[HP] How to be successful

"[HP] Why Chengshou"

First encounter

"Little master Signus, the master asked you to go to the main study."

In the silver and green study room, a five or six-year-old boy sat upright on a chair taller than him, holding a book in his hand. The boy had no expression on his face when it came to that deformed species that suddenly appeared. Changed color and nodded lightly.

"I see, go tell father, I will go right away."

"Yes, Lier knows, Lier will go and tell the master what the little master said right away." The abstract-looking creature lowered its head, its long nose almost touching the ground, with a panicked tone, and then bang A sound, just like when it came, suddenly disappeared.

The boy closed the book in his hand, put it directly on the table, jumped off the chair, straightened his clothes, and walked out slowly. The steps were as if measured with a ruler. Every step was so precise. More or less the same length.

When he came to the main study room, the boy knocked on the door. The gatehouse clicked and the lock was unlocked. The boy walked in and saluted the middle-aged man sitting inside, "Father, are you looking for Signer?" What's your order?"

Orion was very satisfied with Signus' words and deeds. This child is really a natural successor, and he has such a demeanor at the age of five.

"Signus, tomorrow is your five-year-old banquet, and it's time for you to appear as the heir of the Black family."

"Yes, father."

A child in the aristocratic circle has no childhood. From the time he was able to walk independently, someone taught him everything that a nobleman should learn. When he was five years old, he appeared in front of everyone as an heir. However, he was an heir rather than an Austrian. Ryan Black's child.

Signus restrained the disappointment in his eyes, didn't he already know?His father and his mother just raised him as an heir. As long as he is qualified to be the heir of the Black family and satisfy his parents, that's enough, don't think about anything else.

"Also, that lord will appear at your birthday party tomorrow, you have to be careful with your performance, you must satisfy that lord!"

Who is that adult?When his father and mother, who had the aristocratic pride and thought they were superior to others, spoke of that lord, the fervor and reverence in their voices was something he had never seen before, and it contained what he had always wanted but could never ask for, which was enough to attract him. Father mother mood swings feelings.

Suppressing the tightness in his heart, Signus replied calmly, "Yes, father."

"Okay, back off."

"Yes, father."

Signus quietly exited the room, until the moment the door was closed, his drooping eyes seemed to be unintentionally raised, and he looked at his father inside the door through the gap, with a hope that he himself did not want to admit in his eyes , but until the door was completely closed, Signus did not see his father give him even a single glance of attention.

Standing quietly at the door of the room, Signus had no expression on his face and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he turned around and left. Compared with the elegance of the nobility, Signus' straight back forced himself not to fall down. Stubbornness, I have enough in my life, I have no worries about food and clothing, my parents are there, I don’t need to run around for a living and I don’t need to envy others for having a family, other things, don’t be too greedy, my father and mother must be habitual to me It's just emotional repression, he believes, even if there is only a tiny bit, his relatives still have feelings for him, because blood dissolves in water, this will not change the fact.

I don't know if it's a sigh of comfort or self-deception, melting into the air, gradually dyed with layers of coolness, whose heart is cooling...

Black is one of the oldest families. Naturally, there will be many nobles attending the banquet where the heir appears in front of the public. However, in the hall full of nobles, it is strange that no one pays attention to the protagonist of the banquet. On him, he just stood reservedly, looking at the open door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

Signus, who was left out in the cold, looked at everyone with excited expressions mixed with expectations, which was very similar to the expressions on his parents' faces, but his parents seemed to be a little more crazy and obsessed than these people.

Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere changed, the air seemed to stop flowing, it was so cold and suffocating, before Signus could turn his head, he saw his parents quickly coming to the gate, facing the gate, he didn't know when The black-haired man who appeared prostrated himself on the ground, kissing the corner of the man's robe lightly, as if facing their gods devoutly.

