Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Yes, I also made this mistake at the beginning. This is the third one I brought out from there. I found that if you want to preserve it completely, you must feed it like a living thing. It needs nutrition to survive. . The effect of blood is the best. I have been relying on blood to preserve it for almost half a year, and it is even a circle larger than when I brought it out at the beginning." Orlando pointed to the circle of runes at the mouth of the bottle. The forced restraint of the text is also very important. After being brought out, it always wants to escape, probably to go through the white door."

"Now I only need to invent a new'sticky spell', complete the fusion of soul and container (body), and achieve an achievement that no one has ever done before! Think about it opening my eyes in front of me and dominating me When its body stands up, speaks and thinks, what an exciting scene is this." Orlando said excitedly.

"It is difficult for me to define whether your actions are criminal." Dumbledore sighed. "I only know that if this soul can choose by itself, it will not be willing to be used as an experimental prop by you."

"If you become the Minister of Magic, maybe you can promulgate a law on the human rights of souls." Orlando mocked him, "but before this law actually appears, I don't have to worry that Aurors will knock on my door. "

"Yes, but I think you will die at home because of a curse before they knock on your door." Dumbledore's face was serious, "Or you don't take it seriously. What?"

"Of course I am afraid of death, Albus. No one is afraid of this." Orlando touched his face. "The duty of the Silent Man is to observe rather than interfere, record rather than alter, keep confidentiality rather than divulge. Before we join the company I have all signed the vows, and the drafting of the vows even has the shadow of the Siegel family. I know the consequences of doing this better than anyone, and I will definitely accelerate death in pain and torture."

"Although it is regrettable that I cannot pass through the halls of the Department of Mysteries again, it does not matter, because I am willing to give everything to chase this temptation. My behavior will not affect future generations, because I am simply There will be no offspring." Orlando picked up the little bottle carefully, "I don’t need to find a woman to give birth to me, and I don’t long for the temperature and love of others. The only thing that matters to me is those that can attract My sparkling idea, I just want to live in my own small world and do my favorite research for the rest of my life."

One hand opened as if trying to grab the bottle, but she caught it empty.Orlando took the bottle back in his arms and left without looking back, and the world was immediately pressed the pause button."It's over, let's go." The real Dumbledore walked over to Zoe and patted her on the shoulder.

**********

"That soul is Max?" When their feet returned to the real ground, Zoe looked at the surface of the sparkling stone basin with expressionless expression."In view of Orlando's serious breach of the oath, the Department of Mysteries will no longer be open to him, and he can't go to the death hall again... I want to say, that should be your mother." Dumbledore said.

"I never knew Grandpa he was such a person. I thought he was a very gentle and considerate person despite his weakness, but if those were true, he really only cares about himself, he doesn't care what he will What kind of shadows do other people’s lives have?" Zoe’s voice was confused, "If he doesn’t care about others at all, why would he take me away? Why would he cry at the picture of Max in the middle of the night? I don’t understand. He has no need to deceive me."

"I think a person has a different idea from a father." Dumbledore said slowly, "I have known him for a long time. Although many of us have different ideas, we can be considered old friends for the time being. Yes. You have seen the words in the meditation basin. He thinks he doesn’t need anyone’s help, so he won’t help anyone. As far as I know, he doesn’t even leave much. Siegel’s old house, if it weren’t for Malfoy’s home, he might have really been disconnected from the world."

"Don't even see Dumbledore with him again?" Zoe asked, and Dumbledore shook his head."At that time I was also very angry, and I didn't want to worry about it anymore. We used to quarrel often. He had a very obvious attitude towards people. He would only make friends with people he thought was worthy of socializing. Once he thought,'No Value', even the dust on the robe is more important than those people."

"But I didn't expect that after decades, we really never met once. It wasn't until after his death that my name was mentioned in the will that I knew he wanted me to be your guardian." Lido refilled a cup of hot chocolate and handed it to Zoe for her to hold it. "I was really shocked at that time. This was the first time he asked me for something, maybe even the first time he asked someone else. He hopes that I can protect you, because I still have some influence."

"If I were to find a name for this'weakness', I would believe that its name is'love'." He sensed Zoe's suspicion hidden under the calm surface, "Otherwise I can't find any better To explain his changes, there is no way to solve your doubts. People can change, Zoe. It is difficult for us to exist only as angels or demons forever. The boundary between good and evil is often blurred."

"But I don't think Max will forgive him." Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. Her Occidental Cerebral technique has been running, blocking Max's possible peeping.Although Zoe hated this woman, he didn't want her to see this scene.

"After all, people are still responsible for their past choices, whether they are good or bad." Dumbledore said, "Is there any problem?"

"So Grandpa used to work in the Department of Mysteries?"

"He was the Director of the Department of Mysteries at the time." Dumbledore saw Zoe's surprised expression, "I don't think he can believe it, isn't it? Such a person is actually a civil servant, but that's the truth. Among many Ministry officials. The selection criteria of the Department of Mysteries have always been strange. Although this department is affiliated to the Ministry of Magic, it is relatively independent. The people who work in it are called silent people. One of their rules is not to disclose work secrets."

