The green light of the Killing Curse was like a signal. The Auror closest to the door raised his hand and knocked lightly three times. After waiting a few seconds with no response, he closed his fingers, extended his arm, and swept it sideways behind him, as if tossing a stone to test the road ahead, beckoning the other two Aurors into the room with him.
They walked in with heavy steps and saw the couple collapsed in each other's arms on the floor at a glance. After standing at attention and saluting, the lead Auror cast the Super Shield Charm, creating an arched barrier.
The other two used Wingardium Leviosa, shrouding them like an invisible coffin and lifting them into the air. The instant they touched the shield, the couple's bodies turned into black powder glowing with blue light, before finally falling still again.
The Aurors had completed the final order Thalmann had just given: to destroy the couple's bodies completely.
After all, aside from the possibility that someone within their ranks with ulterior motives might take them to the United Kingdom to claim credit, the main reason was that Hogwarts Floating City itself was now famous for its popular Necromancy and undead workers. If their deaths meant the other side could not put them on trial, enraging Harris and making them use their corpses to turn the couple into Undead Creatures, that would be a fate worse than death, an eternity of torment.
