Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"My classmates, the last thing I want to remind you is that Animagus is easy to lose control, because when your body and mind become another creature, it is almost impossible for you not to be confused about yourself. I have seen some ah Nimags, they forgot their own color after transformation. Even if the mana is exhausted, they can't change back, but they can't maintain the transformation-this is not a fun thing. The reason why the Ministry of Magic would require Animag The registration is also to prevent things from getting worse before things get out of hand."

"But isn't it okay for a wizard like you with a firm character? And people who are not firm can usually not become an Animagus." A Ravenclaw student raised his hand and asked."Mr. Digg, thank you for your trust. But what I want to say is that even me, because I became Animagus, I like to eat fish. The problem never easily exposes its thorny. After so many years, I am always more energetic at night, neurotic about my health, and don't like being wet... Well, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say that. I have been trying to catch mice every day, and look for mice around the wall. hole."

At least half of the people in the classroom were suddenly very concerned about the lines on the desk, almost sticking their noses to it, and coughing and air leaking sounded one after another in the classroom.They must have imagined a serious picture of Professor McGonagall catching a mouse in their hearts.Minerva McGonagall is an Animagus. Her transformation is a piebald cat. It is her usual welcome ceremony to show them her transformation in the first transformation class of freshmen. The whole room cheers).

Some students couldn't help it at last, and laughed out: "Sorry, sorry...Professor, I didn't want..." He gasped and tried to explain."Of course I know that this will make people laugh. Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I am not hesitating to expose myself to ugliness is just to let you all know that an Animagus is not only interesting, but you are a little careless. You will also be hurt.” Although the tone was harsh, Professor McGonagall was not angry.

She didn't assign homework for everyone, at least not in writing, but Zoe will definitely check the content that needs preview in the next class.They walked out of the classroom, "I suddenly think Professor McGonagall is very cute, you know I just thought she was a very strict person before." A student's words in exchange for many people's approval.

If Professor McGonagall can gain the awe of others through his noble words and deeds, then Professor Snape is a model disgusted by everyone. He is selfish and harsh. The most important thing is that he always uses power, probably except for Slytherin. (He is the Dean of Slytherin) Except, every college has been deducted excessively by him for various trivial reasons.

Snape is the absolute authority in the potions class, no matter what he asks you to do, you can only do it.If you do it, he will pass it lightly. If you can't do it, it would be bad. He will ridicule you from head to toe, and those who resist will directly deduct points. After all, this is his right as a professor.

"Professor Snape doesn't seem to be in a good mood today." Zoe buried her head in handling the materials. She pried the hard fergus fruit along the fine lines and took out the small seeds inside. She moved quickly and skillfully. When she caught fire When the medicine started, at least half of the people in the classroom were still prying this thing."Help me, Zoe. I won't have time if I don't do it anymore." Draco handed her the things, Zoe shrugged, and took it three or two and took care of it. Draco's materials were all over. A superficial trace.

"How did you break that thing with a small file? My hands were numb after trying, and I didn't break it." Draco asked dejectedly."Did you see the little one opening? It's as simple as plug-in and flip." Zoe helped Draco take care of the rest, and helped Padma and her partner (because Zoe Choose the same group as Draco) and handle the materials.Professor Snape turned around in the small classroom, suddenly cleared his throat loudly, and gave Zoe a concealed look.

"Some people, don't rely on their own more experience than others, just reach out into the crucible of others, do you have to be taken into the examination room by them during the exam? Zoe Siegel, Ravenclaw Because of your arrogance, deduct 10 points."

Chapter 41 Growth

After class, Snape assigned them an essay assignment on water-soluble drugs, asking them to focus on the relationship between materials and drug effects.The complaints that sounded briefly in the classroom disappeared quickly under Snape’s deterrence. Even Ravenclaw, the most nerdy, might not want everyone to spend time in the library day after day, let alone even There are students from Slytherin.

Zoe did not leave immediately. She was used to taking the initiative to clean up the dirty crucibles and liquid medicines on the ground after class. She used a magic wand to gather the discarded materials on the table (mostly because of improper handling) and throw them away. , And then start processing the crucible.Snape didn't say anything, just packed his belongings.

