It was a bustling afternoon for them, between keeping their track on the trio and scouring the United Kingdom for underage half-breeds, the girls were proud to say that everything was going along according to their plan. As of now, to be in relative distance to where Emily Potter, Daphne Greengrass, and Blaise Zabini were staying, their group settled in an abandoned office building to which they had converted into a loft.

After weeks of living in bewitched tents, uninhibited warehouses, and motels, everyone had to admit that this was the most comfortable living space that they acquired for a long time.

The blonde shrugged, swiveling her chair back to the writing table where they kept both a map of muggle London and Wizarding communities within London.
