Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

If you are alone, Christmas will become a dispensable thing.The difference between Barbara and ordinary people lies in the lack of material desire. She is very patient and not strong. Her only persistence is probably only the study of runes.After graduating from Hogwarts, she certainly needs a job, but Barbara’s extremely lack of sociality and coordination has become the biggest obstacle. She can’t work well with others and doesn’t like being with many people. .She has a mediocre education. She didn't participate in NEWS, and her results in OWLs are not dazzling, so she can't find her for a good job.

Because of something, she took a break from school for almost two years. When she dragged her body tormented by illness back to school, her usual grades plummeted and she became the worst group, just because Margaret has been Chasing her to teach her, she didn't even fail to graduate.Now think about it, if she allocated half of the time she spent arguing and complaining with Margaret to her studies, would her grades be better.

The consequence of just being unable to find a job is that the landlord was kicked out of the house because he could not pay the rent.Less than three hours after she wandered the street with the suitcase, Margaret rushed out and stuffed her into her apartment.

"I know you don't want to owe me, Barbara." Marguerite looked serious at the time. "But now is not the time to talk about these things. You can find a house after you find a job and settle down. Move out. You see, I also need to play games with the team everywhere. Isn’t the house empty as well?"

"So I look like your house-elf? When your house is covered with dust, pat it with a duster?" Merlin is on, Barbara is not trying to blame Margaret, she is actually very She was grateful for everything she did for herself, she knew it was because Marguerite liked her, she was willing to indulge her and do all kinds of things for her.But because of this, Barbara is even more irritable.

She can't afford this feeling.Because it is sincere, it is more serious, unable to make up his mind to accept it, but it is impossible to give it up.Of course Barbara knew that as long as she nodded, she only had to tell Margaret that she was willing to be with her, and all of this would no longer be tangled.Margaret was so kind to her, she saved her life, and never left during her mental breakdown, restless and erratic, no matter how many times she was scolded, no matter how many times she was thrown away Second, she still persisted, until finally Barbara reluctantly stood up again.Margaret will always be there as long as she needs it.

Margaret once told her not to force herself, she would never force Barbara to do things she didn't want to do.But think about it carefully, such a huge and genuine affection, even if you want to ignore it, it is impossible to do it, but just accept it so frankly, Barbara can't do it.No one in this world is obliged to give to another person unconditionally, taking it for granted. Such an idea is too arrogant for Barbara. She rarely has sunshine in her life, so every light is for her. Precious.

So it is absolutely impossible to accept it like this. The one thing she can never do is to squander the indulgence and love of others.She knew that she hadn’t been able to get out of Max’s incident. She would still be confused and in pain. Even if she thanked Margaret, she would never want to do such a despicable thing, just like taking Margaret. Wait for the wound to heal as a good haven.

"You are really terribly stubborn. I thought you would become more sleek after leaving school." Margaret said with a wry smile on her chin, "Well, if you really owe me love you It’s definitely going to be uncomfortable all the time, that’s not a good thing for me. Let’s make an agreement, Barbara. No matter how busy I am outside, at least on Christmas Day—"

From spring to autumn, another three full years have passed.Barbara finally got a job last year, an invitation from her alma mater Hogwarts.The last ancient magician professor finally decided to retire, and now in her best field, she has an opportunity, a position where she is qualified to sit is waiting for her.

Of course, she got this opportunity smoothly, and Margaret even acted happier than her. She kept adding wine and food to her, and finally drank herself into pieces. Barbara was unwilling to recall that time Margaret How messed up the living room is because of Grete's drunkenness.Even if she likes to drink two sips, Margaret’s drink volume is a mess. As a professional athlete, she can’t always get herself drunk. She must protect her body so that she can adjust to the best Good condition.

And Barbara can hang five Margaritas by herself in terms of drinking, and she is even a little addicted to alcohol (even if this is not a big problem for wizards).If you are in a situation where you have to use a lot of alcohol and drugs to relieve pain every day to maintain your behavior, you will also be forced to be exercised into a wine tank.

