Wells Town, off the coast of Norfolk.
For many people, this must be a slightly strange place. But for Maka, this is familiar.
But to tell the truth, because of his busy days, he doesn't come here many times.
"Dudu --
Maka stopped at the door of a house, gently paused, shook the snow stains on the soles of her shoes, and then raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, with the sound of footsteps in the room, the door was gently opened from the inside.
"Oh, Marca?"
What came out was a young woman. She seemed to be a little fatter than last year, especially her face, which was a lot rounder.
Marca remembers that she was in good shape at that time. As a result, her married life for a whole year really changed her.
But at least now it's obviously more like a mother.
"Come on, please come in! You haven't come for two months. Our family miss you..."
Looking at the other party's extremely natural greeting to herself, although Maka knew that it was all the effects he made with magic, she still felt a little.
Sure enough, when someone really treats you as their relatives, this enthusiasm will easily make people feel warm.
"Well, I'm a little busy at work," he said with a cooperative shrug and a smile. "But your family miss me? Does it also include little Delphi?"
Yes, as Maka mentioned, this is the Muggle family hosted by Delphi Riedel, the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix.
After capturing Bellatrix who escaped from prison, Maka did not disclose the existence of little Delphi, but let her continue to stay in the Muggle's home.
In order for her to grow up as an ordinary Muggle girl, Maka also cast a curse on the young couple who had not yet given birth to children, asking them to regard little Delphi as their real children.
Of course, Maka didn't stop the couple from having children... Maybe it's a good thing for little Delphi to have several brothers and sisters, isn't it?
Following the hostess Mrs. fisher to the living room, Marca sat down under the warm hospitality of the other party. Soon, Marca asked about little Delphi.
I remember that it won't be long before Delphi will stay here for almost a year.
Marca was not sure what date she was born, because Bellatrix didn't say at that time. But if you make a rough calculation, it is likely to be in these days.
So today, he actually came by to send a birthday wish to little Delphi.
"She's very good, really good! I used to hear my mother say that most of the children are very active, and they cry when they're not careful... But you know, our little baby seldom cries and looks very quiet. Seriously, it makes us a lot easier..."
Listening to her happy, Maka didn't immediately interrupt her. She smiled and nodded while drinking hot tea.
After a while, he put down his tea cup and said as if with a sigh:
"How time flies! In a twinkling of an eye, little Delphi will be one year old."
Mrs. Fisher was stunned when she saw Maka's sudden remark.
"One year old?" she said in surprise. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
"No, I'm a year old."
Maka suddenly raised her head and repeated it. She didn't see what he did. She just stared at each other's eyes and looked quietly.
And his increasingly deep eyes naturally made the other party's eyes trance.
The couple's memories of their children began when Delphi was brought home from childhood, so it is obvious that there will be some deviations.
In a few seconds——
"Oh, yes... It's one year old," said Mrs. Fisher in a daze.
Seeing this, Maka took back her eyes and stood up with the beggar.
"Take me to see her! I brought her a little birthday present."
Until then, Fisher could recover. But when she heard Maka say this, she immediately became enthusiastic again, hurried to Maka's front in a few steps, and happily brought him the way.
Now, she is a real mother, and most mothers in the world may also have a heart to show off their children.
With Mrs. Fisher came to the bedroom on the second floor. Along the way, she was still talking about little Delphi. Just up the stairs, Maka learned more from her.
Peter said that their little Delphi could climb now; For another example, their little Delphi can already call her parents.
These are essential steps in children's growth and often become the pride of parents.
However, Mrs. Fisher's excitement decreased slightly when she came to the bedroom door.
"... but what worries me a little is that although the child is quiet, sometimes she is too quiet. If I can, I'd rather she be more noisy and active."
"Maybe with her father!"
As Mrs. Fisher opened the door, Marca muttered in her heart.
Of course, from Maka's previous contacts with little Delphi, it can be said that the child can cry and laugh, which is quite normal.
"Oh! Come on in! She's awake!"
In fact, she doesn't have to say hello, because Marca has come in.
He saw the crib at a glance. A circle of railings surrounded little Delphi to prevent her from sneaking out and hurting herself.
But, seriously, Marca doesn't think these high railings mean anything to little Delphi. Because as soon as you see her, you will find that she is just sitting in the middle alone, playing with a small doll, and seems not to be curious about the world outside the railing.
I haven't seen little Delphi in just two months, but I don't know she has become so big... Marca can't help but sigh that the child's growth rate is fast.
Perhaps her mother's appearance finally caught her attention, and she saw little Delphi look up at Mrs. Fisher, a pair of gem like eyes shining.
"Dear -"
Mrs. Fisher leaned over the railing of the crib and gave her a spoiled cry, but she just twisted her mouth and shifted her eyes to one side.
Seeing this, Mrs. Fisher couldn't help laughing a little embarrassed.
"Oh, ha ha... I have to say, she sometimes does. If she is in good mood, she is still willing to be close to us!"
"Well, I think so, too."
Marca readily agreed, but instead of bending down and leaning up like her, she directly reached out and picked up little Delphi, regardless of whether others were happy or not.
At first, little Delphi seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and pulled it with her little pink and jade hand. But when her eyes were aligned with Marca's, she immediately became incredibly quiet.
Well, in fact, Maka didn't do anything... It can only be said that most wizards who have studied spiritual magic may be good at coaxing children!
At this moment, the only thing in Marca's eyes was the relaxed gentleness, which made the resistance in little Delphi disappear at once.
"I heard you can call people?" Maka suddenly smiled. "Then remember, my name is' Maka '... Well, even Hagrid's brother can call after only learning it fifteen times. Look! It's not difficult at all. Call and see?"
Of course, little Delphi didn't understand Maka, but it didn't prevent her from becoming familiar with Maka.
At this age, he can already form a certain impression on others, and little Delphi seems to be very interested in Maka, a guy who seems strange and seems to have seen before.
"Ah --"
Listening to her cry, she reached out and patted Marca on the face, as if to say hello.
Maka pushed her hand away with a smile, then pointed to her nose and said, "Ma - Ka -"
Maybe little Delphi thought that Marca was asking her to shoot there, so he waved his small arm again and gave him a hard blow to his nose.
"Oh! You little girl... Did your father send me for revenge?"
Maca rubbed and make complaints about some sour nose.
If you have to say, it's not important whether little Delphi will call his name. He's just on a whim.
After he teased little Delphi for a while, Maka suddenly smiled and said:
"Little girl, look... I'll do a magic trick for you."
But I saw him free a hand, shake it in front of little Delphi, and then gently brush it on his delicate wrist.
At the next moment, a slight coolness made little Delphi raise her hand, and she immediately found a thin silver chain on her wrist.
"I took a silver necklace from your neck and now I'll replace it with a silver bracelet. Although it's small, it's much more valuable than your original one..."
The "Silver Necklace" he said naturally came from little Delphi's real parents, and it also solidified a defensive magic to protect children.
Unfortunately, the spell belongs to black magic. Maka took it off and took it away.
Now this bracelet is a gadget made by Maka herself. In addition to the original protective magic, he added something else.
For example, if little Delphi's magic goes wild in the future, he will know for the first time that he is a "distant cousin".
Although magic rampage generally will not cause major events, especially will not hurt myself, it is not absolutely safe.
After a while, little Delphi seemed tired of playing, and suddenly opened his small mouth and yawned.
"Sleepy? HMM... then go to sleep..."
