HP: Embrace the Darkness

Compared to the others, Luna had little fear of Snape.

So under the horrified gazes of the other little wizards, she followed her inner voice, walked up to the podium with her textbook in hand, and looked fearlessly into Snape's eyes.

"Professor Snape, may I touch it?"

Snape lowered his face, looked at the little white cat who was frozen in place, and sneered solemnly: "You should ask him this question."

It's over now.

Artes shrank his neck, not a single hair blocking Snape's cold air. He could only lower his head and silently refuse Luna's request.

Luna understood Artes's rejection and lowered her eyes in disappointment, "It doesn't seem to want me to get close. Excuse me, Professor Snape."

The little girl who received a lot of attention left the podium with a wink after being rejected, becoming the first little wizard to leave the potions classroom.

Snape knocked on the podium table and smiled smoothly.

"If you don't want to leave, I believe you will be welcome to jobs that require strong mental qualities, such as... squeezing out mucus for slugs, or filtering their mucus."

Squeezing out mucus for slugs? Need to filter?

Merlin, what a cruel punishment.

A group of young wizards immediately looked back, grimacing and packing their things. Their hands were shaking like Parkinson's disease, but it did not affect their efficiency. A minute later, only Snape and a silent Arthur were left in the classroom.

"You better think of how to explain it, otherwise I don't mind letting you become a stray cat."

Snape grabbed Artes with a cold face, held him in his arms, covered him with a black robe, and walked out of the classroom quickly.

Ace's body suddenly became stiff.

explain? How to explain this?

Is it useful to say that he misses him?

He doesn't want to be a stray cat.

Maomao pressed sadly against the Potions Master's chest.

Feeling the body pressing against his chest and the constant warmth, Snape unconsciously slowed down.

"Severus."

Professor McGonagall walked up the corridor with two students and greeted Snape with a smile.

Snape nodded back.

The two passed each other.

Professor McGonagall stopped suddenly and looked back at Snape, who was walking slower than usual.

"Strange, is it an illusion? Why do you feel so close to Severus?"

The two students who heard Professor McGonagall talking to herself widened their eyes in horror. They couldn't believe what their ears heard. Friendly? Professor Snape? Can these two be related?

"This feeling……"

Professor McGonagall wanted to catch up and ask, but when she saw the two students' open mouths, she gave up the idea and turned back in three steps.

Entering the cellar, Snape's heart finally fell to the ground. He immediately opened his black robe and threw away the kitten ruthlessly.

"Change back." He ordered simply and concisely.

Aces was keenly aware of the danger and quickly shook his head. Feeling that it was not enough, he took a catwalk and tilted his head to rub Snape's calf. When he looked over, he opened his belly to please her, trying to get away with it.

Snape lowered his eyes and stared at the cat who pretended not to understand human words, and sneered.

"Since you don't want to change back, then just keep it. If you change back, I will throw you out."

Ases, who was tilting his head and trying to be coquettish, heard this and his pupils were shaking. He was not sure about the strength and direction of his coquettishness, and his head fell to the floor.

Seeing that this stupid cat was about to achieve the face-stopping achievement, the potion master who had seen enough of the show finally reached out his hand, pinched the back of his neck, and lifted him up.

"Nina."

Nina appeared with a bang, "Professor Snape, do you have anything to do with Nina?"

"Prepare dried fish for your good young master."

Snape carried the dejected kitten and shook it towards the stunned Nina.

"Come on, call Nina."

Aces let out a "meow" in response.

Nina's eyes widened in horror, her gaze flicking back and forth between the kitten and Snape in shock.

For some reason, Snape always felt that the elf had made up something that he didn't know.

Now he had no intention of teasing the elf. He put the cat on his shoulder with his backhand, turned around and sat back in the office chair, and ordered: "Prepare some food for us."

Nina ran to the desk in small steps, stood on tiptoes on the table to look at the kitten on Snape's shoulder, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Is this really the young master? Professor Snape."

Snape was always more patient with this elf who prepared food for him every day and guessed his preferences perfectly than with the little wizard. After hearing this, he picked up the kitten, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Nina.

"Besides your young master, do you think anyone can stay in the cellar?"

Aces nodded in agreement.

Nina covered her mouth, it was really the young master, such a young master is so cute!

Seeing that Nina was immersed in Artes' new image and couldn't help herself, Snape picked up one-third of the information that Artes had seen and checked his notes.

Aces sat on the table, enjoying Nina's sparkling eyes while peeking at Snape's movements from the corner of his eye.

After a while, Nina finally remembered her mission under the free charm of her cat Master Mao.

"Sorry, Professor Snape, Nina was so happy that she forgot to prepare the food."

Snape kept writing and took a moment to look at Nina, "It's not too late to go now."

"Okay, Professor Snape, Master, wait for Nina, Nina will be quick."

The elf disappeared into the cellar with a pop.

Aces raised his paw out of habit, but before he could lick it, Snape caught it in time and pinched it.

"You want to lick your hands?"

Looking at the thin lips that opened and closed, Asseth shook his head honestly and meowed a few more times.

No, I want to kiss you more.

Although Snape did not understand the language of cats, he understood Artes.

The man's eyes were fixed on his lips, and it was obvious what he was thinking.

The Potions Master narrowed his eyes dangerously and said softly, "Come here and I'll give you some extra lessons."

The gorgeous and seductive male voice slid in against the cat's ears. Artes was so fascinated that his ears trembled unconsciously and he walked over unsteadily.

I didn’t realize the danger hidden behind the smile, the poison hidden behind the candy.

Snape opened a piece of parchment hanging to the ground, pointed at the experimental data on it, and said ruthlessly: "Memorize all of these."

wow-

A basin of cold water fell from the sky.

The kitten looked at the parchment that was more than ten times longer than him in disbelief and meowed wildly.

Snape was not in a hurry. When he was tired, he casually smashed a bomb and said, "They will ask."

Well, he learns.

Aces immediately changed his face, stepped on the parchment and memorized the data, and muttered words that Snape could not understand.

After the simplest endorsement task was handed over, Snape took out another piece of parchment, picked up a quill, and began to list the questions that the committee might ask.

Prepare for the next endorsement task for Asseth.
