Perhaps, go to Winchester and ask Maka to understand that it is everyone's greatest wish buried in the depths of their hearts. Except for a few people such as Hermione and Luna, no one else has the confidence and reason to ask.

For Harry and his friends, Marca is really a very special existence. Since they entered Hogwarts, they have always been favored by Maka, but none of them has really helped Maka.

Yes, they and Maka are friends, and friends don't seem to pay attention to kindness and return. However, it can't be regarded as the way to get along with friends.

So Harry, they can only work hard silently to grow up, hoping that one day in the future, they can repay Marca's kindness with their own strength... Even among these forces, there is also Marca's indelible shadow.

But Hermione is different. Although she is not much in fact, she did help Marca with her wisdom; Luna is even more different. She even used her body to help Maka block the damage of a sharp blade.

Well... It is worth mentioning that the so-called "blade" is still Harry's Gryffindor sword.

As for those who stay with them now, are there any other partners who have helped Maka... Delphi can definitely count as one. Unfortunately, even if she wanted to see Maka again, she couldn't do it.

"Miss Granger and miss Lovegood?"

When Hermione and Luna flew over the English Channel on a broomstick, Delphi, who was staying at Granger camp, happened to see it.

"Oh," she said softly to herself, standing slightly by the highway on the coast, looking at the two figures gradually disappearing above the sea, "miss Lovegood... Has she finally given up her persistence?"

With such a murmur, she suddenly stopped looking at the two little spots in the air that could hardly be seen clearly, but looked at the open sea from a distance and was stunned:

"Boulevard castle is gone, Hogwarts castle is gone, the whole Britain is completely occupied, and people in the surrounding countries are in danger... Everything seems different, but the results are not much different. Everything seems to be repeating itself in another form..."

"Father, you said that all my memories are made up by you. Indeed, they are different from reality; however, you also said that you would make the future in my memory never come true - should I believe this promise?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help gently stroking her chest... There was a time converter engraved with her name that Maka handed to her before leaving the island.

"Dad, you must come back, or I'll use it - I mean it, I'm not scaring you! Even if it will kill me, I'll use it, because you gave me my life."

Delphi stood quietly on the beach. After a long time, she put down her left hand on her chest and went back to Granger camp step by step with the same staff given to her by Maka.

She knows very well that with her current ability, she can only do this. Moreover, she has to keep her life for Marca and her father.

Because she is both "future" and "past".

……

Move the time back... But in fact, more than ten minutes after Delphi witnessed Hermione and Luna rush to Weymouth side by side, they both came to the other side of the Strait and met Ginny who was going to Belgium to find them at Weymouth camp.

"Hermione... Luna?"

After following Ginny back to the tent, a series of confused eyes greeted the two women.

"The plan to go to Birmingham is postponed temporarily," Hermione, who has made up her mind after Luna's persuasion, immediately said decisively, "we'll go to Winchester to find Maka!"

As I said earlier, this sentence may be what everyone is silently looking forward to. So when Hermione said it, they simply put the loopholes just discussed about the plan to go to Birmingham behind them and showed great enthusiasm for the mention.

There was no doubt that even though Marca had driven them back without saying a word not long ago, Harry and they didn't complain much. In contrast, they prefer to go to Maka and make it clear.

They are all Dumbledore's students. It can be said that everyone has the courage to eradicate evil and bring hope and peace to the world.

Didn't Marca say that? Recklessness is sometimes not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he forgot, but Harry and they kept almost every word of him in their hearts!

"Of course, we still have to understand that we went to Winchester this time to find Marca, not to fight the corpse or even halbo! Remember to protect yourself and don't have an accident..." Hermione pointed to Harry and reminded him in particular, "especially Harry, do you understand?"

"... do you understand?"

Luna, who was on the other side, stuck her waist, stretched out her index finger and pointed to the tip of Harry's nose.

"OK, OK, I see." Harry reluctantly raised his hand to them and surrendered, "but Hermione, you remember, if anyone's life is really in danger, I can't care about it!"

Hearing the speech, Hermione had to squint at him, then waved her hand and said:

"I don't need to say anything else. After all, you've all been to Winchester. Moreover, the danger on the road should be much less than last time because of the elimination of those black flame wizards... Let's prepare ourselves!"

As soon as they finished, everyone got up and packed up. Even Ron, who had been lying in the corner, hurriedly got up and counted his belongings.

The tent suddenly became busy, as if the scene of everyone sitting and chatting had never happened.

Hermione knew that the trip to Winchester would not be mentioned for the time being. As long as she got there, she should not come back soon.

Yes, even if Marca drives people herself, she won't leave.

Considering that Winchester and London are not far away and can already be regarded as the hinterland of the enemy, there is no need to say more about the degree of danger there.

Obviously, it's not just the danger along the way. When we get there, everything has just begun!

"Hermione, I brought three bottles of butter beer. I'll drink it with Marca then!"

Luna said coldly.
