In Europe, dancing is usually the most influential activity in social gatherings. In order to make friends with others and expand their social circle, such gatherings have always been quite popular.
But today, booth Barton's ball seems to have some atmosphere.
First, some male guests were busy with their own affairs, so that the witches specially invited were ignored accordingly. Then the master of the tefuller family suddenly broke into the dance and made a bad switch.
After that, it can only be said that it was finally - finally, there were no twists and turns again, and the first dance came to an end safely.
As the melody faded, Makato took Fanny's hand and sent her back to her seat. He did enough etiquette.
"For the next dance, I'd better invite today's hostess!" Marcello said reluctantly. "As far as the current situation is concerned, I'm afraid no one wants to invite Mrs. maxim to dance. If you're willing to relax again, I think you can choose one from the men who want to invite you."
"I don't think anyone will invite me today," Fanny gently shook her head. "Most of the wizards who came to busbarton this time came with a clear purpose... There are few who come purely to enjoy dancing."
"Oh, I think you underestimated your charm," Marca shrugged and smiled. "You can decide this later! Well... I'm rude first."
"Make yourself at home, Mr. McLean." Fanny leaned slightly in her chair and saluted him.
Since you have attended other people's dances, you need to abide by the rules of the dance. It is common to dance the first song with your female companions. But after the song, the male guests need to change their partners. Although this is not necessary, inviting the hostess to dance can show her respect and gratitude to the organizer.
Of course, sometimes the first guest invited to the hostess can also highlight their status and importance, but I'm afraid not many people think so today.
While Maka and Fanny were talking to each other, he noticed that Mrs. Maxim did as he expected, and there was almost no wizard invited. It was almost because there was an old man standing in front of her - Mr. Edward, the old housekeeper.
If there were no male guests to hold out their hands to her, at least she had an old Edward who could hide it to avoid embarrassment. It's just that if you really want to become like that, it's a little better than sitting in your seat and nobody cares.
When the second dance music continued to play, Maka also happened to walk in front of Mrs. Maxim.
To tell you the truth, even without those twists and turns, there must not be many who want to invite her hostess. Because although she is the headmaster of busbarton and her status is enough to keep any male guests from losing face, the only disadvantage is that she is too big!
Marca has grown a lot now, and her body seems so thick, but he is still just a child standing in front of Mrs. Maxim.
You know, Mrs. Maxim's body proportion is not much different from that of ordinary people. Except for the overall enlargement, she really can't see the characteristics of giants. In addition, her outline is still soft, and her self-restraint and temperament are more combined. It can't be said that she is beautiful, but probably no one will think she is ugly.
Compared with Hagrid, who has a tiger back and a bear waist like a human beast, she is really more acceptable.
However, her so-called "overall magnification" is even more exaggerated than Hagrid. When it comes to getting up, she and Hagrid can stand more than half a head higher than each other. If someone compares the dance of the hornheim brothers and sisters to the dance of wild boars and domestic cats, Mrs. Maxim and Maka can only be described as brown bears and little raccoons.
Well, maybe it's exaggerated, but isn't that the scene in the eyes of other wizards?
Even Maka, who never cared about other people's eyes, couldn't help smiling bitterly when he extended his hand to Mrs. Maxim.
He could feel that almost all the Wizards in the auditorium focused on themselves. While the buzzing of conversation stopped suddenly, the slightly faster dance music echoed in the auditorium, as if interpreting the urgent heart of everyone who wanted to see a good play.
"Sorry to embarrass you..." Mrs. Maxim whispered with apology.
Maka shook her head slightly and said nothing more. It's obviously false to say it's not difficult. He doesn't bother to say that kind of hypocritical polite words. Now that he has come, he is naturally ready to finish the dance.
"Madam, please!"
He put his hand in front of Mrs. Maxim and held it gently upward, waiting for the other party to put his palm up.
Mrs. Maxim obviously hesitated, but after all, she is the principal of the three major magic schools in Europe. No matter how bad the current situation is, her bearing is always good.
Just in the blink of an eye, she gently saluted, and then took Marca's palm and walked with her to the dance floor.
In the past, when Marca was in front of Hagrid, two could equal the latter; Now he has finally grown a lot. He can withstand it in only one and a half. But now, he just felt as if he was 11 years old again. Looking forward, he could only see each other's stomach.
That is, Dumbledore had enough height to avoid being extremely abrupt when dancing with him in the top three. This time, if he came, he could only start from "where to put his hand".
In fact, the key is here - he can't use magic to do anything to himself or Mrs. Maxim. It's not appropriate to zoom in and out. Maxim is a giant hybrid, but her position does not allow her to admit it. Even on weekdays, people should ignore the difference in her body as much as possible.
If Marca deliberately gets bigger, she can dance normally, but isn't that tantamount to promoting Mrs. Maxim's "big bone shelf"?
"Ma'am, would you like to have a different dance?" Marca and Mrs. Maxim stood still by the dance pool. He just paused and asked loudly at once.
His voice was so loud that many people heard him.
"Oh? What's the difference?" Mrs. Maxim asked him with a look of curiosity.
"As far as I know, in ancient times, there was an ancient magical creature called 'saquak ice bee'. They built nests in the cold polar regions and lived on the cold ice and snow year after year. They were a beautiful creature with crystal clear body."
Maka spoke calmly, with a calm smile on her lips.
"... when they rejoice in the cold wave once every three years, they will fly and dance on the ice sheet, just like a ball of ice elves."
"Is that... An insect?"
At first, Mrs. Maxim just wanted to follow Marca and see what methods he would use to get rid of the dilemma. But listening, she couldn't help being interested.
"I don't know," Marca spread her hands irresponsibly and didn't care about the tunnel, "There are not many records in ancient books, and I only saw and wrote them down by chance... But looking at the description above, I think it may be a creature very similar to mountain fairies? Well, at least for those things I can't understand anymore, I'd rather let myself use my imagination more - it will make our memory better, won't it?"
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his right hand. For a moment, an invisible Rune suddenly appeared and disappeared in the air, followed by a little cold.
A cool whirlwind rose out of thin air between him and Mrs. maxim, and spread around them with condensed crystal snowflakes, which suddenly lowered the auditorium, which had become a little dull because of the fire in the fireplace.
"Let's imitate the ancient ice and snow elves and have a waltz in the air?"
It's no trouble for Maka to lift one or two people with the wind, even for "big women" like Maxim. The difficulty is to accurately control every trace of strength and let them fly in the form of dance.
At the next moment, Maka waved her hand again, took Mrs. Maxim and floated straight into the air. The two whirled in the air, sometimes separated and sometimes gathered. Surrounded by ice crystals and snowflakes, they were really like a unique slow waltz.
In fact, flying like this is quite laborious. The consumption of magic is not large, but it is very difficult to control. But if you want to get up in the air without any basis, the more convenient floating spell will not work.
"Although it's a little hard, it's an interesting idea." in the consternation of other wizards, Maka said to herself, "if you have a chance, maybe Luna can have a try?"
For the first time, Mrs. Maxim felt wonderful because she didn't rely on magic items to dance in the air. But she didn't know that Maka took her as an experiment in order to see if she could do it.
"This... What kind of magic is this?"
Maybe he was stunned for too long. At this time, someone finally made the first sound. Suddenly, the wizards who had been looking at the two people in the mid air of the auditorium with their mouths open woke up and began to whisper.
The improvement and innovation of various magic spells have been done in the modern magic world. However, it is very rare for Maka to make a new magic spell for a dance.
It can be said that those wizards who have done similar things with him have basically been entered into celebrity classics.
