Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Why can't you also control this body in Hogwarts? Then don't you have to worry about accidents?"

"Two reasons. One is due to consumption. This is not my original body. Even if it is perfectly compatible with me, it is made based on my body, but I am not the master. It is fine in a short time. , At least now I can’t control it within a year; secondly, it’s not necessary. I want to resurrect Tom, but Zoe is my important observation experiment, I need to see her grow. What you need to know is that maybe one day I will be destroyed by her, or she may be destroyed by me, so I will be an uncontrollable factor, and therefore your existence is necessary, Batty."

"I hope everything goes well." Moody muttered to himself, and then threw the two parchment papers into the goblet of fire without hesitation, watched the flames swallow them completely, and then turned away.

Chapter 55 The Four Warriors (Part 1)

There is nothing more annoying than a stranger living in your own house for no reason.

If you want to count the worse, probably when you are awake, you have to face people who are not good at coping. Even when you fall asleep, you must see your extremely disgusting face.

"Then you just need to close your eyes and not look at it?" What is even more annoying is that this person can still read the emotions in his heart. This situation becomes easier because there is no entity between them.

"No. I will practice Occlumency faster. The feeling of being peeped at is really terrible."

"Will Snape take the exam next week, but I didn't feel you resisting. Would you rather let Snape invade your brain rather than let your mother peep?" Zoe swallowed the depression in his throat."A real mother would never do such a thing!" However, Max pointed to himself without any psychological burden."And I am indeed your real mother."

"Except for our blood relationship, there is nothing similar."

"Isn't just blood ties enough? This is our most direct bond." Max said, "Of course, you just looked away, and you don’t want to admit it. Even if you don’t talk about blood ties, between us There are also many similarities—you want to learn pantheonism, don’t you?"

"But I don't want to use this ability to do something as boring as you..." Max interrupted her."I know. Not only because it allows you to get most of the information you want most directly, but also because of curiosity, desire for knowledge, and the search for the unknown... The search for knowledge does not require reason, it is just based on human instinct. In order to pursue knowledge, I can give up everything and be willing to ask the devil as long as I can give me what I want."

"Aren't you struggling with this in your heart?" Max looked at her."Don't go on anymore! I won't..." Zoe gritted his teeth, but couldn't continue."You will. You can't really stand it. As long as you are still my child, as long as you are still you, you will continue to pursue."

"I'm different from you." Zoe said."Obviously. But we do have similarities, which is a delightful thing." Max also provoked true and false."I won't feel happy at all, I don't need to spend countless lives in exchange for the dirty..."

"...But fascinating knowledge. I can see your heart, Zoe. Even if you keep denying it, you can’t really make it non-existent. People may divide good and evil, but knowledge does not. Black magic, can you look into my eyes and tell me that you have no interest at all? Then why are you going to track down that dark wizard, you are not a kind person who will bet your life for house elves. You just want Seeing and confirming with your own eyes is like you staring at Moody's unforgivable curse in Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Don't you want to try it yourself?"

"Impossible. In-depth study of dark magic will be tempting and degenerate, it will damage the minds of wizards, and turn them all into ruthless bloodthirsty people." Zoe said, closing his eyes.Relax, relax.Don't think about anything, and don't think that you are not thinking about it.Let your thoughts settle, don’t control, but accept, take it for granted...

"Oh?" Max squinted his eyes, the simplest peeking was no longer useful, the thoughts of the person in front of him became blank, and the things crowded in his head were disappearing quickly.This method is very clumsy, and it is necessary to use the method of eliminating sensation to dull the senses (so as to create the illusion of being alone). As long as a certain external force is given, this balance can be easily broken.

Even if he was strongly rejected, Max didn't seem to be a big deal.There is still a lot of time. She knows Zoe far more than Zoe knows herself.Just as it is impossible for people to see and accept themselves completely, some things may only be clearly felt by onlookers.

Halloween begins in the very festive morning.The magical bats were flying around on the sky, hanging upside down in the dark corners. Many students were shocked by the bat that suddenly flew on top of their heads.Carved pumpkins are piled all over the castle, and there are horrible chuckles from the mouth.But no one's attention is on Halloween decorations.

Zoe was very glum.Even though she slept well last night, when she heard Furong's noisy noise in the dormitory early in the morning, plus the irritability after being awakened, she didn't have any good face.

Fleur was whispering to her classmates in French. Zoe knew French. She heard that they were discussing. Now go to Mrs. Maxime first, gather everyone there, and then go to the Goblet of Fire with great power. The parchment for the competition.The two girls didn't talk to the other two people in the room either. Their faces were filled with excitement and expectation, but Furong's face was still mixed with arrogance.Then the two of them quickly left the bedroom.

