HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Sirius Black, right?"

"If you can't learn to speak properly, then I guarantee that you, a fugitive, will never walk out of this room alive."

Aces took a step forward, the cold murderous intent on his body wrapped around Sirius, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, sticky and cold.

"You have to know one thing, it would be easy for me to kill you."

After saying that, Artes ignored Sirius's reaction and turned his gaze to Peter, who was quietly squirming in the corner, trying to escape.

"And you, do you choose to be tied up here, or to be torn apart by me."

Peter Pettigrew knew a little about Asseth and knew that he would definitely do what he said, so he immediately settled down and huddled in the corner without making any other moves.

Seeing that he was interested, Artes looked at Harry.

"As for you, Mr. Potter, let me answer your question. I tied Lupine because he is a werewolf. And today is the night of the full moon. If you want to become a werewolf, I don't care."

Snape's expression changed when he heard what Artes said. He looked at Lupine and asked sternly: "You didn't drink the wolfsbane potion today?"

Lu Ping also thought about this problem and quickly stepped back to distance himself from everyone.

His reaction made everyone understand his answer.

Snape subconsciously moved closer to Arthas.

Sensing Snape's movements, Artes turned his body slightly to block Snape behind him.

Hermione and Ron were also retreating, especially Ron, who was well aware of the horrors of werewolves.

Harry was still confused, so he was pulled back by Hermione. When the little witch stepped back, she didn't forget to explain to Harry.

"Wolfsbane potion can keep werewolves sane. If Professor Lupine didn't drink it, he would lose control."

"Why don't you drink the wolfsbane potion."

Snape was still questioning.

Lupine looked pale and said with difficulty: "I forgot."

Snape laughed angrily at this ridiculous answer, "Then why did you remember to take your head out to bask in the moonlight?"

Lu Ping was at a loss and could only try to lean into the corner and stay as far away from other people as possible.

His movements were fully visible to Asseth.

"Let's get out of here first."

Aces looked away and looked at Snape.

Snape glanced at Sirius unwillingly and nodded angrily.

"You three go ahead."

Artes waved his wand, pulled Sirius and Peter to his side, and said to the three Harrys.

Hermione and Ron pulled Harry from left to right and headed towards the door.

After they walked out, Artes looked at Snape and motioned for him to go out first.

Snape glanced hesitantly at Lupin.

Artes smiled at him reassuringly and mouthed silently, "Animagus."

Snape felt a little relieved. He almost forgot that Artes could transform into a white tiger.

"Be careful."

Before leaving, Snape couldn't help but warn him.

Aces nodded with a smile.

Once they were all out, Artes waved his wand and pulled Sirius and Peter over so they could walk in front.

"Lupin, let's go, I'll hold your hand."

While speaking, Asseth once again strengthened the restraints on Lupine, turning the gravel into thick hemp rope and tying it to Lupine to make it easier for him to pull.

Lupine's skin was red from the hemp rope, but he said nothing or complained.

Just following Asseth quietly.

A few people walked in the secret passage in silence, and some time had passed since Snape was the last to leave.

There were only four of them in the secret passage.

Artes was thinking about destroying the Shrieking Shack, Lupine was still worried about whether he would hurt anyone, Sirius was staring at Peter beside him, and Peter was thinking about ways to escape.

The four people had different thoughts and no one spoke.

Soon, a little light appeared in front of my eyes.

Lupine paused, as if he saw something terrible.

"It's moonlight."

he said to Asseth.

"The moon is out."

His voice became hoarse, and Sirius immediately turned around, "He's going to turn into a werewolf, let go of me, Harry and the others are still outside."

Sirius wanted to stop Lupine and protect his godson.

"If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't be there by now."

Aces looked at the light in front calmly, dragged them forward, and plunged into the light.

But surprisingly, Harry and others did not leave, and were confronting Snape outside.

The sound of Aces coming out attracted their attention.

Snape was the first to look over and saw Lupine, who was already transforming next to Artes, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Come here! Ah——"

Lupine turns into a werewolf.

I don't know why he gave up on Asseth and the others who were closest, and rushed straight towards Harry and the others.

Snape's face was pale, and he stretched out his hand to stop the three of them behind him, but he felt unexpectedly calm inside.

As long as Asses is here, he won't lose.

The scene of the werewolf charging at Snape with its claws bared completely angered Artes, who had been depressed all night.

A strong anger flashed in Asseth's eyes, and his pupils were red with anger.

He waved his wand and released the restraints on Sirius.

The next second, a white tiger appeared across the sky.

The first thing the white tiger did when he appeared was to roar and pounce on the werewolf.

The werewolf didn't even have a chance to get close to Snape before he was thrown down by the angry white tiger.

The werewolf twisted his body and tried to resist.

The white tiger opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar to vent his anger. His white teeth shone coldly in the moonlight.

Standing up, he raised his broad tiger palm and struck the werewolf with one palm after another.

Suppressed by size and blood, the werewolf was powerless to fight back at the hands of the furious white tiger.

The strength of the waving palms became stronger and stronger, and the wind blew along the way.

Snape was watching Artes' movements not far away, and the fear of werewolves in his heart was defeated by the white tiger's palm one after another, and dissipated with the wind.

What replaced it was a sense of inner peace, little but enough to heal the scars of youth.

Sirius, who was released from his restraints, didn't know which muscle was wrong. He transformed into an Animagus and instead of pounced on the werewolf, he pounced on the white tiger that was suppressing the two of them.

The white tiger's ears moved slightly, feeling the sound of the wind, and roared again.

The body of the black dog that rushed towards him froze, and was immediately slapped away by the angry white tiger.

This palm left no force at all, and the fierce wind could even be heard by Snape and Harry who were watching.

"He won't be beaten to death."

Ron whispered in Harry's ear. When Harry heard Ron's words, his face turned pale and he ran out from behind Snape without hesitation.

Snape watched him run out coldly, showing no intention of stopping him.

"That's enough, Professor Cavendish."

No one at the scene responded to Harry's words.

On the ground not far away, the black dog struggled to get up, staggered past Harry, opened its mouth and pounced on the white tiger again.

This time, the white tiger turned a deaf ear to the black dog's attack, and the strength of his hand holding down the werewolf was slightly reduced, while he was still counting silently in his mind.

"Three, two, one"
