Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Her injuries are not serious, as long as she is properly treated, she can wake up quickly. Are you not here to wait for her to wake up?"

Zoe thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, Mrs. Pomfrey. Whether it is for me or for her, I am not suitable for being the first person she sees when she wakes up. She must be very annoying. I."

"But you helped her when she needed it. This is a respectable behavior. Even if there is a conflict between you, she should also thank you." Madam Pomfrey smiled softly, "Not to mention that you are already the first I helped her the second time. Didn't you bring her here when this classmate fell into the water?"

"That's all Diggory's credit. He jumped into the water to bring Longbottom out, and he brought Longbottom all the way to the infirmary. Luna and I basically did nothing." Zoe pendulum Waved his hand, "I will intervene, just because I was the only one present this time. If there were other people at the time, I wouldn't care about it."

Madam Pomfrey looked at her with a smile, as if watching a sensible junior. Zoe couldn’t help but put aside her face. She had also been taken care of by Madam Pomfrey in the past few years. In the hearts of Hogwarts students, She may be the most difficult person to deal with.

"Stay, Miss Siegel. Even if it's a small favor, I'll have Miss Longbottom's bones re-sutured later, so that she won't be too painful, you can help me make a pain-relieving potion. Is it?" said Madam Pomfrey, "Severus said you were studying under him, and I have not been very well recently."

Zoe nodded helplessly. She had clearly seen the sealed pain reliever sold in Diagon Alley on the shelf in the infirmary before.But since Madam Pomfrey had said this, she could not continue to refuse.

******

Daisy opened her eyes dimly, she quickly recognized from the touch of her body that she was lying on the bed, and the faint smell of potion floated around. She was no stranger to the surrounding environment. This is the infirmary. Been here not long ago.

As soon as she wanted to sit up, there was a tingling pain in her body. The arms, waist and legs were hot, and the pain was always there, but when she tried to move her body, all the latent pain suddenly came up.

"You don't move now, I'll call Madam Pomfrey." The voice in my ear sounded very stiff, with a weak tone, and didn't feel much care, but it was not insignificantly cold.Daisy saw a steaming cup placed on the bedside cupboard, then she tilted her head laboriously and saw the black robe nearby.

Climbing up the robe, she saw the man's face clearly.Zoe faced Daisy's surprised expression with her mouth wide open, and sighed: "I told you to stop moving. If you can't get better sooner, I won't be able to go back to the bedroom as soon as possible." Daisy stared incredulously. From the back of Zoe, he only thinks that this is probably an unsmiling joke.

Madam Pomfrey only gave a small trick to let Daisy's cracked and broken bones begin to grow.This simpler injury can assist the bone-generating potion depending on the situation. For Mrs. Pomfrey, even if all your bones disappear from the body, she can let them grow again.

"Don't worry, my dear." She handed the potion to Daisy before casting the spell. "Don't hold back. If you feel unbearable, drink a glass. Even if you are not badly injured, you don't need bone potion, but The bones need to grow again and then stitched together, which is quite painful."

"Besides there are some bruises and skin injuries. I will help you deal with them separately. You can sleep in the infirmary tonight. You can catch up with breakfast tomorrow..." Madam Pomfrey handled Daisy's injuries. After that, he left Zoe and walked away.Zoe looked weirdly at Daisy holding the cup. She sometimes showed pain, but she just clenched her teeth and didn't drink the painkiller in the cup.

"Don't you hurt?" Zoe noticed Daisy staring straight at her, and could only say a nonsense.

"Of course I hurt. Are you stupid, Siegel." Daisy gritted her teeth and said, "But I should have to bear the pain completely because of that stupid thing. That's why I won't drink this potion. ."

"I thought you didn't want to drink it because I boiled it." Zoe raised his eyebrows.

"Um... I just know this. But you are right. If I knew you made this potion early in the morning, I wouldn't drink it. I don't need your sympathy."

"I didn't want to sympathize with you at all. It was Madam Pomfrey who came to ask me, and I would help. Would you not be affectionate?"

Daisy just managed to get through the most painful beginning stage, and when she got used to the pain and itching, her face eased a lot.

"But anyway, I still want to thank you." Daisy's voice was weak but also firm, and she bowed her head towards Zoe."If you weren't there at the time, my injury would definitely worsen. When I fell, I was so painful that I fainted, and my head was also dizzy, and I couldn't do anything at all. I thought it was probably going to happen. Someone would find me the next morning, but I was seen ashamed by you."

Chapter 61 Flying in the Sky...and then Falling (Part 2)

"You flew so badly." Zoe said, "I thought there could be no person in the world who rode worse than my broomstick, but your presence refreshed this understanding. A few minutes before the next day. I can still fly safely, I would like to ask you how you can fall directly into the lake."

"No way. I don't want to be like this, but I can't hold on for a long time, usually after a minute or two, my hands and feet become sore. The consequence of not being able to control the broom is that it just falls off, but I haven't been able to overcome this." Xi slowly raised his hand.

"The first time I fell into the lake was an accident. I wanted to do better at the time, but I couldn’t see the road well. I flew with my eyes closed because I didn’t want to take the first flight class because I couldn’t fly. Becoming the laughing stock of the whole school will not only make me miserable, but also embarrass the Longbottom family."

