"...Oh! Is this really...muffin?"

I don't know what Lupine tasted from the waffles made by Luna, but I saw his wrinkled face and bulging cheeks, and his whole expression became strange.

"Yes! I made it the same way as making waffles."

"That……"

Lu Ping spoke more and more vaguely, and finally couldn't help spitting it out, and actually spit out a tender pink flower from his mouth.

"Then...what are these...bah...?"

As he spoke, he spat out the flowers like a poor Muggle magician. He didn't stop until he finished spitting out the sixth flower.

Then, he looked at the flowers he had spit out and said hesitantly:

"You put beans from bubble pods in muffins?"

This is a magical plant that is taught in the third-year Herbology class at Hogwarts. It is a fat pink pod, and there are some shiny beans hidden in the pod. When encountering external stimulation, the bubble pod will

Protect yourself by spraying beans.

Because the beans bloom when they touch something solid, wizards often use this interesting plant called "Bubble Pod" when they hold parties or want to decorate their gardens.

Of course, Luna is probably the first person who would think of putting beans from bubble pods in food!

"Oh, isn't that interesting?"

She didn't feel anything wrong with this at all. When she saw Lupine spitting flowers out, she even clapped her hands excitedly.

"Oh, okay! Maybe you're right."

Lupine seemed to be infected by Luna's innocent and cute appearance. He suddenly picked up another muffin and stuffed it into his mouth, and then spit out the small beans wrapped in the pancake.

She saw that those beans were still flying in the air, but they had broken one by one and turned into many flowers falling to the ground. Upon seeing this, Luna immediately joined this wonderful little game of eating waffles and spitting out flowers.

Before long, the floor in the Ministry of Magic hall was covered with pink flowers.

"Um?"

When two "childish children", Lupine and Luna, one older and one younger, were having fun, a voice suddenly sounded from the door, causing both of them to turn their heads to look.

"Maka! Come on, I've made a lot of snacks for you, come and try them."

"Oh, sorry Luna, I'm not hungry right now."

Looking at the pink flowers all over the hall, if it were normal times, Maka would have to complain at least once or two to be satisfied. But today, he really wasn't in that mood.

He waved his hand gently, causing a gust of wind to blow the scattered flowers apart slightly, and then walked straight from the middle to Lupin, who was bulging his cheeks and chewing waffles.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Maka's expression and behavior were somewhat unusual, the worry in Lupine's heart that had just been suppressed by Luna's brisk energy suddenly surged into his chest again.

The things that will make Maka, who has always been calm and unhurried, as if she can bury her thoughts forever in her heart, reveal her strange emotions, are definitely big things that will make people's hearts beat when told!

"Um……"

Perhaps because she was aware of Luna's presence, Maka didn't want to make her feel uneasy, so she kind of smiled.

"It's nothing. It's just that Professor Trelawney made some messy predictions again... You know, her predictions are always unreliable. She keeps saying that people will encounter bad luck or even die unexpectedly..."

While saying this, he slipped a piece of paper into Lupine's hand.

"Is this a letter from Professor Trelawney? Is everyone okay?"

After hearing that Maka said it was a letter from the Change, Luna was immediately curious and came over, but was stopped by Maka with her hand.

"It's a letter from Professor Sprout, saying that they went to many places..." He gently pushed Luna's back and walked towards the meal basket the other party brought, "If you want to know

, I’ll just tell you! For example, there are huge ice floes everywhere, and you can see the white Arctic Ocean as far as the eye can see.”

The conversation had just begun, when Luna saw Maka casually put her hand into the food basket, she couldn't help but wonder:

"Maka, didn't you just say you weren't hungry?"

"Well?"

He paused for a moment, then picked up a piece of dessert that looked like a cookie, smiled and said:

"It's rare that you made so many snacks. You should try them even if you're not hungry!"

As he was speaking, he threw the biscuit into his mouth and chewed it twice. Then, his expression immediately changed slightly, and he twisted his mouth and said with a puzzled expression:

"What's this?"

"Absorbent vine cookies!" Luna said, "Don't we always feel our mouths are very dry when eating cookies? I thought it was fun, so I added powdered vine to make it taste drier!

"

"My lord, Merlin, you are really a genius at making desserts."

Maka shook her head, wagging her fingers and pouring water into her mouth, while looking back at Lupine and taking a sneak peek. When she saw that his face was already ashen, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Today, because of the Federation incident, their moods were already heavy enough. Now that they saw Trelawney's prophecy, they were naturally even more depressed.

It was a pity that he still had to hand over the note from Sprout to Lupine for review, because there were really not many people who could discuss such a big matter with him.

Of course, it is obviously not a good time to talk to Lu Ping now.

"Luna," Maka turned around and picked up another piece of the so-called water vine cookie, "Speaking of which... have you ever tasted this thing yourself?"

"No?"

When Luna heard this, she immediately said innocently:

"The bubble pod muffin just now was okay, but this one is too dry and not delicious."

After Maka heard this, her face turned dark.

"If it doesn't taste good, why do you do so much?"

"It's not delicious, but is it fun?" Luna said happily, "It's fun to see other people eating with their mouths shrinking, like a toothless grandpa and grandma!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Maka nodded subtly, and then quickly stuffed the cookie in her hand into Luna's mouth. Seeing Luna shrinking her mouth immediately, whining and spinning around in circles, she couldn't help but laugh.

.

"Well, I see," he nodded again, "it's really interesting to see it this way."

It wasn't until she saw Luna covering her mouth and running out of the hall, probably looking for water somewhere, that Maka slowly put away the smile on her face and raised her hand to smooth her hair back.

.

"call"

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around quickly, and met Lu Ping's eyes. Immediately, both of them saw the solemnity in their respective expressions.

"How was it?" Maka said slowly, "After reading it, do you have any thoughts?"
