"Oh! It's you? Are you the ...... That ......"

When Ron was the first to notice a round figure coming out of the courtyard, although he didn't immediately remember the other person's name, he immediately realized that the fat man had seen him at Hogwarts.

"Noah," the fat man happily greeted a few of his peers gathered here before nodding to Ron, "Noah Hohenheim...... Yes, I remember you, you're Harry Potter, aren't you? ”

"Nope! No, no...... Harry isn't redheaded! Ron hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm Ron Weiss—ah!" I remember, you are the son of the alchemist Alessandro! ”

When the fat man Noah heard this, he couldn't help but pouted a little awkwardly.

"You're right, that's my dad......" he shrugged, "but you know, I don't usually introduce myself to people like that—I'm me, and I don't have to bring my dad." ”

Noah's father is also a well-known contemporary figure, and the ancestor of his family is a generation of geniuses in the history of alchemy, and even the Muggle world has recorded it in historical documents.

As a descendant of a talented family, there are both advantages and disadvantages - the advantage is naturally that the family is rich and the life is not worried; As for the disadvantage, if you don't have any ability and talent, then the huge family reputation and huge resources will become a huge burden enough to crush a person several times.

In the past, Noah was actually a mediocre person who never saw the potential in their family's "old business". Even if his father never asked him to do anything, as long as he went out to meet people, he would still be compared to his father again and again.

To be honest, Noah didn't work hard.

As a child, he was far from being as fat as he is now, and once upon a time he was a child who regarded his father as his role model and goal.

It's a pity that when it comes to alchemy, talent is often the foundation. If you don't have a certain amount of talent, even getting started will be a huge problem.

However, now, it has been proved that Noah is still talented, and the talent is not small! It's just that at present, I'm afraid no one can figure out whether his talent is due to "alchemy" or his "good luck".

"Anyway, just call me Noah!"

After receiving part of Nicol Lemay's inheritance, the fat man probably hasn't fully recovered from it, so he still hates that people talk about his father when they talk about him.

But really, at least on the side of Maca and Fort Blois, the feeling of being compared to my father and my ancestors is obviously much less. After all, even if that great ancestor had come, it didn't seem like he would have been able to stand tall in front of Maca and his Uncle Blois.

This feeling that he didn't even have the need to make comparisons made Noah feel very relaxed.

Ron, on the other hand, who had become much more sensitive to other people's mood changes, apparently quickly realized that he might have said the wrong thing.

"Oh, sorry! Noah," he said, patting the other man's thick arm, "trust me, I can understand how you feel—even most of us here!" Because, who told us that we all have an old classmate named 'Marca McLean'? ”

"Hmm," the fat man couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "Hearing you say that, I immediately felt that you were much worse than me!" ”

"Hey, who's to say it isn't?" Ron smiled bitterly, and then waved his hand casually, "But it's actually okay, after all, you have to understand that once the gap is so big that you can't even imagine it, what jealousy, inferiority, loss, and pain are...... It doesn't matter at all! ”

When Ron said this, Neville on the side seemed to have other thoughts, and couldn't help but interrupt:

"Don't say that! Ron, there's no need to be jealous or anything, but you can't slack off where you should work, can't you? I know something - you don't have to learn and train yourself at all! ”

"Well, maybe!"

Ron didn't seem to want to talk about this at all, so he made a perfunctory remark, and pulled Noah to take a stroll around the courtyard with the other party.

Seriously, due to the constant cultivation and care of Willy at home these days, this once wide inner square has completely become a huge botanical garden, which is indeed very valuable for people to visit.

However, the reason why Ron suddenly pulled Noah, the fat man, was obviously not like quietly admiring the various magical plants.

Ron...... Oh, that's what I'll call you, I hope you won't mind. ”

Out of politeness, the fat man said this anyway, although he obviously didn't take it seriously.

"I was trying to ask, why were you in such a hurry to get me out of there? I haven't had time to say hello to anyone else! ”

"That's because of this," Ron said, gesturing at his mouth, "don't you see?" As we spoke, no one but Neville had ever spoken to us. In fact, everyone is not in a good mood at the moment. ”

When Noah heard this, he quickly touched his fat chin thoughtfully and nodded.

"Understandable," he said in a slightly lower voice, "this time you have been going head-to-head with the army of the dead of that guy in Helbo, and even people like me who don't care much about current affairs already know a lot, so you can see how big a problem this is!" And judging from past historical experience, a confrontation of this scale can be regarded as a real 'magic war'! ”

"Well, yes! It must be admitted that there are also factors in this regard, and they must not be said to be less. Ron looked at the hedge beside the shaded path, "But the worst thing is that something happened to a precious companion...... and even died on the battlefield. ”

"Oh...... Come on, you'll be fine! ”

As Noah listened, he couldn't help but put his fat arms around Ron's shoulders and leaned his flesh directly against him, as if trying to comfort the other party.

After noticing Ron's struggle, he hurriedly let go of the other party and said:

"I'm sorry...... Oh yes, who exactly happened? Did I see it when I was at Hogwarts? ”

"Well," Ron thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "You've been following Maca all along, and I think you've seen it - Luna Lovegood, do you remember?" ”

Hearing Ron report Luna's life, Noah was stunned.

Lovegood ...... Oh, it's Maca's little girlfriend, right? ”
