HP: Embrace the Darkness

Aces stopped, raised his head and looked at the door carefully. His eyes slowly slid, taking in the entire door.

The door was completely dark, and the white light from the fluorescent spell fell on the door, giving off a metallic black light. The light and shadow highlighted the magic patterns on it.

Different from the magic patterns on the stone murals outside, the magic patterns here are carved into it, and some random patterns are also carved in the free space.

It was a sudden idea because the patterns were carved very randomly, with some places and not others, and the shape was not symmetrical.

Asseth raised his hand, gently wiped the dust on the door along the lines with his fingertips, and looked down.

The dust was so thick that my fingertips instantly turned black.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped it with disgust, then tried to push the door open through the handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as I pushed it.

The scene behind the door left Ass speechless.

This is also a cave, with complex and glowing magic patterns interlaced to form a large magic circle.

There is a stone platform about two meters in the middle of the magic circle, and the steps at the bottom are also engraved with magic patterns.

Aces recognized it as a temperature-controlling magic pattern.

These temperature-control magic patterns are shining brightly, and they all serve the thing on the highest table—a pair of clear ice-blue coffins.

The warmth that hit his face gave Aces the answer.

"Ice coffin?"

His mind exploded with a "buzzing" sound, and his heart was full of astonishment. His heart was beating faster and faster. His words were a little unsteady, and he couldn't help but move closer.

Then the pace quickened and headed straight for the ice coffin.

Aces rarely lost his composure, but this time he didn't care so much.

Because this ice coffin was so familiar, it was the coffin he had made without telling everyone.

"How is it possible? It's obviously not done yet."

With only the last two steps left to the coffin, Asses stopped, looking at the pattern that was completely made by his hand, and said to himself in confusion.

After a while, he calmed down, put on gloves, and carefully groped the coffin surface.

He had accidentally shaken his hands before, leaving a very shallow scratch. The texture could be the same, but the scratch left unintentionally could never be the same.

A bit of cold air spread to his fingertips through his gloves, and Asseth didn't seem to notice it, only checking carefully.

After checking it several times, he finally confirmed that there were no scratches left by manual mistake.

"no?"

Aces frowned in confusion, always feeling that something was wrong. His eyes accidentally swept across the complicated lines on the lid, and the fleeting line in his mind was suddenly caught.

"So that's it."

He chuckled softly, drawing his attention away from the ice coffin and turning to study the magic circle on the ground.

This magic circle was more complicated than any magic circle he had ever seen, and he could vaguely see the shadow of the magic circle Grindelwald used for him.

This research is one day.

It was getting dark outside, and the Black Panther, who had been waiting for a long time to see Asseth, finally realized that he seemed to have been deceived by Asseth, and stood up on three legs.

There were no humans in the study at all.

The black panther was angry and anxious, roaring, limping in circles in the study.

Unexpectedly, its eyes became firm, and it turned around and ran towards the cave.

Running on three legs was not very stable, and it took the Black Panther almost ten minutes to run all the way.

Looking at the dark cave, it hesitated again and wandered around the door for a few times before cautiously walking in.

The cave is no better than the outside, and the smell will not dissipate too quickly. The black panther quickly found the passage that Asses took.

Just when it was about to walk in, a strong smell of blood came from the wind, and fear suddenly appeared in the beast's bloodthirsty and cold pupils.

It growled anxiously inside.

"Stop screaming, I'm coming out."

Aces's voice came out from the passage first, and then, his figure also appeared.

Black Panther's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect that Asses would come out so quickly. It seemed like there was no problem.

"Sorry, I forgot to prepare food for you."

Aces knelt down and picked up the black panther, and walked slowly outside. The black panther put his head on his shoulder, and silently rubbed his neck.

The moonlight fell, and the light of the magic array turned back to warm white light, as if the moonlight outside was filled into the lines of the magic array, allowing it to flow slowly.

This time Asseth was not blocked from going out, and they returned to the tent smoothly.

After picking out the meat from the food prepared by Nina and sharing it with the black panther, Asseth returned to the study, took out the letter paper, and immersed himself in writing the letter.

The black panther was worried that Artes would lie to the leopard again, so he simply jumped to the study with his food in his mouth.

Hearing the sound, Asses raised his head and saw that the black panther was having difficulty walking. He simply stood up and held it in his arms, writing a letter in this posture.

The black panther was held face to face by Artes. He couldn't see the letter, so he lay lazily on Artes' shoulders and ate meat.

Letter after letter was sent out.

Aces stopped writing and stared at the stack of beautiful letters. Among the many letters he sent out, none of them were addressed to Sifu.

"do not be angry."

The words that seemed like sighs were dispersed in the night wind.

The black panther chewed the food for a moment, then returned to normal before Asses noticed.

The next morning, Snape did not receive the letter as expected. When he looked again, Draco was holding a letter with the Cavendish emblem printed on it.

It’s certainly a worry if you don’t have it yourself, but if you don’t have it yourself, it’s another matter if someone else has it.

As a result, the young wizard at Hogwarts found that his Potions Professor was angry again.

First he left angrily during breakfast, and then the poor savior accidentally added the wrong potion ingredients and was scolded by Snape for the first time in a long time.

After the whole Potions class, all the little wizards were trembling with fear, among which the platinum peacock was the most afraid.

Because Snape's cold gaze always lingered on him, Draco was so frightened that he quickly thought about what he had done recently.

After thinking about it, Draco realized that he didn't do anything, so why was his headmaster glaring at him.

He didn't do anything!

The platinum peacock kept a decent smile, but was howling crazily inside.

Before get out of class ended, Snape looked at Draco, who was immersed in the cauldron, playing the role of quail.

"Mr. Malfoy stays, everyone else is dismissed."

The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then empty.

Draco secretly scolded the others for their lack of loyalty and forced a trembling smile on his face.

"Dean, what do you want from me?"

"Bring out the letter you received this morning."

Snape knew that it was rude to force himself to read other people's letters, but he was used to being indulged by Artes without any bottom line, and he actually had some confidence to act recklessly.

Of course, only for Aces.

The letter is the Cavendish family crest, rounded off, no different from Asseth's.

Therefore, the potion master must be very confident.

It turned out to be his brother's problem.

Draco breathed a sigh of relief and took out the letter without even hesitating. He handed it over respectfully, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the door, and his feet were ready to move.

"Dean, can I go?"

As he spoke, he tentatively raised his feet.

"If you want to be locked up."

The potion master said coldly, causing Draco to freeze his feet in mid-air as soon as he raised them.
