Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Chapter Eleven

On the day of the Quidditch match, the weather was clear and cloudless. In Hogwarts, where the climate is complex and volatile, this was a rare good weather, at least a good start.

"Why do people always like to squeeze in a crowd to watch this brutal sport?" Zoe kept complaining. She and Luna found a seat. Zoe was surprised that Luna was still willing to talk to her, but Lu Na obviously didn't think it was a big deal.

The students enthusiastically waved flags or objects that symbolized the college, shouting loudly for the college they supported.The space Zoe was in fell silent for a while, but everyone's emotions were very high, they quickly diverted their attention, just moved their buttocks away from here.

"When you see the players flying into the sky with your emotions and winning, you will feel that you are also involved and have a conversation with the people around you." Luna swept her feet, "Or they It’s just like the fanatic state of the group supporting one thing, not so distinctive, not being treated as a weirdo."

"You can be one of them if you want."

"Yeah, as long as I want." Luna's voice became like a sleepwalking trance again, "There are so many mysterious and unknown things under the sky. I think discovering them is more important than these...Of course I like Kui very much. It’s strange. My dad used to make a simple one at the door of the house. We-when my mother was still alive-liked to form a triangle and throw the ball."

"You, don't you care?" Zoe was a little embarrassed, she felt that she was suddenly facing the most real side of this girl, even though she seemed so careless.

"No, she died because of the experimental spell when I was a child, but we never lost her. She has always been there. I believe we will see you again one day." Luna's voice was soft, but firm.

"Why do you want to tell me this? I don't want to..." Zoe resisted. She always felt that Luna was like a vine, entangled silently. Unknowingly, she went in and out with her for a few months. You actually have more time than anyone else, and you can easily get used to her presence, because she also walks by Zoe as a matter of course, talking to her naturally, even after they have had an unpleasantness.

Zoe rang the alarm bell in her heart. Although she was willing to pay for and change the relationship between her and Draco and Hermione, she always had a certain degree in her heart. She looked at them and judged whether they would not. Would hurt her, she moved forward while tempting, and was ready to get out at any time-Zoe erected a wall in front of her, she tried to open her heart and accept so many people, but those people must pass her first Confirm to ensure absolute safety.

Especially when she recalled the sins she had committed, she even carefully considered whether to cut off the entire relationship.It's just that she is too reluctant to give up, she has experienced the warm feeling, she doesn't want to go back to the corner without light.She doesn't care at all what other people think, as long as those she thinks important don't leave...

But now she has always been cautious like a joke. Luna stood in front of this wall ignoring all obstacles. She is not like Hermione. Hermione is enthusiastic but more measured. She will not spy on Zoe’s wounds. As long as Zoe showed pain.Hermione would wait for Zoe to tell her that until then she would stay in her nearest place to wait and support her.

But Luna Lovegood, this girl made her unable to see through.The attitude she showed is like they have been good friends for decades, and they can talk about everything. She never grasps the distance between people, and speaks plainly, regardless of the relationship between the other person and her. .But this kind of closeness seems unconscious, comfortable and natural, and will stop at the place where it should stop, and will not make Zoe feel offended, and then continue to deepen after Zoe gets used to it.Until Zoe came back to her senses, she realized that Luna was too close to her heart.

Zoe hadn't planned to do this, and the relationship with Luna became so good.She felt that everything was out of control.

"But I think it's nothing, you won't talk nonsense to other people."

"Will you talk to everyone like that?"

"Only with what I think I can trust."

"You are too easy to trust others! We haven't known each other for a few months!"

She could see that Luna was not at all lost. She trusted Zoe, a senior sister who had only known her for a few months, a potential dark wizard and murderer (though she didn’t know this yet), and she refused her kindness. Roommate who was angry at her.It was precisely because of Luna's trust that she was able to pass Zoe's defense, even Hermione only gradually trusted her in the process of interacting with her.This was originally the right way of interpersonal communication-my God, but Luna was able to open her heart before she knew a person at all.Of course you can beware of a fully armed person, because you are like this too, but how can you be wary of a hostage who is naked and holding up hands?

Zoe doesn't want to speak up now, she still needs to think carefully.

"Did you notice? Gryffindor, there is a girl who has been watching you." Luna suddenly pushed her and said.

Zoe shook, she naturally understood who it was and why.But she was a little afraid to respond to her now, because she wasn't sure if Hermione was still angry with her.

******

One day last week, "Zoe, we need to talk." Hermione was like a brown whirlwind. She took advantage of Ravenclaw’s break to block Zoe. Zoe had been consciously or unconsciously until then. Avoid her.

Zoe followed her, and they detoured a long way to a semi-abandoned bathroom on the second floor. Zoe knew this. It was famous in Hogwarts—the crying Myrtle used it as a stronghold. And they will harass every girl who comes here to go to the bathroom, throwing water at them jealously, or crying loudly to vent their pain.Over time, there are no longer any girls willing to come here.

