Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Not to mention her unformed patron saint curse, precisely because of her own weapon, she can still stand here.The talent for spells and runes may not belong to her, maybe it was given to her by Max, but there is a small light in his heart.

"No, I really appreciate you, Dumbledore. You have done so much for me, and I can't just sum up this feeling in words." If it were not for the efforts of the past, she would not be able to trust Dumbledore: "Although I said that you haven't changed at all. It seems I was wrong. How lonely is this." Dumbledore looked at her lovingly and said with a smile.

"These are not the main points. Something is about to happen, Dumbledore. It's here in Hogwarts, right by our side. The crisis is about to hit, and you have to do something!" Zoe said uncomfortably. "Max controlled me before, during the summer vacation, I don’t know what she did, but she went to the World Cup..." she said bluntly, "You know she hates Quidditch, which is very unusual. ."

"Do you want to say who she met there, or did she do something that might not be good for us?" Zoe nodded, "From the summer vacation of this semester, she suddenly became active. Although I don't understand her behavior, something is definitely going to happen." Zoe said of her own assumptions, "she admires Voldemort, this matter must be related to Voldemort's return."

"What do you think? From your perspective." Dumbledore just asked, not telling his own explanation.

"When Professor Lupin was werewolf last year, he loosened his control on Peter Pettigrew and let him escape. The last person who stopped him was Max. Even if he thought that Max deliberately let him go, it was natural. Why do you have to let him go? Max can't do this out of sympathy or companionship."

"I think she needs Peter Pettigrew as her hands and feet, to do things for her that she can't do. After the Ministry of Magic issued a wanted order, the entire British wizarding community was very nervous, but Pettigrew was not found at all. Know them. It is already known that he is an Animagus! Even though it is difficult for people to recognize him because of his transformation, it is not normal that there is no witness."

"So you think he has gone abroad. Peter Pettigrew is not in England at all, so the Ministry of Magic can't find him." Zoe said with a wry smile, "It's normal to think so, because I am not allowed to leave this country, even if I enjoy relative Free, but also bound by certain terms. I'm sure she has figured out what she can do and where she can't take risks."

"Albania." Dumbledore said, "I think Pettigrew got her opinion and went there." He and Zoe explained, "Do you have any impression of Professor Quirrell in the first grade?" Zoe Nodded, he continued, "Maybe he was just a cowardly professor in your minds when he was teaching, but his theoretical level is very high. I still remember that he was also one of the best people in Ravenclaw. 1. He was ambitious and wanted to do something to prove himself. After graduation, he went to Albania."

"Why do you think Voldemort is still there?" Dumbledore said: "He is not necessarily there, of course. But in the absence of a goal, first sort out what you know, and then infer clues from it. , This is a very simple mode of thinking. I think there is a silent tacit understanding between Voldemort and her. Max knows what happened in the first grade by reading your memory, and Voldemort also knows that she is in your body. I Boldly guess that he will return to Albania, or even the place where he met Professor Quirrell, because he knows that someone will come to him, and usually no one thinks he will go back."

"When Pettigrew escaped, they met. Max confessed that Pettigrew will go to Albania immediately. She will definitely be responsible for helping Pettigrew hide his identity, because Pettigrew can't always sleep and eat, he must also enter the place where people live. Collect intelligence."

"Well, compound decoction." Dumbledore agreed with her point: "Dwarf has never been good at grades during his enrollment period. His talent in medicine has never been high, let alone lack of materials. This is one thing. The finished products on the black market are very limited and can only be used in emergency. The compound decoction can last a long time as long as it does not undergo the final activation." Zoe nodded. She was also because of Snape last year. I have tried the tasks assigned by the professor. Not only are a few of the materials relatively rare, but they must be handled carefully. A little carelessness may destroy the effect.

"We assume that Pettigrew found Voldemort and brought him back to England from Albania." Zoe said firmly, "Now what they want to do, no matter what I think about it, I think the Triwizard Tournament is really suspicious. If Magic There are Voldemort undercover agents in the Ministry or the other two schools, and they will definitely do it."

"Can't we just stop the Triwizard Tournament?" Dumbledore shook his head, "No. Everything is settled, it is impossible to stop simply. All three schools must be mobilized, and the Ministry of Magic Each department will fully assist in hosting, even if there is a conspiracy, as long as there is no evidence, no one will believe it."

