HP: Embrace the Darkness

After receiving the warning, the mischievous little wizard seemed to be calm on the surface, but behind the scenes he still verbally excluded or ignored Luna.

Luna said nothing about their exclusion, nor did she change her behavior. She just silently did her own thing and was immersed in her own world.

Within a few days, when Asses didn't show up again, these ostracizing behaviors became more and more excessive.

This time the movements were more subtle and careful than before, more like a test.

Artes naturally knew that they were starting to play pranks again, but this time he did not stop it himself. Instead, he returned to the cellar to find Snape inside and complained.

"Sev, they don't listen to me."

Snape leaned back in his chair and glanced lazily at Artes, "Tell me about it."

"I warned them about Miss Lovegood's incident before, but now they've started it again."

As Ass explained, he glanced at Snape's face.

Snape's expression only fluctuated for a moment when he mentioned that matter, but he still said nothing.

Seeing this, Asseth casually took a blank piece of parchment, threw it on the ground, conjured up a chair and sat down, pretending to be depressed and repeated.

"Sev, they don't listen to me."

Snape looked at the frustrated Artes in front of him, and even though he knew he was pretending, he still couldn't hold it back and asked, "What do you want?"

"Sev, how about we help Miss Lovegood? Hogwarts is a place for learning, not for playing pranks on your classmates."

Aces considered the suggestion.

Snape did not answer, but stared into Asseth's eyes, looking at the figure reflected in them.

In a daze, it seemed like I was seeing him from a long, long time ago inside.

If Ates appeared in his world at that time, would his life lead to another possibility?

Will it be completely different?

After a long time, Snape heard his own voice answering. What he said was...

"it is good."

In the following days, the young wizards at Hogwarts suddenly noticed that the dark potions professor appeared in the corridors more frequently.

Every time he appears, he has a dark face and wanders around Hogwarts aimlessly, as if he is looking for something or looking for a punching bag to vent his anger on.

"Isn't that what you mean?"

In the corner of the corridor, the red-haired twins pulled Ron and a few others and whispered.

Hermione expressed confusion about the two people's speculations. Aren't looking for something and finding the pump both looking for something?

Fred raised a finger and shook it in a pretentious manner, "It's different. There are so many potions to find in the Potions class, especially when Harry is here. Why is Professor Snape looking for them in the corridor?"

"It means this punching bag is not an ordinary punching bag." George added.

Fred nodded and continued:

"But it's different to find something. What is it that is so important that it can allow Professor Snape to leave that gloomy cellar?"

"What is it?" The trio of unknown people asked in unison.

Fred and George looked at each other, "This must be a secret."

"Maybe his favorite shampoo."

"Maybe it's a gift from someone he likes."

the person I like?

Everyone looked at George who made this guess, and George also looked down at himself.

In the end, this speculation was unanimously denied by everyone.

Before they could finish guessing, Snape suddenly appeared around the corner.

The twins were facing the corner and had sharp eyes.

As soon as he saw the presence of the black robe, he immediately turned around and ran away.

As they ran away, they only had enough conscience left to turn around and remind the other three people.

"It's dark! It's dark!"

The other three people did not understand the secret language they created, and watched the two disappearing figures without knowing why, until Snape's voice came from behind them.

"Everyone will be deducted five points for making irresponsible remarks about the professor."

The three of them froze in place, not daring to look back.

There were many students who secretly guessed like the twins, but most of the young wizards thought that Snape had lost the potion ingredients.

The nefarious little wizard even quietly opened a bet on how many days Snape would return to the cellar.

Huangtian paid off, and finally, under their quiet observation, he accidentally witnessed the scene where the Potions Professor bumped into Luna, who was secretly being excluded and playing pranks.

The hearts of the little wizards watching suddenly jumped.

At the same time, I silently expressed my deep sympathy to the little wizard involved in this matter.

Yesterday, Gryffindor was deducted twenty-five points, and today they played a prank in front of the Potions Master. This was really a mistake.

As expected, all the little wizards who participated were scolded by the angry Potions Professor, almost to the point of crying.

In the chaos, Artes hid in the corner and used a teleportation spell on Hermione who was watching.

Hermione was stunned and looked back around the corner.

Seeing clearly that it was Asseth inside, she didn't hesitate, left her two friends and ran over.

"Professor Cavendish, what do you want from me?"

Aces looked at the red-haired witch, "I know you are a smart witch, can you do me a favor?"

Hermione's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement.

After the two of them finished talking, Snape's handling over there was almost finished.

All participating young wizards were punished with confinement one by one, and points were deducted from their respective colleges.

After doing all this, Snape looked at Luna and suddenly felt relaxed.

There is no way to undo the past.

But when he gives the justice and help he did not receive to another person in need.

There is an inexplicable illusion, as if I am maintaining and embracing my past self.

A simple hug.

Across time and space, the two reconcile.

"Thank you, Professor Snape."

Luna's thanks brought Snapra back to his senses, and he subconsciously nodded slightly to Luna, his expression rare and peaceful.

There is no need for other little wizards to go through what he has experienced.

Rain is never necessary.

It’s just that I didn’t meet anyone willing to hold an umbrella.

Snape looked back at Asseth, who was smiling at him in the corner, and silently added in his mind.

He met.

And he will secretly become the one holding the umbrella.

Then, who knew who leaked the news, the Potions Professor who had just deducted points followed the clues and made a bet about himself.

Points will be deducted from all the young wizards involved, and the packages will be sent to their respective deans.

With the casual attention of the two professors, Luna's things will no longer disappear for no reason, and the verbal suppression will also disappear.

Hermione, under Artes' instruction, often went to chat with Luna.

Gradually, she discovered that this strange little witch was very smart and kind. She just liked to immerse herself in her own world and talk about unknown creatures.

Hermione didn't mind this strange thing, but she would try her best to argue with Luna about the existence of these strange creatures.

It was also the first time that Luna met someone who cared about these magical animals with her, although Hermione was focused on how to find evidence to convince her.

Over time, the two also became friends.

After learning that they had become friends, Artes told Snape about this one night.

In the darkness, Snape was silent for a long time.
