harry potter book of crimes

The time turner is still the same time turner, it has been hanging on Delphi's chest, and the thin golden chain still shines with delicate luster.

If you turn the outer ring that fixes the hourglass rotor sideways and look for it, you can still see the words "Delphi MacLean" carved by Maca not long ago. After more than ten years of rubbing, the scratches on it have even faded away.

Having lost its initial sharpness, each letter has become noticeably softer.

It can be said that that is proof that Maka challenges the rules of time in order to change her destiny, and it is also the greatest explanation of her deep feelings for Maka, her "father".

Today, there are only a few time turners left in the world, and the one held in Makka's palm at this moment is probably the most significant one among them.

Holding it in her hand now, Maka felt it was heavy, because after all, it carried the fate and future of too many people.

"what should I do?"

Even though Maka has experienced time travel many times, it is actually because of this that he understands the difficulty involved.

Putting aside the physical wear and tear, it is extremely difficult to just find a way out of the thousands of possibilities.

And the most important thing is that this time, the difficulties he will face are really extraordinary.

Luna's death... Delphi's death... the plan against Haierbo... the attack of the zombie army... everything is closely intertwined. I want to pick out a thread from this mess.

It all makes people feel like they have no idea where to start.

What's more, even if he tried his best to let Luna and Delphi escape from this dead situation, what about the next time? What about the next time?

If this nightmare cycle is not completely solved, repeated interference will only make the future more uncertain. If you just pull the tangled thread randomly, it will only become tighter and tighter.

Well, in fact, this mess is now very tightly wound, so tight that one wonders if it has been tied into a dead knot.

"What's the problem... exactly?"

Maka did not take off the time turner from Delphi's neck. He just gently hugged Delphi's increasingly cold body, holding the hourglass pendant and her hand tightly in his hands, silently searching for the answer.

.

Pictures from memory kept flying through his mind, starting from the plan he made to deal with Haierbo, to the fierce battle with Haierbo at Hogwarts, to resisting the march of the zombie army, the mist

Transferred to Canterbury, Herbo was enraged after falling into the trap, Harry was seriously injured, Luna and Delphi died...

This plan is obviously not complicated. Maka just took advantage of Haierbo's arrogance after getting the devil's body and used the fact that he was defeated by the zombie army to lure him into the trap.

Perhaps the biggest problem in this plan is that with Maka's current strength, even her best efforts can only cause Haierbo to suffer a big loss, but it will not be able to accomplish the result in one battle.

However, according to Maka's original idea of ​​formulating this plan, he actually never thought of annihilating Haierbo through this plan.

All he wanted was to postpone it for a day, because there was another big thing that couldn't be delayed now.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow night is the time for the meteorite to fall into Hogwarts."

Suddenly, Maka looked up at the sky, but then immediately shook her head.

The plan to free up this day for himself can be said to have failed, but the price Maka paid for this was too high for him to bear.

"It's not time to think about this. Anyway... we have to find out what's wrong with you first."

Not long after, Makafu lowered his head again, looked at the face of Delphi, who had already closed his eyes, and whispered.

…

The breeze flows gently in the streets of Helix Town, stirring the green canopy of trees along the road; the afternoon sun shines through the swaying branches and leaves, leaving little swaying traces on Maka who quietly appears here.

light spot.

It is clear that living corpses are marching outside, and a large number of wizards are dying every minute to resist the enemy. However, in this underground town that has not yet been attacked by the enemy, the beautiful environment still exudes a sense of nature and leisure.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "calm before the storm"!

"...April, I just went to the hall of the new Ministry of Magic, and I overheard...The situation on the front line seems to be bad! The enemy is too strong, our team is not strong enough, and the front line has collapsed.

Several times!”

Opposite the tree where Maka was, some young wizards were gathering in the shade of another tree. Since Maka always maintained a state of invisibility, even though the two sides were only separated by an alley, they were completely unaware of anyone else.

Listen here silently.

"It's okay, it will be okay! We still have Mr. MacLean. What's more, I heard that there were many powerful wizards among Mr. MacLean's classmates! For example... by the way, the 'Boy Who Lived'

'!He has gone to the front with the Sword of Gryffindor!"

"Yes! And Miss Hermione Granger, it is said..."

The young wizards gathered together to discuss with each other the battle situation on the front line that they had overheard from the Ministry of Magic hall, and what other combat forces on our side were worth mentioning. Maka just listened casually, because this helped him regain his senses.

Check the time you went back to.

And when Maka overheard that the other party was discussing whether to call in volunteers to help defend the front line, he suddenly nodded with some understanding.

"Oh, these should be the members who support Hermione's volunteer team, right?"

It didn't take long for those young people to have decided to give it a try based on what was discussed, so after assigning their respective tasks, they dispersed on the spot.

Maka didn't pay attention to their actions, but raised her head slightly, tilted her body, and glanced at the second-floor window of the house next to her.

It can be seen that Delphi at this time did not rush to help after learning that the front line collapsed, but just lay on the window edge, watching the group of "aspiring young people" leave in a hurry,

A look of sadness gradually appeared on that pretty face.

Yes, in fact, when Maka first found Delphi, she had reconfirmed the fact that the magic power fluctuations in Delphi's body were already as weak as the light of a firefly at this point in time, and were in a state that could be extinguished at any time.

status.

"I'm sorry, Dad..."

Just as Maka was looking at Delphi's bloodless face and observing carefully, he heard Delphi upstairs suddenly murmuring softly:

"I may not be able to help you anymore."
