[HP] Squib Prince

For two full hours, this very young-looking ancestor spouted the history of the Prince family without even pausing to catch his breath, which made Brian a little drowsy, but Snape, Although his complexion was always bad, and he didn't even respond to the portrait, it could be seen that his eyes were full of seriousness.Snape even showed approval when he heard the young ancestor speak proudly of the Princes' worthy deeds.

The young ancestor looked at Snape with a serious face, then at Bryan who was still in a dizzy state, couldn't help but shook his head amusedly, and then announced: "That's it for today. I After discussing with Duke, I will tell you the history of the Prince family for two hours every night until I finish. At other times, your grandfather should make other arrangements for you, especially Brian."

Brian smiled sheepishly when he heard his name, then nodded to accept the arrangement.This made the young man in the portrait nod in satisfaction, and then said to Snape: "I look forward to discussing the latest progress in potion research with you. But now, I think you should go and meet the Prince family The former patriarch."

Snape nodded, bid farewell to the young man, and walked out of the study very naturally.Looking at Snape's appearance, Brian couldn't figure out what he was going to do, so he could only follow behind.He didn't see the young man showing a meaningful smile towards their backs.

As soon as the two of them left the study, Bai Xian was already waiting outside the study, it seemed that he must have been waiting for a long time.Seeing the two of them, Bai Xian bowed deeply, and Brian felt that his nose was about to touch the carpet.After bowing, Bai Xian said respectfully to Brian, "Master Duke asked me to take you and Master Severus to the room of honor."

After speaking, Bai Xian walked in front quietly.What surprised Brian was that this steady house-elf seemed to have eyes behind his back. No matter how fast or slow Brian walked, he could always keep a proper distance between himself and Brian until he led the two into the room. Entering an empty hall, Brian guessed that this is the so-called honor room.

This hall is indeed very empty, the white walls on both sides extend upwards, and then converge into a curved dome.Such a design makes people feel the solemnity unconsciously.On the snow-white walls without any stains, there are portraits of the previous Patriarchs. Next to each portrait are the main achievements of the Patriarch, and they will be matched with the honors that the Prince Family has won in this era.

These honors and portraits stretched all the way to the end of the wall, but there was a picture frame left there, which seemed to be reserved for myself.Thinking of this possibility, Brian could not help shrinking his neck, and quietly leaned closer to Snape.

The ancestors in the portrait saw Brian and both of them showed interest, and then whispered to each other.

"The tall one belongs to Irene's family, and the one next to it belongs to Auston's family?" A white-haired old man who looked a bit blessed asked the picture frame next to him.

In the frame next to it is a middle-aged man with a serious face, looking very gloomy.He let out a "hmm", just looked at the two with a straight face, and didn't speak.The white-haired old man was very dissatisfied with the neighbor's reaction, so he could only turn his head to look at the neighbor on the right.The one on his right happened to be the young man who taught Brian and the others before.

"I heard that you have already taught them. How are these two children? How talented?" The white-haired old man commented on the young man and asked immediately.

The young man was still as gentle as ever, he just smiled, then shook his head, and said sincerely: "You should be able to see it already. Severus, the child from the Irene family is very talented, and his personality is It may not have been well guided. And next to Brian, he is a very interesting kid."

The white-haired old man glanced at Brian suspiciously, and then laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Personality, that child's personality is normal in this family. How is it like the two of us..." As he spoke, the old man had a conscious He looked around anxiously, and tragically found that except for him and the young man on the right, everyone had basically the same expression—the lips were tightly pursed, the brows were furrowed, and a "chuan" was formed in the middle of the brows, as if they were facing each other. What expressing dissatisfaction does.These ancestors with similar expressions made the empty and white hall look even more terrifying.

"There will be a third one soon..." The young man looked at Brian, who was still shrinking his head, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

The white-haired old man obviously also saw Brian's little unconscious movements, and couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously, not everyone can take Brian's little action as an innocuous little thing.

"It seems that I need to make up for noble etiquette for you myself." Duke's voice came from his own golden picture frame.

Brian paused, then straightened up.It's just that he is not used to always holding it like this.

Seeing Brian's performance, Duke didn't get entangled in this topic. He cleared his throat, and then said: "I let you come here today, so that the patriarchs in the family can meet the two of you. It is also a welcome." Ceremony. Next, according to the usual practice, Duke Louis will have a few words with you."

After Duke finished speaking, he looked at a portrait respectfully.Following Duke's gaze, Brian saw a different portrait.The picture frame of the portrait is obviously larger than others, and unlike other people's delicately carved and gilded picture frames, the picture frame of this portrait is just simple wood, which looks very shiny.

