HP: Embrace the Darkness

Aces was not very interested in the next auction items.

He was playing with the wand in his hand a little boredly, watching the people below fighting to the death.

Especially some special auction items made the men underneath them look ugly.

Aces sneered at the ugliness.

Rather than these boring things, he was more curious about Snape's expression after receiving the herbs.

Box 13 on the other side.

The old man led the waiter to knock on the door, and the door was quickly opened by the waiter.

In the box, Snape looked at the old man warily, the wand in his hand ready to go.

The old man waved, and the waiter behind him came out and placed the box in his hand on the table.

Snape frowned at the waiter's actions.

He said unhappily: "If I remember correctly, I gave up the bidding."

The old man took a step forward and explained:

"Mr. Snape, this is given to you by the owner of Box 3."

After hearing this, Snape still did not lower his guard. He pushed the box back with his wand.

He said coldly: "I don't need it, give it back."

The old man said nothing and quickly left the box with the waiter.

Snape was left looking at the box containing the herbs with a dark expression.

He hesitated for a moment, then waved his wand to inspect the box.

There is no problem.

When I opened the box again, I saw that it was indeed the herb that I had just bid for.

Snape was hesitant in his heart. If it were anything else, he might not hesitate and just throw it away.

But he needs this herb right now.

After much hesitation, Snape accepted the herb.

He didn't want to guess what the owner of Box 3 meant, but since he gave him the herb, it was his.

He didn't promise anything.

thought Snape.

The auction went quickly, and the prices of the auction items were getting higher and higher. A bottle of the so-called immortality potion even sold for a high price of 80 million.

Snape dismissed this. If there really was such a potion, wouldn't he know about it?

The auction was gradually coming to an end, but Asses had no idea of ​​staying any longer.

Anyway, the herbal medicine has been delivered, so it is better to leave early to study the moonstone just obtained.

With that in mind, Asseth stood up.

He put away the moonstone, pushed open the box door, and left the box calmly.

The auction was still in progress, so there were not many people outside, and Assei walked out of the auction house alone.

It's still that long staircase with no end, dark and deep.

Asseth raised his wand and used the fluorescent spell to illuminate the road ahead, while complaining in his mind.

It’s not like there are no gold galleons, so why not install a lamp?

Aces didn't like the depressing feeling in the stairs, so he walked quickly, and within a few minutes, he walked out of the stairs.

The man in black at the door has disappeared, and he doesn't know where he went.

Aces didn't care about this either. He walked out quickly. This house was too depressing.

Aces was relieved when he walked out of the house.

Inside, he had to tighten his nerves at all times and imitate the Duke's behavior to avoid being stared at.

Aces didn't stay long and was about to leave this place.

Suddenly, an attack came over.

Aces was keenly aware of the surge of magic power and raised his hand to deflect the magic spell.

After seeing Asses deflecting the spell, several men in black walked out of the alley.

Aces held the wand tightly in his hand and looked up at these strange men in black.

The man in black was wrapped so tightly that his face could not be seen and his figure could not be distinguished.

Several men in black were well-trained and surrounded Asseth.

Asses became more cautious, and their tacit understanding made it difficult for him to find loopholes.

Several men in black did not attack immediately, as if they wanted to break Ass's psychological defense, they slowly approached him.

Aces quickly analyzed the situation and decided to strike first.

When he raised his wand, something suddenly flashed in his mind. The original attack spell was replaced by a detection spell.

The results of the investigation made Ass's heart sink.

It was a curse, these people were the organization his parents were tracking down.

Luckily he went to learn about the curse after hearing the news.

Aces immediately changed his response method. Instead of using attack spells, he threw two alchemy products and potions.

"boom."

The alchemical artifact exploded, smoke drifted out from it, and flying fragments penetrated the potion bottle.

The man in black, who escaped the explosion of the alchemical product, was unprepared and was sprinkled with magic potion.

"Zizzi."

The sound of corrosion came from them, and the pain they suffered caused the encirclement to be broken open.

Asseth quickly took advantage of this opportunity to leave. The few men in black who were not affected by the attack saw that Asses had run away, and frantically waved attack spells.

After Asseth added a few armor spells to himself, he used apparation to get rid of them regardless.

In the deserted alley, Snape was walking hurriedly on the road. Suddenly, he stopped and raised his wand.

Turning the corner, Artes ran into Snape, who was holding his wand.

He was startled and stopped to retreat, when a rustling sound came from the alley behind him.

It was too late, Asseth gritted his teeth and stepped forward quickly, avoiding Snape's attack.

Then he put away his wand, and when Snape relaxed his vigilance a little, he directly pulled him up and hid in a side alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Snape immediately counterattacked and pinned Artes against the wall with his backhand, preventing him from moving.

Snape had been holding his wand against Artes since he was pulled, and now he was holding it directly against Artes' throat.

"who are you?"

The deep voice is sexy and dangerous.

The two were very close, so close that Artes could smell the faint, bitter scent of the potion master's body.

Faced with the threat of the wand, Artes did not dodge, but relaxed his body as much as possible to avoid irritating the sensitive potions master.

"I am the owner of Box 3, and your herbal medicine is from me."

Snape narrowed his eyes and looked at Artes. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to lift Artes' mask.

Wait, he can't be caught sneaking out of school to a place like this.

But Snape's hold on him was too strong, and he couldn't break free for a while.

In desperation, Artes stepped forward and hugged Snape.

The next second, he was thrown against the wall by Snape.

The wall shook twice when Asseth hit it, causing him to groan in pain.

Snape looked at the helpless man in front of him with a serious face, hesitating whether to kill him or not.

Thinking of the herbs he received, he still didn't take action.

Snape didn't want to owe others any favors, and remembered the behavior of the man in front of him who had just avoided it.

"I will help you deal with the people who are chasing you in exchange for the medicinal herbs."

Just then, footsteps came from the alley.

Seeing Snape preparing to deal with those men in black, Artes couldn't care about anything else.

He pushed himself up, and when Snape was alert to the man in black at the alley, he pulled Snape into his arms, and then they hid behind a cover.

Seeing Snape's furious expression and raised wand, Artes had no choice but to reach out and pull down the mask.

"It's me, Professor."

Snape stopped raising his hand and looked at the man in front of him.

Snape recognized Arthas by his similar profile and eyes.

"Mr. Cavendish?"

"It's me, Professor." Aces repeated again.

Snape suddenly laughed angrily.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to teach this bold monster a lesson, the sound of footsteps came again.

Aces tensed up instantly.

Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at the nervous troll, wanting to laugh a little.

He mocked:

"Why, Mr. Cavendish is actually afraid of something. How courageous did I think he was? It seems like nothing more than that."

After saying that, Snape pushed Artes away, raised his wand and prepared to teach people a lesson.

Aces saw Snape's movements and blocked him again.