"Don't forget to start class tomorrow." Zoe said goodbye to Snape in a good voice, watching him strode away.The crucible used for the potions class is supplied by the school, and the crucible purchased by the students will be used for the homework.Because of the certain weight, she couldn't put them all at once, and could only move them a few times so that they could fly into the cabinet accurately and save them.It takes a lot of time, but fortunately there are no other courses this afternoon.

"Why do you have to clean it up?" Draco's dissatisfied voice came, and he ordered Crabbe and Gore to go straight up and pile up the crucibles."I also want to ask why you didn't leave." Zoe shrugged, helplessly watching Padma take out a veil from the cabinet."Will a group of people do it faster together?"

Zoe was trying to refute that she was used to doing this a long time ago, but these people didn't listen to her at all, just immersed in their work.Feeling moved and embarrassed, she couldn't help but floated to Crabbe's side, although Draco didn't seem to be burdened to instruct them to do this."Trouble you." She murmured and accelerated.

She told Padma about this during lunch, and the two boys didn't complain about anything afterwards, instead they kept laughing silly when Zoe thanked them."It's not surprising, Zoe. You don't even look in the mirror, you are a very beautiful girl, and those guys want to be around you every day, so courteous."

"Me? You're kidding, Padma. Don't I always appear as a fire-breathing dragon in their hearts?" Padma giggled because of this description. "But everyone knows When we grow up, we can’t always be just children. You may have a worrying identity, but that doesn’t mean that boys won’t be attracted to you when they see you. You see, I haven’t grown much taller this year, but I know I'm developing." She winked playfully at Zoe.

Zoe cleared her throat unnaturally. Of course she knew what Padma meant.She knew that she was growing up. She spent a whole day in this summer vacation and was dragged by Mrs. Narcissa to buy this and that. When Mrs. Morkin was measuring her size, she smiled and said that she was about to become a big girl, even though her heart was vaguely The discomfort, but the joy is much more.

Since she was a child, she has wanted to become an adult quickly, to gain strength, and to regain freedom. She knows that she is growing: a rapidly rising body shape, sexual characteristics that are beginning to develop, sensitive and meticulous thinking... not just a short one. The truncated cuffs change from the inside to the outside, like a biological reorganization.

"Okay, but it has nothing to do with me..." Although she and Luna mentioned the distance between men and women last year, the feelings at this time were more real and made her feel restless. "Of course I want to grow. Great. But I hate being observed by that kind of eyes. I don’t know them, and I don’t want to have more communication with them."

"Don't be too nervous, dear Zoe. You can not accept it, you can stay away, but you really can't stop others from admiring you. In fact, this year we need to face this question: Christmas ball, do you want your partner? "

In an instant, Zoe's gaze began to drift towards Gryffindor, but she closed it back without seeing Hermione's figure. The next second she began to slap herself in her heart again: no matter what. Live by yourself!

"There is no one to choose. I have no plans to go to any Christmas ball. I will go back to the lounge after dinner." She said hard."What if you are forced to choose one?" Padma looked at Zoe, who was disgusted and shook his head, "Why are you obviously mature in some places, so naive at this time. Come on," Zoe, choose one. As long as you want, I believe no boy can stop your charm, a little confident in yourself, Miss Aphrodite with blue eyes. We all need to start thinking about these things, don't we?"

Zoe quickly popped a name out of her mouth. The voice was so small that Padma almost didn't hear it, but she still heard it clearly and sighed helplessly: "You can't always rely on Malfoy, or you actually like him very much. ? In the meaning of love."

Falling in love with Draco?The possibility of this happening is probably only one fingernail greater than Draco and Potter's mutual affection.Zoe shook her head. Although this was not an appropriate description, she was not looking for her own Apollo, but Athena with bright eyes.Even if she can attract the attention of so many boys, it doesn't make any sense.The person who lived in her heart didn't even want to look at her a little bit more, because she had messed up everything before.

"Oh, it's a waste. But there is still a lot of time, maybe you will change your mind later." Padma saw Zoe's resistance and sighed, "Really I want to see you dancing at the prom with my own eyes. I can't even think of the person standing next to you."

