Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Hermione first opened her eyes slightly and showed an incredible expression, but Zoe did not see even a trace of disgust in her eyes, as if she was not waking up. Hermione froze for a while, and then actually closed. With eyes closed, the body also leaned towards her.

Even if Zoe had all kinds of thoughts, none of them was Hermione who would take the initiative to respond to her.This made her feel at a loss and stopped her movements, only thinking that all of this was probably a dream, because it was too unreal. She was clearly prepared to be pushed away, but Hermione But he leaned up.Does she really know what she is doing?Zoe couldn't help but think so.

But all this is not a dream at all, this is an undeniable reality. Zoe felt the flap of her lips touched by Hermione’s soft lips, and the astonishing heat descended there like fire, as if Hermione was on her lips badly. After the magic was applied, she felt that her reason was about to leave her body, but the desire was like experiencing a big explosion, and Zoe could not control herself to stop.

Zoe is like learning and repeating everything that Barbara had brought her attention before, recalling the details of the scenes that happened at the time, but her actions were only rusty and clumsy, even if she knew how to do it in her mind, but she Her shame and reservedness, as well as timidity and thirst were all mixed together, she still had to rub Hermione's lips in the most primitive way, and then put them on, even if it made her dizzy.

Hermione's lips still had the sweet taste of chocolate before, but the taste of this kid's snack at this time was also like a lust-catalyst, which made Zoe even more uncontrollable.To her surprise, Hermione did not reject her as expected. She was not the only one who was bewitched by this weird atmosphere. She didn't want to think about the reason Hermione catered to her kiss. They were just immersed in the sensational atmosphere. Here, they can only look at each other in their eyes, and can't think of other things at all.

The flame in Zoe's mind burned more and more, so that she was a little drowned in it and couldn't see the direction.She began to learn to use bolder movements, not just touching, but gently sucking and biting Hermione’s upper lip, and then switching to her lower lip. Even though the movements were still clumsy, it was not childish anymore. Behaving like a slapstick.

Hermione did not resist at all. She was just passive but actively accepting all this. She held Zoe and was immersed in a moving sense of ambiguity. Things that had been well hidden by reason and common sense in the past suddenly took off. A pointed corner came out.The attraction is like a magnetic field that attracts the two magnets at the same time, and then the two people directly collide together.

When this frankness and boldness was finally exhausted, Hermione was only able to let her hazy head act completely instinctively because of the influence of chocolate, but it was a very short dream.When the tip of Zoe's tongue touched her, it was like an illusory bubble shattered, and the fog in Hermione's eyes finally cleared, she froze, and then her body trembled.

"I...we..." she stammered, her face twisted from panic, "we do this... do this..." She pushed Zoe away, and moved back, holding her arms as hard as she could. After thinking about something, his face became painful for a while, and confused for a while."Hermione, what are you..." "Don't come here yet, Zoe." She leaked a faint voice from her mouth, and the pleading inside made Zoe unable to approach anymore, "My mind is messy...please let me think first Thinking..." But she was still too weak, and she fell down before she lasted long.

"Hermione!" Zoe tried to stand up, but she finally reached the limit. The nervousness before was splashed with cold water, happiness, hope, confusion, anxiety and pain flooded, Zoe With a soft foot, he threw himself on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 73 Between Dreams

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. Was it irritated by Meg and Barbara? You are not as cautious as you were before."

The world seems to be divided into two from the middle line, with emerald green grass on one side and gray basement on the other. There is no general description as a boundary, but the best boundary is the middle of the conflicting scenery.Zoe watched vigilantly at Max, who was leaning on the stone platform and talking to her amusingly, and slowly sat down next to the tree trunk."Have you been spying on my privacy all the time? It's really disgusting. Isn't Professor Barbara your lover before? What's your mood? Watching your past lover and friends walking together, throwing away your decision to go on happily Like?"

"Zoe, do you know a word?" Max looked as usual, and his brown eyes looked at her as if looking at an object. "That is, don't just provoke someone better than you. That's very stupid. Behavior. Especially your strength is still so weak, before you can tear my throat..."

"Thank you for your advice, aren't you still chained?" Zoe felt a lot of anger. This was because she was already very anxious. Hermione's final refusal was like Ice water splashed on her face, and Max’s tone seemed to be mocking her and added fuel to the fire, “Like you, Professor Barbara was really blind to like you back then, you just Think of her as an existence like me, don’t you? It’s safe and controllable, and able to juggle freely, and throw it away if you don’t want it."

