Chapter 58 What kind of person is this?

Of course you can go out, as long as you work overtime to complete the task and there is a friend outside the door who keeps knocking on it.

Although Professor Snape's face was very dark, Della didn't care about the overtime and sarcasm that followed. She just climbed onto Leah's arm affectionately and went for a walk with her.

"Your adoptive father looks really strict." Leah said casually on the way.

"It's not about being strict or not, he has always been like this. I think my status as a student is more than an adopted daughter now." Maggie slid twice around her neck, and Della devoted her attention to caressing her.

"That sounds responsible, which is not bad." Leah led Della to the fork in the road and looked around before slowly turning into an alley.

"Yes, he is a good teacher." Della followed him in, looking around the alley full of debris. She didn't have the habit of touching everything she went to, so after taking a few quick glances, she quickly took a few steps and followed Leah.

"Where are we going today?"

"I'll take you around Spider Alley and look for treasure while you're at it."

"Treasure hunt?"

"Yes, treasure hunting. This is the treasure I have hidden for two or three years." Leah paused for a moment, and looked at Della with his deep brown eyes. "It's strange. I don't know why I brought you with me. I just wanted to do this in my heart."

"......" Della looked carefully into Leah's deep and bright eyes. She blinked twice and suddenly laughed, "This is probably because I have some magic, Leah."

Staring at her, Leah also smiled, and her hand smoothly touched Della's soft long hair. "Let's go, little girl. My treasure is hidden in many places. I hope you have the magic to make today go a little smoother."

"I can hear you treat me like a child, but it doesn't matter," Maggie, who was behind Della's hair, rushed out and climbed up Leah's arm to her shoulders, "I will always have this miracle."

"Now, I have also encountered this miracle. Hmm - it's really corny to say this." Leah seemed to shudder, and then laughed to herself, "Soon, I will find my first treasure."

Even though she had guessed it in her heart, Della couldn't help but stare sideways when she saw Leah taking out sealed small bills and coins from various corners.

"Didn't they say they didn't dare go to your house? Why do you hide it in such small pieces?" Della couldn't help but ask when Leah pulled out another banknote from the crack in the wall.

"When faced with foreseeable benefits, they will always take risks," Leah said as she broke the seal on the banknote and put the already crisp banknote into her pocket, "Besides, the enemy always likes to destroy a person's hope in the end."

"..." Della was silent for a moment, she narrowed her eyes, and finally sighed and spoke, "Leah, I have to say, my first thought was that they were so stupid, and that was so arrogant."

"After all, I'm facing you. Obviously, Leah is not someone who can be easily controlled." Della tilted her head in response to Leah's gaze. She didn't make any extra expressions, but just slightly widened her eyes. "Then I realized that my thoughts were also quite arrogant."

"Why did you say that? You know that's not something people would like to hear." Leah looked at her steadily.

Della didn't answer immediately. She looked at Leah and smiled again, "Because I know what kind of person you are, Leah."

Della knew clearly that their friendship might only exist for a few days. The short-lived nature of this friendship did not mean that they were just playing around, but that Della could see that Leah was very independent and had a strong sense of boundaries.

"You don't have to say those two words so quickly, but I'm glad you're willing to let me know what kind of person you are." Leah shrugged and laughed.

"Then let's continue looking for treasure?" Della tilted her head.

"There's no rush—"

"I found you! Leah!"

Leah's words were interrupted by a loud shout from a distance. The "Crich" she was talking about was followed by four or five younger brothers, who were pointing at them. As soon as they saw Della and the others turn their heads, they immediately ran towards them, shouting loudly as they ran.

"No matter what happens today, I won't let you get away!"

Leah didn't waste any time. She reacted quickly, picked up Della and started running. However, they were now in a winding alley. Even if Leah was familiar with the place, the constant turning took her a lot of effort, not to mention that she was holding Della in her hands.

Seeing the ferocious face getting closer and closer from behind and Leah's breathing getting faster and faster above her head, Della tightened her grip on Maggie's hand.

I didn't feel Snape's gaze today, but if I continue like this I will definitely be caught.

Della was aware of this clearly, but she did not bring her wand with her. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to use her eyes in front of Leah.

Wandless magic, if only I had practiced wandless magic earlier...

Della pursed her lips unconsciously. Her throat felt dry. In her heart, she had already accepted the option of using her eyes. Even if she had to use them on Leah once later, she had to let Leah go where she wanted to go.

"Hiss (Dela)——"

Maggie called Della's name softly, and he gently circled Della's neck, "Hiss-hashi-ya (You really don't have that intention)?"

Maggie's words made Della sober and dazed again. At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down infinitely. She was suddenly freed from all the dark emotions in her heart, but was also pulled into the distant past by Maggie's words.

In a trance, she returned to the scene of her first magical riot.

At that time, she was still very young and had not yet used her eyes. She was silent and did not receive care from the adults in the orphanage. The children were always fighting over the few things they had, and she was always hungry.

It was Maggie who quietly brought her fruits time and time again, and each time taught her not to fight or compete. But when she resisted, she would take Maggie's fruits, but she might not necessarily listen to Maggie's words.

Until one day when she was discovered eating fruit, the tall children seemed dissatisfied with her eating alone and surrounded her in the corner.

At that time, Maggie, who was hiding behind her, also hissed in the same way. His voice was soft, but it carried the temptation of the giant snake in Eden.

The moment her hand reached in front of her eyes, she stared at the cardboard box on the cabinet next to her.

Cardboard boxes fluttered down and the children ran away screaming, but she, who was curled up in the corner, was not hurt at all.

In the midst of the chaos, all she could hear was Maggie's faint voice:

“Hai-shiha-shia (You can do it if you will, Della).”

As long as I have the will...

Della's somewhat scattered eyes slowly focused. She tilted her head to look at the boy who was getting closer and closer behind her. Her eyes became deeper and deeper, and then she silently recited a spell.

"The wind is blowing wildly."

The sound of rustling wind sounded in the ears of the two. The wind gently blew up Leah and Della's hair, but it knocked over Crich and his group.

The sounds of falls and groans came one after another behind him. Leah paused. He turned his head and looked at Krich and the others a few meters away in surprise. They stood up again and again, but were blown down by the strong wind again and again, and finally fled in panic.

Just like they had done countless times before at the lake.

But this place is quite far from the lake.

"Is there a shelter for good children here?"

Della's voice pulled Leah out of her confusion. She slowly let go of Della and stopped dwelling on it. "Maybe. I'm really lucky today."

"Maybe I really do have some magic that can make things go smoothly." Della smiled.

"Yes, yes." Leah laughed twice. She responded to Della's words, and a bit of tenderness overflowed from her brown eyes as she looked at her.

When the pink and purple sunset filled the sky, Leah slowly sent Della to the door of Snape's house. They said goodbye to each other and agreed to meet again the next day. But before leaving, Della put Maggie on Leah's shoulders.

Tonight, after Leah rested, the little snake would bring his companions to the boys and make them afraid to bother Leah for the rest of the days.

Della was bent over her small desk, thinking about her vague memories from the past while carving runes on the metal.

Not only the first magic riot, she also remembered how she used her eyes for the first time under Maggie's guidance when she was a child, and how she disguised herself under his guidance to adapt to the external hypnosis of the eyes.

What kind of person are you and what are your wishes?

Is this what Maggie wants?
