Buckingham Palace late at night, like most other large buildings, will not have more words to describe except "open" and "dark".

In the previous period occupied by halbo, there were some dark magical creatures such as Dementors wandering in the interior of the building, and all kinds of living corpses had not been forbidden to enter the palace without permission. At that time, there may be another "terrible" to describe.

But now, since the Lord of the corpse came to live, the grateful, worshipping and even fanatical high-level corpses have voluntarily given up the whole palace out of their deep respect.

Coupled with the "London icicle incident" not long ago, not to mention Buckingham Palace, even the whole city of London rarely sees "living creatures".

During the day, it's even more silent at night. Only occasionally, there is a slight light in the bedroom window behind the main hall, which silently indicates to the outside that there are still people living in the Palace - Oh, whether it is a person or not may have to be discussed again.

Tonight, the hazy light came out from the windows that were almost covered by curtains. Even in the thick night, it seemed inexplicably dark.

But now, after all, it is at night. If someone passes outside, it is difficult to ignore the past.

On the light curtains, a tall figure sitting on a high back chair was reflected.

……

"Madam... Yes, the plan is going well... As I said that day, they are a group of kind and naive young men and women. Especially their leader Hermione Granger can be described as' fraternity '- the birth of intelligent corpses will be a difficult problem enough to challenge the concept of life for these children with excessive compassion."

"Well, I've been making arrangements step by step. Next, those corpses will further show their human nature and value, which will inevitably lead those 'lovely' children into more clear contradictions and confusion... I think it will promote them to make up their mind as soon as possible."

"Yes, my dear Ms. Kern! If you continue like this, your long cherished wish will naturally come true in a short time! That new era designed by you and made us look forward to will be realized most thoroughly and perfectly in this era -"

An unfamiliar thick voice came out of the window. The content sounded very excited, but the tone was still as calm and indifferent as in the impression.

After some words close to oath, the figure seemed to finally stop talking to himself.

However, when the silence of that night came again and people thought that this unilateral "dialogue" tonight had really come to an end, the voice suddenly came out again.

"... madam, is there anything else? Hmm? The magic tree outside the dense forest? Oh, you should say 'beating willows'? Yes, a large group of frober caterpillars have cocooned on it, but they have broken the cocoon and flew away... There is still a cocoon left?"

"Oh... Of course, let it hang! Since it still has the breath of life, it will break out of its cocoon sooner or later... Yes, just like the world you love deeply, even if it is much later than expected, it will break its cocoon and become a butterfly in the end!"

"... if you're bored living in Hogwarts, you might as well take some time to see it every day. As for other things, leave it to me... Oh, and halbo - just leave it to us!"

The voice gradually fell, and the dim light in the bedroom slowly went out. This time, the sound seemed to stop at last.

Not long after, there was a figure flying away quietly in the trees outside a window. This figure has no breath of life and magic fluctuation. It seems to be just a nonexistent virtual shadow, which is almost impossible to attract the attention of others.

But before the light in the window completely disappeared, the figure reflected on the curtain seemed to turn its head.

……

A few minutes later, Safina, Sarah and Hannah were in the room.

The room looked dark because there was no light. Just because now the clouds over London are directly "pierced" by the huge icicle directly into the sky. Although the moon is still elsewhere, there is still moonlight mixed with starlight, which passes through the crystal icicle and is sent to the frozen city of London.

The cold ice outside the window mostly flows with some slight moonlight and Stardust, so that the world in the urban area will not fall into complete darkness at night.

In fact, once it is night, the city of London today may be more beautiful than in the past.

Unfortunately, there are not many people who are in the mood to appreciate this beauty.

"Hornheim, hasn't your 'alchemical ghost' come back yet? Is it... It can't come back?"

Sarah and Safina are sitting on both sides of the small round table by the window. Safina is talking now. Sarah just sits opposite her, her eyes slightly closed, she doesn't know what she's doing, but she seems very focused.

"Hornheim? Sarah? Haven't you seen him yet?"

While Safina was restless and kept pressing for questions, Sarah didn't seem to be affected at all. However, the second after Safina finished her last sentence, she finally opened her eyes and turned her eyes towards Safina opposite.

"Don't be afraid of what you urge. I didn't have anything to do. Do you urge me so much but cause me problems?" even if she was as calm as Sarah, she seemed to be annoyed by Safina and said to her casually.

Safina suddenly turned her mouth when she heard the speech.

"You said yourself that whatever I do will be fine."

"All right, all right!" Sarah waved her hand and then pointed at Safina's back. "Didn't you ask if my ghost has come back? Well, it hasn't come back long ago... I just sorted out the information I overheard from the bedroom in my heart."

"Eavesdropping? You didn't go to see him directly?" Safina frowned immediately. "This is not the plan we agreed before!"

"Because things have changed." Sarah waved and leaned heavily against the back of her chair. "If you heard that conversation, you'd immediately decide to step back first - I have to say, it's unusual and very unusual!"

"What?"

"That should really be McLean. That's right." Sarah said very seriously. "However, he's no longer on Granger's side... It's probably also true!"

"We may not be able to take any chances anymore."
