Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Draco's knuckles holding his wand turned white.He tried to calm himself down. He remembered what Margaret had said to him countless times during the summer vacation: "Draco, if you lose your mind when confronting others, all you can do is lick others. He’s got his boots. But if you can’t beat someone when you’re coolest, I think you can choose to lick his boots first and grab all his skills.”

Damn, it's not that sentence, hell licking boots, dementors and boots?Draco scratched his head and asked Zoe: "Can we deal with dementors?"

"Well, I remember... the phantom spell doesn't work, because the dementor doesn't need to observe and repel the spell may be useful, but it will only provoke them... the patron saint curse works best, but it's a deep one. The spell." Zoe shrugged, "Why don't we just open the carriage and welcome them in?"

"Are you crazy!"

"They dare not do anything, this is not Azkaban..." At this moment, the car door was opened, and the cold feeling permeated the whole car instantly. Several dementors floated in, using a very slow The movement twisted his head (if that was this part of it) and scanned everything in the car.

Zoe can feel as if he is immersed in ice water. This feeling is very strange. The eardrum seems to be covered with a thin barrier. No sound can be heard, and then it is weak and sharp. , Screaming.Then there was the sound of the flesh being torn apart, the hair was terrifying, she could hear the young girl's scream, gradually faint, faint, faint, and exhaled slightly.

Of course she knows what the scene is. Since last year, she has dreamed of the same scene almost every day, but it has never been like this time. While she feels that she is just standing on the sidelines, she can only fall in pain and helplessly. tears.As if the soul split into two halves, and gradually, the part that was sitting on the sidelines gained the upper hand, the cold feeling dissipated, and the limbs became warm again.

She turned her head and found that the others showed fear to varying degrees, shaking and pale. Even Luna frowned, as if resisting something, and looked a little bit sluggish.

"Go away." She found that the Dementor had little effect on herself, and she was able to walk freely in the carriage.Whenever she got closer, the dementors took a step back, and then looked at each other as if wondering why they couldn't affect the person in front of them.Then the dementor at the front, slowly, tried to untie his hood...

A silver gas obstructed the dementors' actions, and they slid back, as if avoiding the silver gas.A haggard and shabby wizard wielded his wand, and the silver mist steadily sprayed from between his wand. The dementors obviously hated (if they do have this emotion) this silver mist, and soon it reappeared. Disappeared at the other end of the corridor.

The wizard came in, and as soon as the dementor left, the expressions of the others improved quickly.He first looked at Zoe with a probing gaze, only she was still ruddy in the crowd, and the Dementor had no effect on her.

"Would you like a piece of chocolate?" He turned his gaze back and asked gently.

Chapter 12 New Professor

The dementors on the train quickly became a conversational resource for the students. Many people exaggerated their bravery attitude at the time or laughed at some people's weak reactions to the dementors.Among them, Harry Potter fainted when facing the dementor, which became a topic of interest.

"That group of idiots. Obviously something is wrong with Potter. He's not a coward." When they passed by a small group of students, Draco sneered. "Last year he even dared to get caught in the risk of being crushed. Snitch, would such a person lack courage?"

Zoe glanced at him: "I thought you hated him. I didn't expect you to speak for him." Draco said, in a tired tone: "Of course I hate Potter. But if you have been for months I was instilled by a former Gryffindor, "Just win the game upright, don't think about messing around with despicable means." You will also change your way of thinking, especially when you may be taught a lesson at any time. under."

"So you are a Gryffindor fan now?"

"Never." Draco snorted coldly. "Even if Meg is my idol, I will never hold hands with the stupid lion in Gryffindor."

"I thought you would resent the'Golden Lion'." Luna glanced at him, "You are actually quite naive."

Draco snorted, "Why are you still here, Lovegood?" He waved his hand in an unsightly manner, and Zoe reminded him: "Luna is in her second grade this year, and she is walking with us, Draco. "

"With her without me, Zoe." Draco cried, unable to hold his face.

"Don't be so naive!"

Even though he said that, Draco still did not leave. The three people were noisy (mainly Draco was arguing) and walked to the meeting place. Zoe looked at the leisurely night sky, but did not expect Luna Low. He exclaimed: "Ye Qi!"

