Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Hey! Don't call me that!" Harry blushed and scratched his head, shouting uncomfortably. "The Daily Prophet doesn't understand the truth at all. They just write about it to get the eyeballs. I don't want to After I returned to school, I was pointed and pointed, and I finally got used to them putting me aside."

"But eight or nine are not ten, right?" Zoe was very happy to see Harry grinning bitterly, but this time it was just a joke from the sidelines rather than trying to see him embarrassed, "You are brave in the Department of Mysteries I have fought in the land. I read it in the newspapers. The prophecy pointed out that only you can get us out of the mysterious people. Since we can't get out of the famous facts, why not be more calm?"

Harry gradually relaxed a little, and actually complained in front of Zoe: "This reputation is like a doll placed behind the window. Everyone who walks by has to comment. I want to be famous, early There are countless opportunities in the first grade. To be honest, I hate the sight of those people. It’s been like this from a long time ago, even if my name and profile picture have improved by one level now."

"I think I can still understand a little bit about your current mood." Zoe said in a good mood. "Some people can't live without listening to other people's privacy."

Dumbledore gazed happily at the conversation between the two, standing aside just touching his beard.

"Does Dumbledore want to find you too?" Zoe asked."How do you know?" Harry looked at her strangely.

"Because he also has something to look for me. And you can never run to Hermione's house alone, and you happen to collide with Dumbledore, it's only possible that he brought you Apparition over here." Zoe shrugged , "I'm not a fool."

"Well, yes. Professor Dumbledore wrote to me a few weeks ago telling me that he would come to my uncle's house to find me this evening, but I wasted a little time there." Harry said vaguely, telling the girl because It was a shame to think that Dumbledore might not come to him to slow the trip.

"Your uncle's house... did they embarrass you?" Zoe said, "I heard Hermione say that she said your uncle and aunt may be the most puzzling person in the world, and she doesn't like them." Yi actually paid attention to him to some extent (even though the previous attention was based entirely on negative meaning) and Harry was taken aback again.

"Uncle Vernon would not be happy to have a wizard in the house even if he ate the tablecloths in the house." Harry thought of the fearful eyes of the family when Dumbledore appeared, and it was funny. "They dare not embarrass me, even if they I must find trouble with me, I just need to hide to Sirius."

"Harry, I need to remind you that living with Sirius may be a joyful thing, but you must live in that house for at least two weeks each year until you reach adulthood to ensure that the protection spell does not expire." Dumbledore spoke, and Harry nodded.

Zoe remembered that the three had been standing in the hallway for a while, and quickly led them into the living room.

"Where's Hermione? Why didn't I see her?" Harry asked curiously, with hot tea in his hand. He looked around unconsciously, and didn't notice that Zoe became subtle after hearing this. expression.

"She's still upstairs. A lot of things happened today, and I want her to rest." If it weren't for thinking that Dumbledore would come tonight, Zoe would have chosen to hug Hermione and sleep. It's not dragging a tired body around.

"I also heard about what happened at noon. You two are brave and doing a good job, but remember not to be strong." Dumbledore showed praise in his eyes, and Zoe was not surprised that he would learn the news. , After all, he was Albus Dumbledore, and it was even more strange that no news reached his ears.

"What are you talking about?" Harry was confused. Zoe did not tell him the truth in accordance with the agreement with Scrimgeour. He just mentioned the attack by the dementor. Harry frowned and sighed. .

"If I can, I hope Miss Granger can also come down. I need to explain to her about something." Dumbledore said.Zoe nodded, and was about to go upstairs to call Hermione, but was stopped before two steps.

"What's wrong with your waist?" Zoe blinked, and didn't realize what Dumbledore was saying, but when the wandering thought returned to her brain, she immediately conditioned and held her own. waist.

"Nothing!" Zoe tried to restrain the tremor in her tone. "I hit the edge of the table when I was passing by the living room. It was a little bit painful." She noticed that Dumbledore pulled out his wand, as if planning to do her a little favor. He waved his hand, "It's okay, Dumbledore. Don't bother you." He rushed up the stairs with a breath of escape.

