While Maka was eating snacks with everyone in the ward at St. Mungo's, Lupine, the main person in charge of the Diagon Alley defense line, was receiving a group of wizards and witches with relatively special identities.

As Maka had guessed before, this group of wizards did come from the United States. Moreover, they were a support team appointed by the President of the Magical Congress of the United States and personally led by Barlow Stewart, one of the two principals of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In this team, there are Quidditch players who are good at aerial combat, experienced dark wizard strikers, and many current American Aurors.

As for what these American wizards from all walks of life have in common, it is that they all graduated from Ilvermorny in the United States.

Yes, it can be said that this large team was actually dispatched on the grounds of Ilvermorny's friendly support to Hogwarts. As far as the two schools are almost from the same origin, this

The reason is that no one can gossip.

"Mr. Stewart, I think I have to thank you first on behalf of Headmaster McGonagall of Hogwarts. In this terrible disaster, Ilvermorny can stand up for Hogwarts and our British magic."

The support provided by the industry is indeed a very rare thing.”

On the long table in the middle of the Leaky Cauldron, Lupine was thanking the headmaster of Ilvermorny across the table. Before that, the wizard volunteers from the United States had been taken to Kingsley to participate in the battle.

.

What can be seen now is that Stewart, who is sitting next to the long table, is a slightly older, thin, middle-aged man. He is wearing a rather smart casual suit, a pair of slightly old leather shoes under his feet, and there is a

Wearing a pair of silver thin-rimmed glasses.

At first glance, he looks more like a resolute Muggle professor than a wizard.

After hearing Lupin's thanks, Mr. Stewart immediately shook his head and then spoke very quickly:

"No, no thank you. We have to say thank you. In fact, it is better for us to say 'thank you'. I think if it hadn't been for Mr. MacLean's generous action, someone maliciously 'trapped' the Obscurial."

If the root cause of the crisis is cut off from the very beginning, then our American magical community will probably suffer extremely huge losses for no reason!"

What Stewart was talking about was originally just something Maka did incidentally to deal with Grindelwald, but it obviously had other, more important meanings for MACUSA.

Well, who knew that the culprit, Grindelwald's old subordinate, was also from Ilvermorny?

"Therefore, this time we are not here to provide any conventional humanitarian support, but a 'return gift' in return for Mr. McClain's help."

Having said this, Stewart's face that seemed to have always been serious suddenly showed a smile. He nodded towards Lupine and said:

"And to be honest, this fog disaster in London may not be a disaster that only belongs to the British wizarding world. Judging from the misdeeds of the ancient dark wizard Helbo and the chaos he has caused on a global scale, if

Once London, England falls...sooner or later this crisis will center here and spread to the entire world."

"Therefore, although we in the United States are separated from your country by a huge North Atlantic Ocean, we have to consider the future development of the situation in advance. This time is not so much support. I think it is more to nip the disaster in the cradle as early as possible.

Lest Haierbo accumulate more strength in the future and threaten the daily security of our American magic world."

War is equivalent to attrition. Both the victor and the defeated will actually suffer considerable losses, which is something no country wants to see.

After hearing what Stewart said, Lupine couldn't help but nodded and agreed.

"Yes," he said, "Actually, I also think that Herbo's gaze cannot be limited to our British magical world. If he develops it, the consequences will be unimaginable."

After saying this, both of them paused for a moment, and then Stewart suddenly turned around and said:

"By the way, Mr. Lupin! Actually, I also wanted to see Mr. McClane, who had a private estate where there were many Obscurials last time. He left there very quickly after finishing his work, so that when I

I was unlucky enough to miss him in the past tense."

"Oh, have you met Maka..." Speaking of this, Lupine couldn't help showing a slightly apologetic look, "In fact, we can't find his whereabouts at any time. So I can only say that I'm not big either.

I know exactly where he is... I just know that he must be somewhere in the city at the moment, working hard to resolve this crisis."

