Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

The speaker was a young child with a childish face that looked no more than seven or eight years old, but her tone of voice was very mature when she spoke. She leaned against the roots of the big tree that was still standing on the hill after restoration. The tone rarely reveals a bit of helplessness.

"It doesn't matter, at least I have won what I deserve." Zoe also stood on the hill, and she looked at the space in front of her. The depressed, deep stone room completely disappeared, and the world was covered by soft grass and bright. The sky was wrapped, the clear boundaries of the past disappeared, and the calm wind was blowing.

"No, you didn't." Max held that childish face, and since she became like this, she always put on an unhappy expression, "I am here to prove that you didn't take it. To my full strength, so I will continue to exist here."

"That thing didn't belong to me at all, I'm not rare." Zoe raised her eyebrows and looked down at Max from top to bottom. She finally had a sense of victory, which made her very proud.

"This is the price, regardless of you or me, the loser will pay." Max said, "This is the rule, but you didn't follow it."

"Then I tell you, the winner writes the rules, and this is the truth." Zoe did not let go. "Since I decided not to, you, the loser, can only accept it." She also deliberately put the word "loser" The pronunciation is very heavy.

Max actually choked, but she could see that she hated the word very much: "If you are softened by those ridiculous misunderstandings in your memory, you will regret it one day. I cannot understand you and Professor Dumbledore. I always think of others for the good. I feel that this world is full of love and forgiveness. I only compromised for the normal conduct of the experiment. Under the circumstances, I must let you live."

"I don't know what you misunderstood. Do you think I would cry and call you'mother'? A touching goodbye between mother and daughter?" Zoe choked back, admitting that the secret thoughts in his heart are better Kill her, "Of course I left you because you are still useful, and I still have many things for you to answer."

"Why should I tell you?" Max looked at her coldly.

"Because you are my'trophies' now. Since you want to follow the rules so much, don't want to defy me, you loser." Zoe said triumphantly, even if Max glanced at him with cold eyes, she didn't. Stop provocation.

If she used to deliberately alienate Max, then now that the other party has lost the threat, she doesn’t need to be overly vigilant, and only with this person, she can’t restrain the turbulent rebellion in her heart, and she doesn’t want to keep it. Polite, just want to vent your waywardness.

"...What do you want to know." Max was silent for a short while before returning to his calm expression again, as if he had made up his mind not to respond to this naive provocation.

"Horcrux." Zoe looked at her. "Tell me everything you know."

"The Horcrux, as the name suggests, is the container that attaches to the soul. It splits the soul and attaches it to the artifact through a special spell." Max said, "A wizard with a Horcrux will not really die even if he dies and visits. , They only need to reshape their bodies to live forever."

"But what you want to ask is not such a theoretical thing. What you want to ask me is something related to Tom." Zoe nodded.

"Tom did get rid of death by making Horcruxes. As long as there is a Horcrux in this world, he can still come back here." Max chuckled, "As far as I know, he made more than one Horcrux. , What a suspicious man."

"What are they all? Where are they?" Zoe asked.

"Why, busy to inform Professor Dumbledore?" Max said, "Do you think he will tell me everything? You look down on Tom too, he will never completely trust a person, if you really want to have Such a candidate will only be himself."

"But I know one of them. Once there was a stupid man who tried to steal it... No, he has succeeded, at least that Horcrux was indeed sent to other places. I don't know where it is now." Max Thoughtfully, "After being found betrayed, the Black man committed suicide. Tom was really mad at the time."

"In addition to the locket, I also know two of the Horcruxes. One of them is Tom’s diary, which contains a arrogant honor student soul; there is another, if Tom deliberately made it, I have to It is said that he is very creative and very concealed. If it were not because I was just a soul, it would be difficult to detect the abnormality."

"Stop it, hurry up," Zoe urged impatiently.

"That boy." Max held his chin in amusement. "The name is Harry Potter."

Zoe pleased Max with a shocked expression."Yes, creatures can be made into Horcruxes, but they are not stable and riskier... Haven't you been curious? The Potter family has hardly ever seen a dark wizard, they are a very decent and boring family, I In the well-known history, there has never been any Potter recorded as a snake-like voice, including his parents. Such a boy born in a "clean" family is actually a snake-like voice?"

"I'm a snake-like voice too." Zoe said.

"That's because I'm a snake-like voice. This talent can easily be passed down in the blood, let alone I deliberately created you." Max said, "Tom will be more patient with me than ordinary people, also because These similarities are very rare. I also thought that Harry Potter’s snake-talking voice belongs to the first generation, but the possibility is very small and not enough to persuade me to ignore the anomaly seen in him. I can feel different soul breaths in this boy's body. It is familiar and belongs to Tom's soul, but it is very broken, obviously not like you and me."

"Does that mean that Voldemort will not die as long as Harry is still alive in the world?" Zoe asked incredulously, and Max nodded affirming her statement.

"This is ridiculous!" Zoe bit her lip. She wanted to think of other solutions, but couldn't find them. "What about other solutions?" Max shook his head simply.

"Moreover, I think Professor Dumbledore must also know about it." Max dropped another bomb. "I dare say that his purpose of raising that boy is exactly the same." Zoe remembered the beginning of this year in a flash. , Dumbledore and Harry got closer and privately. According to Hermione, Dumbledore was teaching Harry.

