Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Did you not have lunch?" Krum frowned. He didn't want to see Hermione look like this.Hermione shook her head blankly."I don’t have much mood to eat, and I can’t swallow it. I’ve been thinking about things since the morning, and the world is turning around-I can calm myself down in class and tell myself that I need to concentrate on studying now, but as long as the class is over, I I don’t know what to do. I don’t want my friends to notice that something is wrong, so I endure desperately along the way." She gave a smile that didn’t know whether it was helpless or bitter. "At least I think the effect of avoiding the crowd is pretty good. Not bad, and no one has found my weakness."

Chapter 78 Invitation to the Ball (Part 2)

"I'll get you something to eat." Krum didn't wait for Hermione to refuse, patted her on the shoulder, and stood up.Hermione wanted to refuse, but Krum’s always gloomy face forced a slightly soothing smile. Hermione only felt discouraged. She did feel sad, tired and hungry. Krum actually left.

She waited for Krum at the corner outside the library. Within five minutes, Krum ran back, still holding a few wrapped breads in her arms."Drinks are not good to bring out, it can only be convenient. Or I will take you back to Durmstrang's boat to our place to eat some." He stuffed the bread into Hermione's hand and raised his hand to wipe it. Sweat from his head.

Hermione shook her head, and they leaned against a nearby wall."Thank you, Victor." Hermione tore the bread in small pieces."You are not alone. When I went to the auditorium just now, Potter and the red-haired boy were still discussing why they didn't see you here."

Hermione only ate one piece of bread and wrapped the rest again. They stood for a while before returning to the library."If you don't mind..." Krum pointed to himself, "I can listen to you."

After eating something, Hermione's emotions became much more stable, and she smiled at Krum, "Thank you." She was silent for a long time, "Actually I don't know how to start."

"It's okay, it's also very common." Krum comforted her, thinking about it or giving up on putting her hand on Hermione's.He didn't want to make his impression worse.

"...We were fined to stay in school yesterday to work." Hermione looked away, looking like she was talking to herself, "Actually, this is a very light punishment, just fined for cleaning. That person is also there. ."

"Just the two of you?" Hermione shook her head."There is another person besides me, a girl with a very strange personality, but very cute. We are all friends. We did it together." Krum frowned.

"We assign the work, and finally clean the bathroom together. Then I will do my share, thinking of doing it as soon as possible, and then find a chance to be alone with that person for a while, and muster the courage... It was originally this way. I feel until I hear those words." Hermione clenched her fists, both angry and painful.

Krum saw the Snitch dangling in front of him, but his opponent had something wrong and turned around and didn't see it.This is an opportunity, but it is not yet mature... "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to say..."

"It's okay, I've already thought about it." Hermione lowered her head. "It's just that the things I've been worried about suddenly become reality. My body is surrounded by weightlessness. At the time, I even felt that the bricks on the ground were cracked. , The opening hole will bury me in... That person likes someone else, but he shouldn’t be able to say it. That’s why I always wanted to euphemistically alienate me, but I just didn’t understand it and I was lucky. I thought that those were just my delusions, but just like me, I was awkward."

"How do you think he likes people? That bastard has a showdown with you?" Krum asked angrily.

"It's not like that. It's just that I heard that the person wanted to date another girl. And that person also said that it doesn't matter who I dance with, because this is my damn right." Hermione said. "I really couldn't stand it anymore and I wanted to run away. But I don't want that person to feel that I was left behind, sad, I don't need to listen to the explanation, I heard everything! I don't want to be at that time because I cry for this kind of thing! To be honest, I want to slap myself, slap myself first, and then slap that person!"

"But before I did this, our administrator arrived first. I didn't do that either. If I drag on for a few more minutes, I will probably be unable to bear the anger and do it..." Hermione's aura again Weakened, "Later I went back to the dormitory to sleep with my head covered, and I didn’t have any dreams, but after waking up, something kept trying to disturb me. I hate this feeling of being out of control. Turned me into something I don't know!"

"Forget him, what you need now is to use more beautiful memories to cover this bad thing." Krum said, Wei Wei leaned forward."As long as you are willing to tell me the name of that person, I will find a chance to fight him and make him regret it for hurting your heart." Hermione refused, and Krum put it down temporarily.

