HP: Embrace the Darkness

"I say it again, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter."

Asseth put down the book in his hand and closed it slowly.

"There's nothing I can do to help you."

Ron tugged hard on Harry's sleeve.

"Let's go, Harry, I told you it's useless to look for him. He is just a student and an evil Slytherin."

Silly trick.

Artes sneered: "Mr. Weasley, poor provocation methods are of no use to me."

"And if you are still so uneducated, then I don't mind letting you know the consequences of being uneducated. "

During this period of time, Aces had been dealing with the British Ministry of Magic due to exams, and had also met several times with Arthur Weasley.

Arthur Weasley was very interested in the Cavendish family, which was both a Muggle duke and a pure-blood family.

I asked him some things during the several meetings, and although his attitude was overly enthusiastic, he was still polite.

Artes didn't understand. He had seen a lot of Weasleys, but none of them were as...uneducated as Ron.

"You! I...I won't-"

Now it was Harry's turn to tug on Ron's sleeve, "Okay, okay, Ron, stop talking."

Harry looked nervous. He still remembered the scene when Artes forced Dumbledore speechless with a few words that day.

He had mixed feelings about Asseth.

I was grateful for his help several times but couldn't help but feel intimidated.

Harry always remembered the first time he saw Artes. His elegant and decent clothes made him look like a pitiful clown.

At that time, he was envious...maybe he was jealous of Asseth, and he might be the same now, but he couldn't help but rely on Asses.

For example, now, Harry stopped Ron, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Cavendish, is Hermione really going to be okay?"

Artes didn't understand Ron's upbringing, and he also didn't understand Harry's thoughts.

He could clearly feel the savior's vague rejection and jealousy towards him, but Harry would come to him whenever he needed something.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. They are all irrelevant people anyway.

Aces drew out his wand slowly and warned in a deep voice:

"She will be fine, but if you still pester me, then I can guarantee that something will happen to you."

"Especially you, Mr. Weasley."

A red light appeared on the tip of the wand at the right time.

The two had no choice but to leave.

What two troubles!

After dealing with the two troublesome people, Asseth no longer even had the desire to read.

But he didn't expect that there would be trouble behind him.

Hogwarts corridors a few days later

Asseth looked at Fudge, who was smiling like a piranha. While he was smiling, he was cursing the bastard who brought Fudge here.

Merlin knows! He had been facing Fudge's face for three days for the exam.

Three days!

Now that I finally came back from the exam, I wanted to see Sif's eyes washed, but I saw Fudge's face again in the corridor.

I don’t know if Fudge has some magical sixth sense.

Ever since the Duke finished chatting with Asseth, his attitude towards Asseth has been extremely good, showing his standard big-toothed smile every time.

Arthur even felt that his smile could compete with Lockhart's smile for the throne of the most "bright" smile.

But with such enthusiasm, he might have sensed something.

Asseth half-narrowed his eyes and looked at Fudge calmly.

It's useless to notice, the net is almost closed.

"Mr. Cavendish's grades are really excellent. I just happened to have something to do when I came to Hogwarts, so I sent him here on the way."

"Since you have something to do, minister, please be busy."

Aces didn't bother to delve into Fudge's thoughts, nor did he want to follow his ideas.

He took the transcript and turned around and left.

He didn't care about Fudge's expression behind him.

Fudge was stunned in place, but he didn't expect that Asseth didn't even bother to deal with it.

If it weren’t for the current situation, I wouldn’t be allowed to fall out…

Fudge clenched his fists and looked reluctantly in the direction where Asseth disappeared.

It wasn't until Ass was completely out of sight that he straightened his expression and walked to the principal's office.

-

Principal Dumbledore was taken away by the Ministry of Magic!

The news spread throughout Hogwarts within a day.

During lunch, the usually noisy Great Hall was even more noisy today, with little wizards everywhere discussing this topic.

Aces listened to a little bit and found that it was quite outrageous, so he stopped listening.

After all, he didn't think Dumbledore would steal the Lemon Olaf from the Ministry of Magic and then be caught.

After finishing his meal quickly and gracefully, Artes stood up and avoided everyone to go to the Room of Requirement.

At this time, in the Room of Requirement, Nina was already holding a Gryffindor girl waiting inside.

As soon as she saw Asseth, Nina couldn't wait to put down the girl in her hands to claim credit.

Aces smiled and praised Nina a few words, and then asked if Nina was discovered when she brought people here.

"No, Master Asseth, Nina is very careful."

Aces lowered his head, walked over and raised his hand to apply a few sleeping spells.

Ginny was still asleep, unaware.

Aces pulled out his wand and cast the Checking Charm again, carefully checking her condition.

"Master Asseth, what happened to her?"

"This is not something you should know."

Nina immediately understood that the young master meant that she could leave.

She blinked and left the Room of Requirement, leaving space for Asseth.

After Nina left, Asseth checked Ginny's physical condition again.

After a while, he put down his wand with a solemn expression.

Ginny's condition was not very good, and she was losing vitality continuously.

Although it is not much, it will definitely leave sequelae over time.

Artes didn't understand why he still didn't let Ginny go, even though that paper Tom should be on Lockhart right now.

Or……

Thinking of a certain possibility, a sharp look flashed in Ass's eyes, and he lowered his eyes to look at Ginny who knew nothing.

Logically speaking, Ginny had nothing to do with their entanglement, but the coincidence at the beginning meant that Ginny could not escape this plan.

Aces didn't hesitate for long. Conscience was dispensable to him, and Ginny had nothing to do with him.

He waved a spell at Ginny.

Ginny opened her eyes numbly, looking at the ceiling blankly, and then turned to look at Artes blankly.

Aces raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

There was nothing special about the crisp snap of fingers, but Ginny pulled out her wand as if she had received some order.

Blue flames burst from the tip of the staff, illuminating the entire Room of Requirement.

The blue firelight reflected on Asseth's expressionless face, with a clear distinction between light and dark.

The side of the face that was not illuminated had a cold look in his eyes, which sent chills down to the bone for no reason.

Aces snapped his fingers again, this time the sound was different, and Ginny's movements were also different from before.

"fainted"

Ginny shouted, and the curse flew towards Artes.