In the portrait is an old man dressed in early medieval costumes, with deep eyes and a serious expression, looking very wise.The old man sighed, with endless regret in his tone: "It turns out that there are only two descendants left in the flourishing Prince family..."

Duke Louis looked far away, and then said: "Even in the darkest Middle Ages, the Prince family has never given up the opportunity to live with dignity. This kind of resilience has been passed down along with your blood and bones. So after this During the 1000 years of history, following the ups and downs of the historical tide is not an invincible thing for every prince. Until today, you are lucky to see such a family. So, even if there are only two people left, I believe that you can do your best like every Prince before you..."

Although it is only a few words, the vicissitudes and ups and downs in it are not difficult to hear.After these words, Duke Louis stopped talking, looking like he was lost in memory.

The two of Brian saluted at Duke's signal, and then quietly exited the room of honor.

"Duke Louis is the earliest ancestor of the Prince family. It is not easy to preserve his portrait." Duke stood in his usual photo frame again, looked at Brian and Snape and explained, "The future teaching In the meantime, he may teach you something special."

Brian nodded, but found that Snape, who was standing by the side, had been thinking about it since he heard what Duke Louis said, and then glanced at him from time to time with an indescribable feeling.

Duke also noticed Snape's strange behavior, he didn't say anything more, but ordered: "In this case, let's come here today, Severus is free to go back to Hogwarts or stay in the manor .As for Brian, starting tomorrow morning, your class will officially start, and Bai Xian will give you the schedule."

Brian nodded in acceptance, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Mr. Weasley's invitation.

"Uh, grandfather." Brian hesitated, but decided to tell Duke, "Mr. Weasley invited me to visit his studio on Sunday and have dinner at his house."

The old man in the portrait didn't change his expression when he heard Brian's words, as if he had expected it a long time ago, he just asked flatly, "What did I say before?"

Although he was mentally prepared, Brian was still a little uneasy when he saw the old man's plain black face that looked like a creditor.

"Whether it is the nobles of Slytherin or Gryffindor who are not in the same position, there is little communication."

"It seems that you still remember." The old man glanced at Brian, "In that case, you should know what my answer is."

Bryan paused. To be honest, he wasn't interested in visiting the Weasleys' house, but thinking of Mr. Weasley's mysteriously modified big guy made Brian feel a little uneasy.Since, as an insider, he felt that it was necessary to personally confirm the danger of that thing.

"Weasley asked you to help transform his pair of scrap metal?" Snape folded his arms, looked at Brian coldly, and asked with a dissatisfied expression.If he hadn't been very clear about Snape's attitude towards Gryffindor, Brian would have thought that Snape was actually a little bit jealous.

"Hey, it's just some Muggle equipment, it can't be called scrap metal." Brian quickly interrupted his wild thoughts, he found that he could look at Snape more and more, and think about something in his mind , this is very bad.Brian protested to Snape.

Snape let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity.

"Muggle equipment?" Duke's voice was dangerous. "So you've degenerated into mixing with those Weasley rebels?"

Brian looked at Duke helplessly, and then argued: "Uh, you have to know that I grew up in the Muggle world, at least you have to respect my upbringing. Besides, I know what I'm doing. Weasley Sir, as Dumbledore's confidants, I think it is necessary for us to maintain a friendly relationship, at least their purpose is the same as ours. In any case, it is impossible for the Prince family to be with the Death Eaters, and we are too Weak and weak, we can't let Dumbledore's faction also be hostile to us, that kind of situation is really dangerous."

Duke looked at Brian with a slight change in his eyes. For this child, he had to admit that his previous experience and performance made him biased.But since he can say such a thing, it doesn't look like a child without a sense of family responsibility.

"You should know that we can't follow Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix..."

Brian pushed his glasses and said, "Of course, but it's not impossible to cooperate. And I believe there are many neutral families like us. This is a group of new forces."

After finishing speaking, Brian glanced at Snape vaguely. He didn't know why someone like Snape would join the Order of the Phoenix, and he was still engaged in such a dangerous job. If Voldemort made a comeback, Snape's situation... Bryan Clenching his fist, he hoped that his current decision could help Snape a little.

"Hmph, seeking skin from a tiger." Snape was clearly dissatisfied with working with Dumbledore, he taunted.

Duke shook his head, stroked his chin, and said with interest: "I know Dumbledore. Although he is an old fox, he will never go back on what he promised. It's better than working with a lunatic like the Dark Lord." Strong. Moreover, our identities allow us to do a lot more than him..."

Snape saw that Duke was really thinking about such a possibility. Although he was not happy that the Prince family was involved in this, he also knew that because of the huge hatred with the Dark Lord, the Prince family could not stay out of the matter, so he agreed. No more talking.

"In that case, let Severus go with you to meet Mr. Weasley." Mr. Duke thought for a while before making a final decision.