"You need a place to relax. Don't you think that a thorough carnival, delicious food and pleasant atmosphere can make you feel better?" Krum said sincerely, "I said before, I The invitation has not expired. I don’t want you to keep thinking about the unhappy things. You stretch yourself too tight. You need to relax. It’s a good experience to go dancing."

"No, Victor," Hermione said. "This kind of thing is despicable. You make me hate myself even more."

"This is not despicable, but you are willing. I am just showing my sincerity and I hope to bring you happiness." Krum said, he felt that he had found the first step to victory .

"You are right, I need to relax. But I can enter the venue alone, eat and watch Harry and the others dance. I am in fourth grade."

"But that will only make you lonelier. Your companions will find their own dancing partner, and they will not always follow you. You need a partner who can act with you on the day or listen to you when you need it. Talk." Krum said, "I won’t be troublesome, and I won’t bother you. You just take a dance with your friends. If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you to take on some What kind of role--in fact, it can help me a lot. I haven't found a partner yet, and the Christmas ball has been a few days away."

"But as long as you make this request, I can guarantee that nearly half of the girls in the castle will be willing to become this character. You don't have to chase someone..."

"I don't want it." Krum said, "I am attracted to you, so I want to invite you to be my dance partner. This is what I am sure I want to do. I am not a person who gives up lightly. You can’t be a good Quidditch player. It’s just a rejection. I don’t think I’m going to quit because of this. You’re despising your charm.”

"Besides, it's because you are underestimated by that bastard that he should understand his mistake, right?" Hermione was silent, and she spoke for a long time."Yeah, I shouldn't be sighing like a bitter woman here. Even if everything is over, I will let her know that I can live well alone." Hermione spoke in a very small voice, just a piece of self. Just talking to yourself.Krum knew she was thinking about it.

"Regardless of whether we start here or not, at least as a friend, I want to invite you again. I hope you can be my dancing partner and go to the Christmas party with me—"

*******

"You said Krum invited you?" Zoe tried his best to endure the emotions that were about to explode. Hermione just left Luna and told them indifferently that she had met Durmstrang's in the library at noon today. Warrior Victor Krum, then Krum invited her to the Christmas ball.

"The nose monster likes you?!" Luna knew she shouldn't laugh, but she still kept her face off. This title was taken by herself when she and Zoe talked about a few warriors, because Krum has a big eagle. Hook nose.Zoe suddenly used it now, and it was obviously based on ugly anger.

"Pay attention to your words, Zoe." Hermione frowned. "Victor is very nice, and you are too innocent to say that."

"Viktor? You have already started to call him by his name directly? Why don't you call him Waikie?" Zoe felt a rush of heat rushing into her forehead. She wanted to hold back the emotions that were about to go out, but couldn't Do it now.

"So you are going to accuse me for calling my friends? Did I call you'Siegel'? Don't let me look down on you, Zoe." Hermione was also angry, although she had shown a calm before. Now looking at Zoe's desperate appearance, it is impossible to be indifferent, and naturally he was drawn out of the flame in his heart.

"Friend? Don't you know that the man wants to date you!" Zoe was very annoyed. "He wanted to chase you, so he used his friend status as an excuse!" Hermione was not to be outdone."You are now a love expert again, aren't you? I have a clear conscience! And even if what happens between me and Krum, it is not your business!'This is my right', this is not your own Did you say that? What qualifications do you have to control who I want to dance with?"

Hermione took a step back, and she hid the anger and emotions in her heart in the cold mask again.

"I agreed to Wiktor's invitation to be his dance partner at the Christmas party. I just wanted to say this."

Chapter 79: Talking (Forcing)

After that, the depressed atmosphere was like the black night sky, without the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and it weighed heavily on the hearts of the three.Hermione and Zoe didn’t say a word, they just silently buried their heads in doing their own things. Zoe would rather be wounded on his hands by the snails because of his rough movements than to ask Hermione for help. once.Hermione's actions paused when Zoe was injured, but she didn't say a word.

Just when Luna felt the atmosphere was so unbearable that she wanted to scream, she finally finished serving these violent big guys.Zoe threw the tools into the toolbox and was not in the mood to tidy them up. He raised his foot and left the backyard of Hagrid's cabin.Luna hurriedly greeted Hermione, and then left.

Hermione stood there for a long time, until the tip of her nose had lost feeling, and her hands and feet froze.He sighed faintly, retracted his gaze from the direction where the two people had left, packed up everything and left.

