HP: Embrace the Darkness

Joel forced himself not to delve into Artes' abnormality, but to talk about business.

"That's when I overstepped. Master Asseth, can you confirm the approximate time when the auction will be held?"

When will the auction be held?

Aces stroked the ring on his hand hesitantly.

"I'm not sure about the specific time. It will probably be around the end of June to the beginning of July. I'll let people prepare it first. I'll notify you when the time is almost up."

"Okay, Master."

Joel took out the small notebook he carried with him, wrote down what Ases said, and then carefully added the introduction to the secret just now.

"Then young master...the name of the auction item?"

"Simple, the key to eternal life."

"Ok."

The two started a detailed discussion, arranged various details, and made several plans for emergencies to prevent Voldemort from causing trouble.

After talking about this, Asseth dropped the second bomb of the day without hesitation.

"One more thing, please tell Grandpa Joel to tell Raven that from now on, Sif's importance to them will be at the same level as mine. Don't expose him at ordinary times. Protect him at all costs when necessary. This price includes me."

This was Assis's decision after careful consideration.

He needs to be busy with various wizarding and Muggle matters at the same time, and sometimes he will inevitably be away from the wizarding world. If Snape is in any trouble, he will not be able to find out and rush over at the first time.

But Joel and the Ravens are different. They are responsible for the wizard's side.

He is also a die-hard loyalist of Muller and Cavendish respectively. He signed a contract with him that cannot be betrayed, so there is no need to worry about their betrayal.

In addition, he took the time to teach them the improved Occlumency technique some time ago, so he didn't worry about leaking anything due to Legilimency.

This can be considered as a guarantee for Snape.

Joel's eyes were filled with confusion at first, then confusion and scrutiny. Who is Sif?

"Sev?"

"Severus Snape."

With the full name, Joel quickly found the information about Snape in his mind.

Whenever he comes to a place, the first thing he does is learn about the best in all aspects. He remembered that Severus Snape was an expert in potions, and was also the potions professor and headmaster of Slytherin at Hogwarts.

"Professor Snape of Hogwarts?" Joel asked to make sure he understood the same meaning as Artes.

"It's him."

Joel swallowed down his doubts and sense of disobedience, and carefully wrote down Ass's words in his notebook, "...Okay, I will tell the Ravens and the others."

After he finished writing, Asseth took out a few bottles of magic potion.

"This is my Polyjuice Potion."

Joel finally understood what the feeling of disobedience was.

He put down the book in his hand and looked directly at Asseth: "Master Asseth, you will give me the illusion that you are entrusting the funeral affairs."

Artes choked for a moment, his eyes were quite speechless, and he had no choice but to explain to Joel.

"Now we all know what is going on outside. A thermal weapon war is more dangerous than the war here."

"I have to pay attention to the situation over there. I really don't have enough energy, so I can only make second-hand preparations and return the polyjuice potion to me when things stabilize."

Joel nodded, took a few bottles of polyjuice potion, and couldn't help but refute Ass's words with disgust, "With that country here, how can the world be stable?"

"I think I know which country you are talking about." Artes also felt disgusted, "To be honest, that country is not as good as Voldemort."

Joel agreed, "That's true."

Asseth had almost finished talking about his visit. After sitting for a while and confirming that there were no omissions, he stood up and said goodbye to Joel and left.

The third game was in the evening, but when Asseth returned to Hogwarts, the campus already had a vague feeling that the game was about to start.

Young wizards wearing robes from their respective schools and campuses are gathering in the corridor, excitedly preparing to hold banners high for the promising warriors tonight.

Aces passed by and glanced a few times.

Maybe because there are two warriors in Hogwarts, those banners have more banners for Krum and Fleur, and a little less for Harry and Cedric.

But these can't affect the mood of the little wizards.

They all had cheerful smiles on their faces and chatted about tonight's game without any gloom on their faces.

"Professor Cavendish!" The little wizard who saw Asseth said hello.

Aces looked over in search of the voice with a smile. When he saw Cedric waving next to the little wizard, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

He remembered that tonight was the last day of Cedric's life, and he would die before Voldemort was resurrected.

Aces wanted to save his life and verify what Merlin had said, but Voldemort had to be resurrected and he couldn't destroy this.

After thinking about it for a thousand times, Asseth remembered the alchemy tool he had prepared for Lucius and Elise's mother before - a ring that could block the weaker Death Curse.

He stopped, nodded to the people he had just greeted, and quickly left the corridor.

"Why is Professor Cavendish so anxious all of a sudden?"

The little wizard who was the first to say hello asked his companions in confusion.

"Maybe he suddenly remembered something important. Oh, maybe your greeting just helped him clear up his previous doubts, so he hurried back to record it."

Another little wizard comforted him.

Cedric looked at the figure submerged in the darkness, and recalling the glance he had just cast, he always felt that Artes's hasty departure had something to do with him.

Back in the cellar, Asseth took out the alchemy medal that had been prepared for the teleportation scene, re-changed the magic pattern on it, and left something on it.

The Alchemy Medal, which integrates tracking, teleportation, protection, and temporary confusion, is newly released.

"The rest depends on your luck, Cedric. I hope you can survive until Voldemort is resurrected."

Ases put the four medals back into the box in order and muttered to himself.

As night fell, the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch lit up like never before, and all kinds of noisy sounds exploded there. For a while, it was impossible to tell the difference between the little wizard and the duck.

Aces was going to give away the alchemy medal, so he and Snape left separately and came to the contestants' tent alone.

There were four groups of people standing scattered in the tent.

Aces glanced past Cedric who was closest to the door.

Cedric brought his father, and the two were exchanging words with their heads down. The older man looked very excited.

Next to Harry were the Weasleys.

Fleur is his sister and mother, and Krum is a group of friends of the same age and Karkaroff.