Hearing this, Stuart was a little disappointed. He had brought his people here so hurriedly, just because he wanted to see the powerful young wizard who had been very popular recently.

But now it seems that it is not so easy to see.

"Okay!" After a moment, Stewart suddenly stood up and said to Lupine, "Then, I will go to Mr. Shacklebolt to help."

It can be seen that the principal of Ilvermorny Magic School has no airs at all and has a completely down-to-earth attitude in doing things.

And...it seems that he is still a person who puts efficiency first in everything.

Because after saying that at the end, he decisively said goodbye to Lupine, and then turned around and went to the door. As for the current situation in London, he even immediately noticed it when he arrived here.

After asking clearly, almost no effort was wasted now.

After watching the other party leave in a hurry, Lu Ping glanced at the bar again. There was an owl standing on it, pecking at the bread crumbs scattered on the bar.

That was the messenger Lupine used to send information to Maka before the group of American wizards came over. But what he didn't expect was that this time even the owl couldn't find Maka.

"Well, let me give you the facts again...but those American wizards have also been here, so the content needs to be revised and perfected."

After saying that, he quickly walked back to the bar, picked up his quill and started writing.

…

"...No need, I'm not hungry."

At this time, on the other side, Delphi had just rejected the bread handed to her by Fred. However, her eyes neither fell on the bread nor on Fred, nor did she look at the bedside.

of maca.

At this moment, no one knew what was wrong with her. Only Maka felt vaguely that this girl seemed to be having trouble.

"Miss Fisher, let me tell you, you'd better eat something! If I guess correctly, you haven't eaten anything all night, right? How can you not be hungry?"

"Anyway, I'm just not hungry," Delphi still didn't look at him, just pursed her lips, and after a moment of stalemate, she whispered, "Also, I told you I don't like the word 'fisher'

Last name...I'm not a fisherman."

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Maka could only shrug and said, "Okay!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Fred taking back the bread that had not been handed out and taking a bite of it himself. Then, he heard him say vaguely:

"Isn't your last name Fisher? Then what should we call you?"

Delphi glanced at Maka, and then said deliberately:

"Just call me Mike."

"Ahem."

Maka quickly coughed dryly, interrupting her inexplicable angry behavior, but there was still a little helplessness in her expression. To be honest, having such a big daughter out of thin air... is really a strange thing.

It's a good thing.

Obviously, although Delphi failed to finish her words, she still attracted the attention of almost everyone present. Especially Hermione, whose eyes were wide open at this moment, and her face was full of complexity.

Everyone naturally heard that Delphi originally wanted to say "McLean". And you must know that people who follow other people's surnames may not necessarily be father and daughter. Judging from their age, they are more likely to be husband and wife.

What's more, in fact, Hermione was very suspicious of her intentions towards Maka. Even though Maka might not like her, she probably liked Maka.

Yes, just like Hermione herself.

"I'm afraid of you, okay!" Maka waved her hand and said, "Okay, stop making trouble... Anyway, just trust me once and leave the rest to me!"

This sentence was obviously meant for Delphi. Although almost nothing was explained clearly, if it were Delphi, he would naturally be able to understand the meaning behind his words.

However, for Delphi, this is not a question of trust or distrust at all. After all, many things in her memory are "facts" that have already happened.

The father "back then" was indeed seriously injured, so much so that he could not turn over under Haierbo's hands from beginning to end. In the end, he simply and inexplicably disappeared from the world.

However, Delphi also knew Maka very well, and she knew that at this time, it was probably impossible to stop the other party. So after Maka said those words, although she was still reluctant, she still closed her door silently.

Mouth.

Seeing this, Maka tilted her head towards Fred and motioned for him to get another piece of bread and pass it over.

"Hey, this time it's raspberry bread, would you like one?"

Delphi blinked, but finally reached out and took it. After all, Fred had no grudge against her, so he couldn't ignore other people's good intentions over and over again, right?

After thinking about it like this, she opened her mouth and took a big bite, as if she thought the piece of bread was Maka who always couldn't listen to her words.
