HP: Embrace the Darkness

Ases took in the difference between the two and sighed calmly. The house-elf saw him and froze in his hands as he was about to take back the bottle. He hesitated for a moment and then collapsed and slammed into the wall next to him. "Master, it's all Rocco's fault. It's all Rocco's fault. Rocco shouldn't have taken the young master's bottle. Rocco was wrong."

"Okay, be quiet." Aces said solemnly, forcibly pulling the bottle from the little fat boy's hand and handing it to the house elf named Rocco, "Change it with another bottle."

With the task, the house-elf stopped punishing himself. He took the bottle with sobs and disappeared while muttering something like "Nina is right, the young master is really so nice..."

Another house elf came over carefully, "Master, the young lady is asleep. I need to cover her with a blanket."

The tiny little guy is already wearing thick clothes and wrapped up like a dumpling, but he still needs to be covered with a quilt.

The guy next to him was wearing a set of clothes of moderate thickness, but he was very lively and energetic. It shows how big the gap is.

"Let me do it."

Athis stopped the house-elf and picked up the quilt quietly. Before he covered it, the little guy who had just fallen asleep opened his eyes again, yawned softly, and stared at Athis with his misty black eyes without blinking.

One was clear, the other was deep; two pairs of completely different black eyes stared at each other quietly.

Snape floated over, looked at both ends, and suddenly froze. He bent down and got closer, examining them carefully without missing any details.

Although the baby in the cradle has not fully grown yet, his eyes are almost identical to Ases's, and even his lips have a subtle curve that shows a smile without saying a word.

But compared to the affectionate look in Assas' eyes when he looks at people, the child's eyes are more innocent and clear. If I have to find a word to describe them, it would probably be harmless and well-behaved.

The Potions Master is a person who loves everyone in his family and has a very clear distinction between love and hate.

If you love someone, you want him to live; if you hate someone, you want him to die.

Now, seeing a baby who had many similarities with Ases, his heart immediately, instantly, and inevitably turned to him.

He stretched out his hand and gently touched the tip of the baby's nose, but separated without touching. His cautious action inadvertently revealed his tenderness.

"elder brother!"

The door was suddenly opened from the outside. The platinum-colored figure paused and lowered his voice automatically when he saw the situation inside.

"Brother, is my sister asleep?"

Draco was obviously a frequent visitor here. When he saw Aces holding the small quilt, he immediately understood what was happening.

Ases covered the yellow ball with the quilt in his hand and said, "I didn't sleep. I just woke up. Why are you here?"

Draco breathed a sigh of relief, and the dog's stealthy steps returned to normal. He quickly walked to Aces and looked at the baby in the cradle with him.

"I'm here to see my sister...and my brother."

Aces glanced at him with a half-smile.

“You don’t have to add any more.”

"I don't want to be partial, but when I see my sister so skinny and pitiful, about to fall down if the wind blows, I can't help it." Draco crossed his arms and said distressedly.

Aces could understand Draco.

After all, just now for a moment he only remembered the little guy in front of him and forgot there was a little ball behind him.

"Have you been here often these days?"

"Of course, you don't know how much I want a sister, but my father——"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he paused and suddenly stopped talking.

I just laughed it off and let it go.
