Harry Potter: The Muggle Crown Prince at Hogwarts

Chapter 241 The Undercurrent at the Ball

At six o'clock in the evening, Knott Manor was brightly lit.

Allen's banquet clothes were as low-key as ever. He listened to Draco's advice this time and chose the style of dress from the wizarding world.

The straight collar slightly covered his fair neck, which was bound by the velvet collar.

A white deep V-shaped vest outlines his waistline, complements the black trousers on his lower body, and is covered by a long black wizard robe.

It was rare for him to comb his hair back and fix it. With his calm and calm demeanor, he almost fascinated all the ladies present.

Now, Allen is sitting upright in the center of the crowd, with a luxurious emerald brooch pinned to his chest.

Regardless of others, Harry was extremely happy.

He firmly believes that Allen is showing his closeness publicly.

When Allen came out of the locker room at Nott Manor, he almost jumped up in the corridor on the second floor with joy.

Holding a glass of champagne, Allen sat surrounded by the crowd, looking up at the high dome of the hall.

Surrounded by many arches, the semicircular dome lightly stretches to the sky, like believers surrounded by gods.

Those sea-blue eyes turned slightly, looking at the narrow window with a semi-circular top next to it, and then at the scattered cross-shaped holes beside the window.

Before five o'clock, all the lighting in Knott Manor was provided by these small windows.

Even when the sun is high, there is only a ray of light projected in by the Tyndall effect.

The whole castle is quiet and peaceful.

Like a church.

Or, like a grave.

But from one to five o'clock, when guests arrived at Nott Manor one after another, the castle seemed to wake up.

The lights came on and the champagne was refilled.

The fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples, named Vanity Fair.

He smiled softly, letting Harry hold one of his hands, and listening to Draco's whispered question sideways.

"Alan, why didn't Mr. Nott come down today? Although he always drinks, he always welcomes Slytherin parties to be held in the manor, and he comes down to say hello every year."

why?

Of course, it is the credit of the Oblivion Curse and the Sleeping Curse.

Allen smiled lightly and asked questions instead of answering, "You are only in the second grade this year, and last year's Slytherin party was held at Malfoy Manor.

"...Who did you hear about it?"

Draco pursed his lips, "I heard it from the seniors? Everyone looked worried when they heard that they were coming to Knott Manor. Of course I have to ask!"

Allen smiled, and looked at Theodore who was socializing over there,

"Since everyone is worried, isn't it just right if Mr. Nott doesn't show up?

"—Maybe he knows everyone's thoughts and just wants everyone to relax."

Theodore is the heir of the pure blood family after all.

He opened the scene lightly, raised his wine glass in the converging eyes, and with a perfect smile from the heart, he raised his voice,

"In this beautiful Christmas, I hope you all have a good time at Knott Manor!"

The little snakes applauded face-saving, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic for a while.

Theodore nodded shyly, and after the applause died down, he said, "As we all know, the opening dance of the ball is extremely important. But today, I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open the dance instead."

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded politely under the eyes of everyone, and stood up.

He bowed slightly, nodded and said, "It's an honor."

The sea blue eyes glanced over countless expecting ladies, and lightly landed on Astoria,

The blond crown prince smiled slightly, walked up to Miss Greengrass and stood at attention, bowed gracefully, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand in front of her, he said gently,

"Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to this dance?"

Astoria smiled gently and generously, raised her hand with white lace gloves, placed it gently in Allen's palm, stood up and said,

"my pleasure."

Perhaps because of Merlin's naughtiness, Astoria wore a layered green dress today.

That color happened to match Alan's emerald brooch somewhat.

The round bustle holds up the gorgeous skirt like a green rose in full bloom.

Under the eyes of everyone, Allen raised his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and walked into the dance hall with Astoria.

His left hand was stretched horizontally, protecting the girl's waist, while his right hand was stretched out in a gentlemanly manner, which was convenient for dancing and guarding, and also maintained a gentleman's style.

They danced a melodious waltz to the beat of the music.

Under the cover of the music, Allen heard Astoria's temptation,

"Your Highness...it is an honor for you to choose me, but..."

The girl kept to the beat, turned a corner with a smile, and asked,

"—Why did you choose me?"

Allen smiled gently, and his sea blue eyes almost had a depraved tolerance.

He asked lightly, "Is there a reason?"

The blond boy gracefully stepped to the beat of the dance and said with a smile,

"Perhaps there is a reason—you are beautiful, gentle, and well-born, and your height suits me so well. Besides, we've always had a good time talking, haven't we?"

Allen looked at the girl tenderly, as if he was really tempted by it.

In fact, he was caught off guard when Theodore asked him to dance the opening dance.

But the Crown Prince should be able to handle any contingencies.

By accepting this invitation, he can not only deepen Theodore's loyalty, but also take this opportunity to provoke the pure-blood family.

—like this Miss Greengrass.

According to common sense, the Greengrass family should be inherited by the eldest daughter Daphne, however, Astoria is obviously more relied on.

At this time, he doesn't lose out on whoever he chooses to be the heir.

If you choose Daphne, this family will come to an end by itself;

If you choose Astoria, you may have a powerful assistant...

And this young lady's status as the second daughter will obviously be the biggest obstacle on her way of succession. Then, until the heir is determined, the Greengrass family will not be at peace.

You know, apart from Malfoy, this is one of the few pure-blood families that still survives!

He wanted to see how far this family's infighting could go.

Astoria spun a circle lightly, and clenched Alan's right hand.

she thinks,

It is good to gain the trust of His Highness, but... she will also attract constant inquiries from the other three academies.

Humans cannot withstand inquiry.

She raised her eyes, smiled softly, and there seemed to be bits and pieces of expectation in her blue eyes, and asked,

"You say that... I can understand it as, do you like me?"

Allen paused, still stepping on the beat.

He looked at the girl in front of him and said boldly, "Your Highness, are you willing to be my lover?"

The blond boy smiled softly, raised his arms, guided the girl's dance steps, and said,

"Unfortunately, Astoria—His Majesty forbids me to fall in love early."
