HP: Embrace the Darkness

Snape came back to his senses, his heart numbed by his cry, and his fingertips subconsciously curled up.

The brain that was almost out of control struggled to regain some clarity, function again, and accept the body's feedback.

The hot and scalding body was covered from behind, covering the neck and cheeks. The lips were turned and rubbed together, and the breathing was extremely lingering without distinguishing between you and me.

Unlike last time when he was unconscious, this time he was clearly aware of what the two of them were doing.

The heartbeat accelerated, knocking on the body that had been numb for a long time, knocking out cracks, revealing the freshness.

The unfamiliar feeling made him unconsciously want to step back.

But there is the back of the chair behind, and there is no way to retreat.

The brain quickly changed its strategy and retreated to the side.

The obstacle this time was Asseth's arm tightly wrapped around his neck, and his fingertips were still caressing his face.

Not from the back, not from the side.

There is no way to escape and there is no way to escape.

The potion master paused for a few seconds, closed his eyes in silence, and deceived himself to avoid Ass's hot and gentle gaze, which... could be regarded as acquiescing to his actions.

Asseth caught all his little moves in his eyes, his eyes were filled with brilliance and his chest was getting hotter.

etc--

piping hot?

Aces finally remembered what he was going to do just now - he was going to the manor.

Moreover, it was not his chest that felt hot, but the pocket watch in his chest pocket.

Someone is looking for him.

And ninety-nine percent it’s Joel.

Asseth sighed in his heart, he had to leave after such a good time of tenderness at night.

With difficulty, he forcibly pulled back his fallen sanity. The kissing movements gradually stopped and turned to gentle caressing. The fingertips he rubbed also stopped, and his arms moved forward to wrap his arms around the Potions Master.

"Sev, I love you."

After saying that, Asseth slowly backed away without finishing his words, gently stroking his fingers through his hair with a nostalgic tone.

Snape glanced at him but said nothing.

After all the actions, both of them were breathing a little messily. He could still keep breathing silently without speaking. If he spoke, he might be exposed.

Asseth straightened up, took out the pocket watch that was about to burn and threw it on the table. His smile was slightly broken, but he could barely maintain it.

"Who the hell made the reminder that it's hot!"

He opened his hand, and the fingertips that took the pocket watch turned bright red.

You can imagine how hot the pocket watch is.

Snape took a breath and saw his red hands. There was no sympathy in his heart, only the words "deserve it" echoed back and forth.

Aces lowered his eyes, pitifully stretched his hand in front of Snape and showed it 365 degrees, and then got another "Deserve it".

You deserve it if you deserve it.

Anyway, just now...

The man licked his lips with satisfaction, his eyes darkened.

Seemingly aware of this sight, Snape gathered up his nightgown and hurried back to the bedroom without even saying hello.

Asseth didn't hold him back, and followed the bedroom door closing with his eyes before slowly looking back.

The cufflinks he had just buttoned were askew when he hugged him. He took them off and buttoned them back slowly. The magic power flowed out from his fingertips and connected to the pocket watch.

Then he presciently threw the pocket watch aside to avoid the bombardment Joel might spew.

Sure enough, the next second, Joel's furious voice came from inside.

What he was scolding was not why Asseth didn't come, but why he didn't tell them that he was safe and would be late.

Asseth thought to himself: If he could tell it in advance, he would definitely tell it in advance. Wouldn't it be that he was too involved and couldn't free up his hands without even thinking about it?

After Joel finished his long speech, Asseth tidied up the last wrinkles and walked out while explaining to Joel inside.

After promising three times that he would never be late again and that he would leave now, Joel was finally willing to give up on his nagging and give Asseth five minutes to prepare.

The pocket watch flashed on and off, completely silent.

Asseth looked back at the tightly closed bedroom door, not feeling sad, just a little helpless.

The hair he accidentally lifted up after the kiss was enough for him to see the red tips of Snape's ears and neck, so he would not misunderstand Snape's hasty departure.

The door closed, and Snape, who was sitting alone in the dark bedroom, looked over unconsciously.

Nothing could be seen through a door.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he rationally withdrew his gaze, lay back, nestled into the soft and fluffy big bed, and let the darkness wrap around him.

It was a quiet room, not even breathing could be heard.

Snape lay on his back, his thoughts racing wildly in the deserted night.

The scene just now lingered in his mind. He raised his hand involuntarily, but when he was about to fall, he suddenly woke up and took his hand back.

In the darkness, he opened his eyes and tried to organize his thoughts, but finally fell asleep for some reason.

Late at night, Cavendish Manor did not turn off the lights early as usual, but was brightly lit.

As soon as Asses came back, Nina immediately snapped her fingers and came to his side. She looked Asses up and down with her big eyes, her expression slowly changing from calm to distressed.

"Master, you have lost weight."

Aces: "..."

"Come, tell me who you learned from."

"But the young master just lost weight. He lost weight every time he came back from outside. The young master didn't ask Nina."

The petite house elf was hard-headed for a rare occasion, and Asseth did not break her hard-headedness. He nodded with a smile and casually mentioned a few of the things he had eaten in the past few days.

"Master, Butler Joel is waiting for you."

Entering the brightly lit hall, Asses asked Nina to leave first and he went there himself.

Nina reluctantly disappears.

Anna and Susanna both had the habit of going to bed early. Under their guidance, William had to go to bed early, and Draco gradually got used to going to bed early, so there was nothing else in the corridor except the lights that were trying to illuminate.

Arriving at Joel's study, Asseth walked in.

"Grandpa Joel."

"Well, have you seen the remaining ravens?"

"Not yet. I came up directly to understand the situation first. I always felt that there was a familiar flavor in their few words of report."

Aces sat down on the sofa, took the parchment report handed over by Joel, and flipped through the pages.

Raven's report was written very concisely and clearly, re-describing what happened during their mission from the perspective of a bystander, but there was no description of the disappearance of the missing people, not even speculation.

"This word doesn't look like Gai Wen's word."

Aces carefully observed the fonts on it. After each Raven task was completed, the report required his signature. He was very familiar with the characters of Raven and others.

"He injured his hand. This was dictated by him and written by others." Joel said without looking up from the report on the table.

Aces frowned slightly, "Is it serious?"

"Fortunately, it's just a broken bone. It will take a while to recover. However, he has broken both hands, which will make daily life more troublesome. The ash on the wound was a bit weird, so we didn't give him any magic medicine."

"I originally planned to ask Mr. Snape to come over and take a look before deciding how to use the medicine, but I remembered where I saw this gray spirit, so I didn't invite him over."
