For anyone other than Maca and Delphi, the relationship between the two has always been a mystery.

From the very beginning when she brought Delphi to Hogwarts, her friends and professors around her could tell that she always had a sense of closeness to Maca. Although everyone had never seen her before, they could feel as if she had known Maca for a long time.

And it is precisely because of this "illusion that is not an illusion" that Hermione thinks that Delphi and Maca may be the kind of childhood friendship.

Maybe it's also due to some preconceived notions! Unconsciously, even Delphi's magical strength comparable to Maca has indirectly become one of the old evidence that she and Maca have in the eyes of others.

But it was clear that Hermione, who had guessed a little, didn't know anything about Delphi's sudden appearance next to Maca. Not to mention knowing the actual situation, even trying to guess is completely out of the question.

So right now, when Maca was about to take Luna away, but Delphi grabbed his arm, the big guys looked puzzled.

Not to mention, the latter was still begging Maca to "not go" in that slightly trembling voice.

What the hell is this...... What's the same thing? What's wrong with the two of them?

However, even though everyone was unusually confused about this, no one including Hermione asked. Some of them were afraid to ask, like Hermione; And more often than not, they don't even know where to start.

As for Maca at this moment...... Facing Delphi's pitiful eyes, his hands couldn't help but stop.

What to do?

Needless to say, Delphi's concerns are not groundless and unfounded. It is precisely because she has happened, felt, suffered, and even cried secretly that her feelings have become so unbearable.

And obviously, Maca actually knows in her heart that using a time turner to play hide and seek with the rules, no one dares to pack a ticket and say that there is absolutely no risk.

Because of this, every time Delphi questioned or even tried to thwart him from trying to save Luna, Maca never uttered a word that completely denied her.

It's a pity that it is impossible to get Maca to give up Luna.

After a moment's hesitation, Maca pressed her left hand to Delphi's hand that was gripping his arm, and then gently took her hand in the palm of her hand.

"Delphi," he said, looking at his wavering eyes, slowly but unmistakably, "I'll be careful, okay?" ”

Father was gentle, gentle with himself, and gentle with others—Delphi knew that all too well.

I remember that in the midst of the war, no matter how dangerous the battle situation was, even if there was an increasing shortage of manpower, he never canceled the allocation of the rescue team.

And his reason is always just a joking sentence:

"Saving a man means that we will have one more present; Saving a woman means we'll have one more future – so in order to balance the present and the future, we'd better save in pairs! ”

Not to mention the joking tone, how could he possibly give up Miss Lovegood, who was said to be his beloved, even with strangers?

Of course, because of Delphi's respect and admiration for her father, what she is thinking about at the moment is actually somewhat beautified in it. The reason why Maca insisted on rescuing was mainly to replenish manpower and train successors, otherwise, the rebels would have completely collapsed due to the attrition of the battle!

But in Delphi's view, this is a kind and gentle.

Therefore, before going back to this era, Delphi had already made up her mind to hide her identity - her purpose was better not to be seen through by Maca.

The reason why she took the initiative to expose herself earlier was basically because she was forced to be helpless.

According to the original plan she had considered, she should have died with the "core" of the demon summoning ritual a long time ago......

Feeling the warmth of Maca's palm on the back of his hand, Delphi's hand, which was still holding his arm tightly at first, couldn't help but let go of a little.

When Maca noticed it, she simply took her hand, grabbed it in her palm and shook it gently.

"So be it!" He said, "Come with me in a moment...... I have a few words I want to say to you. ”

After saying this, Maca slowly let go of his palm holding Delphi's right hand, turned around and hugged Luna sideways.

Just like when he first reported her to the ward, he didn't use any magic, but picked her up with his own hands.

Just such a detail was enough to make Delphi purse his lips and never say anything more.

And when Maca walked to the door with Luna in her arms and in the silent gaze of everyone, Hermione, who had been standing near the door since just now, hesitated for a moment, and then stood silently to the side.

