[HP] Squib Prince

Brian came earlier at this time, and there were not many people in the banquet hall of Malfoy Manor.Brian followed the house elf directly into the lounge on the side of the hall.He found a relatively secluded position where he could see the audience and sat down. His movements looked casual and elegant, but no one knew that Brian's body was tense and his spirit was highly nervous.

"Please rest here for a while. If you need anything, Doc will serve you wholeheartedly." The house elf bowed deeply to Brian, and then exited the room respectfully.Very personable looking, the Malfoys are very strict with their house-elves.

Before Brian sat down for a while, two tall and strong men walked into the lounge.They were not brought in by house-elves.The two walked straight up to Brian, with warm smiles on their faces, seeming to be very familiar with the environment.

Brian looked up at the two of them. From their features and their reserved but enthusiastic smiles, Brian deduced that they were members of Malfoy's subordinate family, Goyle and Crabbe.

"I have known you for a long time, Mr. Prince." The slightly thinner man nodded slightly to Brian, and then offered his right hand, "I am Frank Goyle, you can call me Frank. It is an honor to meet you today you."

Brian politely extended his right hand to shake hands with Mr. Gower as he was trained at the Prince Manor, and said kindly: "Nice to meet you, Frank. The person next to him must be Mr. Matt Crabbe .Similarly, you can just call me by my first name."

This Mr. Crabbe looked more stocky and more silent than Mr. Gower.He nodded silently, then shook hands with Brian, and said in a low voice: "Your deeds have been widely circulated, so I want to meet you in person. I hope we don't take the liberty of disturbing your leisure time."

Brian froze for a moment, what Mr. Crabbe said sounded interesting.Did he mean that many Slytherin nobles were very interested in him?Brian blinked, but his expression didn't change. He joked, "Of course not. On the contrary, I'm really bored here by myself. You guys came just in time."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries in the lounge.The more he chatted with these two people, the more Brian was sure that they were arranged by Malfoy to accompany him.Through such small talk, Brian not only became less nervous, but also got some useful information from them.For example, what kind of families are the people invited today, which families have cooperative relations with the Malfoy family, which families stand on the standpoint of absolute neutrality, and which families have young ladies of the right age. Which of the aristocratic wives will bring their daughters here today... Brian was surprised by the ability of these aristocrats to gossip while chatting with them.Unexpectedly, these two seemingly very majestic elders knew these things clearly.I don't know if Snape, who looks fierce on the surface, also has a heart of gossip.Thinking of this, Brian was a little distracted.

"Brian?" Crabbe took out a delicate pocket watch from his dress robe to check the time, and then reminded, "It's almost time, I think we should go out."

Brian quickly came back to his senses, nodded, and entered the hall directly with Gore and Crabbe.

Sure enough, some people gathered in the hall in twos and threes at this time.Among them, the young girls gathered in a group, each of them was dressed up brilliantly, holding various fans in their hands, and covering their mouths with fans when talking or laughing, but their silver bell-like voices could not be heard Covered by the fan, it floated in the hall unsurprisingly, giving the entire Malfoy Manor a cheerful atmosphere.The men were either holding red wine or cigars, and gathered together to talk about something.The scene is lively but elegant, and it looks very harmonious.

While Brian and Crabbe chatted endlessly about some irrelevant topics, they secretly observed these small groups that gathered to talk.I have to say that if it weren't for the previous training camp, Brian really wouldn't be able to see anything famous.But looking at it carefully now, Brian can easily discover the extremely complicated network of relationships among the nobles, and there are even some twists and turns that are not humane.

Soon, the glorious Lucius walked briskly in front of Brian.He nodded to the two subordinates who had been by Brian's side all the time, and then said to Brian with a smile: "How does it feel to be the first banquet as the head of the Prince family?"

Brian nodded: "Very good, especially thank you for your thoughtful hospitality."

Lucius saw that his two subordinates had gone to other places to start socializing with interest, and then said with a relaxed expression: "It seems that Matt and the others are doing well. Well, now come and meet with me. Meet people who have long wanted to know you."

