HP: Embrace the Darkness

After buying school supplies, Carter and Elise walked into the living room carrying a lot of things, and bumped into Snape who came out.

Dean?

Their first reaction was to suspect that they were in the wrong place, or that they were dreaming.

Otherwise, how could they see their dean.

Elise and Carter closed their eyes and then opened them again while doubting life.

Why is the dean still there?

Standing opposite them, Snape frowned and looked at the two dull students.

"Professor, why do you stop...you are back."

Aces's voice came, and someone walked out from behind Snape.

The appearance of Asseth finally made the two of them realize that they were not making a mistake or dreaming.

The dean who appears is the real dean!

"Hello, Dean... Dean."

The two of them didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and said hello with dull eyes.

Merlin, how can they see their dean during the holidays?

Merlin, did they just kill the dean?

The two of them howled inwardly.

Seeing Carter and Elise finally reacting to say hello, Snape nodded in response to them.

Then he turned to look at Asseth inquiringly.

"Why didn't I know that Mr. Cavendish had the habit of bringing people to his home?"

Others are afraid of Snape's cold face. For example, Carter and Elise now dare not look at Snape's face.

But Asseth didn't feel it. He looked at Snape amusedly.

"Doesn't the professor count what I brought home?"

Snape was speechless and didn't know how to reply.

He glared at Asseth dissatisfiedly.

Assei gave up when he saw fit and never provoked Professor Viper again.

"Give the things to Nina and you can leave."

Asseth looked at Elise, and Nina came over and took the book from her hand.

Send them away.

Artes walked Snape to the door alone.

Along the way, Snape said nothing and walked silently beside Artes, holding the book in his hand and frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even Asseth turned his head several times to speak, but it didn't attract his attention.

Asseth raised his beautiful eyebrows, curious about what he was thinking, so fascinated.

In this way, the two of them walked in silence all the way through the flower-filled garden and past the gorgeous and exquisite fountain.

Arriving at the gate of the manor, the two stood still.

"Professor, how about I ask Nina to take you to Diagon Alley?"

Seeing that Snape did not leave immediately, Artes asked.

Because Cavendish Manor has closed the fireplace to ensure the safety of the manor these days.

So he had no choice but to ask the house elf to help.

After hearing Artes' question, Snape came back to his senses and looked down at Artes.

"Need not."

After saying that, he stopped talking and looked at Asseth not knowing what he was thinking.

"Professor? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Snape staring at him without speaking, Artes asked.

"Why hide this?"

Snape suddenly asked.

Um? Why did the professor suddenly ask this?

Seeing Snape's focused eyes, Artes stood up slightly and answered seriously.

"First of all, it's not a big deal. I don't need to worry my family."

"Secondly, the professor didn't mean it, so there's no need to hold on to it."

"Finally, Professor, I thought we had reached an agreement and this matter is behind us."

Snape interrupted Artes, that wasn't exactly what he wanted to ask.

"why?"

Why do you believe in him so much, believe that he will not give up saving him.

He had been thinking about this issue all the way just now.

Snape still didn't say it clearly, but this time Artes understood what he meant.

Asseth raised the corners of his mouth and raised his head, his eyes gentle and serious.

"Because professors are worth it."

Worthy of his trust.

This unexpected answer caught Snape off guard.

Snape was confused and subconsciously looked down at his hands.

Is he worth it?

No, he doesn't deserve it. His hands are covered with the blood of innocent people and he can't save anyone.

Seeing Snape lowering his head and saying nothing, obviously not believing his words, Artes was a little helpless.

He looked at Snape seriously and spoke firmly.

"Professor, I have never lied to you."

"there has never been."

So what he said was true, and he really felt that he was worthy.

Snape didn't refute, and he didn't know how to refute.

Thinking that Snape was still concerned about hurting him, Artes spoke again.

"If the professor still cares about what happened today, how about fulfilling my request as compensation."

"it is good."

Snape frowned and looked at Arthas.

According to his caution, he shouldn't have agreed to such an unknown request, but he still agreed.

Just think of it as compensation.

Aces's eyes curved into beautiful crescent shapes, and he looked into Snape's eyes slyly, observing his expression carefully.

"Professor, please call me Aces from now on, okay?"

It's better to say it's a request than a request.

Snape lowered his eyes and glared at the stupid troll.

Does he understand how rare a favor from a potion master is and what kind of things he can ask him to do?

Snape wanted to remind him, but Artes seemed to anticipate his move.

Interrupted him directly.

"The professor said that you can do anything. This is the only thing I want."

Seeing that his words didn't seem to be hypocritical, Snape was silent for a long time and then complied with a calm face.

It was rare for Aces to see the potions master look weak, so he couldn't help but test the danger.

"Professor, do you want to call me now?"

Snape pursed his lips, knowing that this troll was always going to push his limits.

When Asseth saw that Snape was silent, he was not surprised and was about to change the subject to relieve the situation.

But the next second, he heard a deep voice sliding into his ear almost next to him.

"I'm sorry about this, Ace."

Without any warning, Snape apologized to Arthas.

Asseth's eyes were full of surprise. Did the professor really scream?

No, the point should be that the professor is apologizing to him?

Merlin! The professor is apologizing!

The look of surprise and shock in Aces's eyes was so obvious that Snape turned his head away, not wanting to see his stupidity.

Feeling Snape's disgust, Artes quickly withdrew his exposed emotions.

"Okay, Professor."

"Although I still don't think it's the professor's fault."

Snape glanced sideways at Artes but didn't respond.

A slick-tongued troll.

Snape didn't want to continue talking to this glib troll.

He turned around neatly and walked out of the manor.

Aces leaned against the door and did not chase him. He just said loudly to Snape who was walking away.

"See you at school, Professor."

Snape's figure paused and disapparated away.

Aces looked at the place where he disappeared.

Suddenly I understood how Dumbledore made this man pay so much to become a spy who almost never returned.

A strong sense of responsibility and an inexplicable denial of oneself are both points that can be exploited.

It's just a sure shot.

Aces gave a sarcastic smile.

What a master at taking advantage of people, Dumbledore.
