Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Are you afraid of this person?" When the girl nodded, she said again."Let me tell you that she is not scary at all. I can beat her at any time. You don't have to be afraid of what she will do to you. She can't beat a second-year student." She raised her head proudly and took out her wand. And Zoe looked at each other in full view.

Her eyes seemed to say, "In order not to make trouble here, do you choose to cooperate or choose to cooperate?" Zoe was itching with hatred. She felt that Daisy had deliberately said those things just to make trouble for her (maybe So a little bit is to appease the new student), and Daisy is sure that she doesn't want to be troubled by such embarrassment than losing the "duel".

Although losing the duel would definitely bring her a lot of rumors, but it seemed that she had no choice.With a sigh, Zoe also took out his wand.

Chapter 37 The So-called Dark Wizard (1)

"Why come back so late...what's wrong with your stomach?" Luna sat on her bed, fiddled with it, wondering if it was a "magic prop" newly developed by her or her father. She looked at the drill in confusion. Zoe, who entered the doorway, rubbed his stomach in pain.

"It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable and vomiting, the damn guy actually greeted me directly on my stomach..." Zoe shut up and didn't want to say more. Even Luna, she didn't want to repeat her embarrassment. Once again, she could still recall the triumphant look in Daisy's eyes when she looked at her after the "duel" was over, with the unique light in her eyes after the success of the prank.

"Hello to my stomach...?" Luna blinked, but Zoe insisted on not saying more, so she didn't ask any more questions."Is it fun to be a prefect?" she asked enthusiastically.

"It's not fun at all. I really want to return this badge to Professor Flitwick." Zoe complained, throwing herself into the bed, the soft and comfortable touch was so comfortable, she was finally relieved.

They chatted casually for a while, mainly Luna was talking, and they were not important topics. They revolved around her and her father’s daily life, but it was completely different from the discomfort when Anthony talked about it, at least from friends. These are still very interesting.This is a long-lost routine for Zoe.

But she was too tired to listen to Luna all the time.After lying on the bed, remembering what she was about to start experiencing in a while, she wanted to immediately take out her crucible and boil herself a potion of energy.

*************

Although Zoe had long known that Max had an extraordinary obsession with curiosity, and even reached a certain degree of morbidity, when she faced all this personally and actively asked Max to be stricter on her, she discovered Even if it is just studying, it is very difficult.

Consciousness is different from the memory of the body. Here, she cannot use the so-called experience that Max has given her. She has become a blank piece of paper again and needs to rewrite the necessary chapter.But doing so can make the understanding of knowledge become more profound, instead of passively recalling reflexive actions.Although struggling, Zoe thought he had to survive.

"The definition of black magic has become very general now. It no longer refers to a certain kind of magic with obvious characteristics as in the past, but has become more complicated. As a result, the black wizard is no longer a one. This is a special name, almost as long as it is a wizard who has the will to hurt others or studies taboo magic—of course, it may also be the image of someone you want to discredit, then as long as you push him toward the dark wizard, you can get people into panic."

She originally didn’t have much hope for Max’s teaching. You must know that Max has never had experience in systematic teaching. She originally thought that Max could only train herself rough and flawed, and it must be based on actual operations. Lord, because although theory is more boring and abstract than practice, it is not easy to summarize, especially the most important part of the theory is the language that is refined, valuable, and can be truly understood and accepted.

Max is indeed an honor student, but this does not mean that she must be an excellent educator, because geniuses often have their own unique learning methods, which are usually not replicated.The geniuses benefited from this method and made rapid progress, but other people could not understand this kind of thinking, which made the efficiency of both parties unsatisfactory.Geniuses think that ordinary people are stupid, and ordinary people also think that geniuses are unreasonable.

But Max is different. She didn't intend to go deep from the beginning, but started from the most obvious theory. She was not hesitant to accept the opinions of others. When Zoe listened to her first lesson about dark magic, I have lost the sense of sight that cannot be ignored, and then remembered that those are all the conclusions drawn by the original author Quentin Trimbo in "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense".

"I thought you would be so conceited that you wouldn't quote any sentences of others. How could you be willing to teach honestly like a professor?" Zoe asked incredulously.