"Well, actually... I don't know how to dance." Zoe had already sliced ​​her fish steak in pieces, but she began to stir up the salad in another bowl."You're kidding!" Padma looked at her in shock.

"Really. Who do you think would invite me to dance?" Padma pointed at Slytherin at the table without even thinking about it, and Draco was chatting with someone with an arrogant look."No, I refuse every time he invites me to a dinner party. If you don't participate, you won't be able to meet, and naturally you won't have the opportunity to practice." The only thing that makes her feel uneasy is probably whether this body remembers the experience of dancing Something, but as far as she is concerned, the number of dances is zero.

"Oh my God, even if I skipped over several family gatherings, are you living in another world..." Padma shut up, and she suddenly remembered the identity of Zoe, "Sorry, I was too bad just now. I'm nervous."

"It's not your fault." Zoe smiled bitterly."Are you talking about dancing? I often dance with my dad, between the yard and the mountains. He said that I, the goddess Canbit Pusgori, is reborn." A light voice came from behind."Why is it so late? I thought something was wrong with you." Zoe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Talking to Professor Bins for a while, because there are a few points in my homework, he wants to consult with me." Luna tossed her bag aside, pulled her sleeve to her arm, and picked up the large plate from the center. The child kept filling food.

She took a bite of the fish steak: "It's great, I'm already full of lunch when the professor said..." She was vague."Can't you swallow it before talking?" Zoe patted her.

"It's unfortunate to be found by Professor Bins. I suspect that he cast a Sleeping Curse on his throat before he became a ghost, making everyone who listens to him sleepy." Padma also said with a smile. Even in Ravenclaw, students who have opinions on Professor Bins are not a minority."But just now I seemed to hear Luna say that she danced very well."

Luna nodded, a little smug.But Zoe coughed. She had met Luna's father Xenophylius Novgood. He was not only a father to his daughter, but also a man with weird ideas.If this is really what Mr. Xenofilius said, then the credibility will be greatly reduced.Zoe promised that even if Luna’s dancing was not much better than the murlocs on the shore, Mr. Xenofilius would praise her as the rebirth of Topskoli.

"And you live in a dormitory." Padma seemed to have an idea. "Then why don't you ask Luna to teach you dancing?"

"Wait! I remember I said I didn't want to go to a Christmas ball!" Zoe protested. Although she knew Padma always wanted to watch her lively, she still wanted to show her attitude.

"What does it matter? You will always find someone you like. When he invites you to dance, do you plan to tell him directly, "I'm sorry I won't?" This is really disappointing! Zoe, you have to take the initiative to fight for you Love is good!" Padma's words pierced into Zoe's heart, but the encouragement did not make her feel any better.

Not to mention that when she saw that Luna seemed to be very interested in it, the two suddenly seemed to have a tacit understanding. Luna knew that she liked Hermione, and it was the only thing she could talk about in this situation. The object of the mood.Of course she hoped that Luna could be a little conscious, aware of her troubles, and just say something to dispel Padma's soaring enthusiasm, instead of planning a prank on herself with her.

But if Luna could think of this step on her own, she would have long since become incompatible with others because of her ignorance of the world.Even if according to what she said, she is not being bullied like last year, but most people are more willing to ignore her and watch with cold eyes.

Chapter 42 The Elf Event Group

"Are you angry, Zoe?" Zoe and Luna walked through the corridor. They were about to head towards the library. Although they were not hopeful, Zoe hoped to find a few more books on Occlumency in the library. book.Padma does not travel with them because she is going to take her elective courses.

"Extremely. Why are you making fun of Padma? She doesn't know, don't you know who I care about in my heart?" Zoe sullenly looked in front of him, his eyes unwilling to give alms To Luna.

"I didn't booze..." "Yeah, you just listened with a smile. This behavior will only make Padma speak more vigorously." "But you have to admit that even if you change the boy's'he' If you become a girl's'she', dialogue can be established."

Zoe sighed: "Yes, but I can't do it at the Christmas ball. I haven't seen two girls dancing together at the ball. Even if I take 10,000 steps back, I'm willing, but she doesn't even talk. Tell me."

