HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

In the second half of the banquet, Wenxiu Lord met little Barty who came with his father and Regulus who followed the Black couple.

Barty Crouch is famous throughout the wizarding world for his decisive and serious image.

Wenxiu Lord was not interested in chatting with him in official language, nor did he want to listen to his tone as if he was reporting on work.

After just a few perfunctory remarks, he turned the topic to little Batty.

In order not to arouse the interest and suspicion of Tom Riddle, Vinciu Lord often hinted in his words that the relationship between him and Barty Jr. was only superficial.

Little Batty was also very cooperative. He greeted politely and was as polite as possible.

This made Barty Crouch a little confused.

When I met my son at the train station before, he and Wenxiu Lord were very close, but now he seems like a familiar stranger.

But he soon convinced himself.

The other person already has a partner and is engaged, so it is reasonable for him to maintain a social distance from other people.

I felt even more satisfied with little Batty.

He knows when to advance and when to retreat, has excellent academic performance, and has no problems with etiquette. He will definitely live up to the Crouch name in the future.

Little Barty didn't know what Barty Crouch was thinking. If he knew, he would probably be disgusted and try to change his last name in the future.

Well... Lord is a good last name.

After a brief chat with the Crouch father and son, Wenxiu Lord only felt a force on his waist, and his upper body tilted and was forced to lean on Tom Riddle's arms.

He saw that men could be very petty when they became petty.

Especially the leaders of the dark wizards, one or two of them, their hearts are not as smart as a needle.

Before, there was, "What makes Albus Dumbledore like you so much."

Later, there is, "Was Wenxiu close to Barty Crouch Jr. when he was at Hogwarts?"

I swear to God, Wenxiu Lord just chatted with little Batty about his test scores!

"An acquaintance? I often see him in the library, and his father is the director of the Law Enforcement Department, so we became familiar with each other."

Regulus, who was silently watching Wenxiu Lord from a distance, was so jealous when he saw the intimate behavior of the two that his back teeth were about to break.

The dress he wore today didn't give him the chance to wrap the headband around his wrist. Now Regulus could only feel the wound on his wrist, which had healed long ago, starting to itch.

He picked up pieces of brown sugar and threw them into the teacup until the tea became visibly thick, then Regulus drank it in one gulp.

The tea clogged his throat, making him unable to speak, and also suppressed the sad tone that was about to come out.

The bittersweet liquid served as a stand-in for the light in his world, filling his soul.

Only such sweetness can alleviate his bitterness. The only drawback is that this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It only provides short-term relief, followed by double the bitterness.

Because he failed to take the pills that would actually relieve his addiction.

He is never satisfied.

Walburga Black, who had just finished socializing with the others, came over to him and frowned as he looked at the oversaturated, insoluble sugar residue at the bottom of the empty teacup in his hand.

She had discovered when Regulus was very young that he didn't like sweets.

When they had afternoon tea at home, Kreacher usually prepared some light snacks for him.

Unexpectedly, my youngest son's eating habits changed without me noticing.

"When did you become so addicted to sugar?" Walburga Black asked.

Regulus had a blank expression on his face as he continued to fill the next cup of tea with sugar cubes.

"No, mother, I don't like candy or anything sweet."

He likes sweet food. This is Wenxiu Lord’s eating habit.

"Then what are you..."

Regulus didn't want to explain why he did this. He glanced at the silver-haired boy who was the focus of everyone's attention in the banquet hall, and drank the tea in one gulp.

"It's time for mother to go to that adult."

"Oh, yes, yes." This was exactly why Walburga Black had come to see him.

She turned her head and saw several Death Eaters in the crowd walking towards the direction where Wenxiu Lord and the other man were.

Even though they were afraid of death and couldn't get close to him, how could the Death Eaters not send their blessings on such a happy event as their Lord's engagement?

If I can praise the Lord and Wenxiu Lord today, I can get a few more good jobs in the future.

Otherwise, they would have to go to the front lines every day to fight those people from the Order of the Phoenix. They could bear it mentally, but their bodies with unhealed wounds could not.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Black and other unappreciated Death Eaters gathered together and decided to go over and flatter Lord and Vince Lord when no one was around.

"Mother, I will go with you."

Walburga Black hesitated. It was fine if they were far away, but if they were close, would the child be able to bear seeing the intimacy between the two?

As if he saw her worry, Regulus raised the corner of his lips and said, "Wen Xiu and I are good friends. Wouldn't it be more suspicious if I don't go?"

What's more, this is his only and last chance to talk to Wen Xiu today.

Looking at his son's emotionless face, Walburga hesitated for a moment but still couldn't resist Regulus's suspicious words.

I am afraid that if I make a wrong step, my family will never prosper in the future.

Walburga Black gave Regulus some more instructions before taking him to Tom Riddle.

Since he had drawn up the invitation list himself, it was no surprise for Wenxiu Lord to meet Regulus.

The boy followed behind Mrs. Black, looking a little taciturn.

The moment Vince Lord's eyes rested on Regulus, Tom Riddle's eyes locked onto him at the same time.

After examining him from head to toe, Tom Riddle showed a somewhat intimate attitude towards Wenxiu Lord, "Wenxiu, is this the Regulus Black you recommended?"

"Yes, among the new generation of Death Eaters, I think he is the strongest."

As everyone watched, Regulus walked out of the crowd, came before the two men and saluted respectfully, "My Lord."

The joy of the silver-haired boy beside him was so real that Tom Riddle subconsciously disliked the person in front of him.

The language also becomes more picky.

"What is so outstanding about you that Wen Xiu praised you so much?"

The man's voice was low and slow, like a countdown before an execution, and the Blake couple broke out in cold sweats.

Knowing that he was sick again, Wenxiu Lord knew that he could not speak at this time.

Shaking the wine glass, the silver-haired boy pinched Tom Riddle's fingers and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Regulus's face showed admiration and worship, and his tone was very respectful.

"Regulus has admired the Lord for a long time, and before school started, he was determined to improve his own abilities and make his own contribution to fulfilling the Lord's plan."

The crowd fell silent as Regulus finished his words.

A few moments.

Tom Riddle's stern face softened. He held the hand of Vinciu Lord, who was playing with his fingers beside him. Their slender fingers were intertwined and interlocked.

"Good kids, everything is for the sake of restoring the glory of pure blood. I will lead you to the top of the world."

Hearing his words, the Death Eaters around him all breathed a sigh of relief, except for Vinciu Lord, who was speechless at the name he blurted out.

Compliments and blessings rang out again all around him. Wenxiu Lord suppressed the urge to complain and put on a happy face, pretending to be a love-minded person.