"Don't be so naive, Zoe. You don't have to put your prejudice against me on academics." Max said casually at the time. She directly demonstrated the process of a wizard cursed of degeneration from degeneration to death. The biggest advantage of consciousness is that as long as you have a clear impression of something, you can probably "copy" it directly into your consciousness.

"Since there are so many masters who have gone so far on this academic road, those who are latecomers can certainly not waste these achievements. Since Quentin's achievements in this area are far better than mine, why don't I use his language? , And want to use my innocent opinion?" Max pointed to the twitching man, his flesh and skin stuck to the bone like paper.

"Then what is your familiar field?" Zoe looked away from the struggling person with a bit of disgust. Even if he knew that these were all illusions, he would still have subconscious disgust.

"That's mainly magical creatures..." Max shrugged, "and the Unforgivable Curse."

"Fantastic creature?" Zoe raised an eyebrow. "That's why I always avoid this course?"

"That has nothing to do with me, it's just that you can't step through this hurdle yourself." Max said, "I originally liked the state of creatures when they were struggling, and I liked to observe their changes in various situations, whether it was worry-free. Worry, or dying. Of course, I will also experiment with many things with them."

"Stop, you will let me spit out my overnight meal." Zoe Qing stopped her with a face.

They have been talking about the curse for a week, and Max said this is a very detailed area."What you need to know is that although the term curse sounds terrible, but in other words, it is just a technique to achieve the goal by acting on the target through media or language, and it is easy to preserve. Come down. The curse with the longest known duration can even be as long as a thousand years." Max said, "But a curse generally requires a condition to trigger it. As long as you don’t trigger it, it will not take effect. This It also allows it to become very hidden and unpredictable."

A tattered doll appeared in her hand: "It looks very suspicious, doesn't it? It makes people think that there must be something unclean on this kind of thing." Another copy appeared in her other hand. An ordinary book with a black cover, with the words "Curse and Anti-Curse" written on it.

"If you were to choose with your first impression, which one would you choose?" She glanced at Zoe, "You must choose one."

Of course Zoe pointed to the book."Yes, anyone with a normal mind would not choose this doll." Max threw the doll to the ground and it disappeared."Then why don't you suspect that this book is cursed? Because it is an ordinary book without any abnormalities, is it?"

The answer is irrefutable, and Zoe nodded."And that's the first mistake many people make: they think the dark wizards are sinister and gloomy people, so they are more inclined to choose the tattered dolls that give the same impression as the medium— -But as long as they are willing to think more, they will find that since they are insidious people, how can they do such things that can be exposed at a glance?"

"You mean I should choose this book?" Zoe asked.

"I want you to answer the question in the way of the dark wizard-don't choose either." Max said, "If I were the dark wizard, I would curse both the doll and the book, no matter which one I choose. One will be recruited."

"Wait, but you just said that I have to choose one." Zoe frowned. "Then I'll be tricked anyway?"

"Oh, can't you get rid of the kind of thinking peculiar to decent people?" Max looked at her, "If you are a dark wizard, you don't care if you have to follow the rules. You should not adapt yourself to other people's rules. You must Put your own rules first, let the other person adapt to you, instead of being a dog wagging its tail under someone else’s feet-when I want you to choose one, you should just kill me, because you have to do it To dominate me, not me to dominate you."

Seeing Zoe's aggrieved face, Max chuckled lightly: "You said you want me to teach you the way of thinking of people like us, then you have to get used to it. There is only one rule for equality between dark wizards: strong We don’t care about rules, we don’t care about ethics, we want to harm others, and ignore dignity and inferiority-of course, the premise is that you have absolute power and be cunning enough. If you want others to submit, you must establish absolute authority, and Plant fear deeply into the heart of the prey."

Her smile reminded Zoe that she could only lock herself up and weaken because of fear in the past. If this is what she said to establish authority, then Zoe is really touched.

Chapter 38 The First Day (Part 1)

When Zoe yawned at the dinner table for the fifth time within ten minutes, Luna had to turn her attention completely.

"Did you have insomnia last night, Zoe?" She watched the faint blue color of Zoe's eyes in confusion. "You obviously slept very early."

"Hmm...huh?" But Zoe didn't even respond to her in time. Instead, he stared at the plate and posted for a while. "No, don't worry, I do have some insomnia, but it's not important at all. I know I am What to do, Luna."

