Chapter 1305 The Bathroom for 5 People
"...Miss Fisher...?"
Delphi's "Father" was so low that only Maca on the hospital bed heard it. But then the movement she made when she stood up suddenly woke up Hermione who was lying on the edge of the bed.
"what happens?"
Hermione looked at the corner where Delphi was by the starlight between the curtains. It can be seen that the former is standing there with his eyes slightly dazed at the moment, and only slightly shakes his head after a while.
"It's okay, it was just a nightmare."
Although I don't know if Delphi is really just having a nightmare, but the "Dad" just now really startled Maca - there was an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, as if the whole plan had gone too smoothly so far Oh, he just thought he woke up and was discovered!
You know, even if he immediately gathers up his newly active magic power after waking up, after all, there will still be some momentary magic power fluctuations leaked.
Fortunately, that seemed to be just a misunderstanding, and Delphi might really just be dreaming about something.
"Miss Fisher..." Maca was thinking with her eyes closed, when Hermione said, "Since it's a nightmare, you probably won't be able to sleep for a while? I think we might as well Go out for a walk and find a place to say a few words, what do you think?"
These two girls belonged to different ages, and they actually went out to talk alone when he was not around?
Not long after, Maka, who was still pretending to be Luna and pretended to be dead on the hospital bed, opened her eyes after hearing the two girls leave the ward one after the other.
That night, everyone seems to have indeed fallen asleep - after all, even if the body is made of iron, as long as they don't take refreshing potions, it is difficult to stay awake for several days.
The number of times of insomnia has increased, and the sense of fatigue has accumulated again and again, and finally everyone has fallen into sleep one by one.
But in order to ensure that no one would wake up in the middle, Maca secretly shook his fingers twice, making the rest of the friends in the ward fall into a deeper sleep.
Yes, Delphi is not in this room right now, and he should not be in St. Mungo's at this point in time. Just pay attention and don't make any big noises. At least casting one or two spells won't be easy. Found.
After waiting for everyone to fall asleep completely, Maca lifted the quilt and got out of bed, quietly walked to the door, opened the door and took a look outside.
Then he discovered that Hermione and Delphine were actually going to the bathroom!
"According to the law that girls usually like to make an appointment to go to the bathroom together..." Thinking of this, Maca immediately shook her head, "No, this is just a prejudice."
Having said that, he immediately disappeared from his figure, and then restrained the fluctuation of magic power and quickly rushed towards the women's bathroom.
Fortunately, although Hermione and the others left earlier than him, they did not leave fast. In a blink of an eye, he rushed into the bathroom first, and then turned over and entered the innermost compartment without saying a word.
"Ok……"
Maca groped a little, and found that Luna, who was covered by the invisibility cloak, was still here, he was finally relieved.
But at the same time, footsteps came from the bathroom door soon.
"It's too late, so let's hide here first.
"
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of closing the door outside the cubicle, and the door of this bathroom was closed.
"Miss Granger, may I ask... why did you come out to me to say something?"
Judging from Delphi's attitude at this time, although her tone and words were very polite, she probably didn't want to talk to Hermione in fact.
After all, there are many things he hides in his heart that he can't tell others.
But……
"Miss Fisher, why don't you just call me by my name like in the past? You, Luna, me... and everyone, haven't you all become 'good friends'?"
Yes, "Luna"... This name has a very special place in the hearts of the three present, including Maca who is hiding in the dark.
Just like Maca, like Hermione, he felt guilty towards Luna. In order to prevent the other party from being in danger, he has not properly dealt with some of his feelings with her in the past few years, and even deliberately kept a certain distance for several periods of time.
And in Hermione's heart, this time Luna used her own life to protect her, otherwise, she might have fallen into the hands of that despicable Hai Erbo by now.
As for Delphi... For her father, she can indeed be cruel, but it doesn't prevent her from feeling guilty about it. It is not an easy task to take someone's life, even if her hands have already been stained with a lot of blood in some future.