"Welcome, MyLord!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around them reacted, and they knelt down together, looking at Lord with the same enthusiasm as Orion. Signus couldn't react to the situation in front of him. For these nobles, he I still understand that nobles are synonymous with pride. They all have persistence that is more important than life, and they don't bother to bow their heads to others. It's just that now, so many nobles are willing to bow down and bow to a man. It made Signus unable to understand for a while, and he forgot to kneel with everyone. Just when Signus almost became an abrupt member, there was an extra pull on the robe , causing Signus to stagger, and at the last moment he fell to his knees with everyone.

The man seemed to take everyone's kneeling and worshiping for granted. He just responded lightly and asked them to stand up. After that, everyone tacitly opened a path in the middle. The monarch of the country has an innate aura of kingship, and every step is like stepping on the rhythm of everyone's breathing, so heavy that they almost hold their breath.

He came directly to the main seat, sat down on the chair that had been vacant since the beginning of the banquet, propped one elbow on the armrest of the chair, propped up one side of his face, lazy but not less than half the lingering, eyes The light fell on Signus faintly, and it was only at this moment that Signus could see clearly that those eyes were dark blood red, and the thick blood light revealed cruel killing, like the eyes of a snake, tightly Staring at the prey, just with this faint gaze, Signus felt as if his throat was stuck by someone's hand, suffocating and burning in it, he could hardly breathe, his heartbeat became faster and faster, a sound The sound was like a beating drum, as if it was beating clearly in the ears. The younger generation was soaked in sweat, and the cold sweat on his forehead slowly fell down his cheeks. His legs were weakly stiff to support him, and he could almost see it from those eyes. He clearly saw his embarrassment and had nowhere to hide.

Just when Signus thought that he would crash to the ground in the next second, the man looked away from him, and his body suddenly relaxed, as if he had suddenly surfaced from the deep sea. The air pulled back the suffocating edge of his product, and the rumbling ear could only hear the man's low, intoxicating voice speaking to his father.

"Orien, you can bear my aura at such a young age. The heir to the Black family is good. What's his name?"

"Go back to Lord, his name is Cygnus Black, and he will serve Lord as the next heir of the Black family!" Obviously, the man's slightly satisfied words made Orion very happy, and even his voice trembled stand up.

"I'll brand him myself when he graduates from Hogwarts."

The man's words seemed to be some kind of gift, and Orion knelt down directly, thanking the man, "Thank you Lord for the gift, the Black family will always offer the deepest loyalty!"

Others followed Orion's words and offered their family's loyalty. The man seemed very satisfied with the situation in front of him. His pretty thin lips curved arrogantly, confident and arrogant, "I accept your loyalty, as long as you go all the way. Follow, I, Lord Voldemort, will bring you the glory of pure blood!"

The man's words aroused the fanatical worship in the blood of the nobles, and the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to zero in an instant, forgetting the protagonist of the banquet itself. At that time, as the forgotten protagonist, Signus had no other expressions, his exquisite face was a wooden color, if you look carefully, you can see that the eyes are dull, and the whole body is stiff, enough to be compared with stone statues. It's beautiful.

Signus is completely petrified.

Lucius Malfoy

The toasts were mixed with light and fire, and what kind of cold calculation of gains and losses was hidden under the glamorous appearance. Signus's face was outlined with a fifteen-degree arc, no more, no less, as precise as a measurement, light and shadow intertwined on his immature face On the table, there was a faint sarcasm beyond his age.

Although the protagonist of this banquet is him, the most important thing in a banquet among nobles is not the protagonist but the interests. Voldemort left soon, and he, after his father brought him to meet several nobles, did not have him What's the matter, after all, how can you say that he is only five years old, he is only the heir, not the patriarch, so what he gets most is to wait and see rather than win over, the word noble, no matter where it is, is the closest to the interests, no matter it is before him The world to live in is still, the world he has heard of that only exists in fantasy.

Yes, illusory, this world is really unreal to him now, at first he thought he just accidentally reincarnated too quickly, God forgot to brainwash him so that he retained the memory of his previous life and came to a place decades ago The world is backward and advanced!

It is said that it is backward only because the development here is too different from the previous high-tech level.
