Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

But it didn’t seem to work for the little girl. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "My name is Daisy, Daisy Longbottom! How do you want to be stupid now? Zoe Seager Yeah!"

Longbottom... Zoe thought for a while, and finally found out from the pain of his memory that he had been mentioned in the trial in the past. Max Siegel tortured the Longbottoms to the collapse, and then associated For a moment, it's no surprise that the little girl in front of her will be angry at herself.But it is not fun to be hostile for something she has never done before, she is trying to refute it.

"Fight me, Siegel." But the freshman in this grade suddenly took out his wand, as if he didn't know that the person standing in front of her was one of Hogwarts' best fourth graders ( Maybe I really don’t know), the attitude is very firm.

Chapter 36 The Quarrel

As the students walked while chatting, the team was moving slowly, and Daisy did not lower her voice, causing her to be heard clearly by students who hadn't left in at least half of the auditorium.Crowds have always been a breeding ground for gossip. People who want to watch the excitement, those who are worried about it, and those who want to leave quickly, are all crowded together. The line suddenly becomes chaotic and blocked at the door, even just now. The slow progress also stopped.

Zoe sighed in disgust, although she didn't show it on her face.Since the little girl in front of her said the words just now, she has sensitively noticed many sights shooting from all directions either directly or invisibly. There are even more scorching sights on the little man in front of her for a year, probably Waiting for her to reply., She was calm on the surface, but the constant tapping of her right foot on the floor exposed her anxiety.

"Longbottom, miss." Zoe said.The girl's shoulders trembled, and she frowned and looked up at her."Although I probably know why you want to fight with me, but please forgive me for rejecting it. I don't want to bully a little wizard who just held a magic wand, and I don't want to take responsibility for the incident that I didn't make a mistake at all." Zoe feels much more comfortable, if it was before, she probably couldn't say these words directly.

"Little, little wizard? How dare you look down on me! I am a child from the Longbottom family. Do you think just a few years of age difference can give you the confidence to win?" Daisy exclaimed angrily, between the wand. Pointing directly at Zoe's face: "Hey, it's dangerous, so put it down quickly." Zoe frowned and called her, trying to reach out to drive her wand, before Daisy dropped it."You don't need to tell me. It's despicable to point the wand at an opponent who doesn't raise it. I don't want to be scolded by grandma.

I really want all Hogwarts students to hear this, especially Gryffindor, who is full of impulse and recklessness (there are no shortage of students who ignore the rules in other colleges, but Gryffindor is especially popular)."Do you want to run away, Siegel! Do you want to back down just because a little kid asks you for a duel?"

Why does this child think this kind of low-level provocation will work on her?But it doesn't seem to be an irony on purpose. Could it be that this girl is not as clever as she thought?Zoe noticed that the flow of people had stopped long ago, and she didn't want these unrelated people to listen to gossip.

"Just stop pestering me, can't you?" She warned in a low voice with a headache, "Do you want the whole school to know what happened in your house? Hope everyone knows that your parents are now lying in St. Mungo's magical injuries In the hospital, and are you stupid? This is of no use except to bring them novel topics!"

Daisy showed a faltering expression. It sounded reasonable to say what Zoe said, but she felt that she was too embarrassed to shrink back here: "You are really mean. Do you want to stop this duel with this reason?"

"Why are you bothering me? If it's because of something that happened in the past, it wasn't me who did it!"

"I know that you were not the one who caused the result." Daisy gritted her teeth. "But as a member of the family, isn't it natural to bear the gratitudes and hatreds of the previous generation? We share honor and disgrace, this is the family! I will not I have to fight you not because I have opinions about you, but to resolve the hatred of the previous generation. It is precisely because the parties concerned have no way to resolve it with their own hands. As their children, shouldn't they take the initiative to resolve this matter? She may have heard what Zoe said, and she lowered her voice when the two talked.Even if the onlookers are curious about the development of things, it is impossible to post them carelessly.

"Then we will solve it in another way. Why do we have to fight." Daisy looked at her in surprise: "Do you think the problem between our two families can be solved through chat? Don't avoid it, Xi Gehr, if you still have a bit of self-esteem, draw your stick and agree that even if there is casualties, you will not be held accountable."

Zoe has only this moment, wants to throw her body directly to Max, and let her clean up the mess by herself."Do you think I can't do it? Since you're all up to it..." Use the Disarming Curse to solve it as soon as possible. It only takes a moment. I really hope that the professors will not trouble her afterwards.She drew out her wand, ignoring the growing excitement around her.