"Close your eyes? So why do you want to..." Zoe stopped talking in shock, "Are you afraid of heights?"

She saw that Daisy did not refute her, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Why do you want to take flying lessons for fear of heights? As long as you make it clear to the professor, you can even be exempt from taking this course."

"No." Daisy gritted her teeth. "It's just a small problem like a fear of heights. Every qualified wizard must learn to fly. You think I didn't know that when Neville was in the first grade, I was badly flew. Do many people laugh? Some of them even take this incident as evidence of the decline of the Longbottom family, thinking that the future of Longbottom is just like that, a wizard who can even be afraid of broomsticks and the sky? How could such a person shoulder it The future of Long Barton's family?"

"What are you talking about? There are more wizards who don't like riding broomsticks than you have eaten in your life. I have never heard that a real wizard has anything to do with how well he flies." Zoe Frowning."But this is a compulsory course! I just need to survive this year and get a good score in the flight class. I only need to endure for a year. Neville is enough to shame our family. I can't let grandma on this. Disappointment. I have to let those who despise the Longbottom family know that they are wrong, and I have to be number one."

"That's why you started to practice secretly by yourself?" Daisy hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Listen, Longbottom. You know best what it feels like when someone who is afraid of heights is in the sky. Didn't you think about your life safety before doing these crazy actions? The first time you fell into the lake, The second time I fell directly to the ground. If you really want to abuse yourself, don’t let me run into it every time, okay? How much trouble do you want to cause others?" Zoe was irritated for no reason, she looked in front of her Daisy frowned stubbornly, just trying to grab her by the collar and call her childish.

"What do you know about me? If I don't do this, I won't be able to feel at ease. I don't want to lose my grandma's approval, nor do I want to lose this shelter, let alone the things that I cherish because of a wasteful deed that will be a joke Look!" Maybe it's because of the panic that life has been threatened, or maybe it's because she has suppressed these heavy thoughts in her heart for too long and too long. Daisy squeezed the cup as if she was about to crush it. , The pain in her body stimulated her emotions to be on the verge of losing control, and in this silent night, it prompted her to constantly speak the truth in front of people she hated.

"I hate Neville the most." Daisy said gloomily. "Kind, honest, but dull and stupid, even by Muggle standards, he is an out-and-out incompetent guy, timid, cowardly, no I dare to resent anyone and always avoid conflicts with others. But such a person is Longbottom, the children of his parents, and the most anticipated existence in the entire family."

"Did you know? Before entering school, Neville was almost regarded as a dumb gun (that is, a person from a wizard family who cannot use magic). He felt that he could not become a wizard. He was really slow. I was secretly thankful at the time. Because I showed my talent as a wizard very early, I thought that without Neville, I would be the best, able to live up to this surname and make every family member proud of me..."

Zoe really wanted to get up and walk away, or to punch Daisy in the head of the self-talking brat.But she continued to listen to Daisy talking, she understood that Daisy wasn't even talking to her at this time, she just needed a vent.

"I originally wanted to comfort my grandma, although I must also endure the pride in my heart... But once we had afternoon tea together, Uncle Algie wanted to tease Neville, but accidentally dropped him off the balcony. Yes, Neville is of course not dead. He has shown his magical talent, and he bounces up on his own, and nothing happens..."

"You want him to die?" Zoe asked, but Daisy stared at him."Of course it's impossible. Why should I let him die? He is my brother! Although I am jealous of him, I don't want him to die... At that time, everyone in the Longbottom family was happy like it was Christmas. Can you Imagine? They ate and drank and quarreled until noon the next day. Just because Neville would not be a dumb gun, he would become a wizard, so that the Longbottom family would be succeeded."

"No one really wants Neville to be unpromising. Grandma is very strict with Neville, almost to the point where it is disgusting. She wants Neville to be a bold and strong person instead of being weak and incompetent like now... …It’s all based on expectation and love..." Daisy sighed, "Grandma always looks at Neville. Everyone in the family thinks Neville will be the hope of the family, so they are all willing to encourage him instead of Look at me who has been working hard."

"Didn't your brother say that your grandma values ​​you very much."

"I know, what I said before does not mean that I was rejected by this family. On the contrary, they are all very good to me, but they don't really expect me to bring Longbottom, even if I think I am far away. Better than Neville... I feel pain because no matter how much I want to blend in with them, I will not be Longbottom’s future for them... No matter how stupid Neville is, they will put their greatest expectations. On him. And it’s just because I don’t have the same blood as them, so no matter how hard I try, I can’t be a real Longbottom."

"I know they want to hide it from me, but children will always eavesdrop on some secrets from various places, let alone when she has gradually become aware of the eyes of others, and once the adults neglect to keep secrets , The secret is no longer a secret." Daisy’s arms have completely recovered, she rolled up the hair at the ends of her hair and wrapped them around her fingers, "When your family members have been in fact not your real family members, Don’t you feel scared? Just because there is no longer a blood connection, I have caused fear and pain in my heart that I have never had before, and I can’t help but start to speculate about the feelings of people around me.”

