"Those guys... there are more of them."
When Maka took Luna into the fog, what he saw was a mess.
The war has spread to all parts of the city. The Muggle army was forced to evacuate due to heavy casualties. A fire dragon was flying through the air, chasing five black-eyed wizards.
The whole situation shows the determination to make a final decision.
However, no matter how the situation changes next, what Maka has to do now will not change.
Returning to St. Mungo's with Luna, the two hurried upstairs to the ward on the fifth floor. As soon as he saw that the door was closed and there was still protective magic on it, he knew that at least there was someone inside.
Yes, at this time, someone will definitely go out and join the battle - at least, Harry is definitely not here anymore.
Maka didn't bother to knock on the door, she casually released the protective magic and opened the door and walked in.
"Maka!"
"I know - I saw it on the way back." Seeing that Ron was the first to rush up, Maka couldn't help but reached out and patted his shoulder, "Very good, you guys can resist leaving here, this is undoubtedly my fault." This is the scene I hope to see the most. Now, don’t worry, I will find a way!”
As he spoke, he looked at Hermione who was leaning silently against the wall.
Obviously, when Luna followed him into the ward, she was completely stunned. Even though all the other friends present couldn't help but froze for a moment when they saw Luna, Hermione was undoubtedly the most shocked among them.
After all, besides Maka, the one who knows the most clearly about a certain "fact" here is definitely Hermione. Even Luna herself had no idea what "had happened" to her.
"Lou...Luna? Haven't you already..."
"Hermione!"
Seeing that she was about to express the questions in her heart subconsciously, Maka immediately interrupted her and then raised her index finger in front of her mouth.
"Sh-don't ask anything," Maka said, "Anyway, Luna is back, that's enough, isn't it?"
With Hermione's intelligence, she immediately realized that there must be some unspeakable secret in it. But as Maka said - in short, Luna is back, isn't that enough
"Um."
Hermione didn't say anything else, she just ran over quickly and hugged Luna tightly.
Maka looked at the excited Hermione and Luna who was suddenly hugged but still in a daze, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"You guys stay here and wait, I'll be back soon." After Maka heard what he said, Hermione quickly turned her head and looked over, and immediately waved her hand, "Don't worry, this time it's really... A little while! Fifteen minutes at most!"
Having said that, seeing Hermione turn her head away somewhat reluctantly, he turned around and walked out of the ward.
However, let alone fifteen minutes, Maka was out for less than five minutes. Soon, everyone saw the door being opened again, and then he re-entered everyone's sight.
"Hermione, Ron...have you seen Delphi?"
"You mean, Miss Fisher?"
When Hermione was still confused, Ron immediately answered him:
"She came back once, but after we received the message from Lupine at the Leaky Cauldron, she went out first."
"gone?"
Maka's head hurts a little now - Delphi woke up much earlier than he expected!
…
"Why did dad let me fall asleep there? What was he going to do?"
This question has been lingering in Delphi's mind for a long time, but he has never been able to find a definite answer.
When she thought about it, Maka might have gone to save Luna and was still using the time turner. So, are you worried that you will find a way to thwart his plan
Well, if I have to say it, maybe! She would be unwilling to use Hermione's hand to entangle Maka, and she would naturally want to use other methods to try a second or third time.
From this perspective, indeed, what Dad did was not wrong.
However, would Dad really rather risk serious injury than rescue Miss Lovegood? Could he just...
"...Don't you think about my feelings any more!"
"boom!"
With a loud noise, a bird made of ice crystals suddenly flew across the street and directly hit the spherical shields of three black-eyed wizards.
At the same time, Delphi suddenly waved the wand in his hand forward, and a large swath of cold wind instantly hit the three "black balls" that were knocked away.
For a time, the sudden drop in temperature caused the street and the buildings on both sides to become mottled with frost. The three black balls were directly covered with a large amount of ice.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
When the black ball flew out and landed on the road, the ultra-low temperature immediately caused cracks in the shield, and then it shattered together with the ice crystal shell.
