Chapter 2475 What Good News
Snape didn't like the zombie girl very much.
Although in the whole process of meeting for the first time just now, the other party's behavior was always decent and full of friendliness, even with Snape's keen observation ability, he didn't feel the slightest malice from the other party at all; The appearance of the living corpses is very close to that of normal human beings, and even has an elegant posture and hospitality etiquette that is not lost to many real humans.
But Snape still didn't have any good feelings for the other party, even though the other party had been very patient with him from the beginning to the end, and had always maintained the thoughtfulness of receiving a distinguished guest.
However, when the other party said that he was going to see Hermione and the others and asked him if they were together, he followed the other party all the way from the square at the entrance to the door of the small living room where Hermione and Lu Ping lived. The feeling of repulsion hidden in his heart , and did not reveal the slightest.
"Tut Tuk."
The living corpse girl walking in front reached out and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while and hearing Hermione's voice "Please come in" from inside, she opened the hall door, turned around and raised her hand politely at Snape I gestured.
"Sir, please first!"
Seeing this, Snape didn't refuse, but nodded slightly as if there was nothing, and strode past the other party unceremoniously, and walked straight into the hall.
Facing the gazes of all the people sitting at the table in the hall, he ignored them as usual, and quickly passed by without stopping, until he suddenly sat down in front of a certain armchair against the wall. After he sat down, the cloak behind him that always bulged slightly with his steps also died down, which finally made the domineering aura on his body a little bit lighter, and suddenly became much more low-key.
And then, when the zombie girl also came in from the door, the eyes of most people in the hall were naturally attracted to her.
Of course, at least Lupine's attention would not be easily taken away from Snape. After more glances at the latter, he, like everyone else, turned his head to look at the zombie girl who was walking towards this side, but the corner of his eye was still secretly looking at Snape.
From the very beginning, he was very puzzled about Snape's purpose of coming here - although Snape had already said that he was looking for Maca, what was he actually looking for? Snape hadn't mentioned it, and apparently didn't intend to.
On the other side, Snape obviously noticed the gaze of this "old friend". He gave Lupine a sideways look, pouted his upper lip in a disgusted expression, and then looked away, ignoring him.
Just when Lupine was wondering what Snape's plan was, one of the twins, the zombie girl, had already come closer under everyone's gaze.
"can I help you?"
Hermione and the other party are already familiar with each other, knowing that this living corpse girl with an unusual status in the clan has been leading the clan to rectify the surrounding environment recently, and is focusing on guiding the clansmen to settle down here, learn human knowledge and living habit. Generally speaking, the other party would not deliberately enter Buckingham Palace to find them if there was nothing wrong, especially when it was supposed to be busy in broad daylight.
Sure enough, the living corpse girl nodded immediately when she heard the words.
"There is something," she said, "the master has already heard about the arrival of Mr. Lupine and other new guests, he asked me to entertain all human guests well, and asked me to tell you that the master will return in the evening and Good news for everyone."
...
"Good news?" Hermione frowned suspiciously, propped her chin in thought.
After the living corpse girl finished speaking to everyone in the small meeting room, she quickly left the palace and continued to work on her affairs. It's not that Hermione and the others didn't ask the question, but after questioning, they found that the other party didn't seem to know what the "good news" that the lord of the living corpses said was.
However, although the other party failed to solve the big guy's confusion, he still faithfully fulfilled his promise of "good hospitality" when he came and went in a hurry. Not long after she left, Ms. Stitcher, the only "cook" of the zombie tribe, came pushing a cart full of various snacks and pastries, and there were even two carts on it. A large pot of steaming coffee.
It's just that the horrifying appearance of the living corpse lady shocked all the "new guests" including Lupin. Many people even pulled out their wands subconsciously. If Hermione hadn't reacted immediately to stop everyone, some of them might have thrown the spell out.
No way, who would have thought that the terrifying "monster" with four arms and six legs, which looks very powerful at first glance, is actually a low-key chef obsessed with human cooking?
When the other party, under the vigilant gaze of Kingsley and others, put all kinds of snacks and pastries on the table conscientiously without squinting, and poured a cup of coffee for everyone before refunding the money, even Hermione was momentarily surprised. I forgot the "good news" I was thinking about just now, and hurriedly explained to Lu Ping and others:
"Don't worry, that corpse lady just now isn't going to hurt anyone—she's basically only interested in cooking, really! Hannah even taught her how to make ice cream! In fact, in my opinion, she's probably just Other than Bai Ye, there is the least threatening living corpse here!"
But Kingsley, who was not far away, couldn't help grinning after hearing this, and murmured in the direction of the hall door that the other party had just left:
"You call that... 'Ms.'?"
"Yes." Hermione froze for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Actually, Ms. Splicer's voice is very pleasant, although she herself doesn't like to speak very much."
"Oh," Kingsley took off his hat, touched his bald head, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "What's wrong with this world...?"
However, just a few seconds later, Lupine who was sitting next to him patted his shoulder, shook his head slightly and said:
"Obviously something is wrong with the world, isn't it?"
Lupine seemed to have accepted Hermione's explanation in a short period of time—although he might not fully agree with it in his heart—he stopped thinking about the "living corpse cook lover" and instead He reached out and tapped on the table, then changed the subject and said loudly:
"Guys, although we haven't been able to know what the so-called 'good news' is, it is inevitable that the lord of the living corpse will appear in the evening..."
Having said that, he turned his head to look at Hermione, Harry and the others. Immediately, he didn't know what he was thinking of. After a pause, he sighed and continued:
"We have already said what should be said in the previous discussion... In short, it is time to deal with it carefully!"
