Hermione's so-called "long time ago" was naturally referring to Marka's time at Hogwarts. Needless to say, she thought of Delphi as Maca's childhood friend.

But think about it, how many people in this world can detect the true origin of Delphi?

"Mr. McLean's 'past'...... Is it? Delphi looked at Hermione, who was still looking at the mirror, and said softly, "Well, his past, there's nothing he can't say to you." It's just that I don't know much more than you......"

Now, not to mention Maca's past, even the future things that Delphi is familiar with will change dramatically.

After all, she was here to reverse what she knew about "history".

However, when it comes to the events before Maca received her admission letter to Hogwarts, Delphi really knows something that she still remembers, when she was a child, when she was on the move from place to place with Marca, the other party used to reminisce and tell her many old stories as bedtime stories.

So for now, after a slight pause, Delphi turned and leaned lightly against the clean wall next to the sink.

The next moment, her soft but pleasant voice gradually echoed in the bathroom of only two people. Like one night she remembered, hugging her father in the ruins, with a clear and discernible gentleness.

"I remember when Mr. McLean was nine years old, his mother died......"

In fact, Maca never admitted that her childhood was miserable, both in her past life and in this life. Although his life was indeed not good at the beginning, there are many people in this world who are more miserable than him, and it is not his turn to complain.

But it must be said that at least in this life, his childhood was not happy.

Today, many people have heard that he came from a Muggle family.

But probably only a handful of people like Dumbledore would know that his father was an abusive gambler who had lost his life, and that his mother was an old mistress who had been abandoned by maritime merchants.

When he opened his eyes for the first time in that dark and cramped old house in his life, what he saw as a baby was a drunken gambler father and a fat-covered bewitching mother standing on both sides of the cot and insulting each other.

To be honest, Maca didn't feel too dissatisfied with those scenes, after all, being able to live again was already a gift from God.

But when the couple's spit fell on his face like rain, he still cursed to himself, and closed his big bright eyes again.

Yes, not to mention the biggest secret of his second life, even if it was a childhood family like this, Maca would definitely not casually tell Delphi, who was still a little girl. Even if he doesn't care very much about his poor background, he is afraid that the bad deeds of his parents will bring the still innocent little Delphi to the ruin!

Thus, the story that the future Maca tells to Delphi begins after his mother died when he was nine years old.

At that time, Mr. McLean used all the money he had recovered from his family to buy a cemetery and headstone for his mother. After a funeral with no priests and no guests, he sold his family's very small dilapidated house to someone else, and then sneaked on a ferry to Topointt in the crowd on the docks. ”

At this point, Delphi couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"At that time, I also accused him that it was a bad behavior for him to take the boat without paying...... But guess what he said to me? He actually told me that a child his size should have been on the boat for free! ”

Hermione, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel a little amused as she listened. But when she thought that Maca had left her home alone when she was nine years old, and had skipped a ticket to board the ship in order to save money for a ferry ticket, she soon couldn't laugh.

"Miss Fisher...... At that time, were you also with Maca? ”

……

While Hermione was listening to Delphi recount Maca's past and mistakenly thought that the two might have gone through their childhood tribulations together, she didn't realize that before she and Delphi left the room, Maca had turned his time-turner again.

It's just that Maca's second time back to the chosen point in time has already exceeded the tentative safety limit of five hours, of course, this safety limit is not set by him.

When the ticking sound like the second hand turned again, the world in front of Maca's eyes turned from a slight blur to a clear one. And the Muggle street in front of St. Mungo's sight was already filled with a large number of witches and wizards who were coming in groups from afar.

From here, it can be seen that the old wizard who walked in the forefront is like Mr. Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

"No problem, it's about the same time."

Maca stood in this unoccupied room, quietly looking at the group of wizards through the window, and nodded silently.

He remembers very well that it was this recent morning that Akinbad led the supporters of the Federation to St. Mungo.

And just over ten minutes later, he came out of the hospital with Hermione, Luna and the others, intending to lead the remaining half of the supporters to the Diagon Alley defense.

But before he could leave here with everyone, Helbo came over first.

Seeing the group of supporters getting closer and closer, Maca waved her hand and closed the curtains on both sides of the window. Because he knew that just reining in his magic fluctuations might be able to easily escape Akinbad's detection, but it might not be discovered by himself or the despicable Helbo who came out later.

In order to prevent mistakes, he simply closed the window...... Anyway, he knew exactly what was going to happen outside, and he didn't need to look at it anymore.

What's more, even if it took a little longer to go back this time, he didn't plan to do anything yet. Because this time, he's just here to be a calm bystander.

"Alright, now according to the plan set before, half of the people will follow me in, and the remaining half will stay on the street to defend and standby!"

After a few moments, Maca, who was sitting on the sofa by the window, heard a voice outside the window, and he knew that Akinbad was going to lead someone into St. Mungo.

Sure enough, only another ten minutes had passed before his own voice came from outside.

"You guys come with me next, and we'll go to the Diagon Alley defense line for reinforcements...... I don't think I'm qualified, but on behalf of the many wizards and Muggles in London, I would like to thank you for your help again and again......"

“…… Well, so be it! Time is running out, so let's go now! ”

Naturally, these words were addressed to those supporters.

Seriously, without Akinbad, without these Federation supporters who came to their aid at the risk of dying at any moment, London would have been ten times worse off than it had been before Maca returned.

So it must be said that when Maca thanked them, she did do so with a sincere heart.

"Next...... It must have been the time when Luna and I discovered Helbo, right? ”

As soon as she thought that Luna was still alive at this time, Maca's heart trembled, and to this day, Maca has begun to realize what kind of mood the "future self" was in at the beginning.

"Luna, who is still alive."

Suddenly, Maca couldn't help but quietly flick the curtains.

"Wait, Maka!"

He never expected that he had just opened the corner of the curtain, only to find that his gaze had collided with the pair of silver-gray eyes downstairs.

Maca, who was shocked at the time, quickly withdrew her left hand that opened the curtain slightly, and then was stunned for two seconds. It wasn't until he heard his own voice outside again that he came back to his senses.

"Hermione, take someone back! Immediately...... Go back! ”

Looking at the heavy and still curtain in front of her, the shock on Maca's face gradually faded. But just by looking at his tightly furrowed brows, it was clear that the doubts in his heart had not diminished by half a point, so that even Helbo's later ridicule of "you don't have to go anywhere" was temporarily ignored.

"How so?" He thought about it secretly, and couldn't help but say to himself, "The 'wait' that Luna shouted at that time didn't actually feel Helbo's existence, but discovered me now?" How did she notice I was here? ”

At that time, Luna, did she happen to see the slight swing of the curtains, or was it ...... No, with Luna's sensing ability, it was obviously impossible to sense that she had converged on the fluctuations of her magic power.

However, the premise is that Luna has no other way to sense it.

"Remember she said she seemed to be studying psychic magic?"

It's inconceivable, but Maca can't rule it out.

Because according to what he knew about Luna, this pure-minded blonde girl did have a good talent for magic. If you insist on giving her a reason to find herself, it seems that there are only a few possibilities.

"Calm down...... Now is not the time to think about that. This time the task is to observe, and in the following time, there must be no omission. ”

Because at this time, he was unable to distract himself too much because of Helbo's existence, so his memory is actually very vague in many places.

Therefore, in order to save Luna, he must take everything here to heart and try to find a feasible solution as soon as possible.

For Maca, the time after this may be a long time; But for Luna below, time is running out for her!
