Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"But I think you care more about my identity than my grades." Zoe looked at her.

"You are so direct." Padma smiled bitterly. "No one cares about your identity, but I have more channels to get to know you. My sister and Hermione Granger are roommates. I promise they treat you. The impressions are pretty good."

"Unknown is the main cause of fear." She smiled and said, "But when the fog dissipates from our eyes, the misunderstanding is naturally solved-we can make friends."

Zoe was noncommittal, but shook Padma's hand.

"I hope I can bring some good seedlings to Ravenclaw this year." Padma said in Zoe's ear, and Zoe frowned very quickly, let it go, and moved quietly. .

"You really think about Ravenclaw."

"Who isn't? Every college wants fresher blood. Ravenclaw hasn't won the College Cup for a long time. It was a pity last year. If you can get your extra points, we can overtake Gryffindor House."

"The sorting ceremony has begun." Zoe whispered. She noticed Luna Lovegood, she was in the middle of the line, her head dangling, not knowing what she was doing, just a little bit of her careless face. There is no tension.

She does have a big heart, Zoe sighed secretly.Several people passed quickly, when Professor McGonagall shouted.

"Colin Crevy!"

"Gryffindor!"

The Sorting Ceremony did not shine, except for the Sorting Hat Song, which is changed every year.The freshmen's faces are mixed with anxiety and anticipation. This year's Zoe does not belong to them, and there is a special flavor when watching.

"Luna Lovegood."

Luna was really different from ordinary people. She walked slowly to the sorting hat and didn't put it on for the first time. Instead, she flipped it up and down, and put her hand in the hat to touch it, disturbing the score. The courtyard hat laughed and shouted, "Itchy!"

"Miss Luna Lovegood!" Professor McGonagall's tone was serious, and she was obviously a little angry.

Luna put her hat on her head slowly, and after a while, the sorting hat shouted.

"Ravenclaw!"

"Look, our much-anticipated new blood is here." There was a smile unconsciously hidden in Zoe's voice.

Luna staggered to the table, she also saw Zoe, and naturally sat over here, squeezing a Ravenclaw boy aside.

"Hi."

"Hi."

With the sorting of Ginny Weasley ("Gryffindor!"), this year's sorting ceremony ended successfully.When Dumbledore was speaking, Zoe kept staring at the plate in front of her, trying hard not to look at him. She didn't want to undermine the determination that she had finally built up.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zoe looked at Luna who was sitting still.

"I must stay hungry to attract the horned snorer to me." She said in a sleepwalking tone.

"Horned Snorer?" Zoe thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to read the name in any book.

"It's a kind of dreamy and magical creature. Few people can see them. They hide well."

"Is it all right without eating? If I want to see it too, I swear I only ate a little." Zoe looked at her plate in distress.Siegel never asserts that the possibility does not exist, unless they have used all the methods, then they will temporarily shelve the issue until a new clue emerges.Even if this is a magical creature that has never appeared before people.

Zoe saw Luna smiling: "I don't know. The horned snorers are very rare. Even my father and I have not been able to find a way to make them appear in front of us. There are many legends about them, but most of them are Obscure, I think next time we can try to catch them from our dreams."

"It sounds like a nightmare. The Siegel family caught one in the past, but then it disappeared."

The two chatted unexpectedly and speculatively. Luna’s way of thinking was strange and was delusional without facts. She believed them very persistently, but she usually made good suggestions that made people’s eyes shine. Zoe quickly Abandoning Padma and eating half of the food next to him, focus on talking with Luna.

Chapter 7 Plans

Zoe and Padma talked for a long time by the fireplace next to the lounge. The girl seemed to vent last year’s curiosity with this year’s. They tacitly did not bring up family issues, but talked about it. Start summer homework and the new semester they are about to start soon.

