If he no longer always runs around alone, if he is always accompanied by a girl who can follow him every step of the way, can the father pay more attention to himself-not just the personal safety of others
After all, Luna is not the only girl in this world who always cares and pays attention to him. Even if he might not have any love for Miss Granger, he would at least be worried about her presence, right
If Hermione could be allowed to stay with her father, maybe she could make her father give up the idea of using the time turner again and again
Although the possibility of success is not very high, she is not willing to let it go even if there is only a slight chance that her "cheap daughter" has completely failed.
"Yes, the future is changing... So, as long as the worst thing hasn't happened yet, no matter how small the chance is, everything is still possible!"
"What's more, dad has always been gentle and considerate, and he will be like this now and in the future."
Thinking of this, Delphi hoped that Hermione would agree to her proposal just now - as long as her father could no longer take risks with the time turner, she could do anything.
However, getting Hermione to leave St. Mungo's and go to Maka seems to be more difficult than Delphi imagined.
"I already understand what you said, but... please let me think about it again."
At the end of the conversation between the two of them, although Delphi even agreed to the so-called "opportunity", Hermione didn't even ask what the opportunity was. She just said "think about it" and left the bathroom.
As a result, Delphi was the only one left in this already dark and cold bathroom.
After Hermione left, she looked at her other self in the mirror and sighed softly. But then, she suddenly looked beyond her shoulder in the mirror and towards the toilet cubicle behind.
"Hello, haven't you heard enough? To be honest, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit!"
Is there anyone else in this bathroom
After Delphi's words echoed slightly and gradually settled down, she immediately saw that in the third compartment, a milky-white figure suddenly penetrated directly from the door panel of the compartment and floated to the bathroom. In the middle of the room.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to eavesdrop... In fact, this is my territory. The therapists at St. Mungo's and many patients in the Curse Injury Department know this."
Yes, it was a wizard ghost who looked a little old-fashioned in his clothing. His expression looked a little melancholy, but other than that, there was nothing special about him.
But after hearing what the other party said, Delphi immediately shook his head.
"Even the dean of St. Mungo's can't say that this is his territory. How dare you say that?" She retorted casually, and then said, "Anyway, can you tell me who you are first?"
"Well, it seems you really don't know me?" The ghost suddenly said a little disappointed, "So, okay... I am Bone Elliot, the only patient at St. Mungo's who drowned himself in the sewer... Oh, please, don’t remind me of this embarrassing incident again!”
In fact, Elliot, the sewer ghost, is quite famous in the British wizarding community. Although it certainly cannot be said to be a household name, children who are sick or injured when they are young will often be warned by the nurse sister to use the strange reality of this ghost to carefully follow the doctor's instructions during their hospitalization.
It is said that in addition to being called the "sewer ghost", Eliot is often called a "soft ghost".
In the last month of his life, he was hit by a wrong spell, and his whole body was turned into a pile of limp flesh. He was put in a sack and sent to St. Mungo's.
To be honest, this was a rather troublesome serious illness, and it was personally treated by the dean at the time.
However, when he finally regained his human form, he ignored some of the precautions that the dean had repeatedly warned him about. At a time when he was likely to relapse, he went to the bathroom to use the toilet, and then he accidentally flushed himself into the sewer and drowned alive.
Of course, there are occasional rumors that he was actually stinked to death, because he always showed an extremely gloomy expression when someone mentioned the cause of his death.
Yes, just like it is now.
"Die in the sewer?"
"Oh, don't ask me to explain anymore, I don't want to mention that at all!"
In the resentful and depressed eyes of Mr. Elliot, Delphi immediately turned around and shook his head.
"No, there's no need to explain, and I don't really want to hear it." She thought for a while and said, "Then... Although I'm a little sorry, I have to use a forgetting spell on you. I think you should be able to understand - I was talking to you just now Miss Granger's conversation is actually important, especially in times like these."
"The Forgetting Curse? No... I don't need this, right?"
Ghost Elliot saw that the beautiful young witch in front of him actually took out the wand so quickly. He hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"I promise, I won't tell anyone a word!"
Having said that, he wanted to turn back and get into the cubicle again. When Delphi saw it, he immediately waved his wand to add a magic barrier to the door of the toilet cubicle.
Immediately, Elliot bumped into it in a very embarrassed manner, and was unable to penetrate it like usual.
"Oh, no! Don't come here. I can't remember what you said! Besides, what if you accidentally delete more of my memories?"
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled in using the Forgetting Curse. Nothing like that will happen." While Delphi was speaking, the wand in his hand was already pointed at Etelio's location.
"Everything is forgotten!"
Generally speaking, spells that cause physical effects on the target are ineffective against ghosts. However, spells like these that act on the spiritual level are not effective for living or non-living objects that exist purely as spiritual bodies, such as ghosts. On the contrary, the effect is very excellent.
Elliot didn't even make any decent evasion or resistance. He was just struck by Delphi's forgetting spell, which easily erased the conversation he had just had with Hermione.
There is no way, for Delphi, the previous series of conversations are almost all important, and she may not want the third person to know - even if this "third person" is actually a ghost.
Seeing the other party being hit by the spell and looking around blankly, Delphi nodded with satisfaction.
…
At the same time, on the other side, in Luna's ward.
"Squeak-"
With an inaudible sound, Hermione, who had just returned from the bathroom, opened the door gently, then tiptoed through the friends who were laying on the floor, and came to Luna's bed again.
But just when she wanted to think about Delphi's previous persuasion and suggestions, a voice suddenly rang in the quiet ward.
"Hermione, it's so late, where were you just now?"
It was Ron who spoke - even though it was dark in the ward and everyone was lying down sleeping, it was obvious that she was very familiar with Ron's voice.
"Well, I just went to the bathroom." Hermione said casually, "Go to sleep! No one knows what will happen tomorrow. While there is still time to have a good sleep, don't think too much about it for the time being. ”
"Then you haven't slept yet?" Ron lowered his voice so as not to disturb others' sleep. "Hermione, to be honest, I really can't help it."
"If you can't help it, go to the bathroom quickly. What are you doing lying there holding back?"
"Oh! No, I'm not talking about going to the bathroom!"
Ron felt that he couldn't tell whether Hermione was joking or not, because he could hear that there was no hint of laughter in the other person's tone.
"It's just because many people are feeling anxious right now - I even went for a walk on the lower floors during the day, and I feel like both therapists and patients are having a very difficult time. That's why I feel a little unbearable. Want to do something.”
Hearing what Ron said, Hermione couldn't help but be startled, and then frowned in distress.
"Do you even want to go out..."
Not only Delphi, but also Ron happened to mention this, which confused Hermione very much. Isn't Luna's point of view correct? It's best to do what you want to do
After pursed her lips for a moment, Hermione finally sighed secretly again.
"Anyway, go to sleep first!" she said to Ron. "Even if you have any ideas, let's talk about it tomorrow - everyone is still asleep!"
After saying this, Hermione stopped trying to get into trouble, picked up the blanket that Maka had covered herself with before, wrapped herself up, and then continued to lie on the edge of Luna's hospital bed and closed her eyes.
Not far away, Ron, who was lying on the ground, muttered something in a voice that no one could hear clearly, and then he curled up and tried to urge himself to fall asleep again.
As Hermione said, who knows what might happen tomorrow? It’s better to sleep a little longer while you can still sleep normally!
It was at this moment that Delphi, who was left in the bathroom by Hermione, opened the door and walked in. After glancing at Hermione lying beside the hospital bed, she closed the door silently and returned to the armchair in the corner of the ward to fall asleep.
