The so-called "long time ago" in Hermione's mouth naturally refers to before Maka entered Hogwarts. Needless to say, she regarded Delphi as Maka's childhood friend.

But think about it, how many people in this world can realize the true origin of Delphi?

"Mr. Maclean's 'past'...?" Delphi looked at Hermione, who was not looking at herself, but was still looking at the mirror, and said softly, "Well, there is nothing wrong with his past.

What I’m telling you is, I’m afraid I don’t know much more than you do…”

Nowadays, let alone Maka's past, even the future things that Delphi is familiar with will undergo huge changes.

After all, she originally came here to reverse the "history" she knew.

However, when it comes to the past events before Maka received the Hogwarts admission notice, Delphi really knows some things. She still remembers that when she was a child and followed Maka around, the other party once recalled

, while telling her many old things as bedtime stories.

So now, after Delphi paused for a moment, he turned around and leaned gently against the clean wall next to the sink.

The next moment, her soft but melodious words gradually echoed in the bathroom with only two people. Just like how she hugged her father one night in some ruins.

, with a clearly discernible gentleness.

"I remember that when Mr. MacLean was nine years old, his mother passed away..."

In fact, Maka has never admitted that his childhood was miserable, including in his past life, and of course in this life. Although his life was indeed not good at the beginning, there are many people in the world who are more miserable than him, and it will be his turn no matter what.

Don't blame him for it.

But it must be said that, at least in this life, his childhood was not a happy one.

Today, many people have heard that he comes from a Muggle family.

But probably only a few people like Dumbledore would know that his father was a promiscuous gambler who lost his life, and his mother was once abandoned by a maritime merchant.

old mistress.

When he opened his eyes for the first time in his life in that dark and cramped old house, what he saw as a baby was a drunken gambler father and a seductive mother covered in makeup standing on both sides of the small bed.

Scenes of mutual abuse.

To be honest, Maka was not too dissatisfied with those scenes. After all, being able to live again was considered a gift from God.

But when the spittle from the couple's squirting fell on his face like rain, he still cursed to himself and closed his big bright eyes again.

Yes, not to mention the biggest secret of his second life, even in a childhood family like this, Maka would definitely not tell Delphi who was still a little girl casually. Even if he didn't care about himself very much.

She was born into a poor family, but she was also afraid that the bad deeds of her parents would lead to the still innocent little Delphi!

Therefore, the story that the future Maka told Delphi started after his mother passed away when he was nine years old.

"At that time, Mr. McLean spent all the money he took out from home to buy a cemetery and a tombstone for his mother. After a funeral without a priest and no guests, he bought the very small building in his house.

His shabby house was sold to others, and then he blended in with the crowd on the pier and boarded the ferry bound for Torpoint."

When he said this, Delphi couldn't help but chuckle slightly in ecstasy.

"I also accused him at that time, saying that it was a bad behavior for him to take the boat without paying... But guess what he answered me? He actually told me that children as young as him should have been free of charge.

Get on board!"

Hermione listening to the side couldn't help but feel a little funny. But when she thought that Maka had left home alone when she was nine years old, and even skipped the ticket to board the ship in order to save money for a ferry ticket, she quickly stopped laughing.

.

"Miss Fisher...were you also with Maka at that time?"

…

When Hermione was listening to Delphi telling Maca's past, and mistakenly thought that the two might have experienced childhood hardships together, she would not have thought that Maca had already turned him around again before she and Delphi left the ward.

time converter.

It's just that the time point chosen by Maka for the second time to look back has already exceeded the tentative safety limit of five hours. Of course, this safety limit was not set by him.

When the ticking sound like a second hand sounded in his ears again, the world in front of Maka's eyes turned from slightly blurry to clear again. And in his sight, the Muggle street in front of St. Mungo's was already more

A large number of witches and wizards were approaching from a distance.

From here, you can see that the old wizard walking in the front is Mr. Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

"No problem, it's almost time."

Maka stood in this deserted room, quietly looking at the group of wizards through the window, and nodded silently.