Of course they also talked about Guidro Lockhart, a handsome guy who kept telling some small jokes with the teachers around at the opening banquet. The professors were very reserved and kept properly with new colleagues when they were unfamiliar. Distance, but somewhat friendly, except for Snape.The bat-like man had a dark face, focused on cutting the chicken on his plate, and deliberately chewed when Lockhart spoke to him.

"It's late, we should rest." Zoe could finally find an opportunity to euphemistically say "I want to leave."

When she returned to the dormitory, she waved her magic wand at the extinguished candle, and a shadow shone over as the candle reignited.

Luna Lovegood was wearing her pajamas, standing upside down on her bed, like a bat hanging upside down.Her cheeks were already a little bloody (HX), and her arms were trembling. She raised her head strenuously when she heard the sound, just to meet Zoe's wide eyes.

"what are you doing?"

"A...ritual..." Luna's voice was weak, "Let me... better... enter..."

"Your face looks like you drank three catties of eggnog." As soon as the voice fell, Luna thumped onto the bed.

"Lost energy." She gasped.

"Well, why are you here?" Zoe asked hopelessly, especially when she saw that all of Luna's luggage was here.

"I live here. It looks quite spacious, and I didn't expect that there was only one person living there before." Luna looked around, "Can I post a poster here?"

*****

"It sounds like a good thing. You shouldn't be alone, Zoe. You have to find more like-minded people in this school."

"It's okay, I have Draco, and you." Zoe said indifferently, and ended the last sentence of the paragraph in fancy font.

At the beginning of the new semester, students had to devote themselves to learning. The second year courses were much harder than the first year, and the amount of homework increased. Similarly, Hermione went to the library more often.She often invites Harry and Ron, but they are always rejected. The boys don’t want to face the embarrassment of staring at the parchment but unable to write sentences, not to mention that one of them will brush and write when they are burnt. Full one.

Hermione raised her head and gave her a stern look: "But we and you are not in the same college. Apart from doing homework and public classes together, our schedule overlaps very little. You can't be alone for nearly 80% of the time. ."

"Why not? I've always come here like this..." Zoe murmured, "It was your comments on me that led them to me. It's like a bear that smells honey."

"Padma will get angry when he hears this metaphor, you can really put gold on your face." Hermione covered her mouth and laughed, "They are all good girls, just a little simple..."

"Love to join in the fun."

"Okay, love to join in the fun. But they are very energetic, and Lavender is a bit proud of having a conversation with you." Hermione said silently. She remembered the chattering of her roommates these days, "Okay." , They are indeed a bit...gossip."

"Compared with their troubles to me, even Lockhart's defense against the dark magic has become much more interesting. I heard you are a bunch of Cornish elves? My class was a mutant vampire bat. The bats flew around in the classroom as soon as they saw the light, biting at least four people’s necks. I would rather compete with these little arms and legs, at least they won’t keep my neck spinning in order to find the target." Yi complained, "Lockhart himself is completely different from the image in his book! I thought I could be taught by an experienced wizard, but see what he is doing!"

"Hey! Zoe, you said too much. Professor Lockhart just hasn't found the right way to teach, but I can see him improving..."

"For example, the second volume of Guidro Lockhart's personal information? I heard that you actually got full marks. That paper is all nonsense!"

"So now you have a new roommate, how is she?" Hermione decided to bypass the subject.

"I'm not used to it. I feel that my private space has been invaded. I can't even freely decide the time to extinguish the candles. I need to worry about the girl's work and rest time... But I like the thoughts in her mind. She will It's a good Ravenclaw...what's wrong?"

Hermione was frankly surprised, Zoe asked depressedly.

"It's rare, you will praise other people."

"At least for those who admire, I can still speak a nasty sentence or two." Zoe finished writing the end in two and three times and stood up, "Bye, I'm leaving now."

"Have you finished?" Hermione grabbed Zoe's homework and spread it out. "You didn't discuss the spiritual symbolism of the bonfire ceremony for the wizard in the seventh century. You only wrote about the actual effect of the ashes created by the ceremony... Bins The professor will only give you an E or A for this, although you write this history more attractively."
