[HP] Squib Prince

Bai Xian's appearance made Brian startled, and when he came to his senses, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't do this, don't do this."

This kind of action aroused the dissatisfaction of the old man in the portrait. He snorted coldly, and then said angrily: "What does it look like to be terrified at the house elf! Stand up straight!"

Brian stood up straight reflexively and looked at the old man. Before he had time to say anything, he saw Bai Xian, who was still calm just now, bent his body even lower, and his big long nose had already touched the ground.Bai Xian said in a humble tone: "It's all Bai Xian's dereliction of duty, please punish the master."

The old man stroked the crutch in his hand, looked at Bai Xian who was still bowing his head, and said indifferently: "It seems that you have not been trained for too long, Bai Xian. You must know that Brian is your current master."

This sentence made Bai Xian quite frightened, he quickly faced Brian, started to bump his head on the ground, and said while bumping, "It's all Bai Xian's fault, please forgive me, Master!"

Brian was taken aback by Bai Xian's performance, and was about to step forward to help Bai Xian up, but immediately remembered the old man's dissatisfaction just now.Bryan paused, stopped his movements, and said in a cold tone: "It's good to know your mistakes, get up."

The elf stopped self-mutilation after hearing Brian's order.

The old man glanced at Brian and showed approval: "Okay, let's invite in that Weasley who has been wandering around outside."

After a while, Weasley was led into the hall by an elf that Brian had never seen before.

"Wow," Mr. Weasley looked around the furnishings in the hall, and said with admiration, "You are really nice here." After finishing speaking, he also saw the old man looking down at him in the oil painting, Mr. Weasley slightly He bowed and said, "Hello, old Mr. Prince."

The old man didn't have a good look at Mr. Weasley, he just snorted: "Red-haired Weasley boy, are you the notary sent by the Ministry of Magic?"

"What you said is not wrong." Mr. Weasley changed his previous relaxed attitude towards Brian, and his expression became more official.

The old man said impatiently: "Then you can start now. I remember you just verify who the current owner is."

Mr. Weasley had obviously seen the old man, and he seemed to know the old man's character quite well.He quickly took out a brown paper document from the document bag, then smiled slightly at Brian, and said, "I can confirm that the state of the Prince Manor just changed from being closed to being inherited. As for the inheritor is Who, although the answer is obvious, but we still need to carry out certification according to the usual practice. So, Brian, please take a look at this document and provide us with a certificate. Because the certificate is different for each manor inheritance .I think the Prince family should have something like that."

Brian scanned the words on the kraft paper at a glance. It was nothing more than the inherited rights of some manor owners and the obligations to the Ministry of Magic. In fact, these things have not been carried out in the modern wizarding world for a long time. Given that the Ministry of Magic This document has not been changed much in a hundred years, and it is just a form now.

Brian lamented that the wizarding world is self-sufficient and unchanging. Sooner or later, they will completely lose their advantage when they stand in front of the Muggles they look down on.But he was quickly brought back to reality by the angry voice of the old man in the oil painting.

"Bai Xian, lead Mr. Weasley to the tapestry. There should be Brian's name there now."

Bai Xian bowed deeply to Brian before taking Mr. Weasley away.

"Now," the old man sat casually on the red velvet seat, playing with the crutches that had never left his hand, and then said, "We need to talk about family issues."

Brian walked up the steps slowly and stood directly opposite the oil painting.Because the oil painting was too large, Brian had to look up to see the old man's face.He nodded obediently, waiting for the old man's next words.

"First, let's make a formal introduction." After seeing Brian's expression, the old man's expression softened a little, "I am your grandfather, Duke Prince."

Brian called out in a low voice: "Hi, grandfather." Then he closed his mouth. He always felt weird and seemed very awkward.

The old man ignored Brian Bryan's embarrassed expression, and continued: "That's the end of the nonsense. You need to make up the history of the Prince family and all kinds of magic knowledge. Obviously, you have spent the first two years of your life The knowledge learned is completely forgotten. Humph, good children are ruined by Muggle education."

