Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Zoe didn't think there was anything, but Padma—the temporary partner's reaction was a bit awkward. She hardly spoke to Zoe, and occasionally avoided the intersection of sight.Zoe understands why-in the riot of the secret room last year, Zoe was once mistaken for the heir of the secret room by the students, but it was Padma who actually opened the secret room even though she was manipulated.She thinks that Zoe is taking on the hostility of the people around her on her behalf, especially since not many people know that the prisoner is her, only that the secret room is closed again. Fortunately, the suspicion of Zoe's heir is cleared.

Padma has always blamed herself for this incident. If she is not so selfish and not so hesitant, when she finds an abnormality in the diary, she will give it to the professors instead of just locking it up, and the next thing will not happen. Series of things.Or when she found that the diary disappeared, she immediately went to the professor to explain the situation and Zoe would not be suspected.

When she woke up and learned the whole story of the incident, she took her twin sister to ask Zoe to apologize, sincerely.She thought that Zoe would reject her friendship from now on, and she trembled for a long time.But it seemed that the other party didn't care too much, which made the girl feel a little disappointed.

Zoe didn't notice Padma's emotions about gains and losses.She did not blame Padma because it was not what she committed deliberately, and if some people were always suspicious of her, then no matter whether she was suspicious of the secret room, those people would not let her wear it. Opportunity for hats.

But Zoe also understood that, if it were not for the trust of those few people, she didn't know if she could maintain her composure-even though she was more like abandoning herself than her composure.But what seemed so painful at the time, and now she can recall and analyze it indifferently, which has to be said to be an improvement.

When the transformation class is over, they walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom again, and Padma was finally able to let go on the way.They talked about the new Professor Lu Ping. This little girl likes to inquire about gossip just like her sister.

"I saw Professor Lupin's robe with several patches. He also looked very hungry and unnourished. When I saw him in the corridor, I was always afraid that he would die there... He must be very poor and his family Poverty." Padma thoughtfully, "That's why he came to run for this year and will change the position of a teacher. I don't think he can refuse that reward..."

"Yes, Miss Pettier, you are right. Dumbledore did offer me a sincere invitation... I have to say that it was really timely rain. I couldn't even pay the rent at that time."

A gentle voice sounded from behind them, Padma turned around abruptly, her face flushed when she saw the person who came: "Yes, sorry, Professor Lupin, why are you here? I, I didn't mean that just now..."

"You don't need to apologize to me, Miss Petil-can I call your name, I also saw this last name on the Gryffindor roster." Lupin asked.

"Of course, professor! What you just said was my sister, she was in Gryffindor..." Padma saw that Lupin really didn't care about the gossip, and he was relieved and smiled.

He took the students of Gryffindor to an abandoned classroom with a large closet in the middle. The door of the cabinet was tied with a chain. The head was closed with a large object. The cabinet kept shaking, making a click. The students stared at the cabinet in front of him in fear, for fear that a heart-eating banshee would jump out of it.

"Don't be afraid, there is a Bogut in it. I found it after a long time. Can anyone tell me what Bogut is?" Almost half of the students raised their hands.Lupin ordered one randomly, and the boy pushed his glasses and answered him exactly what Bogut was.

"Very good. I'm very happy that you all have a solid theoretical foundation." Many people showed proud expressions. "Then you chose a Bogut today. What do you want us to do? Experiment with it. Curse?" a girl asked boldly.Now the students began to whisper again, showing a suspicious expression.

Of course they would doubt this. You must know that last year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professors also liked to bring weird things to the classroom. The name was called "operation training", which caused a lot of riots.No one wants to experience the chaos of that time again, and a few students were pale and covered their necks. The panic of blood being taken away last year has not completely disappeared.

Lupin didn’t know this, but his composure still calmed the Ravenclaws somewhat. He told them to face Bogut’s transformation one by one, make it funny, and then switch to the next one. people.

Everyone was wondering what it would become after they met Bogut. Several girls were pale, and if they weren't worried about being in class, they would probably scream.

