Chapter 1240 Stubborn Father and Daughter
Using the Time Converter will not only fail to save Luna, but will even kill herself. Now, this warning from Delphi may be more credible than any prophet's prediction.
Unfortunately, as Delphi said, Maca is actually a stubborn person. It doesn't matter whether he doesn't know how to choose, or whether he is confident and firm, when the critical moment comes, he will often only act in accordance with his own principles.
For example, Luna's life, he absolutely cannot allow himself to give up.
"Father, I know...even if I've told you all this, even if I beg you from now on, it's impossible for you to change your mind. However, I won't give you the Time-Turner —Even if I die, I won't give it back to you."
"You have to understand that I am your daughter, and my temper is as stubborn as yours!"
Having said that, Delphi pursed her lips tightly, and met Maca's gaze straightly. It can be seen that her eyes are full of determination.
Seeing this, Maca opened his mouth several times in a row, but in the end he closed it all back.
To be honest, it was rare for him to meet someone like this who left him speechless, but this time, he was really helpless with Delphi.
Not to mention anything else, just the strong concern that Delphi showed for him had already deeply touched his heart. As an orphan who has not been able to taste the taste of family affection for many years, this is enough to move him.
What's more, fundamentally speaking, Delphi is also an orphan. And the life she has experienced is probably more difficult than Maca's own life.
Under such circumstances, he really couldn't bear to force this extremely strong "daughter".
So after a moment of silence, Maca finally nodded wordlessly, and then stood up from the other side again.
"... You've worked hard this time, you've done a great job! I'm... well, I'm really proud of you. Don't worry about the outside world, I'll take care of it, what you said Everything will help me a lot.”
As he spoke, he took out several potion bottles from his waist and gently placed them on the bed.
Delphi had already exposed his concealment of his injuries before, so it is obvious that Delphi himself, who has spanned more than ten years in one fell swoop, will definitely suffer a lot of injuries.
Only because she was careful enough not to allow any decisive changes in the past,
Theoretically speaking, the damage she suffered might not be as good as Maca.
After all, Maca saved the entire school at once.
"I have to talk to Harry, Neville and the others now. You can actually sleep a little longer and remember to come down and eat something later."
Seeing that Delphi was still staring at her, Maca had no choice but to smile at her, and then walked out of the room lightly.
Delphi watched the door being slowly closed, and felt that Maca had gone down the stairs, and then she lay down on the bed with her head up as if she had lost all her strength.
"Sure enough, it's impossible to make Dad give up—especially when Haierbo's demon summoning ceremony is still going on, he has all the more reason to stick to his determination."
"...Damn it, I've spent so much time and effort, what the hell are I doing!"
Before the words fell, Delphi clenched his fist and hammered the quilt vigorously, his delicate face was full of helplessness.
...
"Didn't come down with you?"
When Lupine found Maca walking from the stairs alone, he couldn't help asking a question—it could be seen that he had already brought out some desserts from the back, obviously planning to give them to Delphi.
"I'll let her rest a little longer."
Maca didn't show any strangeness in front of Lupin - there are already enough things for him to be busy at the moment, like those things that he has no clue about, there is no need to tell him to make trouble for him.
Not to mention Luna's matter, there is absolutely nothing Lupine can do, even if he just tells him Hai Erbo's real plan, it will only make him more troubled.
Maca paced to the bar, picked up a small plate of scones, turned around and walked towards the door, picking up a piece and stuffing it into his mouth as he walked.
"Where did you find that out?"
I saw him talking vaguely, and quickly walked out of the bar door, apparently not intending to know the answer to this question at all.
When Lupine saw it, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.
On the other side, Maca who had just walked out of the front door passed the dessert plate in front of Harry.
"Come on, have some sweets to relax you a little bit. Even if the job of guarding the gate is very important, you should know how to relax appropriately. Keeping your nerves tense will only make you less resilient."
"Oh! Uh... Maca?"
Probably because Maca didn't make any noise whether she opened the door or walked out, so that when Harry saw the saucer appear, he almost waved his wand at it.
