No one could have imagined that Voldemort left this so-called "secret mission" just to save a child.
To be honest, it is not surprising that Voldemort and Bellatrix had a child. First of all, although Bellatrix had been married a long time ago, she had always been in love with Voldemort to an almost crazy degree. As long as Voldemort wanted to, she would never refuse him.
As for Voldemort, although Bellatrix has been sick from time to time, her appearance is still quite good. After all, the Black family has a good foundation. Regarding this, you can understand this somewhat by looking at Sirius who is unkempt all day long but still charming.
Maka was not surprised that these two guys with dark hearts could hook up.
However, during the past period of time, Voldemort had been forced to the point where he could no longer use it. Under such circumstances, I didn't expect that this guy could still have such leisurely elegance, which made Maka sincerely sigh.
Well, maybe it’s because I can’t vent the tightness in my chest
Maka was thinking about it while walking on the streets of the small town of Wells. The expression on her face always maintained that subtle energy that could not dissipate for a long time.
No matter what, the child is innocent after all. Although he, Maca McClain, could not be called a good person, he really couldn't do it to a baby that was just born.
To him, life mottos such as eternal troubles and so on can only be laughed at. From the beginning to the end, he was an ordinary person who was just getting along. The bottom line of his actions was always there. He couldn't say whether he was right or wrong, he just wanted peace of mind.
"The direction the Muggle woman ran away with her child in her arms should have been this way..."
The town of Wells is really not big, and even a walk around the whole town would not take more than a few hours. And after having some guidance, it becomes even easier to find people.
Because the woman only traveled on one pair of legs, he could guess that the other party's home was definitely not too far away. Come to think of it, if you come out after dark, it's probably just for a walk and shopping after dinner while it's still dark.
After walking a short distance along the road and arriving at a residential area with many houses, Maka went from house to house and listened to the noise. Not long after, he curled his lips and stood in front of a house.
There was nothing he could do, it was so lively inside that it was hard for him not to pay attention. In the room, the voices of men asking questions, women crying and scolding, and babies crying were all coming one after another. The high and low sounds were more enjoyable than going to the Royal Opera House in London to listen to an opera.
Maka just paused, then waved her hand to unlock the door, opened the door and walked straight in.
"Who are you! How did you get in!"
This house is not big, and there is a living room as soon as you enter the door. No, as soon as he stepped into the house, the male owner caught sight of him.
"I'm here to resolve conflicts in your family." Maka spread her hands and said, "Although I don't know what you are arguing about, I can roughly guess the cause of the matter - come, let me see the child."
As he spoke, he lifted his legs and walked inside, waving his hands as he walked. How could the power of the Confusion Curse be resisted by ordinary Muggles? The young couple were quarreling with each other one moment, but the next second, they both had confused faces... The woman named Sarah still had tears on her face!
Maka easily took the baby from the woman's hands. Strangely enough, the baby stopped crying as soon as it reached his arms, and looked at his curiously with a pair of big eyes full of tears. face.
"Delphi...hey!"
Maka had never held a child before. As soon as he put the little girl in his arms, he immediately realized that the baby was really not light. Is it possible that holding a child is actually a laborious task
"Your name is Delphi, do you know?"
He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the child's cheek. It was soft and slippery, which was quite a new experience. Perhaps because she was still far from the age to speak, little Delphi twisted her mouth and stared at Maka for a while.
After Maka finished teasing the little girl, she reached out and took a look at the swaddling clothes. Sure enough, a silver necklace was placed around her neck, with the vague magic power fluctuations in it carrying a very faint aura of black magic.
"You don't need this. The farther away you are from your biological father, the better. Do you understand?" As he said this, he took it off for her and put it back in the bag on his waist. inside.
"What's your family name?" Maka suddenly raised her head and asked the woman.
"Fisher." The woman replied immediately.
"It's a really good name," but there was nothing good about it on Maka's face. He lowered his head again after saying, "Delphi, I'll give you two choices now - if you like Fisher? For this surname, you hold this finger of mine; if you don’t like it, hold the other one.”
