HP: Embrace the Darkness

Artes and Snape sat across from each other on the sofa, enjoying their belated lunch.

Amidst the subtle clatter of knives and forks, Asseth finished the last bite of the meal gracefully.

Then he slowly took out his handkerchief, straightened his appearance, and then looked up at Snape.

Seeing Snape lowering his head to eat, Artes suddenly remembered something.

"Professor, there may be some rumors in the college in the next few days. Professor, don't worry about it."

Before Snape could ask further questions, Artes continued.

"The content is probably about the discord between us."

After saying that, Artes looked at Snape's expression and saw that he had no reaction. He was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

"I didn't mean to alienate the professor. It's just that keeping a distance, or even confrontation, is a good thing for the professor and me."

Snape naturally understood this truth. He didn't say anything but just thought it was a bit funny that the troll was carefully looking at him.

"Of course, if the professor thinks it won't work, I can change the method."

Seeing that Snape still didn't speak, Artes began to think of other ways.

"No need to change, this is it."

Seeing that he was anxious, Snape spoke slowly.

"but……"

"But what?"

"But I hope that when Mr. Aces tarnishes the reputation of his Potions Professor, he will remember who funded the mandrake he is holding in his mouth."

As he spoke, the Potions Master's eyes casually slid over Asseth's mouth, which had just taken the mandrake leaf.

Inexplicably, Asseth tightened his lips and his throat felt a little itchy.

"Ahem, the professor misunderstood. I never thought about ruining the professor's reputation. It was me who contradicted the professor. It was my fault."

He coughed twice, suppressed the itchiness in his throat, and explained to Snape.

Even if it is a rumor, do you take the problem on yourself?

Snape looked down at Artes in front of him, his eyes meaning nothing.

I really don’t know how Cavendish raised such a child.

"Professor? Is that okay?"

"what ever."

Anyway, it's not his reputation that's bad.

"Then Professor, I'll go back first."

"Ah."

With Snape's consent, Artes stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, the Potions Master's voice came from behind.

"Wait, why did you go back to the cellar."

Snape's voice was filled with confusion.

He didn't notice this detail at first, and he didn't react until he followed Ass's back and saw the petrified Miss Medusa.

"You didn't even have time to wait for the door to open. You just petrified it and forced the lock open?"

Asses' back stiffened and he glanced at the petrified Miss Medusa guiltily.

He turned around, took two steps to the side, and stood in front of Miss Medusa, trying to block the evidence of his crime with his body.

Looking at Snape's scrutinizing eyes, he gave an unconfident explanation.

"I was a little anxious at the time, so I didn't wait for it to open. I didn't mean to..."

"That's not the question, Mr. Asseth, why did you suddenly come back to the cellar?"

Snape interrupted Artes directly.

"Actually, I don't know. I just felt inexplicably irritable at the time, and then I remembered that the professor's face didn't seem right when he left."

Aces frowned, a little confused.

Feel?

It should be the wizard's intuition, but it's really a waste that this giant monster's intuition should be used in such a place.

Snape raised his eyebrows, stopped asking, and turned around to enter the potions room.

Seeing that Snape did not pursue the matter, Artes quickly recovered the petrified Miss Medusa, and then left before it could react.

After being petrified for nearly an hour, Miss Medusa's mind was a little confused. Her eyes were dull and she looked blankly in the direction where Asses left.

Her brain gradually came to her senses, and Miss Medusa looked angrily at the deserted corridor.

Damn Cavendish, don't let it open next time!

Miss Medusa's angry voice echoed in the corridor.

Poor Asseth doesn't know yet, but he has been added to the blacklist in the cellar.

"Did my father and mother give this to me?"

Asses holds a letter with Nina in front of him.

Nina nodded excitedly.

"That's right, Master Asseth, the master and his wife specifically asked that they must be handed over to you personally."

"Okay, you go down."

Assass sent Nina away, opened the gorgeous envelope by the unoccupied window, and took out the letter paper inside.

In the letter was Anna's reply about her godson.

Aces' eyes lit up, so fast!

He looked down hastily.

In the letter, Anna first expressed curiosity about Draco.

She said this: Merlin’s brain, I’m really curious about what kind of cutie can make our Asses want to be a brother.

At the end of this sentence, Anna also drew a small Arthur with pitiful eyes.

Looking at his strange portrait, Asseth smiled helplessly, and then continued to look down.

Below is Anna's relief that Asseth can still remember their two lonely parents when they are accompanied by new people.

Lonely? Asseth was noncommittal about the term.

At the end of the letter, Anna let Asseth make his own decision, and they believed in his vision.

but! !

Anna wrote a big but, followed by a bold font to warn Asseth.

You must first ask other people and their families for their opinions! ! !

Through Anna's exaggerated font, Asseth seemed to see the serious emphasis in front of him.

"Hahahaha"

He finally couldn't help laughing happily.

This letter from my mother is too vivid.

After laughing, Asseth folded the letter and took out the class schedule copied from Draco.

Flying lessons?

What is Xiaotuanzi's favorite thing? If you ask now, it might be easier.

Aces didn't hesitate and went straight to the flying lesson location.

On the way, Asseth happened to meet Elise who was going to the library.

After meeting Artes, Elise naturally stopped going to the library. She turned around and followed Artes.

Considering the mandrake leaf he had just taken, Asseth did not refuse Elise.

On the lawn outside the castle, before Ass and Elise could get closer, they heard exclamations from afar.

The two of them looked up and saw an unknown figure falling from the sky.

Without enough time to react, Asseth drew out his wand and slid it over the fallen leaves beside him.

In an instant, the fallen leaves turned into a huge blanket.

Then, under the control of Asseth's magic power, the blanket quickly rushed towards the falling figure.

Amid everyone's exclamations, the soft blanket caught the falling figure and slid down a distance, cushioning the weight of his fall.

Finally, the blanket staggered to a stop three meters above the ground.

Aces stepped forward quickly and was relieved when he saw the little platinum peacock looking around in the crowd.

Then he waved his wand and the soft carpet fell softly to the ground.

"Merlin, are you okay, kid?"

Mrs. Hoqi rushed forward, dug out Neville, and looked at him nervously.

Neville waved his hands in confusion, as if he couldn't move?

Mrs. Huo Qi quickly checked him.

"It's nothing serious. I was probably too nervous and twisted my hand when I was thrown off the broom."
