HP: Embrace the Darkness

Haierbo nodded with satisfaction and continued to inspect the room, picking out items that were contaminated with the scent of strangers one by one. Those with unpleasant smells were knocked down directly.

Lucius resigned himself to following it, taking note of what was to be replaced.

Remembering and cursing at the same time.

He knew that those who could be friends with Voldemort were not good people, and they all coveted his family property.

On the other side, Snape left Malfoy Manor and rushed to Hogwarts alone.

It was late at night, there was no light around, only the cold moonlight covered the ground, following the lonely pedestrians step by step, silently comforting them.

Snape walked to a place where he could disapparate, took out his wand, and waved it lightly.

There was a violent crack and he returned to the path outside Hogwarts.

When it hits the ground, it crushes some leaves, and the crisp cracking sound is particularly obvious in the silent night.

Snape irritably cleared the leaves in front of him and strode forward under the scattered moonlight.

This place was very close to Hogwarts, and his vigilance gradually lowered, and the emotions that he had suppressed surged up, weighing heavily on his heart.

Why did Voldemort change so much and why did he stay away from him for so long? Where did that snake come from and why did it look so familiar?

All kinds of problems gave Snape a headache, not to mention that Voldemort unexpectedly cared about his love life and said he would find a wife for him.

wife? Oh, he didn't believe that Voldemort would be kind enough to consider him, it was just a temptation or calculation.

But whether it was a temptation or a calculation, he couldn't refuse and had to obey.

Snape looked into the distance silently.

Voldemort was making him feel more and more terrible, and he had to tell Dumbledore about it.

……

The turmoil caused by Umbridge's departure gradually subsided over time.

A few weeks passed by, and the little wizards returned to their usual peaceful lives.

This morning, the cold wind howled and squeezed into the warm bedroom through various cracks.

The little wizards felt the cold in a daze, got up from the bed, put on their warm nightgowns, lay down at the window and looked out.

Upon seeing this, exclamations of exclamation suddenly broke out one after another - the outside world changed overnight.

Looking up, everywhere you look is covered with snow. The snow bends the branches into a beautiful recurved shape. The thinnest ends of the branches condense into ice crystals, which are crystal clear under the warm winter sun.

The first snow is here.

The little wizards stretched out their hands excitedly, and the light snowflakes fell on their palms and melted into a puddle of water.

Today is Sunday, and the little wizards have no classes. Seeing the snowy Hogwarts, they happily changed their clothes, called their friends and ran downstairs with their equipment.

You must know that skating, snowball fights and sledding are indispensable activities in winter.

The little wizards were having fun, but Miss Medusa was starting to get sleepy.

Although she was not exactly a snake, she had every aspect of snake nature. When the weather got cold, she started to feel sleepy and lazy, and the whole snake curled up and refused to move.

Next to her, Mompido followed suit and curled up.

The cellar bedroom door opened, and the sleepy Miss Medusa suddenly woke up.

Immediately, she whipped her tail towards Morpidou, waking him up. She looked at Snape eagerly.

"Morning, Dean, do you need breakfast?"

Snape stopped for a moment and looked at Medusa suspiciously. Was it his imagination? Why did he see expectation in a snake's eyes.

Miss Medusa is really looking forward to it.

At that time, when Artes brought the two of them back from the Forbidden Forest, he once said that as long as Snape ate on time, he would give her a beautiful necklace.

Still emerald!

Thinking of this, Miss Medusa wished she could turn into a house elf, bring breakfast, and watch Snape eat it herself.

It doesn't mean that she can't feed her. As long as she can get the necklace, she will risk it.

From Miss Medusa's attentive attitude, the Potions Master was keenly aware of the strangeness, frowned and stayed away, declining her enthusiasm.

Miss Medusa stared blankly as Snape walked into the potion room, and the light in his eyes went out with a click.

Is her necklace ruined?

Miss Medusa was about to cry but went to beat Morpidou to vent her anger. Before she could finish the beating, she saw Snape coming out with a box of potions and calling out Nina.

"Nina, help me get to the school infirmary, and bring a breakfast to the cellar by the way."

There is another village in the dark.

Miss Medusa's snake face was frozen, and she couldn't adjust for a moment. Sadness and surprise appeared at the same time, which looked quite strange.

Mopidou wanted to get closer, but was whipped away by a tail. He hooked the gap with his tail as usual, relaxed his whole body, and allowed himself to sway in the air.

Snape suddenly fell silent when he saw the two snakes fighting openly and covertly.

"Okay, Professor Snape." Nina didn't realize it. She picked up the box containing the potion, responded abruptly, snapped her fingers and disappeared.

When she reappeared, she had a breakfast in her hand.

"Professor Snape, breakfast is here."

Snape was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When he heard the sound, he turned around and said, "Put it here."

Nina put down her breakfast and took out a letter at the same time, "Professor Snape, this is the letter from the young master."

"Ase's letter?"

Snape looked up from his book, took the letter, opened it and took a quick look.

There was only one paragraph in the letter. To put it simply, there were a lot of things going on in the past two days and I might not come over.

"Do you want a reply from Professor Snape? Nina can give it to the young master, and no one will find out!" Nina looked at Snape expectantly, patting her chest and promising.

Snape thought for a moment, took a piece of parchment, and simply wrote two lines of words. He didn't even take the envelope, and just stuffed it into Artes' envelope.

Nina took the letter happily.

Great, the young master will definitely be happy.

As the snow fell heavier and heavier, Nina returned to Cavendish Manor and found Asseth in the study.

"Master, your letter."

"It's Nina, come here." Asseth looked up from the desk. He had stayed up for most of the night, and his eyes were black and tired, but it did not affect the gentleness of his smile.

Nina said worriedly: "Master, you look very bad. What happened?"

"It's okay, it's just that it's nearing the end of the year, and there are a lot of financial statements for the Duke of Devonshire's properties. Plus the taxes to be paid, I have a headache now when I see the numbers."

Aces calmed the elf's worries, took the letter from her hand, and smiled a little more sincerely when he saw the sharp writing on the letter as the owner.

After Asseth finished reading, Nina handed over another letter and a folded note, "Master, I saw this at the door. I don't know who put it there, so Nina took it in together. "

"Let me take a look." Asseth took the note first, and when he unfolded it to read the words on it, he frowned, "Nina, are you sure you didn't see the person who sent the note?"

Nina thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Master, when I arrived, there was no one, only notes and envelopes."
