HP: Embrace the Darkness

At the critical moment, the unicorn finally recovered from the confusion of seeing an acquaintance at the party, and quickly asked the little beasts in the tribe to find the leader Cynthia.

As soon as Cynthia arrived, she saw Snape, who was being pointed at by many arrows. His beast's face was suddenly blackened with anger. He dashed away the centaur leader's bow and arrow, and roared at him: "Magery! Aim your arrow. Our unicorn’s… friend!?”

Along with its roar, the unicorns stood in front of Snape one after another, and responded with reasoned attacks to the tense centaur.

Their current leader is young, and following the young leader, they have also learned a bit of the young beast's demeanor, for example - they are more powerful in scolding beasts, and they also protect their shortcomings.

Unfortunately, Snape was inside the short one.

The unicorns filled the Forbidden Forest with their accusations against the centaurs for going too far.

It was the first time that he was defended by so many... beasts. Snape pursed his lips in discomfort, slowly put away his wand, and softly stopped him: "Cynthia."

Cynthia's voice greeting the centaur leader's family stopped abruptly. It turned back to look at Snape, who had complicated eyes. Thinking of what he had just scolded, his eyes darkened for a while, and he tried to make amends in a hurry: "Actually, I'm not like this at ordinary times. It's all Magery. It’s too much.”

Snape said nothing, and Cynthia felt even more guilty and asked tentatively: "Severus, what I said... do you believe it?"

Snape met the unicorn's wide eyes of pure expectancy, and then swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Headmaster Snape, who was all-powerful and cold-blooded in the hearts of Hogwarts students, thought for a moment, ignored his aching conscience, nodded with difficulty, gritted his teeth and uttered one word: "Letter."

Hearing this, the centaur leader glanced at the two humans and the beast with a hint of inquiry.

Centaurs and unicorns have lived in the Forbidden Forest for generations, never looking up or down. They naturally know each other very well, but this is the first time he has seen a unicorn be so close to a human.

Not only does he favor humans, but he also puts aside his unicorn arrogance in front of humans.

What is so special about this human being?

The centaur leader looked at Snape carefully and then looked at the dark cloud-covered sky. Suddenly his face changed slightly, he raised his hand and waved it behind him.

The centaurs behind him understood, and all put down their bows and arrows, looking at Snape with curiosity and inquiry in their eyes.

Their leader is a stubborn centaur who actually takes back his words.

The centaur leader stared at the back of Snape's hand for a long time, with a faint light flashing in his eyes. For a moment, Snape felt as if he had been seen through. Before he could get angry, the centaur leader's expression softened.

"Human, tell me your purpose."

"There are foreign intruders in the Forbidden Forest, and their goal is..."

Since business was important, Snape did not pursue the offensive behavior of the centaur leader and quickly told the story briefly.

Finally, he pretended to mention Dumbledore's importance to Potter casually, implying that the Centaur could ask Dumbledore for payment.

Anyway, Dumbledore had a share in protecting Potter. He had already done what he was supposed to do, and Dumbledore should also give something.

You can't just leave everything to him, let him even pay you, right?

The centaur leader was thoughtful.

It wasn't that he was surprised that Dumbledore was still alive.

The centaurs have a good eye on the sky. On the first day when the news of Dumbledore's death came, he knew that Dumbledore was still alive. He hesitated now because Snape was special and didn't know whether it was good or bad to intervene rashly.

You must know that the water on this body is no shallower than that of the savior. If you are not careful, it will harm the clan.

The centaur leader remained silent, but Cynthia was unhappy and pushed him away, stamping her hooves confidently and holding her head high.

"Severus, what do you want from him? Come to me! We can help you."

The eyes of many unicorns lit up, and they followed their leader and held their heads high.

"No!" Snape objected.

Cynthia snorted and said aggrievedly: "Why not? Aren't we friends? Shouldn't friends help each other?"

Snape was speechless.

How should he explain the twists and turns of human society to a simple beast, and explain that this is not a matter of friends or not at all.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as if you agree! Don't worry, I'll take care of Margery's side."

Although the unicorn does not understand the twists and turns of human beings, it knows how to push the limits and arrange Snape clearly by talking to itself.

"Margery, Severus is our distinguished guest, friend and clan member. If you are willing to help him, we can send..."

Cynthia hesitated, not sure what it could bring out that would impress the centaur leader.

Snape frowned deeper, subconsciously trying to stop Cynthia from making her own decision, but the centaur leader beat him to it.

"Okay, Cynthia, you don't need to send it, someone will send it to you, that human. I agree to your request. Remember to let Dumbledore come to see me. He is running around all day long, and he doesn't even know to take a look at his old friend."

……

"Severus? Severus? What are you looking at? Why are you ignoring me?"

Cynthia's voice suddenly came, bringing Snape back to reality from his memories.

Thinking that something had happened to Cynthia, he frowned, turned slightly sideways, and quickly glanced outside while closing his black robe.

The rain stopped at some point, and the dark clouds parted, revealing a big, round moon. The bright moonlight dispersed the darkness of the Forbidden Forest, and complemented the light of the unicorn.

With the bright moonlight, Snape could clearly see the situation outside - the three parties headed by Professor McGonagall, Lucius, and Cynthia were still confronting each other.

It's not accurate to say confrontation.

To be precise, Lucius and others were surrounded in the middle and were looking for a way out.

Professor McGonagall and others blocked them, and the centaurs and unicorns approached step by step. The arrows exposed in the cold light were full of pressure and filled with murderous intent.

As for Cynthia…

Snape's mind was filled with its chirping, and he knew what it was doing even without watching it. After all, this was a real-time broadcast.

After listening patiently for a while, the real-time broadcast was not only unfocused, but also mixed with all kinds of private information. Principal Snape, who was always attentive in his work, frowned and couldn't hold it back. He reminded her loudly: "Cynthia, pay attention to your safety. Those werewolves will not fight with you." Be reasonable."

Cynthia's nonchalant voice rang in her mind: "It's okay, Magery is not a vegetarian. Although he is indeed a vegetarian, his strength has nothing to do with whether he is a vegetarian or not. We unicorns are also vegetarian, but our strength is absolutely Not vegetarian…”

With his head buzzing from the noise, Snape sighed, feeling tired.

He felt like a nanny, who not only had to wipe the butt of the blindly confident Potter, but also had to keep an eye on the arrogant Cynthia so that she wouldn't waste herself.

In the final analysis, all this is because of Dumbledore's orders. Snape gritted his teeth. One day, he would pack all these stupid goblins and send them to Dumbledore, so that he could also try to vent his anger without anger. The feeling of working hard without complaining.

Dumbledore in the distance suddenly trembled, covering the cold back of his neck, and turned around cautiously.

This feeling... Voldemort knew that he was not dead and wanted to kill him! ?
