Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"What are we going to do?" Little Dwarf asked.He locked Moody and stuffed it among the tattered magic props.

"Muggles must come out only after hearing the sound. We can't say that nothing happened. This will only arouse the suspicion of the investigator..." Little Barty thought for a few minutes, "Moody is a suspicious person. Even if he is really sharp, others obviously think this is just an old madman. So why don't we make this impression more prominent?"

"For example, how about a dustbin that sprays trash at intruders?"

"Rita Skeeter is indeed a very unique person." Max leaned in the corner, looking rare and relaxed, instead of smiling, holding a copy of the "Daily Prophet" in her hand. The photo of the crazy parade after the World Cup was put on the front page above.In the world here, as long as they are actually owned, most of them can be simulated and reproduced.

"'Look at what our increasingly incompetent Ministry of Magic's burnout has caused year after year...A criminal failed to catch, officials would just shrink in tents, or go around like headless flies. Turn...The safety of the people could not be guaranteed, and the property suffered astonishing losses, but the Ministry of Magic refused to admit it... Mr. Mondungus Fletcher claimed that he had lost his twelve bedrooms and A tent with a jacuzzi...someone should stand up and be responsible for the lives and property of the people...'"

But the other person is totally unwilling to communicate with her. How much she wants to stab the woman in the stomach, and then watch her bleed to death with cold eyes. This is the first time since she was born that she has explicitly killed someone. .But she was only tied to the stage. Even though the mental pain is usually very weak, the mental humiliation is more obvious.

"I forgot it by accident." Max slowly untied Zoe from the restraint, watching Zoe sit up suddenly, and naturally caught the slap that Zoe threw with all his strength, "If there is a knife here... There is a knife..." Zoe murmured: "Are you going to kill me? Although I don't think you can do it."

Max’s natural attitude always makes Zoe’s emotions explode. She really doesn’t understand where this person’s amazing confidence and arrogance come from. If she’s been locked here for so many days and nights, she Can you say this too?During this time, Zoe could only watch the sky that represents the change of time. It was bright and dark, dark and bright, but he could not perceive anything, because Max was so much stronger than her, she could prevent herself from seeing it if she wanted to. anything.

"Actually, there is no difference between you and me, except for our soul." Max looked at her, "You always put yourself in the weak position. That's why you can never resist me."

"Nothing makes a difference... Can I isolate you from prying eyes? Can I squeeze you out of my body?" Zoe gritted his teeth. "Did you really try? I said What I need is a growing sample, not a poor creature who can only admit his fate. When the World Cup is over, I gave up control of you, and that was already half a month ago. But you still Without trying to break free, you are accustomed to being locked here, accustomed to the indefatigable weakness."

"Or do you think there is a difference in experience between me and you? I know a lot of magic that you don't know, but you haven't learned it... This is fallacy. I said that apart from our souls are exactly the same... Double eyes, don’t you think Professor Dumbledore’s eyes are beautiful? I adjusted them."

"What do you want to say..." In fact, Zoe fully understands what she means, but is it really possible to do something like this: "Of course it can be done, since my father's generation can do it, and he is more difficult than me. , I just created another me, and what he created is a brand new life form."

"You mean grandpa..." Zoe said in disbelief, trying hard not to let himself be shaken, that fragile, gentle old man?But in fact, she knew it in her heart. She had never tried to understand anyone in the past. Even if it was the relatives who accepted her and brought her home, they had never been open and honest.

"So I won’t have any difficulty in merging into this body. I once said that everything about you comes from me. This is never a lie, Zoe. Everything about you does not belong to you, only this thin, weak Your soul is you...Haven’t you ever, no matter you learn any spell or read any book, you can quickly understand, quickly accept its essence and try to make changes...Don’t you ever feel that your peers around you even Are adults all idiots? You only need to learn things in a moment, but they need to spend more energy to think that they are a genius, not once?

What can Zoe say?She could even see the confusion and fear in her heart growing and growing up, her self-righteous ability to blow up her like a balloon, but Max’s words were like a needle, just touched gently One cut skin, it leaked.When the qi inside leaked completely, he found that there was nothing in his stomach.

If this body does not belong to me, then who am I, who can I be."Why do you little guy always go to the horns? Even if this physical talent does not belong to you, it is still something you can't decide. But all the decisions you make, every path you take, belong to you only." Mike Si looked at her, "So you are going to fall down because of this truth? Or do you have to make up your mind to stand up? By the way, I will use your body to kill all the people you think is important one by one. Of course, I will force you to watch it."

"You!" A shuddering cold rushed through Zoe's heart. She and Max looked at each other. There was no smile in those eyes. This is serious. "You want to escape after doing this?!" "Of course not. You know that I am never obsessed with being alive. If your observation fails, then after Tom is resurrected, I will have nothing more to do." Max closed his eyes, "Tell me about you." Decide,"

Chapter 30 The Fourth Year, School Start

"Morning, Draco." Zoe greeted the long-awaited Draco in front of the platform, and Draco glanced at her. "You look like you haven't slept all night. Give me the box." The moment Zoe didn’t notice, Draco took away the small suitcase in her hand, “I told my mother to go back first. She wanted me to get in the car and find a box first. I let Crabbe and the others go. found."

