HP: Embrace the Darkness

The window opened too quickly, and before Asseth could react, a wand was pressed against his throat.

Snape looked at the man in black in front of him, who was covered in black robes and had suspicious writing all over his body, but it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Because Asseth's back was to the moon and his hood was large, completely covering his entire face, Snape did not see clearly that it was him.

"who are you?"

Aces swore that he had never been so caught between a rock and a hard place.

I neither know how to explain my behavior, nor can I explain this behavior.

Why was he so impulsive just now? Why don't you go through the front door? At least it will be polite in terms of attitude.

Hearing no answer, the wand pressed forward threateningly and stabbed Artes' Adam's apple hard.

Snape showed no mercy, and Artes almost coughed out from the poke.

There was a clear pain in my throat.

"If you remain silent, then...my wand will teach you how to speak?"

Accompanying Snape's threat, the tip of the wand lit up with a distinct green light.

Artes knew that Snape was not joking, and he did not dare to remain silent at the moment.

"Sev."

A familiar voice came from the hood.

Snape was startled, as if he didn't know how to adjust to the situation in front of him, and his expression suddenly went blank.

The green light of the wand in his hand flickered back and forth with each breath, reflecting the owner's current fluctuating thoughts.

Aces also didn't know what to do. His mind was in confusion and he didn't dare to remove Snape's wand, so he could only step back carefully.

In the chaos, the magic power fluctuated unsteadily, and his body swayed suddenly, as if he was about to fall.

Snape's pupils suddenly tightened, and he quickly removed the wand pointed at Artes, not forgetting to lift his hood with the tip of the wand as he moved it away.

The moment he saw clearly that it was Asseth, he stretched out his left hand, suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him back, his knuckles turned blue and white under the force.

In order to prevent the bastard who climbed out of his window in the middle of the night from falling and falling to death in front of his house, Snape didn't even dare to let go after he stabilized his body.

Instead, he asked in this posture.

"Please explain to me, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Anger mixed with coolness was transmitted to Asseth along the Potion Master's hand holding his collar.

Aces shuddered from the cold and began to worry about the explanation again.

Snape, however, had no intention of continuing this strange stalemate with him at the window in the middle of the night.

Using another force on his hand, he pulled the dazed Ass inside.

Aces was still thinking about how to explain. His body subconsciously moved along with Snape's strength, and when he touched the window sill, he still managed to push over with his hands.

This is awkward.

Snape didn't expect that Artes would remember to climb through the window when he was confused and out of context, so he used a little too much force.

Under the influence of inertia, he was pinned down by the oncoming Asseth. He staggered back a few steps, trying to maintain the balance of the two.

At this moment, the retreating calves were blocked by the bed in the center of the room.

There is no balance now.

Snape fell onto the bed, and with him fell Asseth, who was being held by his collar.

The feeling of weightlessness brought Arthur back to his senses, and he reacted quickly.

One hand was placed on the back of Snape's head to protect his head, the other hand was supporting the bed, and his knees were also on the edge of the bed to support himself.

When everything was settled, the Potions Master discovered that he had been banged on the bed by accident.

Aces reacted quickly. The fallen Snape did not suffer any impact, and the weight on him was also minimal.

But he still wanted to get rid of the culprit of this matter.

"Get away from me." Snape frowned, looking at Artes who was looking at him absentmindedly.

Aces blinked, but did not obey Snape's words and stood up.

Instead, he relaxed the strength of his left hand and allowed himself to press firmly against Snape.

At the same time, he rubbed the side of Snape's face affectionately and lightly smelled the familiar scent on his body.

His breath was hot and spread on his neck, quickly warming his cold neck.

It was rare for Artes not to listen to Snape's words, and Snape was used to Artes always following his lead.

Now Aces' sudden "rebellion" made him somewhat uncomfortable, especially now that the two of them were so close, so the potion master went crazy.

"What the hell are you crazy about?"

"It's not that I'm crazy, it's just that... I miss you."

"Without you here, I can't sleep at all, I won't have nightmares at all, and I can't even use potions."

Aces retorted in a muffled voice, and his voice was low enough that you didn't need to distinguish it.

Snape's burst of anger suddenly stopped, and his raised hand hesitated in mid-air for a moment, and finally fell on Ass's head, rubbing it twice.

"If our young Master Asseth's noble brain is still used for memory, he should remember that the vacation has only been for a few days."

"And maybe I have a good memory and remember someone saying yes."

The Potion Master's sarcasm arrived late, but at the end of the sentence, his slightly raised voice was inexplicably filled with laughter.

Aces had given up struggling and even thought it would be nice to embarrass himself and make Snape happy.

"I overestimated myself."

For a moment, Snape felt that he had heard wrongly, otherwise why could he hear pride in Artes' words.

He said "tsk", once again refreshing the impression that Artes was shameless.

"Have you pressed enough? Get up."

Snape's hand moved down, pinched Artes' neck, and scolded lazily.

This time Artes didn't cheat and got up honestly, not forgetting to help Snape up as well.

"There is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Asseth to answer for me, why he climbed... the window."

Snape obviously hadn't forgotten to settle the score, and started questioning him as soon as he sat up.

Aces sat down next to him.

"I didn't mean to do it. I didn't plan to come in at first. I just saw your light was still on and thought you were brewing the potion. I was worried that you would stay up too late, so I impulsively climbed through the window."

"I really didn't mean to."

Not planning to come in?

Snape frowned unconsciously and rubbed his fingertips on the bed. He didn't know what to say to Artes for a moment.

Call him stupid, but he knows how to push the envelope even further.

Call him smart, but he often does these stupid things.

And everything is obviously so stupid, but it always makes people feel soft and grouped inexplicably.

But stupid is stupid, he said.

The potion master stamped Asseth with an expressionless expression.

But I haven't seen this person so stupid usually?

Or is it like what Susanna who punched the stupid dog said before - her brain is filled with water?
