Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Have you dreamed recently? What will you dream of?"

"Nothing. I need a lot of energy to keep up. I have to practice a spell for a long time to master it. I don't even dream at night. Just practicing it will use up all my physical strength."

"I heard you couldn't do better at Hogwarts. You are the best student."

"But you should really look at Miss Granger in Gryffindor House, she is the genius. I just want to maintain the honor of the family and my own vanity, plus a little luck that happens to be." She showed frustration. Expression, "But it's really hard."

The thin, bald man sitting across from her stared at her for a long time, and the test spell he placed did not respond, which at least showed that Zoe's answer was credible.It would be great if he could apply for Veritaserum, there was obviously something wrong with this kid, he thought.However, Veritaserum has been banned by the Minister's Office, at least on the surface it cannot be used against Zoe Siegel.

"I remind you, Miss Siegel, you better don't want to play tricks and don't get into trouble. Do you really think Dumbledore can put you off the death penalty? You killed so many people in your blood relatives, After committing an unforgivable sin?! Nothing can change a person's nature! We will stare at you until you expose your bloodthirsty side!" The bald man patted the table threateningly, trying to apply pressure.

As he wished, the girl shrank visibly and looked at him timidly.

"...Well, Dark, get her wand."

Soon the subordinates took a long and narrow box and took out Zoe's wand from it.The wand was made from Ollivander, which was the first choice of Hogwarts freshmen. You can check the entire procedure, and there is nothing suspicious.

"Let me see what you can do with this stool."

He pointed to the high stool opposite Zoe.

Ten minutes later, the wizards of the Executive Division hurried to the basement and finally stopped the violent high stool.According to the memories of a certain wizard who was on the scene at that time, the empty basement was like a grass field, and the high stool turned into a strong horse, kicking its feet continuously, pacing back and forth in its territory, and He snapped his nose like a real horse.Among the two people at the scene, one of the Ministry of Magic officials fell to the ground, rolling his eyes.There were obvious marks on his face, like being kicked by something hard, and then the girl stood aside innocently, holding a magic wand in her hand.

When they asked about the whole story, the girl cried with rain and kept apologizing. She cried and screamed until she attracted a large number of Ministry of Magic officials led by Fudge.

"I—I (she choked) just wanted to make it move and move, but I pronounced the wrong syllable—"

Adults have to comfort her all the time. When a sweet-looking girl cries so sad, you will definitely relax. Even Fudge, who has been "stung" by her, has selectively forgotten her previous attitude.

As for the hapless guy, he can only be thrown into the corner of memory.

Chapter Six

Zoe likes to stay in the library.The administrator, Mrs. Pins, is very strict and will impose severe penalties on every unruly student caught, which prevents the mischievous students from using this place as a meeting place.She will often appear in the library, only for the senior students of OWLs and NEWTs. If she can't meet people of the same grade here, there will be no awkward looking at each other or deliberate avoidance.

Halloween is approaching, Zoe did not go to the library, she was busy borrowing the potions classroom to refine the medicine after class (which caused her to get a lot of Professor Snape's eyes) to compare the effects of the two medicines in the unknown book. , Which directly took up nearly a week of her time.When she had time to go to the library, it was already another weekend.

There are a lot of people in the library today, probably because the weather has been getting colder recently. The drizzle outside the window has increased the number of people wandering in the castle.After walking around, but didn't find an empty table, Zoe wondered if he wanted to go directly to the bedroom.

"There is still a place here." Someone said to her right.

At first Zoe didn't realize he was talking to her, until the other party increased his voice and called her name.

After hesitating, Zoe walked over.

Hermione pulled the books piled on the table to her side. Her face was ruddy, and Zoe also noticed that many of the books on the table were not related to the course.

"No more trouble, I have something to do." Zoe raised the book in Yang's hand.

"Okay. Wait for me then." Hermione was tough, she quickly packed her schoolbags, and when she looked up, Zoe was almost around the corner.

"Hey! Hey!" She ran to Zoe, "Why do you ignore me?"

"I also want to ask why you are catching up. I don't think we are familiar with each other, Miss Granger."

"Because I am very interested in you, Zoe Siegel! Are you really a child of the mysterious man? You really inherited his powerful mysterious power? Will you cast evil spells? I can't get a loan. The ban on the book, Professor McGonagall said it’s too early for me to understand those...Do you know the mysterious person? I can’t find too many detailed descriptions in the book. I can see that they are afraid of him, but you see the mysterious person Since I've done so many terrible things, I think it's normal to be feared..." Hermione didn't care about Zoe's increasingly ugly face, just kept talking like a gun.

"Enough! Shut up! Mouth!" Zoe gritted his teeth and jumped out, "Since you are so obsessed with him, why don't you call him Voldemort? If you want to get his first-hand information, don't ask me. , Go to Azkaban—"

She only noticed the horrified gazes of passers-by. She said the taboo name, and the scream leaked from a certain girl's mouth, followed by someone inhaling air-conditioning.Everyone who caught Zoe's gaze backed away unconsciously.

