The Norfolk coast, the small town of Wells.

For many people, this must be a slightly unfamiliar place. But for Maca, it's familiar.

But to be honest, due to his busy schedule, he doesn't come here many times.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Maca stopped in front of a house and paused to shake off the snow stains on the soles of her shoes before she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

A short time later, with the sound of footsteps in the house, the door was gently opened from the inside.

"Oh, Maca?"

It was a young woman who came out, and she seemed to be a little fatter than last year, especially her face, which was a lot more rounded.

Maca still remembers that she was in quite good shape at the time, but her married life for a whole year really changed her.

But it's okay, at least now it's noticeably more like a mother.

"Come, please come in! You haven't been here for two months, and our family misses you......"

Seeing that the other party greeted him very naturally, although Maca knew that this was all an effect created by him with magic, she still felt a little slightly.

Sure enough, when someone truly treats you as their relative, it's easy to feel warm about that enthusiasm.

"Well, I'm a bit busy at work," he said with a cooperative shrug and a smile, "but you all miss me as a family?" Does little Delphi also be included? ”

That's right, as Maca mentions, this is the Muggle family that Voldemort and Bellatrix's daughter, Delphi Riddle, hosts.

After arresting Bellatrix, who had escaped from prison, Maca did not reveal the existence of little Delphi, but let her stay in the Muggle home.

In order to grow her up as a normal Muggle girl, Maca also cast a spell on the young couple, who had not yet given birth, to see little Delphi as their real child.

Of course, Maca didn't stop the couple from having another child...... Perhaps, it would be nice for little Delphi to have a few younger siblings, isn't it?

Following the hostess, Madame Fisher, to the drawing-room, Maca sat down with the hospitality. Soon, Maca asks about little Delphi's condition.

Remember that it will not be long before Delphi will be here for almost a year.

Maca wasn't quite sure what month and day she was born, as Bellatrix didn't say anything at the time. But if you roughly calculate it, it's actually very likely to be in these days.

So today, he actually stopped by to send a birthday greeting to little Delphi.

"She's nice, really nice! I used to hear my mom say that most of the children are very active and cry when they are not paying attention...... But you know, our little baby has never cried and seems to be quiet. Seriously, it's a lot easier for us and our family......"

Hearing that she was happy, Maca didn't immediately interrupt her, smiling and nodding as she drank hot tea.

After a while, he put down the teacup and said as if sighing:

"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, little Delphi is already a year old. ”

Seeing that Maca suddenly said this, Mrs. Fisher was stunned for a moment.

"A year old?" She was amazed, "No, no, no, Maca! You're mistaken, it's not a year old—"

"No, it's a year old."

Maka suddenly raised her head and repeated, but she didn't see him make any movements, just stared into the other's eyes and watched quietly.

And his increasingly deep eyes naturally made the other party's eyes go into a trance.

The couple's memories of the child began when little Delphi was brought home, and it was obvious that there would be some deviations.

A few seconds later –

"Oh, yes...... It's one year old. Mrs. Fisher said in a daze.

Seeing this, Maca withdrew her gaze again, and then stood up with the beggar in her arms.

"Take me to see her! I brought her a little birthday present. ”

It was only then that Mrs. Fischer came to her senses. But when she heard Maca say this, she immediately became enthusiastic again, hurried a few steps in front of Maca, and happily led the way for him.

Now, she is a real mother, and most mothers in this world may also have a heart to show off their children.

He followed Mrs. Fisher to the second-floor bedroom, where she continued to talk about little Delphi. Just up the stairs, Maca learned more from her.

Than say, their little Delphi can climb now; For example, their little Delphi can already call Mom and Dad.

These are all essential steps in a child's development and often become a source of pride in the hearts of parents.

At the door of her bedroom, however, Mrs. Fisher's excitement had diminished slightly.

“…… But what worries me a little is that although this child is quiet, sometimes it is too quiet. I'd rather she be a little more boisterous and active if I could. ”

"Maybe it's with her dad!"