He remembered clearly that it was on this early morning not long ago that Ajinbad led the supporters of the federation to St. Mungo's.

And just over ten minutes later, he took Hermione, Luna and others out of the hospital, planning to lead the remaining half of the supporters to the Diagon Alley defense line.

But who would have thought that before he could lead everyone out of here, Haierbo came over first.

At this moment, seeing the group of supporters getting closer and closer, Maka immediately waved his hand and closed the curtains on both sides of the window. Because he knew that he might be able to easily avoid Ajinbad just by restraining his magic power fluctuations.

Although he may be aware of it, he may not be discovered by himself who comes out later, or by the despicable Hai Erbo.

In order to prevent mistakes, he simply covered the windows... Anyway, he knew exactly what was about to happen outside, and there was no need to look further.

What's more, even though the time of looking back was a little longer this time, he still didn't intend to do anything. Because this time, he was just here to be a calm bystander.

"Okay, now according to the previously planned plan, half of the people will follow me in, and the remaining half will stay on the street to defend and standby!"

After a while, Maka, who was sitting on the sofa by the window, heard voices outside the window. He knew that Akinbad would lead people into St. Mungo's next.

Sure enough, after only ten minutes at most, his own voice came from outside.

"You will follow me next, and we will go to the Diagon Alley defense line to provide reinforcements... Although I feel that I may not be qualified yet, I still want to represent the many wizards and Muggles in London to thank you all for this time

Another helping hand..."

"...Well, that's it! We don't have much time, let's set off now!"

These words are naturally addressed to those supporters.

And to be honest, if it weren't for Ajinbad, if it weren't for these Federation supporters who risked dying at any time to come to help, the situation in London would definitely be ten times worse than before Maca came back.

So it must be said that when Maka thanked them, she did so sincerely.

"Next... it should be the time when Luna and I discover Haierbo, right?"

Thinking that Luna was still alive at this time, Maka felt a tremor in her heart. Today, Maka has begun to experience firsthand what kind of mood her "future self" had.

"Luna is still alive."

Suddenly, Maka couldn't help herself and quietly moved the curtains.

"Wait, Maka!"

He never expected that as soon as he opened the corner of the curtain, he found that his eyes would directly hit the pair of silver-gray eyes downstairs.

Maka, who was shocked at that time, quickly retracted his left hand that slightly opened the curtains, and then stood stunned for two seconds. It wasn't until he heard his own voice from outside that he came back to his senses.

Come.

"Hermione, take people back! Go back immediately... quickly!"

Looking at the heavy and still curtain in front of him, the shock on Maka's face gradually faded away. But just looking at his tightly furrowed brows, it was obvious that the doubts in his heart had not diminished by half, so that even after that, Haierbo said

The joke "You don't have to go anywhere" was temporarily ignored.

"How could it be?" He thought secretly and couldn't help but murmur to himself, "The words 'Wait a minute' that Luna yelled at that time were not actually sensing the existence of Haierbo, but discovering who I am now? She

How did you realize I was here?"

At that time, Luna happened to see the slight swing of the curtains, or... no, with Luna's sensing ability, it was obviously impossible to feel herself who had restrained the fluctuations of magic power.

However, the premise is that Luna has no other sensing methods.

"Remember she said that she seems to be studying psychic magic?"

Although it is quite incredible, Maka cannot rule out this possibility.

Because according to his understanding of Luna, this pure-minded blond girl does have a good magical talent. If he insists on giving her a reason to discover him, there seem to be only a few possibilities.

.

"Calm down... now is not the time to think about these things. The mission this time is to observe. In the next time, there must be no omissions."

Since at this time, he was unable to distract his attention too much to the surroundings due to the existence of Haierbo, so his memory was actually very vague in many places.

Therefore, if he wants to save Luna, he must take everything here into consideration and try to find a feasible solution as soon as possible.

For Maka, the time after this may be very long; but for Luna below, there is not much time left for her!
