HP: Embrace the Darkness

As the protagonist of the banquet, Aces naturally received an excessive amount of attention.

He finally took the time to come over and say two words to Snape, but the third sentence was yet to be uttered.

Two waves of people came forward to fish in troubled waters.

At that moment, Asseth regretted that the confusion spell just confused what they saw.

Rather than directly letting them not see where he is.

Merlin is on top, can't he and Sif be alone for a while?

Skillfully putting on a smile, Asseth declined before they could speak.

He said he declined politely, but his tone began to become tougher. Later, he even bluntly said that he had something to discuss and it was not convenient to be disturbed.

The people who came here all had the idea of ​​making good friends, but when they saw Asseth, they didn't want to talk in detail.

Then he followed his wishes and left.

Snape, who witnessed everything: "You should go deal with business instead of wasting time here."

"How can it be a waste of time? My office has not been decided yet."

Aces was confident.

"Professor, do you really not want to consider taking me in in Slytherin? I just need an office."

Snape curled his lips, remembering Dumbledore's unreliability just now, and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

"Do I have a choice?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Asces' face visibly faded.

Snape couldn't help but frown.

He was used to speaking in retorts, and now he was more relaxed than usual. For a moment, he forgot that the person speaking was Asseth.

"...Yes, the professor can choose to refuse."

After a moment of silence, Asseth returned to his smile.

He just bent his fingertips and tapped the wine glass unconsciously, making a crisp sound.

I feel even more impatient towards people who are ready to get closer.

"Slytherin's empty classroom, you choose."

Artes turned his head to look at Snape in surprise, but only saw Snape calmly drinking the juice in his hand.

"Or do you want to go somewhere else?"

"Of course not, I was just thinking about which classroom is closer to the cellar."

Aces immediately climbed up the bar.

"Of course, I wouldn't mind staying in the cellar either."

Snape felt that this man was becoming more and more shameless.

"What is going on in your head?"

It's obviously not like this in normal times.

"Miss you."

The answer didn't even require a thought for Asseth.

But this stimulation was a bit too much for the Potions Master. Artes also knew it, so before Snape's sharp eye-dagger struck, he quickly took out a blade of grass.

"By the way, Professor, this is what my cousin found in a forest before. It can effectively alleviate the sequelae of the curse. I haven't tested the others yet."

As expected, the potions master was attracted by the leaves and had no time to care about what Ass had just said.

Snape carefully took the leaf and carefully observed its texture.

"I haven't seen this herb in books, so I brought it to the professor to see. My cousin has its root, and I've had it cultivated."

After Asseth's introduction, Snape had almost finished reading.

"It's indeed not in the book. Do you have a potions room here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Snape realized that it was inappropriate. No matter the time or the occasion, it was not the best time to study.

Just as he was about to change his words, Asseth smiled softly.

"How did the professor know that I had someone set up a potions room in the castle?"

"But it's not convenient for me to leave now, so I can only let Elise take the professor."

Ace's tone was full of regret.

What a great opportunity to get along, suddenly ran away from my hands.

"Elise also knows where these herbs are planted, but they haven't been planted for long and haven't grown much yet. I only have so many here."

Ace took out a ring from his pocket.

This is the alchemy ring he usually wears. Today he wore the clan emblem tail ring and did not wear it.

"The professor should know how to use this ring. All the herbs are in it, and the missing items in the potion room should also be in it. The professor can use it as he likes."

Aces put the ring into Snape's pocket at lightning speed, giving him no chance to refuse.

"I'm going to find Elise."

This connection is extremely smooth to operate.

By the time Snape wanted to stop him, Artes had already arrived in front of Elise.

Elise, who was wearing a green dress, apologized to the person she communicated with and then walked towards Asseth.

"Sir, do you need me to do anything?"

"Take the dean to the potion room. All his requests will be met. If you can't help it, go to Albert. Albert knows what to do."

Elise didn't understand what Asseth was going to do, but she would never go against Ass's words, so she nodded in agreement immediately.

"Okay, sir."

Artes took Elise and walked back to Snape through the ballroom.

Since Artes has made arrangements, Snape will naturally not refuse.

His interest in this new herb was already very high, but he tempered it due to the occasion.

Elise found a place not far from the two of them to wait.

Aces briefly introduced the situation of the castle to Snape, then turned around and prepared to leave.

He had declined many people just now, but there were still many people who needed him to communicate in person.

"and many more."

Putting down his just-raised feet, Artes immediately turned back to look at Snape who stopped him.

"You just said that you have tried the effect of this herb in removing the sequelae of the curse."

Snape's brows furrowed.

"I tried, but the curse didn't work on me, so it was just a cold feeling that was removed. Professor, do you need my help?"

Aces was a little hesitant, he couldn't leave the field for the time being.

"What happened to the curse?"

Snape did not answer Artes's words, but asked another question.

Aces's expression suddenly became a little guilty.

He still remembered Snape's face as he bandaged his wound that day. As a result, the wound was cursed again before it healed. What should he say?

"...I was attacked when I was doing a mission in Knockturn Alley, but as you know, the curse had no effect on me, so I didn't feel anything at the time."

The more Asseth explained, the more unclear he felt. Snape just looked at him quietly and said nothing.

The pressure on Assis is increasing.

"Well, when I found out that he was the target of my mission, he was already preparing to leave. I was afraid that the tracking spell would not catch him, so I left his curse behind.

Later, I tried to test out the effect of his curse, but it was not removed immediately. "

"Should I praise you for being smart or stupid?"

"If it's you, you can praise me any way you want."

Aces now turned his back to the others, so he didn't have to worry about them seeing inappropriate expressions.

So he smiled at Snape to please him.

Snape felt like he was almost laughing at this bastard.
