Cynthia didn't go to the library, she came to the Black Lake.

She threw the book on the ground and lay down herself. She felt that something was wrong with her lately, she was getting more and more irritable, and she couldn't control her emotions well.

She tried to numb herself with a way to keep herself busy, but it didn't seem to work very well.

She would always think of Severus unconsciously, of the two of them getting along, of Severus who saved her that day, and of Severus who danced with her......

………………………………………

Time flies, and Christmas is quietly approaching before you know it.

This Christmas is a Christmas that every Blake must attend. Because, Bellatrix Black and Rodolphus Lestrange are getting married.

Cynthia prepared her usual Christmas presents for everyone before leaving the school, and she gave Severus a woolen felt hat.

The four siblings returned to Black Manor in the family carriage as usual.

They were greeted by what looked like the bride-to-be, Bellatrix, who didn't seem happy.

But no one opened their mouths to ask. Back in the living room, and after greeting the elders, Mr. Black led them to the study.

"The day after tomorrow is Bella's wedding, as the juniors of the Black family, you must pay attention to your etiquette and don't let others see the jokes! Also, tomorrow there will be an adult in the house, all of whom will follow the rules, especially you, Siris! Mr. Black said sternly.

"My lord? What an adult, father. Cynthia said puzzled.

"You should know that now, there are more and more hemp wizards, and we pure-blood nobles are repeatedly despised by them. The nobility is weakening, and this poses a great threat to us, and that is that the pure-bloods may disappear completely. ”

"And now, it is this Lord who will lead all the pure-blood nobles to protect our interests. He himself was a descendant of the great Lord Slytherin, and Bella's marriage was appointed by him. Bella has already met this adult, he is powerful and charismatic! So you have to behave well tomorrow! When Mr. Black spoke of this adult, his face was filled with great respect and adoration.

"Father, are you talking about the notorious Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort?" Cialis asked, frowning.

"Bold! Siris! How can you say that about the master! He is the greatest wizard of all! Mr. Black stood up and looked at Siris angrily.

"Am I wrong? He kills innocents indiscriminately, discriminates against Muggles, looks down on hemp wizards, and only thinks pureblood is supreme, am I wrong about anything? Cialis raised his chin and glared at his father, not to be outdone.

"Smack!" Orion Black was furious and slapped Cyris in the face.

Siris stared at his father viciously, turned and slammed the door and walked away.

Cynthia also frowned slightly, thinking that this adult seemed a bit extreme, but then she thought about the prejudice and dislike of the ordinary wizards in the school, which made her think that the adult was doing the right thing.

Cyris packed his belongings and prepared to leave the disgusting place, when he ran into Cynthia, who had come looking for him.

"Thea, you approve of your brother, don't you? That man is an evil dark wizard, and we can't follow him! Cialis wanted to hear a positive answer from Cynthia, because he knew that Cynthia had been a kind child since she was a child, but he was disappointed.

"Siris, it is undeniable that those wizards of ordinary blood do discriminate against us pure-bloods. In their eyes, we are evil! I think that Lord is right, and we should unite to defend our interests! And to achieve this, to kill people, is essential. Cynthia said lightly, with no interesting expression on her face.

Ciris felt that he didn't know this sister a little anymore, and she became more and more like her parents, cold, ruthless, and extreme. He was disappointed, he had always thought that although Cynthia was in Slytherin, she was a person who could see clearly, a person who was not so extreme. But he was wrong, it turned out that Cynthia and her father were the same.

He glanced at Cynthia in disappointment, picked up the suitcase, and turned to leave.

"Where are you going, Siris?" Cynthia stopped him.

"Don't worry about it!" Siris said in a cold tone, pushing Cynthia away and leaving.

Cynthia looked at Siris's back and couldn't understand why Siris didn't think so.

That night, Siris' seat was vacant. Mr. Black was so angry that he said that he would have to beat him up when Siris returned.

The next day, Cynthia woke up early in the morning. She went to her father's study to find a book to read. But I didn't expect to bump into a person when I came out of the study.

"I'm sorry, sir! I, I'm sorry I didn't see you coming! Cynthia didn't bother to pick up the book that had fallen on the ground, and quickly apologized to the man.

"Those Unknown Magic Arrays? You want to read this book? The man picked up Cynthia's book and asked in surprise.

"Ah, yes, sir, yes, what's the problem?" Cynthia was a little confused.

"Oh, master, here you are!" Mr. Black hurried over. "What's going on? Thea, apologize to the adults! ”

The man waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, Orion! She's already apologized to me! Is this, your kids? ”

"Yes, master, this is my daughter, Cynthia Black. I am in my second year at Slytherin House at Hogwarts this year. Mr. Black said respectfully.

"Second grade? Can you read this book, Cynthia? The man raised an eyebrow and looked at Cynthia to the side.

"Of course! Sir, I'm pretty good at the magic array. Cynthia already knew the identity of the person in front of her.

"I'm interested in you, Cynthia. Can I talk to you? Although the man was asking, his tone was not refusal.

"My pleasure!" Cynthia nodded excitedly. She knew from her father's description last night that this lord was a knowledgeable and powerful man, and that she would definitely benefit greatly from talking to him.

The three of them walked into the study, and Orion watched as his master and daughter began to have a close conversation.

He watched his master's expression gradually change from curiosity to surprise, and he knew that his master admired his daughter, which made him a little proud.

"Cynthia, you're really surprising to me, it's really nice that a second-year student can improve the formation!" Voldemort said in surprise, he had never seen a person as gifted as the girl in front of him, and if he could recruit her, it would be a capable subordinate!

"You're wrong, sir." Cynthia's little blushed slightly.

"O'Lane, you've really raised a good daughter." Voldemort turned to O'Lane and nodded.

"Cynthia, I'd like to ask you what you think of the dark arts." Voldemort's eyes narrowed.

"Dark magic? Sir, I think that black magic is powerful and I am not rejecting it, I am also interested in it. Cynthia was surprised by the other party's question.

"Well, maybe you can use this book." After listening to the girl's answer, Voldemort took out a copy of "Dark Arts Revealed" from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Cynthia excitedly took the book.

"I think with your understanding, the content of this book should not be difficult for you. Okay, girl. Go back, I have something to say to your father!" ”

"Goodbye, sir!" Cynthia happily walked out of her father's study.

"She's, she's really good, O'Lane." Voldemort looked at Orion, who was standing aside.

"I'm sure Thea will be willing to serve you!" O'Lane said respectfully.

"Alright, now let's get down to business."
