HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Life is in danger? Wouldn't I know that his life is in danger? I think you, a little girl, are just crazy, and you are just making fun of him."

Zafar was so angry that he stabbed Cynthia in the head with his horn.

Cynthia was poked by it, and belatedly remembered that Zafar and Asseth were both messengers of the moon god, so they would not be unaware of each other's status.

He immediately hid behind Snape in embarrassment.

In its desperation, it ignored that its tall, long and wide body could not be blocked by a human being, and only remembered to hide its head.

Snape glanced back at Cynthia's exposed half of her body. He was speechless and quietly blocked it, changing the subject naturally.

"Elder, what else is there?"

Zafar looked over in surprise, not expecting that Snape, who looked harsher than him, would take the initiative to speak for the naughty Cynthia.

Snape pursed his lips and said nothing.

If the little wizard from Hogwarts dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

He wouldn't be named Snape without scolding him.

But Cynthia is not his little wizard, and what she does is also for him.

He couldn't ignore it.

Cynthia was sheltered and shook her head proudly.

Zafar shook his head helplessly, ignoring Cynthia who became even more upset after knowing that Artes was fine, and said to Snape: "Not just one thing, but several things."

"First of all, since you are far apart, the probability of failure will be very high. Secondly, do you... know that people with this blessing usually become partners with each other?"

Zafar's words instantly brought Snape back to the day when Artes had just recovered from the confused state of the little white tiger.

If I remember correctly, Assei also deceived himself and blamed the stupid things he had done on the little white tiger.

So stupid.

The relaxing memories soothed Snape's anxious mood, and he answered Zafar's questions calmly.

"Yes, I know, what does this have to do with what we are going to do next?"

After hearing Snape's answer, Zafar's eyes looked at him softer, as if he was looking at his junior.

"Now that you know, it's okay."

Snape felt a little uncomfortable looking at Zafar's strangely friendly eyes.

At the same time, my heart was relieved.

He had asked to isolate the previous blessing, so at first he was really worried that Zafar would refuse to help.

It was also for this reason that he was very patient and not impatient when Zafar asked questions. He just hoped that Zafar would help him because he was answering the questions attentively.

But he didn't expect that Zafar didn't seem to care about what happened before. He didn't say anything and was ready to help without him even asking.

The potion master is indeed smart, but because he is smart, he subconsciously uses human thinking to guess the unicorn's thoughts, which leads him to a misunderstanding.

Zhaar is a unicorn. No matter how wise he is, he still retains the pure kindness of a unicorn in his temperament. There is no human being to twist around and weigh the pros and cons.

In its view, Snape was a distinguished guest of the unicorn, and he would help whenever he could. He would not think too much about it, nor would he care about the little things in the past.

After successfully reaching a consensus on this matter, one person and two beasts moved to the open space outside the wooden house.

"I want to make something...well, it's a magic circle to strengthen the connection between you. Cynthia, please take Severus and wait for me."

The big unicorn directed the two smaller ones to stand aside and spin in circles in the open space.

Every time you take a step, a shiny footprint will appear on the ground, and the footprints will be connected from head to tail to form a line.

"This is what Artes taught me. He has too many weird ideas. Maybe I can't keep up with the times. In short, you remember to keep learning. Learning is always good for you."

Zafar, who is both a beast father and a beast master, likes to use various simple examples to explain principles and teach his younger generations in daily life.

Cynthia, the head of the family, and Snape, the potions professor, could not escape the fate of being educated.

One of them has heard it since he was a child, and the other is asking for help from a beast. Naturally, they will not interrupt Zafar's chanting.

This made Zafar speak heartily.

After it finished speaking, the strange magic circle on the ground that looked like a magic circle but didn't quite resemble it had just finished drawing.

"Come on, Severus, step into the middle."

Zafar looked up and greeted Snape.

Like a cat who has been cautious for more than ten years, the double agent who has stretched out his paws to try out something unfamiliar every time he encounters something unfamiliar does not hesitate to stand in the middle of the "magic circle" this time.

"Okay, I'm going to get started."

Zafar reminded him and followed Snape into the magic circle, but he didn't find the middle.

"Severus, from now on, think about Asseth in your mind, and you can also think about the things between you. The more detailed the better. Don't stop. It may take a long time. Just do your best."

Zafar instructed Snape carefully.

Seeing him nodding to note it down, it began to walk slowly around Snape at a distance of two meters from the middle of the "magic circle".

He was still speaking a language that Snape didn't understand.

Thanks to Zafar's efforts, the "magic circle" slowly lit up.

At the same time, Asseth on the other side was wrapped in an alchemy robe, holding a thin photo in his hand, looking at the magic circle underground in a daze.

There is no sunlight in the deep cave, and the opening above the head can only be opened at night. Now the only light source in the cave is the magic circle on the ground.

But the strange thing is that the light of the magic circle is intermittent, there is it in this section, but not in the next section. If you look closely, there seem to be traces of modification on it.

The only living thing in the cave, Asseth, was recalling the previous direction of the magic circle pattern, while debating whether to change the magic circle back after it had been changed beyond recognition.

If you change it back, there will be no excuse for not sending the letter.

If you don’t change and come back, you won’t be able to get out.

This is an extremely difficult choice for Assis.

Time passed little by little, but he still felt nothing. He resigned and stood up to modify the magic circle.

Seeing the pattern of the magic circle that he had painstakingly modified return to its original appearance bit by bit, Asseth couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, I am also a little curious about what the people behind it want to do and why they are not allowed to change.

Although it was embarrassing to say it, the young and promising Master Cavendish had to admit that the person who left the magic circle was very smart.

The person who set up the magic circle left a secret door in the most inconspicuous place of the magic circle.

As long as there is a slight change, the magic circle will automatically start to lock, making it impossible to get in or get out.

That's right, Asseth who tampered with the magic circle became the idiot who couldn't get in or get out.

He still can't figure out why things turned out like this, and he was forced to fake it - he could neither leave nor deliver letters.