*********

"Good evening, Miss Granger." Dumbledore gently greeted the girl who was coming here, and the girl hurriedly stopped yawning halfway, and greeted with a smile."Good evening, Professor Dumbledore."

She walked forward again and saw Harry on the other side of the sofa with a surprised look: "Oh, Harry! Why are you at my house?" She ran over and gave Harry a hug.

"I came with Professor Dumbledore." Harry said happily.Zoe rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. He just sat down between Harry and Hermione, moving very naturally, as if she should be sitting here.

Hermione blinked, her eyes full of smiles, and then she held Zoe's hand tightly.Harry coughed awkwardly, eyes wandering, not knowing where to put it, and moved his butt to the corner, away from the two of them.

"Professor, I heard that you are also looking for something with me." Hermione probed.

"Yes, it's about whether you two will stay or leave during the next holiday..." Dumbledore habitually stretched out his right hand, and Zoe's eyes became serious in an instant."Dumbledore, what's the matter with your hand?" Hermione also looked at the same place in amazement, except that Harry, who had seen it before, looked unchanged.

The right hand became like a scorched corpse, and the entire palm and part of the arm became scorched and withered, completely unlike the posture that a human hand should have, but like a dead branch with a wrong arm.

Zoe ran up to Dumbledore and carefully touched the hand, which felt rough."This is the injury caused by the very vicious black magic... What happened during the time we didn't meet!" Zoe swallowed the sentence that made her most unwilling, even though she could see the cause. The cause of the injury, she didn't know what kind of spell to cure it, or to prepare a medicine that could heal the injury.

"This is a thrilling story, Zoe. But it is not yet time to tell it." Dumbledore shook his sleeves. Although his tone was relaxed, Zoe knew that as long as he didn't want to say it. , No matter how persecuted it will not work.

If she could be more willful, it would definitely trouble Dumbledore, but willfulness can sometimes be turned into initiative, which is not all bad."...What can I do for me?" Zoe asked softly after a long silence. She still couldn't do that after all, even if she just wanted to care about Dumbledore.

"I may have to trouble Severus more when I go back, and you help him also help me." Dumbledore said, "but thank you for your concern, Zoe."

Chapter 14 The Visiting Dumbledore (Part 2)

"Let’s go back to the topic just now." Dumbledore put his hands in his sleeves again and put both hands on his knees. "After that happened at noon today, I don’t have to repeat the current situation with you. How dangerous. Voldemort has a wealth of experience in creating chaos. He knows exactly how to plant fear in people’s hearts. He has already included those old friends in the past, plus this new addition Those, he allows these guys to act recklessly, he wants to make people fall into greater panic, that is one of the foundations to ensure that his rule can be maintained."

"You will definitely think that the Ministry of Magic has not played their due role." He said with certainty. Although the three of them didn't do anything, they all acquiesced to this. "It's not strange at all, is it? They all focused on us in 1988, ignoring the approaching darkness. This was a great opportunity for Voldemort. He did the same, trying to kill or incorporate senior officials of the Ministry of Magic as soon as he showed up. The news of Ms. Ens’s death is sad news, but in fact she is far more than the victim."

"Minister Scrimgeour did not disclose more details." Zoe said.

"Don't blame him, no one would want to hear that the newly appointed Minister of Magic was attacked on his own turf. The prisoner is still his subordinate." Dumbledore held the teacup with his left hand, and his right hand was not very useful. , "Can you have another cup? Miss Granger." Hermione poured another cup of tea for him, but was obviously lost because of the news.

"You mean the new minister was attacked? At the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked in surprise, and Dumbledore nodded.

"Most of the news in the "Daily Prophet" is catching up on the wind. Although there are some facts, it is difficult to report the things that the Ministry of Magic really does not want to spread and cause disorder." Dumbledore said. Government intervention is never empty talk, and Scrimgeour and his men will not want people to learn that Voldemort almost infiltrated him."

"But why did he do this?" Hermione asked. "Even if they kill Rufus Scrimgeour, there will be a new minister in office! Why not use Imperius to control him?"