"I want to hang those two people up, especially the one named Delacour. Does she use this as her palace?" Zoe was holding her forehead. She actually slept for enough time, but because she was quarreled. When I wake up, I look a little tired.As they walked through the lounge in the hallway, a group of Ravenclaw students passed by a girl who was almost buried in her robe.

"I saw that woman grows a beard, she looks pretty cool." Luna turned her head and said blankly, her eyes empty as if she was wondering what it would be like to have such a beard, and then she again Looking at Zoe, it's mainly the position of her chin.

"Stop. If I become like that and be seen again, I will erase all the memories of the people around me." Zoe knocked Luna on the head, "Probably to the infirmary. I must have been drinking before getting older. It’s a kind of medicine. But what the medicine adds is actually the physical age, and the age boundary survey is actually the mental posture, you can also say it is the soul."

"So they didn't pass?" Luna asked."Obviously, Dumbledore's humor." Zoe shrugged. "I don't understand why it makes no sense to let myself participate in this competition. I might as well learn a few more spells at this time to consolidate my skills. Occlumency." She thought of the temporary victory against Max, and she became happy again.

"The winner has a 1,000 Jin Jialong bonus!" Luna looked forward to authenticity."A thousand gallons? What's the big deal, Siegel's vault is much more than this." Zoe said nonchalantly."But it is undeniable that this is a lot of money. Even people who don't want to be honored will want money." Zoe agreed with her statement.

When they walked to the hall, they found it was more crowded than expected. The students stood nearby whispering to each other, and kept pointing to the goblet of flame in the middle.Whenever students from various colleges walked up with parchment, the students in the same college would burst into cheers, as if one of them was the future Hogwarts warrior.

Padma was there too, and a few Ravenclaw girls were surrounded by her.Padma greeted the two happily, she seemed to have something to say.

"You guys are late. Just now Demstrang’s students signed up together. I saw Krum walking in the forefront. The Weasley brothers in Gryffindor just had some fun, they wanted to secretly I signed up, but in the end they all grew beards..."

"I noticed that there were people on Ravenclaw's side also becoming like this." Zoe said.

"Yes, bless poor senior Fawcett, she should have gone to Madam Pomfrey, and Hufflepuff also has this situation... Who do you think the warriors in each school are?" She saw Zoe was short of interest, "Guess what?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we are just as spectators." But the worry she didn't say did exist.She was almost certain that someone would do something in the Triwizard Tournament, but she was unable to stop it.What she can do now is to increase her own bargaining chips before things are irreversible, at least to break free of Max's unilateral control.

Today is Saturday, and no time for class should be wasted.She still has a lot of things to do, of course she has to race her life against time in order to survive.Fortunately, most people didn't want to study because of the Triwizard Tournament. The library was empty today, and there was no one. Zoe stayed there until five in the afternoon.

The Halloween dinner is indeed rich, but no one really pays attention to the food.Students kept looking up at the teacher's seat, anxiously waiting for the end of the dinner time, because then they could know the candidate for the warrior.Of course, Zoe guessed that a large part of their anxiety came from Dumbledore's calm attitude, and he happily enjoyed his meal as if he hadn't noticed the gaze of the students.

There has never been a time when everyone is looking forward to the end of the meal instead of the start of the meal. But when this moment finally comes, the students’ tension and expectations have reached the culmination. They kept discussing with their surrounding colleagues, even Dumbledore. The moment I stood up, the voice decreased a bit, but after a while the discussion became louder.Not only the students of Hogwarts, but the students of Boothbatten and Durmstrang looked like everyone else.

Chapter 56 The Four Warriors (Part Two)

"Well, we have enjoyed the Halloween dinner happily, although most people's attention is no longer on this...Thank you, Argus." Dumbledore thanked Filch because he was holding it. Walking to Dumbledore with the goblet of fire, carefully placed the goblet of fire on the faculty desk, exactly in the direction of Dumbledore's position.Everyone can see the Goblet of Fire.

"Time is coming." Dumbledore looked around and said in a loud voice, "The Goblet of Fire is about to decide who will be the Warriors. When the Goblet of Fire is over, please move to my right hand side (He pointed to the corner of the right corner of the staff table. A small door) in this room, where the referees will give initial guidance to the Warriors."

As he spoke, the blue and white flames of the goblet of fire suddenly burst into a dazzling light.To make the effect better, Dumbledore extinguished the light of pumpkin lanterns and candles.The goblet of fire began to shoot sparks out of the cup, but the sparks jumped onto the table without any danger.

"Even if its temperature looks high, it must be a magic flame. I bet the thing won't hurt even if you put your hand in." Zoe said to Luna in the dark.Luna stared intently in the direction of the Goblet of Fire, which was also what other students in the auditorium were doing.

