HP: Embrace the Darkness

"Lucius really raised a good son."

Snape sneered, glancing past Draco and looking at Arthas.

"Oh, I almost forgot that you are his brother. Should I praise you for raising a good brother?"

"and many more!"

Asseth's inner alarm sounded instantly, and he decisively chose himself between his brother and himself.

"I haven't raised any, they were all raised by Lucius."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, absolutely."

Aces immediately promised, turning his head and glaring at Draco, who was in a daze, telling him to calm down before they were both kicked out together.

Seeing the look that Aces was looking at, Draco realized that he was a little too blatant and hurriedly looked away and looked around the room.

"What's so good here, why don't you go home." Platinum Peacock muttered in a low voice. He really couldn't understand that Asses would stay here every day even if he had a home.

Driving Draco's eyes away, Arthur's heart dropped when he saw him starting to look around the room.

He looked at Snape angrily, feeling guilty at the Potions Master's half-smiling gaze.

"Ahem, Draco is Draco, and I am me. You can't generalize, Sev."

As a lesson from heaven and earth, he had never felt shabby, nor did he think there was anything wrong with staying here.

As for the size of the house...

He could even sleep in ruins in a war zone, so how could he care about such trivial things.

Snape was unmoved and his voice was teasing.

"It's a pity that this is the brother you recognize personally. Why can't we generalize about him?"

Aces was ready to fight, maybe he should beat his brother and throw him out. Anyway, he had grown up and could find his way home.

In the end, Draco was still not invited out by his good brother, but he felt it was better to be invited out, at least this way he didn't have to face the two professors.

Aces crossed his arms and leaned half against the sofa.

"Tell me in detail, what Estella told you at the time, and how you convinced your mother."

Draco stood in front of the sofa, standing with his hands down. He quietly raised his eyes and saw Artes and Snape opposite him looking at him with two pairs of identical black eyes. It was so scary that he immediately answered honestly.

"It asked me why I didn't turn into a unicorn to accompany it. I told him that Animagus couldn't be a magical animal, but it categorically said that it could. And it told me the next day that it had asked Cynthia and said Others can’t, but I can.”

"Godmother...godmother, after I told my godmother, she asked me to come here directly and said that the rest...you...you will take care of it, I just need to come here."

"Cynthia said it's okay?" Artes looked at Snape, "Sev, how about we give it a try?"

"You can try it if you want, you don't need to ask me."

Although Snape said this, he looked thoughtfully into Draco's eyes and was obviously a little interested.

"Then try, but it's not convenient for Draco to live here, and running around every day will delay our timely observation..."

Asses said, staring straight at him.

While prolonging his tone tentatively, he observed the Potions Master's expression.

"What do you want?"

Seeing that Artes still had something to say, Snape handed him the words, folded his arms and waited for his next words, and made up his mind that if he offered to let him stay at Cavendish Manor, he would marry him. Throw this stupid Malfoy out together.

"I have...another, um...manor. There are house elves cleaning it all the time. How about we move there temporarily and live there for a while?"

"certainly--"

Hearing this beginning, Asseth looked happy, and the nervousness just now disappeared.

Is it just a manor that nervous?

Snape was a little curious and twisted his words of rejection.

"it is good."

Less than ten minutes after making the decision, the three of them appeared at the gate of Prince Manor.

Inside, Nina has packed everything.

"Master Artes! Professor Snape! Young Master Malfoy, you are here. Nina has packed it, and the clothes Madam sent have also been packed."

Nina took small steps of joy to greet the three of them.

The three of them followed her inside to take a look.

The inside was just as she said, clean and spotless.

Snape looked silently at this quaint, not big but solemn manor.

Prince, her mother's original surname.

Time has passed, and after so many years, he has almost forgotten that he still has a wizard mother.

Draco was overwhelmed by the joy of no longer living in Spider-End Lane and was excitedly visiting the manor. Snape walked slower and slower, gradually falling behind.

"Sev?"

When Asseth realized that he hadn't followed, he slowed down and took Snape's hand.

He didn't know if this was the right thing to do, but he always felt that Prince Manor should belong to Severus Snape, the youngest Potions Master.

So he took it back for him.

"Sev, Prince Manor..."

Artes was a little nervous, his palms were wet with cold sweat and slightly sticky. He wanted to let go and wipe it, but Snape held him tightly.

He froze for a moment and clasped together tentatively.

Not rejected.

Aces turned his head and looked over, staring at Snape's seemingly calm but complicated eyes. His interlocked fingers tightened and clasped the well-joined hand firmly in the palm, leaving no space.

"I got Prince Manor back from the goblin. There are many books about potions in it."

He paused, with a slight smile on his face.

"Well...even more than our family. After all, our family is not a potion family, so we can't compare to a potion family like Prince."

Seeing Snape's obviously moved eyes, Artes breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became a little serious.

"Sev, if you want to go further on the road of potions, maybe the books and portraits in the Prince Manor can provide you with some help."

"If you don't mind, you can use this manor as your own library. If you don't mind, you can use it however you want."

Snape's hands tightened subconsciously, and his eyes were fixed on Artes, "What do you know about me?"

"I know all the information that Raven can investigate. Irene Prince's incident was not a big deal back then, but there are traces of everything."

Aces didn't dare to go into too much detail, for fear of revealing that he knew everything. He was even more afraid that Snape would know that he had seen him in such a state of embarrassment.

Snape didn't speak. He lowered his head and didn't know what to think. However, he never let go of his hands, which stabilized Artes' heart that was about to beat out of his chest.

"Sev, are you angry?"
