HP: Embrace the Darkness

Asses didn't expect that he would miss it.

The Unicorn Valley was deserted, mist lingered, and the cold was raging. Several unicorns lazily nestled together to keep warm, as if silently mocking him for being alone.

Fortunately, Cynthia, who was hiding among the beasts, found her conscience and kindly showed him the way.

Snape and Draco were at the place where Artes first met Estella's family, and when Cynthia gave her the approximate location, he remembered it.

When Asseth went there, the contract had reached the final step - Draco and Estela stood opposite each other, and a dazzling silver light exploded from the corners of their connected hands, completely covering them.

Snape was the first to notice Artes appearing quietly, "They are making a contract, have you finished meeting them?"

"That's it."

Aces stood next to Snape.

This situation was not suitable for chatting now, so the two quieted down and waited for the contract to end.

After the light, there were clear silver threads, which jumped lightly from Estella's body to Draco's body, tightly holding the person and the beast together.

Then it gradually blends into the skin and disappears.

The silver light turned into snow-like spots and disappeared, revealing Estella and Draco inside.

As soon as Estella opened her eyes, she saw Asseth standing next to Snape. It immediately rushed towards Asseth happily without caring about the little friend it had just made a contract with.

"Aces! You're here!"

Little Cannonball still had no self-awareness of its own physical attack power, causing Artes to stumble.

Asseth held its head helplessly, "Be careful next time. If I avoid you and fail to stop the car, you will hit a tree."

There happened to be a big tree behind him.

Estella raised her head and looked at Asseth with trust, "But you won't hide away."

"Not always."

Aces teased it with great interest.

Then he was satisfied when he saw the little unicorn in front of him taking three steps back in disbelief.

childish!

Snape tugged his lips with a slight smile, but the disgust in his eyes was so obvious that he suppressed the less obvious smile.

"I'm scaring you." Aces rubbed Estela's furry head, "Come on, tell me what happened and why you suddenly pulled Draco into a contract."

"I...I'll tell you."

Draco, who had just opened his eyes, didn't even have time to take back his breath before he hurried over.

Artes didn't know what happened, but Snape next to him witnessed the whole process, and now the smile in his eyes became real.

"Let me tell you."

Draco heard these words just as he swallowed the breath, and couldn't take a breath.

“Cough cough cough—the director of the hospital!”

His eyes were shocked, as if he couldn't believe Snape would say such a thing.

Choose one of the three, no, you don’t have to choose at all.

"Sev, what's going on?"

This time, Asseth's curiosity was really aroused by the two of them.

Snape looked at Arthas meaningfully.

"I'm sorry that Lucius's peacock almost got a unicorn daughter-in-law, and you almost got a unicorn sister-in-law."

Draco was numb.

Since when did their dean become so good at bullying people and making fun of them?

After hearing Snape's explanation, Asseth's eyes lingered on Estela and Draco, with indescribable subtlety...and regret.

"So my sister-in-law is gone?"

"Brother!" Draco said angrily, "Why are you like this? It's because Estella is ignorant."

"Just kidding, isn't this a failure?"

Aces rubbed Draco's head like he was rubbing Estella, and then pushed him to Estella's side.

"Besides, aren't you quite a match? Right, Antonio and Cloris."

The two unicorn parents looked at each other quietly for a long time, their eyes soft, as if what they were squeezing was not their child Estella.

Hearing Asseth's name, he nodded.

"Asais, you say I'm angry again!"

Although Estella is not very smart, it also knows that Aces and Snape have joined forces to bully it and Draco.

"Okay, no more joking." Asseth suppressed his smile and regained his composure, "Tell me, Estela, what effect your contract will have."

The brief slapstick made everyone and the beasts present relax, and the snow on the branches fell a little, almost hitting Estella who was about to speak.

Seeing this, Asseth raised his hand and pressed it down.

The milky white energy settled, and the moment it touched the ground, the greenery spread across the soles of every person and every beast, forming a circle with Asseth as the center.

The flowers bloomed in an instant, and the fragrance was astonishing.

This is the first time that the power of authority appears outside of pure white space.

Snape looked at the green grass and flowers at his feet in surprise, then turned his gaze to the thick snow a few steps away.

In addition to him, Antonio and Cloris also lowered their heads curiously, smelling the smell of green grass.

"It seems to be real grass." Antonio wasn't sure, so he simply said, "It's real."

It spat out the grass from its mouth.

"Aces, how did you do it?"

The two beasts circled around Asseth in surprise.

Perhaps only Draco, who was still struggling with the squeeze just now, and Estela, who was already having fun on the grass, didn't realize how incredible this was.

Aces raised his index finger mysteriously, "Secret."

"I want to hear any secrets."

Estella, who had finished running around the circle, happened to hear what Ases said and immediately came over excitedly.

"Don't be so curious, and...do you have anything left to say?"

Aces pushed its leaning head away.

Estella shook her head and thought for a while, "It seems so. Is the contract effective? By the way! I made a contract with Draco so that he can understand me and we can chat every day in the future!"

Aces looked at Draco, who nodded helplessly.

"I can understand it now, but after I understood it, I realized that it seemed a little too active."

Thinking of the constant chatter in his ears during the contract process, Draco was very worried about his ears.

He shouldn't be deaf, right?

Aces understood his feelings very well. When he first understood, Estella was so excited that his ears didn't rest for several days.

I wonder if there are too few humans who can bark with unicorns. Every unicorn is particularly talkative, especially the younger ones.

It seems good to have someone taking his place now.

Adhering to the concept of working hard for others and letting yourself go, Ace patted Draco on the shoulder.

"You are good friends. You have to tolerate Estella. Moreover, her age is only three years old, which is still a child. Can you refuse a child?"

Draco wanted to say yes, but when he lowered his head, he could see Estella's round, expectant eyes.

Damn, how can he be so kind.

"I can not."

Estela was happy and ran wildly.
