Hogwarts welcomed a day filled with festive decorations.
With magic, the specially enlarged Great Hall was spacious and bright. Its exquisite decorations and vivid red roses were all the more dazzling and captivating.
All teachers and students had the day off.
On this day, Severus Snape welcomed the happiest moment of his life.
"Severus, congratulations. You're no longer alone now." Dressed in a bright suit, Sirius Black stepped forward and embraced Severus Snape, laughing heartily.
"You're the one who isn't alone, Sirius."
"Nothing you say ever sounds particularly auspicious."
Severus rolled his eyes at Sirius Black. Though he said that, his face was still full of smiles.
"Hahaha, I really am congratulating you. Remus can vouch for that." Sirius patted Remus Lupin on the shoulder and laughed.
Holding a glass of red wine, Remus Lupin clinked it against Severus Snape's and smiled. "Congratulations, Severus."
"Thank you!" Severus Snape said with a smile.
Remus Lupin had been the matchmaker, while his wife, Nymphadora Tonks, was Cisri Monka's friend and part-time bestie.
If not for Remus Lupin's introduction, Severus Snape might not have ended up with Cisri Monka.
Katelyle stepped forward and gave Severus Snape a hug, smiling. "Severus, you look even more like a man now."
Severus Snape had shed his usual black robes. Dressed in a tailored suit that showed off his figure, he looked quite presentable—exceptionally handsome, in fact.
Hearing Katelyle's words, Severus Snape smiled, then said seriously, "Thank you, Kate."
"Because of you, I was able to change like this."
Katelyle shook his head. "I didn't do anything to you. It was all the result of your own efforts."
"But no matter what, congratulations on finally winning the beauty's heart. It's time to put some regrets completely behind you and welcome a new life, isn't it?"