"Barbara really didn't look very good, she was blinded by the beautiful hallucinations, even I gave a hint and didn't run away." Max said, "But Zoe, why do you think so, think you and Her position in my heart is the same? You are just a planned prop, a stranger who suddenly appeared in front of me now, even if you are my child, what about it? Barbara has a better position than you It’s so tall, I used to like her a lot."

With her statement, even if Zoe felt that she didn't care at all whether Max could pay her overdue family ties, she still couldn't help but feel strong hatred.Obviously, she was born into this world without expectation, but look at what she has encountered in the past years. From the Ministry of Magic to the public, they all seem to have committed some unforgivable sins. Beware of all accusations against her. You can only live in pain, trapped by malice and hostility.Dumbledore always emphasized that she was loved, but her birth seemed to be just a joke from the mouth of the person who was her mother.

"That's great. It just so happens that you hate me more than Voldemort in my heart, and we don't need to pretend to be with each other and say something like'friendship'." Zoe sneered, this is her. For the first time in a while, he expresses hatred for Max outright.She will come to this place as long as her consciousness falls into a deep sleep, but it is slightly different from the previous mind scene. It seems that this is just the realization of consciousness, that is, the existence like a dream.

"Why not? It is a novel experience for me to fight with someone every day, and to be honest, I am somewhat interested in you. You did something incredible today that I couldn't even imagine. Of course I hope I can say more to you so that I can see if this is just an accident? Or is it another anomaly?"

Max’s nonchalant smile always puts great pressure on Zoe. The implied sense of superiority is like human beings facing animals: "Zoe, why can you use a patron saint? Just given by me You, who was born after everything, have actually achieved what I have never been able to do. Even if it is just a cloud of fog, you will be able to complete this spell in time."

"It turns out that there is something my mother of peerless genius can't do? It seems that you are nothing remarkable." Although he has realized that Max doesn't care about being ridiculed by himself, Zoe still can't restrain his desire to stimulate her. "Yes, no matter how I try and adjust it, only the patron saint curse is the most troublesome for me." Max just confessed indifferently, "It's a curse that doesn't depend on magic or skill. I can’t master it, even if it’s the basic silver mist like you did before, I can’t use it.”

"Sure enough, you bastard has been spying on my consciousness...before I was in a coma and then was taken away by a werewolf. You must be manipulating everything in between. What have you done!" Zoe stood still. She got up and rushed to the dividing line between the two worlds, but she hesitated and did not take a step forward and entered Max's territory.

"Smart but stupid boy, Zoe." Max smiled. "Indeed, as long as you dare to come in now, even if I am still bound by Barbara, I have many ways to torture you and make you fall apart. ...But why do you seem to be completely ignorant, you will know that you will be controlled by me tomorrow morning, don’t you? Because my power is far better than you, so I can spy on you, but you cannot. You have seen When I arrived at that name, I also learned a little bit about the matter during the conversation with Hermione ("You are not allowed to call her name!"), can't you really think of what I did?"

"Hermione told me that Sirius was innocent, and Pettigrew escaped. You deliberately let Peter Pettigrew away, but you are certainly not because of pity for your past companions-because people like you have no such feelings. . That means his existence is still valuable to you. What you want him to do is something you cannot do in your current state..." An idea took root in her head, "You want him Go to Voldemort?"

"A truthful fact, Zoe." Max said, "Since it was so difficult to escape from Hogwarts, the poor betrayer has been ruined. It only takes one night for the Daily Prophet to publish it. Everyone will know the truth. The Ministry of Magic will also desperately want and hunt him, in order to restore his reputation... But Dwarf will escape. He is different from Blake at that time. He is experienced in hiding his whereabouts."

"You really want to resurrect him because he is your lover?"

"Because Tom is my kind and my fellow, Zoe." Max's tone became more gentle, "I learned a lot from Tom, and he can even be regarded as my teacher. We are all Paying attention to death, the difference is that Tom pursues immortality, and what I pursue is—" She paused, "Even if I was denied because of something that happened before. But death itself is a kind of eternity. I will never give up no matter how many hundreds of years have passed."

"And you only destroyed the things of your precious fellows last year. I only feel hypocritical that this behavior matches your statement. That diary must have something to do with your research."

