HP: Embrace the Darkness

The little wizards ended their meal in chaos.

"Ding ding ding", the crisp knocking sound attracted the attention of the little wizards who were full of food and drink.

Dumbledore stood up with a smile and gave himself a loud voice.

"Okay, today's sorting ceremony is coming to an end. Before the end, let's do one last activity - singing the school song."

Dumbledore stood up and waved his wand like a conductor.

Suddenly, school songs of various tones rang out in the auditorium, and everyone was singing the school song in their favorite tune.

The tones are different, but under the command of Dumbledore's magic, it does not appear chaotic and noisy, but has a strange beauty.

Aces did not participate in the singing. He has never been used to such a lively atmosphere. Rather than singing in the auditorium with the whole school singing, he preferred to conduct his research in his own box.

After the chorus, the sorting ceremony officially ended, and the prefects of each college took their freshmen to their dormitories.

Slytherin's common room is at the bottom of the lake.

In the basement, Slytherin's prefect brought Little Snake to a stone door and first introduced Slytherin.

"First of all, welcome to Slytherin. We, Slytherin, are the most outstanding house in Hogwarts. We have won the House Cup for four consecutive years."

"Remember, you have to safeguard the glory of Slytherin, and the College Cup cannot be interrupted."

"We come from the quagmire, we are ambitious, we thirst for power, we are strong and calm, we are elegant and self-possessed, we never regret, we are Slytherins."

After finishing speaking, the Slytherin prefect pointed at the stone door and said:

"Remember, you need a password to enter the lounge. The password is changed every two weeks, and the new password will be posted on the bulletin board."

"One more thing, it is strictly forbidden to pass on our passwords to others."

"This week's word is pureblood."

After saying the password, the stone door opened, and the prefect led the little snake in.

In the common room, Slytherin's viper leader was already inside.

He stood up expressionlessly, glanced at the trembling little snake, and said gloomily:

"According to Slytherin's rules, freshmen need to elect an invisible chief to manage you brainless trolls."

When he saw Asseth, he paused for a moment, glared at Asseth who was smiling at him, and then continued:

"I hope you don't act like stupid trolls and can't use your wands."

"Start now."

After speaking, Snape waved his wand, and the magic drew an area in the lounge as a duel platform.

The old students came over to watch the fun, while the freshmen whispered, but no one dared to stand on the duel stage under Snape's strong aura.

Aces originally did not intend to participate in these things, but when he saw that no one was willing to compete, he felt bad.

Sure enough, Snape set his sights on him.

A deep, gorgeous voice slowly flowed out of his mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that the legendary heir to the Cavendish family didn't even have the courage to stand on the duel stage. It seems like it's just a reputation boasted by those stupid people."

Asseth knew that he couldn't do it now, but he didn't care.

But the professor was testing him, why, when did he attract his attention, or did he attract Dumbledore's attention?

Aces silently thought about what he had done during this period.

Facing Snape's oppressive gaze, Artes raised a sweet smile and asked:

"Dean, of course I have the courage to stand on the duel stage, but does anyone have the courage to duel with me?"

Snape looked around. The other little snakes lowered their heads to avoid the snake king's gaze.

Although they didn't know the strength of Artes, they couldn't stand up to Snape's pressure like Artes did. They were afraid that they would be sprayed with venom by the poisonous snake if they stood up.

Snape was dissatisfied with the retreating snake, and he glared at Artes.

"Confronted the professor, I hope the next two weeks of confinement will make you remember your mistake."

The atmosphere in the lounge became solemn under Snape's sarcastic words, but Asseth seemed not to feel the solemn atmosphere, and agreed to the confinement without changing his tone.

Also provided solutions to his own problems.

"Dean, can I challenge the senior or senior sister?"

Since he wants to test, let him do as he wishes. Just show some strength and avoid some unnecessary trouble.

As soon as Asses said this, not only the old students felt that he was ignorant of the world, but even the freshmen present felt that he was too arrogant.

Snape sneered and pointed at an old student as Ass's opponent.

The old student's name is Marcus Frater, a second-year student.

The two stood on the duel stage and saluted each other. The little snakes knew more or less the etiquette of duels, and they all saw that Ass's salute was very standard.

After saluting, Frater took the lead.

"Collapsed."

Aces stood still, calm and composed.

When Snape couldn't help but take action, Artes waved his wand, and a perfect armor spell blocked the opposite spell, followed immediately by an Expelliarmus.

The powerful magic knocked out Fred's wand and also knocked the person away.

Seeing this scene, there were screams of surprise in the lounge.

A flash of surprise flashed in Snape's eyes. Even senior students couldn't cast such a perfect Iron Armor Curse, but now a freshman could cast it.

Coupled with the quick connection of Expelliarmus and the power to knock people away.

It seems that we need to pay more attention to him. No wonder Old Bee is so wary of him. There are still two years until that Potter enters school. It's really troublesome. It's all that Old Bee's fault.

Thinking of Harry Potter, Snape's eyes became hollow.

Aces caught the man with a levitating spell, returned the wand in his hand, and then spoke to him gently.

"Sorry, I didn't control my power well. Are you okay?"

Being defeated by a new student in front of everyone and being knocked away, Frater's face really didn't look good.

But Asseth's attitude made it difficult for him to say anything, so he could only pick up the wand and leave the lounge.

Arthur didn't care about his attitude and turned to look at Snape, asking if he wanted to continue.

Snape said vaguely: "Continue."

After being slapped in the face by a new student, the other old students wanted to regain their place. An old student who was vaguely surrounded by people stood up.

He is the head of the third year of Slytherin, Aaron Carter.

The two saluted.

This time Asseth didn't give in. As soon as he finished his salute, an Expelliarmus was thrown at him.

Carter barely dodged, and was hit by Artes' stunner before he could fight back.
