Today's meal was particularly rich.
At this moment, I don’t know where the multi-handed zombie cook got all the ingredients, and she just covered the table in front of everyone. Char-grilled steaks, freshly boiled potatoes, piles of fruitwood bacon sausages in the dining basin, a bowl of peas mixed with butter and honey for each person, and even four large turkeys with their skin roasted until crispy and oily. The center of the table.
Ron thought it must be a frozen turkey, because the meat quality was not as good as fresh turkey after all. But you must know that in this disaster land full of ruins, it is already a blessing from Merlin that you can still eat such delicacies that are not inferior to those in the past.
However, if something is abnormal, you must be vigilant - these days, everyone knows that the living corpse lady likes to study cooking, and her learning ability is really good, and she is always improving. But no matter what, at least Hermione, Hannah and others felt that the other party was not capable of making such a table of rich and authentic delicacies.
Just as I was thinking thoughtfully, the dinner gradually came to an end.
They originally thought that the Lord of the Living Corpses would show up and take his seat in the middle of the meal, just like the dinner not long ago, and would say something in that unpredictable manner again. But who knows, at first the zombie girl Bai Ye said that she would meet everyone in the main hall after the meal, which seemed to be true.
Hermione drank the last bit of juice in the cup, put down the cup, picked up the napkin, wiped her mouth, and placed the napkin casually on the edge of the table. Then, she, who was the first to finish her meal, pursed her lips slightly and sat there in a daze.
"Hermione?" Harry called her softly.
When Hermione heard the sound, she quickly came to her senses and shook her head at him.
"It's okay, you guys eat slowly, I'm just thinking about something."
"Oh," Harry paused, glanced at the steak on the plate in front of him, and then simply put down his knife and fork, "I'm hungry, but I can't really eat... not to mention, tonight's meal It’s so rich all of a sudden, there must be something going on here.”
"At least there shouldn't be anything wrong with the food itself, right?" Hermione smiled, but it was obviously a bit forced, and the dryness made her heart feel heavier.
Harry also roughly knew what Hermione meant. He nodded, shook his head, and then stopped talking.
Not long after, everyone also finished their meal one after another. Of course, the food on the long table could not be finished, but no one paid attention to it. They just looked at Hermione and Lupin who were lost in thought. They sat in their seats and did not move for a while.
A few minutes later, Hermione and Lupine looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly:
"Let's go!"
Originally, Lu Ping didn't think too deeply about the "good news" that the Lord of the Living Corpses wanted to announce, but after seeing the unusual sumptuousness of the dinner, he couldn't allow him not to think more about it. .
After saying something to Hermione, he thought for a while, then turned his head and looked at the Blois family sitting not far away.
"Mr. Blois, everyone... do you want to wait here?"
Although these family wizards from the Blois family followed along the way, it was obvious that they did not have to see the Lord of the Living Corpses. Or at least, they can have their own choice.
However, Mr. Rocky Blois hardly thought about it after hearing what he said. After hearing Lupine's words, he immediately shook his head.
"Let's go together!" He said calmly, "Since Miss asked us to follow, we must meet the owner of this place."
After saying this, Rocky turned to give a few simple instructions to his subordinates. Immediately afterwards, most of the family wizards headed by him stood up and stood in the open space beside the long table. It seemed that these people were going to follow Lupine and Hermione.
Here, Hermione saw that everyone seemed to be ready, and then together with Lupine, they finally turned their attention to Snape, who was sitting alone at the other end of the long table. However, he saw that Snape was still eating the food on his plate slowly. He put the last bite of beef into his mouth, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, took another sip of wine, and then wiped his mouth and backed away. The chair stood up, and then only glanced at Rocky from the Blois family, then turned around and walked towards the door.
Hermione and Lupine were ignored by the other party from beginning to end, but they were not angry. They only had headaches and worries at the moment.
"Follow me quickly!" Lupine whispered.
"Um."
Hermione and Harry nodded, and together with Lupin and the others, they hurriedly chased Snape, who was already talking to himself and taking the lead. Behind them, the family wizards of the Blois family who had already prepared for the attack naturally followed up immediately under the leadership of Rocky.
Today, several groups of people gather together in Buckingham Palace, and the number of people is actually quite large. And there is no doubt that these are the elites who now dare to take the lead in this disaster.
But at this moment, walking in the corridor of this huge palace, it still seems a little lonely.
…
Bai Ye did not have dinner with Hermione and the others tonight. After accompanying everyone to the restaurant, she did not follow them in.
But she didn't leave casually, but just waited outside the door. Because after Hermione and others finished their meal, she was also responsible for taking them to the main hall to meet the owner.
This must be a happy thing for her, because even she rarely has the opportunity to see the owner on weekdays. Moreover, given her ability, it was difficult for her to do anything for her master. Apart from the lighting work every day from dusk until dawn the next day, the only task she could do was to lead the way like today.
But no matter how small the matter is, as long as it can help the master, it would be great.
"Mr. Snape... and Miss Granger, please wait here for a moment while I go and ask first."
We have arrived at the foyer. The place is still the same as before. The cold-faced boy, one of the twins, is still waiting sullenly on the side of the hall door. He doesn't seem to have a good look on anyone who comes here.
But today is different, because the master has given instructions in advance that he will personally meet with these human wizards in the palace to discuss important matters.
Seeing Bai Ye walking towards this side, the young man didn't say anything. He just raised his hand to signal Bai Ye to wait. Then he turned around and walked to the palace door, reaching out and slowly pushing the door open.
After the palace door was completely opened, he turned back slightly and said bluntly:
"The master is in the palace, please come with me."
