HP: Embrace the Darkness

"it's me."

Snape stood under the shade of a tree not far away, with shadows covering his body, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Arthur's eyes fell accurately on Snape.

For some unknown reason, Artes' eyes did not stay on Snape's face, but slid down and landed on the potions master's sharply knuckled hands.

The Potion Master seemed to have just come out of the Forbidden Forest. The sleeves of his arms were slightly rolled up, revealing a small section of his white wrist, and he was holding a large bunch of earthy herbs in his hand.

It was these hands and the unbreakable oath made by Narcissa.

Thinking of the pictures he saw and the sounds he heard at that time, Asses was a little lost.

Is the relationship between the professor and the Malfoy family that good?

Under the shade of the tree, Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at Artes who was staring at his hand in a daze.

"Have you seen enough?"

Aces was still in a daze and had no defense against him. Now that he heard his question, he subconsciously answered it.

"No."

Um? Is this troll finally going crazy?

Snape looked at him in surprise and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the formal attire he was wearing.

"You came back from outside?"

"You guessed it right, but it's a pity that I don't have anything to reward you with now."

Aces finally came to his senses, looked at Snape and laughed inexplicably, and directly explained his itinerary without waiting for him to continue questioning.

"I went to see Mr. Malfoy."

Aces left the Black Lake and walked towards Snape.

"My parents will consider Draco their godson."

Snape frowned, "Did you propose this?"

"it's me."

"why?"

"Maybe it's because Draco is more...well...cute?"

Aces stood next to Snape, looking side by side towards the Black Lake.

"If your brain is still spinning, you should know how stupid this is."

Snape was in disbelief at what this troll was doing, and how much deeper he wanted to sink in.

"Do you really think you can do anything? Not even Dumbledore's old bee, let alone you."

Artes tilted his head slightly and looked at Snape, "Professor is angry?"

"No, I'm just happy to have one less stupid troll."

Snape didn't look at Asseth and his tone was sarcastic.

"You are stupid and arrogant, why should I be angry?"

Aces looked at the potion master's side face, and suddenly felt a little panicked. It seemed that something was out of his control, but he had no way of knowing.

He didn't dare to look any further and looked away.

The two fell into silence.

"Professor, do you think love is a weakness or an armor?"

Unable to bear the stagnant atmosphere between him and the potion master, Artes randomly brought up a topic.

"You should ask our great Principal Dumbledore this question, and then he will tell you that love is the greatest magic."

Snape sneered under his breath, expressing his disdain at Artes' stupid question.

"And if you're bored enough to think about this, why not think about when your six papers will show up in the cellar."

Assei was speechless. Why did the professor insist on holding on to his paper?

Confinement and point deductions were of no use to Asseth. It was rare to catch his weakness, so Snape would not let it go.

"I'll hand it in tonight."

Aces recalled the progress of the paper and said confidently.

so fast?

"Then I look forward to Mr. Asseth's masterpiece."

Snape threw the herbs in his hand to Artes and turned to leave.

Aces took the freshly baked herbs and followed helplessly.

The two of them walked through the corridors of Hogwarts one after another and returned to the cellar. Without Snape opening his mouth, Aces handled the herbs smoothly.

After taking care of it, he stood up and said goodbye to Snape, preparing to leave the crypt.

Snape was reading a book with his head down, but at the last second when Artes stepped out of the cellar, he seemed to mention it accidentally.

"It's a full moon these days."

Aces paused slightly, with a smile on his face, and then quickly left the cellar.

Back in the dormitory, Asseth immediately counted the time he had held the mandrake in his mouth.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that if there were no accidents this time, his first stage of learning Animagus would be over successfully.

But he was not happy for long because he still had papers to worry about.

In fact, his paper was almost completed, except for the last one, but it was this last one that stumped him.

He had written everything he could in the first five papers, but he really didn't know what to write in the last one.

Holding the quill and facing the blank parchment, Artes was in a daze for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Didn't the professor stipulate that the subject of the thesis must be about potions?

Aces had a bold idea and he was going to act on it.

Once he had an idea, his quill pen never stopped. After writing eighteen inches eloquently, he still had some unfinished ideas.

He put down his pen and looked at his last paper with satisfaction.

It was a paper on flying spells.

When he first entered school, he had been studying the flying spell. Later, because of the Mirror of Erised, he touched a little bit, but before he could completely perfect it, Voldemort happened, causing him to focus all his energy on Horcruxes.

So to be precise, this is the prototype of the flying spell.

He used this as his thesis, and he did not reflect on Snape, a powerful wizard,'s thoughts on the understanding of magic.

Looking at half of the paper, which was filled with questions, Asseth hesitated for a moment, then raised his pen again and added two magic spells.

One was the silent transmission spell he had used before, and the other was the apparation he had improved when he was a child.

After finishing all the papers, Asseth raised his hand and called out Nina.

"Take these to the crypts and give them to Professor Snape."

Asseth put six papers into Nina's hands.

He might have to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight, so he would have to ask Nina to deliver his papers.

"Okay, Master Asseth."

Nina took six papers and disappeared into Ass's dormitory.

As night fell, Asseth came to the Forbidden Forest alone. Without any hesitation, he headed straight to the small valley where unicorns gathered before.

As he approached the valley, Atheth's magic power flowed to the back of his hand, and a half-moon pattern was revealed.

With blessings opening the way, Asseth walked into the small valley without hesitation.

In the valley, as before, a large number of unicorns gathered, feeling the blessing of Asseth. They did not resist Asses' arrival, but instead hissed and greeted him.

Aces nodded in return, then scanned the valley and found the leader of the unicorns among a group of unicorns.

The leader of the unicorns also saw him, walked over slowly, and circled around him.

"Why are you alone?"

The unicorn leader asked strangely.
