The pain in Delphi's heart is really beyond ordinary people's understanding. At least for now, even Maka, who is holding her, is far from fully understanding her feelings.
There is no doubt that although Delphi has not said all about it before, the experiences she told Marca are all true.
She had tasted too much suffering and gradually grew up in the war environment, even if it was a narrow life.
This girl, it's really not easy.
"Dad... You know what? Although you are not the future father, there is really no difference between you now and you in the future. When I came to this era and saw you for the first time, I was startled -"
"Really, apart from looking much younger, your words, deeds and every move have not changed much in the past ten years or so. You are still so gentle and powerful. Even if I have experienced so many trials and never slackened day and night, I still can't catch up with you more than ten years ago."
"Dad, don't worry... Although I did hate you because of sister Cathy's death. But after that, in the years when you took me around, protecting me, teaching me magic and fighting with Haier Bo's men, I have deeply understood your difficulty. Maybe you don't know now, but we have already made up..."
"And Tom Riddle, although he is my biological father, I don't want him at all. In my memory, only the days when I lived happily with everyone in brova castle, and when you accompanied me carefully and seriously became a good father."
"Dad, i... I have too much to say to you, really..."
Listening to the girl in her arms talking in a low voice, the more she said it, the lighter her voice became. Finally, she went to sleep in his arms. Seeing this, Maka couldn't help sighing gently.
It's hard for a person to imagine how tight he has to relax before he can just stand and fall asleep. But at least he knew that Delphi was really tired - and much more tired than him.
To be honest, Marca has a lot of questions to ask! But now looking at the situation, he thinks it's better to forget it for the time being!
The next moment, Maka turned slightly and carried Delphi on her back. After hesitation, she chose to go to Diagon lane.
Because he remembered that Delphi didn't seem to want to go to San Mungo... I don't know why?
……
"Marca?"
Just near the door of the Leaky Cauldron bar, Marca first ran into Harry and Neville. They were standing on both sides of the bar gate, one left and the other right. They looked like stone lions in front of shops in Chinatown.
"You're here..." Maka jumped down from the magic book and looked at the blood stains on the two people. "How's it going? Is nothing wrong?"
"Oh, no," Harry said immediately. "Sirius and their counterattack had been successfully completed before we got here. Now they are looking out from here as the center. If anything happens, the two of us will help."
"Yes," followed Neville, "but for now we are responsible for guarding the goal."
"Is that right?" Maka nodded. "Very good. Defending Diagon Alley is a very important task, and it looks very suitable for you... Continue to refuel and pay attention to safety!"
After that, he was trying to walk into the door as if nothing had happened, but Harry couldn't help but look hesitant and say:
"Marca, the beautiful girl behind you... Who is she?"
"You've seen her - it's just that she always wears a windbreaker and a hat, so you can't recognize it. Well, don't worry, she's just too tired and asleep."
As Maka spoke, she kept walking under her feet. As soon as the voice fell, the man left. Harry and Neville looked at the closed bar door outside the door and couldn't help looking at each other for a few seconds.
"How beautiful!"
"Harry, are you really good? Be careful I tell Ginny."
"Don't you keep staring! Be careful I tell Hannah!"
"Well... Tell Hannah, just don't tell Hermione... Oh, or should we remind Hermione and Luna later?"
"I want you to go! I haven't lived enough..."
Listening to the conversation outside the door behind her, Maka could only shake her head reluctantly. Then she said hello to lupin who stayed in the broken cauldron bar.
"I'll go up first. I'll wait until I come down later."
Lupin was not the only one in the bar. Everyone watched Maka go upstairs with Delphi on her back. Suddenly, they secretly discussed with each other - where did Maka bring back such a great beauty when everything was in a mess?
However, doubts are doubts. At present, everyone still has a lot to do. Even if it is gossip, it will have to wait until we find a way to get through the disaster.
Upstairs, Maka can naturally hear the discussion downstairs. She knows that there may be some guys who are out of tune who are already thinking about dirty things. But he couldn't go down and be strangled, so he had to let it go.
After all, even if you tell them that Delphi is your own "daughter", few people can believe it, can you?
After going upstairs to the corridor, Maka casually chose a room on the inner side, gently put Delphi, who was still sleeping, on the bed and covered the quilt.
After he settled Delphi and left several protective magic on the door, he came down the stairs again.
"Would you like a bottle of butter beer? I'll give you free for old Tom!"
Hearing what lupin said behind the bar, Maka immediately waved her hand and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not thirsty now and I'm not in the mood... Tell me directly! Did you get anything from the previous counterattack and subsequent search? Or, is there anything worth noting?"
"Harry and Neville, their strength is not worthy of attention?" lupin smelled and put down the bottle. "You may not know that their two children came here. They not only saved many people, but even cooperated with each other to kill a black eyed guy!"
"Oh?"
Maka was surprised when she heard this.
Not to mention that he has personally dealt with the collectors, just seeing that Haier Bo has made it one by one with great effort, we can know that the strength of those guys can not be underestimated.
"Well, I have to remember to boast about them later!"