"Sorry, Draco." But Zoe took the box back again, and she said wearily, "Can you give me some time? Today I want to be alone, I don't want to chat, I want to sort out my mood. Don't worry, I will be back to normal when I get out of the car."

"Well, what's the matter with you?" Draco frowned and looked at her. "You were as cold as a queen during the World Cup. Why didn't you see me for more than half a month and became bashful... Well, if you have What do you want me to say..."

Zoe's face looked worse, and she wanted to scream at the thought of Max messing around with her body."What did you just say, Draco? I didn't hear you clearly." But Draco couldn't pull his face down and repeat what he said a second time. He just promised to talk to Luna and not let her bother. she was.Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she was abnormal now and couldn't explain to others in detail.

"What about Hermione Granger?" Draco mentioned the name before he left, and Zoe's heart jumped, "Uh, why did you ask her suddenly?" Draco looked at her strangely: "Since you If Lovegood and I told you not to let her disturb you, of course I have to ask Granger." He remembered the weird thing that happened during the World Cup finals, "I don’t have to wear that stupid badge and walk around. ,right?"

"What are you talking about, what badge?" Draco handed her the SPEW badge in embarrassment: "Merlin is here, and your aura at the time is completely irrefutable. If that person is not you, I will directly Shake this thing in his face." He tossed the badge up and down irritably: "You don't have to wear it, Draco." Zoe looked at him in surprise, "You would join, I thought you were the world It is impossible for Shang to agree with people who join this organization." So she didn't even intend to persuade him.

"It’s not because you made me fantasize about something weird. If it’s not because you didn’t hold the wand, I think you had cursed me. Or is it because you learned something from Professor Snape and added a hallucinogen to In my meal?"

Zoe shook his head, but Draco didn't really think so."Hermione's thing...I don't want to hear it anymore. I want to keep a distance from her." Draco heard her say this, with a look of surprise and realization: "That's why you had that attitude back then? You two quarreled," he asked amusedly, his tone full of schadenfreude.

"If you do this, I will break your relationship with you, Draco." Zoe looked at him angrily, and immediately became frustrated: "It's nothing to us, she keeps me away... Can you blame me? I won’t continue to post it. If she feels that it doesn’t matter, then we can just be ordinary friends."

Draco was about to say that this was a quarrel, but Zoe glared at him, his eyes seemed to tell him not to say something."Well, I don't care about the two of you. I hate Gryffindor. Not to mention that the know-it-all lady always wants to show off that she knows everything..."

"She didn't!" Zoe woke up suddenly, "It doesn't matter to me what she is, I don't want to listen at all. I have a lot of things to deal with, and she can solve it by herself." Draco shrugged. It was funny because of her previous angry rebuttal.

"Draco." When the two were about to set foot on the train, Zoe stopped him and said vaguely: "If you compare me in the World Cup with me now, do you think that is better?" Draco Stunned: "What is your weird question? Isn't that all you?"

"I just want to ask, nothing else." Zoe tried to make himself look natural: "Don't you think I was too weak before? You see, if I am not from the Siegel family, if I In fact, I shouldn’t be in Ravenclaw but go to Hufflepuff-I don't mean to look down on them-if I wasn't a genius from the beginning, all this would have disappeared, and I was just an ordinary, There is no such talented wizard."

Draco didn't know what she was thinking about again: "Yes. You really surprised me half a month ago. You are charming, powerful and confident, and have that tough attitude that no one can dispute. Standing alone is like shining."

"Sure enough, it's still the best..." "But it's too oppressive, I hate it." Draco stretched his hands, his expression didn't seem to be fake, "It's enough for me to have a Meg like this. But how can the only son of the Malfoy family be suppressed so aggrieved? We are obviously friends, aren't we?

"It's really not taking care of other people's moods at all. You will be hated by girls like this, Draco." Draco exclaimed uncomfortably, "How is it possible! I just said you don't have to force yourself to be cold." , I don’t know what happened to you, and I can’t take care of it. But whether you are strong or weak, I still think the familiar one is the best."

*****

Putting his head on the window, looking at the fast-moving woods and plains outside the window, the heavy rain hit the glass, sliding down the water column, making everything blurred.A bright light flashed in the clouds from time to time, and the dull thunder roar blew up in the field, even if it was indoors, with layers of protection, even if it was slightly distorted, it could be heard clearly.

Although it was against the rules, Zoe used a spell to lock the box.Several people wanted to ride with her before, but she ignored them all, and rarely showed threatening rejection to those rude words.Although for many people, only need to report their names to resolve disputes.

She recalled the conversation with Max yesterday. Even though she was not to be outdone there, whether it was from the heart or being coerced to move forward, she had no choice but to continue on this path.But the confusion will never disappear.She looked back on her very short life, thinking in every detail, which things belonged to her and which things did not belong to her.