"And the fact that some members of the Siegel family entered the Department of Mystery Affairs is an unwritten tradition. According to Orlando, although this is not a mandatory order, they can refuse, but no one will refuse it. A task. Of course, this is until Orlando." Dumbledore said helplessly.

There was a knock on the door, and after receiving a response, Snape walked into Dumbledore's office.Seeing Zoe appear here, Snape frowned."It's a coincidence, we just finished talking." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.

Zoe said goodbye to the two people quickly.Snape stood there for a while before speaking, "You must have someone stop Potter's behavior immediately."

"What happened, Severus?" Dumbledore asked."It doesn't matter if you come in person or talk to Blake, he will kill himself." Snape said rudely. "That idiot thought he was helping the Order of the Phoenix. What the hell did he do? Only then will you not be so brutal!"

"Is it about Harry's Occlumency?" Dumbledore asked, and Snape nodded. "He did make progress, but he chose to let go of restrictions. He wanted to spy on the dark lord's thoughts, but I wonder if the Dark Lord can do the same!"

"Harry does he think so?" To Snape's surprise, Dumbledore chuckled. "Calm down first, Severus. I have a new idea after you say that. "

Chapter 93 Treaty (Part 1)

A silver mist emerged from Hermione's wand, and there was a looming silhouette of a creature inside."Did you see the tail of my patron saint, Zoe!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise, and then fell into thought again. "Although it is easy to get started, every time you want to shape the patron saint's body ', I always feel that something is a little bit worse." Hermione looked at the silver mist floating in the air, and when she reached out to touch it, they would wrap around her palm, spreading and disappearing.

"Because the feelings as fuel are not intense enough." Zoe thought for a while."But I imagined happy things." Hermione said distressedly, and Zoe repeated his conclusions when he was studying with Snape. "You mean I need not only happy memories, but also the ability to The persistent belief that breaks the shackles?"

"This is the first time I summoned a patron saint with an exact shape, like a bird out of its shell, as if a certain part of my heart has become the shape of a patron saint." Zoe frowned and wanted to use it. It was not an easy task to describe the feeling at the time in words. At that time, her spirit seemed to be surrounded by a layer of tulle, and the dazzling silver light tore the tulle to pieces, and then she appeared in front of her. A bird with flapping wings, the silver eyes reflected Zoe's own figure.

"When did you do this?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Uh, sometime last year." Zoe's dodging attitude further aroused Hermione's interest."Is it something that cannot be explained?"

"It's just embarrassing." Zoe sighed. "Didn't we quarrel in the fourth grade?" Hermione looked embarrassed for a moment."It's not what you thought." Zoe explained quickly, "It's what happened after we...well, and reconciled."

"After the reconciliation...Huh?" Hermione's face blushed all of a sudden when she recalled the various things that happened afterwards."That's why I said I would be very embarrassed. I was really happy at the time, as if my heart was desperately oppressed. Even now, as long as I think about that time, I can summon the most powerful patron saint."

"...I wish I hadn't asked you this question." Hermione's gaze averted, "I don't think I will be able to face your patron saint in the future."

"If you don't see it, you can take the opportunity to kiss Siegel with your eyes closed." A laugh came from the side. Zoe was surprised when he saw one of the Weasley twins (Zoe could not recognize it at all. Who are they) appeared next to them.

"Eavesdropping is not a basic polite behavior, Weasley." She looked at him coldly.

"'Eavesdropping is not a basic polite behavior, Weasley'." The red-haired boy laughed forward and backward. "This is a public place. It's a good fun, Siegel. I didn't stretch it. Put your ears into your bedroom to eavesdrop on the private conversations of the girls. If you don’t want to be heard, you should dig a hole to hide all the secrets, instead of putting the treasure map where anyone can get it. local."

He looked at Hermione teasingly again: "It's not enough for me to say you, Hermione. You only told Harry and Ron that you really hurt our friendship deeply, don't you think we are so Isn’t it trustworthy? I’m not a mother, and I don’t think you are ruining the family style, nor will you drive you out of the house with a broom.” He exaggerated his expression of injury.

"No, I actually told Ginny." Hermione pointed out this calmly, "Does the whole world know who I am in love with? Of course I understand what you are, but this What does it matter if you guys make fun of this? I don’t want to be teased when we are in the world with Zoe. We are sticky."

"You really know us. Love is like a burning pyre. The incomprehensible bystander is also the smell of love. It is as indispensable as the firewood." The boy scratched his hair." Is it because spring is here? Even Mrs. Loris started meowing to welcome the new relationship...Of course, we locked it in the broom room in the end."

Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Hey, you can't spill your breath on an innocent cat just because Fred is dating Angelina. Why don't you lock Fred in the broom room?" She pointed to her. Fred, who was practicing the Patronus Mantra with Angelina, had a subtle atmosphere and sense of distance between them.

George stopped smiling, he shrugged: "Do you think I am depressed by this? Or do you think I will be jealous of Fred? He is only dating Angelina occasionally."