Brian twitched his lips, wondering whether he should be embarrassed that he was called a "kid" or angry that his education was despised.

"Your education will be in charge of the portraits of the Prince family in the future. Don't expect to be lazy. I'll let the boy from the Irene family supervise you." The old man stared at Brian and said seriously, "Is it important to study?" Before you finish, except for working at Hogwarts, you just stay at home and don’t accept any Slytherin invitations. As for the other three houses, especially Gryffindor, hmph, keep distance. Otherwise..."

Brian nodded obediently, then fell silent again.It seems that he can only passively accept the arrangement of the old man.He is a bit at a loss for the future. After accepting such an arrangement, does it mean that his responsibilities have become heavier? From now on, he will no longer be alone. The whereabouts of a declining family, and the distance between himself and the Muggle world will be getting farther and farther, but it is not necessarily possible to have any in-depth communication with Snape.Brian looked at the old man blankly.But the old man taunted him severely: "It's really useless, you won't say anything now?"

Brian lowered his head guiltily. He didn't know if the old man would be furious if he knew his unreasonable thoughts about Snape, and the master would be expelled less than a day after the family was inherited.

"Hmph..." The old man was about to say something, but he saw Weasley being led out by the elf with a smile on his face. He walked around with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "It's been confirmed, Brian Prynne Si officially became the owner of Prince Manor."

As he said that, Mr. Weasley shook the completed kraft paper in his hand, and said with a smile, "After about three working days, the copy of your inheritance certificate will be delivered to you."

Brian also smiled, but it seemed that the previous dazed state hadn't recovered much: "Thank you, Mr. Weasley."

Mr. Weasley was very unaccustomed to Brian's tone, so he hurriedly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's not a big deal."

"I remember that the fools in the Ministry of Magic have always been inefficient," the old man was very dissatisfied with Mr. Weasley's appearance, or in other words, no matter what Mr. Weasley did with this surname, the old man would not be satisfied." Although you are from Dumbledore's side, you are not a typical Ministry of Magic official, and this does not guarantee your efficiency. I hope you will not follow in the footsteps of those rubbish."

Mr. Weasley gave a good-natured salute, a little jerky, but nothing was wrong.After the salute, Mr. Weasley said: "We strictly follow the rules and we will not let you down."

Looking at Mr. Weasley's movements, Brian knew that he was about to leave, so he quickly nodded aside and interjected: "I believe in Mr. Weasley's ability to work. It's getting late now, I think I can send Mr. Weasley is out, on the way back to Hogwarts, I have teaching duties. Grandfather."

The old man glanced at Brian, nodded in understanding, then waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I know you don't want to stay here. I'll give you two days, the day after tomorrow at the latest, and come back to my class!"

After the old man finished speaking, he paused, as if hesitating for something.But soon, he said, "When the time comes, remember to bring the boy from Irene's family back, no matter what method you use."

Brian glanced at the old man's expression secretly, pursed his lips, and suppressed his smile.Although the old man's serious face looked the same as before, if you observe carefully, you can quickly find that the old man's facial muscles have become stiff, obviously he is nervous.From this point of view, although Snape's mother Irene was expelled from the family before, Snape and even Irene's status in the eyes of the old man has not declined at all, which makes Brian sincerely happy for Snape.

"But even if he doesn't like Snape, the owner of the house is me now, and a portrait will never win me over." Brian thought optimistically.He could even imagine the scene where he was holding a lot of precious potions and prescriptions and said to Snape, "It's all for you, use whatever you want".

"What are you smirking at?" The old man patted the frame with his hand and made a "dong dong", trying to remind Brian not to look so embarrassing.

Brian suppressed the expression on his face, bowed to the old man, and said goodbye: "Then I'll come back the day after tomorrow. See you the day after tomorrow."

The old man waved his hands impatiently in the oil painting, and muttered, "You impolite brat..."

Seeing the performance of the old man, Brian quickly led Mr. Weasley away from Prince Manor with a smile.