"Do you know them too?"

"Of course, Ye Qi, a witness of death and night. They look so beautiful, can I go up and touch them?" Luna's hand seemed to feel the winged beasts stroking the sharp-mouthed horses. Swing up and down."I don't recommend you to go. Although Ye Qi will not actively attack people, but the premise is not to provoke it."

"I remember Ye Qi is a carnivorous creature. Does it like beef? Or chicken?" Luna muttered, standing still.Zoe could only drag her into the carriage.

"I saw Hermione at the door just now, why didn't she attend the sorting ceremony?"

As the last freshman hurriedly ran into his academy, Zoe clapped and whispered to Luna beside him.

"What, Hermione, where is it?" Luna raised her head. She was looking at the plate in front of her with a dim look. "I didn't notice... Maybe something is wrong. You said they are today. Do you want to make lamb stew for the party? I kind of want to eat this."

Zoe reluctantly watched Hermione's back disappear among a group of Gryffindors. As for the other two boys with her, she completely ignored them."Lamb stew? Would you like to try to tell your plate, the house elves will help you prepare it."

"Elf? It's great. Dad always hopes that one of us can live in and help us clean, but the garlic in the house may be too strong because we want to prevent vampire attacks at night."

"I have a few elves in my house. I can help you ask if they can help out for a period of time, so your father can take the opportunity to persuade them."

"Good idea." Luna curled her eyebrows, and then said to her plate eloquently: "Stewed lamb."

When Hermione and the others came in, the sorting ceremony just ended.Dumbledore stood up from the faculty seat and gave a regular speech every year. He glanced calmly at the students in the four columns and said loudly.

"Welcome. Whether it's a new student or an old student. Hogwarts opens the door to you, and I hope you will have a full and happy New Year. Then, before you enjoy the banquet and are filled with delicious food, you will feel dizzy Before going to bed, I have a few things to announce—"

"First of all, I need to tell everyone that Hogwarts needs to receive some unusual guests temporarily-some students should have dealt with them. The dementors of Azkaban are commissioned by the Ministry of Magic and will temporarily Settled around the campus, stationed at every entrance around the campus..." Dumbledore's tone is very strict. He usually likes to do some light-hearted activities at the opening banquet, such as singing a mess of school songs.But today there was anger on his face, "...It is worth mentioning that some students who like to make trouble should be careful not to leave school without permission or make dementors. At the same time. , Don’t take the initiative to approach the Dementor, whether you’re curious or not, I need to entrust it...

He finally finished talking about the Dementor, his expression was much calmer, and he smiled again.

"I think many people have noticed that about some new faces joining us this year—" He paused. "First of all, let us welcome Professor Lupin, who will serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts in the new year. The professor of the technical course fills up the regrettable vacancy in this course."

The applause was not very strong, but the students who received the help of Professor Lupin applauded vigorously.He looked very shabby, stood up and waved to everyone, then sat down again.

"Next is our new professor. Unfortunately, at the end of last year, our former teacher, Professor Keitelburn, retired. Just as I was struggling, a qualified person came forward to help. It’s me—I’m honored to invite Rubeus Hagrid to be the professor of this course, and he promised me that he will continue to serve as a hunting ground guard outside of teaching."

Gryffindor’s applause was the fiercest. Many of them didn't hate this kind-hearted big man, and Harry almost swollen his hands.Zoe still only applauded gently, she didn't choose the course of protecting magical creatures, and didn't care who taught it.

"Finally, because Mrs. Hooch has some personal affairs, she asked me for a year-long vacation. This year we will welcome a substitute teacher to take on flight lessons for us—"

Just as he was about to continue the introduction, a white arm lifted up, interrupting Dumbledore as if a student was asking a question during class.Dumbledore clearly understood the personality of this man. He smiled and blinked, sat down, and handed the scene to the new professor.

*****

Zoe could feel the commotion of the students around him. Many of them just glanced at the woman who stood up, and became flushed with excitement, while whispering quietly.She even noticed a detail-the most excited people were actually girls.

Even Luna did not continue to stare at her plate, but stared straight at the new professor on the teacher bench who was focusing everyone’s attention at the moment. There was even a little blush on her face. Zoe was startled when she saw this. .

