HP: Embrace the Darkness

Aces knew the old man's bad taste, so he ignored the distressed look of the old man opposite and put most of the Lemon Snow Bao into his pocket.

After taking it, he raised his head and said to Dumbledore.

"I think it's delicious. I want to take some to my friends. I hope the principal doesn't mind."

Dumbledore's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"do not mind."

Aces smiled and then went straight to the point.

"What does Principal Dumbledore want from me?"

After hearing Asseth's inquiry, Dumbledore put away his bad humor and said apologetically to Asseth.

"I apologize to Mr. Cavendish for Severus' inappropriate behavior."

Asseth sighed softly and explained helplessly for the second time.

"I think the principal should know that my magic power was unstable some time ago."

"The professor was injured when my magic power was rioting, so he didn't oppress me. I was worried that the professor's body was actively doing these actions."

There was no need to hide these things from Dumbledore, so Artes chose to be honest.

Dumbledore naturally knew the real reason. What he was doing now was just to express an attitude and to test Artes.

"is it?"

He was still smiling, his back was relaxed, and the fingertips of his hands were facing each other, and they were pressed together on the table.

"That's really great, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a Potions professor as good as Severus in a short time."

Noticing Dumbledore's movements, Artes began to be alert in his heart, but there was a puzzled expression on his face.

"How come, Professor Snape is so good, why do you want to find a new professor?"

"Mr Cavendish's parents are now school governors and I cannot help but worry that Severus' behavior may have offended them."

"It turns out that the principal said this. My parents were indeed worried that I would be bullied to join the school board. They were preparing for it when I entered school."

"I can't help it. They always worry about me like this, but I promise that they will not do anything inappropriate towards Professor Snape."

Asseth's face was helpless, but he couldn't help but smile, and there was joy in his brows and eyes.

Seeing Artes like this, Dumbledore was relieved and at the same time couldn't help but feel sad.

This is family.

Looking at the old man with sad eyes, Asses continued:

"Since Principal Dumbledore mentioned this matter, it just so happens that I also have something to discuss with Principal Dumbledore."

Dumbledore put away his sadness and looked at Artes seriously, saying that he was all ears.

"what's up?"

Asseth thought for a moment, then said:

"I plan to set up a special fund for potions in the name of the school director."

"What do you mean by special funds for potions?"

Dumbledore was a little confused by this new term.

"This is a Muggle term. It roughly means that the Cavendish family will allocate a portion of gold galleons specifically for potion research. This fund can be used for potion research."

Dumbledore was very tolerant of new things and quickly accepted the new term. He nodded and asked questions.

"Can it only be used in potions?"

"Yes."

"As many as you want?"

"nature."

"The results of the research?"

"If the researcher is willing, he can sell it to us. If he is not willing, we will not force him."

Dumbledore couldn't help but ask: "Do your parents know about this?"

Asseth nodded, "Of course they know and support what I do."

What a big deal, Dumbledore said to himself.

He really didn't expect that Asses could do this, and that the Cavendish family could do this.

You must know that the gold galleons required for potion research start at tens of thousands, and they do not have any requirements for the attribution of research results.

Dumbledore immediately took this matter seriously.

"Then how to use this gold galleons, which is the special fund for potions?"

Aces took out the charter he had prepared and handed it to Dumbledore.

“This is what my father requires of who uses the funds and how to apply for the use of the funds.”

"Except for Professor Snape who does not need to apply and can use the funds directly, everyone else will follow the above process."

Hearing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but glance at Artes.

The kid seemed really grateful to Severus.

You must know that the person who uses most of this fund is definitely Severus, who is the Potions Professor.

This is equivalent to providing unlimited and unlimited funds to Severus to research potions.

Dumbledore squinted his eyes and carefully read the charter handed over by Artes. It was very detailed and had almost no loopholes.

"Duke Cavendish thought so carefully!"

"This is the charter that my father obtained by making slight modifications to the Muggle system."

The second time he heard the word Muggle in Artes' mouth, Dumbledore couldn't help but test Artes's views on Muggles.

"Muggle? Opinion?"

Artes glanced at Dumbledore strangely.

"There is no opinion. They are all human beings. What opinion can I have?"

The novel statement aroused Dumbledore's interest.

"You mean, you don't think there's any difference between them and wizards?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, you are wrong to ask. There is a difference between everyone. There is a difference between wizards and wizards, and there is also a difference between Muggles and Muggles."

"If I have to say, between Muggles and wizards..."

Assel paused, choosing a word that seemed appropriate to him.

"I can only say that each has his or her own strengths."

Dumbledore's eyes sparkled brightly when Asseth said this answer.

"What a smart kid."

He murmured vaguely.

Aces didn't hear what he said clearly and looked at him doubtfully.

Dumbledore put his hand away, put the charter down, and asked a new question.

"Then who will manage this special potion fund?"

"My father means that everything is fine. If it is managed by you, then our family will send people to check the flow of funds regularly."

"If it were managed by us, then my father would send someone to take charge of this matter."

Dumbledore stroked his beard and thought about the people who could manage the funds at Hogwarts.

In the end, it was regrettable to find that no professor at Hogwarts had the time to look at such a large amount of money.

"It's up to you to manage it."

Aces had no objection to this, he had already reached this ending.

"No problem, I'll write to my father when I get back."

"If nothing else happens, the special fund for potions can be officially used next week."

After writing down Dumbledore's request, Artes put away his quill, looked directly into the old man's eyes, and said to him.

"One more thing, I hope that the news of my magical riot will not spread out of Hogwarts."

Dumbledore didn't ask him why and just agreed.

"Of course, no problem, I will remind other professors.
