HP: Embrace the Darkness

Snape turned over in the dark, naturally ignoring the fact that he was not asleep at all, and taking the blame for Artes without any psychological burden.

"Well, you moved too much."

Artes had never thought that Snape would be so interested in blaming him so late at night. He believed his words and cleared his throat guiltily.

"I didn't mean it, and I won't do it next time."

He said it so seriously that Snape didn't know what to say.

Not hearing Snape's voice, Artes thought he was sleepy and didn't want to talk, so he turned over gently and looked at him through the darkness.

"Go to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore."

The guilty Potion Master immediately closed his eyes. He was not sleepy at first, but with his eyes closed, he actually fell asleep without realizing it.

Hearing the breathing around him calm down so quickly, Artes was even more certain that he had woken up the potion master just now, and he felt even more guilty.

"Good night, Sev."

He said this silently, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

-

Two days later, just as Asses saw in the prophecy, the XX bank collapsed, directly causing turmoil in all parties.

With Aces's tips and preparations, Cavendish would not suffer much loss. Muller's family fortune is all in Germany, and he would not suffer any losses.

It's just that this financial crisis reminded Asseth that he can't focus entirely on the wizarding world.

If Joel didn't notice the falling exchange rate this time, they might really suffer a big loss.

For details, please refer to the Grand Duke, who managed to avoid losing his pants.

But a person's energy is limited.

After traveling between the wizarding world and the Muggle world for a period of time, he found it difficult to take care of both. Artes had to write a letter to call back the happy Susanna who was staying at an old friend's house, asking her to share the alchemy class of the lower grades.

Susanna had let herself go in Germany for so long, and she was still a little unaccustomed to returning to Hogwarts.

Her unaccustomed feeling lasted less than a day before she was broken up by the task assigned to her by Asseth.

Alchemy Office.

"My dear nephew, can you give me less lessons?"

Looking at the full course schedule in Asseth's hand, Susanna felt like crying.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have coveted the handsome young man here. Who would have thought that Asses would let her take classes as soon as he came back.

"How about you help me keep an eye on the Muggle side? I have a friend who makes trouble there and causes trouble from time to time. If you are willing, I don't mind."

Aces slowly put down the course schedule that Susanna refused to take over.

"I'm no better than you foxes with eight hundred scheming minds. I can't play that game. If you let me go, I will lose all your wealth."

Susanna spread her hands, looking helpless.

"Then help me teach."

"Just go to class, I can't do it."

Compared with those messy and cunning things, Susanna still feels that class is more acceptable, at least it doesn't require using her brain.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're already so busy in alchemy class, wouldn't Professor Snape be even busier? What's your salary? Can I match your salary and ask for a raise?"

"salary?"

Aces' eyes were strange, as if Susanna had asked a strange question.

"What do you expect from the salary at Hogwarts? The salary Dumbledore gave me is not as good as the Gallondo I would get if I made an alchemy tool and sold it. That salary wouldn't even be enough to replace the clothes you are wearing now."

"So don't think about it. Your salary is given to you personally by me. It is more than the salary I received. Otherwise, how much do you think you can get."

Suzanne was silent.

She said why Asses could deduct her salary whenever he wanted. It turned out that it was actually given by him.

She thought it was because Ases was the school director and could manage the salary?

"Then why on earth did you come to Hogwarts? Isn't this stupid?" Susanna said sadly.

"I didn't come to Hogwarts for that salary. As for Sif...it's almost the same."

"That won't work. It's such a waste of time. If you have this time, you might as well refine a few more alchemy tools. Otherwise, how will you be able to support us..."

Under Asseth's sharp gaze, Susanna still changed her mind to us.

This time Asseth was silent.

"You... think I earn Galleons from alchemy items?"

Susanna was about to say yes when she suddenly remembered the auction house and major alchemy shops under Asses' name. These were only visible wealth.

Susanna, who had no wealth, was particularly hostile to the rich. She looked at the rich nephew with hatred in her eyes. Her voice changed and her tone unconsciously became flattering.

"Let's talk about the salary increase."

Leaving the matter to Susanna, Asseth had originally planned to give her a raise, so he didn't refuse now.

"Tell me, how much do you want to add?"

"Huh? Let me tell you? Isn't this not good?"

Susanna's eyes widened, her eyes full of embarrassment and cleverness.

Aces threatened with a smile: "You only have this one chance, if you miss it, it's gone."

Only one time! Susanna closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, and screamed loudly.

"Ten thousand gold galleons."

"Well, one thousand, right? I think that's fine."

what?

Susanna opened her eyes, looked at Asseth accusingly, and said tactfully: "Is a thousand too few? Even if I have no credit, I still have hard work. Can I add more?"

Aces pretended to think about it, "Five thousand, no more. My mother asked me to watch you and not let you waste galleons, especially on men."

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Cousin, it seems that you have done a lot of ridiculous things before. Spend gold and galleons on men? Where is my cousin?"

"I was still young then! Not anymore!" Susanna was furious. "Oh, why didn't Anna remember my good things? She only remembered my scandals."

Now she just wants to go back to the past and give herself a slap in the face for spending so much money.

Let you go up to the top, now it's better. Not only have you been poor for so many years, but you also have to be talked about all the time.

"Okay? Is that blowing up someone else's house, or fighting?"

Aces was a little curious.

It seemed that the things he heard Susanna do from Anna and Joel were quite outrageous.

"I have saved people, doesn't this count?"

Susanna thought for a long time and finally found something not so outrageous from the corner of her mind.

"The little wizard foolishly ran into the depths of the swamp alone. If I hadn't happened to be traveling somewhere and saved him, he would have died long ago."

"By the way, the place where the medicinal herbs I gave you before grows is in the forest behind the swamp."

Suzanne added.
