Chapter 135: Yule ball(2)

Nick didn't go overboard and secretly ate a bit of lembas bread to lower the amount of food he needed to take in without totally ruining his appetite. For the little of his hunger that remained Nick merely snacked on something that looked like mini sausages but was covered in a thin sweet glaze. Once satisfied with his food Nick found a chair and sat off to the side of the ballroom floor calmly watching the new people arriving. Malfoy , Nott , Crabbe , Goyle and even Greengrass all amongst those arriving via floo for this party.-

Daphne's eyes lit up when she found Nick sitting off to the side of the ballroom openly observing everyone else. She leaned over to her parents who were looking for a place to be seated themselves. "My friend is sitting over there perhaps we should join him?" she said while pointing Nick out to them. Both of her parents looked amused at the request and sized Nick up and both raised an eyebrow at what they found. As well established political figures the Greengrass couple were adept at reading people based on their posture , expression and movements and so they were surprised to find that Nick was nearly unreadable.-

His body was unnaturally still as if every muscle was under his control while he seemed to radiate an aura that demanded respect. It was subtle but they even noticed how his eyes seemed to hold a sort of detachment to his surroundings despite watching them cautiously. They almost didn't notice that his right hand never strayed far from his wand as though he expected to be attacked at any given moment. Yet despite all of this his posture and movements were relaxed and casual while he had a pleasant approachable expression on his face.-

They thought about it for a moment and could only agree that if he didn't settle for the "good enough" status that most settle for after leaving Hogwarts politics were indeed only a matter of time. Nick chatted with the Greengrass family casually for the rest of the party minus a few interruptions via the other people coming to curry favor with Nick. Daphne had offered to take him dancing but Nick declined on grounds that he both didn't know how as well as being unwilling to do so.