"I didn't ask what you are doing... what are you doing?" Luna asked with a frown.

"No." Zoe replied quickly, "I just miss the Hogwarts bed a bit. It's soft and comfortable. No matter it's a damn prison or a hotel bed, it can't match this one." She greeted graciously. Luna hurried to eat, because they had been in the dormitory for a long time, and both of them had classes in the morning.

"Thank God, I don't have to face Umbridge today." Zoe said vaguely, her demeanor still a little sluggish. She only slept for less than four hours yesterday, but still felt that she was not enough time.She looked at the class schedule, and even the curse class (with the Hufflepuffs), astronomy class and the history of magic were not too many.

She glanced at Umbridge who was eating breakfast on the teachers' bench. She smiled and spooned a spoonful of mashed potatoes, then opened her big red mouth and ate it, like a toad eating.Zoe noticed that the professors were very indifferent to her. Even though she smiled and provoked the topic, they did not give her a chance to go deeper, and politely rejected her.

But Umbridge seemed to have not suffered any setbacks, and turned his head back to his plate as usual. If you don’t know the cause and effect, you might think she had a pleasant conversation with the professors. .Zoe was just about to withdraw her attention, but met Umbridge's gaze directly, and she smiled meaningfully at her.

As soon as Zoe lowered his head, he was patted on the shoulder.A Ravenclaw student was holding a note in his hand. He was definitely not very young. I don’t know if he was a new student. When Zoe turned his head, he trembled first, but he still mustered the courage to speak: "This It's the note that the professor gave you." He pointed in Umbridge's direction.

"Thank you." The boy handed the note to Zoe, obviously relieved, and then ran to the other side of the table. As soon as he sat down, he was surrounded by several people excitedly not knowing what he was talking about.Zoe dared to say that one of the reasons (maybe the only reason) he was willing to be close to him was the joke-like "duel" last night.

"What is this?" Luna took a sip of her drink and asked curiously when she noticed that Zoe's face suddenly collapsed in frustration.

"Who knows, Umbridge asked me to go to her office after dinner." Zoe sighed. She squeezed the note in her hand, with an ominous premonition rising in her heart. She originally thought that as long as she returned to school, she could at least have I was able to get rid of Umbridge for a while, but now it seems unlikely.

"Aren't you going to teach at Professor Snape?" Luna asked.

"That's a good excuse. I'll talk to her." Zoe said. "But I don't usually have to go to Professor Snape this week after school starts...not to mention that this year will definitely be busy."

"Because of OWLs?" Zoe nodded."Yeah, I bet the professors already have a lot of homework waiting for us." After that, she yawned again."Your mental condition is too bad, Zoe." Luna said worriedly.

"If it doesn't work, I might try to boil some medicine to support it." Zoe stood up after taking the last bite, "Don't worry, there will be no side effects, go ahead."

***********

Time passed quickly, and even the history of magic came to an end in a blink of an eye.Most of the students who came out of the classroom were drowsy, because the way Bins, their professor of history of magic taught, was too boring.But what is different today is that drowsiness is accompanied by strong complaints and dissatisfaction. Even in a college like Ravenclaw, which is rich in top students and nerds, most students are still caught off guard by the sudden arrival of a large number of homework.

"Giant Wars, a foot and a half." Padma was a little depressed looking at her notes as she walked, "Don't you think the papers the professors are asking for are getting longer? Professor Flitwick’s homework is not just papers, but also a lot The practice of... so that the history of magic is lucky enough, at least we can quote a lot of literature...Zoe!" She grabbed Zoe so she didn't hit the knight's armor in the corner.

"Padma...? Thank you." Zoe murmured thanks, took a deep breath, and cheered up.

"Are you okay?" Padma looked very suspicious of this. "I will go to the infirmary with you?"

"What? No need, I'm not injured, it's a waste of time... Maybe it's not a waste of time? I can go back there and practice again..." Zoe's self-talk was interrupted by Padma."Even if we need an exam this year, don't you think you are too hard?"

"Don't worry, I have definitely arranged enough rest time, but I haven't adapted it yet." Zoe paused, "Let's go to dinner, I don't want to see Umbridge on an empty stomach."
