HP: Embrace the Darkness

Snape, who was silent, heard Artes' question, and his eyes became meaningful.

It wasn't just Umbridge who asked this question.

Apparently, Hermione realized this too.

But after all, she didn't know Asseth as well as Snape, so she didn't dare to confirm her guess rashly.

She thought carefully and asked tentatively: "Family conditions? Do you mean that both my parents are Muggles?"

"Yes." Asses gave an affirmative answer. Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he politely added, "Don't be in a hurry. You can think about it slowly."

Hermione was lost in thought.

To be honest, she had no idea on this issue.

If it were just Umbridge, she might still have a way, but...just like her family situation, it means that she is an out-and-out Muggle wizard.

A Muggle wizard who falls to the bottom and gets up again has to face not only the insults of his former opponents, but also restrictions from all sides and the ill will of his fellow wizards.

Having been in the wizarding world for nearly six years, Hermione is well aware of how serious the invisible blood hierarchy of wizards is.

Even in Gryffindor, a relatively tolerant house, she had received a lot of looks and discrimination.

Bloodline is an invisible threshold.

"If it were me, what would I do?" Hermione was a little confused. This was simply the most unfavorable start.

Snape was thinking too.

He vaguely guessed something, frowned and turned his head.

Most of Assest's attention was on Snape. When he saw him looking over, he nodded to him, indicating that his guess was correct.

From the perspective of the two people who have a deeper understanding of the magical world, the situation faced by Hermione is both difficult and simple.

First of all, he has pure Muggle blood, and secondly, he has no foundation in the wizarding world and no support from his family.

The easiest way to transcend blood classes and gain family support is to use marriage.

As long as you use marriage to join a pure-blood family, you will be considered a member of the pure-blood family by default. You will not receive blood discrimination or be isolated.

Time passed by, and the Potions Master became impatient. He waved his wand, floated the pile of papers, and graded them with a quill.

Seeing this, Artes took away half of the paper and was correcting it while waiting for Hermione to grasp the most critical points.

Hermione mentally calculated all the methods she could think of, and found that the plan that was most likely to succeed also had a fifty percent chance of failure.

She didn't want to come up with an imperfect answer, but she couldn't think of a better one.

"Sorry, Mr. Cavendish." Hermione lowered her head in disappointment, "I couldn't think of it."

Artes stopped the quill he was correcting, "It's not that you didn't expect it, you just didn't think about it, Hermione...can I call you that?"

Hermione was frustrated and didn't get excited when Artes called her his Christian name, so she said feebly: "Okay."

"Hermione, you are the most outstanding Muggle wizard I have ever met, but you have an advantage that is both a shortcoming and an advantage - you are a woman."

"There is no doubt that whether it is Muggles or wizards, women's path is more bumpy than men's, but there is also a shortcut, and that is marriage."

Hermione frowned hard, "Marriage is not a shortcut. Maybe it can really help me, but I won't take advantage of it. It should be born of love."

"Love?" Asseth smiled and shook his head, "Talk about love when pursuing status and power is not a good choice. You have to learn to distinguish what is more important to you at this stage."

After that, he concluded: "Sometimes, feelings have to give in to your career."

Hermione subconsciously looked at Snape and found that Snape had stopped grading papers.

Thinking that the relationship between Artes and Snape seemed unusual, Hermione retorted confidently, "Then do you treat Professor Snape like that too?"

and many more!

Why is Sif involved?

It's not that he doesn't have it, don't talk nonsense.

That was the person he had managed to keep warm, how could he give up on him because of his career.

To give up is to give up your career.

Aces explained frantically in his heart, and then, full of hope that Snape hadn't heard him, he turned his head stiffly and met Snape's gaze, who was watching him quietly.

It's over now, I can't explain it clearly.

Artes was so heartbroken that he didn't care that Hermione was there, and quickly explained: "Sev, you know that's not what I meant, right..."

His voice grew quieter.

Snape narrowed his eyes, his anger was building up, and he started to get angry at Hermione.

"It seems that Miss Know-It-All knows how to sow discord. Her brain is not used for studying, but for thinking about such things?"

Artes and Hermione were both startled.

Did you criticize the wrong person?

Snape ignored Artes' hesitant expression and continued, "If Miss Know-It-All is willing to use her brain a little bit, she should understand that there are differences between people and cannot be generalized."

"Yes, we are different." Artes hurriedly agreed with Snape's point of view and expressed his loyalty, "Sev, I will not give up on you, no matter when."

Feeling that this was not enough, he continued to add more.

"I have Cavendish and Muller behind me and I don't have to make a choice, but if one day I have to make a choice, you are my only choice."

Of course Snape knew of Arthas' choice.

The choice has been made since Asses confessed to his family - no family would be willing to let a head without an heir serve as head of the family for a long time.

No matter how much you pamper her, it won’t do.

It can be said that Asses personally gave up the position of heir for him, and now he is just waiting for the next heir to appear and grow up.

Asseth's eyes instantly brightened when he gained the unconditional trust of his lover.

If Hermione hadn't been there, if the Potions Master hadn't been so shy, he would have hugged her by now.

Being scolded, being shown off, and being hit one after another made Hermione a little autistic.

Snape gently raised his chin towards the dejected Hermione, signaling for Artes to continue. Artes reluctantly looked away and forced himself into the state.

"Monopoly, you know?"

Britain is an industrialized capitalist country with a history of the most powerful monopoly companies. Hermione was no stranger to the word monopoly, so she nodded.

Hearing this, Artes crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, preparing to break the Garden of Eden in Hermione's heart.

"The wizarding world has developed for so many years. Various pure-blood families have jointly formulated the rules of the wizarding world, and subtly and subtly implanted the rules into the flesh and blood of the next generation, passing them on from generation to generation to maintain their pride and power."

"Years later, the rules they formulated have penetrated into the marrow of wizards, giving all wizards invisible labels and dividing them into pure-blood wizards, mixed-blood wizards, and Muggle wizards."

"Among them, Muggle wizards have the worst development among the three categories of wizards because they have no foundation in the wizarding world."

"And what a coincidence, the pure-blood wizard with the longest history and the best development has completely monopolized the position of power in the magic world after years of development."

“With that, it takes control of the discourse.”
