On the first day of spring break, Snape couldn't wait to get on the train leaving Hogwarts.

He asked Professor Slughorn for help. Mr. Fielding, who worked at the Ministry of Magic, took a long leave to take Ms. Cathy on a trip.

No one knows where they went, and no one knows why Ace was called away.

The letter Asta sent to his parents asking about it was also blocked. Everyone was very uneasy about Ace's sudden disappearance, but there was nothing they could do.

As soon as he got off the train, Snape ran to Diagon Alley.

"Mr. Snape?"

Mr. Lake looked up from the counter and looked very surprised to see Snape's arrival. He should still be attending Hogwarts at this time.

"Has Ace been here recently?" Snape asked quickly, ignoring his surprise, his black eyes staring at him closely.

Unfortunately, Lake shook his head.

"Thank you." Snape closed the door in disappointment, turned around and strode away, rushing to the train station again.

Lake looked at Snape who was coming and going in confusion, shook his head, and continued to focus on the things in his hands.

Sitting on the train heading to the village of Foley in Hampshire, Snape was distraught - he had not heard from Ace for almost a week, and Headmaster Dumbledore had not revealed any news to him.

Foley Manor looks full of life from the outside, and the roses are blooming beautifully.

It was Vivi who opened the door. She looked at Snape with wide eyes and hope in her eyes, "Mr. Snape!"

"Where's Ace? Weiwei, is Ace here?"

It was already the second day, and Snape's face was full of haggard. This was the last place where he could find Ace.If Ace wasn't even here, he didn't know where to find her.

Tears flowed from Weiwei's big eyes and dripped onto her pink apron, "Miss went to the banquet at Malfoy Manor..."

When Snape heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, finally there was news.

"but--"

This made his heart suddenly pick up again, and he couldn't help asking anxiously, his voice seemed a little fierce, "But what!?"

Weiwei was so frightened that she took a step back and replied timidly: "Miss, Miss...she locked herself in Mr. and Mrs.'s room for almost three days, and left as soon as she came out."

"What the hell happened!?"

"Weiwei, Weiwei doesn't know either..." The elf's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Snape fearfully.

Snape sighed and took out the Malfoy Manor wedding invitation he had received two days ago from his arms, without even opening it.

Turning over the pure white and exquisite card, it read clearly - "You will be introduced to meet the great Dark Lord."

No matter what happened, Ace's purpose in attending this wedding must be to meet Voldemort, and Snape's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.

"When will the party start?" he asked Weiwei eagerly.

"Half an hour left, Mr. Snape."

After looking at his shabby shirt and wrinkled pants, Snape looked at Vivi.

"Help me find a dress, Vivi, can you take me to Malfoy Manor?"

"Weiwei, Weiwei can't leave the manor——"

"Do you want to save Ace?"

"But Weiwei..."

"Take me to Malfoy Manor, Vivi, please."

The elf looked into Snape's dark eyes and finally nodded hesitantly.

Snape arrived at the gate of Malfoy Manor before the party began.

"Severus! I thought you weren't coming!" Lucius stepped forward and hugged Snape warmly.

Snape's face was stern, and he forced a smile, "How is that possible, senior?"

Lucius didn't notice anything wrong. After all, Snape had always been so cold and inhumane.

"Ace is already here?"

Lucius listened to Snape's question and heard some urgency in it, and he smiled with a meaningful smile.

"Don't worry, Severus, your beautiful lady is with Narcissa and no one can take her away."

Hearing that Ace and Narcissa were together, Snape relaxed slightly and followed Lucius into the banquet hall.

The people mingling in the hall stopped and looked at who the person was who Lucius wanted to greet in person.

When they saw that it was a boy of unknown origin, they showed contempt in their eyes and turned back to continue talking. However, the men in black robes in the corner obviously noticed Snape and glanced at him back and forth with cold eyes.

"Master, sir, he is...a young lady..." A servant came and whispered in Lucius's ear, and his face darkened almost uncontrollably.

In order to avoid making a joke at his wedding, Lucius had to deal with the stupid things he had done for the disrespectful old Malfoy.

With a forced smile, Lucius looked at Snape and said, "Severus, you can take a walk around by yourself first. I'll be back when I'm gone."

Snape nodded, he casually picked up a glass of blood-red Lonza wine, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Finally, with no eyes on him anymore, Snape slipped out of the crowded hall and walked in the corridors of Malfoy Manor, looking for Ace.

"Ace, are you really going to do this?"

Narcissa was wearing a white dress, her straight golden hair was elegantly tied up, and white gauze was spread behind her.

Her blue eyes looked at Ace sitting in front of her with a worried expression.As someone who was about to become Lady Lucius, she knew best the significance of her wedding - to recruit disciples for Voldemort.

But meeting Voldemort was definitely not a pleasant experience.

Ace's gray-green eyes narrowed and he smiled, "Sister Narcissa, the bride, don't think so much."

Narcissa still remembered the first time she met Ace. At that time, she was still little and looked very well-behaved.

"Ace—"

Ace stood up, interrupted Narcissa, and handed the gift box in his hand to her, "Okay, the gift has been delivered, so I won't disturb the bride. See you later!"

Ace slipped up to the third floor. There was no one in the corridor and it was very quiet.

She reached out to hold the rose flower necklace around her neck, gently kissed the "ES" engraved at the bottom, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and walked towards the room deep in the corridor with a determined expression.

The girl was wearing a simple green dress, with hanging tassels swaying between her legs. Her dark green high heels made no sound when stepping on the dark red carpet.

Snape recognized the figure the moment he stepped onto the third floor. He walked over quickly, grabbed Ace's wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Ace! Where have you been?"

"Severus, why are you here?" Ace was hugged tightly, smelling the familiar smell of absinthe, tears instantly spread to her eyes, she tried her best to hold it back, and put down the wand in her hand, "Yes Did Senior Lucius invite you here?"

"What are you doing!?"

Snape let go of Ace and looked at her face. He quickly caught a glimpse of the jade-like white wand in Ace's hand.

"I thought someone was going to attack me." Ace raised a smile and tried to trick Snape away, "Severus, I need to help Sister Narcissa get something. You go downstairs and wait for me. "

Snape looked at the obviously abnormal girl in front of him. He thought about Ace's sudden and inexplicable disappearance, what Vivi said about "the lady locking herself in the room of Mr. and Mrs.", and the fact that Voldemort would appear as indicated on the invitation. At Malfoy Manor...

He seemed to understand something.

"I won't let you do this. You can't leave me alone, Ace."
