HP: Embrace the Darkness

For this intuition, Assest found a directional teleportation prop that Anna had given him before.

The day before going to the auction, Artes secretly left Hogwarts and set the teleportation location at a secret place in Diagon Alley.

After doing all this, he felt a little more relieved.

The time soon came to Christmas Day.

The little wizards who stayed in school were happily opening their gifts.

After Asseth finished washing, he snapped his fingers.

The house elf Nina appeared in response.

This was specially sent by Anna not long ago because she was worried that he would not be able to live well alone at Hogwarts.

"Nina, please help me sort the gifts I received."

Nina was very happy that her little master needed her, and she excitedly went out to sort the gifts.

After Asseth changed his clothes and went out, he saw three neat piles of gifts.

The first pile of presents was for Anna and the Duke.

This was the first thing Asses dismantled.

Anna's gifts were several sets of exquisite and luxurious clothes, including decorations, stuffed into several packages.

Asses asked Nina to help him put it in his closet.

Then we went to look at the Duke's gift. The Duke's gift was much simpler. It was a key, the key to Gringotts.

Asses took the key and lamented that his net worth had increased again.

Putting the keys away, Asseth looked at the other piles of gifts.

Among the piles of gifts were Elise's handmade scarf, the twins' candies, Carter's quills, and gifts from various families.

Just no gift from Professor Snape.

Artes continued to read without giving up, and looked at all the gifts again before confirming that Professor Snape did not give him a gift.

Aces thought with regret, he thought he had a chance to get a bottle of potion produced by the potion master.

Then Asseth stood up and directed Nina to pack her things.

In the cellar at this time

Snape also happened to get up and open the presents. Unlike Artes, Snape usually did it himself.

He first used magic to separate the gifts into one pile for colleagues, one pile for friends, and one pile for others.

After dividing them up, he carefully cast the inspection spell on each gift.

As a former Death Eater, there were too many people who wanted his life.

After checking to make sure there was nothing wrong, Snape started to open the gift.

The gifts from several professors were relatively rare potion materials.

After all, he is a potion master, so most of the gifts he receives are potion ingredients.

Lucius gave a gorgeous cufflink, and Snape pressed it into the bottom box without caring.

All that's left is the pile of gifts from other people.

Coincidentally, the first gift Snape picked up was a gift from Artes.

Snape opened it casually and took a casual look. His originally casual expression suddenly changed, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He quickly moved the entire gift box to the workbench and carefully took out the materials inside.

There are many kinds of materials, and Asseth divided them into categories.

The feathers and tears of the phoenix, the blood of the unicorn, the hair of the unicorn and the blood of the Hungarian Horntail.

Snape was truly a Potions Master, and he recognized them all in just one go.

His eyes lit up, but he still put the materials into a special storage container before going to see who had sent the gift.

It was so generous, not to mention anything else, the feathers and tears of the phoenix were already expensive enough.

Thinking of the phoenix, Snape wanted to scold the old bee again. He had asked for it so many times and never received it once.

Snape picked up the letter inside the gift and looked at the signature.

Is it that giant Asseth?

No wonder, he is probably the only one in this school who has the ability to send out these materials.

However, the Cavendish family's heritage is really strong. Even Snape, who doesn't care about extraneous things like wealth, couldn't help but sigh.

Snape looked down at the precious potion ingredients on his counter and felt embarrassed for the first time.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out a bottle of Felixir from another cabinet.

After thinking for a while, he picked up a piece of paper and wrote:

I hope Mr. Cavendish knows how to use Felixir, otherwise he will literally turn into a mindless troll.

Signed Snape

He put down the note and called an elf to deliver the potion.

On the other side, Asseth was stopped by a house elf just as he was about to go out.

Aces politely asked him what he wanted.

Asseth's polite behavior made the elf bang his head in excitement, but Assest frowned and stopped him.

The house elf finally calmed down. The elf handed over the potion in his hand and whispered:

"Master Cavendish, this is the potion given to you by Professor Snape."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Ass's eyes, and he hurriedly reached out to take the potion and note.

The familiar venom on the note allowed Asseth to identify the owner of the gift.

Gifts must be sprinkled with venom, Asseth complained helplessly.

Hmm, the gift was a blessing elixir?

Felixir?

Wait, Merlin! The gift is a blessing elixir! ?

Only then did Asseth realize that the note said the Elixir of Fortune.

He quickly looked down at the potion in his hand.

It is indeed a blessing elixir.

After shaking it gently, I could tell from the quality that it was a perfect quality elixir.

It's not that he doesn't have a blessing elixir, but it's true that he doesn't have such perfect quality.

The elixir is time-consuming and difficult to use, so high-quality elixirs are rarely available on the market.

The quality is perfect right from the start. He is worthy of being the youngest potions master.

Aces looked at the potion in his hand with fascination, the golden quicksand liquid, coupled with the magical effect, the potion was really wonderful.

"Master Cavendish, I'm leaving first."

The house elf's voice brought Arthas's thoughts back.

He nodded. After the elf left, he carefully put away the elixir. You must know that this is something that can save lives at critical moments.

This time there was another guarantee for the auction trip. Asais touched the elixir in his arms and gradually felt relieved.

However, Artes suddenly remembered that the professor should have decided to give this gift after seeing his gift.

Artes couldn't help laughing when he thought that Snape, who had received the gift, was suddenly ready to give him a gift. Professor Snape seemed unexpectedly cute like this.

Surprisingly easy to talk to, Asseth said silently in his heart.

The underground auction begins during the day on Christmas Day.

Aces didn't understand why he chose this holiday time, but it didn't matter, he was bound to get the moonstone anyway.

There are not many people at Hogwarts at Christmas.

Most little wizards go home to spend the holiday with their families.

Most of the little wizards who stayed behind chose to chat and play in the common room because of the cold.

Along the way, Asseth didn't meet anyone.

He walked alone in the corridors of Hogwarts and found the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade.

Just in case, Asseth told Elise yesterday.

If he doesn't show up in the Great Hall the next day, notify his parents, or Professor Snape.

Although Elise didn't understand why, she nodded obediently and agreed.
