Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Harry..." Hermione dropped Krum (he has leaned over since Zoe walked to Fleur) and stood up, clenched her fists, she could feel the cold sweat in her palms.Although Zoe couldn't see it on his face, he was actually confused about the long time to enter the water.

"It won't happen, Hermione." Zoe trot over, breaking Hermione's clenched fist and holding it in her hand.

"But he has been inside for over an hour!" Hermione bit her lip."The thing he used is valid for more than an hour." Zoe looked at the stand, mainly Dumbledore who was walking towards the shore, "Give it to Dumbledore. He won't allow anyone to have an accident. of."

After another ten minutes or so, the audience's shaking emotions spread even more.Dumbledore knew that something must be done now.When he was about to do something, there was a wave of waves on the lake for the fourth time, and this time the splash was much larger than any previous time.

Harry had just risen out of the water, and suddenly felt some spicy gas in his nose and mouth, as if someone was pouring hot sauce into his mouth in front of him. Harry almost couldn't breathe. I almost suffocated.He dived into the water again, carefully took out the small red bottle from his pocket, and floated up again after counting down to three.

Enduring the pain, he drank the liquid inside in one breath.The effect was immediate, and he was able to breathe slowly again, and the feeling of being able to breathe in fresh air was more beautiful than ever.Ron opened his eyes and looked around as soon as he emerged, as did the little girl he didn't know, but their attitudes were completely different.Ron still looked a little excited, he acted calmly, and he obviously knew what was going on right away; but the little girl acted in a daze. Ha used one hand to hold her, but he could still feel the girl. Is struggling in horror.

"You can't swim?" Harry floated on the water, tilted his head back, and shouted at the little girl to prevent the lake from pouring into his mouth.But the girl seemed to not understand what he said, still tugging firmly by his sleeve."Help me, Ron!" The two of them swam to the shore guarding the girl.

Beside the three of them, green heads emerged one after another, and the mermaids followed.Harry stared at them with lingering fear, even though he knew from Ron’s mouth that the horrible sentences in the golden egg prompt were actually just for a test without surprises, and he did it for this. It took the most time, just because he thought they would die in the water without saving others.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief because of Harry’s appearance, and Fleur jumped up from the chair in ecstasy. She threw away the blanket she was wrapped in, and wanted to rush into the lake, but was pulled by Mrs. Maxim desperately Up.When Harry and the others were dragged ashore, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and rushed over to put the little girl in her arms, chanting constantly, English for a while, and French for a while.The little girl gradually calmed down and buried herself in Furong's arms.

While Fleur kept thanking Harry and Ron, Zoe took two more potions, and as soon as Mrs. Pomfrey wrapped the blanket on the two boys, she handed them the cup.Harry and Ron stared at the air unwillingly, their faces flushed.Zoe thinks Furong's kiss is probably far more effective than her potion in fighting the cold.

"They are discussing the scores." Things finally came to an end. Zoe looked at Dumbledore who was communicating with the mermaid and the adults who seemed to be arguing at the referee table, and she slipped back to Hermione. , Sticking to Hermione as if nothing happened, "How many points do you think Potter can get?"

"It's hard to tell." Hermione didn't seem to notice, she didn't chase Harry right away. "He was the last one to come out, and it was overtime... But for the sake of saving Fleur's sister, I I think they might deduct some points from him as appropriate."

"Their opinions are not uniform. Look, Bagman is arguing with Karkaroff. Look at their body language... Ah, Dumbledore is back." Zoe whispered in her ear. Dao, her breath hit Hermione's ear, itchy.Hermione pushed Zoe away at once, then covered her ears in shame.

"Don't go too far!" she yelled at Zoe in a low voice.She had noticed before that once Krum stayed at a distance that could be witnessed by Zoe, she had to deliberately make some weird actions, like demonstrating with Krum.

"There won't be another next time." Zoe immediately raised her hands, fearing that Hermione would really get angry at herself after becoming angry.She begged for mercy so quickly that Hermione didn't know how to answer the next sentence. She wanted to say "Why did you give up so quickly?!" Hermione felt ashamed to say this.

Krum stared at them vaguely, especially when he saw Zoe, there was a light of doubt and confusion in his eyes."Hermion, you guys..." He was just about to ask something when he was interrupted by Bagman's loud voice.It seems that the referees have already decided on the final scores of the four Warriors. They returned to their natural demeanor and sat on the referee's bench again.

Chapter 93 Trap

"Have you heard, Zoe Siegel's secret." Rumors spread where there are people. Exchange of true or false anecdotes with friends during lunch is also an essential part of student life. Students who are extremely passionate about gossip are never a small number, let alone such people always like to spy on the privacy of others.

