Damian arrived at the party at 5th floor corridor. He got a message from Evelyn asking where even is he? Seems like the party has started, despite the trolls in Hogwarts. As he arrived at the party, Evelyn said," you're late ", Damian said," sorry, something came up on the way ". Evelyn is wearing a vampire outfit, it suited her good.
Evelyn said," what is that? Troll slaying? ", Damian asked," how do you know? ", Evelyn showed him the video, it seems some daring student wanted to take the video of trolls and yeah, he did it in a live broadcast while showing how Damian fought with trolls.
Damian wanted to punch this guy today, he coined the name," Demon Prince ", on him. Yes, that's his costume, but now in chat everyone is calling him the demon prince and troll slayer. Evelyn laughed and said," You really became a Demon Prince now. From now on, Damian will disappear and in his place, the Demon Prince will lead. Imagine the tag, ' Demon Prince abducts the poor Rose Princess ', isn't that amazing, want to give it a try. You can take me away, maybe lock me up in your room like in the fairy tales. Especially, when this attire suits you, I dread my future, the poor Rose Princess abducted and held hostage, while the demon prince forces himself on her. Isn't that an exciting story for this party ".
" You're mental Miss Rosier. I'm telling you, keep spinning stories like those, and one day someone will really do that. Also, what are you even saying? I'm but 11, that is one messed up story you got, seriously go see Madam Pomfrey to cure that fried up brain of yours ", Damian said with a blank stare.
Evelyn just smiled. She then put a hand around his shoulder and said to the crowd," ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome our dear special guest today. The troll slayer, Damian Knight, and also the demon prince of our party today ".
The crowd clapped welcoming Damian who gave another blank stare to Evelyn who has a grin on her face. The party is mostly a boring one, few discussions and meeting some people. Some tried recruiting him into their families, some offered him things for future co-operation.
Evelyn pushed them all away. Then there is a dance, with weird wizard halloween music and songs. Overall, the event is not bad, Damian returned to his dorm tired. Through Evelyn, he met some people who has the potion ingredients and illegal auction businesses. Maybe he can go there later to get few things he may require, Seems like the party isn't exclusive only to students of Hogwarts. There are some graduates too.
The next day, when Damian arrived at the great hall, all students around the great hall started whispering among themselves. Damian groaned as many he many stares, and apparently the forum is flooded with his title,' Demon Prince ', his costume and his acts earned him that nickname.
Cassandra said," happy for gaining some game aren't you? Demon Prince of Hogwarts. We have a troll farm, back in states, do you want me to recommend to my father about you. The infamous troll slayer will definitely make good money slaying those of his kind, there is no difference between you two afterall, both lacks brains ".
" Booo ".
Slytherins started booing while Damian said," at least I'm not someone who preaches supremacy on something stupid and then cower at the sight of a troll, then ran to the dungeons where monsters supposed to be to save themselves in the trapped cells. A fighter is always better than a coward who runs away afterall ".
The boo's stopped. Clearly, Damian called the Slytherin who arrived at their dorms are all cowards as a retort, and insulted their philosophy of surprmacy over mudbloods like him. Some of the Slytherins shut their mouths while Cassandra said," at least we have parents ".
Damian turned to her and said while suppressing her anger," good for you I guess or else I wouldn't know how you fools even survive a day, afterall how many of you know how to survive outside and earn money, you're all sticking to your parents like bloody parasites ".
Some slammed their hands on the table," Prosemptous, who does he think he is? "," just because you defeated Gemma in a duel doesn't mean you look down upon us ", " yeah, we can beat you down and show you your place "," if it wasn't for lady Evelyn's sake, I would have cursed you already ".
Damian said while casually eating the bread," says someone who hanged from the ceiling last time. Want me to remind you how many of you I defeated and tied you all to ceiling that day ", Damian felt the silence and felt relieved,' finally no bloody nonsense, I can eat in peace '.
Cassandra spoke just when he thought," you'll realise soon enough that you not only need magic, and strength but also backing, connections, wealth and a strong foundation in wizarding world Mr Knight, and when that happens, none of us will be there to extend our kindness ".
" Is that a threat Miss Vole? Backing? Wealth? Connections? Your influence may stretch from USA to Britain, but how many of you can say, your family's influence is all around the world? ", Damian said.
" Well, we may not, but we have connections too, we can do things through them ", Cassandra retorted. Damian spoke," oh really, then enlighten me, with all those conections, wealth, political power, backing, what did your transferred friends managed to do a few days ago, they did nothing but run away, sure you're important figures and held some power here, but you only held power here, there are many communities and places in this world without your influence. Many European countries like France, spain, portugal, and other countries around the world like Russia, africa, Japan and others, in those magical communities, how much will your connections, wealth, political power and backing amounts to ".
One question utterly silenced them all. Damian said," thought so. Everyone here is thinking, their family behind them can do anything, but know this, everything in this world is limited, even the influence of your houses. And you're shackled with that mindset, unlike me, who has no attachments to anything, I'm an orphan, no parents, no family, nothing. And that makes me free and also very dangerous, because in this world there is no one that I care, not even a thing remember that ".
" And that title demon prince, I don't know who gave me that title, but it suits me, because he is right, I am a demon, because in my eyes, there is no value to an enemy's life, I won't hesitate to strike down anyone, whether it's a child, men, women or even elderly. In my eyes, everything is same. I'm a demon in human skin. So better stick to your business than mine, because this demon isn't exactly a playful one, it's a psychopathic and sadistic one, who will enjoy tormenting his enemy to the end even at the cost of his own life ", Damian said. He then stopped up and left without even caring about the blank stares he received from Slytherins.