The flame of the goblet of fire suddenly turned into ordinary red, followed by a high fire tongue. Sparks popped out with a crackle. A piece of parchment paper slowly fell from mid-air as the fire tongue dissipated. Deng Bu Lido reached out and caught it.At this time the color of the flame returned to blue-white.

Dumbledore looked at the flames for a while: "Darmstrand's warrior is--" His voice was enough for everyone in the auditorium to hear clearly, "Viktor Krum !"

Durmstrang’s students applauded first, and the rest soon joined, and the auditorium was suddenly caught in a whirlpool of joy and expectation.Only Victor Krum, who was the person involved, did not seem to have much energy. He stood up and walked in the direction that Dumbledore said before in applause (not timid at all, he was obviously used to being surrounded by applause). Entered the small door.

"So it's up to us next." Zoe heard Fleur across from her—most of Busbarton still sitting at Ravenclaw's table—muttering to himself.Her companions were also very nervous, and some even made prayer gestures unconsciously.

The applause lasted for a while before it slowly eased.The flame of the goblet of fire turned red again, and the previous scene was repeated again, this time Dumbledore pronounced the name of the new warrior faster.

"Boothbaton's warrior is Fleur Delacour!" The applause rang again, and everyone's eyes were cast toward the Ravenclaw table. Even though Fleur looked graceful, Zoe was She was relieved when she heard the name.Furong used her best performance to pass through the crowd. The rest of Busbarton looked disappointed, and one or two girls cried out sadly.

"It's us." The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, but what was surging was invisible expectations.Whether it is Durmstrang or Boothbarton, even if they are curious about the candidates for the warriors of these two schools, the most important thing is always their own.The next step is to decide the outcome.The students held their breath and stared at the goblet of flames, and the flames burst out again, but the light and fluttering parchment was as heavy as fate.

Dumbledore took the parchment and chuckled when he saw the name: "Warrior of Hogwarts--"Perhaps it was an illusion. His pause seemed to be the longest of the three times, "It's Cedric Diggory!"

The cheers almost overturned the roof of the auditorium. The happiest person at the moment was undoubtedly Hufflepuff’s students. They screamed, stomped, and hugged each other with excitement. Cedric was crowded in the center. Wanting to come to shake hands and hug him, the students of the other three colleges seemed a little disappointed, but most of them were still willing to applaud Cedric. His excellence is obvious to all. He is not a warrior of Hogwarts. It's surprising.

"It's a pity, it's not from our hospital. But Cedric is indeed worthy of the name, and he is also quite good as a warrior at Hogwarts." Padma only fell for a few seconds before applauding wholeheartedly.If anyone besides Hufflepuff feels sincerely happy because of Cedric's selection, it is Qiu Zhang, who is about to pat her palms swollen.

Zoe clapped his hands lightly, but he started to feel confused.Did she think wrong?The warrior at Hogwarts is not Harry Potter, but Cedric Diggory, which is normal.Didn't they regard the Triwizard Tournament as part of the plan?

On the way Cedric walked to the small room, students kept reaching out and high-fiving him. There was a bright smile on his face. Even though his back had completely disappeared on the other side of the door, the cheers and cheers continued for a long time. As if he could still hear it.

Dumbledore had been waiting for the cheers to subside, and there was a sincere smile on his face: "Now, the warriors from the three schools have been selected. Although the warriors are the only ones who really stepped into the arena, Our support has never been useless..." He stopped talking and looked at the Goblet of Fire.

The goblet of fire actually changed color under the attention of the public. The warm orange-red that looked warm and bright before now looked so dazzling, and another tongue of fire burst out of the cup."Oh my God!" someone in the auditorium exclaimed.Dumbledore reached out his hand and caught the parchment, but instead of opening it immediately, he closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

He finally opened the parchment, and no one noticed him and sighed: "The fourth warrior--" The air in the auditorium was as cold as the extreme cold."Harry Potter!"

Zoe couldn't help standing up abruptly."Zoe?" Luna also looked a little at a loss, she pulled up La Zoe's sleeve."Finally, still..." she heard Zoe mutter.

The atmosphere was so silent that it was frightening. Everyone thought directly to stop because of this impossible situation.But the stagnation cannot be maintained forever. As the first student looked at Gryffindor’s table blankly, at Harry, who was still holding a cup like a woodcarving, it seemed that he just wanted to drink something to moisturize. Voice, the news directly frightened him.

Not only the students, but the professors were all at a loss. Professor McGonagall's face was tense, a hundred times more serious than her usual, and looked particularly scary.She is the only professor besides Dumbledore who should act now, because Harry is a student in her college.She walked quickly to Dumbledore's side, passed over the increasingly ugly faces of Karkaroff and Madam Maxim, and communicated with him in a low voice for a while.

Dumbledore seemed determined: "Come on, Harry." He said calmly, "Please come here, Harry Potter!"