"Fear of being abandoned because of willfulness, afraid of being abandoned because of doing something wrong, afraid of being abandoned because of not being needed...I, since I have a clear consciousness, I have been a Longbottom, I love my family , I am willing to give everything for it, but the connection between me and it and them has been severed, and it has become as terrible as a bottomless cliff. I want the real recognition of my family, and I want them Not treating me as a poor, adopted child, but a true and proud member of the family...So I will do my best, and I will shoulder the responsibilities that the descendants of the family should shoulder."

"I am different from Neville. I will not be forgiven and forgiven unconditionally because I have the same blood. I want my grandma and everyone to see my value. If I can't even fly lessons If I overcome it, I haven't even taken the first step." Daisy said stubbornly.

"...I would assume that I didn't hear anything." Unconsciously, the irritability gradually disappeared, just listening to other people's troubles, but it was like facing the open heart of others.Although I am still a little overwhelmed, this is not just an act of socializing on the surface, and the feeling it brings is not very bad, and my heart is still itchy.

"It's great for me that you can keep it secret." Daisy calmed down, lowering her head and staring at the cup.She drank the cold potion in the cup in one breath, then frowned and said "so bitter".

"To tell you these things is not to say that I trust you, Siegel. I just can't restrain myself..."

"I don't know what you mean by this. But if you really want to thank me for bringing you here, don't keep staring at me while I'm eating, OK? I hate being stared at by something. Keep it going, it will make me feel very irritable." Zoe stood up and said goodbye to Daisy. If she didn't leave and bumped into Filch, she would be targeted.

Even if she had a reason to go back to the bedroom so late, even if Filch would let her go because of the testimony of Snape and Madam Pomfrey, she would definitely regard her as one of the candidates for the important problem person from now on. I don't want the image of a good student to break down from Filch's side.

Chapter 62 Eye Disease Curse

Usually at breakfast time, the owls will pass through the auditorium in groups, and then they will find their respective owners and give the mail, gift or newspaper to the person they should deliver.At this time, the already lively auditorium will become more and more noisy. The sound of owls flapping their wings and the clear sound of chirping are mixed with the students’ shouts of surprise or panic when they receive letters. It seems very energetic.

Zoe threw the coin into the small cylinder on the owl's leg. The messenger owl gave a soft cry and spread its wings and flew away.Just seeing the exaggerated headline on the front page and the photo occupying a large area of ​​the page, Zoe probably knows something messed up in it.

Quickly scanning this report on the Triwizard Tournament, Zoe kept an indifferent face except for frowning in certain narratives.Rita Skeeter is a seasoned journalist, but this is not to say that she has made a lot of achievements in reporting, but to irony that she is very good at finding the balance between facts and exaggeration. She knows that if a report wants to If you want to be on the "Prophet Daily", you must not be full of nonsense (only "Singing and Singing" will do this unscrupulously), even if she writes how attractive, there is no report based on facts forever It's just fake news.

But this woman is very clear about what readers like to watch. She can always walk around the bottom line steadily, but she writes some extremely sensational and moving words, as if what she is doing is not a fair and objective news. Report, but a fairy tale with twists and turns."I was so moved that I was crying. Skeeter directly portrayed Potter as a tragic protagonist. Why didn't she go and read Shakespeare's "Hamlet"." Zoe flipped over the other pages and couldn't find it. If there is much useful information, just put the newspaper on the table and continue to have breakfast.

"Who?" Luna was busy spreading jam on the slices of bread. Her way of eating was also very strange. It was obviously sweet jam, but topped with cut salted sausage and mashed potatoes to make something like a sandwich. The mouth was stuffed, and even after one bite, his speech became vague.

"William Shakespeare, an English Muggle playwright, also writes poems. Professor Bubbaji is telling a chapter about him. "Hamlet" is a piece written by him... well, a story about revenge. The protagonist and this article The Porter on the report feels similar, they are all miserable."

Luna took the newspaper and scanned it and read aloud: "Harry and a girl named Hermione Granger are inseparable. Miss Granger is amazingly beautiful and was born in Ma..." Zoe snapped. Pull the newspaper back at once."Why are you reading it out!" Luna looked at her straightforwardly, and finally made her growl in self-deprecation."All right! All right! I care very much. I care very much. Are you satisfied?"

Yesterday’s wrongdoing was immediately exposed by Snape. Today, he still has to be teased by the insider Luna. Zoe desperately resisted the feeling of throwing the newspaper to the ground, "I know they are not in that kind of relationship, but you know, There is a thorn stuck in the throat. Recently, she always refuses us because of Potter's depression—your invitation...I always worry that if she takes advantage of the situation...No, if that happens, I will kill. He." Zoe gritted his teeth.

*****

Right at the Gryffindor table, which is separated from Ravenclaw by a table, Harry suddenly had an excitement. He always felt that there was a cold current running through his back just now. It felt a bit like being kidnapped when he didn't know the truth last year. The feeling of Sirius's gaze, but he didn't notice any strange gaze this time. He just felt uncomfortable, as if someone was cursing him.
