Delphi finally left.

It was said that we were setting off in the evening, but the clouds were so thick that hardly any light could penetrate. We could only estimate whether the sun had already set towards the western horizon.

But she still left the Burrow on time at dusk and headed east alone.

And after that, not long after, the sky really got dark.

"Hermione, dinner is ready - all the supporting wizards have already eaten." Hannah walked in from outside, looked at Hermione sitting on the sofa in the middle and said, "How about we also have dinner? Neville today

and Harry worked extra hard, I think they must have been hungry already."

"Um?"

Hearing Hannah speak, Hermione came back from her deep thoughts. After being slightly startled, Hermione nodded and said:

"Oh, yes! Let's get started...wait until I call them back."

Before she finished speaking, she took out the wand from her sleeve and waved her finger gently at a napkin on the coffee table in front of her. Immediately, she saw the napkin folded up and turned into a little bird in the living room.

Li flapped his wings and spun around, and soon flew out of the gate behind Hannah.

Then, Hermione put away her wand, stood up, and greeted softly:

"Let's go prepare Miss Hohenheim's share first and send it to her! I'm going too, and I just wanted to ask her a question."

"Okay." Hannah nodded immediately.

…

Ever since Sarah activated her alchemy formation that supported the protective barrier, she had almost never come down from the attic of this burrow. Either she was on the roof enjoying the wind and watching the scenery, or she would go back to the attic.

Rest and sleep.

In fact, she certainly didn't stay on it just because she liked it.

Unlike the rune formation, although the alchemy formation does not require a magic source to continuously provide a large amount of magic power, in order to maintain its normal operation, someone must use spiritual power to maintain a stable connection with it.

For Sarah, this is not too difficult, and she can maintain this spiritual connection even if she is far away.

However, since as long as she is closer to the core of the formation, the consumption will be smaller, so why should she run around? What's more, if an enemy attacks from the periphery, she can find the opponent faster by staying next to the formation.

But it’s something that accomplishes multiple things with one stone!

Although it is somewhat boring to stay in one place all the time, Sarah is not an ordinary person... It can even be said that she is not "a human" at all.

"Click... click... click..."

When Hermione and Hannah came to the stairs leading to the attic with their meal baskets, they heard strange noises coming from above.

"Are you making alchemy dolls again?"

Hermione thought about it and suddenly recalled the scene she saw when she first arrived at Winchester Cathedral.

But just when she paused to think about it, the voice stopped.

"Hermione?" Sarah's voice suddenly came down from the attic, "Come up quickly! I will close the door and do some experiments in a while, and you won't be able to get in by then."

After the words fell, Hermione and Hannah looked at each other, and then the two of them creaked up the slightly narrow stairs one after another.

The small door to the attic was ajar. There seemed to be no lights inside, and it was dark when viewed through the crack in the door.

Hermione, who was walking in front, immediately stretched out her hand to push the door open, bent slightly and lowered her head before getting in.

"Oh, sorry."

Sarah inside suddenly apologized, and then a candle light came on from a certain corner, bringing a glimmer of light that was not very bright into the dark attic.

It was only then that Sarah's figure gradually came into the eyes of Hermione and Hannah who came in later.

It can be seen that the space in this attic is actually not small, but now it is mostly covered by the formation of the alchemical barrier. As for Sarah, she is currently playing with a bunch of things in the corner lit by candlelight.

Materials, and next to her is a ladder leading to the roof.

"Is this today's dinner?" Hearing Hermione and the others coming up, Sarah turned her head and saw her looking at the dinner basket in Hannah's hand and saying, "Oh, the aroma of the cheese is already gone.

It floated over to me."

"Oh, yes, cheesecake today -"

As soon as food was mentioned, Hannah's energy immediately rose. He saw her carrying the meal basket and carefully walking around the only open space next to the formation on the floor, and then placed the basket directly in front of Sarah.

.

When the latter saw this, he did not let down Hannah's enthusiasm at all. He immediately put the things on hand into the pile of materials, turned around and stretched his hand towards the lid of the meal basket.

Now, after acquiring some emotions that only normal humans can have, Sarah has regarded daily meals as a hobby to enjoy emotions. Even though her body does not actually need to get food from food.

You can absorb nutrients and survive for a long time.

Hermione, who was still standing by the door, saw that both of them were so interested in the dinner. For a moment, she didn't want to disturb Sarah's meal, and she temporarily swallowed some of the words that had risen to her throat.

go back.

But at this moment, Sarah, who was enjoying the meatloaf carefully cooked by Hannah with a fork, suddenly raised her head again and said vaguely:

"Hermione, what do you want to ask me? Just tell me directly...after all, in the past few days, you will only come to the attic when you need to see me for something."

"Oh no, I, it's not——"

When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but want to explain, but Sarah immediately shook her fork and interrupted her:

"It's okay, I don't mean anything else... I know you are very busy and you need to make decisions on many things, so don't worry about it. I just want to ask you if you have anything to do with me."

"Uh, um." Hermione pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, then waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's wait until you finish eating first!"

"All right!"

Sarah shrugged and said nothing more, just happily consuming the remaining dinner bit by bit.

It has to be said that after Harry went to Granger Camp and brought so many people over, the supplies at the Burrow were more fully replenished. Therefore, the food for everyone was finally no longer what it was before.

So shabby.

In addition, Hermione also wanted to reward everyone, so everyone ate pretty well in the past two days.

After Hannah put away the tableware again, Hermione walked around and came to Sarah's side.

"I'm sorry, I only come here to see you when I need it. It seems very rude. And this time, I do have some questions that I want to discuss with you." Hermione said.
