Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Really? I remember you didn't like it there."

"Indeed, there was no anger at all there, it was just an uninhabited dead house, but I have some questions and need to find answers."

She remembered the refreshing feeling when she woke up, all those fears and despairs disappeared, as if they had never existed.Zoe vaguely felt that someone had come to see him when he was asleep and said something to him.But when she asked Madam Pomfrey, she didn't get the answer.

"Dumbledore didn't tell you anything", this sentence was like a curse, surrounding Zoe's heart.She was really not right, the airtight fear that she brought in her dream was like being suffocated by her mouth being covered.But she was clearly protected by Dumbledore, even during the period when she was closely monitored by the Ministry of Magic, she had never felt this way.

She couldn't deny that this was just Voldemort's countermeasure, a trap that wanted to alienate her from Dumbledore.But she couldn't ignore it, and instinctively told her that Dumbledore was indeed hiding something.And this requires her to find the answer herself.

Even if that is not destined to be a beautiful truth.

Extraordinary: Malfoy and Siegel

Sometimes Lucius feels that he has never been close to Max. They were childhood sweethearts and even distant relatives.When he was young, he would run wild with Max in the garden, and when he was a little older, he would sit under the hundreds of years old tree in Siegel’s family and read. At this time, Max would always concentrate on reading a thick book. And he just sat beside her and watched her.Look at the baby-fat face under her long curly hair.

Watch her use her long fingertips to pick up the fallen green leaves, watch her gently pull her hair behind her ears.When he was a teenager, he still didn't know the taste, but he only wanted to carve this second of time into his soul, hoping that time could stop here forever.

He wished that Max would feel the same as himself.They are so well-matched, full of tacit understanding, and they are all descendants of pure-blood families, and they are right.Even Max’s weird father never prevented him from visiting her. Lucius felt that the future might be just as he expected. They would have children. He hoped to have a son, but the daughter was also very good. He hoped she would. Like a mother.

He went to Hogwarts first and became a glorious Slytherin.The next year, as he expected, Max Siegel became Slytherin, and they were together again.Max’s grades are always excellent. She is the first, the prefect, and the president of the student union. She is always surrounded by a group of people, and it is lively. Even students from other colleges are good to her. evaluation of.

Lucius felt that he couldn't catch up with Max, no matter how hard he tried, he finally chose to give up and start dating Narcissa Black.

Everyone says Max is a cheerful girl. She dares to think and ask, she is bold and conceited. It seems that there are no academic problems in this world that she can’t solve. She is bold and ignoring all the established rules. She is a wizard, even Take the initiative to understand the world of Muggles.When Lucius questioned her, she just said: first it is knowledge, and secondly it is Muggle knowledge.

Max is a bird that will not be restrained, and all doctrines cannot allow her to overturn her decision.Sometimes you feel that she is unreasonable, even because of her tough screams. If you argue with her, you will only have a nervous breakdown: she will interpret her ideas from every angle. If your views conflict with her, That's unfortunate. It must be you who gave up your opinion in the end.

Only when Lucius thought that they would only be strangers-after all there were a lot of Mudbloods around Max-she joined the Dark Lord's lineup earlier than anyone else.No one knows how Lucius felt when he saw Max's cheerful face in the Death Eaters camp, and the astonishment remained in his heart to this day.

She truly became the confidant of the Dark Lord, not a servant like Lucius, but a more intimate relationship like a friend-of course the Dark Lord doesn’t need friends, everyone knows this, but they still Increasingly close, even Bellatrix, who has a passion for the Dark Lord, cannot get so close to the Dark Lord.

"You have changed, and you are no longer the person in my memory." Lucius passed Max one day, and her destination was obviously the Dark Lord's lounge.

He remembered Max tilting his head and smiling: "Lucius, you know, I've always been me, but you don't want to admit it."

