HP: Embrace the Darkness

The screen suddenly split in two.

Two scenes appear at the same time, but the protagonists are different.

Dumbledore recognized one of them as Severus, who had just graduated. He glanced at Severus' expression "openly", then turned his head and watched carefully.

McGonagall also glanced at Severus' expression and turned her head away.

Flitwick stood on tiptoe and was about to take a look at Severus' expression when he was glared at by Severus, who could no longer bear it.

"Have you seen enough?"

Sprout, who was eager to try, silently withdrew his gaze and patted Flitwick's shoulder sympathetically. "Filius, you are so unlucky."

It caught up with Severus's patience running out.

Flitwick also felt that he was unlucky, and he was filled with grief. He comforted himself with a bitter face: "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that Severus glared at him. It's not like he hasn't been glared at before."

Dumbledore and McGonagall, who were not glared at, pretended to be deaf and dumb, with their eyes glued to the two screens.

[“Aesus von Cavendish, this is your name…”]

On the left screen, a man is holding a baby, and on the right screen, Severus walks out of Voldemort's manor with the Dark Mark engraved on his arm.

"Aesus von Cavendish." Dumbledore slowly repeated the name the man said, muttering to himself, "This is the name that Severus just called out, Cavendish... I remember that this family is now developing in Germany."

McGonagall seemed to have thought of something, "Albus, do you remember? The invitation we received last year was from this family."

After McGonagall's reminder, Dumbledore also remembered this and called Phoenix, "Fawkes, there is a stack of letters on my desk, help me get them."

Phoenix soon returned with a stack of letters.

Dumbledore flipped through the pages and found a letter signed by William Cavendish.

"You have a very good memory, Minerva." Dumbledore handed the letter to Severus, who was sitting upright but glancing over. "Take a look, Severus."

The images on the screen jumped very quickly. During the few minutes of picking up and looking for the letter, the screen had already jumped to Severus joining Hogwarts.

That is 1981 years.

In the same year, when Athis was four years old, he began to receive lessons from a tutor, taking Muggle courses.

"Having to go to school at the age of four?" Flitwick couldn't believe what kind of suffering this was.

McGonagall and Sprout looked at the children who had to attend five hours of classes a day with a look of pity on their faces.

Dumbledore and Severus were the only two people who showed no emotional fluctuations. They were always on guard against this unknown dark plot and could not spare too much sympathy for a strange child.

Late 1981.

Voldemort failed and turned into a remnant soul.

The screen generously showed how Voldemort died.

McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick:!

Dumbledore looked at Severus first, but Severus lowered his eyes and said nothing.

As if knowing that he was in a bad mood, the screen jumped quickly, passing through most of the content that was not convenient to make public and going to 1983.

This year, the magic riot of Assas occurred.

[Half of the majestic castle collapsed, and William had no choice but to find Anna and discuss with her, "Dear, we have to think of a way. This won't work. Aces still can't control his magic." Anna listened and rushed to make alchemical tools overnight. She took a two-pronged approach, relying on external forces to control it while learning how to control it, and only then did she save the rest of the castle.]
