HP: Embrace the Darkness

Nina jumped up and down happily. She didn't often see such lively scenes. Now that Asses was willing to take her here, she didn't know how happy she was.

"Master Asseth! Nina is late."

Aces nodded with a smile and followed the bouncing Nina into the lively camp.

After passing through a large area of ​​densely packed tents, everyone came to a slightly less crowded area.

The tents here are not densely packed and are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the road.

The wizards coming and going were all chatting softly, which was a little less atmospheric than the area they just passed by.

But Asseth liked it here better.

Their tent was at the very end, and next door was a magnificent tent.

Although using the word "glorious" is a bit exaggerated, Asses and others felt that it was unnecessary to describe it. After all, they had never seen a tent with gems and gold inlaid on it.

"Is this the Malfoy family's tent?" Artes turned around and asked Nina.

Nina nodded. She had seen the Malfoy family's signature platinum blonde hair here several times today. With this style, it was definitely them.

"It seems like we can be more gorgeous next time."

In two steps, Asseth determined how gorgeous the next auction item would be.

Returning to his tent, Asses allowed the Ravens and others to move around as they pleased, but they had to return to the tent before the game started and attend with him.

He did not hold out any hope for the defense work of the British Ministry of Magic. When chaos broke out, they would be able to control the situation in time.

For the twelve Ravens, Ass's words were orders. Now that they received the order, they did not ignore their responsibilities, but worked in pairs to investigate near the tent.

Artes only said to let them move freely, but in their hearts, free movement was far less important than Artes' safety, not to mention that checking for dangers was also included in the scope of free movement.

Since they were willing to do this, Asses didn't stop them and returned to his room in the tent to start preparing for tonight's opening ceremony.

The tent was peaceful, with everyone doing their own things, but the world outside the tent was reduced to a carnival feast.

Wizards of different skin colors and races arrived one after another in the following time. Various languages ​​were spoken from their mouths, and laughter and singing spread throughout the tent gathering area.

Surrounded by such a lively and noisy atmosphere, the Quidditch World Cup kicked off soon.

As night falls, the sky blooms with brilliant colors, celebrating and announcing the arrival of time.

Green and white lights turned on at this moment, drawing a road from the tent gathering area to the stadium on the ground.

Aces changed his clothes, took the sterling silver parrot, sunflower and ebony cane that he had previously auctioned, and took a group of people on the journey to the stadium.

Their position was closer to the inside and they were the last to leave. They didn't meet many people along the way.

Passing through a large forest, a huge stadium came into view.

This is their destination.

When we got here, there were suddenly more people, and the bustling crowd formed a long line, and the wizard officials who checked the tickets checked one by one before they could enter.

But as Fudge's guests, Asseth and the others did not need to line up. After showing the invitations in their hands, a wizard wearing a long pleated skirt grabbed the target and trotted out to greet them.

After checking the authenticity of the invitation in Artes' hand, the wizard official quickly smiled and respectfully led the way for Artes and his party.

"Master Cavendish, please come this way."

The interior of the stadium is much larger than it looks on the outside. There is a huge Quidditch pitch in the middle, surrounded by boxes next to each other. From bottom to top, the higher the boxes, the more exquisite and expensive they are. The requirements for identity are also higher.

Although he accepted the invitation from Fudge and others, considering that he could not divide it into three parts, Asseth still opened a box on the top floor to see for himself.

A purple carpet with large patterns was spread up the stairs until the top was invisible.

The officials who guided Asseth and the others only sent them to the interface between the lower-class box and the middle-class box.

His task today is to pick up the distinguished guests. He cannot leave the door for too long. This is the limit of the distance he can reach. If it is further away, he may not be able to receive other distinguished guests in time.

Aces understood his difficulty, comforted him casually, and took the lead to go up.

Several people walked through the stairs and saw two bright platinum heads at a corner of the stairs.

Draco and Lucius seemed to be looking up at something, not noticing the person coming behind them.

Looking along their line of sight, Artes saw a few familiar people - the savior and his little friends, the Weasley family.

As they got closer, Lucius' slightly mean and sarcastic voice reached several people's ears. In a nutshell, he said that the Weasley family was poor.

Aces didn't intend to interfere with their dispute, but Lucius and Draco happened to be blocking their way, so they had no choice but to walk through.

Lucius and Draco were both wearing black suits, with the same disdain on their similar faces.

Feeling someone coming from the corner of his eye, Lucius stopped taunting and tapped Draco with his stick, signaling that he should shut up.

Before the cane hit Draco, it was blocked by Ace's cane.

Lucius was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that someone was stopping him in public, and turned back with a little anger on his face.

Seeing that it was Asseth, he softened his expression.

"elder brother!"

Draco received Lucius's instructions and permission, and now he had no scruples outside, and he started shouting happily when he saw Asseth.

Aces used his cane to hook the cheering peacock to his side, "Lucius, please lend Draco to accompany me to meet a few people."

Draco had never been very smart in front of Artes. Since Artes said so, he stood beside Artes obediently and nodded stupidly to his father.

Lucius was overjoyed and happy to see that Aces brought Draco to see people.

He knew exactly what this meant.

Moreover, there are so many people around Asseth, so he doesn’t need to worry about safety issues.

Lucius casually told Draco to obey him, and then he became the shopkeeper with peace of mind.

Due to some things, Mrs. Malfoy Narcissa came a little late, and now she has just reached the position of a few people.

Seeing Draco following Aces and smiling silly at her, she seemed to understand something, said hello and walked towards Lucius.

Aces raised his head slightly, nodded to the little witch with bright eyes, and said hello to the other Weasleys before leaving.

He didn't even look at Harry the whole time.

He was tired of wiping the savior's butt, and although Harry might not have meant it that way, he still had to be blamed for the trouble he caused.

If he guessed correctly, he might have to go fishing for the savior later, which would be troublesome just thinking about it.
