To be honest, today is indeed a good day.
It's spring now, and the blue sky is mottled with clouds. The bright afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves in the forest, reflecting spots of light among the vibrant grass.
The air in the forest is completely fresh, with a rich earthy fragrance, which seems to tell the charm of nature.
And in this shadowy hilly forest, two figures, one large and one small, stood directly opposite each other. The older one looks very heavy, and the fat on his body stretches a set of finely crafted wizard robes like a wrapping cloth; while the younger one is wearing a Muggle dress, which is very cute for his young age.
However, the expressions on the faces of this pair seemed to be completely different from each other. The big fat man's face was stiff, his eyes were circling around, and he looked a little confused. He was not as calm and natural as the little girl opposite.
However, this is the fact.
"Sarah, please spare me my brother! Even though he is fat, he is actually very flexible. Look at my movements, it doesn't bother me at all!"
As the fat man spoke, he waved his hands and kicked his legs, and even jumped twice as expected. Even though the fat on his body was swelling up and down, it didn't seem to hinder his movement, and his movements were without any lag.
"No, that's not okay -" his sister Sarah said, "Whether it's in the way or not, being too fat is always bad. Dad has told Sarah that she must urge her brother to lose weight successfully. Sarah must listen to her father. That’s all.”
"Oh, no! There's really no need!" The fat man waved his hands repeatedly, "Sarah, let's go and talk to the old man later and ask him not to trouble you again. Do you think this is okay?"
After Sarah heard what he said, she pursed her lips and shook her head decisively.
"No, no, although it did start because of dad's instructions, Sarah also wants her brother to lose weight!" She tilted her head, looked at the fat man and said, "Besides, maybe after brother Noah loses weight, , you will become very, very handsome! Brother, don’t you want to become more handsome?”
When the fat man heard this, he shook his hair vigorously.
"Your brother is already handsome enough, isn't it?"
His words made the little girl tilt her head to the other side, and her face was filled with a puzzled expression of "I don't understand what you are talking about at all."
And just after the two looked at each other for a while, Sarah suddenly took something out of her pocket and threw it at the fat man's feet.
At this moment, the fat man jumped up as if his butt was burned by fire, and in the blink of an eye he started running as fast as he could behind him. Looking at his appearance, it seems that what he said before about being fat is indeed true.
In the next second, an explosion resounded throughout the mountain forest, and soon a wisp of green smoke hung on the top of the mountain.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
The fat man yelled and screamed as he ran, the soles of his feet seemed to be greased, and his two fat legs moved faster than he imagined.
"Oh - dear sister! You are really my biological sister!"
Seeing her fat brother disappear like a Muggle tank, Sarah stroked Xiu Xiu in her arms, but her face was filled with a happy smile. It was as if, as long as she saw her brother Noah running as hard as he could, her mood would become very happy.
"Skaven, let's wait for brother to run for a while, and then we can continue to catch up." She said softly, "It's great to see brother Noah running to his heart's content outside of home. "
When she said these words, her tone was extremely gentle.
"Why do you say that?"
While Sarah was still immersed in her own thoughts, a voice sounded extremely suddenly in the forest, and then a figure gradually appeared from two trees, as if from virtual to real.
The one who appeared here and now was, of course, Maka.
However, Maka's sudden appearance made Sarah's heart skip a beat. Although she still kept her smile, the corners of her raised mouth seemed a little stiff.
"Hello, Miss Hohenheim." Seeing that the little girl seemed to be hesitating secretly, Maka took the lead in saying hello, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Maka McClain... Well, I am your brother's new brother. Make friends!"
"You-" Sarah took a small step back without leaving any trace, and her left hand hung by her side and moved slightly, seemingly taking out something else and holding it in her hand, "Hello, Mr. McClain?"
"Don't be nervous," Maka spread her hands, indicating that she had no ill intentions, "Maybe my sudden appearance made you feel unsafe. Yes, I did find your item with detection magic, but that's Time is not absolutely reliable, so be careful in the future."
His suggestion made Sarah relax a little. After all, if they were really someone with evil intentions, they would have no reason to say such warnings.
