Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"She is very important to me," Hermione repeated, but it made Rosamond, who was already angry, even more angry.

"What about my business? My! How much time do you think you have left? If you don't plan to do it seriously, just say it earlier, don't delay me, can you—" She opened her eyes wide in surprise, no A few steps back consciously.

"Huh? Zo, Zoe!" Hermione turned her head, only to find Zoe standing behind her. She looked tired. She just walked a few steps, but became very uncomfortable because she had not been active for a long time.

And what changed Rosamond’s face was her cold vision and unabashed hostility. Even Hermione felt that such Zoe had become a little strange, and the feeling of looking down from the inside to the outside made people feel Unwell.

"Why did you get off the bed? Go home!" Hermione worriedly tried to hold her, but was caught.Hermione couldn't help exclaiming. As soon as Zoe grabbed her hand, he took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and put his hand on Hermione's waist, making what a fool could see Intimacy posture.

"You, you are..." Rosamond thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered who Zoe was. They had an unpleasant relationship once.

"Rosamond Ferguson?" To Hermione's expectation, she saw that Zoe was annoyed now, but Zoe did not immediately attack, "Zoe Siegel, it's nice to meet you." She actually returned Smiling and shook hands with the vigilant Rosamond.

Rosamond twitched her mouth, she didn't see how happy this person was to know herself, the cold blue eyes before it almost froze her."Are you friends with Hermione?" Zoe asked, regardless of Hermione's uncomfortable look in his arms.

"It's none of your business." Rosamund's first impression of her was really terrible, and the tone of her speech was a bit gunpowder. "Do you even care about other people making friends?"

"Of course not, but only if you don't intend to do something that makes me angry." Zoe's tone threatened, "I don't know why you have to stick to Hermione, but if you intend to break through my patience Limit, that won't be a good end."

"I stick to her? She came to find me!" Rosamond said, hugging her arms, "I want to know what will happen to me. Do you think this can threaten me? I'm not afraid at all!" Besides, are you Hermione’s mother? You have too much control!"

"Do you want to know our relationship?" Zoe smiled, his smile full of charm, and there was slyness hidden in the depths.She lifted Hermione's chin in front of Rosamond, and the two people who had been close together even overlapped, and the distance became zero.

Zoe was in a bad mood and kissed hard.Hermione naturally received the girl’s jealousy, and she sighed helplessly. She also knew that the reason for Zoe’s behavior was Hermione herself. She had to indulge her biting her lip, and she had to support her so that she would not be the whole Coming up, the last two wrestled together.

"How?" When the two separated, Zoe looked at Rosamond who was dumbfounded with pride. The other party obviously didn't expect Zoe to do this suddenly, and his eyes were about to fall off with his open mouth, "Now you know What is our relationship?" Zoe said defiantly.

"...Hermione, let's talk about it, we'll see you tomorrow." Rosamond was silent for a full minute before saying to Hermione as if nothing had happened, but she probably didn't notice her uncomfortableness. look.

"Look at what you did." After Rosamond disappeared, Hermione pinched Zoe's nose in anger, "You feel so smooth, I will see Rosa tomorrow!"

"Why do you want to meet her when I'm like this!" Zoe complained dissatisfied, but Hermione's attitude slightly relieved her anxiety, at least when she kissed Hermione in front of Rosamond, Hermione There is no rejection or disgust.

"Stop it, it's an agreement, I have to keep it." Hermione helped her back to the infirmary. "When did you get there?"

"truth?"

Hermione gave her a blank look. "What do you think?"

"Well, from the beginning." She couldn't help rushing out because of the conversation that got more and more awkward.

"Oh, I don't want to ask you what messy things you are thinking about. Although I can't explain it yet, I will confess to you when I finish this thing." Hermione carefully guided her step by step." I hope before Madam Pomfrey sees you get out of bed without permission—"

"Zoe, let's drink this medicine next..." The door of another room was pushed open, and Madam Pomfrey was holding the medicine. As soon as she raised her head, she saw two girls supporting her. There was an empty bed in front of her. .

"——Hurry back to bed."

Chapter 52 The Symbol of Collapse (Part 1)

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Pomfrey who had repeatedly told him ("Come to me once a week for three weeks.") Zoe left the infirmary.There were few students near the corridor, but they were all wearing thick cloaks. The temperature became lower than when she was in the hospital. More than that, she also saw Halloween decorations that she had forgotten to untie in several places, like time. The remnants of leaving them there.

During the time she was hospitalized, she missed Halloween. Fortunately, a few friends sneaked out to see her halfway through and secretly brought her something to eat.Since she was the only patient in the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey was also willing to close one eye and treat this small banquet as nonexistent.

Just thinking of someone, she really cared a little."Padma!" When she came down the stairs, she met the person she was thinking about. Padma seemed very absent-minded. She was walking around unconsciously while holding the textbook. Zoe called her several times in a row. no respond.This makes Zoe more certain of his guess.

She ran over quickly and patted Padma on the shoulder. The other person's body was shocked. When she turned her head, she still had a nervous look on her face. Only after seeing Zoe clearly did she barely smile again.

"You are discharged, Zoe!" She cheered up and smiled and congratulated.

