Hermione had always been a girl who was so confident that she was stubborn.

Oh no, maybe it's the other way around—maybe this Miss Granger is just a girl who stubbornly maintains that self-confidence all the time.

There may be a lot of so-called "geniuses" in this world, but Maca was right back then, at least he and Hermione were not one of them.

So when she has questions about learning, she always goes to the library to check materials; So when she encounters all kinds of problems, she will always try her best to try to solve them.

So she even wants to catch up with Maca's back when many of her classmates have given up comparing with Maca, and even looks forward to surpassing one day.

However, hidden behind the self-confidence she had worked so hard to build was actually a lack of security and a strong fear of failure.

Yes, just like the image of fear she revealed when she first met Boggart, it was Professor McGonagall who said she had failed all of her exams. What she was afraid of was the moment when the self-confidence she had worked so hard to support suddenly collapsed.

And this time, when she followed Maca out of St. Mungo with a lot of preparation and confidence, Helpo's appearance, the blockade of the retreat, and Luna's life finally shattered her self-confidence.

In the face of absolute strength, her preparation did not come in handy, but because of her reckless confession in the past, she became the target of Helbo's intention to hold Maca hostage.

Therefore, it turns out that Luna, who also has a deep affection for Maca in her heart, but has always hidden it in her heart and has not pierced her heart, is right.

From this point of view, she is undoubtedly a failure.

However, this alone does not make her completely lose her self-confidence, which is already gradually growing. Because even if your faith is broken, you can still "stick it back" with your own faith and hard work.

But correspondingly, if human life is broken...... Can it still be "glued"?

In the final analysis, it was Luna's death, who finally saved her life, that made her fully recognize her mistakes and failures for the first time in her life.

So, from the moment she realized that Luna was dead, she decided to give up her senseless self-certification.

She chose to stay in this position like Luna, looking at Maca's back from afar, silently waiting for Maca's return...... No more trying to be as stupid as you used to be.

It's a pity that Hermione Granger is still Hermione Granger after all. During her time at Luna's bedside, she gradually became aware of the anxiety in her heart.

As she had realized earlier, Luna's quiet watch was not something anyone could learn.

But then again, she and Luna are two diametrically opposed extremes, and it would be strange if she wanted to follow Luna's example, and it would be strange if she could adapt to it.

So, tonight, when Hermione found out that Delphi hadn't been able to continue falling asleep, she suddenly wanted to find a place to talk to her.

Yes, her initial idea was really just to find someone to chat with and relieve the depression in her heart.

But as Hermione and Delphi paced down the hallway, she suddenly thought of Delphi's interactions and conversations with Maca.

Thinking that the other party might have known Maca for a long time, Hermione suddenly wanted to take this opportunity to learn about Maca's past from the other party.

For many people, Marka's pre-school life was obviously a blank slate, and even with her and Maca's familiarity, she never took the initiative to ask about those extremely personal events.

Who made Maca reveal that she was an orphan at an early age? Even if he didn't seem to mind, everyone subconsciously avoided those topics from then on.

Now, Hermione finally learned a little about Maca's past from Delphi, a rare insider, and she forgot the anxiety in her heart for a while.

“…… Well, that's all I know about Mr. McLean's past. If you want to know more, why don't you ask him yourself! ”

Hermione was hearing the excitement when she saw Delphi stop talking, apparently having finished most of the "bedtime stories" her father had told her.

And in fact, since this is what her father used to lull her to sleep when she was a child, she basically didn't listen to all the stories. Halfway through the talk like this, there was no follow-up story, which made Hermione feel a little depressed.

"Really?"

"Unfortunately, there really isn't."

If Delphi remembers correctly, this was the first time Hermione had talked to her for so long.

You know, when she was at Hogwarts in the past, although she gradually became friends with many people, and often went to class with Luna and Hermione.

But probably because of her unknown identity, Hermione never let down her guard completely, and rarely spoke more than three sentences at a time. And even if they say a few more words sometimes, it's almost always inconsequential topics.