Of course, in her eyes, this only made Maka's attitude more ambiguous.
"Mr. McLean, did you just eavesdrop on the conversation between me and Brother Noah?" Although Sarah used a question, her tone pointed directly to affirmation, "Sarah feels that this is not a good behavior."
"Oh, I think that's true," Macca nodded a little apologetically, and then continued, "But as I said just now, your brother and I have become good friends recently. Why did he run away? I You have to catch up and take a look, right? I overheard your conversation before, I can apologize first, but in that case, you should also explain it to me? "
After Sarah heard this, she just shook her head, and then took a step back again.
"Sarah has nothing to say. Sarah is going to find her brother..."
After she said that, she stepped back for the third time. This time, if she didn't stop, she seemed to be leaving the area directly. Maka saw that her left hand was gently raised with her steps, obviously she was about to throw out the thing in her palm at any time.
"Please stop following Sarah," she said one last time before retreating into the shadow of the tree trunks behind, "the youngest professor at Hogwarts—Mr. Maclean."
Maka then raised her eyebrows, and then realized that the little girl actually knew her. But all she knew was probably rumors and newspaper news. She obviously didn't know much about what kind of person Maka was.
But no matter what, the caution and agility that this little girl named Sarah possesses are still not what a child in her early ten years can possess.
Watching her gradually disappearing into the shadow of the trees, retreating again and again, and soon disappearing within the range of her perception, Maka couldn't help but become more and more interested.
There is no doubt that this is a little girl with extraordinary intelligence, that is absolutely correct.
He stood there and sighed secretly, then turned and walked towards the outer edge of the forest. He was not Slughorn, and he knew that frequent pressing would only make people more wary. For now, it was enough to come out and see the little girl again.
Soon, when he returned to the woods under the hill along the way he came, Fanny, who was standing there waiting quietly, immediately came over to him.
"Sir, what happened with the explosion just now?" Fanny asked immediately as soon as she saw him.
"It's a small matter," Maka said with a shrug, "It's just a brother and sister playing with each other in the woods... Well, maybe it should be said to be a 'unilateral' tossing? Anyway, it's nothing. Let's go back first!"
After a period of following and observing, he understood some of the situation.
The brother and sister had obviously had this kind of relationship from before. Although the quarrel was undoubtedly a bit big, in the final analysis, it would not cause any real harm. Maybe there was something inside, or maybe it was just the little girl's preference. In short, the fat young master of the Hohenheim family was definitely safe.
In this case, there is no need for Maka to interfere with other people's daily behavior of "increasing the relationship between brother and sister".
Fanny must be a little confused here, but she has always been an excellent family manager who knows when to ask and when not to ask. Maka didn't say anything, and she wouldn't insist on knowing everything. When Maka walked to the back door of the castle first, she followed quickly.
Soon, as the sun gradually moved westward and set, this very relaxing afternoon for Maka came to an end. When the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon with a large blush, the fat young man Noah and his sister Sarah finally walked out from the back hill of Beauxbatons Castle together.
When he came out, his robes had turned into a canvas of dust and charred ash. Looking at his miserable appearance, all the wizards who saw him coming back looked quite puzzled. In addition, there were a lot of explosions in the morning, and they thought there was another terrible chase!
After that, the dinner time of the day started simultaneously with the rising of the bright moon.
Both Maka and Fanny got enough rest in the remaining time of the afternoon, and now they came to the auditorium in spirit.
Today, there will be a dance for everyone to communicate with each other, which will be held after the sumptuous dinner.
"Madame Maxime, this...well, this is my sister Sarah..."
Before the dinner started, the fat man took his sister to say hello to Mrs. Maxim, which was a relatively formal introduction to his uninvited sister. However, just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Sarah.
"Madam, my name is Sarah von Hohenheim. Nice to meet you!" She politely saluted Madame Maxime. "I took the liberty to come to Beauxbatons today because I wanted to take a look first. This is a beautiful school, please Madam, please forgive Sarah for her rudeness.”
This little girl spoke clearly and logically, and more importantly, she looked cute and well-behaved, which made Madame Maxime very happy.
