Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Oh my God, Zoe! Did you go rolling in the mud?"

When Hermione still carried her bag and hurriedly met Zoe in the corner of the corridor, Hermione asked in surprise, her eyes widened, and the sleepiness and exhaustion on her face faded a lot.

Zoe didn't expect to run into Hermione here. She was startled, then backed abruptly, unconsciously pulling on her wrinkled robe, and stroking the falling hair. She hadn't had time to use the magic Curse cleans the dirty things on his body, even his face is stained with mud.

Without thinking, Hermione stepped forward, took the veil to help her wipe off the stains, and then waved her magic wand to come up with a "clean", and looked up and down her masterpiece with satisfaction: "What's the matter with you? Look. It looks like it fell directly into a mud pit."

"It would be better if you really fell in..." Zoe whispered, her whole body hurts all over, the pain caused by excessive exercise afflicted her, her limbs were sore and weak, and even her perception of the surrounding environment dropped a lot. , I didn't find Hermione earlier.

Her mind was hot at the time, and she actually decided to go heads-up with Margaret. The gap between Margaret and her was like an adult and a baby, although the other party's attitude seemed really strict.As long as she enters the official game, Margaret’s feeling has completely changed. She doesn’t care if Zoe is a newcomer, she just throws the ball away, throws away Zoe’s entanglement, and easily throws the ball Throw into the door hole.Ten minutes before the "match", the score became one hundred and twenty to zero. Seeing Margaret dancing alone in the sky, Zoe almost lost the strength to hold the broom.If she could use the spell, the situation could improve a little, and of course it could be worse-because then Margaret would also use the wand.

Zoe's hands and feet were numb, and she felt conscious intermittently, until Margaret lightly flashed past her again, and accidentally wiped her, Zoe turned dark in front of her eyes and fell directly off the broom.

She didn't fall directly to the ground. Margaret used her magic wand to soften the turf and turned into a mud puddle. She also swooped down, using the dexterity of catching the snitches during the game to grab her waist before Zoe was completely plunged.

When she fell on the ground, she held on to Zoe, but the first sentence was not comforting: "It's exactly the same as the outside, it's really useless."

Zoe almost didn't come up in a sigh of anger, and rolled his eyes unavoidably: "You have such a good manner, and you are so hard on a beginner."

"Huh, it is the behavior of respecting the opponent to exert all my strength. I don't like to capsize in the gutter." Margaret said righteously.Zoe lowered his head helplessly. No matter how high-sounding his words were, in the end, he said, "It's too uncomfortable to lose. I don't want to lose."

"Next time please don't come near me, Professor Margaret. Your teaching method is too dangerous-I will talk to Professor Flitwick... No, I will protest to Professor McGonagall." Zoe sighed. Face complained that she rarely acted so rudely directly in front of the professors, which she did even more clearly than Hermione.

But she always felt that she could not be calm in front of Margaret, because she had no idea what the professor would do to her.

"Huh, finally don't pretend to be polite? It's better. The child should be a little kid." Margaret rubbed her head, and Zoe jumped back like an electric shock, holding her head full. Face horrified.

But Marguerite simply ignored her mood and lay on the turf with a grin, spread her hands and feet in a gestureless pose, and tilted her head to ask her naturally: "Aren't you coming?"

Zoe shook her head, Margaret invited again, but Zoe refused.

"Then let's have another game." Margaret's eyes were definitely not joking.

Zoe was silent for a moment and decided to give in temporarily.But she didn't look like Marguerite, but found a place beside Marguerite and sat down with her knees.The Slytherins in the distance are still training, the wind hasn't waned, and they are still hurting their faces.

"How about it, do you feel great after working out?" Margaret said with a smile, stretched out comfortably, Zoe suspected that she was not enjoying herself at all. After all, for Zoe, she did her best. Say nothing.