Everything was broken in that snowy night.The Dark Lord was actually defeated by a boy by Harry Potter!The rebel forces quickly launched a counterattack. They united the forces that could be united and defeated the stronghold of the Death Eaters. Finally, the Aurors had their own abilities again. They began to hunt down the loyal Death Eaters who fled, or arrested them. To kill.Lucius came down watching the wind, shitting that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse to become the minion of the Dark Lord.

The Death Eaters were arrested one by one, but Max disappeared from the sight of everyone. Lucius was both gratified and anxious: Max was after all a top student who graduated as the chief, but she was already pregnant at that time, and she was obviously It is impossible to obtain the blessing of her "husband" again. With Max's reputation in the wizarding world, what awaits her is Azkaban's permanent imprisonment. She cannot survive such a bad situation.

Lucius asked about the relationship everywhere. He was careful not to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic. At that time, he was also being observed by the Ministry of Magic. He was summoned every day to betray his former "colleagues". More energy to manage this matter.

When he heard the news of Max again, it was a bad news: Auror killed Max. Max did not resist, but hoped that they could take her child away. For this reason, she was willing to exchange her own death for this child. Raw.

The Auror had no choice. By the time he said this, Max had taken enough Muggle hostages. She controlled the Muggles with Imperius and Stupor, and threatened to reveal all the secrets of the wizarding world.The chief executive of the action at that time agreed to her after carefully considering her request and made an unbreakable oath.

Lucius would never know what the people from the Ministry of Magic had agreed with Max at the time. All he knew was the girl sitting under the tree reading a book, which was already a memory.

When he finally made up his mind to go to Siegel’s house again, what he saw was a familiar figure: the blonde girl was sitting under the ever-tall giant tree and reading a book. She was very quiet, when the leaves fell on On that book, she flicked the leaves off with her palm.

Lucius stepped forward as if seduced, "Hello," his voice was as soft as it came from his heart.

The girl raised her head. It was a pair of sea-blue eyes. Lucius seemed to have been splashed with cold water, which made him sober: Max's pupils were brown.

"Hi." The boy next to him curiously looked at the girl in front of him, watching her run to hide behind the tree with a scared expression, reluctant to walk out of it anyway.

The boy was a little discouraged, but didn't want people to think he cared. He scratched his head irritably, "I'm Draco Malfoy, you are from the Siegel family, right? Don't be afraid, Malfoy and West Geer is a family friend!"

"You are a pure-blooded wizard! My dad said I should make friends with such people. I have no friends... well, I mean, I mean..."

There seemed to be a little gold leaking from behind the tree.

"I have a poster for Puddermere United. You must know Quidditch. Every wizard should know it-we can go to the game together, or let my dad get us two children’s broomsticks and fly in the garden. ..."

But the girl was not attracted by the scene he described, and the boy looked at his father helplessly.

Lucius’s lips formed a subtle curve: "Draco, I remember that there is an out-of-print "Toadstool Mushroom" at home? Since you are not interested in it, I think I need to give it to People who need it more..."

He clearly saw the girl behind the tree fidgeting, and continued: "Or a kid who likes to read will show up in front of me to pick up the book? Let's go Draco, we should visit Mr. Orlando."

The dissatisfied boy took two or three steps, and suddenly a timid voice came over.

"Sir, can I interrupt you? About that book..."

Chapter One Siegel’s Old House (Part 1)

This is an old castle with a cold taste, standing in a rural area in England, surrounded by flat farmland, and you can vaguely see the smoke rising from the chimneys of the houses. From there are Muggles. The Segal family has lived in seclusion here for generations, and has nothing to do with the Muggles.

As the sun sets, birds are singing and flying across the sky.Zoe Siegel was wearing a black cloak and did not carry her small suitcase.She had just passed her twelfth birthday a few days ago and received a few letters. She declined the invitation from Draco to celebrate her. She chose to enjoy a greasy birthday cake with Dumbledore, and then enjoyed another two days of leisure. day.

Today she returned to the family’s old house and looked at the stone wall, which is still well maintained even if there is no one inhabited.