"Of course, this idea is correct. But that diary is something special, for Tom, destroying his past self is also an inevitable choice." Max said, "That diary is too'real' It’s Tom’s origin. Or do you think the frightening Dark Lord would want to find a childish and innocent thing full of him?"

"Are you justifying your behavior? I really don't understand you..." Zoe gritted his teeth. "As long as I ask questions, you tell me all the truth. Are we talking about tomorrow's dinner? List?! Are you not afraid that I will expose all of this?"

"Then who can you tell?" Max seemed to have seen everything about her, "Tell the Ministry of Magic? Give them a ready-made handle,'The child's body contains her mother's soul, and that soul is trying to take away the body', As long as you speak, no one will want to let you survive, even those who have been tolerant to you in the past will hesitate. Or do you want to tell Lucius? Tell your friends? You can't do it, Zoe Because you are scared."

"You have always thought,'Lucius treats you kindly because of me.' If you tell him, do you think he would be more willing to see me or see you? You dare not bet , You are not as secure as you think, Zoe. Tell your friends that it looks like a good choice, but you won’t do it. They can’t help you. You know this better than anyone else. The topic of "will only cover your relationship with a haze. You don’t want to see the ending like this, so no one of you will tell, even Hermione."

"Then I can tell Dumbledore." Zoe knows that everything Max said is true. This woman may be because she is always watching. She can see through many things easily, but Zoe doesn't want to just She was led by her nose like this, "Dumbledore will not refuse me, he is the greatest wizard, even Voldemort is jealous of him, and..."

"And he knows more inside stories than you think. It doesn't make much sense to tell him." Max added what Zoe hadn't said, and showed a thoughtful look. "Indeed, even I can't guess that. Thorough. Professor Dumbledore is a difficult man. When I studied under him before, I thought he was very powerful, not just a spell—I couldn’t master this person. If it were him, I wouldn’t even know something. Strange...Although it is very strange."

She did not hesitate to answer Zoe’s confusion: "After all, only Tom and I know your business. Do you expect Tom and Professor Dumbledore to write letters regularly to exchange feelings? But if the traitor revealed the news, then again Who is it? That’s why I said it was strange, but also very interesting."

The sky gradually brightened, and it pierced the darkness that had been shrouded in dreams like a sharp sword. It was not the first time Zoe saw this scene, because it indicated that she should leave.But she found that she didn't want to return to reality that much, and didn't want to wake up.The reason is obvious.

"Hermione..."

Chapter 74 The Crack (Part 1)

"Hmm..." A faint voice came out of the girl's mouth on the hospital bed, her eyelashes trembled, her eyes slowly opened, still with a hazy mist.The zenith of the infirmary is very familiar, at least Zoe comes in almost once a year for various things, but Madam Pomfrey's technique is beyond doubt, she can no longer feel the sharp pain before.

But when I wake up, I will feel emptiness and fatigue sincerely."Are you awake?" There was a sound of footsteps, followed by a gentle voice from Madam Pomfrey (who is already familiar with her voice because he comes in every year), "Let’s take a break, I’ve seen it before. Your injury is basically a less serious skin injury, but your spirit was overdrawn, so you passed out."

She put a cup on the bedside cupboard: "Drink more hot cocoa to replenish energy, you have already missed breakfast-but the little girl who was still by your side before should bring you something. I have rushed her to the cafeteria. She got up from bed early this morning. Even if I told her that you were just asleep, I still have to wait stubbornly for you to wake up, and I was so weak yesterday...Last year She is with her the year before, and your relationship is really good. She is a great friend."

She smiled at Madam Pomfrey, without letting her feel her stunned: "Yes, Madam Pomfrey, I can't even express my gratitude to her by words... Hermione's body What? Is she okay?"

"She has fully recovered, don't worry, child." Madam Pomfrey said, "Thanks to your emergency treatment before, so my treatment is very effective. You fed her chocolate, right (she Didn’t notice that Zoe’s face turned red instantly)?" She looked at Zoe with a loving look, "Actually, I did hear about something that happened yesterday... Alas, poor Remus, he waited. The meeting should come to apologize to you. We found him in the depths of the Forbidden Forest last night-Albus swept the dementors out this morning. They should have been notified by the Ministry of Magic yesterday, but Because of that accident... Albus was very angry. He didn't want to let the dementors enter the school, not to mention that these dementors violated the rules again and attacked you this time."