"But it is very likely that someone will have an accident!" Zoe exclaimed, "It can only be said that we always pay attention to the occurrence of abnormal conditions during the game and strengthen the safety measures. We are in the light, and Voldemort is in the dark. This game has never been. I have the final say, Zoe." Zoe was very angry. She knew that Dumbledore was right, but the anxiety in her heart could not be eliminated.

There was no need to go on, Zoe had told Dumbledore what she knew and inferences.The next step is to see how Dumbledore would do what he was supposed to do.With her stomach full of thoughts, she said goodbye to Dumbledore. Dumbledore didn't go back to the office until Zoe's figure disappeared in the corner and down the stairs.

"Fox, haven't you rested yet?" The Phoenix whispered warmly and bowed his head to express surrender to Dumbledore. The portraits in the frame were all asleep. Dumbledore lit the oil lamp on the desk and started A large dirty book was taken from the depths of the bookshelf. The book looked crumpled and many of its pages were rolled up.

He put the book aside, and took another one out of the pile of letters on the table. The handwriting on the envelope was fluttering and messy and not neat at all, but with a sense of freedom.Sirius Black, that was the name of the person who wrote this letter. Dumbledore had read the letter a long time ago, but he took it out and read it carefully.

Sirius has always disliked politeness and politeness. He used a few short paragraphs to sum up the problems he encountered in a straightforward manner. He was not talking about his own problems, but the difficulties Harry encountered recently. The scar on his forehead suddenly hurt. He got up. Before that, he had dreamed of Voldemort in his dream. Voldemort was probably with Pettigrew at that time. He also "saw" they killed an old Muggle man, and then he woke up from the dream.

Sirius doesn’t think these two events are just a coincidence, but he doesn’t know why this happened. Even though he came from the Black family, who has gone far in the study of black magic, all those glories are the Black family. Before the fall, he was naughty and mischievous when he was in school, but he never took the initiative to contact black magic.

Dumbledore can see in his words how much he cares about Harry. They care about each other like real family members. Of course Dumbledore is very pleased. Sirius’s personality is very proud and wild, but he is Harry's godfather could not do better. He replaced Harry's dead parents and gave him the warmth of the family.This was a different feeling from being at Dursley’s or Weasley’s. It belonged to the family relationship between Harry and Black.

He unconsciously thought of the children who had studied at Hogwarts, and who have grown up now and have gone their separate ways.As a bystander, or as the principal of Hogwarts, or simply as an old man, he has constantly experienced encounters and separations in his life spanning a century.Some students have invested a lot of energy, and they are really different.It's just that he didn't let him understand the first one, and he didn't want to accept the second one.He can only watch the painful things happen repeatedly.

Another choice is before him. Is this really correct?Or is it actually a mess?Whenever this happens, Dumbledore will feel the pressure and the bitterness in his heart that no one has ever understood. He can neither cry frankly nor stop because of his soft heart.Even if it is because of responsibility, when should he still bear the lives and fate of others?

Dumbledore opened the big book called "The Decryption of Advanced Black Magic" and set aside Sirius’ letter. He took a blank piece of parchment from the table and wrote Harry’s name on the top. Then he wrote a small number 1 behind his name.

Chapter 39 The First Day Breakfast

Zoe skewered the cut sausage and was about to put it into his mouth, but he couldn't go away because of the tight sight behind him.She didn't sleep well last night, trying to find even the slightest flaw in Max, knowing what she was planning, she kept using words to provoke.In the end, it failed completely. No matter what she said, Max was able to smoothly resolve it.

Just because of the formal class today, she took a rest for a while, but she couldn’t stop the anxiety caused by lack of sleep. She was almost dragged by Luna to walk to the cafeteria. The smell of food finally made her sober. less.

If you can just have a good meal like this, your mood will be better.If it hadn't been for the follow-up prying, it would have been like this.As long as Zoe looks back, the peep will disappear instantly, but when she looks back, she reappears.

"Luna." She whispered, "Help me see who is looking at me." If this person continues to be so presumptuous, she will be unable to eat breakfast.Luna just wanted to turn her head sharply, Zoe quickly reminded her, "Don't let that guy notice, move slowly." She finally put the sausage into her mouth, but when she chewed, she seemed to be eating gel. She could only grab the grape juice and take a big gulp to flush the food down.

