harry potter book of crimes

Outside London, darkness gradually filled the sky and the earth, accompanied by occasional low growls and whimpering sounds from the distance, announcing that the night was coming, which was more dangerous than the day.

However, this night has nothing to do with the current city of London.

The magic flame rising from the square is 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 where multiple demons work together, at least they are very

I know clearly that rushing here alone will not lead to any good results.

Fortunately, it is rare for demons to get together like the previous "anger" and "arrogance". Therefore, 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 was standing at the door of the front hall, raising her wrist to look at the time and muttering to herself in a low voice. To be honest, she was actually not completely sure about the other party's appointment, even if it was just in the afternoon.

By then the other party had already agreed to her invitation.

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 them.

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!"

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 each step almost touched the same point, which made people listen.

It felt very strange.

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, bowed and saluted. "In the evening.

Okay, Miss Granger..."

Just as she was talking, she saw the girl take out an old pocket watch from her arms, open the cover with a "ding" sound and then remain 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 make an 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 in many details.

"Uh, thank you... Of course, I also thank you both for being willing to come and enjoy our dinner together tonight." Hermione smiled, and then nodded towards the obviously more petite girl behind her, "We have another

We met."

"Good evening, Miss Human."

The little girl gently pulled the back of the robe of the Gemini girl in front of her and said hello in a low voice. I don't know if it was because she was introverted and shy, or just simply not used to communicating with humans... Or maybe it was just because she wasn't very good at it yet.

She is good at human language. In short, she looks timid.

And right next to the little girl, the third guest of today's dinner is the living corpse of a man - he did not change into neater and more beautiful clothes like many of his kind, but still wore the clothes of a low-level period.

Tattered 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 look away, Hermione knew that the other party was actually one of the few living corpses who was willing to take the initiative.

The individual she communicated with. When she first tried to contact the zombie group, she was helped by this sloppy zombie!

"Anyway, please!"

After saying a few simple words, Hermione then turned to the side and led the three "guests" to the stairs. However, when passing by the corridor, she subconsciously glanced towards the main hall door and said

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,

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 in this way, Hermione did not speak any more and just led the three of them up the stairs to the second floor. After turning a corner, she led them to the door of the restaurant not long after.

Maybe 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 it was obvious that those two people

I'm afraid that after she left, she turned around and went back to the restaurant.

"Crack."

She stretched out her hand 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

It was a pity to find that there was not much expression on their faces.

On the other side, when the girl saw Hermione turning around, she immediately nodded slightly and said:

"The smell is very fragrant. It looks like this dinner will be delicious."

"Thank you...Hannah and Luna will definitely be very happy to hear you say that." Hermione heard 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 spend a lot of thought and effort on the food for today's meal, the point is not here after all. So even if it is difficult for living corpses to purely enjoy the delicious food, at least there are other preparations

Waiting!

"Please...oh, Neville, you're here...take 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 working around here, it would be better to bring them to Harry and Ron first.

The meal is ready.

"Oh, Sarah has already gone for me - she said she would like to see Ron to adjust the details of the alchemy prosthetic limb, and she will be down soon."

Neville put down what he was doing and said loudly.
