harry potter book of crimes

In the past few days after living back in Buckingham Palace, everyone actually felt a little strange.

Take Hermione for example! In the past two days, in addition to making various preparations for the next battle and visiting Ron and Harry regularly, she would occasionally leave the palace and go for a walk outside.

have a look.

The living zombie colony that I saw in the south has become somewhat presentable. A group of high-level zombies headed by the girl in the twins began to lead a group of middle and low-level people to settle there, making that area actually...

It has a bit more flavor of life.

And precisely because Hermione went back there for a walk from time to time, in a few days, she actually got to know a few more high-level zombies. Although they were definitely not so-called "friends", after all, most of the zombies were still...

They don't know human language, but they can barely communicate with each other even by making gestures and guessing.

"...They seem to like the night more, and they gather in an old park every evening. I met a new little girl there last night - she can't speak much, but she seems to be quite willing to get close to me. I plan to

Try to 'talk' to her again tonight."

During lunch time, Hermione was chewing dry buttery cereal cakes while talking to Hannah about these little things. Finally, she added with some hesitation:

"To be honest, it was only after I really got in touch with them that I discovered that they are actually very simple in their hearts... There are good intentions and malicious intentions, but they are almost all straightforward. It makes me feel... that they are indeed all new students.

life. This feeling is wonderful, and I don’t know why, but it always makes me a little bit hard to let go.”

It's obviously not surprising that Hermione would feel this way. The living corpses that she thought were bound to be enemies suddenly not only had a common enemy from one day, but also gradually became able to interact peacefully. This kind of contradiction

Everyone would find the change quite incredible.

But, can these living corpses really be counted as a kind of "life"?

Although in the words she just said, Hermione had actually subconsciously regarded them as an existence equal to herself. But if she thought about it carefully, these living corpses were born out of human corpses, but were already completely different from humans. It seemed that

It completely lacks all the characteristics of the so-called "biological things" in people's common sense.

They have no concept of reproduction, and there is no death in the true sense. Even wisdom is given by "people".

However, recently Hermione has seen their lives, and the expressions on the faces of many of them who have opened up their wisdom. They can cry, laugh, and get angry. Some high-level zombies even

They all began to clean themselves and put on new clothes.

Just like the little girl last night, she seemed to like the jeans Hermione was wearing and had been secretly staring at them for a long time.

"They are all alive!"

After these few days of contact, Hermione felt this way more and more.

"Of course, I will never forget that every living corpse that can communicate with me is, without exception, an individual that has evolved to a high level. Even the girl who made people feel timid and weak last night, her

Even a small body contains dangerous power that can be fatal."

After several purposeful gatherings, most of the high-level zombies in southern England have been gathered in London. Even though there are very few zombies that can evolve to high-level, the base is there after all.

, coupled with deliberate cultivation, there are now a large number of high-level living corpses in London.

To be honest, if the living zombie clan suddenly turns against them and takes action, the outcome will definitely be quite bad.

The reason why everyone can live here relatively peacefully now is mainly because everyone is now roughly sure that the so-called "Lord of the Living Corpses" is Maka - for Hermione and others, if even Maka

If they can't be trusted, then what can they trust?

It is because of this that Safina and Sarah, the only two doubters, have never disclosed some of their ideas and discoveries.

"Okay," Hermione put the last bite of cake in her hand into her mouth, swallowed it with water, then clapped her hands and stood up, "You guys eat slowly, I'm going back to the room first... Hannah

, remember to come to me with Luna in the afternoon, the research progress of the new formation has been a bit slow."

"Oh, okay."

Hannah nodded and watched Hermione leave the restaurant, then turned her head and looked at Neville beside her apologetically.

"Sorry, you should go spend time with Harry and Ron this afternoon!"

"I know, it's okay."

Neville smiled very understandingly, a bit shyly. Only at this time can people be reminded of the honest and clumsy Neville Longbottom.

Then, Hannah also showed a nostalgic smile.

It's a pity that even such a small warmth is now too luxurious, so luxurious that the young couple dare not savor it for too long. Soon, Hannah and Neville, who were looking at each other, hurriedly looked away and looked away randomly.

They finished the dry food in their hands, then patted the crumbs and got up and left together.

"Miss Geofine, Miss Hohenheim, just put your plates there after you finish your meal. I'll put them away when I get back from Ron later."

Before going out, Hannah specially said something to Safina, who was sitting by the window eating alone.

"Well."

Safina responded casually, and when she heard the sound of the door closing behind her, she put down the goblet in her hand, looked at the leftover grilled lamb chops in front of her and shook her head.

"What do you think?"

Sarah, who was sitting opposite her, waved her hand casually when she heard this.

"They just want to stay vigilant, which is a good thing."

Yes, compared to Hermione and Hannah, Safina and Sarah's lunch was not sumptuous, but it was obviously much better.

In fact, this is true, because it has been a short time since the last replenishment of supplies. For Hermione and the others who went deep into the disaster area to fight the demons, the food allocated by Bill was not shabby, so it was far from being frugal enough to eat dry food every day.

day time.

As Sarah said, in order to maintain a sufficiently tense wartime state during the rest period after the war, Hermione and the others chose to be strict with themselves in terms of diet and sleep schedule. Except for Ron and Harry

For these two patients, most of the others voluntarily maintained a simple life.

However, Sarah and Safina were obviously not involved.

"But at least I don't need it," Sarah shrugged. "Eating rare delicacies used to be like chewing candles. Now that I can finally enjoy this beauty, why should I give it up... Hmm

?Don't look at me like that, I actually tasted the candle - now that I think about it, it actually tastes pretty good."