"This is exactly what I want." Daisy didn't look like a first-year student at all. She stepped back slowly, and the crowd consciously formed a curved wall for the two of them.Contrary to Daisy’s concentration, Zoe kept lamenting her unlucky experience in her heart. The moment she promised Daisy to fight, she regretted it, and when she thought of the punishment she might face later, she just I want to withdraw my answer one minute ago.

"Wait!" came a panting voice from behind the wall, obviously a boy's voice, exclamation sounded from behind, followed by successive complaints and apologies, both of them were attracted by the commotion The difference is the attitude of both parties. Zoe just looked in the direction of the voice, but Daisy's face suddenly became difficult to look.

The two students at the front separated to the sides. A chubby boy almost rolled to the ground due to inertia. He staggered and ran forward for a few steps, finally stopping the momentum of the forward rush.Zoe noticed that his clothes belonged to Gryffindor, and Daisy looked away.The boy didn't breathe well, so he rushed between the confronting two again, opened his arms, and screamed pleadingly.

"Stop! Stop!" He ran to Daisy quickly, grabbed her by the arm, and pulled the wand off her hand: "Give it back to me, Neville! That's my wand!" Daisy He stood on tiptoe and tried to get enough, but the height difference between Neville and her was still obvious: "Stop messing around, Daisy!" Then Harry and his party also emerged from the crowd, staring at the scene dumbfounded. .

"I'm not messing around! I'm doing business! Can't you tell? I'll be able to fight Siegel right away!" Daisy yelled, desperately trying to free her hand from Neville, but Neville This time I tried my best to hold her back, "Siegel, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for the trouble this child caused you, please don't care about her, she is still young--ah!"

Neville's face became distorted, and he subconsciously released his hand holding Daisy, and turned to a painful hissing sound from his mouth. Daisy had just stepped on his foot with the strength of his whole body, and his heart His pain made him yell.Daisy hated him, and was about to snatch her wand back.

"My goodness, my wand!" But Neville raised his hand and threw Daisy's wand to the other side of the auditorium: "Enough! When will you be willful! I was still looking for you everywhere, I I know you must have thoughts about Siegel, haven't you given up on those unrealistic thoughts at the time?" Neville roared with red eyes. This is the first time everyone who knows him has seen such a tough one. Neville.

"Shut up, Neville!" Daisy was not afraid of Neville's anger at all. She yelled with hatred of iron and steel, "I want to ask you what you have been doing in the past few years! You can easily talk to her. Why don't you do a duel? Or is it because you are so weak that even your enemy can't make you serious? Can you still be called a Longbottom like this!"

"I, I don't need you to teach me how to make a Longbottom!" Neville roared, and for a moment Daisy showed a timid expression, but her face became gloomy in the next second: "Really? I thought. Knowing how you, a clumsy fellow, can get grandma’s approval, you dare not even face this hatred. You dare not even take the initiative to talk to Siegel, do you? You have to tell me this is what Longbottom should have. the future of?"

"I, don't need... I don't need to do anything to Siegel, I don't hate her! Don't you know that too? Those past things have nothing to do with her at all. I dare not talk to her, but It’s not that I’m going to take her non-existent responsibility to exasperate her.” Neville’s tone softened again, “It’s all over, don’t be persistent, Daisy, even if you fight her, it’s not that you can prove something. What, she can't give you what you want..."

"Oh? Now you think you know me well again. What do you think you know about me? You don't even care about your own toad! Don't pretend to talk to me so intimately!" Neville closed his eyes "I don’t know, whether you think about the messy things in your heart, or the guarantee that you think can give you peace of mind, or the conclusions you come to after thinking about it day and night, what’s mine? Do not know at all."

"Then leave it alone—" Daisy waved in disgust, but Neville looked at her seriously: "But I know it won't work. If you want to continue to make things bigger, I will—I swear I will , Write to grandma and tell her all this I saw."

Daisy glared at Neville in shock, but Neville did not show any weakness: "Grandma won't be happy. Do you think her character would agree with you for doing this? Or do you feel that you have failed her expectations by doing such a stupid thing? It's simply hiding from grandma and everyone who wants to engage in a duel, no one asks you to do it!"

Although he is unwilling to threaten Daisy with this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart, he also knows that only grandma's majesty can stop the onset of disputes: "Do you want grandma down? Always follow her policy to sharpen yourself You, you who regard her identity as more important than anything else. Once this matter reaches grandma's ears, what do you think she will think?"

