HP: Embrace the Darkness

Soon, the chat between several people came to an end.

After this chat, looking at the smiles on the faces of the Duke and Lucius, one can tell that their "gain" is definitely not cheap.

When Aces and the others left, Lucius even walked them to the door enthusiastically. It was not until the Duke repeatedly resisted that he turned around and left.

Seeing Lucius leave with a happy expression, Artes narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that Lucius is very satisfied with the result of the chat?"

The Duke glanced at him and said, "We chatted for so long and you didn't listen to a word?"

"I was checking Draco's study progress and wasn't paying attention."

"Really?"

The Duke looked suspicious, "Even if you are checking your study progress, you won't hear a word. How about your usual multitasking?"

His questioning gaze was too obvious, and Asseth didn't react at all. Anna beside him couldn't stand it any longer, and pushed him away with a slap.

"When my son asks you, just say, why are you asking so many questions?"

Aces followed Anna's footsteps and nodded repeatedly to the Duke, "Mom is right."

"you!"

"What are you, you still want to kill my son?"

With Anna around, Asseth didn't worry about his personal safety at all, and he still had the time to raise his eyebrows at the Duke.

The Duke was so angry that his eyes burned.

"But son, what's going on between you and Mr. Snape?"

Before Asses could be proud, Anna suddenly turned to him.

"Is it because of you that he suddenly closed the book just now?"

This time it was the Duke's turn to take his time and raise his eyebrows at Asseth in anticipation of the show.

"...Yes, I was chatting with the professor just now and I disturbed him."

Anna frowned slightly, "Where are your etiquette? Asses."

"The professor is not an outsider."

After hearing Asses' answer, Anna stopped and looked at his expression carefully. Even the Duke became serious.

Aces looked calm and allowed the two of them to look at him, not forgetting to use a magic spell to cover the surroundings.

After a while, Anna spoke again, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Snape is a Death Eater."

"Yes, mother."

"Do you remember why you went to Hogwarts?"

"I remember."

Anna raised her hand to tidy up Ass's scattered hair. Her movements were gentle and patient, and the Duke's eyes turned red as he watched.

"As long as you know what you're doing, you'll be fine."

She has no intention of getting involved in Asseth's friendship. Asses has his own life, and even if she is a mother, she cannot control his life.

Aces lowered his head to make it easier for Anna to move, and said with a smile, "Of course, I know exactly what I am doing."

"Thank you, Mom."

"cough cough"

A huge coughing sound came from the Duke, and Artes laughed and added, "And daddy."

The Duke then stopped with satisfaction.

-

After officially recognizing their godson, the two manors secretly operated and opened a floo network beyond the Ministry of Magic.

So Draco went to Cavendish Manor when he had time. He was either at Cavendish Manor or on the way to Cavendish Manor every day.

"Aces!"

Aces sat on the sofa, looking down at the parchment in his hand. Hearing the sound, he skillfully raised his hand to resist Draco who was rushing towards him.

Being resisted again, Draco slapped his hand away dissatisfied, "Hey, you do this again."

Aces put down the parchment and looked at Draco with a headache, "Draco, I remember you didn't go home until this morning, right?"

Draco threw himself onto the sofa and let Nina get him some snacks comfortably.

"Hmph, if you weren't so busy and invisible every day, would I need to come here every day?"

Speaking of this, Draco curled his lips unhappily and looked at Aces accusingly.

"Five times! Five times! I came a dozen times and only saw you five times!"

Seeing the angry Draco, Asseth was also helpless.

Ever since his father knew that he was an adult, he began to take him out frequently to manage the family business and meet all kinds of people.

After a month, Asseth felt that his face was almost frozen with laughter.

But on the contrary, his name completely appeared in front of everyone.

If before mentioning him, everyone would think of Cavendish's heir, now when mentioning him, everyone would think of him.

Turning over the report in his hand, Asseth wisely chose to change the subject.

"Have you finished your homework?"

"Not yet, but isn't there still time?"

Draco said nonchalantly.

"There is indeed time, but you can't put it off until the last day. Make it clear in advance that I won't help you."

Draco took the snack handed over by Nina and "hummed" at Asseth, "I don't need your help, I can do it myself!"

Aces didn't really believe what he said, but he didn't refute him. He just put away the reports on various industries in his hands.

"I still have time today. Since you don't want to do your homework, it's just a good time to check whether you have made any progress."

Check progress?

Draco's eyes rolled around and he quickly put on a smile, "The rocket crossbow?"

"If you persist under Elise for half an hour, I will get it for you even if it hasn't come out yet, how about it?"

Draco jumped up from the sofa and looked at Arthas with piercing eyes, "You can't go back on your word."

"of course."

Cavendish Manor Training Ground.

Aces walked in with Draco.

This was Draco's first time coming to this training ground, and he looked around in amazement.

The training ground is very large, with various training equipment placed in the wide space, and many wooden figures erected in it, which looks very novel.

Draco looked at them one by one. He didn't know how to use many of them, but they looked very interesting.

He looked at the equipment eagerly, "Aces, can I use it?"

"Not yet, you have to practice the Iron Armor Curse first."

Aces refused him without hesitation.

There are no protective measures on these equipments. Even for him, injuries are common. This is because he is particularly good at the Iron Armor Curse.

Draco was unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but Ace pointed directly at a shaky figure in the corner.

"If you use the Iron Armor Curse without even mastering it, your end will be worse than hers."

With that said, Asseth reluctantly pulled out his wand and waved it, picking up the almost exhausted Elise.

"You're too strong, Elise."

"Thank you...thank you sir."

Elise sat on the ground in embarrassment, her voice was broken and her breathing was rapid.

"Sir, don't... don't worry, I asked Nina to pick me up when I fall."

Elise has always believed in what Ass said, but on this matter, no matter how many times Ass said it, she would not compromise.

Asseth knew the reason and didn't force it.

"You take a rest first and then have a fight with Draco."

"Okay, sir."

Elise turned around and was about to go to the corner to rest, but Asseth stopped her.

"Wait a minute Elise, do you still have your energy potion?"

Elise lowered her head and stared at Asseth's feet, "...No more."

It can be said that Artes was not surprised by this result. He was surprised that she had some energy potions left after spending time in the training room every day.
