The pain in Delphi's heart is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. At least for now, even Maka, who was hugging her gently, was far from fully understanding her feelings.
There is no doubt that although Delphi has not told everything before, the experiences she told Maka can be said to be true.
To be able to reach this point today, she has experienced too much suffering and has grown up in that war-torn environment. Even if she has a narrow escape, it is not an exaggeration.
It's really not easy for this girl.
"Dad... you know? Although you are not the father in the future, there is really not much difference between you now and you in the future. When I came to this era and saw you for the first time, I was filled with emotion. I was shocked—"
"Really, apart from looking much younger, your words, deeds, and actions have not changed much in the past ten years or so. You are still so gentle and powerful, even though I have gone through so many trials and hardships. I haven't slacked off every night, but I still can't catch up with you more than ten years ago."
"Dad, don't worry... Although I did hate you because of Sister Cathy's death. But after that, you took me around, protecting me, teaching me magic, and fighting with Haierbo's men. In the past few years, I have deeply understood how difficult it is for you. Maybe you don’t know it yet, but we have already reconciled... "
"And Tom Riddle, although he is my biological father, I actually don't miss him at all. In my memory, there are only the days when I lived happily with everyone at Castle Blois, and The time when you carefully accompany me and be a good father seriously."
"Dad, I... I have so much to say to you, really..."
Listening to the girl in his arms whispering in a low voice, her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and finally she fell asleep in his arms. Maka couldn't help but sigh softly when she saw this.
It was actually hard for him to imagine how tense a person had to be to relax before he could just fall asleep standing up. But at least he understood that Delphi was really tired—and much more tired than he was.
To be honest, Maka still has a lot of questions she wants to ask! But looking at the situation now, he thinks it’s better to forget it for the time being!
The next moment, Maka twisted slightly and carried Delphi on her back. After some hesitation, she chose to go to Diagon Alley.
Because he still remembered that Delphi didn't seem to want to go to St. Mungo's... He didn't know what the reason was
…
"Maka?"
When she arrived near the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron, the first people Maka bumped into were Harry and Neville. I saw the two of them standing on both sides of the bar door, one on the left and the other on the right. They looked like the kind of stone lions placed in front of the shops in Chinatown.
"You are here..." Maka jumped down from the magic book and looked at the blood stains on the two of them and said, "How are you? Nothing happened?"
"Oh, no," Harry said immediately, "Before we got here, Sirius and the others' counterattack had been successfully completed. Now they are exploring from here as the center. If anything happens, the two of us will also Go help.”
"Yes," Neville said immediately, "but for now we are responsible for guarding the gate."
"Is that so?" Maka nodded, "Very good. Defending Diagon Alley is a very important task, and it seems to be a good fit for you... Keep up the good work, and pay attention to safety!"
After that, he was about to walk through the door as if nothing had happened, but he saw Harry couldn't help but said hesitantly:
"Maka, that beautiful girl you are carrying behind your back...who is she?"
"What you have seen - it's just that she always wears a windbreaker and a hat, so you can't recognize her. Well, don't worry, she was just too tired and fell asleep."
As Maka spoke, she kept walking. As soon as she finished speaking, the person left. Harry and Neville looked at the closed door of the bar outside the door, and after a few seconds they couldn't help but look at each other.
"So beautiful!"
"Harry, are you really okay with this? Be careful what I tell Ginny."
"You've been staring too! Be careful I tell Hannah!"
"Hmm... It's okay to tell Hannah, just don't tell Hermione... Oh, or should we remind Hermione and Luna later?"
"Go to you! I haven't lived enough yet..."
Listening to the conversation outside the door behind her, Maka could only shake her head helplessly, and then casually said hello to Lupine who was staying in the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
"I'll go up first. If you have anything to do, wait until I come down later."
Naturally, there was more than just Lupin in the bar. Everyone saw Maka carrying Delphi upstairs, and they immediately secretly discussed among themselves - when everything was in a mess, what was Maka from? Where did you get such a beautiful woman back
However, doubts remain doubts, and everyone still has a lot to do at this moment. Even if it is gossip, it has to wait until we find a way to survive this disaster.
Upstairs, Maka could naturally hear the discussion downstairs, and even knew that there might be some unscrupulous guys thinking about dirty things. But he couldn't go down and strangle them one by one, so he had no choice but to let it go.
After all, even if you tell them that Delphi is your "daughter", few people will believe it, right
After going to the corridor upstairs, Maka randomly picked a room on the inside, gently put Delphi, who was still sleeping, on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
After he placed Delphi in place and left a few protective spells on the door, he creaked down the stairs again.
"Want a bottle of butterbeer? I'll give it to you for free for Old Tom!"
Hearing Lupine sitting behind the bar say this, Maka immediately waved her hands and said:
"Goodbye, I'm not thirsty right now, and I'm not in the same mood... Just tell me directly! Did you gain anything from the previous counterattack and subsequent search? Or is there anything worth noting?"
"Is the strength of Harry and Neville something noteworthy?" Lupine heard this and put down the bottle and said, "You may not know yet, but these two children not only saved many people when they came here, , and even cooperated with each other to kill a guy with black eyes!"
"oh?"
When Maka heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Not to mention that he has also personally fought against the Collector. Just seeing that Haierbo has spent a lot of effort to create them one by one, you can know that the strength of those guys cannot be underestimated.
"Well, I have to remember to praise them both later!"
