harry potter book of crimes

Because Maka had gone through a series of deductions before, he came to the conclusion that if Luna were to survive, he himself would inevitably be erased from existence.

Therefore, in order to overturn this result that he obviously could not accept, he once again devoted himself to more and more in-depth research.

In her ears, the ticking sound of the pendulum echoed non-stop, step by step. As time passed, Maka couldn't help but gradually ignore its existence.

During the research period, Maca almost never stopped to rest.

When you feel hungry, you just put some dry food into your mouth and pour some water; when you can't concentrate, you turn over a bottle of magic potion and drink it in a hurry.

Finally, when the ticking sound suddenly stopped, he, who was already used to the sound, was stunned for a moment.

"Time is up?"

The annoying ticking sound suddenly disappeared, which meant that time had returned to the moment when he used the time turner.

But after being stunned for a moment, Maka still shook her head and didn't pay too much attention.

Next is the third time backtracking. Before using the converter, he still has a lot of research content to confirm. After that, he can formulate a plan to save Luna and actually implement it.

"Wow"

Turning back the notes to a few pages ago, Maka couldn't help but frown slightly and read over the conclusion she had drawn at the beginning.

In fact, after some thinking, he had already crossed out the so-called "branch c".

If the branch of the world where Luna fell into a long-term coma is designated as "b", and the branch where Maka is currently located is designated as "b1"...then the branch of the world line where Luna survived intact does not seem to be

May be quite different from "b".

After all, Delphi also changed Luna's fate, but she didn't disappear because of the modification of the time rules, right?

In fact, it is obvious that the only thing that will cause major changes in the future is a major event like "thwarting Haierbo's conspiracy and saving the future world from the pain of war."

"So, the future where the demon summoning ritual is prevented can really be named 'Branch C'... and the future after Luna is rescued can only be called 'Branch B2' at best...?"

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still care too much about Luna's life and death. If not, I wouldn't have subconsciously concluded that rescuing Luna would definitely trigger the constriction of the rules of time."

Once he understood that his previous bad guess was probably just overthinking, he immediately became more confident in saving Luna.

Not long after, after turning the page to a new page, Maka began to plan step by step the rescue plan he had envisioned for a long time.

…

Maka used a time turner and was also a time traveler more than once. Delphi noticed this twice.

However, after knowing that it was impossible to convince the other party and almost nothing came of his original plan, Delphi finally returned here.

There was no way, because it seemed like she had nowhere else to go.

But for now, she at least knows that Maka seems to have not succeeded in rescuing Luna yet. Because it is obvious that Luna is still lying on that hospital bed, lifeless.

From Delphi's point of view, this actually means that nothing happened to Maka! He has not just failed to save Luna, as Ms. Granger said in his memory, but he has also been seriously injured.

Yes, although all the previous plans and preparations have failed, Delphi has not given up completely. Even though Maka said that he is "not yet" her father, she always regards Maka as her father.

This has never wavered in her heart.

Therefore, when she sensed that Hermione might be changing in the future, her mind suddenly started to stir.

"Hermione, according to what you just said, you have given up on following Mr. Maclean's footsteps, haven't you? But in that case, what are the hesitations and anxieties you hide in your heart?

"

After saying this to Hermione, Delphi stared into Hermione's eyes and said seriously:

"You still can't let go, can you?"

But facing Delphi's soft question, Hermione hesitated for a long time before stubbornly shaking her head and saying:

"……No."

Even though most of her self-confidence has been lost, Hermione is still Hermione, and the persistence and stubbornness in her character have not changed much.

Therefore, even when she denied it sincerely, her words still seemed very strong.

However, since Delphi has been very keen and seized this opportunity very promptly, how could she let it go?

When Hermione turned her head slightly and suddenly fell into silence, she then turned around and said:

"Hermione, I'm telling you, you can lie to me, but you can't lie to yourself. You should know best in your heart how much sincerity there is in that 'no' just now."

"Well... let's not mention your 'feelings' for Mr. McClain. After all, I have never liked any boy of the same age, and I don't understand the so-called 'love'. But at least I am sure that there is someone more suitable than you in this world."

There are really not many wizards who can help him."

"Think about it, you have a strong thirst for knowledge similar to Mr. MacLean, and you have similar perseverance to him. If given the opportunity, I believe you must have the potential to catch up with him."

Seriously, no one has ever compared Hermione to Maka.

From very early on, everyone has subconsciously regarded Maka as a legend, and who would compare a living legend with an ordinary wizard?

Even Hermione herself usually just keeps working hard on her own. Because in her heart, Maka is almost an unattainable goal. Rather than just imagining such meaningless comparisons alone, it is better to

It's better to spend your time on books and exercises.

However, who doesn't like to be praised? Especially Hermione, who has always regarded Maka as someone to chase.

When she heard these kind words from Delphi, while she didn't take it seriously, she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

Yes, even she herself was not aware of this seemingly nonexistent joy.

Therefore, after Delphi finished speaking, Hermione did not directly refute her evaluation at that time, but frowned and asked in confusion:

"What on earth are you thinking? You want me to go find Maka? What value do I have for you to persuade me so hard?"

Of these three questions in a row, the first two naturally had no explanation. But the last question undoubtedly showed that Hermione had realized that Delphi seemed to have ulterior motives.

However... yes, Delphi does have other thoughts, but the words of praise she said were not just for the purpose of deceiving.

"'Value'..." She pursed her lips, chewed the word for a while, and then said, "Hermione, do you really not feel that you actually have great potential?"

"Me? Potential?"

"That's right!" Delphi said, "You see, so far, you have mastered almost all the magic spells you can learn, and you can also prepare various very difficult potions. You have even initially learned how to

Use ancient magic words to form a pattern."

"Well, I will give you more examples... So how many people in this world do you think can know so many things at your age?"

"Luna also has a good command of ancient magical literature."

When Hermione argued like this, Delphi immediately shook his head.

"So, is Miss Lovegood also good at Potions? Not only Potions, but also Charms, Herbology, Astronomy, Transfiguration... and every subject has already surpassed that of Hogwarts graduates.

Degree."

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and then changed her subject:

"Think about Mr. Potter! He is actually the same. His strength has long surpassed that of most of his peers. But when he met the Sword of Gryffindor and struggled to hold the hilt, he finally

Now you can stand beside Mr. MacLean as you wish, right?"

In the future that Delphi experienced, she and Harry, who had become an uncle at that time, were actually very familiar with each other.

Because at that time, Harry and Neville had been following Maka, fighting together with Maka.

So now when talking about Harry, Delphi acted very naturally, and even gave people a vague feeling of familiarity.

Fortunately, Hermione was currently feeling complicated by Delphi's words and did not notice this for a while. Otherwise, with her sensitivity, she might have become suspicious.

You know, when they were at Hogwarts, Delphi and Harry didn't talk much in total.

And when Hermione became more and more hesitant, she continued to persuade:

"Therefore, I believe that as long as you have the opportunity, you can definitely help him as much as Mr. Potter... No, you can even play a more important role than him!"

Even Ms. Granger, who was the head of the logistics department at the resistance headquarters, also played a huge role. Without her construction and resource allocation, would the resistance army at that time be able to persist in extremely bad circumstances?

It’s hard to tell for such a long time.

"so what?"

After another moment of silence, Hermione lowered her eyes slightly and said softly:

"Even assuming that everything you said is right...then where is the opportunity? They say it is an 'opportunity'. Is it so easy to find?"

But in the next second, Delphi suddenly stared at her and said:

"No, you don't have to search hard, let alone try your luck. If you are willing to believe what I say, then I will give you your chance!"