In three years, they had very little time to sit and eat together. Usually Margaret was very busy. Barbara was a competent family squat, but she preferred to stay in the study to talk to those silent friends.But only on Christmas Day every year, they definitely have to sit face-to-face and eat. This was the agreement Margaret had made to her when she decided to move into this house three years ago.

There are all kinds of materials in the kitchen, all of which need to be cooked by her.Even if the finished product made in the first year is a mess, and the next year, it won't go up, but at least last year she felt that these things could finally be brought out for others to eat.

"Doing Christmas dinner with your own hands, is the brain circuit of a fool really straight." She again thought of the turkey that was served on the table in the first year. It was so pitiful. Originally it was fully qualified to enter the human stomach and was praised. Yes, because its quality is so good, the quality of the material can even shine in high-end dinner parties.But just because of the difference in the chefs, it went from a turkey aristocrat with crispy skin and fat to dripping oil to a pile of bitter coke. It can only be seen from the shelf that it was a noble one. Turkey.

After Margaret ate it ("It's not so bad, you see, we just need to cut off the outer skin of the coke..."), I made trouble in the toilet all night. Although I didn't say it, Barbara really Feel guilty.So for the next year's dinner, she learned a lot of skills, at least the first situation will never happen again.

When the garnishes were all served, the turkey hadn't been on the table, but it hadn't been a few minutes, but Marguerite still didn't come back.Barbara knows why. In order to learn about Margaret’s activities, she subscribed to the Daily Prophet. This time the sports edition finally came with some big news, "The Golden Lions fiasco, Puddermere United Missed the trophy!" Words like this almost occupy the entire field of vision.

"What are these reporters doing? I always like to use this kind of grandstanding headline." In fact, Margaret tried her best, and the battle situation was not as one-sided as the headline said, but continued to stick to the post Demir United failed regrettably, and the fans only regretted it, but they all knew it was the result of their best efforts.

But a certain lion probably doesn't think so?Of course she will feel frustrated. Margaret has a sense of responsibility. She never evades her due responsibility, nor does she make excuses to resolve it.If this is the case, then she will probably drink before coming back.

After another half an hour, the fire in the fireplace finally turned green. Marguerite walked out of the flames by supporting the fireplace, exactly as Barbara imagined. She drank and her eyes were red. , Drooping his shoulders, dragging his feet.

"Let’s eat." Barbara never said much about this. She knew that Margaret would not want her sympathy, but to comfort things like this, or hear complaints about this kind of things, wait to be filled. Let's talk about it.

This is not a dinner party with a good atmosphere, Barbara is not talkative, and talkative people are dumbfounded.But Marguerite cheered up a bit, probably because she found that the table was full of her favorite dishes, and even the seasonings were all compliant with her taste.

"How long can I stay here this time?" After the meal, just leaning on the sofa, Margaret was holding her own cup and looking at the eggnog in it, "Maybe ten days, maybe half a month. In fact, I don’t think they will call me for a month. This failure is too frustrating."

"A month off, isn't that pretty good. It just happens that I need cleaning, so you can also help."

"What about the house elves, why does the master have to do things after returning home? Shouldn't I lie down and wait for the elves to serve me?" Marguerite said pretentiously.

"Who told you that, after so long, are you still thinking about it? You, careful woman, I warn you Meg, people who don't do things will be thrown out of the house." And the most in the world The careful woman gave Margaret a blank look.

They chatted as if nothing happened, but the distance was getting shorter and shorter, and finally Barbara took Margaret into her arms, just like she did when Margaret was depressed. Like that."I lost, Barbara." Margaret said in a low voice. "It made everyone's efforts so long. They don't blame me, but I can't forgive myself."

"But you won't just give up like that, next time or next time, as long as the opportunity is in front of you, you will catch her, won't you?" Barbara's hand touched Marguerite With a little effort, she stroked her hair slowly along the scalp.

