"Oh! Is it you? You are that...that..."
When Ron was the first to notice a round figure walking out of the courtyard, although he couldn't remember the other person's name immediately, he immediately realized that he had seen this fat man in Hogwarts.
"Noah," the fat man happily greeted several peers gathered here, and then nodded to Ron, "Noah Hohenheim... yes, I remember you, you are Ha Leigh Porter, right?”
"No! No no... Harry doesn't have red hair!" Ron waved his hand quickly, "I'm Ron Weiss - ah! I remembered, you are the son of Alchemy Master Alejandro!"
When Fatty Noah heard this, he couldn't help but curled his lips awkwardly.
"You're right, that's my dad..." He shrugged, "But you have to know, I don't usually introduce myself to others like this - I am who I am, and I don't need to bring my dad with me."
Noah's father is also a well-known contemporary figure, and his ancestor is a generation of wizards in the history of alchemy. Even the Muggle world has recorded him in historical documents.
As a descendant of a family with many outstanding talents, there are both advantages and disadvantages - the advantage is naturally that the family has a rich family and a comfortable life; as for the disadvantage, if you have no ability or talent, then the huge family reputation and huge resources will be useless. It can become a huge burden that can crush a person several times.
In the past, Noah was actually a mediocre person who never saw potential in his family's "old profession". Even though his father never asked him to do anything, whenever he went out to meet people, he would still be compared with his father again and again.
To be honest, Noah didn't work hard.
When he was a child, he was far from as fat as he is now. Once upon a time, he was also a child who regarded his father as his role model and goal.
Unfortunately, in alchemy, talent is often the foundation. Without a certain amount of talent, even getting started will be a huge problem.
However, now, it turns out that Noah still has talent, and the talent is not small! But I'm afraid no one can figure it out yet whether his talent comes from "alchemy" or from his "good luck".
"Anyway, just call me Noah!"
After receiving part of Nico Flamel's inheritance, the fat man probably hasn't fully recovered yet, so he still hates when others talk about his father's situation.
But to be honest, at least here at Macca and Blois Castle, the feeling of being compared with your father and ancestors is obviously much smaller. After all, even if that great ancestor came, it seemed that he might not be able to stand out in front of Maka and his Uncle Blois.
This feeling that he didn't even need to compare made Noah feel very relaxed.
On the other hand, Ron, who had become much more sensitive to other people's mood changes, obviously quickly realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Noah," he patted the other person's thick arm and said, "Believe me, I can understand how you feel - even most of us here understand! Because, several of us have a person named Where are the old classmates of ‘Maka McClain’?”
"Well," the fat man couldn't help but twitching his lips when he heard this, "When I heard what you said, I immediately felt that you guys are much worse off than me!"
"Hey, who says it's not?" Ron smiled bitterly, and then waved his hand casually and said, "But it's actually not bad. After all, you have to understand that once the gap is so big that even you can't imagine it, Jealousy, inferiority, loss, pain... it doesn’t matter at all!”
When Ron said this, Neville seemed to have other ideas and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Don't say that! Ron, there is definitely no need for jealousy or anything like that, but you can't slack off where you should work hard, right? I know some things - the study and training you have done for yourself, But there is no need for others to be less!"
"Well, maybe!"
Ron didn't seem to want to talk about it at all, so he made a vague remark, then took Noah and planned to walk around the courtyard with him.
To be honest, due to Willy's continuous cultivation and care at home these days, this once wide internal square has completely turned into a huge botanical garden, which is indeed very valuable for people to visit.
However, the reason why Ron suddenly attracted the fat man Noah was obviously not like he was quietly admiring the various magical plants.
"Ron... Oh, that's what I called you. I hope you don't mind."
Out of politeness, the fat man still said this, although he obviously didn't take it seriously.
"I just want to ask, why were you in such a hurry to get me out of there? I haven't even had time to say hello to the others yet!"
"That's why," Ron pointed at his mouth and said, "Don't you see? When we were talking just now, no one came to talk to us except Neville. In fact, everyone is actually in a bad mood right now. None of it is good.”
After Noah heard this, he quickly touched his fat chin thoughtfully and nodded.
"It's understandable," he said in a slightly lowered voice, "This time you are going head-to-head with that guy Haierbo's army of the dead. Even people like me who don't care much about current affairs have learned a lot about it. It can be seen that this matter is troublesome. How big must it be! And judging from past historical experience, a confrontation of this scale can be regarded as a real 'magic war'!"
"Well, yes! I have to admit that there are some factors in this regard, and they are definitely not less." Ron looked at the hedges beside this green path and said as he walked, "But the worst thing is But nothing more than something happened to a precious companion... or even died on the battlefield."
"Oh... come on, it will get better!"
Noah listened and couldn't help but put his fat arms around Ron's shoulders and leaned directly against him, as if trying to comfort him.
After noticing Ron's struggle, he quickly let go and said:
"I'm sorry... Oh, by the way, who specifically had the accident? Did I see him when I was at Hogwarts?"
"Well," Ron thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "You were following Maka at that time. I think you must have met Luna Lovegood. Do you have any impressions?"
When Ron announced Luna's life, Noah was stunned.
"Lovegood... Oh, it's Maka's little girlfriend, right?"
