Chapter 619 The Monologue of Drunk and Sober

"Tuk tuk." &1t;/p>

On this quiet spring night, the three knocks on the door were soft as if they were afraid to scare anyone. Maca knew that most of the people outside the door were not the fat Hohenheim family, after all, that guy would not treat a door as gently as the one outside—he seemed to have guessed wrong just now. &1t;/p>

"Please come in."&1t;/p>

Just as he stood up, with a wave of his hand, the door of the office opened silently. &1t;/p>

The weather has indeed been getting better and better in recent days, but Hogwarts is located at a relatively high altitude, and it is still quite cold here at night. So today, he is still lighting the fireplace, and when the fire is flickering, he can't see clearly outside the door. &1t;/p>

When he looked over here, he could basically only see a vague silhouette, and it seemed that the other party was still hesitating slightly in the corridor outside. &1t;/p>

"What's the matter, aren't you coming in?"&1t;/p>

It is difficult to tell who is coming just by the fluctuation of magic power. Although everyone's fluctuation is different, it is still somewhat reluctant to remember its characteristics. Of course, for a squib like Filch, the level of magic power is quite low, so it is easier to distinguish. &1t;/p>

After Maca asked, there was about ten seconds of silence, and the other party finally seemed to have made a decision, and slowly walked into the office. When the light from the fire covered it with a soft orange, Maca finally saw who it was. &1t;/p>

"Senior sister?" He asked suspiciously, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"&1t;/p>

It was Charlotte, a rare guest that Maca never expected. &1t;/p>

Don't look at how easy this big beauty gets along with him,

Even on weekdays, he is a little careless, but he is quite conservative in some basic principles. It must be a little strange to rush to a boy's residence so late today. &1t;/p>

What's more worth mentioning is that she is still wearing a set of plain cotton pajamas, and her thick hair is tied loosely on her shoulders, making her look lazy. &1t;/p>

In front of the neck with one button missing, half of the slender neck was covered by the head, but it made the other half look more delicate and fair. &1t;/p>

Maka looked at her inexplicably and blinked her eyes, and suddenly found that her eyes were vaguely blurred, her cheeks were slightly flushed with warmth, and she didn't know that it was the fire in the fireplace that was causing trouble. &1t;/p>

"Hmm... Maca, your place is still so crowded, I think you should apply to Professor McGonagall for a bigger office." Charlotte walked lightly among the piles of books with her hands behind her back. , the words in his mouth were a little vague, "...Also, why do you still call me 'senior sister'? Let's not say anything that is invisible, the shelf life of this name has passed long ago, right?"&1t;/p>

"Oh, alright!" Maca still looked at her inexplicably, for a moment she was really not sure what she was thinking, "So...Charlotte, what's wrong with you?"&1t; /p>

"Me?"&1t;/p>

Charlotte, who had just walked around the desk, closed her eyes slightly, and her feet swayed unconsciously. When she opened her eyes again and looked at Maca, a layer of haze appeared in those eyes. look. &1t;/p>

"I came to see you?" She said faintly, "You know what? I can't sleep today... I was lying on the bed just now, and I was thinking about one thing."&1t;/p>

Having said that, she missed Maca's eyes and turned to the window behind Maca. Through the window, one can clearly see a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, but it is not as round as it was a few days ago. &1t;/p>

Charlotte stared blankly at the bright moon, and continued to murmur: "I should thank you very much... If you hadn't taken me away from that dark home, I'm afraid I would have been used as a bargaining chip by the family. Sent to another family to marry a man I have never seen a few times. I should thank you..."&1t;/p>

"You don't need to be so concerned," Maca persuaded, "I just looked up by accident that time and saw you in that carriage... Even if I decided to help you escape, I still have some other ideas." purpose." &1t;/p>

What he said was really not evasion or humility. Although the decision to help Charlotte was basically based on the friendship between some friends, when it comes to the purpose, the detection of intelligence is the most important side. &1t;/p>

But after Charlotte heard it, she just shook her head slightly. &1t;/p>

"No matter what the reason is, you saved me from that abyss, it's a fact." She mumbled, "But the more I appreciate you in my heart, the more difficult it is for me to express my gratitude to you... Well, I don't know how to describe it... It's like, what I want to say to you is not just a "thank you", but something else... what is more important..."&1t;/p>

As she spoke, her voice became softer and her vision became more blurred with the moonlight. At the end, she suddenly lost her mind, and suddenly staggered around the desk, walking towards Maca with three steps. &1t;/p>

