Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Well, today my dessert belongs to you. I'm sorry, Luna. But I can't always light the light in the bedroom." Zoe said apologetically.As Luna’s roommate, she knows that the girl’s sleep has become less stable since she was attacked last year. Mrs. Pomfrey once said this is because her subconscious has a shadow on the attack, and it’s best for her to follow Coming out of the shadows, magic did not help her much.

Several times Zoe could even hear Luna's painful low groan, low and depressed, intermittently, but the next day she could always act as if nothing had happened, with a face that didn’t know if she was not asleep. Waking up is still a natural sense of haziness, and continues to live it wisely.

But to make Zoe stop studying with Snape, she couldn't give up the temptation.You must know that generally only wizards who have passed OWLs and achieved excellent grades are eligible to choose higher-level major courses. Zoe has heard more than once that senior students complain about Snape's harshness-his sixth grade potion The course only accepts students who have achieved "Excellent" grades.

And now Zoe is almost equivalent to Snape's apprentice. If you want to get the true biography of Snape, this must be the best opportunity.All prejudices aside, Snape's excellence is beyond doubt.He can easily and perfectly refine the potions that Zoe needs to refine according to the book, and he also treasures the properties, functions, and taboos of potion materials.

Because of this, Zoe felt that Snape disliked her, even though she had done the best she could do now.After another refining failure, he asked Zoe to start with the understanding of the materials, and each material must be studied.These are just written assignments after class. In Snape's office, she even needed to start again by mixing the liquid in the cauldron.

Of course, after the class, Zoe did all the chores. Fortunately, Snape allowed her to use a wand to assist in the cleaning, otherwise she would be even more sad.

"I think he is training me according to the sixth grade standard... But that's good, I did learn a lot."

"By the way, Zoe." Luna thoughtfully, "I don't think a pudding can send me."

"Don't think about it. I can give you all the dinner, only dessert is my only comfort during this time." Zoe put the parchment away, "only one day."

"I know that snatching meat from the mouth of the Hungarian hornet (an extremely ferocious fire dragon) is a dangerous act." Luna glared at her. "In another half month, you can go to Hogg by the end of October. Maud has spent the weekend, right? I saw the notice before. You can bring me some souvenirs."

Zoe nodded and promised her, it was just a trivial matter, so it would be more cost-effective to be forgiven.

"Of course you will invite Hermione. Will you two go to the Honey Duke together?" Luna said surprisingly.

"What, what—?!"

Zoe calmed himself down, Luna couldn't mean that.But she felt that her heartbeat was violent and her lips were shaking: "Well, I will ask her, but she should go with the two boys in Gryffindor... Besides, I am not always with her. I can invite Draco..."

But Luna suddenly put on a shocked expression, as if she couldn’t believe what she said: "But you should want to stay with Hermione. Every time you meet her, you almost stick your eyes on her. , And always smirk. Didn't you realize that you already rely on her a lot?"

Zoe's face turned into a sauce-red color when berries were over-ripe: "I didn't giggle! I just greeted her... I didn't rely on her either!"

She felt uneasy. If even Luna could see this state, then it would not be far from the day when Hermione noticed it.Although in order not to make Hermione feel abnormal, she would restrain herself from sticking to her close, but to maintain a sense of distance that she thought was appropriate.But it seems that just doing so cannot hide this emotion.

"What's the matter? It's okay for you to stick to her all day long." Luna said calmly, "Why are you nervous? You are friends, isn't it the most common thing to play together?"

"Look at Gryffindor's Lavender and Parvati, they are like Siamese people sometimes." Luna shrugged, "Isn't it normal to be a good friend? Why did you just get along? Will Malfoy be mentioned? That's strange."

Zoe was taken aback by what she said and couldn't help refuting: "But Draco is also my friend."

"Before that, he was a boy, Zoe. Are you a little dull about this? You can get along with Hermione, but if you and Malfoy stay alone for one night, it will be heard that you are dating the next day. The rumors, other people don’t care if you are just friends..." Luna took a breath when she saw Zoe: "How is it possible! Draco and I... are dating?!"

She shook her head fiercely, showing a flustered expression. She had never thought about this situation. She had always regarded Draco as a friend. Although he was the first to reach out to her, two people The way of getting along has never lacked passion, and Draco and her lack a common language.

She gradually calmed down. She understood Luna's meaning. Luna didn't find anything because she could only say that she deliberately kept a distance from Hermione, which was strange in the eyes of others. She was self-defeating.In the eyes of outsiders, two girls can of course be intimate, not as normal as it is said.

And transplanting their interactions to her and Draco intact will breed the so-called "ambiguity".But in fact, only Zoe knew that it was the girl, not the boy, that moved her, so she didn’t care about the little intimacy that would happen with Draco. She only had a few friends. Of course, she could only be with them. Stay together.

So should she be more relaxed?Hermione shouldn't care either, because it's "normal" for them to be more intimate...It almost becomes a sweet torment, Zoe's heart is itchy.If it weren't for Luna to break, she didn't know that her entanglement was actually strange to others. This was mainly due to her lack of communication with others in the past, and she seemed even clumsy in this respect.

"Of course I will invite her. We are friends." She smiled broadly, "Say, what do I need to bring you? Anything is fine."

Knowing that the secret has not been revealed, and that she can still approach Hermione for a reasonable reason, Zoe's fatigue is gone, and she feels full of power throughout her body.It's like drinking a large bottle of potion of hyperactivity, and there are two drops of potion of happiness in it (in fact, doing so will only poison you, don't try).She wanted to pull Luna in circles.

