Chapter 1288 Hermione's Chance?

Because Maca went through a series of deduction before, he came to the conclusion that if Luna wants to live, he himself will inevitably be wiped out of existence.

Therefore, in order to overthrow this obviously unacceptable result, he once again devoted himself to more and more in-depth research.

In the ears, the ticking sound of the pendulum echoed non-stop, step by step. After a long time, Maca could not help but gradually ignore its existence.

During the study period, Maca almost never stopped to rest.

When I was hungry, I just stuffed some dry food into my mouth and poured some water; when I couldn't concentrate, I just picked up a potion and took it in a hurry.

Finally, when the ticking sound stopped suddenly, he, who was already used to the sound, was slightly taken aback.

"Time is up?"

The annoying ticking sound suddenly disappeared, which meant that the time had returned to the moment when he used the time-turner.

But after being stunned, Maca still shook his head, not paying too much attention to it.

Next is the third time backtracking. Before using the converter, he still has a lot of research to confirm. After that, the plan to save Luna was formulated and implemented in earnest.

"Wow--"

Turning the notes back to a few pages ago, Maca couldn't help frowning slightly, and read the conclusion he reached at the beginning again.

In fact, after some pondering just now, the so-called "branch c" has already been crossed out by him.

If the branch of the world where Luna fell into a long-term coma is designated as "b", and the branch where Maca is currently located is designated as "b1"...then the branch of the world line where Luna survived intact does not seem to be the same. May be very different from "b".

After all, Delphi also changed Luna's fate, but she didn't disappear because of the revision of the time rules, did she?

In fact, it is also obvious that the major changes in the future can only be such as "frustrating Haierbo's conspiracy and saving the future world from the suffering of war".

"So, the future that prevented the demon summoning ceremony can really be named as 'branch c'... and the future after saving Luna can only be regarded as 'branch b2' at best...?"

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"I still care too much about Luna's life and death. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't subconsciously believe that the act of rescuing Luna will definitely trigger the constriction of the time rule."

Once he realized that his previous poor speculation was probably just thinking too much, he also had more confidence in saving Luna.

Not long after, after turning the page to a new page, Maca began to plan step by step the life-saving plan he had conceived for a long time.

...

Maca used the time-turner, and more than once - as a time traveler, Delphi noticed this twice.

However, after knowing that it was impossible for him to convince the other party, Delphi, who had almost achieved nothing in his original plan, came back here after all.

There was no way, because she seemed to have nowhere else to go.

But right now,

At least she knew that Maca hadn't succeeded in rescuing Luna until now. Because obviously, Luna was still lying in that hospital bed, lifeless.

In Delphi's view, this actually means that Maca has not had an accident! Not only did he fail to save Luna, but he was also seriously injured as Ms. Granger said in his memory.

Yes, although all the previous plans and preparations have failed, Delphi has not given up completely. Even though Maca said that he is "not yet" her father, she always regards Maca as her father, and this has never wavered in her heart.

So, when she sensed that the future might change in Hermione, her mood froze all of a sudden.

"Hermione, according to what you said just now, you have given up on following Mr. McLean's footsteps, haven't you? But if this is the case, what is the hesitation and anxiety hidden in your heart? "

After saying this to Hermione, Delphi stared into her eyes and said seriously:

"You still can't let it go, can you?"

But facing Delphi's gentle questioning, Hermione hesitated for a while, then stubbornly shook her head and said:

"……No."

Even without most of her self-confidence, Hermione is still Hermione, and the persistence and stubbornness in her character still haven't changed much.

Therefore, even when she denies her words inappropriately, her words still seem very strong.

However, since Delphi had seized this opportunity very keenly and timely, how could she let it go?

When Hermione turned her head away slightly and suddenly fell silent, she then turned around and said:

"Hermione, let me tell you—you can lie to me, but you can't lie to yourself. You should know best in your heart how much sincerity there is in the 'no' just now."

"Well... don't mention your 'feelings' for Mr. McLean. After all, I have never liked any boys of the same age, and I don't know much about the so-called 'love'. But at least I can be sure that there is someone more suitable than you in this world There are really not many wizards to assist him."

"Think about it, you have a strong thirst for knowledge similar to Mr. McLean, and you also have similar perseverance. If you have the opportunity, I believe you must have the potential to catch up with him."

Seriously, no one had ever compared Hermione to Maca.

Since the early days, everyone has subconsciously regarded Maca as a legend, and who would compare a living legend with an ordinary wizard?

Even Hermione herself was just working hard on her own. Because in her mind, Maca is almost an unattainable goal. Instead of imagining such meaningless comparisons alone, it is better to spend time on books and exercises.

But who doesn't like being praised? Especially Hermione, who has always regarded Maca as the object of pursuit.

When she heard these compliments from Delphi, while she didn't take it seriously, she also couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Yes, even she herself didn't notice this kind of joy that seemed like nothing.

Therefore, after Delphi finished speaking, Hermione didn't directly refute her evaluation at that time, but asked with a puzzled frown:

"What are you thinking? You want me to find Maca? What value do I have for you to persuade me so hard?"

Of these three questions in a row, the first two naturally have nothing to explain. But that last question undoubtedly showed that Hermione had realized that Delphi seemed to have ulterior motives.

However... yes, Delphi did have other thoughts, but the words of praise she said were not just for the sake of deceiving.

"'Value'..." She pursed her lips, chewed on the word, and then said, "Hermione, don't you really feel that you have great potential?"

"Me? Potential?"

"That's right!" Delphi said, "Look, up to now, you have mastered almost all the magic spells you can learn, and you can also prepare all kinds of very difficult potions. Use ancient runes to form a diagram array."

"Well, I'll give you more examples... So how many people in this world can know so many things at your age?"

"Luna also masters the ancient magic literature very well."

When Hermione argued in this way, Delphi immediately shook her head.

"So, is Miss Lovegood also good at Potions? Not only Potions, but also Charms, Herbalism, Astronomy, Transfiguration... and every subject has already surpassed Hogwarts graduates. Degree."

Having said that, she suddenly paused, then changed the subject:

"Think about Mr. Potter! He is actually the same - his strength has long surpassed most of his peers, and when he met the sword of Gryffindor and tried to hold the hilt, He can finally stand beside Mr. McLean as he wished, can't he?"

In the future that Delphi experienced, she and Harry, who had become an uncle at that time, were actually very familiar with each other.

Because at that time, Harry and Neville had been following Maca, fighting with Maca.

So when Harry was mentioned at this moment, Delphi acted very naturally, and even faintly gave people a rather familiar feeling.

Fortunately, Hermione was feeling complicated about Delphi's words now, so she didn't notice it for a while. Otherwise, with her sensitivity, I'm afraid she would have doubted it.

You know, when they were at Hogwarts, Delphine and Harry didn't talk much in total.

And when Hermione became more and more hesitant, she continued to persuade:

"Therefore, I believe that as long as you also have a chance, then you can definitely help him as much as Mr. Potter... No, you can even play a more important role than him!"

Even just Ms. Granger, who was the head of the logistics department at the headquarters of the Rebel Army, also played a huge role. Without her construction and resource allocation, it is hard to say whether the rebel army at that time could have persisted for so long under extremely harsh conditions.

"So?"

After another moment of silence, Hermione lowered her eyes slightly and said softly:

"Even assuming that what you said is correct...then where is the opportunity? It is said to be 'opportunity', is it so easy to find?"

But in the next second, Delphi suddenly stared at her and said:

"No, you don't need to bother looking for it, and you don't need to try your luck—if you are willing to believe what I say, then I will give you the opportunity!"
