HP: Embrace the Darkness

"A way out?"

Aces stretched lazily, twirling his tail out of boredom, his voice was careless.

"According to your concept, what is the way out? The way to escape unscathed? But as early as I came here, I had no way out. I was walking on a destined path. Fortunately, I knew myself well enough."

Dumbledore didn't understand, and wanted to continue asking, but the little white tiger's eyes changed, becoming ignorant and naive.

This was a look that neither Artes nor Dumbledore could have. Dumbledore looked at it and knew that Artes had left. He sighed again. He turned around and went to support Professor McGonagall.

As soon as Artes came back, Snape raised his eyebrows with a bad look on his face. Due to his physical condition, he did not take action, but asked from a distance:

"What did you just say to Albus?"

"Speaking of...Dumbledore-style persuasion?"

Artes was not at all as lazy as before, he answered Snape's questions obediently, his peach blossom eyes narrowed in a great mood, and he stared at his lover intently.

Snape saw the face reflected inside and calmly distanced himself from Artes.

Artes suddenly felt something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Snape expectantly, "Sif, I found the traces of Halpo, can I go and avenge you?"

Snape was sure that if this man had a tail, it would be wagging to the sky.

Amused by the wagging tail of Artes in his mind, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his scarlet eyes suddenly lost the fierceness they had when Voldemort was around.

"Okay, stay safe."

After so many times, he finally understood that the relationship between Aces and Haierbo was definitely not that simple. Simple things could not make them fall out. Both of them were measured people, so there was no need to worry about them fighting. It will get out of control.

Arthur's trust in Snape served him well.

Unfortunately, due to Voldemort's physical condition, he could only express his love with his eyes. I'm afraid this helplessness will continue for some time.

And it's all because of Herbo and Voldemort.

Where Snape couldn't see him, Asseth's eyes were filled with rolling darkness. When he raised his head, there was only a smile, with no sign of anger.

"I'm leaving?"

"Ah."

"Really gone?"

"Ah."

"Am I really leaving?"

"……roll."

Snape shouted angrily with a dark face.

Satisfied, Artes left Malfoy Manor without looking back.

According to the sensed position, he apparated one after another and found Haierbo by a river.

Haierbo was soaking in the water with his snake body. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was a piece of dead wood.

Aces picked up a stone and threw it over, hitting the snake's head quickly and hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "You are really leisurely."

Haierbo turned his head and continued to sleep indifferently.

He calculated the time well. At this time, Artes was in a good mood after meeting Snape. He would only get scolded a few times when he showed up. If he had a fight, there would be no problem.

Seeing him like this, Asses became even more angry. He picked up another big stone and aimed to throw it out.

"Why don't you get up? If I help you up by myself, it won't be so comfortable."

Haierbo looked at the size of the stone and didn't want to open the ladle, so he turned sideways and hid, swam ashore, changed back to his human form, and spread his hands ruthlessly.

"Okay, I've changed back, what next?"

"Then?" Asses's face suddenly turned cold. He stepped forward, grabbed Haierbo's collar and punched him, causing Haierbo who was caught off guard to tilt his head. "Then of course, there will be revenge, and there will be revenge."

Haierbo really didn't expect Ases to fight hand to hand. The punch was so strong that his lip was instantly broken and a few drops of blood flowed out.

He licked his lips, his eyes dark and cold, "You're a bit too much, Salazar knows how to hit someone in the face."

Asseth twitched the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "I know that too, but I did it on purpose."

Haierbo took out the snake staff, and the snake at the top of the snake staff slowly swam into his hand, entwined it, formed something like a glove, and wrapped his hand.

"Since you want to be beaten, let me try it with you."

"Try? That's okay."

Aces suppressed his fake smile, expressionlessly took off his coat, took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. Then he slowly unbuttoned the cuffs and rolled up the sleeves, revealing his strong arms.

Haierbo almost laughed out loud when he saw the pair of white gloves. Asses seized the opportunity and punched him. Haierbo realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ducked away.

But Asseth seemed to have calculated his position, turned his fist into a grasp, and aimed hard with his other hand to punch.

A pain in the face.

Another punch.

Haierbo was a little angry.

He got serious and punched Asseth.

Aces turned his head to dodge, grabbed Haierbo's wrist, and bent it. There was a crisp sound, and his elbow was dislocated.

Aces' fighting skills were specially learned. Every move directly hits the weak point of the human body. Except for the two punches at the beginning, the other attacks are only offensive but not defensive, as if he is simply venting his emotions.

This desperate posture made it difficult for Haierbo to resist, not to mention that he dislocated one hand at the beginning and could not find a chance to reconnect it.

After a while, Haierbo received an unknown number of punches. Asses even greeted him in the face. The hood of the black robe that enhanced his temperament was knocked off, and there were varying degrees of redness and bloodshot wounds on both sides of the corners of his lips.

Aces was a little better than him, but not much better.

Two buttons that had been neatly buttoned to the collar before the beating were torn off, revealing a sweaty neck. One side of the cheek was scratched by Haierbo's glove. A trace of blood flowed down and dripped on the pure white shirt. .

Smelling the smell of blood, bloodshot eyes appeared in Asses's eyes, and he moved three minutes faster, twisting back Halbo's attacking hand in an almost cathartic manner.

"Okay, okay, I admit defeat, let go of your damn hand! My hand is going to be broken!!"

Haierbo didn't know where Asses learned this shit. It twisted every joint in his joints like his own and made them squeak and hurt.

Aces suddenly stopped and gasped for air. His eyes were still blood red, and the smell of blood in his nose seemed to be stronger. It was so strong that he had hallucinations and couldn't tell reality from fiction.

Haierbo didn't wait for Ases to let go, and turned around in confusion, just in time to bump into a pair of red eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and then started to beat wildly.

He recalled the bad things he had done recently with fear, but no matter how he recalled it, he could only accidentally let Snape and Voldemort switch bodies, and it was not intentional.

It's not a problem to be in a stalemate here. Haierbo hesitated again and again, but still didn't use the snake staff to provoke Asseth away, and just asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Aces' pupils moved slightly and he bit the tip of his tongue hard. The pain shattered the illusion. He was silent for a long time and slowly let go of his hand.

He seemed extremely tired. As soon as he let go, he took his coat and put it on the ground. He sat down and looked at the lake in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

For a long time, he looked at Haierbo.

"You go."