The yellow-haired girl who listened to the girl’s words blinked dazedly: "About what? Did she raise a Harpy in the old classroom? Or about her always hypnotizing the students in the same bedroom at midnight and then taking them to Experiment with black magic in the forbidden forest?"

The girl who spoke first looked around, as if worried that someone would steal this secret information from her, she leaned close to the yellow-haired girl and lowered her voice: "Those you said are all outdated, and those things sound too bad. It's not true at all. But this time this one is very credible, and people like her can definitely do it."

Hearing that, the yellow-haired girl seemed to be ignited with curiosity, showing a look that was half expectant and half nervous.

"Want me to tell you?" The first girl smiled slyly, her smart eyes twirling on the yellow-haired girl. The yellow-haired girl obviously knew what she wanted to express."Go ahead, what do you want?" she asked unwillingly.

"I want the poster of the Quidditch star in the room, the one with Victor Krum riding on the broom and waving. I have collected all the rest of the content, and the series is just missing this one. ." She shook her fingers triumphantly."That's a limited sale poster, you can't...!" the yellow-haired girl shouted.

"Then don't listen to you, I'm not an unreasonable person. Handing in posters with one hand and intelligence with the other can be regarded as a loss and gain!" The dark-skinned girl laughed, as if she was sure. I will definitely get what I want in the end, so I don't worry at all.

"Well, okay, okay, it's yours. I will return to the dormitory to give it to you after class in the afternoon." After a long time, the tangles on the yellow-haired girl's face finally disappeared, she frowned, unhappy I agreed to this unequal treaty.

"Deal." The black-skinned girl patted her shoulder happily."Huh, don't you hurry up, you guy." The other person pushed his friend.

"You know Siegel is helping Professor Snape." The dark-skinned girl said.The yellow-haired girl was confused, and Zoe would sometimes appear directly in Snape’s potions class as Snape’s assistant, or stare at some wicked mischief and prevent them from being in Snape. Unseen corner pranks.Thanks to him, the fact that Zoe is Snape's proud protégé now is not a secret at Hogwarts.

"Don't look at me like that... Of course I will tell you the latest information, and it is very likely that this time it is not fabricated, but effective and true news!" The black-skinned girl continued, "The devil in our class the day before yesterday Siegel also came to be an assistant during the medicine class. But when she walked to my cauldron, something fell out of her pocket. She didn't notice it. I picked it up. Guess what's inside?"

She looked around again: "I'm only telling you about this matter ("Don't talk nonsense, have you taken my poster as a reward?") That's an ecstasy!" The yellow-haired girl was caught in an instant What she said was attracted, and she hurried over.

"Impossible!" she exclaimed."You keep your voice down... why is it impossible for her? She has this ability and can access those materials... Obviously she is doing some shameful things in private, don't you find it very exciting?" He took a small bottle out of his arms and shook it, letting a friend look at the small half bottle of liquid inside.

"Maybe it's just a cold potion or something... Hogwarts school rules don't allow private refining of ecstasy! If you get caught, she will be unlucky!" The yellow-haired girl is not so worried. Zoe’s studies, it’s better to say that the whole person is eager to try because of the deep excitement. What she hopes to hear will never be that Zoe is safe (because it is too boring), but that she is punished for breaking school rules .It's not that there is any enmity between them, but this development is more interesting.

"Do you really think so?" The dark-skinned girl looked at her and smiled knowingly after she shook her head. "Right? No one would really think that it was just a cold potion. Actually, I tried this medicine... "She looked at the weird eyes of the yellow-haired girl and waved her hands in a panic, "It's not what you think! I just experimented with animals, just a small drop."

"It's an ecstasy." She gave a silly smile, and put the bottle away again, "I have never touched this thing before. We must know that our fourth graders still don't learn the formula of an ecstasy."

"What I mean is: don't you think she must have made a lot of similar plans in private? It's not just an ecstasy, such as poisoning a guy she hates, or secretly hurting some people... You read that in the Daily Prophet According to a report, she may have confused Harry Potter with ecstasy!" The dark-skinned girl vowed.

"But what's the use? Or do you want to report her?" The yellow-haired girl was also very interested.

"How come! But I reasoned about it. I think the truth must be what I imagined!" said the dark-skinned girl. "After I got her ecstasy, I would definitely guess where she refining the drug. . She is unlikely to do this under Professor Snape’s nose, then she needs a sufficiently private place-such as a bedroom."

"Hiding in the dormitory to make medicine? What about her roommate?" the yellow-haired girl asked.

"I heard that the relationship between Siegel and her roommates is very bad. They will avoid her now. My sister knows one of them. She said that they are already preparing to change the bedroom." The black-haired girl patted. The table attracted the attention of many people around.

