HP: Embrace the Darkness

That was what the Duke and Anna said.

But Asseth knew that their efforts to persuade Adrian and Herman would end in a round of verbal abuse.

So after weighing the pros and cons, they chose to persuade Ass to give up his struggle.

After all, either Asseth will be brainwashed, or they will be baptized with saliva.

Which one is more important, they have already made their choice.

As for Laila and Iris, they were immersed in the arrangements for the banquet for Asseth and had no time to care about their old man.

For them, as long as the two of them don't fight, they can just let them do whatever they want.

Time passed quickly as Adrian and Herman fought in the air and spit.

Finally, the day of the party arrived.

-

"Quickly, send this upstairs, eh! Why haven't the branches here been trimmed yet?"

"Okay Butler Albert, I'll fix it right away."

"Move quickly, wave your magic wands, cheer me up, and don't make any mistakes."

Albert carefully directed the servants to decorate the castle.

Today is the most solemn day for the castle owners, and there is no room for them to be negligent.

The icy castle is surrounded by all kinds of magic, and becomes exquisite, gorgeous and full of charm from the inside out.

While everyone was busy, night fell.

During the day, the solemn castle lit up with lights like stars, lighting up the entire castle and the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is as bright and brilliant as daytime, glowing with a strange brilliance under various lights.

All kinds of vehicles came one after another.

There are modern cars and horse-drawn carriages pulled from the sky by all kinds of strange and magical animals.

After getting off the car, this group of luxuriously dressed people appeared as the final decoration of the castle.

Albert directed the servants to park and arrange the various magical creatures for the distinguished guests.

Guests follow the servant's guidance and step into this magnificent castle.

In the banquet hall in the castle, the newly arrived guests quickly found someone they knew well to toast and communicate.

Drinking and drinking together, so happy.

When they chatted, the topic was naturally inseparable from the owner here.

Some people expressed emotion and others were disdainful of the generosity and respect shown by the Cavendish and Muller families to Asseth.

"They say we have a good family background, but Master Cavendish is of a good family background. Even the two rival families are willing to put aside their differences and hold a banquet for him."

"No, it's well known in Germany that Cavendish and Muller have a bad relationship. Now it's really embarrassing for them to have a drink together."

The noble lady shook the wine glass in her hand, and Ruo Youruowu looked at Adrian and Herman who were toasting and drinking not far away.

Adrian and Herman seemed to be aware of this, and turned back to look in the direction of the lady.

The man next to the lady was anxious.

"Don't say a few words at other people's banquets."

"Humph!"

The movement here attracted the attention of many people.

Even the professors who came from Hogwarts and were eating and drinking in the corner heard it.

Everyone had different expressions.

Dumbledore ate his dessert happily.

While eating, he was still thinking about sending a house elf from Hogwarts to steal his master.

You really can’t blame him. The cookies made by the servants in this castle are so delicious!

He declared that cookies were his favorite!

The juice, which was about the same color as wine, was pretty good, but a little bland and not sweet enough. Maybe he could ask the house elf to add more sugar.

Dumbledore happily imagined the food reform at Hogwarts.

There was a smile on his face, as if he had seen him enjoying delicious food at Hogwarts.

The stern Professor McGonagall was still wearing a wizard's robe today, but the wizard's robe was more decorated than usual, and the whole person looked a little softer.

But now the witch, who had rarely softened, frowned.

The familiar disapproval of the little wizard from Hogwarts was on his brow. Apparently, she didn't like these words directed at her students.

Taking into account the current dinner party, Professor McGonagall did not act out of the ordinary, just sighed and sighed.

"It's not easy for Asseth either."

"When will it be easy for that kid? I heard from some friends that Asseth now represents two families in the British wizarding world."

Flitwick, wearing a scaled-down formal suit, nodded in agreement.

"He was busy enough when he was at Hogwarts. He hardly saw anyone except in class. Now he is even busier."

Professor Flitwick said, looking at Snape aside.

"Speaking of which, the person who knows the most about Artes is probably Severus."

Professor McGonagall's eyes followed Professor Flitwick's words and moved to Snape, who had been silent.

"Severus, it's really beyond my expectation that you're going to the appointment today, and you're dressed so...not in the best of moods.

But the way you dress now is what you should wear at your age. Don't wear your black robe every day. "

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Snape slowly looked at his clothes.

"I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with my eyes. The clothes I'm wearing are also black, and there's no difference between them and my black robe."

"No, Severus, I mean that button of yours that has been eaten more times than Albus has eaten dessert."

A smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's usually serious face.

Snape was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that a serious witch like Professor McGonagall would make a joke on him.

Professor McGonagall saw his confusion in his brief pause.

"This is at Asseth's banquet. I am just a guest now, not a professor who needs to discipline the little wizard."

Dumbledore came over and interjected:

"Minerva is right, Severus, relax. This is not Hogwarts. You don't need to scare those little wizards with a straight face."

While he was talking, he didn't forget to take two more cookies from the side.

This action was immediately discovered by Professor McGonagall.

"Albus, you have eaten too many desserts recently! Severus doesn't have time to make a tooth-strengthening potion for you right now."

Dumbledore waved his hand nonchalantly, but before he could say the perfunctory words, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Several people noticed something strange and looked at the others.

I found that they were all looking in the same direction - the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, stood the protagonist of tonight's party.

Aces was wearing a dark-patterned black dress, with a snake made of emerald fragments on the sleeves winding up to his shoulders.

The raised snake head bears the clan emblem, and the snake eyes made of opal shine with mysterious light. It stares at everyone with coldness and majesty, silently declaring the master's dignity.

This is a very outstanding dress, but most people, especially the heads of various families, focus on Asses's hands.

Expensive handmade silk white gloves cover the entire palm, leaving no gaps exposed.

Wearing a golden ring on her little finger, there is a small and delicate pattern on the ring.

The whole place fell silent for an instant, and there was no other sound except for the footsteps of Asseth going downstairs.

Among the professors, only Dumbledore, who understood the family culture, understood why the entire audience was silent.

The other professors looked confused. Seeing that no one spoke, they also learned to remain silent.

Silence remained for some time.

Aces was halfway downstairs when the silence was broken by a small voice.

"Merlin, am I right? That is the clan emblem tail ring on Master Cavendish's hand..."

Like a drop of water in a boiling oil pan, the banquet hall instantly became lively.
