At the ball, the professor was allowed to dance with the students, in fact, even Professor McGonagall danced with a tall but somewhat shy looking boy in their house, not to mention the popular Professor Dumbledore, who barely stopped, and experienced dancing one after another, and a very beautiful girl danced with almost all the male professors.

But none of this is as surprising as Snape and Sally, when they step on the beat and enter the dance floor, almost all eyes fall on the two, they have no eye contact, and even their expressions are pitiful, but many people do not feel a sense of disobedience from them, before this, no one could have imagined the way Professor Snape danced, but now, people found that his dance steps were skillful and elegant. Gradually, by the time the song was about to end, there were only the two of them left on the dance floor.

At the end of the song, Dumbledore was the first to applaud, then applause, and after a short break, another song sounded, and Snape left the Great Hall, and after a while, Sally was gone.

No one knew about their relationship, maybe curious, maybe surprised, but didn't think in the direction of love, Dumbledore still smiled and danced with every professor or student who invited him, only he knew, what Sally meant to Snape, and only he could see what Sally looked at Snape, and Sally's eyes when she looked at Snape were never the eyes of an elder or a teacher.

In Snape's office, Sally sat next to Snape, holding her cheeks, and did not shy away from looking at Professor Snape, who at least appeared to be a serious reader.

"You're going to see when. Snape was the first to speak, as if his principles and persistence had never been worth talking about in front of the girl.

"Until I see you take the initiative to take care of me. Sally finally changed her position and smiled, "Sir, am I not pretty tonight?"

"You don't need an answer from me, you know. You've got the attention of all the boys and men in the school. Snape said in a flat tone.

"Including you, sir?"

Snape put down the book and looked at Sally, he couldn't deny that her beauty was moving, in his heart, Lily's beauty was generous and elegant, and the elf in front of him was full of agility and charm. "What's wrong with you?"

"Something clear, sir. Sally conjured two glasses of champagne out of thin air, one and handed it to Snape. "For the sake of me leaving the day after tomorrow, can we talk about something happy?"

Snape looked at her for a moment, then took the champagne and stood up, "Happy thing, see how you're doing in your Potions class?"

Sally almost squirted the champagne she had just drunk into her mouth, but she swallowed it hard and looked at Snape complainingly. "It's something you're happy about, but it's not something I'm happy about. ”

Snape turned his back to her, a semblance of a smile on his lips.

"Did you pass the OWLS test?"

"NEWTS HAVE PASSED ALL THE SIR EXAMS, AND I HAVE ALSO LEARNED SHAPESHIFTING AND ANIMAGUS. Sally said with some pride, "I can become a Tibetan antelope." ”

"Not bad. Snape said with satisfaction. "It seems that you have lived a fulfilling life, why didn't you come back last year?"

“。。。。 Sally took a sip of champagne to hide the panic in her eyes, and then smiled, "The course is intense, you know, NEWTS is not so easy to test." ”

Snape looked at her, knowing she was lying, but he didn't press it.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?"

"Hmmm... Sally thought for a moment, "Can you do whatever you want?"

"It's not. Snape said dryly, and Sally stuck out her tongue. "I want to stay with you. ”

"I'm going to improve the invisibility potion tomorrow. Snape said, "You're going to stay in my office for a day?"

"Yes. Sally said happily.

“。。。。 Whatever you want. There was a hint of helplessness in Snape's tone. The clock struck eleven times, and it seemed to be eleven o'clock in the evening.

"It's time for you to go back to your dorm. Snape said, and ordered the eviction.

"Alas. Sally put the champagne on the table, jumped off the stool, and said, "Don't you have a bed in the dark?" ”

"That's my bed. Snape said word for word.

"Stingy... Sally grumbled. "Then I'll come back to you tomorrow when I wake up. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave,

"Wait a minute. Sally turned, and a gift flew into her hand, and she subconsciously caught it.

