Severus Snape never considered himself the type of person who attends events that consist of socializing and other things since he is a very reserved boy and does not like contact with strangers.

All the little peace that there was at Hogwarts had gone to hell when the director of the magic school, Albus Dumbledore himself, announced in the middle of the great dinner that there was going to be a dream masquerade ball event with other magic schools. such as: Beauxbatons, Ilvermorny and Castelobruxo.

From the moment that was announced everything was chaos, all the girls were looking for their best dresses and masks as well as hair and makeup. Even the boys, of course Severus didn't even plan to attend the dance but he was forced by his only friends. Lucius Malfoy, Regulus Black, Narcissa Black and a few other Slytherins.

Now Severus was standing in the middle of the dance, wearing an expensive suit a gift from Lucius, with his hair tied up in a ribbon and a mask as black as his onyx eyes. He could have attended but he swore he wasn't going to dance with anyone until who saw you. You someone who had never seen and couldn't even frankly remember if he had seen you before because of the mask, he didn't even know if you were from Hogwarts but he couldn't help but approach you and make a gentlemanly bow before you, extending his hand. and for the first time smiling little one

"May I dance this piece with you?"

he asked you politely without stopping looking at you with a twinkle in his eyes. Even his friends were shocked, looking at him from the corner, they had never seen him be like this, not even with the Gryffindor Lily Evans