Zoe grabbed Hermione's arm (she was still in a daze) and ran straight in the corridor.

"You're happy now." Zoe panted and shook off Hermione's hand as he ran to an empty corner, and was about to leave in a huff.

"Hey! My question—"

Zoe turned his head and glared at her: "Yeah, yeah! I'm the kid of that monster, okay! If I were an Animagus, I just want to become a dragon and burn you to death! Or give Let me give you a chance to cast a death curse on you-why do you keep asking things you shouldn't ask?"

"Why shouldn't you ask? I don't think this should be hidden. Well, I mean your father who committed the crime—"

"I! No! Yes! Father! Kiss!" Zoe's eyes flushed, and suddenly he pulled out the wand, with fluorescent light flashing between the wands. She pointed the wand at Hermione's face, "I want to blow your mouth!"

"Oh, well, I'm sorry if you offend you, but you wouldn't want to do it." Hermione was calm, "You will be dropped out of school if you attack me."

"Dropping out? I'm the descendant of the scariest black wizard. Do you think I will be afraid of being dropped out?" Zoe stared at Hermione's eyes, she wanted to find confusion and fear in the girl's eyes, which would often make Zoe There is a sense of self-abuse.

"Of course. It's the best thing to be able to study at Hogwarts! You like studying, and I like it too. We haven't decided the winner yet. Would you like to flee without a fight?" Hermione followed closely. , "Of course I won't lose."

She stood in front of Zoe with her hands in her arms, neither hiding nor running, her eyes straight and arrogant.Zoe was suddenly discouraged and waved his hand to leave.

After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned around, raised her eyebrows and held out her thumbs at Hermione, then turned down, making a demonstrative grimace at her.

"That's why you risked your life to secretly help those Gryffindors?" Draco's eyes widened in surprise.

They were standing in front of the Ravenclaw common room. Under Draco's various questions, she could only confess her whereabouts.Draco was always worried because when the prefects calmed the flustered students, he did not find her in the crowd.

"I didn't help her. I just waved the magic wand at the monster." She was just attracted by the sound of the monster, and she planned to take a look and leave.But in the toilet, I saw the giant monster—and the three little lions that it was looking at.

At that time, the lion cubs had controlled the situation, the boy who survived the catastrophe hung on the troll, and the youngest son of the Weasley family also correctly recited the floating spell. Stunned, everyone is safe and happy ending.

But the troll suddenly went mad. It accurately caught Harry stuck in its neck, and then easily threw the boy onto the other boy. The wand took off, and the troll grabbed at Hermione again— —She panicked and shrank in a corner unable to move.

Ron, so that no one of the three had time to control the stick on top. Once the troll moved in front of Hermione, the stick could not hit it, and the three would only be torn to pieces by the angry troll.

Hermione only felt that the troll's stinking roar was deafening, and that hairy hand almost held her waist, but the troll suddenly stiffened in place, and could only growl angrily-there will be no more There was a chance, the stick that had lost control of the spell had flown high enough, and it had lost the only time to avoid it.

Before the professors who came to see him, Zoe left the toilet.

"Well, I don't understand why I should be nosy, there are professors who will not have trouble..." Zoe looked blank, "But Draco, she was the first one after I came to school not to be afraid My person. She treats me as natural as anyone else, and I have to say that I am...happy."

She uttered the word awkwardly, and Draco hadn't heard Zoe express such candid feelings to outsiders in a long time, except when facing Harry.

He can only watch the smile on her face become less and less as she grows up, she learns to pretend to be harmless in front of others, take the initiative to avoid the crowd, and no longer ask for new relationships.Even the self who grew up with her would feel a faint estrangement when talking-he and her after all had some uncompromising views.

Draco clearly remembered that Zoe liked crying a lot when she was a child. She faced too much malice but couldn't defeat them, so she could only relieve her fear by crying. She also liked to hide away and watch him secretly. Obviously bigger than him, but like a pitiful little sister.

Only gradually, she cried less and less frequently, she just stubbornly endured it, but no one would hold her hand for help. She became more and more extreme and sensitive, and she no longer wanted to trust others, even in the end. The home is not out.If it weren't for Dumbledore's persistence, Draco thought, the two might drift away like this.

"Draco, would you think this, this would be weird?" Zoe kept rolling her hair with her fingers. She hoped that Draco could give her an answer, but the unknown changes that might be caused are also Make her uneasy.

Draco used to think that he was the one who could protect her and change her, but now thinking about it, he couldn't do anything, because he couldn't ignore the name that called the wind and rain in the wizarding world.And the person who had this possibility appeared, but it was a Mudblood—a child from a Muggle family that Draco looked down upon.

Of course he didn’t want Zoe to make any new friends. He hoped that Zoe could rely on him, as she was looking forward to his opinion now—Draco knew that his answer would affect Zoe’s decision if he said it. "No", with Zoe's attention to him, he can continue to monopolize her friendship.