"It's also done well this time, Meg." Margaret became dissatisfied. "It's not enough to be comforted."

"Now the holy grail of wishing fulfillment is right in front of you, you just need to speak." Barbara said.

"No matter what?"

"No matter what."

"Well, kiss me then." Margaret thought that Barbara would definitely refuse. After all, she hadn't said that in the past few years. Every time she would suffer the kind of disgusting eyes that hit the soul, but next She opened her eyes wide, although she just touched her, but the touch of her lips and her breathing at hand were by no means an illusion.

"What then?" Margaret felt that either she was drinking too much and was dreaming or Barbara was drunk too much and lost her mind (the possibility of the latter is very slim), "Well, I see through it. Dreams!" she cried.

Only then did Barbara look at her with the familiar disgusting eyes: "You are not dreaming, Meg." She shrugged, "Of course, if you want to think that it is a dream, we can do it too. End."

Marguerite shook her head desperately, and said with a sense of trance that her dreams have come true: "Really, any wish is fine?"

"Really, any wish is okay." Barbara sighed in disgust, she was actually such a fool?

"Then...with me?" Margaret hesitated, but hopefully.

"Okay, that's with you... well-" Before she finished speaking, Margaret suddenly broke free of Barbara's control, pressed her on the sofa, and kissed her passionately.It was a kiss that didn't leave any room, just like trying to swallow Barbara whole, with long-enduring desire and madness, Barbara felt that she was about to suffocate, and her oxygen was quickly caught by Marg Lit took it away, but couldn't replenish it in time. His head gradually became dull due to lack of oxygen, and the other party obviously didn't notice this.

Forget it, just treat it as paying interest for these cold years.Barbara hugged Marguerite tightly. To make her posture more comfortable, she moved up and leaned her body on the sofa to match Marguerite, who had begun to bite her neck. Then she saw the hallucinations.

The person who has always kept her from letting go, she is still the familiar dress in the memory, or the familiar age in the memory.She was sitting on the bench in the dining room, looking calmly at this side.I don't hate you. Although I was afraid, I really don't hate you.She just said this sentence in her heart, but she laughed out loud as if she had heard it.

I'm going to keep going, Max, I don't worry anymore and don't want to let go.Barbara seemed to see another one standing opposite the person by herself, and when Max stood up, the two passed by, and no one looked back.So you go ahead, and goodbye.

"...Don't you continue?" Barbara asked vaguely, her breathing becoming quicker."I'm just not sure... If you do this because I'm in a bad mood because of concerns, I won't be happy because of this, Barbara. If you still don't love me, then we have nothing to do in bed—it hurts!" Margaret was saying with a high spirit, "Why are you hitting me!"

"I didn't hit you." Barbara said, with a three-point anger, "I hit a pig. Do you think you are a pig?"

Margaret met Barbara’s eyes. After a long time, she laughed, and then she hugged Barbara in her arms: "You will know right away, even if I am a pig, I am also the bravest pig in the world. ."

Chapter 40 The First Day Two Professors

After breakfast, Zoe and Padma walked all the way. They were separated from Luna because she was going to other classrooms for spell classes, and she had a history of magic in the afternoon. "That's all, Zoe. I want to borrow your magic history textbook for reference." Luna walked away briskly.Thankfully, the sight that had been stuck behind Zoe also disappeared after the meal.

They climbed up the stairs, and when they passed Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor, they happened to hit Professor McGonagall out of it.She wears a high bun as usual, her lips are tight, and her sharp eyes look softer when she looks at Zoe and the others. As a professor, she certainly appreciates Zoe's polite and outstanding student.

"Would you like to go together, Miss Siegel, Miss Pettier?" It is natural that they cannot disagree. Anyway, the destination is the same. Padma is a bit cautious. When you walk with Professor McGonagall, you will be nervous. It is also very normal, even if she does not preach to you, you will subconsciously tighten your nerves.