She needs to find a reason to continue working hard, whether it is fighting for others or fighting for herself, she needs to know that her life is meaningful, not a doll manipulated by others, but to do it by herself Decision.

What she has to admit is that Max's remarks are correct.Even if the knowledge is only asleep, it does not mean that she did not get them.Max always gave her some hope-like comfort when she was facing despair. She talked about Snape and his potions. Max herself had never studied so deeply; she talked about the patron saint, this It's the only thing that really belongs to Zoe.

"Hushen guard." A cloud of silver mist sprayed out from between the rods and floated in front of Zoe. Of course, she had not slackened her understanding and learning of the patron saint curse, but her patron saint had not yet formed its final shape. She always progresses slowly on this spell, but as long as there is fog, she is a beginner.

She wrapped her fingertips around the mist, watching them slip through her fingers and wandering in the carriage, but felt relieved.Since we want to move forward, we must be more urgent.She needs to find a teacher who is proficient in Occlumency, and for this she needs to talk to Dumbledore. She also has to tell him that something about Voldemort will happen at Hogwarts, so that he will be more vigilant.

But when she thought of Dumbledore, she had a thorn in her heart. Max said that he obviously knew a lot, but he hadn't done much.Of course she had reason to believe that Dumbledore knew about his special situation, so why he would never talk to Zoe about it, even if it was a small chat, never once.Obviously these are the first things she should know.

As Draco said, Zoe did not rest all night.She felt a headache like a needle stick, which both pained her and kept her awake.She couldn't sleep at all and could only constantly force herself to think.Even the passing of bedtime seemed to become a kind of horror to her.

Draco said that she would just keep the look familiar to him, without having to force herself to change, but what should she be like?What should I do?What kind of person does she want to be?Her height has changed a lot this year, and her robes have been re-made three sets. To match her growth, Mrs. Narcissa even took her to buy a brand new dress for her fourth-grade prom.Compared with last year, she has indeed become more mature, but the troubles have tripled and become more connected.She is sensitive enough, but this kind of feeling at a loss is rare.

She had always been blindfolded and walked forward, and now the person holding her released her hand, and it happened that Max violently tore the cloth covering her sight. When she opened her eyes, she found herself Hanging high in the sky, there is only a thin rope at the foot.Of course she could not fall, but she could no longer pretend not to see.

If she was a few years ago, this box would definitely make her feel comfortable. There is no one, and it isolates all the malicious and well-intentioned one-person world from outside.Feel uncomfortable with all strangers who dare to invade.But now she looked at the box, she was the only one who was empty, and turned around to look at the closed door of the box were students coming and going.

"It's so lonely." This is the sincerity that can only be said when you are alone, "It's really annoying, you can only be alone."

Chapter 31 Autumn Zhang

After getting off the train, Zoe took the initiative to find Draco. Unexpectedly, Luna was also standing by, but Draco just turned aside and said nothing more."This is really strange, have you two started getting along well?"

"You think it's good-" Before Draco finished speaking, Luna said, "What's the matter, Zoe? Malfoy said before that you don't want to see anyone, but I think you should Will come to him, so I will act with him."

"Sorry, Luna." Zoe said apologetically. "I need to sort things out. They mess up my mind. Are you in the same car as Draco?" Luna shook her head. No, I sat with Ginny. She is in the same grade as me, and she's pretty good." Luna looked at her, "but I've got a lot of topics to talk to you, but you are not... I think at least a muffin is needed to soothe the mood, the kind filled with maple syrup and cream."

"There is a store in Hogsmeade that sells this. Next time we can go to that store for tea together, I think you are hinting at me, right? Don't worry, I can treat you as many times as you want." Lu Na blinked and looked at Zoe who was very interested: "So you should be in a much better mood?" She also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not bad. Sometimes you can really think of a lot of things by yourself." Zoe avoided this topic. She still had no face to say that she felt lonely and became so interested in seeing friends.

"Hey, why do you always like to exclude me." Draco said dissatisfied. After Zoe said sorry to him, the three of them walked forward for a while, "I'm going to meet Gore and the others later. ."

"Hey, won't you go with us?" Zoe asked him, but instead got Draco's eyes. "No, we boys have their own topics, and those of you girls can't talk. "So Zoe knows that he is still awkward.

"I apologized, Draco!" Zoe shouted."Okay, okay, just a little bit because of what happened just now. I can't always walk with you all the time, right? I have to go back to Slytherin soon." Draco sighed. "It will be this year. Many big things have happened, and I have heard from my father."

He glanced at the two girls triumphantly, but it didn’t matter: “The Triwizard Tournament has been restarted, and the Ministry of Magic has moved three schools, including Hogwarts. They plan to host Hogwarts this year. Location, re-ignite the Goblet of Fire!"

"No wonder Dumbledore has been busy during this time. He must have meetings with other school leaders..." Zoe fell silent as he spoke. Will Max have been busy this time? They set the goal on the Triwizard Tournament?But this is Hogwarts!It was the school where Dumbledore was the principal. He certainly couldn't let this happen. Wouldn't Max know this?
