HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Mom, how was your conversation with Principal Dumbledore?"

Ace began to change the subject.

The Duke and Anna looked at each other, both a little funny. Their son had grown up and had a secret.

"We had a good chat, but are you sure you want to be the alchemy professor at Hogwarts?"

Ana walked over and sat down and said seriously.

"This is the most convenient for me. After all, I still have to watch Dumbledore. No one knows when something will happen to him."

Anna approached Artes and teased: "Huh? Is this really the case?"

"That's only one percent of the reason."

Wow! Will her son become so good after he regains consciousness?

Anna had an expression on her face that said, "I hit you, you can do whatever you want."

Then he looked at the Duke with disgust.

If I remember correctly, no one of his sons knew how to use this piece of wood at that time.

The Duke was disliked for no reason, and he couldn't say that his wife was not the same, so he could only glare at Asseth to vent his anger.

Asseth felt that he was innocent, and this was obviously what he meant.

"Ana, it's time for us to get down to business."

The Duke looked serious, interrupting Anna's disgust.

"Aces, after this meeting, your mother and I will go back to Germany and may not be with you for a long time."

The two looked at Asseth guiltily.

They had never left Asses away for that long, and not when he might have been in danger.

"I'm sorry, son."

Anna hugged Asseth, "But your grandmother doesn't have much time left. Even if I force my way in, I must accompany her on the last journey."

Aces patted Anna's back.

He comforted: "Grandma's body is the most important thing now. I'm sorry that I can't go there."

"No, son, you have your own business. This is our business and should not be your responsibility."

Anna let go of Asseth and was as serious as the Duke. The Duke also nodded and said:

"Athes, when we leave this time, all the power in the UK will be handed over to you. The decision you make is my decision."

Anna interrupted and explained: "Actually, we originally planned to hand over the position of head of the family to you directly, but we did not have enough time to hold the ceremony and banquet for handing over power, and your coming-of-age ceremony was not held either."

"That's enough. To be honest, I don't want my family to get involved in this matter."

"No, Asseth, you not only want the family to be involved, but also to be deeply involved."

The Duke interrupted with a frown.

"This crisis is both a crisis and an opportunity, and we believe you can get enough benefits and power from it."

"And Aces, why do you seem to have a misunderstanding of the strength of our family. Although our family is an English aristocracy, it has mainly developed in Germany in recent years. Most of its forces are also in Germany, and its roots in the UK are not deep."

"The real Cavendish is not as vulnerable as you think. I remember I mentioned that to you."

The Duke had a headache.

Because he and Anna married against the wishes of both families, they have not lived in the main Cavendish house, but in the ancestral home in England, Cavendish Manor, also known as Chatsworth Manor.

But he was always in control of Cavendish. He remembered that Asses should have had some contact with German affairs, so why did he still misjudge his own strength.

Asseth pursed his lips, "Father, I'm sorry."

Anna patted the Duke's arm on the side, "William, you can't blame Asseth for this. It concerns the family, and it's normal to be confused if you care."

Also, didn’t he himself let go of such mistakes? The Duke's face darkened as he remembered the stupidity he had committed before.

"In short, this is a good opportunity for us to expand. You can just go ahead and do it without worrying about anything else. Even if everything here is damaged, it won't be a big deal for us."

"You can use everyone the family has trained for you, including the vassals you have gathered over the years and the raven who protects you."

"Also, since you are ready to leave school, you must also start to get in touch with Muggle affairs, whether it is business or politics."

"You have been exposed to a lot of business over the years, so I won't go into details about it, but you should pay attention to politics.

"Last year, there was a big incident over the Bear. This year's parliament has just ended. They are arguing about the situation over the Bear. I am considered a conservative at the moment. Please pay attention to this when you have contact."

"Okay, Father."

Aces nodded in agreement. It was his responsibility to take over these burdens.

"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to, Father?"

The Duke thought for a moment and shook his head, "That's all for now."

"By the way, if you can, take control of the British Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. If necessary, you can kill Fudge directly. I remember that you have already isolated the people under him?"

"Yes, Father."

"Just be sensible."

The Duke was not targeting Fudge, but specifically.

Fudge caused a lot of trouble when he brought Anna to settle in England. Although it couldn't affect them, it was as annoying and disgusting as a fly.

If Artes hadn't wanted to attend Hogwarts, he would never have contacted the British Ministry of Magic.

Compared to the German Ministry of Magic, the British Ministry of Magic is no different from rotten wood.

The German Ministry of Magic felt aggrieved but did not say anything. Most of the top officials in the ministry were staffed by these nobles. With mutual checks and balances, how could it dare to rot?

"Father and mother."

Aces wiped the alchemy ring and took out the prepared gift.

"I can't accompany you to see your grandmother, but as a grandson, I still want to express my gratitude. I did most of these myself and passed them on to my grandparents and grandparents for me."

Anna took the gift from his hand, put it into her necklace, and hugged Asseth tenderly.

"They'll like you."

"Also...about Sif, would your grandparents and grandparents mind?"

"When it comes to this, I can tell you the exact answer. They won't mind. With our deviant couple here, as long as your significant other is not a rival of the two families, they will be happy to accept it."

This answer undoubtedly relieved Asseth. He would not change his mind because of this, but he was unwilling to let Sifu not be accepted.

Anna knew how he felt, and so did the Duke.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both recalling the feeling of worrying about each other at that time. There was no difference between them at that time and Artes now.

"Okay, today's meeting is over. If the next meeting goes well, we will be at the main house in Cavendish, Germany."

Aces knew what the Duke meant. The next meeting would be his succession ceremony and his coming-of-age ceremony.

The Cavendish family is different from the eighteen-year-old in the wizarding world, which uses twenty as the adult limit.

Aces will be twenty next year, which is one of the reasons why the Duke and Anna must go back.