"It's cold," Zoe murmured.She was covered with sweat and mud stains on her face and body, and when the wind blew, she got goose bumps.But she didn't express her feelings, she didn't have to think about anything, and the time she was flying in the sky made her feel extremely relaxed, especially after the messy breath calmed down after landing, it would come out of the limbs A pleasant feeling.

This kind of happiness is no better than studying in the classroom or you finally mastering a new curse. It is a completely independent and novel feeling. She can’t tell if it’s because she was sweating completely, or she actually liked it. Feeling, but Quidditch's impression in her heart has indeed changed.Of course Zoe couldn't agree with Margaret, she didn't want this strange professor to be more complacent.

She had a strange antagonism towards Marguerite. She had planned not to talk to Marguerite until her strength was restored, but the other party was even more reluctant to let her go: "Will you come next time? I will give you fifty points. how about it."

"Please allow me to refuse." Zoe replied firmly.

Chapter 23 Dialogue

"It's boring," Margaret murmured, but didn't pursue it any further.

They sat there for ten minutes without speaking, but the atmosphere was not really embarrassing."Professor Margaret, why do you do this?" Zoe asked softly.

"Of course I hope you can experience more of the fun of Quidditch." Marguerite replied shamelessly. In her way, even potential Quidditch seedlings would only die quickly because of this.She was simply enjoying the fun of Quidditch alone, and it didn't matter who she played against or who led.If the other party can't keep up with her, she won't stop.

Zoe only sighed slightly for this nonsense, but Margaret’s actions did not affect her. Although there was no chance of winning at all, every time Zoe’s full interception would be easily passed by the opponent, The offense with the ball will also be robbed in the dazzling, it can be said that there is no chance of winning.

But it just feels interesting, even if there is no chance of winning.Although she was very, very unwilling, Margaret was still very childish and did not let go of the water, but the difficulty of climbing a steep mountain unexpectedly ignited Zoe's competitive heart, just like when she was in Huo On the day Gvalz learned the spell, he failed to cast the spell for the first time in the course taught by Professor Flitwick, but he couldn't give up the feeling of trying.

"Come here." Margaret turned sideways and beckoned to her, "Don't sit so far, am I a Snow Mountain Monster?"

"You feel more like a porcupine." Zoe avoided Margaret's less serious attack, with a slight smile on his face.

But she still got close to Margaret, watching her turn over and sit up suspiciously, with grass clippings on her back.

Margaret made her move when the distance between them was long enough to reach with her arm. She pulled Zoe's robe and pulled her closer, to be precise in her arms.

"Teach, teach..." Zoe couldn't even speak. Marguerite's scent was very mixed and light. It had her own smell, the fragrance of grass and mud, and it was a little faint. She smelled of sweat, her arms were not gentle, as if it were just a routine practice, but she used a lot of strength, as if to strangle Zoe to death.

"Don't lose." After a short and short hug, Margaret's voice dropped slightly... Maybe all this was just Zoe's illusion, because she was completely confused and at a loss.

*****

Who are you talking to, this sentence.

Thinking about things in his head, he didn't even realize that he ran into Hermione.Zoe's mind was dizzy, wondering if it was because of the excessive exercise or because of the sudden encounter.Even his head started to ache for a long time, and he pierced and stabbed, and there was an unknown fire in his heart for no reason.

"What's the matter with you? Just staring at the parchment scroll won't make the letters automatically jump up and become homework, Zoe." A tired voice sounded in her ears, and Zoe found that Hermione was in a better state than her. Oops, she seemed to be drained of energy, her eyelids drooped and she looked weak, but she still managed to get up and hold the pen, and the tip of the pen was shaking up and down, but she didn't write a word.

"Did you go to bed last night, Hermione? You look like you haven't rested for three days and three nights." Zoe rolled the blank sheepskin to his side and decided not to tell Hermione that it was actually her.And he didn't even plan to do homework here.

"What... Oh, of course, I have a good rest. It's just a bit of time confusion. Can you pass me that book for me? The hard-covered book... It's just that there are a lot of recent homework. How have you been? ?"