Brian took a glass of red wine casually, stood beside Lucius, nodded his thanks and said, "Oh, I heard from Severus, thank you for your introduction today."

Lucius waved his hand indifferently: "Don't be so polite, who told you to be a relative of Severus." The reason why he didn't say anything was that Brian was a person who could communicate, whether it was because of his personal ability, Lucius was quite satisfied with his wealth and background because of his personality.

Brian smiled and said nothing.It looked like it was in Snape's favor.He silently put away his mixed feelings of being a little proud of Snape's excellence and a little anxious that he had not grown enough, followed Lucius calmly, and walked towards the crowd.

The people who were still chatting softly together, seeing the host of the banquet leading a young man approaching, couldn't help but stop their movements and look at the two of them.It has to be said that Brian has been educated very successfully by surprise these days.His well-groomed, handsome appearance, even standing next to Lucius Malfoy, who was known for his beauty and elegance, was not inferior at all.Everyone noticed Brian, who looked very calm, and Lucius then led the people to a few people and began to introduce them.

When Lucius mentioned their surnames, Brian could already recall exactly which academy these families belonged to and what glorious history they had.Because of these, Brian quickly integrated into the small circle of these people.

Just like Snape asked Bai Xian to take the lead, Lucius took the initiative to introduce some small nobles who insisted on neutrality to Brian, and there were many families that had business dealings with Lucius.As for why these nobles did not withstand Voldemort's devastating blow, Brian could only guess that it was because the things owned by the Prince family were too attractive, or that what the Prince family owned happened to be in Voldemort's eyes.

By the time the banquet was halfway through, the people who came to the banquet had finished exchanging greetings, and everyone began to become more acquainted, so the couples in the ballroom spinning with the music made the atmosphere lively .

Brian looked at the group of women surrounding him with a bit of a headache.The smell of perfume on these little girls mixed together made him feel like sneezing.It's just that this action was so impolite, he had no choice but to resist the urge to sneeze and listen to these women chattering around him.

"Mr. Prince, I heard that you work at Hogwarts." A blond young woman fanned the fan in her hand slightly, with a dreamy memory in her eyes, and said softly, "I haven't been there for a long time. Hogwarts is over, it's such a nice place."

Brian kept a stiff smile and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's ancient but full of vitality. It's really a rare place where people can feel at ease."

"From what you mean, are you planning to stay at Hogwarts forever?" Another middle-aged woman with a shrewd face asked directly.

Brian was slightly unhappy in his heart. Judging from the woman's tone, it seemed that he looked down on this job.He still kept a warm smile on his face, and replied: "The future is hard to say. For now, I think I am very satisfied with this job. No matter what, the little wizard is the future of the magic world. I'm honored to contribute something to the future of the wizarding world."

The middle-aged woman was very dissatisfied with Brian's answer full of Dumbledore's brilliance, but Brian's words were high-sounding, and she obviously couldn't refute anything, so she could only shut up embarrassingly.However, Brian's remarks obviously won the approval of more women present.The expressions they looked at Brian became more eager, and these gazes made Brian almost run away.Before coming here, he never thought about dealing with these situations.

While smiling unconsciously, Brian began to search for acquaintances in the hall, hoping to find someone to help him get out.Don't count on the newest acquaintances, who are obviously helpless with their mothers, wives, and even daughters, and are happy to watch the show.At the most critical moment, Lucius disappeared, which made Brian very resentful.

Just as he was scanning the hall, he saw Snape in the distance near the door.Today's Snape also dressed up, and Brian could tell at a glance that the well-tailored black robe was different. He set off Snape's imposing manner very well, and at the same time he was unusually tall and straight.Just looking at each other across the crowd like this made Brian's heart start to throb uncontrollably.

It's just that Snape's face was a little gloomy at this time, he just glanced at Brian, then turned around and prepared to leave as if he didn't see him.

Seeing Snape's expression, Brian was a little baffled, but he quickly discovered the other party's intention to leave the scene, his heart moved, and he quickly apologized to the wives and ladies surrounded in front of him: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry. Just a moment." Saying that, he hurriedly walked towards Snape's direction.