"I guess it’s because they couldn’t control Rufus. He was also famous when he was an Auror. He hit a lot of criminals. He is a man with a strong character. Such a determined person will not be taken away. The curse is easy to control, just like Harry in the fourth grade, didn't you resist Barty's Imperius curse at that time?" Harry stroked his nose uncomfortably.

"In terms of Rufus's character, it is impossible for him to compromise or make a deal with Voldemort, and the Imperius Curse is not effective. It is better to kill him first and then replace him as a puppet by someone he can manipulate." Deng Bridow paused, "It happens that your parents are away from home. It is not safe to just keep the two of you in the house, so I hope you will go to the shanty for the rest of your vacation. There are perfect protection measures there, and if something goes wrong. We can react immediately."

Hermione didn't mind, because she had lived in the shabby house before and got along well with the Weasley family. Although the house was crowded and narrow, the atmosphere was warm, and she liked it very much.But she just looked at Zoe for a moment. As expected, the girl showed a very resisting expression.

"Dumbledore, I don't want to go." Zoe frowned, she was twelve minutes skeptical of the direction of a strange place.

"I can't leave you alone, Zoe." Dumbledore looked at her. "You can't stay at Miss Granger's house. It's not safe; you can't stay at Hogwarts. It's still a holiday, plus I rarely stay at school for the rest of the time; or are you going to Malfoy’s for a vacation? The'guests' there will not welcome you.

Zoe bit his lip before squeezing out a word for a long time: "...Then I can go back to Siegel's old house."

"That's not safe, Zoe. I think the coordinates of the house have been exposed to Voldemort, by someone you and I are both familiar with. He can go in anytime he wants." Hermione stared strangely. Looking at Zoe, although she didn't say anything, she could see that she was confused about this matter.

"...Do I have to go?" Zoe asked sadly.

"Actually it's not bad at all, Zoe, I promise you will like it." Hermione patted her on the back and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "I'm here, it's okay."

"I think it's impossible for Voldemort to waste time on two insignificant people." Zoe complained. "Isn't the person he's looking for our Mr. Savior?" Harry shrugged helplessly.

"You are not a small person. For Voldemort, your meaning is similar to Harry in a sense, and both are unique." Dumbledore said calmly, and Zoe understood what he meant. It really matters. It's not who I am, but the lonely soul in my body.

"I don't know that the devil still has a heart." Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled."Regardless of whether it is the mind or obsession that manipulates the mood, leaving you alone is very dangerous."

"...Well, I won't trouble you, Dumbledore." Nodding reluctantly, Zoe sighed, "Is just coming over today to take us away?"

"There's one more thing, and I want to ask Harry, but I still have to come one by one." Dumbledore looked up at the clock, "He should be here too."

The knock on the door sounded as hard as Dumbledore had said, and they got up and returned to the hallway.The moment he opened the door, Harry gave a pleasant smile: "Sirius?!" The handsome-faced man was also in a black robe. He laughed and patted Harry on the shoulder without concealing his joy. .

"I'm here to take Hermione to the hut," he said."Aren't we together?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Because I need the two of you to accompany me to a place, and when it's over, I'll take you safely to the shanty." Dumbledore said, "Can you take this child directly to the destination, Sirius. Remember to be safe." "Sirius waved his hand indifferently."Come on, Hermione. Don't let go of my arm, I'll show you the apparition first."

Hermione looked at him in surprise, and then gave an excited smile: "Great! I wanted to try it a long time ago, but we haven't learned this spell yet, and we have to wait until we are adults to take the test."

"When you really learn it, you will understand that it is more comfortable to walk on the ground on two legs." Sirius laughed, because Harry nodded in agreement after hearing this sentence, "Of course, when he is on his way. It seems very convenient."

"Then I'll be waiting for you in the hut." Hermione grabbed Sirius' arm after speaking, as if the surrounding environment was distorted for a moment, and the two disappeared in place with a swish.

"Where are we going?" Zoe reluctantly retracted his gaze and looked at Dumbledore.Harry had the same question.
