harry potter book of crimes

No one could have imagined that this so-called "secret mission" left by Voldemort was just to save a child.

To be honest, it is not surprising that Voldemort and Bellatrix gave birth to a child. First of all, although Bellatrix has been married for a long time, she has always been in love with Voldemort.

It was almost crazy, as long as Voldemort wanted to, there was no way she would refuse.

As for Voldemort, although Bellatrix is ​​sometimes sick, her appearance is still quite good. After all, the Black family has a good foundation. Regarding this, look at the girl who looks unkempt all day long but

Sirius, who was still charming, could understand more or less.

Maka was not surprised that these two guys with dark hearts could hook up.

However, in the past period of time, Voldemort was forced by him to the point where he couldn't use it at all. Under such circumstances, I didn't expect that this guy could still have such leisurely elegance, which made Maka sincerely sigh.

Already.

Well, maybe it’s because I can’t vent the tightness in my chest?

Maka was thinking about it while walking on the streets of the small town of Wells. The expression on her face always maintained that subtle energy that could not dissipate for a long time.

No matter what, the child is innocent after all. Although Maca McClain can't be called a good person, he really can't do it to a baby who has just been born.

For him, life mottos such as "forever beginning and later for future trouble" can only be laughed at. From the beginning to the end, he is an ordinary person who gets by, and the bottom line of his actions has always been there. There is nothing wrong with it.

Whether it is or not, it is mostly just for peace of mind.

"The direction that the Muggle woman ran away with her child in her arms should have been this way..."

The town of Wells is really not that big, and even a walk around the whole town won't take more than a few hours. And after you have some directions, it will be even less difficult to find people.

Because the woman only traveled on one pair of legs, he could guess that the other party's home was definitely not too far away. Presumably, if she came out after dark, she would probably go for a walk after dinner while it was still dark.

Just buying stuff.

After walking a short distance along the road and arriving at a residential area with many houses, Maka went from house to house and listened to the noise. After a while, he curled his lips and stood in front of a house.

Already.

There was no way around it, it was so lively inside that it was hard for him not to pay attention. The sounds of men questioning, women crying and cursing, and babies crying came and went one after another. The sounds were louder and deeper than before.

Listening to opera at the Royal Opera House in London is a great experience.

Maka just paused, then waved her hand to unlock the door, opened the door and walked straight in.

"Who are you! How did you get in!"

The house was not big, and there was the living room as soon as you entered. No, as soon as he stepped into the house, the male owner saw him at a glance.

"I'm here to resolve conflicts in your family." Maka spread her hands and said, "Although I don't know what you are arguing about, I can roughly guess the cause of the matter - come, let me see the child.

"

As he spoke, he lifted his legs and walked inside, waving his hands as he walked. How could ordinary Muggles resist the power of the Confusion Curse? The young couple had been quarreling with each other just a moment ago.

, but the next second, they all had confused expressions... The woman named Sarah still had tears on her face!

Maka easily took the baby from the woman's hands. Strangely enough, the baby stopped crying as soon as it reached his arms, and looked at his curiously with a pair of big eyes full of tears.

face.

"Delphi...hey!"

Maka had never held a child before. As soon as he put this little girl in his arms, he immediately realized that the baby was really not light. Could it be that holding a child in his arms was actually a struggle?

"Your name is Delphi, do you know?"

He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the child's cheek. It was soft and slippery, which was quite a new experience. Perhaps because he was still far from the age to speak, little Delphi twisted his mouth and stared.

I stared at Maka for a while.

After Maka finished teasing the little girl, she stretched out her hand to remove the swaddling clothes and took a look. Sure enough, a silver necklace was put around her neck, with faint magic fluctuations in it, and a very faint black...

Magical breath.

"You don't need this. As for your biological father, the further away you are, the better. Do you understand?" As he said this, he took it off for her and put it back in the bag on his waist.

inside.

"What's your family name?" Maka suddenly raised her head and asked the woman.

"Fisher." The woman replied immediately.