"But don't you also talk to her? Even if Hermione wants to do it." Luna said."But the problem is that she started first! I just do what meets her requirements..." Zoe talked to Luna violently, but did not look at the road ahead. Luna reminded her and the opposite Obviously, the student in a hurry who didn't look at the way bumped into it.

Zoe is okay, she just staggered back, and finally stabilized her figure, but the other person was not so lucky, and sat down on the ground, the paper sheet she was holding off her hand, and melodious in the air To fall.

"Sorry, classmate, you didn't—Hermione?!" Zoe reflexively wanted to apologize. Active apology is usually a good way to avoid conflict, not to mention that she does have certain responsibilities, but when she sees her face clearly When the girl sitting on the ground in pain, her voice instantly changed.

"Zo, Zoe?" Hermione also looked awkward. Her weird look was not due to physical pain or emotional overwhelming. She was not ready for a positive encounter, even if they were between. It wasn't that the relationship was broken, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and cold.

"Sitting on the ground will catch a cold, Hermione." Although she wanted to smile and say that the key point was wrong, Luna's words were timely. She pulled Hermione from the ground, and Zoe wanted to help but resisted. His expression, his body swayed unconsciously, only his facial expressions were calm and calm.

"I'm sorry just now, I didn't look at the way...Have you been hurt?" Hermione stammered."Alright, fortunately, I stopped in time, are you going to the infirmary?" Zoe looked away."I just fell, there is nothing uncomfortable except for the butt..." Then the two of them became unable to speak a word again, just avoiding the other's sight.

"Then, that's it, we're going to the library..." Zoe finally took the initiative to break the silence."Um, eh? You have assigned your homework?" Hermione asked."It's just a book I'm looking for, Professor Snape has also assigned homework." Zoe dashed on the ground unconsciously, and she focused all of her attention on thinking about how to say the next sentence, but she didn't notice. What did you step on under your feet.

"Zoe, there is something under your feet." Luna pushed her, and Zoe bent over to pick up the piece of paper. There were not many words on it. It looked like a text or message, although it was a peek. It was a rude thing, but Hermione was obviously upset because of this thing, and Zoe couldn't help taking a peek while picking up something.

The few words that flashed above made her face change: "What's the matter." She did not hand the letter to Hermione immediately, but took her arm and shook the paper, "I see Go to the top and say that someone has died."

"I don't know..." Hermione vaguely wanted to take it."Don't be sloppy with me at this time, Hermione. Tell me what happened and what can I do?" Zoe said sincerely. If Hermione is in any crisis, she insists on the cold war. There is no difference between scum.

"...Well, let me tell you." Hermione glanced uncomfortably at Zoe's hand holding her arm, but relaxed a little. "That's a letter from Crocker. We've been communicating. We I have been communicating with each other about SPEW rights...but this is not the point. This letter is the latest. It says that the dead person is a house elf."

"Three house elves-all of them employed by Hogwarts-have been killed. Crocker said that something bad was hiding in Hog ​​Modry. The guy was looking for the elves who went out to purchase. Kill them when they relax their vigilance." Hermione's tone was very heavy, and when she talked about business, she no longer had a strong sense of Zoe. "I and Crocker have an appointment to go in the evening. A trip to the kitchen in the basement. Fortunately, you took me there before, otherwise I might not find it."

"I'm going too." Zoe said immediately, "Don't want to drive me away." She noticed that Hermione opened her mouth and wanted to talk, "I am a member of SPEW and one of the founders. You can't take anything like this. I put aside, of course I want to go too."

Of course, this must be an excuse. She would be willing to spend time protecting the rights of the elves at home just because Hermione wanted to do so. She didn’t care if the elves wanted to be independent or enslaved. She would not insult them. But Zoe only wants to care about the people she wants to care about, those who make her feel warm, what else does everything in the world have to do with her?

She knew that Dumbledore wanted to develop her into a caring person, but she still couldn't find a reason to pay for those she didn't know, those who didn't care about her experience, and never reached out.She is not a kind and gentle person like Hermione after all.