Daisy lowered her head. It is no surprise that her state is so bad that she can break out at any time. Neville knows that she must be fighting in her heart. Although she is almost 100% sure, Neville is also worried that Daisy will continue just because of her fever. Behavior, after all, even if she really did, Neville couldn't really write home to inform the police.

Chapter 37 What He Perseveres (Part 1)

"...Okay, I'll give up." Daisy thought for a long time, then retracted her wand with a cold face.She bypassed Neville, don't talk to him, didn't even make eye contact."I'm very sorry, Siegel-senpai. Today it is all because of my willfulness that caused you trouble and troubled you." She simply bowed her head to Zoe, but Zoe could not see that she had any intention of repentance. The sentence was dry and dry, and it was not at all apologizing to her for realizing the problem.

"If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first. I have something to do, and I have to go out to find someone." Surrounded by the crowd, she couldn't see Dumbledore's presence or absence at all, although she was always there. You can go to the office to find him, but if it can be as early as possible, she doesn't want to delay it later, she must sound the alarm before it is too late.

Daisy closed her mouth flat. She didn't respond immediately because of Zoe's unceremonious answer. She held back the turbulent emotions, but forced herself to look more comfortable, but behaved nondescriptly, "I'm fine, you Go ahead and do your job."

Neville’s attitude is very different from this kind of Daisy. He kept bowing his heads to apologize to Zoe. Zoe couldn’t show any expressions, but Daisy looked down on Neville’s behavior and always used contempt when she apologized. Staring at him."Is this all right? I don't want to cause trouble, and you shouldn't want to..." Everyone behaved like this, what else could she say.

Originally, she was very worried, and there were many things that needed to be solved urgently, so she couldn't tell the energy to continue to spend on such small things.Zoe squeezed out of the wall and looked at the students who started to walk again because there was no excitement behind him. Presumably after tonight, this incident will spread throughout the school, and then all kinds of things will flow from every corner. Rumors, and the irritating pressure that can be stuck in my heart.

I thought that Dumbledore was gone, but I didn't expect to run into him directly in the hall. There was no one else by his side. It seemed that the conversation with Professor Moody was over."I thought you had left." She ran over and walked side by side with Dumbledore.

"You saw it several times before. I thought you wanted to talk to me, didn't you?" Dumbledore said gently.Zoe touched his nose. "Did I make it so obvious?" "It's just that you've always been like this since the past. It hasn't changed at all."

"Does this trouble you? I always have something to trouble you." "On the contrary, it's a pity that you stopped talking to me a few years ago." They walked through the small door and corridor together, Climbing up to the third floor along the stairs on the other side, Zoe followed Dumbledore in silence. Since the students would go directly to the lounges of the faculties, the third floor was empty, they only met Hufflepuff halfway through. The fat monk, this is a very kind ghost, and he kindly greeted Zoe who he didn't know.

"We are all responsible for Pippi's affairs." He sighed. "We had a meeting between the ghosts. You know Dumbledore. He wants to attend the opening ceremony every year, but he—oh , Always messing up, I told him a long time ago that this is why the blood man Barrow is always reluctant to accept this request, although I also think he is doing the right thing-why is he not willing to converge a little? Only a few short hours."

"Minerva told me somehow." Dumbledore said, "It made a lot of noise in the castle, throwing water bags everywhere to make the ground wet, ruining the surrounding layout, and even going to the kitchen to harass the elves. They were scared to run around." Although he was counting Pipigui's crimes, he was not angry at all, but found it funny.

"Nick went to see the kitchen. Fortunately, there was a house-elf who maintained order and calmed the panic in the kitchen, so that Pippi was not allowed to succeed. It was probably trying to scare the house-elves into doing things unintentionally. , So the dinner at the opening ceremony will be ruined." Dumbledore thought for a while: "I probably have a little impression of the elf you are talking about. Is it the one who came to the castle last year?" The fat monk nodded, "Yes. Ah, you will never find another elf dressed more strangely than it."

"I'm very optimistic about what it will bring. I talked to the elf and I was very educated. This is really a rare thing for an elf." "Thanks to it, later Filch rushed directly into the kitchen and drove Pepi Ghost away. Alas, it is always messed up by his temper, so how can he be trusted by other ghosts?"

It said goodbye to them, and sighed and floated away: "To be honest, I don't think Pepy Ghost should be given so much freedom. Why not restrict its actions?" Zoe asked in confusion: "Even though To be ghosts must be free, Zoe. Even though they are dead, they have lived in this castle, and they have their own emotions... In fact, ghosts themselves are a kind of request, a kind of sad wish. , They are the shadows that are nostalgic for the world and do not want to leave. The last thoughts remaining in this world, because of regret and nostalgia, can not be detached." Dumbledore said softly.