"It's a really good name," but there was nothing good about it on Maka's face. He lowered his head again as he said it, "Delphi, I'll give you two choices now - if you like Fei Xi

If you have this last name, hold this finger of mine; if you don’t like it, hold the other one.”

While saying this, he stretched out his index finger and middle finger in front of little Delphi, letting the little girl who was not yet sensible make her choice.

In fact, this choice is far from as simple as a last name. Maka is using this method to decide whether this little girl's future will live in the magical world or this Muggle world.

However, extraordinary children always make extraordinary choices. I saw little Delphi blinking her big eyes, looking at the two fingers with long eyelashes flashing, and then she opened her bow left and right and grabbed both of them.

"Humph... Hahaha..." Maka was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing loudly, as if she had thought of something interesting, "Okay! You, the daughter, are smarter than your father.

——Okay! Since you have chosen this way, I will follow your choice!"

Nowadays, Maka wants a child's magic power to never awaken. Although it will definitely be a bit troublesome, it is not impossible. Originally, if this little Delphi chose the surname Fisher, then Maka would

That's exactly what the card is intended to do.

But now, this little girl has chosen a life path that is ordinary to others. Of course, this is a journey that is completely incompatible with her background.

If you ask her what her choice is? Neither a Muggle for life nor a wizard for life, then of course she is a Muggle-born wizard.

"Delphi Riddle...I will keep this name as far away from you as possible," Maka tucked the swaddling clothes for her, then looked at her and said, "From today on, you will be Delphi Fisher.

...Well, I really don’t feel like this surname no matter how I pronounce it.”

Probably the future cheap father of Delphi in front of me has been a fisherman for generations. Although the surname Fisher is common and not uncommon, it makes Maka feel uncomfortable once he talks about it.

"...and I am your distant cousin...um, no, cousin?"

If we talk about the age of him and this little girl, it's not too much to say that they are cousins, but if we look at Voldemort's age, here...

"Okay, if you continue to struggle, you should become my elder!" Macca grinned helplessly.

It is a normal thing for a newly married couple to have a child. And it is not difficult for Maka to let the Fisher couple recognize the little girl.

Soon, he walked away leisurely under the watch of the couple.

"Come and see her often in the future! Although I was a little irresponsible in leaving the choice to her, this little girl's future life is still closely related to me."

Maybe many years later, he can send this child to Hogwarts like a real elder, and then watch her continue to grow up and write her own story. Just thinking about this kind of ending makes her happy.

It's quite beautiful, isn't it?

"Maybe I can keep my child company...well, isn't it too soon?"

Maka muttered all the way, and after walking a certain distance, she went directly back to Hogwarts.

…

The next morning, as soon as Maka got up from bed, she found the owl Marfa waiting outside the window. What she brought to Maka was a letter from Scrimgeour, the current Minister of Magic.

This lightning-fast pursuit of the fugitive made Scrimgeour very happy. Needless to say, the headline of the "Daily Prophet" was a disaster.

The letter of thanks was sent with the same newspaper. The only difference from yesterday was that the full newspaper content had become complete. In order to warn certain people, and also to show his strength, Scrimgeour sent yesterday's newspaper

He suppressed the results of the hunt until this morning before actually making them public.

Facts have proved that his choice was very correct. Because what the public who do not know the truth care about is not whether the prisoners awaiting trial in the Ministry of Magic dungeons have escaped, but whether they have the opportunity to spread evil and panic again. This rapid arrest

As a result, many ordinary wizards breathed a sigh of relief and developed a good impression of the Ministry of Magic and Scrimgeour himself.

In the letter, Scrimgeour also vaguely mentioned a piece of news about Hogwarts. Maka knew as soon as she saw it that the real benefits were coming!

Mutual benefit with the Minister of Magic is a very good thing. In this regard, you can see what Dumbledore did in the past. At that time, Dumbledore was not wrong in choosing to promote Cornelius Fudge.

, but he didn't expect that Voldemort would suddenly be resurrected.

If there was peace, Fudge might be a safe Minister of Magic.

"It is certainly a good thing for Hogwarts to launch a multi-school joint event!" Maka shook the exquisite letter paper and nodded with satisfaction.