She sighed: "Well, when will this school be able to restore its proper calm? I have worked here for so many years, but there have been more incidents in these years than in the past few decades. I always feel that There will be more things happening. They are like a sign... Protect yourself, child. Each of you is."

Zoe was about to sit up on the bed when the door creaked open. Hermione looked like she was lost in her thoughts. She frowned, holding a plate with two sandwiches on top."Your friend is back. Let's have a good chat with her instead of listening to my old lady's complaints." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile, and she went inside intimately and closed the door.

"Morning, good morning, Hermione." Zoe always felt embarrassed. She didn't dare to look directly at Hermione's face, so she focused all of her attention on a shelf in front of her eyes.

"Huh?!" Hermione's reaction was greater than hers. She heard Zoe say hello to her and finally recovered from her own world, "Morning, early."

"Eat or something to eat?" She lifted the plate without looking at Zoe. "I wanted to bring you something richer, but only sandwiches are the most convenient." Zoe took the plate and they happened to Hermione's fingers touched, and Hermione almost threw the plate off as if she had been electrocuted. Zoe sighed silently, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I happen to want a sandwich too. Thank you, Hermione."

The next two were just silent, only the slight noise made by Zoe chewing made the atmosphere less dead, but the inevitable embarrassment and alienation still appeared in the hearts of both people at the same time.

"How, taste?" Hermione couldn't help breaking the balance at last, "They used corned beef today. I don't know if you like it..."

"I think these elves are like roundworms in my stomach. They can make something I like every time. Don't you think that adding a little lettuce leaf to the corned beef sandwich is a creative idea? Especially this lettuce? Ye is quite bitter, and I can feel the resentment of cattle and vegetables." Having said that, Zoe's face showed a very painful look.

"You are really, if you don't like it, can you just say it straight?" Hermione reluctantly took the remaining sandwich. She looked relaxed, at least her face improved, "Are you very picky? Zoe?" She noticed the cup that Madam Pomfrey had set aside, and found it was hot cocoa and handed it to Zoe.

"No, but I hate lettuce leaves and there are a lot of bitter foods." Zoe took a big gulp before continuing, "By the way, I also hate sour and spicy things." Hermione Sigh, this statement is almost indistinguishable from "I'm very picky."

"What about the sweet one?" Now that the answer is already known, this is pure ridicule: "Of course the sweeter the better. Only the sweets are different. If I can choose, I will eat sweets for three meals a day. "Zoe also said in a lively tone, and she was secretly relieved when she saw Hermione laugh at her words.

"That's not good. You will become fat directly like blowing air because you eat too much sweets. And it will not do any good for your body." Just when Zoe thinks she will become a long-speaking Hermione. When talking about her, Hermione did not go further, "What did Mrs. Pomfrey say? Do you still need to keep quiet?"

Zoe shook her head. She noticed that Hermione was starting to lose her mind again: "No, I just need to rest for a while, about half a day or so, and then I can leave at any time." The final exams are all over. Hogwarts is studying this school year. It can be regarded as an end, anyway, there is nothing to do, even if Zoe stays in the infirmary bed all day, there will be no trouble.

"When we go back, let's take a carriage," Zoe said.Hermione blinked and forced a smile: "Oh, not this time, Zoe... I have promised Harry and Ron to ride a carriage with them." Zoe was disappointed, but if Hermione She has already made a promise, and she doesn't want to ask Hermione to accommodate her willfully, "Well, it's a pity, I will be the first to invite you next time...Where will we meet when we get off the bus? Gran Mrs. Jie, did they pick us up at the station platform?"

Hermione became more fidgety, her eyes were erratic, her mouth opened several times as if she was about to say something, but she swallowed it again, until Zoe finished speaking, she took a deep breath and whispered: "About About that matter, I just sent them a letter, Zoe."

Her ears slowly turned red because of shame. Hermione kept telling herself that she was ready for all the next steps. She felt very despicable, but she still said weakly, "I told them you said this year’s The itinerary has already been arranged, so I won't go to our house for summer vacation..." Zoe opened his eyes in shock, couldn't believe what he heard, only felt his ears buzzing.

"What did you say?" She tentatively said in a joke tone first: "Well, you made me laugh, Hermione." But when she saw Hermione look away guilty and silent, she felt that Every drop of blood began to flow backwards, and in the end it all poured into her mind, "This is not something to be used as a joke, Hermione." When she said this coldly, there was already a slight expression on her face. No more.