"I hope it didn't delay you, is it going to class?" Zoe walked beside her.

Padma shook her head: "It's okay, I just finished class." She glanced blankly at the portrait next to her, and sighed unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Zoe pulled her so that Padma wouldn't run into other students rushing over from the other side. They were probably only in the first grade, and they were also very interested in this castle, thinking all day. Expedition, "You better treat your eyes as a snack, and let your eyes perform their functions!" She exclaimed, and the students quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, wondering if they listened.

"What are you worried about?" Zoe frowned. She wanted to say a few words to Padma, but now it seems that it is better to go straight to the topic, "You have always been like this lately, and you can see it at first sight."

"...Actually because of my parents, they want my sister and I to drop out of school and move to a safer place with them." Padma sighed, "You know, the world outside is not very safe these days, people are dying everywhere. Many students have left Hogwarts because of the death or disappearance of their families-they usually mean the same thing. Parents hope that our family can be together, make early plans, and take advantage of the time when things are still safe."

"Then you should stay in school even more. There is Dumbledore here, and this is a school protected by many complex and ancient magics. If you leave, it will be more dangerous."

"My sister and I think so too. She and dad quarreled, but my dad is as stubborn as her. They are still in a stalemate." Padma was very distressed. "Now they are waiting for my conclusion."

"Then what do you think?" Zoe asked.

"I want to stay in Hogwarts. Except for safety considerations, I don't want to waste my studies. We are already in the sixth grade. After we drop out of school, we cannot receive systematic teaching. Self-study is not so easy; even if we have been suspended, Who knows when I can come back? Instead of running away, stay in the castle." Although the conclusion was reached, Padma did not relax.

"Then what can't you figure out?"

"I don't want my parents to be scared for us, just as they wouldn't want us to do it. Maybe we are safe in the castle, but what about them? Always be careful and scared. I can't stop myself from thinking about the worst. The ending of, if we never see again..." Padma sobbed, "Then I might as well go with them at the beginning, at least..."

"Don't think so." Zoe racked his brains, trying to find a way to calm Padma's mood. "If you want to leave with them with such a mood, they won't be happy. No parents will hope. Your children die together with yourself, they will want you two sisters to live more than die together."

"Yeah... I'm sorry, I'm a bit gaffe." Padma wiped her tears and felt a little more relaxed. "It's a lot better to say it. I shouldn't have thought so much. I'm just worrying about it. It's definitely not going to happen Right?"

"Of course." Zoe nodded. Although her assessment of the war in her heart is not as optimistic as she said, she has become very concerned about some of the things after seeing Max's memory. , Mainly focused on Voldemort related parts.Even though Dumbledore’s existence is the greatest comfort, is it really enough to rely on him?

After Padma was in good mood, the two chatted casually, all the way back to the Ravenclaw Tower. Zoe was about to knock on the wooden door in front of him, but the door opened by himself, and he walked out from the inside talking and laughing. Junior students.

"Yeah!" Zoe backed away, trying to let them go first. One of the Ravenclaw students screamed in surprise, "You, hello! Do you remember me?" In order to show his sense of existence, this little The tall girl kept waving at her.

"You are..." Really had an impression of this face, Zoe recalled, "Is that the freshman who fell behind before?" The other party nodded hurriedly, and his face flushed with joy because Zoe recognized her.

Several of her friends didn’t know Zoe, but they all had an impression of the gleaming prefect badge on Zoe’s robe. One of the boys hurriedly stuffed something he was holding into his pocket and had to wear it. It seems even more suspicious to act carelessly.

"You actually went to Ravenclaw." Zoe was also surprised, she just said casually amused.

"After being brought into the castle by Professor Snape, I had a separate sorting ceremony. It said that I had better go to Gryffindor. I didn’t want to. After discussing it with it for a long time as you said, it was finally willing. Relax." The girl smiled shyly.

"You don't have to go to Ravenclaw, everyone has his talents, you should go to Gryffindor." Zoe frowned, and Padma stared at them with interest.

When Zoe said so, the girl seemed a little lost."I'll work hard, I tried hard to learn!" She shouted so as not to make Zoe look down on herself.

"Flight lessons are fun, but a little difficult... I went to watch the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin, it was great! I used to like to watch football games with my dad!" The girl squeezed uncomfortably. Knuckles of his own, "But they don't accept first-year registration, and they all say they can register for the Quidditch team at the earliest next year.

Her youthful attitude made Zoe want to laugh, but also very happy."Last time I forgot to ask, can you tell me your name?" Zoe suddenly thought after waiting for her to say a lot (because of the nervousness and disorder when speaking), "I am Zoe Segal."

"Ke, Cora, Cora Gibson!" Zoe shook hands with her, after which Cora looked like a stranger.

"Enjoy the next seven years, Cora—may I call you that?" Cora shook his head as if to throw it out of his neck, "You can also call my name directly. I hope you can find your dream path here too."

Cora and his party are obviously going to class, they can't stand here and chat all the time.Before leaving, Zoe stopped them.

"Almost all the items sold in the Weasley Brothers Magic Shop are on the banned list. If caught, they will be confined." She smiled and looked at the sweaty boy, "not as an example."