"I think I will see a ghoul with a chain saw. I have read a thriller novel in the summer vacation. It is portrayed very realistically." Padma said, her face was not good.

Zoe didn't want to think about what she would see. Her intuition would probably cause everyone here to vomit-the fragmented corpse was too unacceptable for ordinary people.She needs to think more about the excuses in the future. Maybe it is a good choice to use it as a scene in a virtual work?

"Zoe Siegel." She heard Professor Lupin calling her.

The previous student had just turned what she was afraid of into a pile of dirty and worn cloth. Zoe took a step forward holding her magic wand. She was a little nervous, but she was still calm. After all, it is useless to escape. It is better to face it. .

Chapter 18 Prophecy and Destiny

"Then what did it become?" Luna asked curiously. She was finally willing to show up at Ravenclaw's table. As soon as she was on the table, she stuffed a large pork sandwich into her mouth.

Zoe hesitated, wondering whether to tell this strange thing, but there were dozens of witnesses in the afternoon, and she couldn't keep it for long.At this time, two Ravenclaw students walked past her talking and laughing, and Zoe recognized that they were her classmates in the same grade.When they saw her, they laughed out loud.Then he lowered his head and covered his mouth and walked away.

"There must be something wrong with that Bogut!" Zoe complained. "In the beginning, it didn't change anything. It looked like a pile of rags. After a few minutes, it suddenly became—" She flushed and felt embarrassed, "Hermione."

"Hermione? Is this scary?" Luna asked in surprise.

"Imagine, angry, cold eyes, tight lips, that Bogut still looks like he wants to slap me, or kick me violently..." Zoe's face was gloomy, "but it acts like it. He didn't really hit me, just grabbed my neckline..."

Her hands tightened where Luna could not see, and her robes were ruffled.She still remembered the Hermione that Bogut had turned into, pressing her ear like a devil's whisper.

"You're really gross."

Every time I think about it, my heart is like being cut by a knife, dripping with blood.Of course Zoe understands that this is not true, but Bogut changed it according to her emotional changes.But she couldn't resist this, only felt every letter hit her face severely.

It wasn't Bogut's problem, but because Zoe thought so, Bogut just faithfully reflected her heart.

It's unexpected to have such dirty thoughts about friends. I can't help but want to get close, want to touch, and I can't even look away. Isn't this abnormal?Before the window paper was completely pierced, what Zoe felt was a kind of heartbeat pleasure and a faint tingling, but in general it was sweeter than painful.But when this mood finally grew to the point that even she could not continue to deceive herself, let alone sweetness, there was nothing but panic and confusion.

This is not the same as the kind of fear she finds that she is abnormal. It is buried deeper and more lasting, such as bone gangrene. If it can be regarded as having never happened before, even if she thinks that she can say "I forget it. ", not willing.In any case, it was also a precious enough emotion that came out of her heart.

"You don't understand my mood, Luna." Zoe sighed and drank the pumpkin juice, imagining that he was actually drinking a large glass of wine.

"Indeed, I don't understand." Luna said lightly. "But I can imagine the appearance of Hermione you just said--is it the same as the one behind you?"

Zoe's face changed drastically, and the pale face suddenly turned pale.She turned her head immediately and found that Hermione was swiftly-rampant, to be precise-walking across the corridor without apologizing to the student who was hurt by her, her brows curled together with obvious anger.

"It's dinner time... Why is she going to the library?" Zoe stood up in surprise and swallowed the remaining scrambled eggs in twos or twos. "Go back yourself, Luna." He hurriedly said that. Run in Hermione's direction.

******

"what happened to you?"

She finally caught up with Hermione in front of the library, grabbed her wrist, ignored the itch in her heart, and asked.

"Who—Zoe?" Hermione was startled. She looked tired, her eyes trembled. "It's dinner time!"

"I'm glad you still have a sense of time." Zoe said helplessly. "Do you think I might let you rush towards the library with an angry look? You almost ran into Mrs. Lorice. If you really stepped on it, Filch It will make you unlucky." She said sincerely, "Tell me, what happened?"