"Have you had a good summer vacation?" However, it was unexpected that Professor McGonagall took the initiative to talk to them."My sister and I are at home, and occasionally go out to play, and return to our hometown halfway through. It feels good." They chatted a few words on this topic. Of course Zoe knew she was the next one, but what can she say What?Most of her vacation time was blank, and she didn't even know what she had done.

"I went to Luna's house to play for a while this year, but it feels like her printing press is really noisy." Zoe will always maintain a good image in front of the professor, and she picked up a topic that she could talk about."Miss Luna Lovegood?" Surprisingly, Professor McGonagall also had an impression of her. "It is true that her talent in learning has never been the best, but she is eccentric. I think this It must have something to do with her family environment. "Professor McGonagall said, "I have read "A Devil" edited by her father during the holidays. Except for the article on Margaret, other reports-IMHO, I cannot agree with articles based on lies and fantasies."

Zoe is not surprised, Professor McGonagall likes Quidditch very much and was also a member of the school team.She never appeared in the audience just to maintain order, she just wanted to watch the game.

"You must have gone to the World Cup." Zoe asked."A very good game. Both the Irish and Bulgarian teams played very positively. It is very rare... If it weren't for the farce afterwards..." Professor McGonagall's eyebrows were squeezed. "Those are still hurting others. Unforgettable scums, they dare to do it only because they know that the Ministry of Magic will not spend a lot of effort to track down someone before they are actually attacked. No matter how many years have passed, these evil things still breed in every corner..."

"Then you think that Dumbledore's invitation to Professor Moody to teach us also foresaw this?" Zoe asked.

"In fact, Miss Siegel. Teaching students to protect themselves from black magic is the original intention of this course. We all hope that you can protect yourself when danger comes, and at least know what to do. You guys. It's time to go in, two ladies." They didn't walk in a hurry, but Professor McGonagall strode so fast that they had to follow closely. This was because Professor McGonagall noticed that their condition had slowed down. .

Transfiguration is a profound knowledge, you can't even find its boundary all at once. The wizards have extended many kinds of branches through continuous study and expansion of it.If the deformation is classified according to different categories, for example, it can be divided into other people or self according to the cast object, or it can be divided into temporary deformation and continuous deformation according to the duration (continuous deformation is due to the consumption of mana. When the wizard cannot continue to maintain the transformation effect, it will return to its original state), or it can be divided into living or dead according to the state of the object... Of course, the above is not all.

Generally speaking, it is easier to transform a living thing into a dead thing than another (the same is true for the deformation between the same kind and the deformation between different kinds), because its deformation is more direct. For the stone, you only It needs to be able to recognize the most basic information such as its weight, touch, shape, etc., regardless of its internal composition, it requires less magical power than a living thing.Secondly, the size of the deformed object, the precision of the deformed object, and the change in the nature of the deformed object will all determine the difficulty of the deformation.

In the first class, Professor McGonagall talked about some Animagus's things. This is a relatively advanced transformation technique that can be transformed into a certain animal by continuously casting it on itself.To learn Animagus, you must simulate the kind of creature you deform from body to mind during transformation. This will take the wizard several years. You have to understand, imitate, and think about that Everything about biology is just the most basic.

Animagus’ learning has its limitations.First of all, the Animagus between different wizards is usually different. The deformed creatures are usually closely related to the wizard's personality, body shape, thinking, and fitness. If your personality is docile and cowardly, and your body is thin , It is almost impossible for you to become a tiger, because that is a mode of thinking that you will never understand.

Of course, it is impossible to transform into a magical creature. This is a proven thing. There has never been a dragon Animagus or a salamander Animagus (someone really tried this Done).Similarly, don't try to make partial or plural deformations. Animagus needs the caster to "become" that creature, and their brains cannot accept such a state and cannot simulate the life state of an abnormal creature.