"This is ... Sally looked at the wrapped gift in her hand and said in surprise, "Christmas gift?"

"It's time for you to go back to your dorm. Snape said.

Sally looked at the package in her hand, suddenly ran over and hugged Snape tightly, then let go.

"Good night, sir, I like you the most. With that, she trotted away.

A smile tugged at Snape's lips as he sat down at the table.

Sally took the gift, humming a song like a lounge, passing by the staircase and suddenly remembered Fred, although she thought that he must not be waiting there stupidly, but, she should not have seen much.

She returned to the Great Hall, and sure enough, it was empty, the hall without tables and chairs was extremely empty, and Sally turned to leave, only to find George right behind her.

"Why haven't you left yet. She asked, confused.

"Because you promised to dance with me. George said.

Sally smiled and said, "It's Fred who I promised, not you, George." ”

George was a little surprised: "You recognize me as George?"

"Why can't you recognize them?" Sally said confusedly, "Although you look alike, you still feel a little different." She couldn't help but yawn. "Since Fred isn't here, I'll go first. Merry Christmas to him and to you, George. Good night. ”

With that, Sally left the auditorium, and behind her, George looked at her back, thinking about something.

"What are you looking at, George. Fred asked, walking up from the other side.

"Sally just left, you're late, brother. George said.

"I, I didn't wait for her. Fred said, but the joy and regret in his eyes did not hide from George's eyes.

"Gone. George said, "She wishes you a Merry Christmas." ”

"Oh. Fred replied lightly.

George glanced in the direction Sally had left, and then at Fred beside him.

We've always been two people together, Fred, we've been like this since we were kids, we feel that others don't understand our thoughts, because they don't understand us, so they can't tell us apart just by appearance, even our mothers, our world has always been only each other, but now this tacit understanding has been broken, and you have a place for another person in your heart, although it is small, but it cannot be denied that her status is very stubborn.

Sally hummed a little tune and returned to the Slytherin common room, she was in a good mood, exceptionally good. So when she saw Pansy and Malfoy sitting in the break room, she even smiled and nodded hello to the two of them, and then planned to go to sleep beautifully.

"Sally. Malfoy spoke, and Sally stopped, turning her head to look at him suspiciously, and Pansy's distorted countenance.

"You... Malfoy stopped her on the spur of the moment, not knowing what to say.

Only two or three people sat far away in the lounge except for the two of them, so Sally looked at him for a moment, saw that he had nothing to say, shrugged her shoulders and prepared to leave again. But someone grabbed him by the arm.

"Malfoy, is there anything wrong with you?" asked Sally, confused.

"I... "She thinks you're beautiful. Pansy said sharply, "Isn't it?Malfoy, you think this little is so beautiful, and you don't take your eyes off her all night, as if you had been charmed." ”

"Shut up. Malfoy yelled.

"I've had enough, Malfoy, don't forget my brother's words, and let you take good care of me. Pansy called out as well, and the other two people in the lounge snuck away, leaving the three of them alone.

"It's because of your brother's words, Pansy, that I allowed you to be my girlfriend, but I told you at the beginning that I didn't like you. You said you didn't care, why do you regret it now?" Malfoy said haughtily, regaining his composure.

"I... Pansy was at a moment's mark, indeed, from the very beginning, Malfoy had made it very clear to her that he didn't like her, and that they hadn't even embraced for so long.

"If you can't stand it anymore. A sneer curled into Malfoy's mouth, "Let's break up." ”

"Never!" said Pansy. "I'm not going to break up with you, Malfoy, I'm your girlfriend. ”

"Then go back to your bedroom now, I have something to say to Sally. Malfoy said.

“。。。 Pansy gave Sally a resentful look, if there was substance in her eyes, she would have been slashed several times.

Pansy leaves, leaving only Malfoy and Sally in the break room.

"Sit there, okay?" asked Malfoy, not on his toes. Sally wanted to refuse, but seeing that he was a little cautious about the invitation, she hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
