HP: Embrace the Darkness

When we walked out of the cabin, it was snowing heavily.

The white snow is a beautiful sight wherever it is placed, but no matter how white the snow is, it is not as white as Lucius's face.

Snape was walking in front, and when he turned around, he saw Lucius, whose face was as white as snow, and was stunned.

"Don't tell me you're still afraid of dead people."

Lucius clenched his wand tremblingly and glared at Snape angrily, "Is this a dead person's problem?"

Snape gave him a disapproving look.

Lucius was so angry that he kicked Xue next to him. He carefully lowered his voice and said vaguely, "I don't want to change my surname yet."

He spoke very vaguely, just in the range where Snape could understand it without leaving any clues.

Lucius is crazy too? He actually dared to mock the Dark Lord in public.

Snape held his wand in his hand, turned back cautiously, made sure that the two Death Eaters were staying in the cabin, and quickened his pace to leave.

Lucius, who was lagging behind, was puzzled and quickly followed, hearing Snape's low-pitched warning.

"Remain respectful of the master, Lucius. I believe you don't want to see your body lying in Malfoy Manor. Even if you are not worried about yourself, where is your wife? Don't forget Draco's situation."

Snape's words echoed in Lucius's mind, forcing him to break out in a cold sweat in the middle of winter, and the color on his face was almost gone.

Yes, how dare he express his dissatisfaction with Voldemort in such a close place.

Even if there are outsiders around.

Lucius looked back at the cabin fearfully, then turned back to thank him.

"West--"

The unfinished words stuck in his throat and turned into mutterings to hide his embarrassment.

"It's really weird. How come it's snowing so hard?"

The snow fell silently, and only Lucius was left on the snow. Naturally, no one answered his question.

At the same time, Arthur was led by Joel into the dungeon of Cavendish Manor.

Joel went to the dungeon frequently during this period. Just in case, he personally caught all the bats and installed lights in the passage leading to the dungeon so that he could see the path on his feet clearly.

After all, he is so old, it would be too embarrassing if he still falls into St. Mungo's.

Aces walked behind, glancing at the cufflinks in his hands from time to time. Even if he didn't speak or make any other movements, Joel could tell that his mind was not at all on the basilisk he was about to see.

Maybe this is young people.

Always addicted to love and unable to extricate himself.

Joel, who was already an elderly man, shook his head with emotion, and then quickly turned into a well-furnished room.

It's not accurate to call it a room. The space here is very large and all kinds of decorations are available. There are several three-person-thick pillars standing in the center. On one of the pillars is a snake with closed eyes.

This snake is Ella, the basilisk brought back by Artes from Hogwarts.

Because it was inconvenient to carry her with him, he had half of the dungeon opened up to make a palace for her to live in, leaving several entrances and exits.

"Ella."

Aces walked up to say hello.

The basilisk Ella has been eating and drinking well for a long time, and her temper has improved a lot. When they met, she shrank in size and jumped on Asseth, wrapping her tail around it, tilting her head and acting coquettishly.

[You haven’t seen me for a long time, and I’m angry. ]

Aces didn't see that she was angry, but he also apologized, "Sorry, I'm too busy recently."

Busy going to Spider End Alley for a date.

Of course, this cannot be said.

Ella thought for a while and felt that Ass's reason was very legitimate. She immediately stopped feeling angry. She happily wrapped her arms around Ass's and tried to rub her upper shoulders.

[It's okay, I'll help. ]

This is what you said.

Asseth touched Ella's head, picked her up the moment she relaxed, rolled her up several times, and hung it on her wrist as a decoration.

Ella didn't mind either, she even adjusted her body size and hugged Asses's wrist obediently, really treating herself as a bracelet.

'"Let's go, they should be coming."

Aces snapped his fingers, and all the lights in the palace were extinguished, leaving only one lamp to illuminate them.

Joel raised his eyebrows, "Master, it seems that Cavendish Manor may not need house elves anymore."

"Grandpa Joel, be careful. If Nina knew that you said you didn't need her, she would definitely cry. I can't coax her. You remember to be responsible until the end."

Joel, who was also unable to coax the house elf, shut up his troublemaking mouth without saying a word.

Asseth secretly curled his lips, not daring to let Joel find out, so he walked out of the dungeon faster.

Gavin was waiting at the entrance of the passage. When he saw Asseth, he rushed towards him excitedly.

In the past few days, Gavin had been digging here and there in the rainforest. His whole figure was like a muddy figure soaked in water. He could only vaguely see the outline, but he couldn't tell who the person under the soil was.

So from Asseth's perspective, there was a dirty black figure rushing over with its teeth and claws. There were even a few drops of muddy water on the ground, and the air seemed to be filled with the sour smell of mud and sweat.

So dirty!

Asseth did not hesitate to add a layer of solid iron armor spell to himself.

"Master, it's me."

This was said a little too late. Asseth had no time to withdraw the spell, and he didn't really want to withdraw the spell. He just watched silently as Gavin hit his head against the blue barrier and bounced back.

Considering that this was the loyal Gavin and that he had just completed his mission, Asseth covered his aching conscience, removed the iron armor spell, and stepped forward to show concern.

"Is everything okay?"

Gavin got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body. He found that he was covered in mud, and it seemed that even patting it would be of no use. He stopped again and walked away embarrassedly, far away from Asseth.

"Master, I'm fine."

But something happened to him.

He was almost dirty.

I have to meet Sif later!

Aces gritted his teeth and showed a gentle smile, "As long as it's okay, it seems that you have completed the task well. In this way, you can go back to take a shower, change clothes, eat something to sleep, and then come to me. I will now I have something to do and I have to leave the manor."

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

Gavin grinned, and his white teeth were in sharp contrast with his black and yellow face. Just looking at his appearance, you could tell that he was not having a good time these days.

Aces' conscience ached again, and he quietly removed a magic spell to isolate the smell, and then let the person go after saying a few words of concern.

Gavin walked away.

Aces let out a sigh of relief.

Joel walked out from the back passage and happened to see the whole process of Asseth from holding his breath to breathing. He couldn't help but look at the back of the honest Gavin who didn't know anything but was still happy.

"Forgive me, the smell is really weird, and I sprayed perfume on it. The two smells mixed together are terrible."

Joel nodded in understanding, then took out his handkerchief and covered his nose. He also smelled it, which was indeed a bit strange. This was after Gavin left. He couldn't imagine how hard it was for Artes to endure it without Gavin.

You must know that Ass is a master who has to take a shower after fighting and training.

It’s also difficult for the children.

Joel patted Ass on the shoulder to comfort him.
