HP: Embrace the Darkness

"They will protect me, and you don't have to worry about my affairs. You can take care of yourself."

After saying that, Draco followed Clarius, who was waiting, and Antonio followed closely behind them.

Soon, one person and three beasts completely disappeared in front of the four Harrys.

"Harry, what's wrong with you? Why do you care about that Malfoy?" Ron asked confused.

You know, Harry, like him, has always disliked the arrogant and domineering Draco.

When Harry didn't answer, Hermione glared at him warningly, then looked at Harry worriedly.

"Harry, are you okay? Were you injured just now?"

Harry shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Hmph, I think Harry must have been hurt by some unknown person. Otherwise, how can we explain his worrying about Malfoy's behavior?"

Ron continued to be sarcastic.

"Ron!"

Now Hermione couldn't bear it anymore and loudly refuted his prejudice. Ron was not to be outdone and started arguing with her.

Harry didn't pay much attention to their quarrel, but asked Hagrid worriedly.

"Hagrid, Malfoy followed them, what should we do?"

"Harry, I don't think we need to worry. Judging from their behavior just now, Malfoy should know them and be deeply trusted by them. They will protect Malfoy."

Hagrid patted Harry's shoulder reassuringly with his large hand.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's leave first. It's not safe here. I have to consider your safety."

This proposal was supported by everyone, and they no longer wanted to stay in this dangerous and terrifying forbidden forest.

On the other side, Draco followed Cloris and walked in circles to an open grassland, where a black shadow stood.

Draco was about to remind Cloris when he saw Estella running over.

He immediately realized that the person standing there was Asseth.

So, he also followed Estela and ran towards Ases.

Two cannonball-like figures rushed straight into Asseth's arms, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"hiss"

After catching the two small cannonballs, Asses felt that his internal organs were about to be displaced by them.

He raised his hand and patted the heads of the two little cannonballs.

"open."

The two guilty little bastards who had done something wrong pretended to be dead. They buried themselves in Ass's waist without raising their heads and rubbed against him vigorously.

"Don't act like a baby, it's useless."

"Why don't you let go quickly?"

His tone became increasingly dangerous, and the two little ones realized the danger and backed away obediently.

Cloris and Antonio came side by side to Aces, and looked at the two guilty children who lowered their heads with him.

"Come one by one. Draco, please tell me first why you appeared in the Forbidden Forest and were with the Saviors."

Draco looked around, trying to find an animal to save him.

But among the three beasts, one also needs to be punished, and the other two stand on the same front as Asseth.

"Did not say?"

"I said!"

"I was caught wandering at night by Professor McGonagall, and was sent to detention. It was an accident to Potter and the others, so I ignored him."

"Later, the big man Hagrid said that a unicorn was injured and he wanted to seek treatment from the injured unicorn, so I went with Potter, and then we met Estela."

"Estella was bleeding at the time, and the man in black robe was still there. I couldn't leave it alone. Besides, I had the alchemy pendant on my body. I knew you would come to save me."

Draco crackled and told Ass what happened, and then carefully raised his eyes to examine his face.

Aces lowered his eyes, looking at the frightened fear on his pale little face, and felt a little soft-hearted.

He softened his expression and opened his hand towards him.

Draco reacted instantly and rushed into his arms, complaining.

"Aces, I was really scared at the time. The man in black robe was so scary... He wanted Estela's life."

"I almost couldn't see you."

Draco kept talking about his fear, and as he spoke, his voice was filled with tears, and his hands holding Artes were shaking.

Asses knew he was scared and patted his back to comfort him. Cloris and Antonio also gathered around and comforted him in their own way.

Estela on the side saw this and wanted to come up to join in the fun, but was stopped in place by a look from Ases.

Do you still dare to move? You're next, stand still!

It stood there aggrievedly, watching with sadness as Draco was surrounded by comforters.

No beast or man loves me anymore.

Draco, who was comforted by everyone, was soon embarrassed to stop. He wiped away his tears and withdrew from Ass's arms.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Aces and the two big unicorns turned their attention to Estela, who was immersed in studying the underground weeds.

"Estella, I remember I reminded you to wear the necklace with you."

Cloris continued what Ass said.

"We also warned you not to run around while we were resting."

Estela lowered her head and froze, not daring to move. She could only watch the eyes on the ground moving, thinking about how she could escape today's disaster.

"Estella."

Aces emphasized his tone.

"Keep your head up."

Estella raised her head cautiously, imitating Draco's example, and looked at them aggrievedly.

It's a pity that no one is following its advice now. The matter this time was too serious, and Estella was just a hair away from dying in the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that the method didn't work, it turned its attention to Draco, blinking and asking him for help.

Draco gave it a helpless look. He had just escaped and there was nothing he could do.

After asking for help to no avail, Estela cautiously began to apologize and reflect.

While reviewing, he also observed the movements of one person and two beasts.

Aces had no expression on his face, and the two big unicorns didn't move at all.

Estella, who didn't get any feedback, couldn't help but rub her hoof anxiously, and the dazzling silver color dimmed a lot.

It lowered its head, "I know I was wrong."

This time he admitted his mistake more sincerely than before, and Asseth's expression looked better.

"Do you know that if I had been a little late today, not only would you have died, but Draco would have died as well. He would also have died silently in the Forbidden Forest with you because of your naughtiness."

His words made Estela's head lower and lower, and finally her whole head was buried in the ground.

"I'm sorry, Draco."

It apologized softly, tears welling up in its eyes.

Draco couldn't understand its words, but he could feel the apology in Estella's cry.

He couldn't help but comfort it: "It's okay, staying is my choice."

Artes glanced at him, and he immediately closed his mouth, blinked, and looked at Artes obediently.

"Will you be so willful next time?"

Estella shook her head obediently.

Knowing that Estela realized her mistake, Asses finally felt relieved.
