HP: Embrace the Darkness

Face your dean temporarily in an open classroom or face your dean in a cellar for a long time. You don't have to think about this option at all to know which one to choose.

Draco retracted his foot obediently.

Snape opened the letter and looked past the content to the signature at the bottom - Anna Cavendish.

Not Asseth.

Snape didn't look sideways, folded the letter naturally, and handed it back, "Take it, you can go."

After getting the letter, Draco didn't want to leave.

He recalled Snape's movements and carefully probed: "Dean, are you looking for my brother?"

Hearing this, Snape glanced at Draco, seeing all his gossipy thoughts, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Malfoy, if you are still here within three seconds, you will be detained for a week."

A week!

so many?

Will someone die?

Draco gasped and ran towards the door, "I'm leaving now."

When he ran to the door, he stopped, looked left and right in the corridor outside, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he turned around and gave Gavin more work in a moderate voice.

"Dean, if you want to find my brother, you can go to Gavin. He must know the news about my brother."

After saying that, he greased the soles of his feet and ran away, leaving only Snape with a thoughtful look on his face.

On the other side, Gavin returned to the alchemy office with the letter forwarded by Susanna, sat down on the sofa, put his long legs on the table, and lazily opened the letter.

The letter is not long, only a few sentences.

But it was those words that made Gavin straighten the corners of his cocky mouth.

He usually teaches the little wizards at Hogwarts. He is afraid of scaring the inexperienced little ones, so he is used to laughing to reduce the murderous intent caused by scars.

Now his face is expressionless, and traces of the suppressed anger have leaked out.

"Tsk, you're looking for death."

Du Wa, who was reading, raised his head when he heard the voice, met his stern eyes, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and asked casually: "Master's letter? What did the letter say? Why do you look so serious?"

Gavin put away the letter and looked at it with warning eyes.

"What should be asked and what should not be asked, remember clearly the boundaries. I will leave Hogwarts today, and I will give you full authority here."

After Dua asked, he also realized that his words were inappropriate. When Gavin said that, he felt even more ashamed and quickly admitted his mistake.

"I promise there won't be a next time."

"Well, it won't happen next time."

Gavin nodded and directly revealed the matter without arguing with him too much.

He knew Dua couldn't be blamed.

In Hogwarts, the two of them live together day and night, eat and live together, and there are only two of them, so it is easy to blur the boundaries between superior and subordinate.

So he was just a reminder, not a reproach.

Gavin left Hogwarts quietly.

When Snape found the alchemy office, only Dewar was left reading a book.

"Professor Snape?"

Dua stood up with some restraint, and threw the book in his hand onto the sofa. He turned the pages and turned to the page about the love potion.

Snape caught the word love potion in his peripheral vision and frowned subconsciously.

"I'm assuming you don't want to use the love potion on those stupid trolls?"

"No, I didn't want to make a love potion!" Dua retorted reflexively. Following his line of sight and seeing the love potion, he hurriedly explained awkwardly, "It's just to kill time."

Snape snorted unintelligibly, looking back and forth in the alchemy office.

"Dean, are you looking for Gavin?"

Duva was very discerning. Seeing that Snape seemed to be looking for something, he immediately thought of Gavin who had just left.

"Where is he?" Snape searched to no avail and looked at Dua, "I remember there is no alchemy class today."

The schedule of alchemy class this semester is the same as last semester. He remembered the schedule of last semester clearly, and there should be no alchemy class until tomorrow.

"Well he..."

Dua sneered, wondering why it was such a coincidence that Gavin was looking for Snape just after he left him. What should I say? Straightforward or perfunctory?

He screamed silently in his heart, but his face remained calm as he considered his words.

"Gavin... left Hogwarts temporarily and will not come back for a while. He didn't tell me the reason for leaving. However, he received a letter before leaving and his expression looked very angry."

Dua finally chose to tell the truth.

leave temporarily?

After listening to Duva's words, Snape looked a little weird. It wasn't that he didn't believe in coincidences, but this coincidence was a bit too coincidental.

Just as he was about to come to Gavin to ask about Artes, Gavin took the letter and left in a hurry.

If it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence. If it's not a coincidence...

Snape's eyes flashed dangerously.

At the same time, far away in the rain forest, Ass was preparing to enter the cave for the second time. Suddenly, there was a cold feeling on his back, and his hand holding the black panther unconsciously tightened.

The black panther felt pain and patted Asseth on the shoulder with his paw, his golden eyes burning with anger.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Asseth quickly reduced his strength and bumped the black panther upward to make it more comfortable.

When the black panther felt comfortable and made a "purrul" sound, he freed up one hand and lifted it from the back of his neck to his back and tail.

The black panther seemed to be unaccustomed to Ass's sudden movement. The hair on its tail suddenly exploded, and it was stiff and motionless.

Aces felt secretly amused, but his hands did not stop and he continued to move the big cat skillfully.

He is a white tiger himself, so he naturally knows which parts make cats feel comfortable.

Moving down this time, the black panther gradually relaxed, squinted his eyes comfortably, and swung his slender and powerful tail leisurely, hitting Asseth's calf. The rough tail hair rubbed against the skin, sending a numb itch.

Seeing that the black panther was relaxed, Asses lowered his voice, smoothed his hair, and persuaded him gently: "Do you really want to go into the cave with me? I don't bring much meat. If you eat it the way you eat, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you. .”

Black Panther was unmoved.

Thinking of the steak in the alchemy ring that had been reduced by one-third on the first day, and then thinking of the full fruit salad that the black panther disliked and refused to eat, Asses' voice became more determined, "Go back, don't be hungry."

It was far away from human habitation, and he would not be able to find a gathering place for humans to buy food for a while.

The only one who can be considered human is Voldemort.

But according to his observation, Voldemort's life was even worse than him, either eating it raw or roasting it.

Therefore, it is not realistic to snatch food from Voldemort, and they can only rely on the food he brings to survive.

The black panther eats a lot and only eats meat. In a few days, he will have to eat the northwest wind.

Oh, no, Black Panther doesn't eat fruit, and there's a lot of fruit salad left. He can survive on fruit salad, but what about Black Panther?

Give it raw meat?

No, the animals here are either poisonous or look poisonous, and he doesn't worry about anything he eats.

Unless it can be cooked.

But he has never tried to handle food by himself, and he doesn't know how to grill meat. Seeing how difficult it was for Voldemort to grill the meat, nine out of ten were burnt, and one was burnt to char, so he would be burnt too, right?

Aces was worried about his future career of raising leopards, and regretted why he didn't learn how to barbecue with Nina. At least the panthers could eat hot meat.
