HP: Embrace the Darkness

Severus looked a little tired after staring at the screen for too long. He rubbed his brows and exhaled: "I think there is more, but we can only see these contents. Don't forget that Cavendish seems to be able to influence people from a distance... I'm afraid we can't believe all the pictures we see."

"Don't be so pessimistic. I think Mr. Cavendish can be trusted." Sprout looked at the two worried colleagues gently, "Severus, I believe in your vision, no matter which you are."

Severus was dismissive of the witch's blind trust and sneered, "Don't be naive, Pomona, he is just a stranger."

As if sensing Severus's rejection, the screen flashed frequently, the colorful lights shattered and reorganized, and the picture jumped from Hogwarts to Cavendish Manor.

[Aces and Snape stood opposite each other, each with a different look. Aces raised his head, looked serious, and spoke each word with emphasis: "Because the professor is worthy." Snape was somewhat moved, but he quickly suppressed this emotion. The atmosphere gradually became stagnant. Aces thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask for compensation - "Call me Aces." Snape was angry at Aces's casualness, but Aces comforted him with a few words, and finally compromised: "I'm sorry about this, Aces."]

"Merlin's big nose! Severus actually apologized!" Flitwick slammed the table and screamed, "Why didn't I--"

"Crack!"

Severus broke his fork, successfully making Flitwick hold back the rest of his words.

Dumbledore picked up the teacup to cover half of his face, trying hard to suppress the urge to add fuel to the fire.

Mag turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and concentrated on memorizing this episode, preparing to revisit it when he was angry in the future. He was completely unaware of the undercurrents happening next door.

Sprout is a maverick. He thinks that Athis is his own person from the bottom of his heart. He completely agrees with Athis's approach and specially takes out a notebook to write down how to stroke Severus' fur. He intends to learn how to raise Severus well.

Caring for the Potions Master is everyone’s responsibility!

[In the Charms classroom, Professor Flitwick finished class and took Athis to Snape with a sad face to explain the dangers of a magic riot. He tactfully proposed that Athis live in the cellar. Snape agreed, and the two of them visited the alchemy box together...]

"Severus, you really trust Mr. Cavendish." Flitwick was not afraid of the punishment and still spoke boldly.

Severus was too lazy to pay attention to the overly emotional goblin professor, so he moved his chair to the side and expressed his dissatisfaction with his actions.

Flitwick didn't care. He pulled Sprout to mutter something and took out a notebook to write and draw. Severus glanced at his name and immediately had a bad feeling. "Filius, what are you writing?"

Flitwick showed him the notebook without any preparation, and Severus looked at the "Severus Breeding Manual" on it, and his eyes went dark.

Dumbledore covered his mouth with his hands, narrowed his eyes, and shrugged his shoulders madly, while unrecorded laughter escaped from between his fingers.

Breeding manual, hahahaha!

Severus pointed to the small words at the bottom of Flitwick's notebook with a fake smile and read out in a sarcastic tone: "How to help Albus regain his expired love after his old love is rekindled. Tsk, this giggling headmaster, I'm curious about how touching the love is that Filius can't forget it."

Dumbledore: ...No.
