"Don't worry about whether it's for fun or food. Since we're not going to help, just go over there and wait for food... At least don't cause any more trouble for them."
Seeing that Safina wanted to say something more, Sarah came over and simply pulled her away.
"Eh? Why are you leaving now? I still want them to try it!" Hermione waved her wand to make the baking sheet float to the cloth mat aside. She turned around and found that Safina and Sarah had indeed already No longer there, he couldn't help but shrugged slightly.
"What a pity, apple pie is still the most delicious freshly baked!"
As she said this, she cut off a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it twice but couldn't help but wrinkle her face.
"Oh! This apple is a little too sour... Hannah?"
"Well?"
Hannah, who was tinkering with a steamer, turned around when she heard this, stretched out her wand, and waved a little at the apple pie.
Immediately, large swaths of frosting fell down like snow, evenly spread on the pie crust, and seeped into the pie filling bit by bit.
"The problem is with the materials, so we can only remedy it like this... Do you want to try again?"
When it comes to other magic spells, Hermione is definitely better, but when it comes to food magic, only Hannah, a little badger born in Hufflepuff, can do it alone. In this regard, even Luna, who often cooks at home due to family reasons, cannot compare.
"Oh, thanks!"
Hermione smiled gratefully at Hannah, and then started mixing the second pie ingredients again, but this time she knew she should put more syrup and honey in the apple filling.
After a while, Hermione, who had finished making apple pie for several people, finally seemed to notice the passage of time, and quickly turned her wrist to glance at her watch.
"Oops! I think we need to speed up..."
As she said this, she hurriedly turned her head and found that Hannah was indeed the member who had been responsible for everyone's food, and her hands and feet were much more agile than hers. Those ingredients that had been kept for a long time without much use were jumping around under the waving of her wand, and were turned into various delicacies one after another. Even if they couldn't compare with the house elves, I'm afraid they wouldn't. Not much different.
As for Luna on the other side, it seems that she has the habit of talking to herself while cooking, but her speed is not slow at all. What just gave Hermione a little headache was that she seemed to be addicted to making pudding, and now there were three large pots on the table!
"Don't worry," she didn't know if Luna had eyes on the back of her head, but she immediately noticed the surprised look that Hermione cast, and said without looking back while waving her wand, "You can freeze what you can't finish, and we'll eat it later You can eat pudding ice cream anytime, anywhere!”
"Okay!" Hermione shook her head helplessly, looked down at her watch again, then wiped her hands and said, "Anyway, I think I have to go to the door to greet tonight's guests... Oh, no, It seems like we are the guests? Please work harder... Well, Hannah, you have worked hard today."
"It's okay, you can go ahead! Just leave this to me and Luna... The most labor-intensive soups and desserts have already been made. Meat dishes such as steaks and fried chicken legs don't take much time, just a few half-hot and full-heat magic. The curse will be done soon." Hannah reached out to pick up a finger of butter and sucked it, then smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? In fact, I like cooking very much, it's not hard at all. .”
…
Of course there is a kitchen in Buckingham Palace, but the kitchen is a bit far away, so Hermione and the others simply prepared dinner in the dining room. Apparently no one has any problem with this.
"It smells so good... it tastes like cheese."
At the door of the restaurant, Safina, who was talking to Sarah, couldn't help but wrinkled her nose again and took two deep breaths.
"It's not easy to have a sumptuous dinner in this shabby place... I think I should learn those kitchen magic spells later."
"At least in the short term, I'm afraid there won't be that time." Sarah shook her head noncommittally.
"That's right." Safina casually twirled the hair on her cheek, leaning against the door and sighing slightly, "It turns out that even if we notice something, we don't seem to know what to do... This time with 'Angry' The battle has been won, but what will happen next?”
"Don't say it here." Sarah glanced at the closed hall door next to her and waved her hand gently, "But having said that... I'm more curious now about what Delphi is thinking. You see, I think she may not be aware of the things we noticed! However, she did almost nothing."
Of course, Delphi didn't really "did nothing". In the previous battle, she contributed a lot. And Sarah was just saying that Delphi seemed to have no intention of testing the "Lord of the Living Corpses" who was probably Maka. From beginning to end, she was just following the trend.
But this kind of unmovedness actually highlights her high mastery of many details.
Compared to Delphi's low profile, Hermione, who is exactly the opposite, is a good contrasting example - even Hermione has been testing the other party, so naturally there is something very wrong with Delphi's inaction.
"Perhaps we can find an opportunity to talk to her?"
Delphi may not be attending today's dinner, because she has not appeared in front of everyone since she had a simple breakfast in the early morning and visited Ron and Harry one after another. According to Luna, who often wandered around the palace in her spare time, she once saw the other party sitting in a daze on a balcony upstairs in the back, deep in thought.
"Okay, okay." After hearing Safina's suggestion, Sarah thought for a while and then nodded, "But we have to find her first... Maybe when she goes back to her room to rest at night, she can go to the door of her room to intercept Her once?"
"Then let's try it! Let's do it tonight—"
Safina wanted to continue talking, but unexpectedly she heard a soft "click" in her ears, and the hall door was opened immediately. She was leaning against the door and couldn't help but staggered. She moved her legs apart before regaining her balance.
"Oh! Sorry, I didn't know you were leaning against the door..."
Hermione, who was behind the door, stretched out her hand to support him and apologized with an apologetic look on her face. After Safina waved her hand indifferently, she quickly passed between the two of them and went straight to the stairs.
Sarah watched Hermione walk away, then closed the door of the restaurant again, winked at Safina and walked aside.
"Anyway, let's not talk about this right now."
But Sarah and Safina didn't know that Hermione, who was already walking down the stairs on the other side, turned her head slightly and muttered in her heart with some confusion:
"'tonight'?"
