Chapter 1289 Sewer Ghost
If he is no longer running around alone all the time, if he is always accompanied by a girl who can go up and down with him every day, can the father pay more attention to himself—not just the personal safety of others?
After all, in this world, Luna is not the only girl who cares and pays attention to him all the time. Even if he may not have love for Miss Granger, at least he will have concerns because of her existence, right?
If Hermione could stay by his father's side, maybe he could try to get his father to stop using the time-turner over and over again?
Although the possibility of success in doing so is actually not very high, but under the circumstances that her "cheap daughter" has completely failed, even if there is only a slight possibility, she is not willing to let it go.
"That's right, the future is changing... So, as long as the worst doesn't happen, everything is still possible, no matter how small the odds!"
"What's more, Dad has always been gentle and considerate, now and in the future."
Thinking about it this way, Delphi hoped that Hermione would agree to her proposal just now - as long as her father could stop taking risks with the time-turner, then let her do anything.
However, getting Hermione to leave St. Mungo and go to Maca's side seems to be much more difficult than Delphi imagined.
"I understand what you said, but... please let me think about it again."
At the end of the conversation between the two just now, although Delphi even agreed to the so-called "opportunity", Hermione didn't even ask what the opportunity was, and left the bathroom only saying "consider again".
As a result, Delphi was the only one left in the dark and cold bathroom.
After Hermione left, she sighed softly while looking at her other self in the mirror. But then, she suddenly looked over her shoulder in the mirror and looked at the toilet cubicle behind.
"Hi, may I ask if you haven't heard enough? To be honest, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit!"
Is there anyone else in this bathroom?
After Delphi's voice echoed slightly and gradually settled down, she saw a milky white figure suddenly penetrated through the door panel of the third compartment and came to the washroom leisurely. in the middle of the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to eavesdrop... In fact, this place was originally my territory. St. Mungo's therapist and many patients in the spell injury department know this."
That's right, it was a wizard ghost dressed in an old-fashioned way, and his expression looked a little melancholy, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
But hearing what the other party said, Delphi immediately shook his head.
"Even the dean of St. Mungo's can't say that this is his territory. How dare you say that?" She retorted casually, and then said, "Anyway, can you tell me who you are first?"
"Uh, it seems that you really don't know me?" The ghost suddenly felt a little disappointed, "Then, well... I am Bowen Elliott, the only patient of St. Mungo's who drowned himself in the sewer Oh, please, don't remind me of this embarrassment again!"
In fact, Elliott, the sewer ghost, is quite famous in the British wizarding world.
Although it certainly cannot be said to be a household name, any child who was sick or injured when they were young will often be warned by the nurse sister to follow the doctor's orders carefully during the hospitalization period with the wonderful reality of this ghost.
It is said that in addition to the title "Sewer Ghost", Elliott is often called "soft ghost".
In the last month of his life, he was hit by a wrong spell, and his whole body was turned into a pile of limp meat, and he was sent to St. Mungo's in a sack.
To be honest, this is a rather troublesome serious illness, which was treated by the dean at the time himself.
However, when he regained his human form with great difficulty, he ignored some precautions that the dean had repeatedly instructed. I went to the bathroom to go to the toilet during the time when there was a possibility of relapse, and then inadvertently flushed myself into the sewer and drowned alive.
Of course, there are occasional rumors that he was actually stink to death, because he always showed an extremely gloomy expression when the cause of his death was mentioned.
Yes, as it is now.
"Die in the sewer?"
"Oh, don't make me explain, I don't want to mention that at all!"
Under the resentful and depressed eyes of Mr. Elliott, Delphi immediately turned around and shook his head.
"No, there's no need to explain, I don't really want to hear it." She thought for a while, "Then... I'm sorry, but I have to use an oblivion spell on you. I think you can understand—just now My conversation with Miss Granger is actually very important, especially at this time."
"Forgetting the Curse? No... don't you need it?"
Seeing the beautiful young witch in front of him, Ghost Elliott took out his wand so quickly, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"I promise, I won't tell anyone a word!"
After all, he wanted to turn back and get into the cubicle again. When Delphi saw it, he immediately waved his wand to add a magical barrier to the door of the toilet cubicle.
Immediately, Elliott bumped into it in a very embarrassing situation, and was unable to penetrate through it as usual.
"Oh, no! Don't come here, I can't remember what you said! Besides, if you accidentally delete more of my memory, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I'm very proficient in using the Oblivion Curse, and nothing like that will happen." While Delphi was speaking, the wand in his hand was already aimed at Etriu's position.
"Forget everything!"
Generally speaking, spells that cause physical effects on the target are ineffective against ghosts, but such spells that act on the spiritual level, for life or non-life objects that exist purely in spirit like ghosts, On the contrary, the effect is very good.
Elliott couldn't even make any decent evasion or resistance, and was hit by Delphi's Forgetting Curse in a daze, easily erasing the conversation with Hermione just now.
No way, for Delphi, the previous series of conversations were almost all important, and she might not want the third person to know—even if this "third person" is actually a ghost.
Seeing that the other party was being hit by the curse, and looked around blankly, Delphi nodded in satisfaction.
...
At the same time, in Luna's ward on the other side.
"Squeak—"
With an inaudible sound, Hermione, who had just returned from the bathroom, gently opened the door, then tiptoed past the little friends laying on the floor, and came to Luna's hospital bed again.
But just when she was thinking about Delphi's previous persuasion and proposal, a voice suddenly sounded in the quiet ward.
"Hermione, it's so late, where did you go just now?"
It was Ron who spoke—even though it was dark in the ward and everyone was lying down and sleeping, she was obviously very familiar with Ron's voice.
"Well, I just went to the bathroom." Hermione said casually, "Go to sleep! No one knows what will happen tomorrow, so don't think too much about it while you still have time to sleep well." gone."
"Then you haven't slept yet?" Ron lowered his voice so as not to disturb others' sleep, "Hermione, to be honest, I really can't help it."
"I can't help but go to the bathroom quickly, what are you still lying there holding back?"
"Oh! No, I'm not talking about going to the bathroom!"
Ron felt that he couldn't tell if Hermione was joking, because he could hear that there was no half smile in the other's tone.
"I'm just because many people are a little panic-stricken-I even went to the lower floors for a walk during the day, and I feel that whether it is a therapist or a patient, such a life is very difficult. That's why I feel a little bit unbearable I want to do something."
Hearing Ron say this, Hermione couldn't help being startled, and then frowned rather distressed.
"Do you even want to go out..."
Not only Delphi, but now another Ron happened to mention such a sentence, which made Hermione very confused. Isn't Luna's point of view correct, is it best to do what you want to do?
Pursing her lips slightly, Hermione finally sighed secretly again.
"Anyway, go to bed first!" She said to Ron, "Even if you have any ideas, we can talk about them tomorrow—everyone is still asleep!"
After saying this, Hermione stopped digging into the corner, picked up the blanket that Maca had covered herself with earlier, wrapped herself up, and then continued to lie on the edge of Luna's hospital bed and closed her eyes.
Not far away, Ron, who was lying on the ground, muttered in a voice that no one could hear clearly, and then he curled up and tried to urge himself to fall asleep again.
As Hermione said, who knows what accidents will happen tomorrow? Let's get some more sleep while you can still sleep normally!
And it was at this moment that Delphi, who was left in the bathroom by Hermione, opened the door and walked in. After glancing at Hermione who was lying on the side of the hospital bed, he closed the door silently, returned to the armchair in the corner of the ward and fell asleep.
