Chapter 1238 Long-Lost Warmth

In the old room, there was a faint mist coming in through the window cracks, as if someone had covered the place with a thin veil.

Even if the tables and chairs are wiped clean, because of the existence of that layer of "gauze", it will always give people the illusion of being dirty.

But it has to be said that although the boss, Old Tom, looks a bit sloppy, he often gives people a nervous feeling. But when he treats customers and this bar, he is always sincere.

Although the Leaky Cauldron was really dilapidated due to its long history, Old Tom would clean up almost every place several times a day, and he never got bored day after day.

And this is one of the reasons why many people come to live here for a few days when necessary.

So in the past two days, even though Old Tom had to be taken by the Aurors to take refuge in Diagon Alley, the room on the second floor still maintained the minimum cleanliness.

At this moment, the door of this room is tightly closed, and occasionally a few wisps of magic shocks visible to the naked eye flash across it. The protective magic left by Maca seems to remind anyone not to touch it at will.

What I have to mention here is that due to the heavy fog outside, the room will become somewhat gloomy and gloomy. Therefore, before Maca left, he lighted the woodpile in the fireplace, which not only made the room glow with orange fire, but also made the room much warmer all of a sudden.

The slight sound of breathing echoed in the room without a trace.

"……dad."

"Daddy... no, where are you? Don't leave me..."

"do not leave me!"

After a series of vague calls, the girl who was curled up in bed suddenly opened her eyes, and a few strands of curly hair stuck to her forehead wet with cold sweat.

In the next second, Delphi pursed her slightly pale lips, and murmured to herself:

"Dream?"

After a long time, she finally had this dream again, but it happened after her plan failed. Perhaps for her, that is undoubtedly the scene she least wants to dream of now.

Lying on his back and lost his mind for a while, Delphi gently pushed the quilt away and sat up, using his left hand to stroke some wet and sticky long hair behind his head.

"Is this... the guest room at the Leaky Cauldron?"

Looking around at the layout of the room, she suddenly saw a silver cup on the bedside table. It can be seen that the cup is still steaming out, and a faint wave of magic power made her understand that it should be attached with a magic spell for heat preservation.

A mellow aroma of hot cocoa lingers in the air.

"Father..." Delphi reached out to pick up the warm silver cup, and whispered to himself, "Look, am I right? The you ten years ago, and the you ten years later, really Nothing has changed. It's like...you can always give someone the most suitable thing when they need it most, even if you are not there."

Having said that, she slightly lowered her head and took a sip of warm hot cocoa, and the chill brought to her by the previous nightmare dissipated.

However, when she went on to drink the second sip, she suddenly discovered something that surprised her from the corner of her eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Delphi choked on the second sip of hot cocoa, coughing so violently that she could hardly hold her cup steady.

But after coughing for a while, she saw her looking down at the clothes on her body, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"Why... pajamas?"

I don't know if it was because of the cough just now, or because of other reasons, Delphi's fair little face seemed to be slightly flushed.

After a short silence, she heard her mutter again:

"...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

In fact, Delphi also knew that the pajamas she was wearing were transformed from her original clothes. With Maca's magical control power, this was naturally nothing.

But... it's somewhat inappropriate to use the transfiguration technique on the clothes worn by girls, right?

"Although it's really uncomfortable to sleep in the original combat outfit..."

Even Delphi has always regarded Maca as his father, whether it is now or in the future. But after all, she is so old, even if her father changed her clothes, she would inevitably feel a little shy.

After a while, she shook her head vigorously, raised the silver cup in her hand and took a big sip, flushing the shame in her heart back into her stomach.

"He should be downstairs?" Delphi glanced towards the door, "I'm going to see him... immediately."

Before she finished speaking, she threw off the quilt, picked up the magic wand that was placed beside the pillow, and changed the pajamas back into the short wizard robes she usually wears.

But just after she put on her shoes and ran to the door, and deftly dispelled the protective magic on them, she suddenly stopped her movements when she just touched the doorknob.

After a few seconds of freezing, Delphi seemed to have thought of something important, and retracted her hand as if electrocuted.

