HP: Embrace the Darkness

Susanna carefully observed Ass's expression every time she spoke a word.

Assei frowned and rubbed his fingertips on the photo. He didn't know what he thought of, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I have to ask Sev about this. If he is willing, I'll have no problem with it, but not now."

Susanna was speechless, very speechless.

She held back her speechless look and asked, "What's the difference between this and rejection?"

Hearing this, Artes slowly put the photo into his inner chest pocket and put on a standard smile that made Susanna feel sour when she saw it.

"Of course there is a difference. The difference is... I didn't reject you directly."

nonsense!

Suzanne: Haha, hypocritical man.

She imitated Artes and put on a fake smile, "That's really an honor for me. Do you want to say thank you?"

"Family, don't be so polite, just come over and help me barbecue."

Aces picked up Susanna who was trying to sneak away and manually changed her direction.

"Let's go, Silver will be impatient later."

Susanna wanted to curse, but she didn't know who to scold. Artes couldn't scold her. He had to buy her clothes and give her gifts. Snape couldn't scold him. If he scolded Artes, he would kill her with a knife. Joel would also scold her. No.

After holding it in for a long time, she chose to write down an account for Dumbledore, who she was looking for today.

If she hadn't been looking for Dumbledore, she wouldn't have come to Hogwarts.

If you don't come to Hogwarts, you won't see Artes and Snape, you won't take photos of them, and you won't be caught by Artes.

The logic makes sense.

Perfect, just blame Dumbledore.

Susanna felt at ease and put the pot on Dumbledore, who didn't know anything. She turned around and grabbed Artes, slightly bent her legs, and jumped down from the tree.

Asses was not prepared at all, and was dragged down by her forcefully. He was completely stunned.

The wind howled past my ears.

The second before he was about to fall to the ground, his body's instinctive reaction was faster than his brain's. Magic power flowed around his body crazily, and dazzling white light appeared on his fingertips.

When he reappeared, he was pale and standing next to a tree two meters away from the other tree.

Susanna landed firmly on the ground, and pulled her hand forward gracefully, ready to pick up her eldest nephew.

Don't break it.

However, when the hand is in front of me, it is empty!

empty?

Where are the people! !

Where is a nephew her age?

Susanna looked at her empty hands in horror, her mouth ready for a scream of terror.

"Don't scream, I'm here."

Aces walked out from behind the tree helplessly.

Susanna looked at her hands as if she had seen a ghost, and then looked at Asseth, her expression still horrified.

"How is it possible? I held you so tightly, how could you disappear out of thin air? It's impossible for you to disapparate! My hand is not broken, and your clothes are not torn."

Aces raised his eyes sadly, his voice weak.

"Do you really want me to cut off your hand by apparating? Or do you think I would cut my own clothes just to get rid of your hand?"

Susanna glanced at his lips that were white with fear, and did not dare to speak.

Aces grabbed Susanna's wrist with lightning speed and apparated away.

Susanna felt guilty and did not dare to resist.

Arriving at the Unicorn Valley, Asses let go of his hand. He felt physically and mentally exhausted and needed silence or a comforting hug.

But not yet, he had to account for Susanna, otherwise he didn't know what she could do.

Aces forced a smile on Susanna.

"I will tell Sifu myself about the photos. For barbecue... you can ask Nina to send the ingredients. She knows Sifu's taboos and will not send the wrong ones. Is there anything unclear?"

Susanna looked at her eldest nephew's pale face worriedly, "I have a very, very small question. Are you... okay?"

"I'm very good."

After saying this, Asseth waited for a while, but when he didn't hear any questions, he drifted away like a wandering spirit.

There was a chilling desolation in his back.

Basking in the warm sunshine, Susanna shivered violently. When she saw that the person Artes was walking toward was Snape, the coldness finally faded away.

"It's okay, it's okay. He has someone to comfort him. He's not scared to death. I'd better go barbecue."

Susanna comforted herself and turned around to summon Nina to get the ingredients.

On a hillside away from the hustle and bustle.

Snape, who was lying comfortably on his back basking in the sun, suddenly felt cold all over and the warmth disappeared.

He slowly moved his arms and opened his eyes.

Through the gap between his eyelids, he saw a man covered in black gas standing in front of him.

The man blocked the warm sunlight completely.

"It's blocking the light, give in."

Feeling comfortable under the warm sunshine, Snape could not help but speak with a lazy tone.

It was as if a feather was gently tickling the steadily beating heart, feeling crisp and numb.

The depression accumulated when Asseth was looking for someone suddenly dissipated with these ordinary words, and he obediently moved a little to the side to reveal the blocked sunlight.

Snape closed his eyes with satisfaction and reservedly stretched out his hand to pat the place next to him.

Aces understood and sat down in that position.

Snape tilted his head to rest on Artes' shadow, avoiding the dazzling sunlight, and asked, "Aren't you looking for someone? Why did you come back half dead?"

"I'm looking for someone, but something happened."

Aces looked sideways and saw that he was having a hard time hiding, so he simply raised one hand and pushed it to the side, so that the falling shadow just covered the Potion Master's eyes.

comfortable.

Snape was content to enjoy the privilege of being able to bask in the sun without having to raise his hands to cover it, so he continued to ask.

"What accident?"

Aces answered all questions honestly: "I almost fell and gnawed in the mud."

Dog chewing mud?

Snape opened his eyelids, looked at Asseth's feet, and closed them again when he saw that there was no mud on them.

"How did you fall?"

"I was pulled, I was unprepared."

Aces reluctantly took Snape's hand, sliding his fingers, causing him to open his eyes, and then gesticulated how dangerous the situation was at that time.

Snape didn't hesitate at all between comforting and losing the tool to block the sun. He patted the back of Artes' hand comfortingly and said, "It's okay."

Aces stared at the fingers on the back of his hand, his eyebrows became softer and softer, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curved slightly, blooming with a touch of tenderness.

The moment he was pulled down from the tree, his mind did go blank for a second.

But only for that second.

After his feet touched the ground, he recovered slowly.

It's just that the hidden joy brought by those three sentences cannot be expressed openly and openly, and it has always been suppressed in my heart.

The accident that nearly fell gave him a good excuse to vent.

Aces smiled happily and took Snape's hand, lifted it up and kissed it.

"Well, as long as you're here, it'll be fine."

The potions master who can successfully comfort people with just one sentence is satisfied with his self-confidence.

I'm not angry at being taken advantage of.

He glanced around with squinted eyes and saw that no one and no beast were paying attention to them, so he allowed Ass to move.