Cooling rune—this was taught to her by her father, who had helped her overcome many crises. But this time, she was venting rather than fighting.
"If dad finds out, maybe he will give you a good lecture? Such a wasteful use..."
Delphi gasped and muttered to herself. After seeing that the three black-eyed wizards were no longer moving, she reached out and summoned the ice crystal giant bird.
Soon, she sat on the back of the bird and flew high, and then landed on the top of the tallest building nearby.
"Bang."
When the giant bird landed on the edge of the roof, Delphi lightly jumped to the ground, and then sat down on the corner of the roof. He saw her hanging her legs outside and fell into silence.
Yes, she does feel that even though the "dad" of this era is very similar to the future, there seems to be something missing. However, after all, there is a gap of more than ten years, which is almost inevitable.
Therefore, even if Maka actually knocked her out, she would not be able to change from love to hate.
She was just worried about whether her father would be able to come back safely... or whether he would still be as seriously injured as she remembered and almost never come back.
Therefore, even if Delphi was not in the mood to come out to deal with those black-eyed wizards, she still came out - she didn't want to stay in the ward and wait anxiously with everyone anymore!
"call-"
After more than ten minutes of looking at the city without saying a word, she reached out and touched the crystal cold body of the ice bird beside her, and sighed quietly.
After all, isn't it still her incompetence as a daughter
In fact, Delphi's true age this year is even about a year older than Maka's current age. But look! She was almost carefree, with only her father in her heart, and she was determined to die, but she seemed to have accomplished nothing.
She had just confirmed that Haierbo's mirror space had been completely sealed by the other party, and she could no longer enter. And this means that even if she wants to fight desperately, she won't be able to get in at all.
Besides venting her anger and killing some soldiers, and then waiting anxiously for her father to return, what else could she do
The next moment, Delphi unconsciously touched her chest, but soon she shook her head feebly.
"Let's go!"
She patted the ice bird, then suddenly rose into the air and landed accurately on the giant bird's neck. When the ice bird spread out its crystal-clear wings, with just a wave, the cold wind blew up.
"Delphi..."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, but it was still clear despite the strong wind during takeoff.
"Wait a minute."
"dad?"
Delphi, who was on the bird's back, quickly turned around and looked at the roof behind with a surprised look on his face. He saw the figure wearing a dark green wizard's robe standing alone, looking straight at him.
"… dad!"
She no longer cared about fighting, and immediately jumped off the bird's back again, running to Maka's side in three steps at a time. Immediately afterwards, I saw her checking Maka up and down, sniffing, and throwing herself into Maka's arms.
"You... do you know how I felt when I woke up? How dare you... How dare you just leave like that! You... you don't want your life!"
What changed history, what was wasted effort, what was powerless, Delphi put all these things aside. As long as he could see his father standing in front of him, nothing seemed to matter anymore.
On the other side, Maka patted her back gently, with a slightly complicated expression on her face.
"Delphi, it's okay... Look, I'm fine! I'm not injured, and I'm not dead. I changed the ending that couldn't have been worse..."
"etc!"
When he heard Maka's words, Delphi finally seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head - if Maka hadn't raised his head in time, Delphi, who was leaning on her shoulder, would have almost died. A head was pushed into his face.
"Why... why am I still here? What on earth did you do?"
"Oh, I didn't do anything big - in fact, Luna's life and death has nothing to do with you, right? Otherwise, do you think you can still survive after you have done something evil to her? Still unscathed?"
"But-"
"I understand what you want to say," Maka raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "I know you want to ask - why I was not seriously injured, but you were not erased by the rules of time. Well, but the answer It's actually very simple, because everything you know actually didn't happen... you just used the time turner, and then went back in time and came to me, that's all."
As he spoke, he took a step back slightly, then looked at Delphi and pointed at her chest.
"I guess your name is engraved on it, Delphi MacLean... am I right?"