"No, no, I can't see him."

As she spoke, she shook her head and took a few steps back, then sat back on the edge of the bed.

"If I had followed the original plan, I shouldn't be here at all. But...the plan failed because I was stupid for a while..."

"Yeah! Why am I still here? What right do I have to enjoy Dad's arms?"

...

"...Yes, so Kingsley plans to go to the Muggle Queen to see if he can personally command the actions of the Muggle army."

"Well, the power of Muggles really cannot be ignored. Under the current circumstances, it would be too wasteful not to borrow it. After all, London is also the London of Muggles... In order for the two sides to cooperate more efficiently and fully resolve this issue Disaster, I think the queen would agree."

At the bar downstairs of the Leaky Cauldron, Maca and Lupine were discussing the countermeasures—there are mad wizards everywhere in downtown London, no matter how strong one is alone, it will be a drop in the bucket. Hai Erbo has to face it.

Whether it was the Order of the Phoenix, the Muggles or himself, all needed a plan that was as effective as possible right now.

But at this moment...

"Well?"

As Maca was talking, he suddenly raised his head slightly and glanced at the ceiling.

"She seems to be awake."

"Oh, really?" Lupine followed suit and casually said, "Then go up and have a look, it's time to take care of him!"

After a short pause, he continued:

"In that counterattack before, that girl was a great help to us... If she hadn't taken away the most difficult one, not only would it be difficult for us to win so quickly, the Muggle army would even have a huge casualties."

"Of course, I don't need you to tell me that I will take good care of it," Maca nodded. "Then you should send someone to notify Kingsley and Sirius as soon as possible about the few things we decided just now! I will go first upstairs..."

As he spoke, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the stairs. Lupine watched his back at the bar, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and added loudly:

"That's right! It's okay to care, but don't care about 'too much'—as an excellent gentleman, it's not good to be fickle!"

"Uh--"

Maca turned her head, rolled her eyes at Lupine, and then sighed helplessly.

"I'll tell you the truth, even if I'm really bothered to the point where I love everyone," he pointed upstairs and said, "Only this is absolutely impossible."

But I have to say that Delphi is really one of the most beautiful girls Maca has seen so far. Even compared with Veela, they can only be said to have their own merits.

Therefore, it must be admitted that the combination of Voldemort and Bellatrix, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, really gave her an exceptional appearance gene!

While thinking about these messy things, Maca stepped on the creaking stairs to the second floor, and quickly walked to the door of the room where Delphi was, and knocked on the door.

What made him realize that the other party was awake just now was naturally the dispelled protective magic on the door, so he didn't feel any surprise after seeing it now.

But who would have thought that after Maca knocked on the door, Delphi, who had obviously gotten up inside, didn't come to open the door for a long time—he could clearly feel that the other party was sitting at the end of the bed right now!

"Delphi...it's me, McClain."

For some reason, Delphi didn't seem to want to come out of it. But after Maca opened her mouth, there was a few seconds of silence, she couldn't help but respond after all:

"I know... Dad, let's go! Leave me alone—"

"Ok?"

Maca stood at the door, thinking secretly, and suddenly felt that the other party was blaming himself for the failure of his plan. And thinking of this, he couldn't help but find it difficult to speak what he originally wanted to ask the other party.

However, what should be asked must be asked no matter what, and what should be asked of him must naturally be asked for - this is for Luna.

However, considering Delphi's difficulty and her mood at the moment, she should be more tactful if she can!

"Delphi," Maka persuaded through the door, "If you are troubled by the failure of the plan, I hope you don't think about it... You see, there are always ways and opportunities, right? ?”

After Maca finished speaking, there was another silence in the room, and then Delphi was heard saying:

"No, it's not just about preventing the failure of the summoning ceremony... I... Dad, you better leave me alone, let me be alone!"

"But," Maca paused, and then finally nodded, "Okay! Of course, you can be quiet... But I still hope that you can return the time-turner to me as soon as possible. You know, no matter Is it a failed plan to salvage, or... we all need it."
