Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

The sun in winter will also stay in bed.

After eight o'clock in the morning, the morning light began to appear on the horizon.

Xifa, who was sitting cross-legged on a boulder by the stream, exhaled a puff of white smoke and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a forest with bare branches. Xifa raised his head and started to mentally plan the activities for this morning.

Last night, Elise and Luna heard that they were going hunting. They were so surprised that they bothered Xifa all night, and finally got Xifa to let go.

It was about time for them to arrive. Xifa jumped off the stone surface with all his strength. His cowhide boots stepped hard on the bare frozen soil. The strong vibration caused several small stones to collapse. They rolled and slid down the slope to the bottom.<

/p>

Ice has formed on both sides of the creek, and there is only a small channel in the middle where a trickle of water flows.

Just when Xifa watched the pebbles slide across the ice and fall into the water.

"Western France!"

A loud shout interrupted Xifa's little self-amusement.

"Daddy Buck!"

A friendly and familiar voice came from behind. Regardless of whether the pebble really fell into the water, Xifa immediately turned around and waved to say hello.

The boy has a handsome appearance, and even his simple clothes cannot hide his polite temperament. He has black hair and black eyes, and the exposed skin looks whiter against the background of dark and old-toned clothes.

I heard the boy say half a year ago that he was admitted to one of the top schools in the country. Judging from his performance these days, even if he hasn't seen him for many days, the boy still has the same original intention for the slum where he was raised.

The old hunter Buck squinted his eyes. It was not an illusion, but Xifa had grown a lot taller. He couldn't help feeling that time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, Xifa, who had been away from home for half a year, was back.

Raising his head and responding to Xifa's greeting, Old Buck weighed the hunting gear on his body, squeezed out a smile on his face, strode forward, and came to Xifa.

————————

Old Buck once lost his fertility during a hunting. He was a simple man and did not like to please others. Year-round hunting gave him a slightly murderous aura. Therefore, no woman in this small town was willing to marry him.

According to the 'brothers and sisters' who left the orphanage, Lady Mary was hurt by love when she was young, so she vowed never to marry and only adopted children to raise them.

Naturally, one woman cannot support the entire orphanage, so Old Buck from next door comes back from time to time to help enthusiastically.

Lady Mary and Old Buck have always maintained a strange tacit understanding. They are like husband and wife, but also like strangers. Perhaps this wonderful relationship is the most suitable distance for them.

Therefore, for every orphan who comes out of the orphanage, if there is no note of name left at birth, the boy's surname will be Buck, and the girl's surname will be Mary...

————————

When Buck came to her side, Xifa also noticed that Buck had become shorter, oh no, she had become taller... However, compared with Xifa, Buck was still a burly man! Visually, Buck might be taller than Dumbledore

The professor is even taller...

Xifa just said hello to Buck this morning. He wanted to go hunting. He did not explain to Buck that he would need to bring two 'oil bottles' with him for today's hunting.

"Woof -" "Woof -" Two hounds, one large and one small, rushed out of the bushes in the distance.

"Big Tom! Little Tom!"

Xifa leaned down, reached out and touched the two hounds rolling and coquettishly at his feet. Apparently, after not seeing each other for half a year, they not only did not forget him, but became closer to him.

After soothing him for a long time, the two dogs were still circling around him.

Xifa gave up and let them sway his trouser legs, and then swayed accordingly and said to Buck.

"Dad Buck, when I come back this time, my friends also came back with me for vacation, and they also want to go hunting with us."

"Them?" Old Buck was very surprised.

"Yes, my friend, they just have no hunting experience, and their physical fitness is much better than mine now!" Seeing that Old Buck was hesitant, Xifa said quickly.

"What's better than you?" Buck raised his eyebrows, stretched out his rough and strong hands and squeezed Xifa's forearm.

"It hurts, it hurts—" Xifa cried out.

"Going to school is so hard, and your body has become like this after half a year?" Buck couldn't help but blame him, but judging from his tone, he sounded more concerned than blamed.

"No, I saved a classmate's life and got a little injured. These six months are not suitable for strenuous exercise."

"It's not suitable for sports, but you still have to hunt!" Seeing Xifa's eyes dodge, Old Buck knew that he didn't want him to know the truth, and he didn't want to lie to himself, so he changed the topic.

"It's just fun anyway! We brought back a lot of food, and there's been no shortage of meat in the past few days."

In this case, Buck sighed, just pretend that he didn't get anything today.

If Xifa hadn't brought meat, the prey he hunted would have been the only source of meat for the orphanage group.

Seeing that Old Buck agreed, Xifa breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the equipment from Buck.

So, two people, one large and one small, took two dogs, one large and one small, to check the protective gear and weapons.

In fact, it is not a big problem whether to check or not, not to mention that Buck takes serious care of these equipment.

Just looking at this forest, there are very few large prey, just pheasants, wild birds, hares and the like. If there is a problem with the equipment, the worst result is that the prey will be let go. These things are very difficult to deal with large prey.<

/p>

......

"Western Fa~~"

There was nothing to be found, but when Xifa was squatting on the ground and was bored enough to watch Old Buck playing a bone-picking game with two Toms.

Elise's sunny and energetic shout floated in the distance. When Xifa heard the sound, she looked up and saw that it was really Elise and Luna coming together.

At this time, they no longer wore the same noble clothes as in London, but wore clothes left by their 'sister' in the orphanage.

Although they looked a little old, Mrs. Mary washed them cleanly and wore them on the two of them. The two of them also transformed from noble princesses into approachable girls next door.

"Are they your friends?" Buck was very satisfied when he saw that the steps of the two women were not frivolous, and asked Xifa casually.

"Yes!" Xifa answered without hesitation.

The two girls came to Xifa, who introduced Buck to them. They said hello to Buck, who nodded in response.

"Come on, bring these. Hunting here is different from hunting in school."

Xifa took advantage of Buck not paying attention and secretly gestured with her wand.

The two girls nodded and said they would carry it with them, and Elise even showed off her small satchel that had been transformed into a cloth bag.

After the inspection, they set off, with Buck leading the way, followed by the three of them, and their figures were gradually swallowed up by the forest.

Along the way, two hounds wandered around the two women. They were very curious about the new members. The key is that the smell on their bodies was very familiar.

"Muggle's bitch..."

The two hounds are obviously not as spiritual as the magical pets in the wizarding world, but this does not prevent them from being keen to please their master and his friends. In fact, they will never tire of it.

"Do they have names?" Luna suddenly asked.

"Yes, the big one is called Big Tom, and the small one is called Little Tom."

There was a rustling sound when the feet stepped on the fallen leaves, and in the quiet forest, there were still people in the quiet forest who heard the sound of dead branches breaking under their feet due to stepping on them.

"Xifa, I know why Tom is always against you?" After a long silence, Elise suddenly said.

"Riddle? What? I didn't take the initiative to provoke him." Xifa said innocently.

"No, you may have accidentally looked at our Riddle classmate the same way you looked at them..." Luna said in a faint voice from the side.
