Answer 1

There is not enough context in the passage provided to determine at whom Septimus is smiling, as the passage does not explicitly mention the character Septimus or provide any related action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage in question does not provide explicit information about Septimus smiling at someone in particular. Therefore, without the context of which work or which part of a text this excerpt is taken from, it's impossible to provide an accurate and factual answer regarding to whom Septimus is smiling.

The provided passages do not contain a character named Septimus, nor do they hint at the context in which he is smiling. A detailed examination of the referenced work where Septimus is a character would be required to answer this question properly.
