HP: Embrace the Darkness

The originally empty magic mirror instantly turned gray, and a picture gradually appeared inside.

In the simple and exquisite Cavendish Manor, people were coming and going, and Asseth stood in the middle, surrounded by many people like stars holding the moon.

The serious Duke seemed to have angered Anna, who was angrily pointing at him and scolding him.

Beside them, two elegant couples whose faces could not be seen looked at them and smiled together. The woman whose face could not be seen clearly held Anna's arm and comforted her with a sweet smile.

The little platinum peacock was watching the show from the side, pulling Artes from time to time. There were two figures standing vaguely behind him.

On the other side, Carter and Elise were arguing about something. Duva, who was looking down at his book, chimed in from time to time. Next to him was Vincent, who was looking at the ledger.

A little further away, headed by the deans of each college, students from several colleges were scattered in various places.

Professor Split waved his magic wand and conjured up a variety of delicacies in front of a group of little badgers, and then gently watched their little mouths eating non-stop. The little badgers kept chatting while eating.

The cat-like Professor McGonagall glared at the two red-haired twins. The twins seemed to have succeeded in their prank and were not afraid of Professor McGonagall's black face. They kept covering their mouths and snickering.

Professor Flitwick stood on a small platform, tapping on the blackboard and giving lectures to the little eagles below. Sometimes the little eagles raised their heads to listen carefully, and sometimes lowered their heads to write furiously.

The Dean of Slytherin was not there, only the members of the Slytherin Quidditch team holding broomsticks, and the little snakes cheering around them.

There are also many unknown, familiar and unfamiliar little wizards in Hogwarts.

It's just more obvious.

Aces then looked over bit by bit.

Half-hidden behind the door, I found Grindelwald with only his back exposed. Next to him was Dumbledore, who also had his back turned to everyone.

Farther away, by the woods, you can still vaguely see a beautiful silver light, hidden in the mist.

The picture was almost perfect, but Asseth continued to search.

Finally, in the shadow of no one, he saw a black robe slightly exposed. The black robe had mysterious alchemical runes on it, shimmering with light.

This is the alchemical robe he gave to Snape.

Realizing this, Ass' eyes stayed on the black robe for a long time, and his hand unconsciously rubbed the alchemy ring.

On the alchemy ring, the magic text that shielded prying thoughts was closed during the rubbing, but Asseth did not notice this. He was still looking at the magic mirror.

Gradually, everyone around in the magic mirror disappeared, leaving only a corner of the black robe.

"Mr. Cavendish? What did you see?"

Aces came back to his senses and blinked in confusion.

It took him a while to react, and he drew out his wand and pointed it in the air. The first scene he had just seen gradually emerged, except that Grindelwald's figure was eliminated by him.

Harry took a deep breath and looked at the gorgeous Cavendish Manor in amazement and full of little people.

Dumbledore's eyes hidden behind his half-moon glasses quickly scanned the entire picture, and then he spoke with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Cavendish is really popular."

"But I'm sorry. It seems that Severus and I will continue to work hard to win a place in it."

Aces was still immersed in the scene just now, and his thinking was a bit slow. He paused for a while before he responded to Dumbledore.

He raised his wand and pointed at the figure behind the door.

"Headmaster Dumbledore is joking, isn't this you?"

Dumbledore stroked his beard and looked at himself, who had his back to everyone, "So this is how I feel in your heart."

"No, it may be that Principal Dumbledore, as the greatest white wizard of this century, is too far away from me, so you are the one behind me."

"Then Severus..."

Dumbledore carefully searched every place on the screen, and finally he looked at the corner of the black robe.

"Oh, I found it. It seems that I am better than Severus. At least, I still have my back?"

Dumbledore teased the absent Potions Master.

"But...why does Severus only have a black robe, and only a corner of it?"

"Actually, I don't know either."

Aces blinked slowly, his sanity gradually returning.

"Perhaps Professor Snape's black robes impressed me too deeply?"

Dumbledore looked at Arthas with unknown meaning.

"really?"

"What do you think, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Asseth raised an eyebrow and asked.

The two looked directly at each other. After a moment, Asseth was the first to look away.

"There is no other explanation."

His voice was low and a little confused, as if he was explaining to Dumbledore, but in Dumbledore's opinion, he seemed more like talking to himself.

"Okay boys, it's time for you to leave."

Dumbledore gave up questioning, turned to look at Harry who was confused and warned him.

"Harry, remember, don't look for this magic mirror."

After warning Harry, Dumbledore turned and left.

Having just faced Dumbledore, Artes was in no mood to care about Harry and left after saying hello.

Back in the auditorium, as soon as Asseth sat down, Elise next to him looked at him with concern.

"Sir? What's wrong with you?"

"I am fine."

Asseth picked up the knife and fork and answered Elise absently.

Elise looked at him worriedly, then took out a letter.

"Sir, a letter from the head of the Malfoy family."

Aces took the gorgeous envelope, opened it, and a beautiful badge fell out.

Aces caught it reflexively and glanced down. It was an extremely beautiful and ornate door key.

Looking at the door key, which was so gorgeous that even the pattern had gems, the corner of Asseth's mouth twitched, and then he thought about Draco who disliked the simple pendant, and he suddenly understood the reason for Draco's dislike.

The aesthetics of the Malfoy family are really the same and gorgeous, he sighed inwardly.

Then, he opened the fragrant letter. First there was a large paragraph of meaningless text. Asseth skillfully skipped it and went straight to the key points.

Talk about Christmas in detail?

Artes gently rubbed the letter with his fingers and his eyes fell on Malfoy's family crest.

I hope the result this time will not disappoint him.

-

On the first day of Christmas, Asses got up early to prepare gifts and arranged for Nina to send them out.

Then he changed into formal clothes, took a gift, and left Hogwarts.

In Hogsmeade, Artes checked his attire for the last time. After making sure it was correct, he took out the gorgeous door key and turned it on gently.