While saying this, he stretched out his index finger and middle finger in front of little Delphi, letting the little girl who was not yet sensible make her choice.
In fact, the choice is far more than just a last name. Maka is using this method to decide whether this little girl's future will live in the magical world or this Muggle world.
However, extraordinary children always make extraordinary choices. I saw little Delphi blinking her big eyes, looking at the two fingers with her long eyelashes, and then she opened her bow left and right and caught both of them.
"Humph... Hahaha..." Maka was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing loudly, as if she had thought of something interesting, "Okay! As a daughter, you are smarter than your father - okay Come on! Since you have chosen this way, I will follow your choice!"
Nowadays, Maka wants a child's magic power to never awaken. Although it will definitely be a bit troublesome, it is not impossible. Originally, if this little Delphi chose the surname Fisher, that was exactly what Maka planned to do.
But now, this little girl has chosen a life path that is ordinary to others. Of course, this is a journey completely incompatible with her background.
What is her choice? If you are neither a lifelong Muggle nor a lifelong wizard, then of course you are a wizard born from Muggles.
"Delphi Riddle... I will keep this name as far away from you as possible," Maka tucked the swaddling clothes for her, then looked at her and said, "From today on, you will be Delphi Fisher... Well, I really don’t feel like pronouncing this last name.”
Probably the future cheap father of Delphi in front of him has been a fisherman for generations. Although the surname Fisher is not uncommon, it makes Maka feel uncomfortable once he talks about it.
"... And I am your distant cousin... um, no, cousin?"
If we talk about the age of him and this little girl, it's not too much to say that they are cousins, but if we look at Voldemort's age, here...
"Okay, if you continue to struggle, you should become my elder!" Macca grinned slightly helplessly.
It is perfectly normal for a newly married couple to have a child. It was naturally not difficult for Maka to get the Fisher couple to recognize this little girl.
Soon, he walked away leisurely under the watch of the couple.
"Come and see her often in the future! Although I irresponsibly left the choice to her, this little girl's future life is still closely related to me."
Maybe many years later, like a real elder, he could send this child to Hogwarts, and then watch her continue to grow and write her own story. This kind of ending is quite beautiful just thinking about it, isn't it
"Maybe I can keep my kid company... Hmm, isn't it too soon?"
Maka muttered all the way, and after walking a certain distance, she went directly back to Hogwarts.
…
Early the next morning, as soon as Maka got up from bed, she found the owl Marfa already waiting outside the window. And what it brought to Maka was a letter from Scrimgeour, the current Minister of Magic.
This lightning-fast pursuit of the fugitive made Scrimgeour very happy. Needless to say, the Daily Prophet's headline was a disaster.
The letter of thanks was delivered together with the same newspaper. The only difference from yesterday was that the full newspaper contents were now complete. In order to warn certain people, and also to show his strength, Scrimgeour suppressed the results of yesterday's hunt until this morning before actually making them public.
And the facts proved that his choice was very correct. Because what the public who don't know the truth care about is not whether the prisoners awaiting trial in the Ministry of Magic's dungeons have escaped, but whether they have the chance to spread evil and panic again. This quick capture made many ordinary wizards sigh with relief, and they developed a good impression of the Ministry of Magic and Scrimgeour himself.
In the letter, Scrimgeour also vaguely mentioned a piece of news about Hogwarts. As soon as Maka saw it, he knew that the real benefits were coming!
It is a very good thing to have mutual benefits with the Minister of Magic. Just look at what Dumbledore did in the past. Dumbledore's choice to promote Cornelius Fudge was not wrong at that time, but he did not expect that Voldemort would suddenly be resurrected.
If there was peace, Fudge might be a safe Minister of Magic.
"It's certainly a good thing for Hogwarts to initiate a multi-school joint event!" Maka shook the exquisite letter paper and nodded with satisfaction.