"But I think these ghosts are very enjoyable, and I can't see how sad they are." Zoe muttered, and Dumbledore looked at her gently: "But they won't show that weakness in front of you. , Some of them have been wandering in this castle for too long. Are the memories of the past forgotten? No one knows. Without entities, inaccessible, and keeping secrets, even if they stay in this world, they can no longer move forward. The past acquaintances are gone, time passes and they remain the same."

"Then why can Pippi touch real objects?" Zoe asked in surprise, "Because it is not a ghost, Zoe." Dumbledore shrugged, and they stood talking at the door of Dumbledore's office. The stone statue was waiting. They opened the mouth and said the secret signal, but couldn't wait for a long time, and finally simply ignored them.

"I don't know what Pepi ghost belongs to. Is it a natural creature? Or is it a man-made thing made by a wizard in the past? It is very similar to a ghost, but it can touch real objects, and even more emotional and urgent than other ghosts. I want to show myself...it's getting late, Zoe. So what do you want to say when you ask me?" Zoe was listening to Dumbledore's explanation, but he said suddenly.

"Dumbledore, I think something unexpected will happen in the Triwizard Tournament!" She also remembered why she wanted to find Dumbledore, and began to organize sentences quickly, "I...I..." she bit Gritting his teeth, "My mother is inside me!"

Silence enveloped the entire corridor, so quiet that even the needles could be heard clearly, Zoe panted nervously, feeling that her heartbeat was so noisy, she finally told the secret, and now she is facing the trial of reading. She couldn’t imagine how Dumbledore would answer her with ordinary nervousness, even if it was only one in ten thousand possibility, if Dumbledore would treat her as a dangerous person...

"Max is in you, so that's it. Is she fully awake?" But she had never thought that Dumbledore would be so calm and spoke as if he had already known it. He touched his beard, his eyelids drooped. Thought for a while.

"You, you really know..." The once-possible idea became reality. Zoe was extremely frustrated, feeling that he was betrayed and the frustration was unprecedentedly high. "You never thought about telling me about it. Even the slightest?"

"You can blame me, Zoe. I have my own source of information. I knew early on that she would reincarnate into your body and share a body with you, but I don't want to take the initiative to speak to you because I think you were in the past. It is impossible to bear this fact."

"Why do you always underestimate me?! This is my own business, do you think that knowing the truth from your mouth and the truth from Max's mouth will hit me harder? You have been from the beginning Know, but pretend to unknowingly want to influence me?" Zoe exclaimed angrily, "Professor Barbara or Professor Margaret! I am the only one who is kept in the dark like a fool. ?"

"Because I don't trust Max, Zoe." Dumbledore said. "Even if I know a lot of things, I can't be sure that these are all truths. Maybe everything I've been told is false. I was just deceived. Now that you have found the signs, and you can’t stop her from prying, she’s a master of Voldemort, and I can’t tell you directly. I’m going to find Barbara, she may be the closest I ever People of Max. I have observed Max for a long time. I believe that among the people who have had a major impact in her life, Margaret and Barbara have their own roles, let alone Barbara is a contemporary One of the best rune users, although she is still young, I know she can accomplish her mission."

"You have to grow up to be able to directly fight Max, Zoe. So no matter whether my assumptions are correct or not, you can maximize your chances of survival. I think this is the best choice for you. . But I’ve never been the right one, even if you hate me, I want to choose the best way for you.”

"That's why Professor Snape taught me the Patronus Curse, under your instruction?" As long as a joint is opened, the small but inconsistent details are clear. Zoe looked at Dumbledore, "Presumably he It’s also because of your request that you came to teach me."

"He doesn't do much praise you in front of me. Although he said it very secretly, Severus was never a person who would praise others generously." Dumbledore was equal to directly admitting Zoe's problem."Even if it was arranged by me, do you think all the things you have experienced in the past year are meaningless?"

Chapter 38 What He Persisted (Part 2)

What he said hit the bullseye, and Zoe couldn't say the word "no" anyway.Only as a client can you see firsthand what the past year has meant to her.No longer deceive yourself like the elephant in the room, but are willing to go out, be willing to believe, and be willing to accept.Because she is finally willing to face the fact that even if it is a person like her, some people are willing to stay by her side, and the words spoken can also be conveyed.
