Perhaps, going to Winchester to find Maka and find out is the biggest wish buried deep in the hearts of everyone here. It's just that except for a few people such as Hermione and Luna, no one else has the confidence or reason to ask.
For Harry and his friends, Maka is really a very special existence. Because they have always been favored by Maka since they entered Hogwarts, but none of them have really helped Maka.
Yes, they and Maka are all friends, and it seems that friends should not pay attention to favors and rewards. However, enjoying all the time without paying accordingly is no longer the way to get along with friends.
So Harry and the others can only work hard silently, trying to make themselves grow up, hoping that one day in the future, they can use their own power to repay Maka's kindness... Even among these powers, there is also Maka's incomparable power. Obliterated shadow.
But Hermione was different. Although it wasn't actually much, she did help Maka with her wisdom. Luna was even more different. She even used her body to block Maka. Have been hurt by sharp blades.
Well... It is worth mentioning that the so-called "sharp blade" is the Gryffindor sword in Harry's hand.
As for the people who are staying with them now, are there any other partners who have helped Maka... Delphi can definitely be counted as one. It's a pity that she has completely lost her fighting ability. Even if she wants to see Maka again, she can no longer do it.
"Miss Granger and Miss Lovegood?"
When Hermione and Luna flew together on their broomsticks over the English Channel, Delphi, who was staying at the Granger camp, happened to see it.
"Oh," she said softly to herself as she stood still for a moment by the road on the coast, looking at the two figures receding above the sea, "Miss Lovegood... finally gave up her persistence?"
After muttering like this, she suddenly stopped looking at the two almost invisible dots in the sky. She just looked at the open sea in the distance and said in a daze:
"Castle Blois is gone, Hogwarts Castle is gone, the whole of Britain has been completely occupied, and everyone in the surrounding countries is in danger... Everything seems to be different, but the result is not much different. Everything seems to be different. It’s all happening again and again in another form…”
"Father, you said that my memories are all your fabrications. Indeed, they are different from reality; however, you also said that you will make the future in my memory never come true - this promise, Should I believe it?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch her chest gently... There was a time turner with her name engraved on it that Maka had handed to her before leaving the island.
"Dad, you must come back, otherwise, I will use it - I am serious, I am not scaring you! Even if it will kill me, I will still use it, because my life is originally That’s what you gave me.”
Delphi stood quietly at the beach. After a while, she put down the left hand that was holding her chest, and walked back to the Granger camp step by step with the staff that Maka had given her. .
She knew very well that with her current abilities, there was only this much she could do. Moreover, she wanted to save her life for Maka and her father.
Because she is both the "future" and the "past".
…
Moving the time back... But in fact, it was more than ten minutes after Delphi witnessed Hermione and Luna rushing to Weymouth side by side. The two people who arrived on the other side of the strait met at the Weymouth camp and were about to go. Belgium is looking for their Ginny.
"Hermione... Luna?"
After following Ginny back into the tent, the two women were greeted by a series of doubtful glances.
"The plan to go to Birmingham is temporarily postponed," Hermione, who had already made up her mind under Luna's persuasion, said decisively, "Let's go to Winchester to find Maka right now!"
As mentioned before, this sentence may be what everyone is silently waiting for. So after Hermione said it, they simply forgot about the loopholes they had just discussed about the plan to go to Birmingham, and they all showed great enthusiasm for this mention.
There is no doubt that even though Maka drove them back without saying a word not long ago, Harry and the others did not complain much. Compared with this, they hoped that they could go to Maka to explain clearly.
They are all Dumbledore's students. It can be said that everyone has the courage to eradicate evil and bring hope and peace to the world.
Didn’t Maka also say that? Sometimes being reckless is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he had forgotten it, but Harry and the others kept almost every word he said in mind!
"Of course, we still have to understand that we are going to Winchester this time to find Maka, not to fight living corpses or even Halbo! Remember to protect yourself, and nothing will happen to anyone... Hermione pointed at Harry and gave a special reminder, "Especially Harry, do you understand?"
"… do you understand?"
Luna on the side saw this and followed suit, pointing her index finger at the tip of Harry's nose.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Harry raised his hands helplessly towards the two of them and said in surrender, "But Hermione, you also remember, if anyone is really in danger of life, then I won't care. Not anymore!"
Hearing this, Hermione could only glance at him sideways, then waved her hand and said:
"I don't need to say anything else. After all, you have all been to Winchester. Moreover, because of the previous clearing of the black flame wizards, the dangers on the road should be much less than last time... Let’s get ready each!”
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone got up and packed their things. Even Ron, who had been lying in the corner, hurriedly got up and took inventory of the items on hand.
The tent suddenly became busy, as if the scene where everyone was sitting and chatting just now had never happened.
Hermione knew that, leaving aside the trip to Winchester, as soon as she got there, she wouldn't be able to come back anytime soon.
That's right, even if Maka drives people away in person, she won't leave.
And considering that Winchester is not far away from London and can already be regarded as the enemy's hinterland, there is no need to say how dangerous it is there.
Obviously, there are not only dangers along the way, but when we get there, everything has just begun!
"Hermione, I brought three bottles of butterbeer. Maka and I will drink it together then!"
Luna said this coldly.
