HP: Embrace the Darkness

Aces didn't give in. "Otherwise, I'll make it a decoration for you."

"Isn't this not good?"

Miss Medusa was obviously so happy that her tail was curled up, but she still declined in a reserved manner.

"What if the dean doesn't like it?"

When she refused, Miss Medusa did not forget to peek at Asses, her tail pointing suggestively at her snake head.

All he had to do was tell him directly what kind of decoration it wanted.

A bit silly...

Aces almost couldn't keep the expression on his face.

"It's okay, you can wear it quietly and I'll give it to you when I come next time."

Miss Medusa was satisfied and looked at Asseth with a very friendly look.

"Then do it quickly. You go to the cellar every day. The next time is probably not far away. You have to hurry up."

Asseth nodded and left.

Back in the dormitory, Nina held a small stack of letters and leaned sleepily against the wall. She didn't know how long she had been waiting.

Seeing Asseth, she immediately became energetic.

"Master, Nina got the reply."

As she said this, she stepped forward and took the school uniform robe that Assei took off.

"Next time you can sit and wait."

Nina was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly: "Nina can't sit in the young master's seat. Nina can just stand. Nina won't be tired."

Aces knew the character of the house elf, so he didn't talk nonsense to her. He waved his hand and conjured a small chair. The height seemed to be just right for Nina.

"This is an order. Next time you come, sit here."

Why is the young master so good?

Nina burst into tears: "Thank you, Master Assis."

"Yes." Asseth nodded and accepted her thanks, sat down in front of the solid wood desk, and took the letter from Nina's hand.

"Have you all replied?"

"Yes, Master."

Aces read the signatures one after another, and stopped when he saw the signatures of the Duke and Nina.

"Did mom and dad say anything?"

"The master said everything will be according to the young master's idea, madam... madam"

Nina was a little hesitant, "Madam, she said she will be back in two days."

Asseth just opened the envelope and did nothing else after hearing this. He just continued to read the letter.

He was not surprised by this result. When he hinted everything in the letter, he guessed that Anna would not be able to resist her curiosity.

"okay, I get it."

The Duke and Anna's letter contained a lot of bits and pieces, ranging from trivial matters of daily life to local characteristics, and filled three large pages.

Only the last paragraph is a reply to Asses's letter.

A simple and clear sentence.

We believe you.

Asseth gently stroked this short sentence that couldn't be any shorter, and the hesitation in his heart for the past two days disappeared without a trace.

After a while, he put down the letter and looked at the other letters.

Similar to Duke Anna's gossip, Fudge's official tone was typed on two pages of paper. Artes quickly scanned it and sorted out Fudge's subtext in his mind.

Finally, I saw his response: Welcome Mr. Cavendish.

Asseth knew that Fudge agreed.

The next letter was from the Hogwarts Board of Directors, which invited Artes to a meeting.

The content is about whether Dumbledore can still protect Hogwarts and protect the students from harm.

Seeing this, Asseth roughly guessed whose handiwork this was.

Sure enough, the next letter from Lucius confirmed his suspicion.

As soon as he opened the envelope, the fragrance of the letter paper and an indescribable fragrance hit his nostrils, and Asseth pulled out the letter without changing his expression.

The letter paper is still full of gorgeous handwriting and long paragraphs of polite words.

He browsed through it quickly and found the information he wanted in silence.

Make Dumbledore resign as Headmaster?

Ace's head started to hurt.

Why was Lucius so persistent in targeting Dumbledore?

Doesn't he understand that Hogwarts, after leaving Dumbledore, is full of flaws?

And Draco was still at school.

But Hogwarts is not bad now.

Aces scoffed, putting down Lucius' letter and taking the next one.

This letter comes from Nurmengard and is Grindelwald's reply.

Similar to Grindelwald himself, the letter concisely invited Artes to come to Nurmengard for a detailed chat during the holidays, and he would give Artes an explanation.

And he will tell everything.

"Gellert..."

Aces murmured, "You really know."

The details of their previous interactions were reviewed, and Artes suddenly felt that Grindelwald's attitude towards him was a bit too submissive.

This is not the attitude you should have towards a junior, nor is it the attitude towards traders.

If I guessed correctly, it should be guilt.

So what are you feeling guilty about, Gellert?

Asseth thought for a moment and then answered the letters one by one.

Nina waited quietly aside, Xinqi sitting on her chair.

She has her own chair in the young master's study.

When she returns to the manor for the holidays, she will make sure to tell the other house elves, and they will be jealous of me.

Nina shook her legs happily.

"Nina, send the letter over."

Asses handed the written letter to Nina.

Nina seemed to have received something important and glorious, and she solemnly assured Asseth that she would deliver it safely.

Thinking of something, Asseth called Nina.

"By the way, Nina, have you ever found a house elf in Hogwarts that doesn't belong there."

"A house elf that doesn't belong at Hogwarts?"

Nina thought about it seriously, and then said uncertainly:

"Nina didn't pay attention, but Nina heard other house elves chatting. They said there was a strange house elf who didn't understand the rules at all."

"strangeness?"

Asseth repeated the word slowly, with no hint of happiness or anger in his tone.

But Nina knew that the young master was unhappy.

"Nina, after sending the letter, go and ask everything about this strange house elf."

"Okay, young master, Nina will definitely complete the task assigned to her by the young master."

Therefore, anyone who makes the young master unhappy is not a good person, and so is the strange house elf. Nina must capture him and hand him over to the young master.

Nina thought viciously.

Then, she snapped her fingers and disappeared into the dormitory.