Paluru is the leading house elf in this family, and they are the best helpers of this sparsely populated family.People in the Siegel family always have many quirks, and most of them don't like living with people. Zoe thinks that the head of the year must have felt that it was better to find a few clumsy apprentices than a few loyal house elves.

Coupled with the good treatment of the Siegel family, many house elves are attracted to come.Zoe walked into the front hall under Paluru's guidance and looked at the third elf who had passed in front of him, thinking that they might be the real masters of the house.

"Master, what do you need for coming today? The reliable Paluru can solve all your problems!" Paluru slapped his chest. It is a veritable veteran who lives in this house. Time is longer than Zoe, the nominal head, and he knows all the institutions in the house.

"Leave me alone. I'll walk around and then go to grandpa's room to find something—"

"Paruru will help you prepare delicious meals! You must stay in the old house for a few more days!"

"No, I'll stay here for a few hours..." Before Zoe finished speaking, he saw Paluru running away with short legs.

She was walking on the corridor covered with red carpet. On the walls on both sides were portraits of previous family owners. Most of them were crazy, and they kept talking about something. The third and fourth pictures even pulled out their wands and shot each other. Get up—they are a pair of brothers. The younger brother is a rare power supremacist in the Siegel family. He turned him into a slug one night after his brother was in charge for three years, and then threw it to Hungry bird.

It's just that the man blinded by power didn't live a long life. He broke his neck when he went down the stairs, because the stepping step suddenly disappeared when he stretched his feet, and he just rolled down the stairs and lost his life.

Probably it is the evil taste of the next head. Their portraits are arranged on both sides of the corridor. They spit at each other face to face all day long. Passing through this place can get a little heart. If you don't pay attention, you will be involved in the quarrel between the two , The spell will not choose the target it affects.

At the end of the corridor, a portrait of her grandfather, Orlando Siegel, stood there, looking at her with piercing eyes.This is a more majestic grandfather, younger than she knows, wearing a dress with a little arrogant temperament.Behind the painting was a blank wall, where Max Siegel should have been-if it wasn't because Max, who had joined the Death Eaters, had severed ties with the family.

Zoe pushed open the two heavy oak doors, and the smell of paper and ink mixed with the icy smell.You can see bookshelves full of books on both sides of the wall. There are many books piled in the corners. The front is a long desk with a brass planetarium on it, and the dome is shining with astrological charts.

Zoe turned it over. She didn't let go of every corner, but she couldn't find the relevant letters at all: Max Siegel's correspondence records with his family over the years seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Could someone destroy them?

If so, it will only be Orlando.But Zoe didn't think Grandpa would really destroy them, this was the last trace of Max in this world.

She began to look around, and finally walked to the planetarium and tapped it with her magic wand.

A blue light was projected from the planetarium onto the wall, and there were twenty-seven irregular stars.As long as Zoe swept the two adjacent stars with his magic wand, there would be light connecting them.A line of text emerged in the air: The star can only reach the end of hope by moving straight forward and eliminating the path of retreat. From the beginning to the end, the balance will tilt toward the wise.

"It looks like I need a pattern." Zoe murmured, looking at the star chart on the dome, and finally chose a scorpion-like star chart, which suddenly became brighter when the planetarium was turned on—and that was the composition. One of the items of the Siegel family emblem.

It seems that this astrological map must form the correct patterns of the stars, and at the same time the trajectories of the stars cannot overlap, and there is only one chance to connect between them.

Zoe thought for a while. This kind of problem seems to pursue randomness, but it requires the choice of the first star: if conditions permit, the first point must be a point with an odd number of rays passing through. If so There are two points, start with one and end with the other.

When the final line was completed, a scorpion, which was exactly the same as the astrological chart, floated up in the air and overlapped with another scorpion. At this moment, the sound of crunching gears turned from the corner of the bookshelf, and a fan was exposed after a while Secret door.