Of course Hermione needed someone who could listen to her complaints face to face. They didn't enter the library, and Mrs. Pince wouldn't want them to make noise in the library.The two found an empty classroom, but fortunately Filch hadn't had time to lock it.

"You don't know how weird my teacher in that class of divination is!" Hermione slapped the table, and her temper suddenly became very irritable. "I have been saying things that I don't know why, such as Tianmu, tea, prophecy... God God talked about it, she actually predicted Harry's death, but it was totally without warning! How could Harry suddenly die? He is now in the safest magic school in the UK!" Min raised his eyebrows, "It's impossible for him to have an accident, it's not logical!"

"Potter's death?" Zoe raised a little interest, but she could see that Hermione was angry, and said gently, "True prophecy always sounds unreasonable, but it is a very profound subject. , Hermione. I know you like to look at things in an orderly manner, but the prediction is like this, it is completely random, and the Third Eye does exist... Can I ask who your divination teacher is?"

"Sybil Trelawney. She said that books are useless as soon as the class started. Only students with a gift for prophecy can learn this course. This is nonsense. If only a few people can learn a course, It shouldn't be opened, let alone I chose another arithmetic divination. Professor Victor can speak much better than that of Trelawney." Zoe was surprised. Hermione always respected the professor. It was unprecedented for her to criticize a professor so bluntly.

"Divination is a rubbish course!"

Zoe shook his head: "That's not the case, Hermione. Prophecy is just easy to be used by some wizards indiscriminately. They can't really use the power of prophecy, and it makes the reputation of this technology bad. Even on our side. There are very few people who can really make the prediction. But if the teacher who teaches this course is Trelawney, I think you can try to accept it."

"Why? I don't think she has any abilities..."

"I don't know how powerful her divination is, but it's the best choice to have a'Trilaoni' teach divination-I don't know if you know Cassandra Trellaoni. She They are famous prophets in ancient Greece. Their family has studied this technique for generations." Zoe smiled and said, "Do you think it is too late for me to say that I want to go to the divination class? I just heard you say that you just started to learn teacup. ..."

"So you believe that the professor has some ability? Then how do you understand her prediction of Harry's death?" Hermione was not convinced, and her attitude was even a bit harsh.

"Maybe it's just a welcome prank?" Zoe said, "I just suggest you try other teaching methods, Hermione. She may be just a fake, but she may also be a genius... Of course, if you really can't accept it. That professor’s style can also be given up..."

Hermione shook her head and murmured: "Well, I will consider this opinion." She looked much more relaxed, and Zoe’s presence was a great comfort, especially when you were tired and tired after a day of class. When you are full of grievances, you certainly need someone who can stay by your side to listen to your complaints and comfort yourself.

But I always feel that Zoe is really extraordinarily...gentle?serious?Cautiously?Hermione changed a few words in her heart and couldn't describe this feeling perfectly.But she quickly let go of the idea, and asked Zoe what she had cared about since just now.

"Do you know well about divination?"

"I don't know anything, and I'm not very interested. Otherwise, I will choose divination as an elective." Zoe's tone sounded regrettable, "Will the Hogwarts electives be allowed to listen?

"But you know so many things, I have never heard the name Cassandra Trelawney before today."

"I think it's because I'm Siegel," Zoe shrugged. "We will almost go after all knowledge, at any cost. Siegel's historical trajectory is partly occupied by astrology. At that time, we mainly If you study astronomy, you will naturally turn to study predictions because of the trajectory of the stars—you know that many famous predictions are actually related to astrology.

"But our family has too few talented people in this aspect of prophecy. To become a prophet, talent is absolute, and all acquired efforts cannot allow a mediocre person to truly master this technology. And it works like this. Hidden in a cloud of mist, you can’t see all the destiny... The Siegel family didn’t have one until three hundred years ago, and there is only that one today. It’s not well-known yet.” Zoe said, and was very happy. This topic successfully attracted Hermione’s attention. “According to his own portrait, he began to brag about it every three to five times—he finally opened his Third Eye before his death, and made a prediction that no one knew except Siegel.”

"Why does no one know?" Hermione asked eagerly.
