Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

Narcissa heard her say hello, followed the voice and looked at it, her face turned not so good for a moment.She knows more inside stories than Draco. Even if Lucius wants to hide something from Draco, Narcissa is not a good woman to deal with. She has asked Lucius why he did that before. Even if Lucius keeps vain and refuses to say the key points, she knows her husband’s character and she can’t guess something.

"...Long time no see, Zoe." Narcissa is an adult after all, even if she encounters such a thing, she can recover earlier than Draco, and then responds in a polite and slightly alienated tone.

"Don't you want to talk to me, Draco?" Zoe asked softly. "Do you hate me already? Or do you think I've done something wrong and don't even want to talk to me?"

"It's not like that!" Draco blurted out seeing the girl's loss.He subconsciously held his left arm, stepped back two steps, and opened his mouth, "I...I just didn't expect to see you here, I thought we would meet at school."

"You lied." Zoe said, "I wrote you so many letters, but you didn't even reply to a single letter. What makes you need to keep your distance from me?"

"I..." Draco struggled, his expression changing.

"Sorry, Zoe." Narcissa grabbed Draco, who closed her mouth as if awakened. "Draco and I have a lot to do, so I won't bother you and you. Friends, you still have to buy robes here, don't waste time."

She nodded to Zoe and pulled Draco to leave.They haven't encountered resistance. Although Harry and the others were surprised at the appearance of Draco and his mother, they were still at a loss.

Seeing that he was about to pass Zoe, Draco just breathed a sigh of relief, but was pulled by the sleeve of his right hand. Zoe seemed to use all his strength to stop him. Draco stopped and she stopped. He stepped forward to force Draco's left hand free from Narcissa's pull, and then grabbed Draco's left arm, unconsciously as if to pinch it into his flesh.

Draco was in pain, his face turned ugly, but Zoe had already taken back his strength.As soon as the pain stopped, Draco turned away from his face and did not look at the sea blue that was overflowing with condemnation and scrutiny, and naturally did not notice the deep concern in Zoe's eyes.

"It has something to do with this." Needless to say, Zoe put his palm on Draco's arm. As long as her guess is correct, Draco's arm has been carved by Voldemort with the Dark Mark of Death Eaters.

"...It's none of your business." Draco said stubbornly, trying to pull his arm out.

"Do you think it's none of my business?" The girl's voice suddenly cooled."Yes, you'd better leave my business alone and go play in the mud with your good friends hand in hand." Draco gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"Okay. Since you said that—" Zoe took a deep breath, then grabbed Draco's hand. "I'll take care of this nosy!"

She dragged the boy forcibly and ran to another street. Draco was so surprised that he couldn't even stop her in time. The others in the room didn't even think that the girl who had been quietly staying aside would do it. Watching the two people go away.

"Hermione, I'll see you at Lihen Bookstore later." Zoe finished speaking to Hermione in a low voice before leaving, and immersed himself wholeheartedly in the act of running away.

Chapter Twenty-Five Bojin-Bok

Zoe just kept his head buried and ran forward, the building next to him quickly retreated, and the pebble path under his feet stretched forward, leading to the unknown.At first she could still hear the panic screams of the people she had left behind, but as she dragged Draco around in the alley, these voices gradually became distant, and finally could not be heard at all.

When they stopped in the center of a narrow path, there were dirty black brick walls on both sides, and rubbish everywhere on the ground. The sun couldn't get in, and the atmosphere suddenly became dark and gloomy.Zoe did this on a temporary basis, and he didn't know where they went.As soon as she stopped, her head buzzed suddenly, and she felt tired, rushing up like a tide, staggering a few steps and almost falling, and quickly supported the wall next to her.

"Let's take a break." Draco just breathed a little faster, and he looked at the girl half a step ahead in a complicated mood.

"It's cunning, I'm the only one to be so tired." Zoe gasped fiercely and said mockingly.Her hands and feet were already soft, and she didn't sit down on the ground relying on the wall as support.Before rushing forward, the physical exertion was much greater than expected.

"...I practice according to Meg's method every year." Draco shrugged and was finally willing to step forward to help her smooth the air. "You are the one. You have never ran like this before. Don't Be strong."

"I don't care about you." Zoe finally got his breath, stood straighter, and rolled his eyes at Draco.

"Leave here first." Draco looked around, frowning and said, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, I can go by myself. I don't need someone who ignores me the whole holiday to help me." Zoe sarcastically mocked him like this, although his tone sounded a little softened.

Draco stopped talking, just followed her in silence.As soon as the two of them left the unmanned alley, they came to a place like an intersection. There were several routes in different directions from the center. At the end of the fork, there was a wood with insect-eaten traces inserted on it. Pinned to an old wooden sign with the crooked word "Knock Down Alley" on it.

"Even here," Zoe muttered to himself.No wizard will underestimate this street. This street is completely different from the adjacent Diagon Alley. Here you must always be vigilant, because it is very likely that when you pass a certain doorway, you will be hidden in The dark wizard inside was the target of the attack.Those who haunt here are all suspicious people with sneaky figures. The shops here always sell weird, rare, and terrifying props and materials, just like a black market that is allowed to exist.

Generally speaking, apart from being unsuitable for underage wizards, the security during the day is not as bad as at night. As long as you pay more attention to your surroundings, you don't have to worry too much about your life.But the current situation is tense. Some bad-minded wizards have timed their time and just want to catch the target to gain their own benefits. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether one more person dies or one less person dies.

Draco took a few steps forward. He had been to Knockoff Alley and knew how to go to the shop he was going to. He chose the direction. He didn't explain to Zoe, he went there.Zoe followed behind him, holding a magic wand in his pocket.

