Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

Two pairs of equally cold hands overlapped.

The little 'God of Death' embraced a beautiful girl from a foreign country and danced with her under the moonlight.

"——You don't look like you've just learned it."

"Thanks to Professor Snape for his good teaching."

The boy called the professor chuckled and changed his dance steps with a little effort.

"Then I must live up to this title."

Severus Snape's dancing steps were unexpectedly good. It was hard to imagine how he had learned so much in almost a year.

But it was obvious that he didn't like dancing.

So much so that no one knew that he was also proficient in dancing.

Yun Ci imagined Severus Snape secretly learning dance steps by himself, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise again.

Overall, Yunci's first Halloween ended perfectly.

The next day, the two started studying again.

Yun Ci finally finished writing the thick stack of test papers, and then carried them to the principal's office, asking Principal Dumbledore to send them back through the channel he used to receive test papers.

When Voldemort is not involved, Headmaster Dumbledore is just an ordinary, gentle old man, although his eyes always radiate wisdom.

Dumbledore asked about Yunci's situation at school, and somehow their conversation ended up talking about dark magic.

It was obvious that he was secretly keeping an eye on Yun Ci.

He seemed to be very concerned about Yun Ci's research on black magic, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his gentle eyes.

"For me, magic is just a tool to help me live my life." Yun Ci smiled, "And the black and white of magic depends on the good and evil, good and bad of the user, isn't it?"

Even the Levitation Spell can kill someone if the user wants to do evil.

If the user has good intentions, even the Bone-Crushing Spell can be used to crush stones.

In Yun Ci's opinion, most of the magic that was classified as black magic was not so dark that it should not be used. If there was anything that needed to be completely banned, it should be the Unforgivable Curses.

Dumbledore looked into Yun Ci's clear eyes: "Of course, of course..."

"Mr. Principal, I know what you are worried about." Yun Ci said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't."

She had no interest in hanging out with those Death Eaters.

Dumbledore looked at the girl who was prophesied to be the one who could end the darkness, with a kind smile on his face. "Of course, that's what we all look forward to."

Yun Ci said goodbye to Dumbledore and left.

Today's classes have all ended, Yunci went to the library to meet up with Snape and the others and continue her plan of "reading through the library".

She felt that many things in this world might be useful to Yuko, so while reading, she did not forget to copy them into the space.

In this way, the days passed quickly as Yunci studied, the foursome read books together, planted herbs, and researched with Severus Snape, until it was the last holiday of the year - Christmas.

This holiday will last from December 12th to January 24th. It is a long break and one of the few times in the year when the little wizards can go home.

Of course, if you don’t want to go home, you can choose to stay in school.

The professor will ask the young wizards about their wishes in advance.

Yunci's home is too far away, so she will definitely stay in school.

Severus Snape also didn't want to go home and refused Lily Evans' invitation to spend Christmas together.

The two watched Lily Evans walk away, and Yun Ci looked at Severus Snape.

"I'm going to weed the herb field today. Want to join me?"

Severus Snape nodded and followed Yun Ci.

Hogwarts prepared a Christmas dinner for the students who stayed on campus, but before that, what awaited them were the Christmas gifts they would receive from their friends when they woke up on Christmas morning.

Severus Snape wasn't looking forward to this, as he received almost no presents at Christmas.

He got out of bed as usual, but tripped when he took a step.

Severus Snape lowered his eyes in surprise and found that there was a huge package beside his bed.

The black package was obviously not from Lily.

--mischief?

Severus Snape held the wand with some caution, and the moment he opened the package with magic, a neatly arranged shirt came into view.

"..."

Severus Snape paused slightly, frowning slightly.

He put down his wand and took out the clothes one by one - two sets of black clothes, including tops, coats, pants, and even shoes and socks, everything except underwear.

Severus Snape's eyes fell on the coat, on the not-so-conspicuous black embroidery.

——It’s actually in the shape of a vine.

He was very confused.

Who could have given him this Christmas present?

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Severus Snape's mind. Without hesitation, he rewrapped the gift and put it on the bed, then got up and walked out.

A purple bamboo building surrounded by medicinal fields stands outside the forbidden forest. The slightly bright building is so out of place with the forbidden forest shrouded in fog.

Severus Snape looked at the closed doors and windows, and his eagerness to quickly verify the facts eased a little.

Obviously, the owner here is still resting.

He sat down on the stone bench outside the house without hesitation, but he was thinking in his heart, if the gift was really from Yun Ci, what kind of return gift should he prepare.

'Squeak—'

The bedroom window was opened, and a girl in a nightgown with messy hair was hanging by the window, waving at the boy with a weary look.

"Good morning Snape, what brings you here at this hour?"

Severus Snape pursed his lips, the words he wanted to ask were stuck in his mouth, but he couldn't say them. He finally opened his mouth, but what he said was to Yun Ci who was still sleeping at eight o'clock -

“Yes, yes—” Yun Ci didn’t know whether she heard it or not, her eyes were almost closed, “I almost went to bed in the early morning, and I really couldn’t get up.”

She yawned and waved her wand to open the door for Severus Snape.

"If you need the alchemy room, please come in. I still need some time to catch up on my sleep."

After saying that, he threw himself back onto the bed without paying attention to the open door.

Severus Snape: "..."

He really didn't know whether he should scold the girl for her audacity or thank her for her courageous trust.

——But he stands out here.

During the Christmas period, there are also many students who stay in school.

There are no classes scheduled during this period, so they can wander around.

Severus Snape hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the room, took out a book that interested him from Yunci's bookshelf with some familiarity, and began to read it.
