HP: Embrace the Darkness

Make people angry.

Aces was startled, quickly recovered, and said seriously, "Enough."

"Let's get down to business."

The Potion Master nodded impatiently, "Hurry up."

Cynthia came over curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Don't you think there's something wrong with me?"

Aces pointed at himself and said to Cynthia.

Hearing this, Cynthia looked at the young man carefully and seriously.

"...You? Something's wrong? You've grown up?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Aces finally realized how speechless Snape felt when facing him.

"No one can grow up to be close to five years old in just ten days, not even Merlin."

Cynthia looked at him again, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and it reminded: "Would you like to change your look?"

"it is good."

Asseth nodded obediently, his magic power flowing with his heart, and his long silver-white hair pouring down, but his body shape did not change.

Cynthia had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized.

"I see!"

"what do you know?"

"You don't grow up suddenly, you transform."

"When our unicorn family is about to reach adulthood, there will be a special period called the transformation period. The transformation period is like a coming-of-age ceremony for you humans. Only after passing the transformation period can you become an adult beast."

Cynthia's tone was a bit strange when she talked about the transformation period. Both Artes and Snape noticed this detail. They looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

"Cynthia, is there anything special about the transformation period?"

Aces took the initiative to take over the task of asking questions.

"Special? The transformation period is to adjust our bodies to the most powerful form. It's nothing special. Your transformation period is the same, Asseth. Your body should be in peak condition now."

"Then was this also the reason why I had problems with my Animagus before?" He continued to ask.

"Yes and no. On the one hand, your transformed form cannot withstand your powerful magic power and the magic power from the moonlight. On the other hand, you have entered the transformation period, so you will shrink and use your body's instinct to transform."

"As for aging, it's also due to physical transformation. Don't worry, it won't have any impact. You're just an adult."

"And your body will not become weaker for a long time to come."

Cynthia said, she couldn't help but put her head close to him and nuzzled him, comforting the most special baby in their clan.

In fact, according to the calculation method of unicorns, Aces can be said to be the youngest generation, but the previous Aces was too mature, so they never realized this.

This time Asseth became smaller, and Cynthia opened up a new world.

Aces looked at it inexplicably, but couldn't help but take a handful of it in his hand.

A lot of hair fell out, and it was wrapped in his magic power and sent to Snape.

There was still plenty of unicorn hair that he had collected before, so he had no shortage of it.

Snape was not polite and waved his wand to collect the silver unicorn fur.

Seeing the wand, Artes remembered that he hadn't gotten his wand back yet.

"Cynthia, can I take the professor to the valley?"

"And a little bit about the blessing."

"Of course, I like him very much."

Snape, who had received so many likes in one day, didn't feel like talking.

When they arrived at the Unicorn Valley, Cynthia said she was going to ask the oldest unicorn, leaving the two of them in the valley and left in style.

Snape, who was surrounded by unicorns for a visit, didn't want to speak anymore. He looked at Artes expressionlessly.

Aces walked over funny and dismissed the unicorns around him.

"Don't mind, Professor, they like you so much."

He waved his hand to clear a clean place under the tree and sat down casually.

Looking far away, he fell on the little unicorn playing.

"It's rare for them to like someone that much. Even when I first came here, they weren't that enthusiastic."

"What do you want to say?"

Snape followed his lead and sat down at the base of the tree.

The fragrance of the trees lingered on the tip of his nose, and Snape remembered in a daze that it had been a long time since he had been in such an environment. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten that he once liked reading alone under a tree.

Snape, lost in his own thoughts, fell silent.

The gentle breeze blew through their hair, and Aces smelled the familiar bitter aroma of herbs in the wind.

"I didn't mean to say anything or do anything. I was just stating the facts."

His voice carried along the wind to Snape's ears.

The familiar environment and the favorite taste made Snape relax a lot. He pursed his lips and asked the question.

"When White Tiger was growing up...were you conscious?"

Snape didn't know why he asked this question, nor what kind of answer he wanted to hear, but it was rare for him to follow his heart.

In the gentle breeze, Artes was silent for a long time. When Snape thought he didn't know the answer, he spoke with a little confusion.

"You can say no, you can also say yes."

"The White Tiger is me, I am the White Tiger. I did not have human consciousness and reason at that time, but there is always something that overrides the instinct of the beast."

As for what it was, Asseth didn't know. He was confused at the time and had no close perception of the outside world.

It's just that he seemed to feel Snape's fear at a certain moment, and it was also at that moment that his human instinct overcame his beast's instinct.

"what?"

Snape wondered how he managed to suppress his bestial instincts.

Aces was silent for a moment.

Snape was arrogant and indifferent. If he said that it was because of Snape's fear that he reacted instinctively, he had no doubt that he would die miserably.

Moreover, he didn't want to embarrass him.

Aces thought about it for a moment before explaining, "Because I felt the professor's strong emotions and I was familiar with the professor, so I responded subconsciously."

He tried to speak as tactfully as possible, for fear of embarrassing the Potions Master.

But Snape still understood what he meant, and blood came to his pale face.

"If you weren't in your right mind troll then, you should shut up now."

"Of course, I feel the same way."

Aces leaned back against the tree, not refuting the Potions Master's words.

Snape felt as if he had hit cotton with his fist. His face turned dark and he stopped talking.

Asseth did not dare to touch the potion master's troubles and stopped talking.

Silence spread between the two of them, but it didn't seem stiff or unfamiliar. Just like this, the two quietly waited for Cynthia's return.