So be it, she thought.It's just that Zoe was injured in the end. Maybe it was because she wanted to take revenge again, but in the future, even friends should not be able to do it.Despicable people, getting this kind of retribution deserves it, Hermione laughed at herself.

"Let's go to the infirmary, your hand." Luna had to speed up to catch up with Zoe, who was walking extremely fast.She could probably interpret her feelings, even if she didn't spare her physical effort, it was easier than continuing to endure the emotions of violence.It's better to say that this kind of walking without worrying about the physical condition is to let the pain of the body eliminate the pain of the soul.

"No." Zoe said stiffly, shaking off Luna's hand that was holding her, "I'm fine, let's go back, and have class tomorrow."

No matter how Luna repeated it, she didn't care about her bloody palm, she just kept rushing forward.After returning to the dormitory, the sound of her movements caused Fleur and Amber, who were already asleep, to murmur a few words in dissatisfaction, but what can Zoe care about?She only felt that a certain part of her body was disintegrating, causing piercing pain.

"At least put some bandages." Luna threw her a roll of bandages, which Madam Pomfrey had given Zoe before, and was one of the thanks for helping.Although she still hasn't figured out why she wanted to give this thing, Luna is still very grateful for such a suitable prop on hand when she needs it.

Zoe caught the thing in silence without saying much, and she didn't want to stain the sheets, even if the elves would help her handle it the next day.Madam Pomfrey taught her a few hands, plus many practice in the first game, at least not to worry about bleeding.

When she put the quilt on her head, she only hoped that she could disappear into the darkness.

*******

"Why, so angry today?" Max's joking voice sounded from his ears.Zoe wasn't interested in talking to her, and didn't even want to meet her eyes."So that's it... you were dumped." But before he had time to guard, his mind was spied on.The nonchalant tone of the other party was the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the last four words were particularly harsh.

"Go away... the flames are raging!" The surrounding grass was surrounded by flames, and it ignited in the direction of the boundary. The flames smoothly passed through the junction of light and darkness, whizzing and almost igniting Max's shoes.Max's eyes lit up, and a magic wand appeared in his hand. "There are many obstacles." The invisible wall blocked her, blocking the flames, and even the temperature did not penetrate. "Water flows like a column." A jet of water as thick as half of a palm came out from between Max's rod and extinguished the flames outside.

Zoe did not intend to end this way, but repeatedly cast spells. These things were more powerful than she used to throw rocks or something, but she did not break through Max’s defense, even if it was once able to break Max’s armor, but She will quickly make up the next one before the next strike arrives.

The more Zoe attacked, the greater the frustration in her heart, and the more her mind began to break free from reason. Before she could react, she had already roared the unspeakable spell.

"Avada So!" The dazzling green light swishes against Max's armor. The power of this spell is completely different from those commonly used spells that have only been improved and weakened. Moody once said in class However, if you want to truly exert the power of the three unforgivable spells, you need very powerful magic power.Enraged by Zoe, even if he couldn't use the power of this spell for the first time, it was far more powerful than the jokes that only made people nosebleed.

Max’s armor was originally destroyed by more than half of its defensive power. Not only did Avada Suo make a cracking sound when he first touched it, but he didn’t hold it for two seconds. It was broken.Zoe watched this spell hit Max, and then she suddenly stood still.

After half a minute or so, Max opened his eyes and vomited a large amount of blood from his mouth casually.His face became pale.Of course, she doesn't have the concept of blood and flesh, just a form of expression after injury.

"Is this called the rebellious period?" As soon as Max waved his wand, Zoe felt that her limbs were bound to death by the sudden emergence of vines. She was confined to the big tree. "This is not It's commendable, it's such a thing as to blame one's fault on others."

"Do we still care about this?" Zoe sneered, her eyes were red, and Max walked over with his wand.

"Of course, it's still a truce. I should also perform my duties as a mother."

"Obligation? I just want to retaliate. Needless to say such disgusting words! If it weren't for you, how could we have come to this point!" Zoe's eyes narrowed subconsciously when Max reached out his hand. , Don't look away.

"So I said, don't throw your own problems on others." Max did not attack her unexpectedly, but stood in front of her, "I don't know you are so afraid of me? It's rare that I want to try it. Talk to you."

"Why should I blame you just now for Avada's life? Well done, isn't it? Although it looked weak the first time, you will get used to it soon." Zoe frowned."Get used to it? Why should I get used to it."