The dressing of the new professor on the stage is different from that of the people around. Compared to those large and exquisite wizard robes, she wears a personal sports gown that is more convenient to move. Usually only Quidditch athletes choose these clothes. Because it is more convenient to ride on the broomstick.

The new professor has thick, silky, long blond hair, and his face is firm and heroic, and he doesn't have the sleekness normally found in adults.She doesn't look easy, because her brows are slightly furrowed and her head is always tilted slightly, which makes her look a little arrogant.But on the other hand, when you see her, you will immediately be convinced that she is very confident, that kind of strong momentum from the inside out.Even if she was bathed in many sights, she didn't have any timidity or flinching. On the contrary, the people she swept over avoided her straight sight and flinched behind.

"Oh my God, it's the first time I saw a real'Golden Lion' so close. I'll want to get an autograph later." Luna murmured. Zoe found that there are many people who have the same idea as her. His eyes looked eagerly at the woman on the stage.

"Sorry to interrupt you, Professor Dumbledore. But I don’t think it should be for others, but I will explain, so that students can see who the professor they will be partnering with in the coming year is, even if It’s the same if I only take one year of class." She nodded around, "I think many people here know my name, but someone must not know..." Zoe rolled her eyes and she found The surrounding air suddenly fell silent, but this was not a cold spot, it was more like believers looking forward to the oracle.

"My name is Margaret R. Wellington. I was also a student at Hogwarts. Of course, I can proudly declare that I am a qualified Gryffindor. I bet on this college Passion and enthusiasm also earned honors for myself and the college. This is the most memorable and pure seven years... Decades later, I returned to this school, but now I am an adult and a teacher Back to school. Stop talking nonsense, even if it's only a year, I hope you can abide by my rules, especially on Quidditch pitches where unfair conflicts are most prone to--"

"As you all know, due to Mrs. Hooch's leave, I will temporarily serve as referee for this year's Quidditch Cup. For each other's safety, I am here to warn you in advance and warn everyone about to ride a broomstick for the sake of their respective colleges. Honorable players-I will never tolerate any unfair behavior. People who foul maliciously on the field are waiting for you not just a free throw or a scolding. I swear by my name, I will Any behavior that does not comply with the rules of the stadium will be severely punished. If you don’t want to get off the stadium and go directly to the hospital, just follow the rules.”

"Let the court go to the court, life to life. Quidditch has never been a gentleman's sport, but it is a warrior's sport. Don't tarnish your self-esteem for a small advantage. I don't want to care who you are off the court, but as long as On the court, you better learn how to play fair, or I can teach you how to follow the rules with a magic wand."

Chapter 13 Want to get a full attendance word count

Marguerite's words were very strong, with straightforward threats.Professor McGonagall's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he seemed unsatisfied with what the proud student said.Snape was about to bury his nose in the plate. He was angry and felt that Margaret meant something. Everyone knew that Quidditch games were prone to physical disputes, but it was Grann who had the highest frequency. Fendor played against Slytherin, and Snape was the dean of Slytherin.

Most of the professors were uncomfortable with Margaret's sharp "self-introduction", and exchanged eyes with bitter smiles.Of course they still remember this student, she was unique since then, like a sword out of its sheath, shining with the cold light that even the owner would be stabbed.If Max is considered to be gentle and smooth, then Margaret relies entirely on her unique personality to attract followers.

The scene was calm for more than three minutes. Everyone was digesting what Margaret had said to them. The silence did not last long. Unlike the more conservative and mature professors, the applause and whistles of the Gryffindors almost stopped. The roof was lifted off, and their eyes shone brightly. Margaret was like the incarnation of Gryffindor and immediately won the hearts of the lions.Even in other colleges, there are no shortage of people who appreciate this dazzling personality.

The hall seemed to be celebrating the festival, and the atmosphere was particularly warm. Applause rang for several minutes before slowly declining.But to everyone's surprise, raising a hand from Ravenclaw's side, a little yellow-haired girl shook her arm trying to ask questions, ignoring the sight of the people around her.

Margaret smiled and asked her to tell her problem.