"Sorry." Delphine paused, then pursed her lips slightly, "Hermione... I just saw how serious you are, so I subconsciously used a more formal address."
After that, Hermione tested Delphi back and forth for a while in a rather serious manner, and then she finally changed the subject and got to the point.
"I think," she said, "you should have known Maca a long time ago? Then can you tell me something about his past?"
"My 'past'?"
To be honest, Maca really didn't expect Hermione to ask Delphi about this. And after hearing that Delphi didn't refuse, he gradually talked about the old things before he entered Hogwarts.
Just thinking about it for a while, Maca immediately guessed where the past events that Delphi knew came from—it must have been picked and told to him in the future after he really became Delphi's "father". This daughter listened.
And he could also hear that those "stories" Delphi told were not coherent at all, and most of them basically had no beginning and no end.
Maca in the cubicle listened, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
As far as his pair of "cheap parents", a desperate gambler and a money-loving mistress, it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about such nonsense with his young "daughter", right?
But only halfway through, he suddenly frowned and looked to the side, only to find a milky-white figure suddenly appeared from the wall next to him, slowly approaching him.
"?"
Maca turned his head and looked at it, and it was indeed a ghost.
"Shh-"
Immediately, he put his index finger in front of his mouth, and made individual movements towards the other party.
Seeing this, the ghost also looked up and down curiously at him, and then stared at him, as if recognizing Maca's identity.
Oh no, to be precise, he should have recognized the identity of Luna Maka pretended to be.
In fact, in recent days, Luna has become quite famous in St. Mungo's. After Hai Erbo made a fuss outside the door that day, many people saw Maca rushing upstairs with her in his arms.
It's just... Has this little blonde witch recovered? Didn't you hear that she was seriously injured at the time?
For a while, Maca and the Mr. Ghost who came out of the wall stared at each other for a long time. During this period, Maca wanted to stun him several times with a spell, but he was worried that Delphi outside might notice it, so he never did it.
Unknowingly, Delphi outside had talked about several old stories without follow-up, and Maca's attention returned to her small chat with Hermione as time went by.
After about ten minutes, the chat between the two about Maca's past finally came to an end, and Delphi gradually brought the topic to the matter of encouraging Hermione to find Maca.
I heard her seriously say:
"Hermione, according to what you just said, are you... planning to give up completely and follow Mr. McLean's footsteps? But if this is the case, what is the hesitation and anxiety you have shown these two days? What's going on?"
After such a half-stern, half-gentle questioning, Delphi went on to say:
"I still can't let it go in the end... can't I?"
Facing Delphi's words, Hermione hesitated for a moment before stubbornly replying:
"No."
Her "no" seemed to be mixed with a little stiffness, obviously she didn't really think so in her heart. This point, even if Maca didn't look at her expression, she could easily hear it through the door panel.
"So...Delphie told Hermione this?"
Maca didn’t know what expression to use to listen to this—his feelings for Delphi had always been complicated, and this girl really couldn’t be generalized with general concepts of reason and reason. She was a paranoid girl who needed to be treated differently. .
Especially when encountering matters related to his "father", Delphi tends to become more extreme... Perhaps, in the end, the "past events" of her father leaving without saying goodbye had a great impact on her.
"I understand what you said, but... let me think about it again."
After some conversation and repeated hesitation, Hermione still didn't express any opinions on the spot. She neither fully affirmed nor completely denied, as if she herself has been entangled in these questions.
After saying the last "consideration", Maca heard the bathroom door being opened again, and then a series of footsteps gradually drifted away.
Hermione should have left first.
Immediately, Delphi was "alone" in the already dark and deserted bathroom.
Accompanied by a soft sigh, not long after, she suddenly said:
"Hello... Excuse me, haven't you listened enough? I don't think it's a good habit to hide in the dark and eavesdrop on other people's conversations!"
Delphi's words made Maca stunned, but soon he realized that there seemed to be a "person" listening beside him!