Luna even looked a little excited. This sneaky feeling is always stimulating. After a while, she didn't know how to do it. She obviously didn't move her head, so she leaned over and whispered: " Do you know? The girl who looks very small, wearing a pink headband, is staring at you."

Zoe choked, coughing unceasingly."Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago," she mumbled, and then complained to Luna about what happened last night."She won't let it go, just wait, sooner or later she will find a chance to stop me." Luna tilted her head, "Aren't you going to stop her?"

"What can I do? I can't take the initiative to lean in and let her go. Within half a day, the whole school will start spreading rumors of me threatening her." Zoe collapsed on the table and kept poking the mashed potatoes with a fork. She looked very decadent, and she even felt the sight behind her become even hotter.

"You have become popular, Zoe." Luna said in a pretentious manner, gaining Zoe's undisguised glances. She might as well continue to return to the state of rejection before, at least not. Someone always stares at her.

In fact, although she is not as direct as Daisy, she can vaguely feel the whispers and scrutiny around her. They are talking about the conflict that occurred last night. Daisy’s strong hostility really aroused the curiosity of the good people. They are not. I care about whether this is my personal business, just want to expose all the secrets under the blue sky.

Obviously, she just wanted to spend her campus life carefree. Finally, she had a place to accommodate herself. Finally, she finally had a few close friends who could take a breath from painful things.But troubles still followed."I'm probably cursed."

"Curse?" On the left is Padma, who just sat down. She came over with a plate while Zoe was talking to herself, "Are you reading any strange book again?" She asked curiously: "No, just feeling that people have to bear the pressure that is not their own, which is really annoying."

"Then don't think about it. This morning, there are Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Course and Professor Snape's Potions Course... Which elective courses did you choose this semester?" "The same as last year." Take out the class schedule from the bag: "Let me see yours?" Padma took over the class schedule, "Is Muggle studies really interesting? I remember you also took this course last year." "I think It's pretty charming..." "But Hermione didn't choose this year."

When Luna said this, Zoe coughed up dryly: “I’m not going to choose for certain talents. She loves to learn, but Professor Bubaji told me in advance that the focus of our study this year is Muggle literature and Art..." Zoe looked at Luna dissatisfied, "Why did you mention her suddenly?" Luna said lightly, "I thought you wanted to know, just go to Gryffindor when you were in a daze. I have asked."

"I don't want to know at all, thank you for your troubles." Zoe said angrily, and Padma answered: "Are you talking about the girl who has been walking very close before? She shares the same bedroom with my sister. , But the relationship is very ordinary. Did you quarrel?"

Given that she and Hermione were inseparable last year, Zoe also understood why Padma was curious. She just felt unable to swallow that breath. If she rushed to Hermione and was rejected again, she would really break down. .

"They just need a little Cupid to restore their relationship, and shoot the golden arrow of fate into their hearts." Luna sang in a dreamlike tone, and Padma giggled: "This description is really weird. , Luna. Cupid is the messenger of love, this description does not apply—" Zoe looked at Luna and opened his mouth, and quickly interrupted the conversation.

"The mashed potatoes are not bad, do you prefer something saltier or lighter?" The topic she raised in a panic was really stupid. Fortunately, Padma is a sociable person and the atmosphere is not too embarrassing.Zoe twisted Luna's arm with his hand under the table and stared at her viciously.

"Why are you telling Padma about this!" She stuck to Luna's ear, her voice only audible to her and Luna: "Because it's reality." Luna answered naturally, "But I don't want to do it." Everyone knows it." Zoe grabbed the flesh on her cheeks angrily and pulled it up.

******

Cang!

Harry and Ron were taken aback. Harry almost choked on the unswallowed breakfast and began to beat his chest frantically. Ron hurriedly handed him the grape juice, "What, what, Hermione?" He cautiously Seeing Hermione, her mood suddenly deteriorated for no reason.Ron also looked at her in surprise.

"The fork fell into the plate by accident," Hermione said stiffly.But Harry could clearly see that the source of the sound just now was because Hermione knocked the fork on the plate by herself, and the sound of the fork hit the plate. The point of evidence was a small piece of sausage rolling out of the plate.

