HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Can it really only be potions? Can't other things be used?"

After agreeing to Artes' request, Dumbledore was a little unwilling to give up and tried to get some more benefits for Hogwarts.

Aces didn't hesitate.

"My father said that alchemy is also possible, but unfortunately, Hogwarts does not have an alchemy course."

"Alchemy?"

Dumbledore was a little tempted, but finally gave up on the idea.

The professors and students at Hogwarts have never been exposed to the advanced course of alchemy.

If this course is offered in order to obtain financial support, the results may be counterproductive.

"Well, I'm sorry too."

He stroked his beard and said sadly.

When Asseth saw that Dumbledore had made his decision, he proposed to leave. Being with this wise old man, he was really under too much pressure.

"Do you have any questions, Headmaster Dumbledore? I'm going to write a letter to my father."

Dumbledore waved his hands cheerfully.

"No, no, thank you Mr. Cavendish and his family for supporting our Hogwarts. Say hello to your father and mother for me."

Aces stood up, bowed slightly to Dumbledore, and looked directly into his eyes.

"Okay, it's our pleasure."

Then, he straightened up and glanced at one place casually. Without pausing, he turned around and left the principal's office steadily.

"What a smart and good boy, don't you think? Severus."

Dumbledore looked at the closed door and sighed.

Behind him, Snape came out at some point and stood next to Dumbledore, looking at the door without answering.

Dumbledore turned his head: "Severus, you also heard about the special funds for potions. How do you feel?"

"I don't believe you can't see this move to win over people's hearts."

Snape replied impatiently to Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore stroked his beard.

"Don't put it so harshly, Severus."

"It's called each getting what he needs, but we get financial support and they get people's support."

"This family is all qualified Slytherins."

Dumbledore sighed.

Snape sneered and demolished him mercilessly.

"Are you still feeling pity that his parents are students of Durmstrang?"

Dumbledore smiled and said nothing.

He is not greedy for their galleons.

Snape was silent for a while and finally asked the question in his heart.

"Did you get the answer you wanted?"

Dumbledore hesitated and gave Snape a vague answer.

"maybe."

Snape's face darkened when he heard this answer.

Damn old bee, it happens again, every time.

If you don't believe him, then why call him here.

He threw off his black robe angrily, stopped wasting time with Dumbledore, turned around and rushed out of the principal's office.

A corner outside the principal's room.

Under the cover of the Disillusionment Curse, Artes used the mirror to see Snape leaving the principal's office angrily.

The professor is angry?

Ace frowned.

why?

That special fund for potions?

It's not surprising that the potion master could see his intentions. He had selfish motives in the potion special fund, but it was definitely not much.

And he didn't set any restrictions on the Potion Master?

No, it's definitely not his problem.

Since it's not him, it's Dumbledore's problem.

Aces analyzed in his mind, and finally attributed the problem to Dumbledore.

To a certain extent, he was telling the truth.

After standing there for a while, until Snape was completely out of sight, Artes walked out and went to the Owlery to mail a letter.

As Ass walked to the owl loft, he mentally recalled the conversation in the principal's office.

He probably didn't reveal anything that he shouldn't have exposed in front of Dumbledore.

Aces was a little unsure.

Arriving at the owl hut, as usual, Asseth picked out an owl at the edge of his eye and brought it out to feed and deliver messages.

After sending the letter out, Asseth took out another letter and called, "Nina."

Nina appeared in response.

"Whatever Master Asseth needs from Nina, Nina promises to complete the task."

Asseth handed over the letter in his hand.

"Send this letter to my father or mother, and be careful not to let anyone at Hogwarts find out."

"Nina knows! Nina will definitely complete Master Asseth's mission."

Nina took the letter, said goodbye to Asseth, and then disappeared into the Owlery.

After posting both letters, Artes turned and walked towards the Slytherin common room.

Before he reached the Slytherin common room, Artes saw a little badger hesitating at the door of the common room.

Seeing that he was still lingering, Asseth stepped forward and asked politely.

"Are you looking for someone? Do you need me to help you call him out?"

The little badger was frightened by the sudden sound and turned his head sharply.

Seeing that it was Asseth, he seemed to be even more nervous.

He took a gentle breath and said to Asseth:

"Hello, my name is Cedric Diggory. It's you I'm looking for. Can I take a moment of your time?"

"Just a moment, I promise."

The little badger's soft brown eyes stared at Asseth.

"Sure, here? Maybe we could go somewhere else?"

Aces pointed to an unoccupied corner and when Cedric nodded, he took the lead and walked over.

Cedric followed closely behind him.

After the two of them came to a deserted corner, Asses stood still and turned to look at Cedric.

"What do you find me for?"

Cedric pursed his lips nervously, his eyes apologetic.

"I'm here to apologize."

"I'm sorry. We made some noise, so we alerted the professor."

"Although you don't mind our behavior, I think we still have to apologize to you."

"This is something we have taken the liberty of making our own decisions."

Um? An apology?

Aces raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Later, he finally learned the whole process from Cedric's mouth.

One afternoon, after Asseth finished his Transfiguration class, the sight of him rushing to take over the class made the little badgers present feel quite sad.

They were even sadder when they remembered that Artes usually treated Hufflepah and them equally like Slytherin, without any hidden secrets.

It's just that the little badgers have a relatively gentle personality and can't do anything too outrageous.

Until Fred and George came to the door with a group of lions.

On that day, except for the Little Snakes who did not participate because they were the dean of their house, and Mingzhe Baoshen, even some Little Eagles participated.

They started whispering about Arthas on the road where every professor from Hogwarts would pass by.

After making sure every professor has heard.

The young wizards from each college seemed to have accidentally exposed Ass's hard work in front of their deans.

Fred and George even added fuel to the fire in front of Professor McGonagall, using their identities as Artes' friends.

That's why Professor McGonagall informed Principal Dumbledore after being pushed by many parties.