"Then she is the only one?" The yellow-haired girl said, tilting her head."Yes, I'm sure she has a whole set of medicine equipment in her dormitory, and she does these suspicious things in her dormitory every day. Alas, if I were an excellent reporter like Rita, I would definitely catch this big news! "The dark-skinned girl said regretfully.The yellow-haired girl just wanted to say something, she looked at her friend's shoulder and stared blankly.

"Oh my God, there is a beetle on your shoulder!" The black-skinned girl shook, and hurriedly patted the beetle away. When the beetle flew to a place where they couldn't see it, the black-skinned girl was still looking around in shock.

At this time, when the other friends of the black-skinned girl passed by them, they curiously said: "What secret did you two whisper about? Didn't you find that your two faces are about to collide?" They looked again To the yellow-haired girl, her expression was amazed, "I knew for the first time that you will have the cuteness of ordinary girls after you take off that pile of tatters." After a few jokes, they left.

"Then I should go too, there are still classes in the morning." The yellow-haired girl stood up.The dark-skinned girl waved at her.

"Go slow, Luna."

"Bye, Padma."

********

The sound of paper tearing came from a corner of the library.Mrs. Pins looked at the place where the sound was made alertly, worrying about which little bastard would dare to destroy the private property of the school library.

"What's the matter, what's that?" Hermione watched with curiosity as Zoe calmly tore the envelope in her hand in half. She seemed to know the content of the letter and turned it into scrap paper without looking at it. Throw it in the trash.

"Rita Skeeter has sent me a letter for the third time this week, hoping that I will accept her interview." Zoe shrugged and gave an apologetic smile to Mrs. Pins.

"Why?" Hermione realized that she was still in the library as soon as she said her voice, and quickly lowered her voice, "That nasty woman with no principled bottom line? After hurting Harry and Hagrid, she thought again. Want to continue hurting you?!"

"Actually, she ruined your image, Hermione." Hermione had a difficult time for a while. Rita's article faintly portrayed her as lingering between two innocent boys and deceiving them. The slutty girl, she was not only to be laughed at by the Slytherins, but also several times when she met some girls who claimed to be members of the Krum support club, and they were warned not to approach their idols.

Fortunately, Rita’s article did not slander Hermione’s image wildly, and Zoe also shared part of the firepower-mostly innocent letters of condemnation, admonishing her not to think about hurting the person with the sad past. Boy (apparently, Rita's first article on the tragic and sympathetic image of Harina is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people).But for Zoe, these sane letters of condemnation are like a small stone thrown into the sea, not even a wave, to her who has been bathed in malice and slander.

"I'm fine. What I care about is that she still wants to aim at you now?! If I were to grab the damn Skeeter's handle, I would hang her from a tree..." Hermione was furious, Zo Yi smiled and looked at her."I think she can't help it anymore." She blinked at Hermione. "If a person can't achieve their goals in a legal and positive way, wouldn't it be normal to consider using crooked ways? ?"

Chapter 94—Rita's Day of Disaster

Clang, clang, squeak, click, click, click.

There was a monotonous but piercing sound in her ears, as if someone was holding something sharp and poking on the plastic. Rita slowly woke up from her sleep, she opened her eyes, the world spread, everything in her eyes They all become exaggerated and illusory. Imagine the scenery peeped through the convex lens. It is a completely different feeling from what the naked eye usually sees.

Rita felt very strange, her feet tentatively peeked under her body, not as slippery as the ground or mud.Turning my head, I can only see the strange wooden long rod elongated through the lens. It looks like night outside, but there is a little light coming in through the gap.

When she transforms into a beetle, she can’t think as quickly as a human being. Although she can understand the most basic information, she can understand and understand the current situation, but she has to turn a few more turns. What the Animagus must experience after transforming is that their instincts and behaviors are close to the creatures they transform, and only the mind can slightly maintain the state of human form.

Rita tried to spread her wings, but her body was still limp, very weak, she hadn't fully recovered yet, and she could not completely control every part of herself.She tried to figure out what happened, before that she had to remember why she was now in a glass container (a conclusion drawn after trial and observation).

But before she had the leeway to sort out, the "cage" that locked her shook violently. Something outside hit it, and the container rolled back from the surface. Rita couldn't stick herself to the slippery. On the glass wall, she had to continue the cycle of rising to a high point, then falling down and then rising again. Even though half of her heart was just a beetle, she also had a desire to vomit.

Finally, the container hit something and stopped rolling. Rita was dizzy and she almost passed out.The threatening stimulus to her life and the horror of unknown situations aroused her strong desire to survive-hope.But the bad luck has not been completely over, it is better to say that this is just the beginning.