As Mrs. Fisher opened the door, Maca muttered to herself.

Of course, judging from Maca's previous contact with little Delphi, it can be said that this child can cry and laugh, which can be said to be quite normal.

"Oh! Come on in! She's awake! ”

Actually, she didn't need to greet her, because Maca had already come in.

He saw the crib at a glance, surrounded by a railing that surrounded little Delphi to prevent her from sneaking out and hurting herself.

It's just that, seriously, Maca doesn't think these tall railings mean anything to little Delphi. Because as soon as you see her, you will find that she is just sitting alone in the middle, playing with a little rag doll, and she does not seem to have the slightest curiosity about the world beyond the railing.

I haven't seen little Delphi for just two months, but I don't know how big she has become...... Maca couldn't help but sigh that the child's growth rate is fast.

It was probably the presence of her mother that finally caught her attention, and she saw little Delphi raise her head and glance at Mrs. Fisher, her jewel-like eyes sparkling.

"Honey—"

Mrs. Fisher leaned on the railing of the crib and leaned over her to call out to her, but she only twisted her lips and looked away.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fisher couldn't help but laugh a little embarrassed.

"Oh, haha...... I have to say, she sometimes does. If she's in a good mood, she's still willing to get close to us! ”

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Maca casually agreed, but did not bend down like her, but directly reached out and hugged little Delphi, but did not care whether others liked it or not.

At first, little Delphi seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and pulled a few times with her little pink hand. But when her eyes met Maka's eyes, she immediately fell incredibly silent.

Well, actually, Maca didn't do anything...... It can only be said that most wizards who have studied mind magic may be a good hand at coaxing children!

At this moment, there was only that kind of relaxing gentleness in Maca's eyes, which made the resistance in little Delphi's heart disappear at once.

"I heard you could call someone?" Maca suddenly laughed, "Then you remember, my name is 'Maca'...... Well, even Hagrid's brother only learned it fifteen times before screaming, you see! It's not difficult at all, but it's called to see? ”

Little Delphi didn't understand Maca's words, but that didn't stop her from slowly becoming familiar with Maca.

At such an age, he can already form a certain impression of others, and little Delphi seems to be very interested in Maca, a stranger and a guy who has seen before.

"Ahh

Listening to her milky scream, she reached out and patted Maca's face as if to say hello.

Maca smiled and brushed her hand away, then pointed to her nose and said, "Ma-ka-"

Perhaps little Delphi thought that Maca was asking her to shoot there, so she very obediently waved her little arm again and gave him a hard nose.

"Oh! You little girl...... Was your father sent me to take revenge? ”

Maca rubbed her slightly sour nose and complained helplessly.

If I have to say it, in fact, it doesn't matter if little Delphi will call him by his name, he is just a whim.

After he held little Delphi for a while, Maca suddenly smiled and said:

"Little girl, look at ...... I'll do a magic trick for you. ”

But he saw that he had a free hand, shook it in front of little Delphi, and then gently brushed it on his delicate wrist.

And in the next moment, a slight coolness made little Delphi raise her hand, and she suddenly noticed that she had a slender silver chain on her wrist.

"I took a silver necklace from your neck, and now I'm going to give you a silver bracelet. Don't look at it small, it's worth a lot more than your original one......"

The "silver necklace" he was talking about was naturally from the hands of little Delphi's real parents, and it also contained a defensive magic to protect the child.

It's a pity that the spell belongs to black magic, and Maca took it off for her at that time.

And now this bracelet is a gadget made by Maca herself. In addition to the original protective magic, he also added a few other ingredients.

For example, if little Delphi has a magic storm in the future, he will be the first to know when he is a "distant cousin".

Although the magic rampage generally does not cause serious accidents, especially if it does not hurt the person, it is naturally not absolutely safe.

After a while, little Delphi seemed to be tired of playing, and suddenly opened her little mouth and yawned widely.

"Sleepy? Well...... Then go to sleep......
