seaver will be your dance partner!"

"Mommy......" Severus looked at his mother.

"Silver, go, as the heir to House Prince." Erin looked at her son.

“…… All right...... But I don't have a dress, and I can't dance......" Severus compromised.

"That's not a problem! Otherwise, ma'am. I'll take Severus over tonight and make him one overnight, and I'll teach him how to dance!" Cynthia offered her thoughts to Erin.

Erin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Black!" ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, Severus is a good friend of mine!" The smile on Cynthia's face was very bright.

"It's getting late, ma'am, and I'll take Severus with me first! Visit you another day! Cynthia looked at her watch.

"Okay, let's go!" Erin nodded.

Pushing open the door, Ona was standing respectfully at the door: "Little master, will we go back to the manor now?" ”

"Hmm." Cynthia replied softly.

"Severus, hold my hand!" Cynthia turned to the boy.

Severus listened and grabbed the girl's arm. "Your hand hurts, have you forgotten?"

"Uh, I ......" her words disappeared in the way of the apparition.

In the blink of an eye, they stepped on the carpet in the small living room on the second floor of the Black Manor.

"Thea, you're finally back!" Siris's voice rang out instantly. "Nose, snot? Why are you here too? Get out of here, you're not welcome in our house! ”

"All right, Siris! Severus is my dance partner! Cynthia's little face sank suddenly.

"What's wrong with you? Thea, why are you so embarrassed? What's going on? Regulus noticed his sister's messy hair and tattered clothes.

"I met a couple of Muggles tonight and was bullied, but luckily Severus arrived just in time!" Cynthia scratched her head. "Fortunately, it's nothing, it's just a broken skin, you don't have to worry!"

"By the way, I'll take Severus to Daddy first!" With that, Cynthia took Severus' hand and walked to Orion's study.

"Knock knock!" Cynthia knocked on the door.

"Enter!" Mr. Black's voice rang out from within.

Cynthia pushed open the door and pulled Severus inside.

"Father! I've found a dance partner! Cynthia said happily.

Orion looked up and down at the boy beside her daughter, frowning at the sight of his shabby clothes. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw the gauze on his daughter's body and the fingerprints on her face.

They stood up and said, "Thea, what's wrong with you?" How did this happen? ”

"Father, I met a couple of Muggles tonight, and they made them, but luckily Severus and his mother showed up in time to save me and bandage my wounds. It's okay now, and I'll be fine with a good night's sleep! ”

"Oh?" Orion sat down slowly, looked at the boy, frowned, and said, "Are you?" ”

"Good evening, Mr. Black. I'm Severus Snape. Severus said.

"Snape?" Orion furrowed his eyebrows again. In his mind, there was no such thing as Snape.

Severus saw the man's furrowed eyebrows and said, "My mother is Erin Prince. ”

"Erin?! Are you Erin's son? O'Lane stood up excitedly.

"Yes, sir." Severus was a little surprised by the man's performance.

"She was a level younger than me, the last of the Prince family, a great potion finisher, but ended up marrying a Muggle and never heard from her again." Orion said lightly.

"Father, do you know Mrs. Snape?" Cynthia asked, confused.

"That's right, yes, she and your mother are both members of the Tall Stones Club, and they have a good relationship. I think it's time for me to visit her, with your mother! O'Lane nodded.

"Okay, Thea, you bring it first, well......"

"Severus! Father! ”

"Oh, yes, you take Severus to order the dress first, I'll go find your mother, and we'll go see Erin together." He turned to Severus again. "By the way, kid, where is your home?"

"Uh, 19 Spider Tail Lane, sir." Severus said.

"Oh, okay. Then go back first, and we'll see you tomorrow!" O'Lane nodded.

"Yes, father."

"Goodbye, sir."
