HP: Embrace the Darkness

Hermione was not stupid enough to die. She stopped at a distance, without completely leaving the protection of the cabin, and threw a spell at the stone from a distance.

The rocks exploded and smoke filled the sky.

Others came out one after another and gathered behind Hermione, also holding their wands.

But when the smoke and dust settled, the large rock was empty.

Everyone looked at each other.

Out of caution, Hermione searched the area again but found nothing, so she had to take everyone to another place.

On the other side, Rowena took Ases back to Cavendish Manor.

Draco has grown a lot over the years. Since Athis didn't say he would inform other people, he tried his best to keep the news about Lucius and Narcissa a secret.

When Joel asked why he was seeing a doctor, he answered that he was not feeling well.

Susanna, who was passing by, asked casually, but was also dismissed by him with the same excuse.

After the doctor finished the examination, he unexpectedly used "Obliviate" on the doctor, trying his best to ensure that no one except him and Athis knew that Lucius and Narcissa were in his room, and then he personally sent them out.

In the small greenhouse next to the maze downstairs, Rowena and Aces sat opposite each other, keeping a close eye on all of Draco's little movements.

The black panther lying at Ases' feet swung its tail, glanced at Ases' expression with its golden eyes, quietly hid Ases' calf into its belly, and yawned comfortably.

Rowena's eyes were filled with jealousy, and she lowered her hands as if nothing had happened. She took the opportunity when the man and the leopard didn't react to slap the black panther's big face.

"Comfortable."

Rowena calmly withdrew her hand.

The lady regained her former elegance and looked at the doctor who had just walked out of the door. She swept her magic power and quickly and accurately cleared away the memories that she had not forgotten, and also wiped out the traces left by Draco.

"He was quite cautious, but not ruthless enough. He left the victim alive even though he knew he couldn't get rid of him."

"Too much is as bad as too little...Draco's control over magic is no match for you. This is the best he can do without damaging his brain."

Aces glanced at Draco who was walking back. Although his expression did not show it, his tone was full of pride.

Rowena clicked her tongue and shook her head, then suddenly paused and turned to look in another direction. Ases was half a beat slower than her.

"This guy is really capable and has good talent, but he's a little stupid. He got himself into this state for no reason." Rowena shook her head and looked away first.

"really."

Asseth nodded in agreement.

I don’t know whether to agree that he can be hardworking, or that he is talented, or that he is stupid.

The protagonists of their conversation were still trying to destroy a stronghold composed of Aurors who survived the previous night raid.

The simple building had been completely destroyed. Moody, the leader, stopped Voldemort alone in order to buy time for others, and eventually died at Voldemort's hands.

Fortunately, his cover played a certain role. More than a dozen Aurors escaped the encirclement with serious injuries, and the Death Eaters failed to leave them behind.

The Death Eaters were afraid that the Aurors' escape would lead to their punishment, so they took out their anger on those Aurors who did not escape. Their methods became even more cruel, and their blood covered the ground and flowed to Voldemort's feet.

Voldemort lowered his head, looked at the devastated scene and the Auror who had been tortured to the point of losing his ability to move, and smiled cruelly.

Aces and Rowena appeared silently behind the tree.

Seeing the blood on the ground almost flowing to his feet, Rowena moved to the side, frowned, raised her hand, and a silver-white staff inlaid with sapphires, slightly smaller than Merlin's, appeared from the void and was held by her.

Aces suddenly turned his head and asked, "You want to save them?"

Rowena was confused: "Why not save him? It's just a convenience--"

She suddenly reacted and looked at Ases with complicated eyes, but finally she took back the staff without saying a word.

"It looks like he can't bear it any longer. When are you going to make your move? If you keep dragging it out... Never mind. You should know what Godric said. If you live too long, you will become nagging. If you keep living, I'm afraid he will be annoyed to death."

Rowena laughed to herself.

Asseth disagrees.

"It's a warning from Ms. Ravenclaw. How many people want it but can't get it. If they heard your self-deprecating words, they would probably be so angry that they would die."

"You're so sweet." Rowena glanced at Ases. "Don't think I don't know you're trying to change the subject. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ases raised his index finger and gently pressed it against his lips, his eyebrows curved, "Secret."

At the same time, the dungeon of Malfoy Manor exploded. The Death Eaters who stayed behind heard the noise and came over, but were stunned by the scene before them.

Countless corpses were pouring out of the dungeon in layers. They were really pouring out. A dark, sticky liquid that emitted a foul odor flowed out from all directions, rising continuously, holding up these corpses that had obviously been dead for a long time.

Some of these corpses had broken hands, some had broken feet, and some even had only skeletons left on their bodies, but they did not seem to be affected by their mutilated bodies.

After touching the air, it was as if a switch was turned on, and they came to life one after another, climbing up in strange postures, even though they were stepping on the bodies of people they could call their companions.

The Death Eaters guarding the dungeon were so frightened that they could not hold their wands and forgot to resist. In the end, they were drowned in the black water without even a scream.
