HP: Embrace the Darkness

The two men, who were divided into two groups, met up.

Bella brought the werewolves, while Lucius brought speculations about the Forbidden Forest. The two groups could not even wait for dark before sneaking into Hogwarts.

In the principal's office, Snape, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the window.

As he walked, he waved his wand.

A film like running water clung to his eyes. When he reached the window, he slightly poked his head out and looked down at the road leading to the Forbidden Forest.

It is rainy in the UK. It rained heavily last night. The ground near the Forbidden Forest was muddy. There must be traces of walking. Snape searched patiently and finally saw messy footsteps under a tree.

"Dog? No! It's a wolf, a werewolf!"

Snape was stunned for a second, then turned and left.

The weather in England is still so gloomy. You can't see the sun in broad daylight. A large area of ​​darkness is far away in the sky, and the black clouds are pressing over it, like an army pressing down on the city. The whiter areas are also separated by a layer of foggy gauze. , the true color of the sky cannot be seen, and the air is filled with the special smell of imminent rain, which is humid and depressing.

Lucius, Bella and their group were walking quickly in the Forbidden Forest. The branches that seemed normal in the past were particularly arrogant in the rainy day. The leading werewolf had a bad temper, and every branch that touched him was thrown into confusion. He tore it to pieces with his claws and trampled it under his feet.

Lucius heard the sound, looked back, and immediately moved further away from the werewolf.

He has completely understood.

Among the Death Eaters headed by Voldemort, apart from him and Snape, there were only a few normal people.

It's better to keep a distance.

Like Lucius, the werewolf still waved his claws angrily, tearing apart the branches and leaves blocking the road, and then lay down and smelled the smell on the ground.

Bella waited impatiently. As soon as the werewolf raised his head, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"

"It rained just now, so the smell was covered up." The werewolf wrinkled his nose vigorously and shook his head with an ugly expression.

Bella's lips trembled, and the hand holding the wand nervously exerted force. From Lucius's point of view, she looked like a patient suppressing some kind of addiction, teetering on the edge of collapse. This was definitely something Lucius didn't want to see. of.

He didn't hesitate and pointed in a random direction.

"Since there is no smell here, let's continue walking inside. As long as they are in the Forbidden Forest, there must be traces. Three students, I don't believe they have the ability to handle their traces so well."

Bella calmed down strangely, pulled her withered grass-like hair, and took the lead to go deeper, and the werewolf naturally followed.

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and carefully kept a distance from the werewolf and Bella that could escape at any time, and followed him deeper.

The further they walked in, the denser the vegetation became. Several large trees that could not be grasped by anyone with open hands occupied both the sky and the ground, overwhelmingly showing their presence. The group was soon submerged in the endless vines and giant trees, deep in the sky. One foot is shallow and the other foot is groping forward.

Bella still refused to give up and ordered the werewolf to smell as he walked. Near a strange-shaped stone, the werewolf stopped and approached the ground again, walking back and forth, smelling the smell.

He smelled the stone all the way and suddenly stopped. His cold eyes flashed with excitement and bloodthirsty. He stretched out his tongue and licked the stone with a ferocious smile. "There is a very chaotic smell here. There is more than one person, and there seems to be a little..." Familiarity, I get it! It’s the savior of our tender skin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other werewolves let out excited howls one after another in anticipation of prey.

Bella folded her arms, pointed the wand between her fingers, and laughed maniacally. The shrill and crazy laughter was interspersed with the rustling wind and the excited howling of wolves, which was extremely harsh, but also carried a bit of murderous intent that matched the situation.

Lucius frowned and wanted to leave here. He always felt that he was either on the same path as these lunatics, or he was just unlucky enough to have a lunatic owner and was forced to be colleagues with these lunatics.

"Okay, it's time for us to complete the task assigned by the master. We must not fail this time, for the glory of the master!" Bella instructed the werewolf to follow the smell.

She didn't notice the uncontrollable ferocity and disgust in the eyes of the werewolf she commanded, and a pair of sharp claws that could tear a person alive loomed with a cold light.

Lucius noticed.

In order to ensure that the two lunatics would not accidentally injure him when they fought, he changed his position again and followed them neither far nor close.

The group set out again, this time with obvious murderous intent on their bodies.

Following the smell, the werewolf walked behind a tree that was larger than the other trees. From the other end of the tree there was a rustling sound and a suspicious voice.

Bella pushed the werewolf away impatiently, raised her wand, and walked out first.

Not to be outdone, the werewolf followed.

No one paid attention to Lucius who was fishing, and Lucius wished that no one paid attention to him, so he silently stayed at the back. After all the werewolves walked out, he walked behind the tree and stuck his head out to take a look at what was going on.

An iron chain as thick as an adult's arm hung down along the trunk of the tree, leaving mottled mud marks on the ground. The other end of the chain was connected to a huge figure sitting on the ground. The figure's back was turned to everyone, and his face could not be seen clearly, but Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he couldn't be the person they were looking for.

The disappointment after the expectation made Bella extremely angry.

She raised her wand and chanted the Cruciatus Curse fiercely. .

The red light successfully reached the giant. The giant, who had his back to everyone and didn't know what he was doing, paused, but did not let out the cry that Bella wanted to hear.

Lucius's heart sank.

Although Bella's strength is not as strong as Voldemort's, she is still one of the best among the Death Eaters.

If even Bella couldn't do anything against this giant, it would be difficult for them to find Potter's whereabouts from the giant today.

This result was definitely unacceptable to both him and Bella. Voldemort was getting more and more ruthless, and they had to take Potter back or go back with Potter's whereabouts.

In just a few seconds, Lucius analyzed the stakes clearly, and without caring about keeping a distance from Bella, he walked over in a few steps and stopped the death curse that Bella was about to throw out.

"Can't kill him."