But this time tonight, because of Maca, the person they care about together, the two unconsciously put aside all kinds of unnecessary feelings and suspicions.

To be honest, Delphi didn't have many friends since she was a child—even at Fort Blois, her sisters, who cared for her and loved her in everything, were more like a group of elders worthy of her respect.

And after that, with her father running around, it was naturally even more difficult for her to meet any peers of the same age who could be friends.

Because of this, after coming to this era of peace at the beginning, she especially lingered on the leisurely days at Hogwarts Castle.

There, she met Harry Potter, a young man who was completely different from the "hot-blooded bearded uncle" in her memory, and met Neville Longbottom, a "brave and handsome uncle" who can summon a powerful griffin to summon gods in the future, but is still so low-key.

Before that, the first person to come to her to make friends was the "Sleeping Beauty" she had only seen in the exclusive ward of the rebel headquarters, Miss Luna Lovegood.

That's right, that's exactly what she's determined to kill after more than ten years of adventure.

Seriously, after such a long time of contact with Luna, Delphi has deeply understood why Dad would be willing to be seriously injured for the sake of this woman. I am afraid that this has gone beyond the so-called love, and it is a kind of "unbearable" that is difficult to let go.

Because of this blonde girl who speaks softly and has a pure and transparent heart, even she, who is also a woman, can't help but feel pity. Let such an innocent and innocent girl lie on the hospital bed like that for the rest of her life, and anyone with a conscience will probably feel heartache and uneasiness.

However, even if Delphi had been entangled, distressed, hesitant, and reluctant in her heart for a while, she still chose the latter compared to her father's safety.

In the midst of the perilous war and apocalypse, it is Maca who still does not forget her daughter; It was Maca who protected her daughter with all her heart in crisis after crisis; In such a difficult environment, she still remembers that it is Maca who often finds time to accompany her daughter.

So when Maca took her to the island of Rowena, when she mistakenly broke into the room that Maca had said she would not enter and met her real father for the first time, she was never swayed by Voldemort's remnant's rhetoric.

If there was a man who not only spared the enemy's child, but also treated her as if she were his own daughter. What others would think of Delphi didn't know or care, she just knew that she didn't need another father at all.

In this regard, in fact, even Maca would not think like Delphi, because after all, it is really her biological father! He'd probably at least hesitate a bit.

That's why Maca thinks that Delphi is indeed with Voldemort in some places...... Or rather, there is a lineage of similarities with Tom Riddle.

Of course, in addition to the series of friends mentioned above, including Luna, Delphi also got to know the Hermione Granger in front of him.

In fact, during the war-torn years that Delphi experienced, she and the future "Ms. Granger" also knew each other.

But compared to the girl she is now, the Granger lady she remembers is even more gentle...... with paranoia.

Yes, in the future, Hermione does have these two personality traits that seem completely incompatible.

Most of the time, she only worked quietly in the logistics area of the rebel headquarters, and was polite and gentle with people. She is good at unraveling spells, healing, building planning, and enlightening people's hearts...... Among the rebels, she has a reputation no less than that of Maca.

However, Delphi has heard many people mention that this Granger lady is also quite good at fighting. With the exception of a few people such as Father, Bearded Potter, and Mr. Blois, he was almost undefeated by anyone else.

But she never left the rebel headquarters, and even the number of shots she made was surprisingly small. Even in the most critical moments of the front, she just smiled and then remained at the headquarters with extraordinary stubbornness, never going out once.

If she hadn't had the popularity she had accumulated on weekdays, and many old friends who were also the main force of the Resistance to help her cover up, it might have been difficult for her to continue to maintain her image in the Resistance.

However, this girl who is almost the same age as herself may be much less gentle than her in the future, but she is also less paranoid.

When he was talking about his father's past, Delphi had taken a closer look at the Miss Granger in front of him. And what she felt from the other party, in addition to the depression that was slightly similar to the future, there seemed to be a trace of invisible anxiety.

Suddenly, Delphi suddenly remembered the anomaly he had noticed in the hospital room before.

"Future...... Changing? ”