She didn't dare to look at Luna in Maca's arms, because she knew she would be jealous. And if she really became jealous of Luna...... I'm afraid that even she herself will look down on herself.

On the other side, Delphi, who remained in place after Maca left the hospital bed, was slightly stunned, and then followed out silently.

In this way, there were three fewer people in the ward at once, but everyone did not feel that it was much empty. After all, Delphi had been sitting in the corner all the time, taking up no space, except for Hermione, and Maca had only just returned.

Not only that, but because of the inexplicable atmosphere just now, the friends felt that the ward seemed to be a little more stuffy.

"Hermione," Ron asked cautiously, "about Maca and that Miss Fisher...... Do you know something? ”

"I don't know."

Hermione replied to him almost without thinking, and her tone was rather cold, so that Ron only felt as if a cold wind was blowing and subconsciously shrunk his neck.

And then, when Hermione adjusted her mood slightly, she said weakly:

"Miss Fisher may have been Marca's friend when she was a child, and she was probably still a good friend. I went to talk to her alone for a little while you were sleeping the night before, and learned a little about her and Maca's past. ”

"Before entering Hogwarts?" Halliden wondered, "Uh...... Can you tell us about that too? ”

Harry was clearly not the only one who wanted to know about Maca's past. It's just that because of Hermione's rather unfavorable mood, everyone doesn't dare to ask casually, and only Harry's rough nerve can't help but ask.

Fortunately, Hermione didn't seem to mean to refuse to speak. Harry asked, and she sat down on the floor and casually recounted a few little stories he had heard from Delphi.

In her opinion, there was naturally nothing that could not be said, and even if Maca knew, she would definitely not mind. What's more, most of Naxi's stories have a beginning and no end, and the order is even more disorganized, so it can only be regarded as a casual remark for people to listen to a rough idea.

There was no doubt that Hermione was just trying to distract herself so that she could stop thinking about the things that were messing her up for a while.

However, even if it is just a rough idea, everyone can't help but hear God - the story of such a child under the age of ten who survives alone at the bottom of society is really not generally fascinating, let alone that the child in that story is someone next to them.

For a moment, everyone could hear it, and only Hermione's lazy voice echoed in the ward.

……

Of course, Maca didn't know that after she left, the friends in the ward held a "story meeting", and they talked about the old things of his own first years.

To be honest, the experience of those years was really chaotic, and others sounded thrilling, but he knew that there were many stupid things that even Delphi had probably never heard of.

That kind of thing is obviously not suitable for a little girl as a bedtime story, and most of the future selves will not tell it to her.

Of course, even if he knew that there was a story conference going on in the ward, he wouldn't have time to pay attention to it.

"Let's go upstairs."

After speaking to Delphi, who was following her, Maca led her through the hallway and up the stairs to the lounge area on the top floor of St. Mungo.

As soon as you get here, you can see that although there are not many people here at the moment, there are still a few of them. So as soon as he appeared, several eyes moved to the side of Maca, who was holding Luna.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, ladies, but I'm going to need to use this layer next...... So, could you please leave? ”

Since it was Maca who personally opened his mouth, this St. Mungol probably no one would refuse. Sure enough, several witches and wizards who were sitting here to rest and relax quickly nodded at him and smiled and left one after another.

He could see the confusion and curiosity in the eyes of these wizards, but Maca didn't explain, and everyone didn't bother to ask anything. After everyone had left, Maca gently placed Luna on the couch, then turned her head to look at Delphi's face seriously.

He found that although Delphi was no longer awkward, he was not staring at him with a wavering face like just now. But the emotion in those eyes still made Maca sigh softly.

"Delphi ......"

He looked at the delicate face of the other party, looked at the slightly furrowed eyebrows, as if he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, he gave up some words of explanation or persuasion for the time being, and instead stepped forward and hugged the other party without hesitation.

"I'm sorry." Maca said in a deep voice.
