Magic has been the preserve of the gifted since ancient times.

Even now, the threshold for using magic has been lowered again and again, and among humans, the only people who can cast spells are those who have awakened their natural abilities.

There is no doubt that whether a person's source of magic is awakened or not, and whether the magic in his body is activated, determines "him...... Or whether "she" can get involved with magic.

However, is it inevitable that ordinary people will not be able to set foot in the world of magic?

The answer, of course, is no.

If you delve into the history of magic, you will inevitably find that even in the not-so-distant past, ordinary people still lived with wizards. They shared cities and towns, worked and lived together, and even though the mysteries and dangers of magic were always feared by ordinary people, people also had respect for wizards because of this.

What's more, once upon a time, wizards not only took apprentices to impart knowledge, but also often hired ordinary people as assistants to assist them in their magical research.

Right now, Delphi replaced Hermione, assisting Maca with some of the potion preparation steps that didn't require the use of magic.

It wasn't until Hermione, who had left earlier, called Kingsley, and Maca told him to visit the Muggle Queen again after dinner, that the three of them left the potions room together.

"Time tends to pass quickly when you're concentrating on one thing," Maca shrugged, "of course, while time doesn't actually get faster, we just ignore it." ”

As he spoke, the three of them walked out of the magically lit corridor and saw the sunlight shining through the window again.

Yes, time did pass quietly before you knew it—the brightness had turned to dusk, and it was no longer as dazzling as it was at noon, a sign that night was coming again.

It was because she sensed that it was time for dinner that Maca didn't continue with Delphi anymore, but dropped what she was doing after talking to Kingsley—to be honest, he wanted to continue tinkering with it for a while.

"Oh, Maka! We're just going to call you...... Ah, Delphi is here too? ”

It was Ron who spoke, and when Maca and the others passed by the foyer that connected to the atrium, they happened to see him walk in through the doorway.

It's just that, none of the three of them, including Kingsley, stayed on Ron for long, and soon looked behind him.

For with him came back from the garden, and Willy and Helen and others.

"Maca!"

As soon as Willy saw the three of them, she immediately walked over quickly, still holding a thick notebook in her hand—Maca, of course, remembered that it was the Christmas present he had given to Willy.

"You can take a look at it at dinner in a moment, there are already a lot of plant information on it!"

After saying this, she shoved the note into Maca's hand, and then subconsciously moved her gaze to Delphi's face on the side.

"Well, you're ......"

Willy asked, but Delphi's eyes obviously didn't fall to her, but looked at Helen and Cathy on the other side of the door.

And the child who was being wrapped up in Helen's arms.

"Remember? I mentioned it a while ago - this is my friend with the same name as our little Delphi! ”

After explaining, Maca reached out and gently touched Delphi's arm, and then gestured to little Delphi in Helen's arms.

"You see, as I said, this kid does look a lot like you when you were a kid!"

After Maca's touch, Delphi finally came back to her senses and immediately nodded slightly.

"Uh...... Well, yes. She said a little sluggishly, "It's really too similar to what I looked like in the photo when I was a child, and it scared me!" ”

While the two were talking, Helen and little Cathy approached.

Then, Helen looked at the child in her arms, and then at Delphi beside Maca. I don't know if it's because she saw Delphi staring at the child all the time, she thought about it, and couldn't help but carefully hand out a little bit:

“…… Want to hug her? ”

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Let's not mention the rule of time, because as long as Delphi doesn't go too far, it's unlikely that anything will go wrong just by hugging him who hasn't remembered yet.

Merely...... Seriously, the moment he heard Helen's words, he already foresaw what would become.

Sure enough, Delphi almost subconsciously took her young self into her arms, and then she froze there, her mind blank.

Yes, perhaps in the entire history of mankind, few people have ever picked up their childhood selves like her.

At that moment, an extremely subtle feeling suddenly swept through her whole body like an electric current, and then, she actually felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

Thankfully, Maca didn't let little Delphi stay in her arms for too long, and quickly reached out her hands to take her.

"Alright, don't stand here and talk if you want to chat! Dinner must have been prepared, so let's go over and talk while we eat! ”

With that, he hugged the well-behaved and quiet little Delphi, turned around and walked first in the direction of the restaurant.

"Don't be in a daze...... Well, to be honest, I'd rather you hadn't come. ”

Maca's voice swept past Delphi's ears and was not heard by anyone but her. And Delphi secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but in the slightly puzzled eyes of Helen and little Cathy, she smiled somewhat reluctantly.

Looking at the back of Delphi following Maca away, little Cathy, who was a few steps behind, tilted her head and pulled Helen's sleeve beside her.

"Seems a little weird?"

"Nothing surprising," Helen, a silent person saved by Maca, had apparently decided that she would no longer have any suspicions about this benefactor, even everyone who was recognized by the other party, "you can see that Mr. McLean is defending her—at least that's enough for me." ”

"Oh! Blind trust is very dangerous, and since we can't help Maca, we must at least pay more attention to him within our ability, right? Little Cathy wrinkled her nose and said, "But ...... All right! She doesn't look like some bad guy anyway. ”

Although this is a bit forced, in fact, Cathy's first impression of Delphi is excellent, and even she can't figure out where this affection comes from.

Maybe it's because of this that she can't help but want to doubt it!

"Hmm...... It's a bit like little Delphi, ah......"