"Can you bring me some savory honey and mints? Mom used to like to buy them for me. And the little black pepper naughty—daddy likes the irritation of breathing fire from his ears and nose— I want to send some back. But other than that, I don't know what else is delicious." Luna thought for a while and said.

"No problem. I can ask Lloyd to send you something. It flies so fast, so you don't have to find an owl. Your dad can even receive your gift on Halloween."

"Great, this is the best gift." Luna narrowed her eyes with a smile. She looked as innocent as her age now, and she ran over and hugged Zoe.

Zoe was a little embarrassed, but also very proud. She seldom did anything to help others, and she was so bluntly thanked.This was different from how she felt when she was with Hermione, it was very relaxing.If Hermione hugged her and thanked her, she would probably be so nervous that her heart stopped beating.

"Did you have no class in the morning?" Luna asked as she packed her books, "Did you see my deformed textbook?"

"No class. There is an ancient magic text in the afternoon...Thank goodness, I can sleep in the dorm room." Zoe drew out the class schedule and said happily."As for your textbook, I have no impression. Where did you leave it?"

"It may be the lounge, I went there yesterday with a book..." Luna was a little confused.

Although it was inadvertently, Luna was able to solve a big concern for Zoe. She waved her wand and shouted "Flying textbook", and a thick book that looked a little crumpled flew into her hand from the corner. .

Satisfied, he patted the thin gray on the book, and Zoe handed it to Luna: "You have a transformation lesson in the morning, don't look for it, use mine."

Luna took the book, opened it, and found that there were notes of varying lengths everywhere on it, but most of them were Zoe's own summary of the content of the class: "This is really good, thank you."

"It's okay. Let's have breakfast together. We can also discuss the content of the class." Zoe was in a good mood, and she left the bedroom briskly.

Chapter 21

Luna blinked, stuffed the textbook into her bag, and sighed helplessly: "I accepted it like that. What a simple fool."

Every word she said to Zoe before was true, but only one thing she chose to conceal: Even if the intimacy of two girls is so common, how could it be possible for friends to have that kind of enthusiasm The look in the other person's eyes rubbing into the body?Even that look is very vague.But every time Zoe just stared at Hermione's figure, he would unconsciously show such eyes.

Although she paid attention to restraint, the effect was actually not good. What Zoe didn’t notice was that she couldn’t ignore Hermione’s figure. As long as Gryffindor appeared around, she would go after the little one. The shadow of a lion; even if she is talking about irrelevant topics, she will unknowingly lead the topic to Hermione Granger in Gryffindor; let alone when she really meets Hermione, she will He was calm, but sweaty in the palms of his hands hanging on both sides.

These daily bits and pieces are all wrong, too wrong.Luna realized that Zoe might have some special feelings for Hermione, and that feeling had absolutely nothing to do with friendship.She continued to observe calmly, becoming more and more certain of her conclusions, and finally began to test it today.

She didn't want to alarm Zoe, and deliberately used a vague tone.But don't ask, Luna's mouth twitched when Zoe said "Draco is also my friend" as a matter of course.

How dull does this person need to be able to speak such words without brain and common sense?But if you say that she is slow, her judgment of her own emotions is perfect and reasonable, she has not escaped or directly tore the status quo, and she knows to maintain the current stability before everything is pointed out.

Luna suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Draco Malfoy. Although she didn't know if Draco had more than necessary good feelings for Zoe, obviously he had no chance at all. Zoe never intended to use him in that respect. Look.

Until she finally reminded Zoe in her own way that she had done a bit too far, but Zoe’s reaction was also very interesting: she immediately believed that she had not discovered her secret, and was complacent about the new possibility-because she was right. Absolutely confident in your disguise?Still underestimated the observation ability of others?The corners of Luna's mouth rose, and she realized that she might find a new pleasure-in addition to chasing the existence of the horned snorer.

As for why not care about the possibility that Zoe likes girls?Luna just wanted to say that of course humans might like anyone, and gender is not a matter of her concern.Since Cassos can fall in love with his reflection, it is just that one girl likes another girl. What's the big deal?

*****

In the end, Zoe didn't sleep perfectly in the morning. After she separated from Luna after breakfast, she ran into Margaret in the corridor.She yawned and her back was straight, but because those eyes had not been able to completely escape from her sleep, her sword-like sharpness was also lost.

"Good morning, Professor Wellington." Zoe said hello quickly.

"Has anyone ever told you that it is very impolite to call someone who has abandoned the family?" Marguerite asked, neither salty nor indifferent.

Zoe didn't know if she was angry, but she explained, "But my roommate told me that you are still proud of your last name."

A smile flicked across Margaret's lips: "Very good. Can I ask your roommate's name?"

"You know her, Professor. She is Luna Lovegood." Zoe really felt happy seeing Margaret this time.

"Yes, yes, that kid is really funny. Did you know she used to stop me in my office the second day of school?" Margaret said enthusiastically, "I was not in the office that day, and had a private business... …It was later told by our amiable Sir Nicholas, that the child has something on his mind, can I help her out?"

Zoe is very happy. Luna's idol obviously pays attention to her: "Well...I don't know whether to say it or not-but she cares about what you said at the opening ceremony."

Margaret suddenly realized that she scratched her head: "Sure enough, shouldn't I just say it directly? The headlessness will indeed affect some people." Zoe felt that her statement was too modest. The next day Most people are confused, not just "some people", not just "affected".

"I was a little airy at the time. You have to understand my desire to announce to the world. There have always been some...problems between us, and because of my profession, I have to play games everywhere and make it dirty and tired. But these are not problems now." Margaret rubbed her hands and smiled shyly.

"Congratulations, professor."
