HP: Embrace the Darkness

Title: Open! Open! Will Professor Cavendish and Professor Snape come down to dance?!

1L OP: I'm so mad! I thought I'd never see my CP kiss in my lifetime (I'm timid and don't dare to peek, Professor Snape is so scary) I didn't expect Professor Alchemy to be so bold and actually went straight for it, awesome! Even though it was just a kiss on the corner of the mouth, ahhhhh I don't care, I declare! Rounding it off, they're married, beat the drums!

2L: I feel like your relationship is about to end. My boyfriend and I were turning around over there just now, and we happened to hear what they were saying. Professor Cavendish said something like "no status" and I didn't hear anything else after that. My boyfriend turned me away.

3L: What? No status! ? Impossible, I don't believe it! Didn't they make it public a long time ago - wait, it seems that in my impression, only the alchemy professor said that he had a lover in front of the suitor, did Headmaster Snape say it? ? ? Or do I not know?

4L: No need to worry about it, I'm from Slytherin, and I tell you, the dean never said what their relationship is, but do you think that if they are not a couple, our dean, who is so...someone, can let others get close to him?

5L: The fourth floor person has the ability to type out the content of the ellipsis.

6L: No, why are you suddenly concerned about this? At that time, Professor Alchemy's words were widely circulated in Hogwarts. If it was a rumor, then those of us who spread the rumor would have been killed by the old bat long ago.

7L: Exactly. Instead of whining here, why don’t you *check whether they jump or not? Anyway, I *jump, damn! Isn’t this blocking word a bit too much?

8L: I’m different. I won’t jump. Look at the old bat’s expression. I even suspect that he is going to throw the cake in front of him at senior Potter’s head.

9L Golden Snitch Don't Run: ...What does it have to do with me! Why are you hitting me!

10L: I’m answering on behalf of the eighth floor. Of course it’s because Senior Porter, you’ve been at the top of the dean’s blacklist for seven consecutive years!

11L: Maybe it still is now.

12L: Wait! Look up there—

13L OP: Hand! Hand! Hand! He’s reaching out! Oh my god!

A long time ago, Snape had an inexplicable intuition that he probably couldn't do anything about Athis.

As it turns out, he was right.

No matter how intense the struggle and thinking were, they all collapsed in Ases' silent waiting.

Snape stretched out his hand half hesitantly and half compromisingly, but before he could say the invitation, his hand suddenly felt heavy and he reflexively closed his fingers.

The two pairs of slender hands were immediately clasped closely together, with rings of the same style touching each other, shining with a delicate and warm light under the lamp.

Aces's eyebrows curved, and his lips blossomed into the most gentle arc of the night: "Sif, we haven't danced outside yet."

Snape squeezed Aces' palm, sighed in his heart, but smiled: "Dance if you want."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, avoiding Grindelwald and Dumbledore who had jumped over from behind at some point, and slid deftly into the center of the dance floor holding Aces's hand.

Ases cooperated very well, changing his steps and spinning according to Snape's rhythm, moving closer to the center of the dance floor little by little.

The little wizards around saw this scene and exclaimed in amazement one after another. Then they turned and retreated, spontaneously forming a circle and surrounding Athis and Snape in the middle.

Professor Sprout danced the male steps. She turned beautifully and saw Snape and Athis entering the dance floor hand in hand. She understood what she meant and nodded to Professor McGonagall. Then she retracted her arm and pulled Professor McGonagall to the side to make room for the two of them.

Grindelwald and Susanna, who had not heard the gossip, were very unhappy. One of them took Dumbledore's hand and danced closer and closer, while the other dragged the desperate Draco and squeezed into the group of dancers.

Susanna was very strong and didn't want Draco to whine and get in the way, so she danced the male step regardless of Draco's weak struggle.

Poor Draco was unable to resist the suppression of the evil landlord. His girlfriend, the only one who could save him, was watching the show happily. He could only dance the female steps with Susanna in extreme humiliation.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the center of the dance floor, and no one noticed his slightly awkward female steps. This was the only thing he was thankful for.

The only girlfriend who saw the whole thing was in high spirits and raised her camera to press the shutter button repeatedly, but the pictures she took were not of Draco, but of Athis and Snape who were in the center of the dance floor.

Snape could feel that most of the eyes in the hall were focused on him and Athis. He frowned slightly and took the opportunity to quickly observe everyone's expressions while spinning.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald were the closest, and their expressions were normal, except that Grindelwald would occasionally tilt his head with a serious look, and no one knew what he was doing.

Behind the two old people were Susanna with a rosy face and Draco with a pale face.

Snape had not expected this strange combination. He looked at it curiously for a few seconds before slowly looking away.