Maca saw that he turned his head to look at him after being startled for a while, and raised the plate in his hand again. After Harry took a piece from it, he stuffed the whole plate into Neville's hands.
"After eating this plate of snacks, let's get ready! Just now Lupine told me that Kingsley is going to Buckingham Palace to meet the Muggle Queen—he should come over in a while, and you two will come with him then." go!"
"Oh! Queen?"
Harry's eyes lit up when he heard it.
He grew up in a Muggle family. Although he also showed a very strong ability to adapt after coming into contact with the wizarding world, the affairs of the Muggle world still occupy a large part of his heart.
So when he knew that he was about to meet the queen, he couldn't help but get excited.
"Yes, Queen," Maca said, "and the Muggle Prime Minister will most likely appear at the same time—Neville, then you will stay by their side and protect them with some Aurors."
"Huh?" Neville couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words, "Maka, I actually want to fight the dark wizard with Sirius."
"No," Maca shook his head immediately, "Do you think protecting the Muggle Queen is not important? Let me tell you, this task is a hundred times more important than you imagined!"
After a short pause, he then explained:
"Listen, although this disaster originated from the wizarding world, it has already involved most of the Muggles in London. And you must understand that this world is still dominated by Muggles...especially In recent years, the Muggle society has developed rapidly, and if there are no accidents, the best result for wizards in the future can only be to fully integrate into the Muggle world."
Of course, the premise is that Hai Erbo can survive the biggest accident! Otherwise, the whole world would be a mess with Haier Bo's ancient magic from the peak age of wizards.
And then, whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, or even Hai Erbo himself, I am afraid that sooner or later he will suffer a great crime.
To be honest, Maca never underestimated the power of modern Muggles.
"Okay, it's really too early to say these words now." He opened his arms, patted Harry and Neville's shoulders, and then turned around, "Anyway, both of you will Be careful, don't be careless just because your strength has improved a bit—if you can solve the troubles without using your hands, don't bite the bullet, do you hear me?"
"OK."
Neville nodded obediently, while Harry on the other side couldn't help but say:
"Neville's mission is over, what about me?"
"You?" Maca shrugged immediately after hearing this, "I don't care about you! After Kingsley has talked with the Queen, let him arrange things for you! Hmm... Hold your sword, don't Disgraced Gryffindor!"
"certainly!"
Hearing what Maca said, Harry was instantly relieved.
But it is also true that with the sharpness of Gryffindor's sword, he will definitely become the first sharp sword of the Order of the Phoenix. As for those Collectors who are almost invulnerable on defense, it's up to Harry to pry open their "turtle shells"!
After taking another scone from the plate in Neville's hand, Maca immediately waved his hand and said:
"The matter is over, I should go too...see you later!"
Leaving the door of the Leaky Cauldron, with his back to Harry and Neville, Maca's face instantly dissipated the relief.
Obviously, the lightness he showed just now was just to make Harry and the others less anxious and nervous. But in fact, he himself was equally heavy-hearted.
Needless to say, since the Time-Turner was not available from Delphi, Maca had to look elsewhere. And after knowing the possible bad consequences of using the converter this time, how to avoid excessive damage to himself and at the same time successfully rescue Luna became two things that he had to think about carefully.
Coupled with Haierbo's demon summoning technique and the meteorite that is about to fall towards Hogwarts, the burden on Maca's shoulders has become so heavy that others can't imagine.
However, if he does not do certain things, who else can replace them?
After all, Maca still likes this world very much, including those lovely and amiable classmates, friends, elders around him... Of course, there are also girls he likes and who like him.
Therefore, he is willing to shoulder this burden until there is really a capable and responsible person to take his place.
"Don't dream!"
As he was walking, Maca suddenly remembered Dumbledore's old face, which made him immediately shake his head vigorously and put aside his expectations.
"Speaking of which, Delphi still seems to be hiding something from me... Sigh..."
He can actually feel that it must not be a trivial matter, but it probably doesn't have much impact on what he is going to do now.
