Chapter 14: The Astronomical Tower
Friday happened to be Narcissa Black's birthday, and in the afternoon, Lucius found Cynthia, who was reading in the library.
"Thea, I've finally found you!" Lucius walked over and sat down next to Cynthia.
"What's the matter, Lucius? Is there anything looking for me? It's Sicy's birthday, shouldn't you be with her? Cynthia put down the "Toadstool Encyclopedia" in her hand and looked at each other suspiciously.
"That's why I'm looking for you, Thea." He looked at the book in Cynthia's hand and frowned, "What are you reading this book for, oh my God, you're only in the first grade!" β
"Uh, I just wanted to see it. Hurry up and tell me what the hell are you looking for me to do? Cynthia stroked her blonde hair.
"Uh, yes! It's Cissy's birthday, and I have a surprise for her. Now I need you to ask Cissy out and get back to the break room at five o'clock. How about Thea, help me! Lucius blinked at his bright gray eyes.
"Alright! I'm going to date her now! Cynthia put the book back in its place and followed the boy back.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Sissy! Can you walk with me around the courtyard? I have something I want to consult you! Back in the lounge, Cynthia hugged Narcissa's arm and squeezed.
"Why go outside? The lounge is also available! Narcissa wondered.
"I just want to go outside!" Cynthia continued to be coquettish.
"Okay, okay! Let's go! Narcissa shook her head helplessly.
In Cynthia's relentless tug-and-go, time flies. It was five o'clock, Cynthia stood up, patted the dust on her robe and said, "I'm fine, let's go back!" β
Narcissa looked at her strangely and went back with a puzzled look.
As soon as she entered the lounge, Narcissa was startled by what she saw.
I saw that the lounge was full of silver ribbons and dark green balloons. And the golden hand: My dearest Sicy, happy birthday! It was Lucius Malfoy.
"Cissy, happy birthday!" Lucius stepped forward and looked at her affectionately. The crowd handed Narcissa the gifts they had prepared. After eating the cake, Cynthia hurried to the Astronomy Tower.
When she climbed up breathlessly, she found that Severus had arrived. She stared blankly at the boy's figure, which almost blended into the night sky, embellished with stars, and the thin figure was so lonely.
"You're here, Cynthia!" The boy seemed to notice the gaze behind him, turned around, and asked softly.
Caught peeking in, Cynthia's face was red and about to drip blood, "Hug, sorry, Severus, I, I'm a little late." As he spoke, his head lowered and lowered. She thought to herself, fortunately it was night, and he shouldn't have seen me blushing.
"It's okay, I've just arrived. Since you're here, shall we get started? Severus was a little excited.
"Of course! Here we go! Cynthia quickly replied.
"In fact, the most important thing to master the silent mantra is to practice! You need to familiarize yourself with the tone of the mantra and then recite it in your mind over and over again. β
"When you're familiar enough with it, you can match it with the movements in your hands, and you can combine the two in a clever way. That's it! β
"But the most important thing is to look at talent, some people can master it quickly, and some people don't. But not necessarily, as long as you practice a lot, you will definitely have no problem! β
"Severus, you can start with the simple ones, like the Levitation Charm!" Cynthia finished a long paragraph in one breath.
"Okay, I'll try this first." Severus replied earnestly.
Cynthia watched the boy in front of her practice over and over again, and at first he couldn't help but read it out loud. But then, the movements became more and more fluid, untilβthe feather used to practice floated lightly, and then landed on top of Cynthia's head in an instant.
Seeing this, the boy quickly raised his hand and took the feather off, and when his hand accidentally touched the girl's long hair, his face turned red.
At this moment, it seems as if time is forbidden. But an angry voice shattered the beauty of the moment.
"What are you guys doing!"
"Oh, Merlin! Miss Evans' opening should be the same every time! Cynthia rolled her eyes.
Severus hurriedly explained to Lily who suddenly appeared, "Lily, I just asked Cynthia about the technique of the Silent Charm. β
"Seaver, you told me you weren't feeling well and wanted to go back to your dorm room to rest. I didn't expect you to come on a date with this evil Slytherin! You've gone too far! With that, the girl ran away quickly.
"Cynthia, I ......"
"It's alright, Severus, I've given you the trick, go find Miss Evans!" Cynthia fought back her anger and pulled a forced smile at Severus.
"Thank you, Cynthia! I still want to practice with you next Friday night! With that, Severus chased after Lily in the direction she had left.
Cynthia looked at the starry sky above her head at the Astronomy Tower, but her mind remembered Severus's blushing face just now. "What's wrong with me? Why does my heart beat so fast when his hand touches my hair? Why is my face hot? Why am I so looking forward to next Friday? β
"I, what the hell am I, what's wrong?"
