Outside London, darkness gradually filled the sky and earth, and the occasional low growl and whimper from the distance announced that the night was coming, which was more dangerous than the day.
But this night has nothing to do with the current city of London.
The magical flames rising from the square are continuously increasing in brightness as the sky darkens, completely lighting up the entire crystal clear ice city, like a dazzling torch in this dark night.
However, even though it is so eye-catching, those dangerous demons do not want to get close, because they are far less stupid than the fallen "Wrath". Let’s not talk about the situation of multiple demons working together. At least they all know that rushing here alone will definitely not have any good results.
Fortunately, demons rarely get together like the one between Anger and Arrogance. So this night should still be as peaceful as the previous two nights.
Yes, it's as if something is always ready to happen.
"Look at the time, it should be here soon - if they really want to come!"
At this moment, Hermione stood at the door of the front hall, raising her wrist to look at the time and whispering to herself. To be honest, she was not completely sure about the other party's coming to the appointment, even though the other party had agreed to her invitation just in the afternoon.
Those were living corpses, not humans like her. If you really wanted to communicate with them on an equal footing... or even make friends, you definitely couldn't and shouldn't directly impose human ideas and habits on each other.
At least you shouldn't do that in the first place.
"Perhaps she didn't really understand what I meant at that time? Calculating carefully, it seems that the time when she actually started learning English was not that long ago!"
While Hermione was thinking about it, a burst of neat footsteps suddenly came from the square outside. It was as if several people were walking together, but every step they took was almost at the same point, which made people feel very weird.
And soon, when Hermione looked around, she saw three familiar figures walking across the square towards this side.
After a while…
"Miss Granger." The leader was naturally the living corpse of the twin girl. When she walked up the front steps, she stopped slightly and looked at Hermione who came out of the door and bowed and saluted. "Good evening, Miss Granger..."
Just as he was talking, the girl took out an old pocket watch from her arms, opened the cover with a "ding" sound and was silent for a few seconds. After a period of subtle silence, she raised her head again and said:
"... The time is just right, I'm here to keep my appointment with Miss Granger."
With a "click" sound, the watch cover closed, and the girl put the old pocket watch back into her arms, leaving only half of the delicate silver chain, shining brightly on her chest under the light in the square.
I don’t know if she was as rigid as she was when she was still a human, but now as a living corpse, she is indeed very strict and self-disciplined about many details.
"Uh, thank you... Of course, I also want to thank you both for coming to enjoy our dinner together tonight." Hermione smiled, and then nodded towards the obviously more petite girl behind her, "Let's meet again. ”
"Good evening, Miss Human."
The little girl gently pulled the back of the robe of the Gemini girl in front of her and whispered hello. I don't know if it's because I'm introverted and shy, or if I'm just not used to communicating with humans... Or maybe it's just because I'm not very good at human language. All in all, she seemed timid.
And right next to the little girl, the third guest of today's dinner is a living corpse of a man - he did not change into neater and more beautiful clothes like many of his kind, but still wore the tatters of the lower-class period. Clothes are the kind that people with mysophobia would definitely not be willing to get close to.
However, the person Hermione personally proposed to invite today was naturally not the kind of living corpse that was difficult to communicate with. Despite his sloppy appearance that made people stay away from each other, Hermione knew that he was actually one of the few living corpses who was willing to take the initiative to communicate with her. The first time she tried to contact the zombie group, it was thanks to the help of this sloppy zombie!
"Anyway, please!"
After saying a few simple words, Hermione then turned aside and led the three "guests" to the stairs. Just when passing by the corridor, I subconsciously glanced towards the main hall door and said casually:
"By the way, your brother should still be there, right? Do you want to invite him to join you?"
"No, no need, Miss Granger." The girl shook her head decisively, "I have asked him before, but in fact, he doesn't like this kind of party, so you should know the answer... Of course, then In addition, there are tasks given by the master, so he will not leave his post without permission."
"Oh, what a sorry answer."
After responding like this, Hermione did not speak any more and just led the three of them up the stairs to the second floor. After turning a corner, he led them to the door of the restaurant not long after.
Perhaps it was because he met Safina and Sarah when he went downstairs and overheard something, so now he couldn't help but glance left and right as he walked. But obviously, those two people probably turned around and went back to the restaurant after she left.
"Crack."
He reached out and turned the doorknob to open the closed door. In an instant, a strong aroma of cheese poured out from inside. While taking a deep sniff, Hermione briefly looked back at the three zombie guests, but she could only find with some regret that there were no big expressions on their faces.
On the other side, when the girl saw Hermione turning around, she immediately nodded slightly and said:
"It smells delicious. It looks like this dinner will be delicious."
"Thank you... Hannah and Luna will definitely be very happy to hear you say that." Hermione listened to the other party's compliments that were not rude at all, and could only use such clichés to deal with it.
Fortunately, although they did put a lot of thought and effort into the food for today's meal, the focus was not there after all. So even if it’s difficult for living corpses to purely enjoy delicious food, at least there are other preparations waiting for you!
"Please... Oh, Neville, you're here... Give some food to Harry and Ron first!"
As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, Hermione saw Neville who was helping Hannah. However, the various dishes and desserts were obviously almost finished. Instead of busying around here, it would be better to bring food to Harry and Ron first.
"Oh, Sarah has already gone for me - she said she would like to see Ron to adjust the details of the alchemy prosthesis and she will be down in a moment."
Neville put down what he was doing and said loudly.