Since they were in the third grade, Zoe hasn't been to the library with Hermione often, although she can meet Hermione who is immersed in a pile of files as long as she goes to the library.She felt that Hermione had probably taken all the electives, and Zoe could meet her no matter what.

"Not bad. Professor Snape is strict with me, but I think it is great to ask him to be my mentor." It should be said that compared to Hermione's state, any difficulty does not seem to be difficult anymore. .

Hermione shook her head, her brows furrowed, and after three years of studying at Hogwarts, she wouldn't think Snape was a good person.This man is a selfish little man, and he holds a lot of grudges, always looking for Gryffindor.But now that Zoe had decided, she still didn't say bad things about Snape directly.

"Uh, you know what I mean, Zoe." She smiled bitterly, "Why didn't Professor McGonagall agree to my request?"

"Because she still needs Miss Granger she likes to not be overworked." Zoe said, "If you keep in this state, things in astronomy class will repeat."

Hearing her saying this, Hermione glared at Zoe: "It's all your fault! I couldn't hear Professor Sinista's explanation of the zodiac!"

"I just gave you a good night's sleep. Didn't I also explain to you the content of the class at that time?" Zoe said indifferently.

"But you shouldn't chant a spell to me without notifying me! My God, I think every student in the entire classroom was listening carefully to the class, but I was lying on a woven chair and fell asleep...I I swear Professor Sinista must have a bad impression of me." Hermione was worried.

"I don't think so. She asked me to help you get another blanket to cover when she passed you..." Hermione's face sank, she stood up as if she wanted to throw the textbook on Zoe, but she Standing still for a long time, looking into Zoe's eyes, he sat down slowly.

"You are troublesome." She muttered, but she didn't mean to get angry anymore.With her cleverness, of course, it can be seen that Zoe just wants her to pay attention to her body. Although she really can't agree with this method, she can't trample on the care that her friend has finally shown.

But it’s strange that if Harry and Ron dared to do this to her, and she would definitely yell at them when her temper was about to explode, but Zoe did this, Hermione Although she was also very angry, she was able to restrain herself more. This may be because she subconsciously has a more gentle relationship with Zoe as a woman, although she herself did not realize it.

"If you stop paying attention, I might do more." Zoe didn't look at her, but said firmly.Of course she knew that Hermione would not think too much about the meaning of those special treatments, "Will you go to Hogsmeade for the weekend?" Zoe was brewing how to say this.

"Of course I want to go! It's a complete wizarding village. I remember we discussed this issue before." Hermione smiled and said, "I may set off with Harry and the others. We will gather at the three broomsticks. Do you have something to eat and we can go shopping together in the afternoon."

Zoe was dissatisfied at first, because Hermione did not consider her needs first, but she also agreed that this was a very good choice, obviously it would be the kind of decision Hermione would make and treat every friend equally loyal.

"That's not bad, I can also help Luna bring her snacks... She has been accommodating me all this time because of my problems, and I'm a little bit sad."

"Yeah, Luna is pretty good, but I... I'm not very good at communicating with her. I always think she and Professor Trelawney have a common language." Hermione complained, apparently right after returning to class. Trelawney couldn't like it.

"Has something happened recently?" Zoe asked.

"Not bad, we finally have a professor who knows how to teach defenses, and Hagrid has finally gained confidence recently — you know, his first class was a big success. By the way, Zoe, you guys too. After Bogut’s class?” Hermione said suddenly, she looked a little confused, “I always felt that some Ravenclaw students I didn’t know like to smile at me, I don’t know if it’s true or Because I'm nervous... After all, what has your Bogut become? It's a pity that Professor Lupin didn't call me." She asked curiously.

Zoe suddenly felt choked in his throat, a feeling of inadequacy.She was fortunate and regretful. Hermione did not associate the two together. Fortunately, Hermione did not have a Ravenclaw student of the same grade other than her. Otherwise, just ask, Zoe will In an unanswerable situation.