The two boys were deeply touched by Hermione’s harsh attitude. It always reminded them of Professor McGonagall, a professor of transformation class known for iron law and justice, and also the vice-principal of Hogwarts. In case of a violation of school rules, she will be treated harshly no matter who the person is.

If someone tells Hermione that she is similar to Professor McGonagall in normal times, she will definitely be very happy, because Professor McGonagall has always been one of her most admired professors, but now her mind is suddenly filled with some weird thoughts The illusory and unreliable feeling that she has always dismissed is not inferred from facts and logic, but manipulated by sensibility and intuition. It is obviously a wrong idea, but it can quickly induce her emotions. , This feeling is really unpleasant.

Hermione calmed herself down. It was just a fight between friends. She knew that this must be the truth, and there could be no other internal affairs.It's just that the depression in her chest does not dissipate. Even if she repeatedly tells herself that this emotion is abnormal, her rationality is very clear about it, but she cannot suppress her.The self-control she was proud of in the past has no effect at all.

Hermione knew that she was getting angry. The reason for her anger was very simple. It was just because she saw the close interaction between Zoe and Luna. It didn’t make sense at all. It was just because she saw Zoe pulling Luna’s face, the distance between the two. It was posted very close, but in fact nothing happened, and there were no elements of her wild thoughts. She couldn't be more clear about these.

"I'm so bored." Hermione dug up a large spoonful of mashed potatoes and stuffed it into her mouth like venting her anger. She closed her eyes, and the sudden anger finally dissipated, leaving only superficial traces, which made her heart uncomfortable. , Hermione knew that after a while, for example, as soon as class started, she would be able to get rid of her irritability and calm down completely, but this incident sounded a wake-up call in her mind.

Obviously, she just admitted something. She had already spent a long time putting the thing in place. She hadn't figured it out yet, and she still needed time to think, and she was even psychologically prepared to give up. Made up my mind.But suddenly I was disturbed by this kind of thing.Hermione felt terrible, for the beast in this uncontrolled heart.

She has always lived by calmness, facts and logical thinking. One of the most annoying things is uncontrolled accidents.Yes, she has a special affection for Zoe, but she has not made up her mind to accept it. She originally believed that by constantly asking herself, she could restrain her emotions and maintain a stable reality.

Before doing anything, you must be fully prepared. This is Hermione's consistent creed.She can't ignore Zoe's indifferent attitude at the World Cup. Even if we want to be together, it doesn't make sense if we don't really love each other.Whether you are going forward or back, you have to figure out your own feelings, and you must find out Zoe's true heart.

But the emotion just now seemed to slap Hermione. Does she really understand herself?She can't even restrain herself from thinking.Think about today’s lesson, Hermione Granger, she said to herself in her heart.There are classes in the morning and afternoon, and she will have a very fulfilling life, so that she won't have the chance to fall into that emotion, will she?

Extraordinary: Margaret and Barbara (Happy Qixi Festival)

For Barbara Black in the past, there was no so-called "special day" for more than three hundred and sixty days a year. Even if it was Christmas worth celebrating, it was nothing but hers. In the small apartment, she immersed herself in studying ancient books of runes until dawn, and occasionally drank a glass or a whole bottle of good wine. Anyway, she worshiped the constant pain of the body, and her sleep was originally extremely restless. Instead of tossing around in bed until dawn, It is better to divert attention by reading.

Dinner is always the most important part for most of the people of the day. Family members gather together, toast with friends, and chat with lovers. But what remains the same is to share the joy in this special festival. On a cold winter night, outside the window is white snow falling under quiet gray clouds, but inside the window is a small independent paradise, and only on such days, the flame of the fireplace can even directly burn into the heart.

Even now, the family is still a distant grey memory. She can't find anything good from the mess, it's all the pictures of her childhood being bullied by her elder sister and the indifference of the people around her.Although the Black family has a common blood flowing in the body, it is as cold as a rock.For the memory of Christmas, it will not be different from any dinner on any previous day, but the dishes are more abundant, but for the price of having to endure the craziness of the family members at the table, the payment is far more than the gain More.The only comfort is probably that her second sister Andomida will give her half of her share when her food is snatched by Bellatrix (just for entertainment).
