HP: Embrace the Darkness

In 1978, there was a violent storm, thunder and lightning at Chadworth Castle in London, England.

On the contrary, there was silence in the castle at this time, except for the hurried footsteps of servants.

The contemporary Duke of Devonshire stood silently at the door of the room, staring closely at the closed door in front of him.

Suddenly, a baby's cry broke the silence, and the originally anxious atmosphere relaxed.

The man ignored aristocratic etiquette, opened the door and walked in.

The young and noble Duke walked to the bed in two or three steps, gently wiped the sweat from the face of the weak woman on the bed, and looked at her distressedly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Anna."

"I feel okay, our kids are well behaved."

Ana looked at the child in her arms and patted his back gently.

The child, who had been cleaned by the servant, stayed obediently in his mother's arms, neither crying nor fussing. His dark eyes stared curiously at Anna and the Duke.

The Duke couldn't help but take the child and look at it carefully.

"Athes von Cavendish, this is your name. My child, this is our greatest blessing to you. I hope you will not live up to this name."

Little Asseth waved his little hands in the Duke's arms, wondering if he understood his father's words.

Several years passed and the newborn baby was already five years old.

Aces lived up to his father's expectations. At the age of five, he was so well-behaved that he didn't even act like a child.

When children of the same age were playing around, he accepted various lessons arranged by his father.

When other children were unwilling to study, he developed the habit of reading every day.

Even his mother Anna couldn't help but lament that she had never experienced the difficulty of raising a child.

Her children are sensible, obedient and self-disciplined, and are more worry-free than some adults.

When he was six years old, Asses had his first magic riot. The too powerful magic riot scared his parents.

I have seen children riot with magic power, but I have never seen such a powerful magic power riot. Two powerful adult wizards could not calm him down.

Most of the entire castle was damaged, and in the end, Asses fell asleep from exhaustion, leaving only the remaining castle.

From that day on, the Duke had to take time out to teach him how to control magic.

There was no way around it. Aces's magic power was far stronger than that of ordinary little wizards. If he couldn't master it, he would most likely be injured by the magic power and become a squib. This was unacceptable to all of them.

Aces' learning in magic control is a bit unsatisfactory.

He is too young, and his magic power is too strong, and he will hurt himself if he is not careful.

I can only control my magic power carefully little by little every day.

In the end, Anna couldn't stand it anymore. In one night, I made an alchemy bracelet.

Although the appearance of the bracelet is very rough, its function is very suitable for Aces.

Not only can it limit magic output, but it can also repair itself.

After getting the bracelet, Asses began to practice control every day.

From small to large, from less to more, he gradually became familiar with and controlled the magic power. This process took him two full years.

Two years of training in magic control have allowed Ass to control magic like an arm and a finger.

The magic power that was difficult to control in the hands of other little wizards was incredibly docile in Asseth's hands.

When he was eight years old, the magic power in Artes's body was no worse than that of a fifth- or sixth-grade wizard. This was verified by his two parents who graduated from Durmstrang.

Ever since they discovered their son's powerful magic power, they began to think about the enlightenment of magic teaching.

But Ates had not yet mastered magic at that time, so this enlightenment could only be put on hold temporarily.

Now that Asseth could control his magic, the two began to discuss Ass's magic enlightenment, and finally decided to take turns teaching.

Of course, it was Anna on the first day, and the Duke’s objections were ineffective.

In the morning, Asseth woke up, gently declined the service of Nina, the house elf in the castle, and washed and changed clothes by himself.

There's no way he's really not used to being close to others. Over the years, other than his own parents, being close to him has made him feel uncomfortable.

Due to this problem of mine, I might not even be able to find a partner in the future.

Asseth thought indifferently after packing himself up.

"Good day, Mom."

Aces greeted Anna in the living room elegantly.

Anna looked tenderly at her son who came downstairs.

"Good morning, honey, how did you sleep last night?"

"It's not bad. I'm just looking forward to today's study."

After saying this, Asseth looked at his mother expectantly.

Anna laughed. She was a child who was usually very stable. She only showed such a childish side when it came to things that interested her.

"I promise, your expectations are definitely worth it, but you need to go have breakfast now."

"Of course, my beautiful mother."

After saying that, Asseth helped his mother up and walked to the restaurant like a gentleman.

The Duke has something to do today and went out early.

So there were only mother and son in the restaurant, with their backs straightened and enjoying breakfast calmly and elegantly.

The gentle sunshine in the morning and the quiet and comfortable atmosphere made Assis relax his tense spirit since last night.

Although he wouldn't admit it, Asseth, who usually tried to stay calm, was looking forward to today's magic learning.

After finishing the meal, Anna led Asseth to the spacious and dark basement.

With a flick of the wand, a beautiful silent spell lit up the entire basement.

"Come, take a look at this first."

Anna took out a Durmstrang first-grade textbook from the bookshelf on the left and handed it to Artes.

"This is the textbook I used when I was in school. Take a look at it first, and then come and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Aces took the textbook, sat down on the dark green patterned sofa with his short legs, opened the textbook and read carefully.

He has been taking classes since he was a child and is very familiar with reading textbooks.

Anna sat at the other end of the sofa, pulled out a book about alchemy, and started reading as well.

The fireplace was burning brightly, and the flames flickered from time to time. The whole family was immersed in books.

After reading the textbook, Asseth had a rough understanding of magic.

He looked up at his mother who was addicted to books, and it was a bit funny. His mother always said that he was too obsessed with the things he loved.

But it seemed to him that he and his mother had the same passion for the same things and were equally immersed in them.

Aces did not disturb Anna, but tentatively raised his hand, wanting to try the magic.

He didn't have a wand yet, but he had a feeling he could do it without one.

"Lumos"

The white light glowed softly in his hands.

Thanks to the two years of magic control training, Asseth has controlled the power of the spell very well, keeping the light at a level that will not disturb Anna's reading.

However, Anna was also paying attention to Asseth while reading, and the release of the curse obviously caught her attention.