"Sister?"&1t;/p>

Maca subconsciously called her again, and seeing that her feet seemed to be a little soft, she quickly reached out to support her shoulders to prevent her from tripping over the books at her feet inadvertently. &1t;/p>

When the distance between the two was less than two feet, Maca's nose trembled slightly. He often relied on his sense of smell to judge the refining process of potions, and immediately smelled a slightly familiar smell-it was the fragrance of rum with a bit of chocolate flavor. &1t;/p>

"You drink—" he was halfway through the sentence, and finally seemed to recall some key point, "Ah! Is that the Easter egg?"&1t;/p>

At that time in the principal's office, when he met Mag, he suddenly realized that he hadn't prepared an Easter gift for her, so he had an idea and took out the easter egg that he had taken from the Three Broomsticks. Because he remembered very clearly that Professor McGonagall's alcohol capacity is actually good, and the other party drank several glasses at several banquets but was only a little tipsy. &1t;/p>

However, he did not expect that the easter egg unexpectedly fell into Charlotte's hands. &1t;/p>

"Oh... I said senior sister," Maca said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Come on, be careful and stand still... You are the signature waiter at the Pig's Head Bar now! How can you become this virtuous after just a few sips?"&1t ;/p>

While talking and laughing, he casually opened the window beside him, and the cool air outside immediately poured into the room with the night wind. Countless flowers have already bloomed in the front garden in spring, and the fragrance is still constant at night, mixed in the cool air and diffused in the office. &1t;/p>

Charlotte, whose body was supported by Maca with both hands, sniffed lightly, a light and sweet fragrance lingered in the mouth and nose, with a bit of care unique to the night air. &1t;/p>

Are you drunk? Or not drunk at all? She herself can't tell the difference...&1t;/p>

"Maka, senior sister has a question to ask you..." &1t;/p>

Charlotte raised her head slightly, and was a little surprised to find that the little boy who had just entered school had grown taller than herself before she knew it. &1t;/p>

It was at this moment that the eyes of the two finally overlapped silently, one was clear and bright, the other was as deep as a thick mist. &1t;/p>

"...Do you think, senior sister, is she pretty?"—In fact, she wanted to ask this question out of her little drunkenness. &1t;/p>

Ever since she finished tasting the wine in the chocolate eggshell in her own room tonight, this lingering question in her heart has been circling between her lips and teeth. She walked out of the room step by step, and came to Maca's side unsteadily, didn't she just want to say this sentence? &1t;/p>

But when she opened her slightly dull mouth, and the words in her mouth were about to blurt out, she caught a glimpse of a photo frame in the corner of her eyes not too soon or too late. Behind the glass of the photo frame, a golden girl is facing away, looking up at the distant moon. &1t;/p>

The moonlight diffused quietly around her hair, and without a sound, a hazy pale golden halo was cast. &1t;/p>

This is the Luna standing under the starry sky that Maca saw on the hillside outside the house after dinner on the first night when Maca stayed at Lovegood's house. &1t;/p>

Even though the girl in the magic photo was always staring at the sky without turning her head back once, Charlotte could still tell who it was at a glance. Immediately, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her lips gradually pursed again. &1t;/p>

At this moment, she suddenly broke Maca's shoulder. &1t;/p>

"Crack!"&1t;/p>

A loud slap echoed in the silent room at night, and the originally slightly sweet air seemed to be swept away. &1t;/p>

"Ha, you've been fooled!" Charlotte straightened Maca's body, giggling and said, "Little guy, sister, my charm is not bad, right? Look at you, how dare you keep staring at sister, so narrow-minded I can't even pull out the beads!"&1t;/p>

While laughing, she patted Maca's shoulder twice more casually, then took a light step back, and stood aside again with her hands behind her back. &1t;/p>

"Don't think that being a professor is great! Sister, I am studying every day now, maybe we will be colleagues sometime!"&1t;/p>

After a short pause, Charlotte dropped the last sentence, and without giving Maca a chance to speak, she walked briskly around the stack of books as soon as she turned around. Just in the blink of an eye, with a soft click from the front, the door of the office closed. &1t;/p>

Maca stood by the window, feeling the numbness in his back like an illusion, burning his nerves hotly. After standing there in a daze for a while, he closed the window with his own hands, but quietly stared at the moon in the sky in a daze. &1t;/p>

"...Happy Easter, senior."&1t;/p>

In the dark corridor outside the office, Charlotte was leaning against the wall by the door in her pajamas, sighing silently. &1t;/p>