She leaned against a shabby sink, watching Hermione walking around with her hair in amusement.

"what happened?"

"I believe the opening of the Chamber of Secrets has nothing to do with you." Hermione spoke quickly, "But you must tell me what you know. We asked Professor Bins. He said that the Chamber of Secrets belonged to Salazar Slytherin. The monster. I'm looking for the real heir. I need your help!"

"We should indeed find him sooner," Zoe thoughtfully, she suddenly remembered that Salazar himself was a staunch pureblood, "Muggle-born wizards will be very dangerous, and your life will be threatened."

"Please!" Hermione's face became even more ugly when she heard this. "We don't know if this is a prank in the name of the secret room, or what the real prisoner wants...but Before that, you should pay more attention to yourself. Do you know that you are being rumored?"

"Of course, they told me perfectly with their attitude."

"Don't tell me you don't have any ideas!" Hermione gritted her teeth. "You have to clarify this misunderstanding. We need to find the criminal!"

"Why? It's not necessary, I don't care, their opinions have nothing to do with me."

"Zoe, you have to understand that if this continues, if the same incident occurs again, everyone will doubt you, and your position will become very dangerous!" Hermione held the knuckles on the edge of the sink and turned white, she tried too hard Up.

"If the Ministry of Magic intervenes in this matter..."

Just when Hermione thought she had said it clearly enough that Zoe should take it seriously, she got a pale smile, Zoe laughed at herself.

"If they want, it would be a good excuse this time, and it's not wrong, because I am a monster and deserve to be hanged..."

"Snapped!"

Zoe clutched her hot face and looked at the furious Hermione in shock. She gasped, her right hand trembled slightly, and her left hand grasped her right wrist as if she wanted to stop her agitation and slap Zoe again.

"Then you go to die!" Hermione yelled, her eyes red.Zoe had never seen Hermione so angry.Even the crying Myrtle stopped crying, and she rushed into the sewer in fright.

"Hermione..."

"I desperately want and want to clarify-tell the people who orchestrate you, their mistakes, tell them that you are such a good person... Let them think that you can't be the heir. Me and everyone All quarreling... I told myself I had to correct them and let them see who you are... I even broke up with my roommate because they were hurting a friend I valued..." Hermione grabbed Zoe by the neckline , A drop of tears fell on the back of her hand, "But what are you doing while I'm fighting hard? You self-defeating bastard! You even gave up the opportunity to prove, how could you say that to yourself?! Don't I know Zuo What kind of person is Yi Siegel? The time we spend together is not a lie!"

She took a lot of will to restrain herself, desperately holding back the tears of bursting the bank, Zoe knew that Hermione didn't want to be vulnerable in front of her, at least not now.

"I'm sorry I slapped you..." Hermione lowered her head and said dryly.Then he ran away before Zoe could reply.

Chapter Twelve

Zoe planned to keep her distance from Luna before thinking about it, but now she can only rely on Luna to help her. She wrote a small note and asked Luna to pass it on to Hermione.Luna didn't ask why, so she ran to Gryffindor.

When Luna and Hermione were talking, Zoe took a sneak peek, Miss Know-all’s expression was not very good, she first held up the note, did not open it, just grabbed it in her hand, apparently intending to take it Crushed into a ball and turned into rubbish.

Sure enough, Luna said to her when she came back: "Miss Granger accepted the note, but she shouldn't plan to answer your words. You quarreled, and it was your fault."

"I'm not... well, it's my fault." Zoe was very depressed, "I was excluded, why should she be angry?"

Luna raised her eyebrows: "Are you serious?"

"No, I'm just...not used to being treated like this." She smiled bitterly. "Draco would never do this."

"You can't take boys as the standard, boys are always more careless."

At this time, the audience suddenly made deafening shouts, the red gold and green silver flags were flying on both sides, the two sides of the game lined up, and the referee Mrs. Hooch was explaining the precautions with the captains of both sides.Zoe noticed that Draco at the end of the team made a defiant gesture at Harry.

"The Slytherin team has put on brand new equipment. They will leave Gryffindor far behind." Luna told a confused Zoe, while waving the red and gold lion flag and the green and silver snake flag in her hand. , She has no preferred team.

"But Gryffindor has the best seekers. Harry Potter will always bring them victory."

Both sides rode on the broomsticks, and Slytherin’s brand-new equipment was truly extraordinary. They shuttled across the court and no one could stand in front of them. The Slytherins made full use of the broomstick performance to pass the ball at high speed. The team made forty points. The Weasley twins tried their best to hinder Slytherin with a walk, but they failed to get enough results. The Slytherin team can always avoid the walk easily.The battle situation was completely one-sided, like the weak gap between a child and an adult.

"The key is who finds the Golden Snitch first, and the seeker is the one who determines the outcome of this game.

"Golden—what?"

"Snitch. Very small, flying fast, only the best Seeker... he saw it! I swear he saw it!" Luna suddenly became excited.
