HP: Embrace the Darkness

Cellar corridor.

Snape walked quickly, his black robe swinging as he went along, his face looking frighteningly dark.

Damn that guy, instead of being an Auror, he came back to be the Head of Gryffindor and make things difficult for him!!!

Snape's face became even gloomier as he thought about having to face that annoying face every day and cleaning up the mess from time to time.

As soon as he entered the cellar, before he had time to close the door, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled him into a warm embrace.

Almost reflexively, Snape drew his wand.

The next second, the familiar scent that rushed to his nose made him relax his guard.

It was Arces, his lover.

"I suppose I had said that such behavior was dangerous. If I hadn't reacted, you wouldn't even know how you died!"

Snape was still scolding Athis for his reckless and stupid behavior, but his hands had subconsciously returned the hug and even patted him gently. He knew that Athis was very obsessed with hugs.

"Sev, I missed you so much."

Aces closed the door, tilted his head to kiss Snape's lips, and whispered softly.

Ases never hesitates to express his feelings to his lover, either in words or actions.

Hit by his lover's straight shot, Snape's eyes softened visibly.

"Me too."

Hearing the response from his lover, Ases hugged his lover's waist tightly, leaned in and kissed him, deepening the kiss with pleasure.

After the kiss, they separated, breathless and looking a little embarrassed.

Aces reached out and straightened Snape's messy hair. "What's wrong? You didn't look well just now?"

The anger that had been soothed by the lover's kiss rose again.

Snape's face was as gloomy as water and his tongue was extremely sharp. He complained about the future unreliable Head of Gryffindor, and his disgust and impatience were almost overflowing from his words.

The surging anger covered Snape's bloodless cheeks with a layer of light red like clouds, completely changing his previous lifeless appearance, and the whole person looked extremely lively.

Aces watched tenderly as his lover criticized the future Head of Gryffindor, ignoring the sarcasm in his words.

He loved him to talk to him, no matter what it was.

It’s just that being angry isn’t a good thing.

Aces pondered for a moment, and suddenly interrupted Snape's complaints: "Sev, if you don't want to see Potter, let's go traveling."

"Travel?" Snape raised his eyebrows and slowly uttered the two words.

"Yes, traveling." Aces held Snape's hand. "When I inspected industries over the years, every time I went to a place, I would think how nice it would be if you were by my side, but you were never free."

At the end, Aces' face was full of resentment. It took him a long time to suppress his emotions and explain: "Now is a good opportunity. I just saved a potion master. He will come to teach you. Let Albus take care of the headmaster's affairs for a few days. What do you think?"

Snape was moved.

I can travel with my lover, I don’t have to correct meaningless papers that are like waste paper, I don’t have to face annoying and brainless students, and I don’t have to face the reckless and impatient Porter.

Kill four birds with one stone!

"it is good."

He agreed readily, with almost no hesitation.

"If you don't want to—"

Asais, who was about to persuade him again, stopped talking, froze for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Sif, did you say yes?"

Snape nodded.

"Yes, I agree."

good!?

It’s really good!

Being hit by the pie that fell from the sky, Ases felt dizzy as if he was walking on clouds and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

He didn't actually hold out much hope at first and was thinking of waiting for a few more days.

Why do you agree now?!