"But that will definitely reduce the time you spend together. Suddenly estranged from the inseparable brother, it should be quite uncomfortable in my heart." Hermione said in a brisk tone that was very annoying as if to see everything through."Then you are so wrong. Fred and I will never be separated. We have been together since we were born." There was a little anger in George's tone.

He changed his voice: "Don't talk about Fred. How do you feel about Harry and Ginny?" Even though the transition was rather blunt, Hermione let him succeed."At least Ginny has no plans to break up with Michael Conner yet. Why do you have to let Ginny go with Harry?" She showed a strange look.

"I just think that if my sister's boyfriend wants to be recognized by our family, it will be easier for Harry than that of Michael? And she also said that she has a good impression of Harry." George said indifferently."You have a completely different attitude from Ron. He is totally unacceptable about Ginny's finding a boyfriend."

"After all, Ron is a stupid fool." George laughed. "He doesn't want to think about it. No matter how he doesn't want Ginny, he won't listen to him. He is really single again. And we can't decide. What is she going to do, right?"

"But Harry's attitude towards her has always been simple. You might as well expect Ron and Lavender to have a good result if you expect him to get a better idea.

George looked interested, even if most of it was to catch a new idea that could tease Ron: "Oh, our little brother is starting to sprout?"

Hermione looked at Lavender who was teaming with Ron: "Who knows, Ron may not have realized the feeling in this regard? He is a bit slow, but Lavender has been talking about him a lot recently. They danced together as a dance partner in the fourth grade. She should have some kindness towards him." She coldly rejected George's request to continue the conversation. "You ask Parvati for this question rather than me. It's more useful, after all, my relationship with her is very ordinary."

"It's a pity, I thought I could get more first-hand information, but it's enough for us to have fun for a while." George smiled contentedly, even if Hermione warned him not to interfere without permission, it is difficult to say what he listened to. Go in for a few minutes.

After the conversation is over, the practice should continue.It's just that Zoe feels somewhat uncomfortable, because before leaving, George smiled meaningfully to her and became much more friendly."Why do I always feel that some strange titles were assigned by others without my knowledge?" The corners of her mouth twitched, "Do you think that red hair would treat me like... Mrs. Granger? "Hermione heard her say that, almost choked with saliva, and coughed for a long time.

Maybe it was influenced by what Zoe said before. Zoe didn't know what Hermione thought about later, but her progress was quite obvious. In the end she really summoned her patron saint, even if it took a while. Disappeared, but when the silver otter was spinning around her feet, the surprise in Hermione’s eyes was like starlight, even if she took Zoe’s arm to share the joy, But he didn't want to take his eyes away from her face at all.

"You are much better than me, Hermione." Zoe was heartily happy for her. "You only took a few lessons to complete it." Although she also understood that the process of learning the Patronus Mantra was so tortuous, It's not because of lack of talent.

The result of this course is not bad, several people summoned their patron saint.George and Fred summoned the two raccoons at almost the same moment. Qiu watched fascinatedly as her patron saint of swan spreads its wings in the responsive house. Luna and the rabbit in front of her stared at each other, and from time to time they started playing. Poke a few times.

The whistle sounded and the members gathered happily. The cheerful atmosphere was so strong that even Umbridge’s increasingly domineering attitude did not dispel the joy brought by the patron saint. This is probably the happiest time at this moment. Now, Harry was about to say something as the usual concluding remark, breaking the joy with an exclamation.

"Zoe!" Hermione screamed and rushed up. The others quickly turned and looked at the girl standing at the end. She clutched her head profusely and fell to the ground in pain, as if a little dwarf was carrying a hammer and The nails got into her brain, and she was desperately driving rows of nails.The heart was beating quickly.The sharp pain numbs even the other senses of the body. She feels like she has floated into the void, her consciousness has become blurred, she can't even feel the touch of holding her hair, let alone Hermione who rushes to her. .His body was numb as if he had been electrocuted, and it seemed to be torn to pieces by a monster. For a moment, doubts about whether he was still alive came to his mind.

Chapter 94 Treaty (Part 2)

Hermione rushed to stop Zoe, who was rolling on the ground in pain. The cry of pain seemed to hit her heart. She could feel the shaking of Zoe's body and could only hug her desperately, even though Zoe almost strangled her like a drowning man clutching the driftwood."Hold on a little longer and I will send you to the infirmary immediately..." The girl in her arms looked a little confused. She looked at Hermione in confusion, not knowing if she could recognize her, but both arms burst out from the past. Amazing power never seen before.

"What's the matter!" Hermione blushed and almost couldn't speak."Did she touch something in this room? Doesn't it feel a bit like a fish struggling on the shore?" Having said that, the Weasley brothers hurriedly freed Hermione from Zoe's bondage. Several girls led by Na gathered around Hermione to help her get along.

"Don't just stand, come and help, Mr. Cavalier." Fred pushed Zoe onto Ron, and then blew into his arm with an uncomfortable expression, his hand when he was subduing Zoe. Was scratched.Ron hurriedly stepped forward to catch the girl, with a completely unexpected look.
