"... Miss Fisher..."

Delphi's "Dad" was so quiet that only Maka on the hospital bed heard it. But then the noise she made when she suddenly stood up woke Hermione lying on the edge of the bed.

"What happened?"

Hermione looked at the corner where Delphi was by a little starlight between the curtains. It can be seen that the former is standing in place with his eyes slightly stunned at the moment, and then gently shook his head a moment later.

"Nothing, just a nightmare."

Although I don't know if Delphi is really just having a nightmare, Maka was really shocked by the sound of "Dad" - there was an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, as if the whole plan had been too smooth so far. He thought he had been found when he woke up!

You know, even if he immediately gathers up his newly active magic after waking up, there will be a moment of magic fluctuation after all.

Fortunately, it seems to be just a misunderstanding. Delphi may really just dream about something.

"Miss Fisher..." as Marca was thinking secretly with her eyes closed, she heard Hermione say, "since it's a nightmare, I think we can't sleep for a while? I think we might as well go out for a walk and find a place to say a word, don't you think?"

In fact, these two girls belong to different ages. Unexpectedly, they went out to talk alone while he was away?

Before long, when she heard that the two girls left the ward one by one, Maka, who was still pretending to be Luna, opened her eyes.

That night, everyone did seem to be asleep - after all, even an iron body can hardly stay awake for several days without taking refreshing medicine.

Many times of insomnia, fatigue accumulated again and again, and finally let everyone fall into sleep one by one.

However, in order to ensure that everyone would not wake up halfway, Maka secretly shook her fingers twice, immersing the remaining partners in the ward into deeper sleep.

Yes, Delphi is not in this room now, and he should not be in San Mungo at this time. As long as you pay attention and don't make any big noise, at least casting one or two spells won't be easily found.

After waiting for everyone to fall asleep, Maka lifted the quilt, rolled out of bed, quietly walked to the door, opened the door and looked out.

Then he found that Hermione and Delphi were going to the bathroom!

"According to the law that girls usually like to make an appointment to go to the bathroom..." thinking of this, Maka immediately shook her head, "no, it's just a prejudice."

Having said that, he immediately hid his body shape, and then bound the magic wave to rush to the women's bathroom.

Fortunately, although Hermione and they left earlier than him, they didn't go fast. In the twinkling of an eye, he rushed into the bathroom first, and then turned over into the innermost compartment without saying a word.

"Well..."

Maka fumbled a little and found that Luna covered by the invisibility cloak was still here. He was finally relieved.

But at the same time, footsteps came into the bathroom door soon.

"It's too late. Let's hide here first."

Just thinking, there was a sudden sound of closing the door outside the compartment, and the door of the bathroom was brought up.

"Miss Granger, excuse me... What did you come to me to say?"

Judging from Delphi's attitude at this time, although her tone and wording are very polite, she probably doesn't want to say anything to Hermione.

After all, he can't tell people a lot of things hidden in his heart.

But

"Miss Fischer, why don't you just call me by my name as before? Don't you and Luna, me... And everyone become 'good friends'?"

Yes, "Luna"... The name has a very special position in the hearts of the three present, including Maka, who is hiding in the dark.

For example, Maka, like Hermione, feels guilty about Luna. In order not to let the other party encounter danger, he has not handled some feelings between himself and her well in recent years, and even deliberately kept a certain distance for several periods.

In Hermione's heart, Luna used her life to protect her this time. Otherwise, she might have fallen into the hands of the despicable halbo.

As for Delphi... She can really be cruel for her father, but it doesn't prevent her from feeling sorry for it. It is not easy to take a person's life, even if her hands have been stained with a lot of blood in a future.

"I'm sorry," Dale Felton said with a slight sip. "Hermione... I just saw you so serious, so I subconsciously used a more formal name."

After that, Hermione tried Delphi back and forth quite seriously for a while, and then she finally turned around and got to the point.

"I think," she said, "you should have known Maka a long time ago. Can you tell me something about his past?"

"My 'past'?"

To tell you the truth, Marca didn't expect Hermione to ask Delphi about this. After hearing that Delphi didn't refuse, he gradually told the old stories before he entered Hogwarts.

Just a little thought, Maka immediately guessed where the past events that Delphi knew came from - it must have been selectively told to the daughter after he really became Delphi's "father" in the future.

And he could tell that the "stories" Delphi said were not coherent at all, and most of them had a beginning and no end.

Maka in the compartment listened. While she knew it well, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

His "cheap parents", a desperate gambler and a money loving mistress, this kind of shit is not appropriate to his young "daughter"?

But in the middle of hearing it, he suddenly frowned and looked aside, but he found that a milky figure suddenly appeared in the wall next to him and slowly approached him.

“?”

Maka looked around. It's really a ghost. That's right.

"Shh -"

He immediately put his index finger in front of his mouth and made individual noises at each other.

The ghost looked up and down at him curiously. Then he stared, as if he recognized Maka's identity.

Oh, no, to be exact, I should have recognized the identity of Luna masquerading as Maka.

In fact, Luna has become quite famous in San Mungo recently. On that day, after Haier Bo made a scene outside the door, many people saw Maka rushing upstairs with her in her arms.

Just... Has the little blonde witch recovered? Didn't you hear that she was seriously injured?

For a moment, Maka and the ghost Mr. who came out of the wall stared at each other for a long time. During this period, Maka tried to stun him with a magic spell several times. She was just worried that Delphi outside might notice, so she never really did it.

Unconsciously, Delphi outside has been talking about several old things without follow-up, and Marca's attention has returned to her chat with Hermione over time.

After more than ten minutes, their gossip about Marca finally came to an end, and Delphi gradually led the topic to the matter of encouraging Hermione to find Marca.

I heard her seriously saying:

"Hermione, according to what you just said, are you... Ready to give up completely and follow Mr. McLean's steps? But in that case, what's the matter with your hesitation and anxiety these two days?"

After such a semi severe and semi gentle question, Delphi went on:

"I still can't put it down in the end... Isn't it?"

Facing Delphi's words, Hermione hesitated for a moment before stubbornly answering:

"No."

Her "no" seemed to be mixed with a little stiffness. Obviously, she didn't really think so. Marca could easily hear this through the door, even if she didn't look at her expression.

"So... Did Delphi tell Hermione that?"

In this regard, Maka doesn't know what expression to use to listen to - his feelings for Delphi have always been very complex. This girl really can't be generalized with general rational concepts. She is a paranoid girl who needs to be treated differently.

Especially when it comes to things related to his "father", Delphi often becomes more extreme... Maybe the "past" of her father's leaving without saying goodbye has a great impact on her.

"I understand what you said, but... Let me think about it again."

After a conversation and repeated hesitation, Hermione still didn't express any views on the spot. She is neither completely positive nor completely negative. It seems that she has been haunted by these problems.

After saying the last "consider", Maka heard the bathroom door open again, and then a series of footsteps went away.

Hermione should have left first.

Immediately, there was only Delphi left in the dark and deserted bathroom.

With a slight sigh, she suddenly said:

"Hello... Excuse me, haven't you heard enough? I don't think it's a good habit to hide in the dark and eavesdrop on other people's conversations!"

Delphi's words stunned Maka, but soon he thought that there seemed to be a "person" nearby!