They passed through a zigzag alley again, and a large house appeared on the right. The sign read "Bojin-Bok". It seemed to be the largest and most conspicuous of the surrounding buildings.Zoe knows this shop, which specializes in selling items related to black magic, or some rare magic items with special effects. In the past, Lucius bought magic items for her, he also bought things in this shop.

"Actually, I should thank you, Zoe." Draco finally said. "I wanted to find time to avoid my mother and go to Knockoff Alley to do some business first. Then I don't have to worry about being caught by me. Mom noticed, I don't want her to know what I think."

"Then what do you want to do when you come here?" Zoe asked suspiciously.

"I can't tell you that." The boy finished coldly, and stepped forward and pushed open the Bogin-Bock store.

The sound of jingle bells rang, and the environment in the shop is much brighter than the outside. There are items with weird patterns on the shelves, and each item is a magic item. When there is no excitation, their surface is just floating. magic.

There was no one behind the counter, but there was a rattle on the surface of the counter.Draco tidied his robes to make himself look more majestic, and went forward, gritted his teeth and rang the bell.

"Zoe, don't get in the way of me." He said seriously. "Don't ask me what I want to do. I won't tell you."

The door of the room behind the counter opened silently, and a man walked out of it. He must have been bent over for a long time, even when he wanted to straighten up, he had to hunch back.

There was a sleek smile on the man's face that most profiteers would have: "Oh, Master Malfoy, it's been a long time. Didn't your father come today?" His voice was light and smooth when he spoke.

"I am the one looking for you today." Draco said briefly. "Did you receive the note I wrote to you earlier?"

"Of course I received it, but I don't quite understand the meaning of some of the above words. I'm at a loss." The man still had a smile on his face, and his surface was respectful.But Zoe could hear that when he heard that the trade partner was Draco, his attitude became lighter.

The man walked to the counter and stood. He turned his head and noticed Zoe who was standing on the side. He was stunned: "I haven't seen you before. I am Karaktakus Bok. Everyone calls me Bokin. "He could see that Zoe had come with Draco, and the atmosphere between the two was weird, but not strangers.

Based on the snobbery that the Malfoy family has always shown, they never take the initiative to make friends with people who are not rich or powerful, or who are unable to bring benefits to themselves. Even if Mr. Borkin doesn’t know Zoe, his instinct tells him that as long as he develops Well, the girl can become a high-quality customer.

"Zoe Siegel," Zoe replied, and Mr. Borkin's eyes almost narrowed into two slits when he heard the name.He thought for a moment and understood why the girl would come with Draco. The friendship between the two families was not a secret in the entire magical world.

"Leave her alone," Draco said impatiently. "I said in my letter before, how can I fix that thing?"

"You know, Master Malfoy. To repair any props, you must first know the reason for the damage." Mr. Borkin said slyly, "Why do you want to fix that ("Don't name that thing!" )...What about that thing?"

"It's none of your business, you just tell me how to fix it, don't want to fool me!" Draco said dissatisfied.

"I only know that the thing must be grouped to be useful, and only one is meaningless." Mr. Borkin thought for a while, "You can bring that thing to the store and show me it, as long as you spend a little time and Kanon, I can fix it for you."

"You don't need to care about it." Draco shifted his gaze to the shelf on the side. "You can make a little money as long as you tell me how to fix it. But if you play tricks, I will make you pay a heavy price. ."

He sneered and rolled up his left sleeve, revealing the scorched black mark on it.Mr. Borkin's eyes were straight, and he stared tremblingly at the skull and snake on Draco's arm. He couldn't understand the meaning of this mark.

"Master Malfoy... sir... you don't have to be like this..." He shivered.Draco naturally noticed Mr. Borkin's fear, he thought about it and added a new weight."You know Fenrir Greyback, he often comes to my house as a guest. He also cares about this issue that I am concerned about. If you can't do it well-how about becoming a smelly werewolf in the second half of your life? "Mr. Bokin desperately shook his head, becoming a werewolf is no different from "death penalty" in some respects.

"I must know everything..." Mr. Borkin sighed and removed a piece of parchment, slashed something on it with a quill pen, and finally handed it to Draco.The latter took the parchment carefully and put it in his arms.He looked at the girl standing aside from the corner of his sight, and after seeing that she didn't want to rush to grab the parchment, he secretly sighed and sighed.

"You have to keep that thing in the letter." Draco looked at Mr. Borkin before he left. "Or you want to get in touch with the werewolves." Mr. Borkin bowed deeply until the door bell rang. It sounded, as if to put his nose on the shoe upper.

"So you don't intend to tell me a word?" Zoe asked slowly after leaving Bojin-Bok.

"If you want to know, why didn't you rush to stop me?" Draco asked back, and he sighed after seeing the girl frowning regretfully. "Thank you."

"I don't need it." Zoe said stubbornly."But I still want to say that. You didn't force me to tell the truth because you believed me." Draco twitched at the corner of his mouth, and a strong sense of powerlessness came to his mind again.

"I've been looking for opportunities before." Zoe said softly, and she stepped forward to forcibly confine Draco's head, keeping her eyes straight against his. "...I'm good at Occlumency." Laco broke away from the girl's hand and stepped back."I know you will definitely do this, Zoe. I can't guard against seductive thoughts."

Chapter 26. Dialogue Failure

"The situation is so serious that you need to keep secrets, Draco?" Zoe looked at him seriously. "Or are you going to tell me that you support Voldemort and are willing to do things for him?"

"If you want to think so, think so, it's good for both of us." Draco's calm tone angered the girl.

"How long do you think I have known you?" Zoe lowered his voice. "You don't want to do this at all. You are forced, aren't you! If you are threatened by Voldemort, just go to Dumbledore. Tell him everything, he can protect you, as well as Mr. Lucius and Mrs. Narcissa..."