"Dumbledore will not let others go to death for no reason." Zoe murmured, "I'll go to him and ask."

**********

But the calculation fell through the next day, and Dumbledore did not appear in the auditorium at breakfast.This happens from time to time during this period. The chairperson of the faculty chair is empty, and other professors never explain. They just do their own things while eating. When Dumbledore is not at school, the vice-principal’s Professor McGonagall takes care of the affairs.

If this were the case, Zoe wouldn’t have to be so nervous. The problem was that Dumbledore was not the only "missing" person, and Harry was also missing. It is said that Dumbledore had something to look for. He rushed over after receiving the slip until the first He didn't show his face the next morning.

With things hidden in his mind, Zoe's state in class has become fluctuating.Since Harry was not there, and one person was missing to share the pressure, Slughorn's behavior that always came to her and Hermione became less happy.

"The mucus of the tree monkey frog, Zoe!" Hermione warned in a low voice, pushing the vial towards Zoe without a trace. "Mucous!" She stabbed Zoe in the waist with her elbow and turned her head back. Staring nervously at his cauldron.

Zoe stirred the lavender liquid in the cauldron unconsciously, and she was still thinking about the whereabouts of Dumbledore and Harry.Slughorn's chubby body leaned over here, and he squinted at the crucible between them.

He was about to make a fuss about their medicines, but suddenly there was a rapid slap on the door outside the classroom, and the rhythm of the slapping through the quiet corridor was completely disregarding noise.But this impolite guy hadn't realized it yet, and finally stopped for a while, this time it became a louder slamming of the door.

Slughorn put a smile away and said unhappily, "It sounds like someone is looking for Severus?" Although Snape is no longer a potions professor, his office is still the same. The underground classroom next to the potions class.

"Potter, I know you are neither tutored nor arrogant, and I never had hope for you. But you are sixteen years old. As a prospective adult, don't you know how to spell the word polite?" Familiar The humiliating voice that was deliberately stretched and amplified, but Zoe cared more about the name in his mouth, "Because of your rudeness, Gryffindor deducts 20 points."

Harry spoke quickly and was very anxious. Zoe had stopped stirring and tried to hear more details. She heard that Harry had come to Snape for help (this The behavior itself was very wrong), and hearing Dumbledore's name, she couldn't sit still.

"Professor Slughorn." She put on a frail look, with one hand on her chest, her acting is realistic, "I think breathing is a bit, a bit—difficult, I think I probably, probably need to go to the doctor. room."

Eslughorn’s method naturally knew that she had been in a coma before. He immediately agreed to Zoe’s request and worriedly said that he would find someone to go with her. Zoe firmly refused several times. Just give up.

She bowed her head and winked at Hermione, telling her that she was okay, and dragging a feeble pace to the door, when she was sure that there was no one around, she ran to Dumbledore's office.

Chapter 54 The Symbol of Collapse (Part 2)

"Sour soda!" Zoe yelled at the stone monster panting. The monster murmured ("Another.") and jumped aside. The wall guarded by it opened to both sides, revealing a tall entrance.Zoe ran up the high stairs, and Snape must have arrived.

She subconsciously wanted to knock on the door, but as soon as the back of her hand was placed on it, the door opened silently back.Zoe looked inside. Dumbledore's desk was piled up as usual. The room was very noisy, as if five or six people were opening their mouths at the same time, and no one wanted to stop first, but listened to a word. Not sure.

"Quiet! Your Principal, be quiet!" Snape's exasperated warning overwhelmed the other voices, as if the pause button was pressed, and suddenly became silent again.

After a while, Phineas' voice rang, and the man always spoke with a cunning smell."So, Severus, even you, a potion master, can't help it?"

"If you need our help, just speak up." Dairis Dewent can still maintain her composure. "I'll go to St. Mungo and ask, maybe they can find a cure."

"I think it's hard for you to get useful help there, Ms. Derwent." She heard Snape's deep voice, and it was obvious that her teacher was being troubled by the problem. "Potter, I need to know you and Dumble What happened when Lido went out, including all the details...who was there!"

Zoe came across the shelf near the door in a daze, and she wanted to get closer.Harry was taken aback. He didn't expect to see her here. Snape looked at his student displeasedly, and the wand he was holding back into his robe.

"Miss Siegel, you should sit in the potions classroom now instead of running here to eavesdrop."

"What happened to Dumbledore?" Now that she was discovered, she didn't intend to continue hiding. She looked at Harry carefully. The boy looked as healthy as the last time he saw him. Only one injured candidate remained. .

"Teach him..." Harry grabbed the hem of his robe guiltily and didn't finish speaking for a long time.Seeing him drowsing, Zoe ran over to confirm the situation as if he had been lit by fire.

Snape didn't stop her.As soon as Zoe walked around him, Dumbledore, who was paralyzed in the seat, was reflected in her eyes.Zoe has learned many aspects of Dumbledore, including his once ambitious, and she has also chosen to accept it.But an old and fragile Dumbledore had never been seen before.

Dumbledore's star-studded eyes dimmed, and his breathing became heavy.Perhaps due to the influence of the spirit and spirit, he looks thinner, like a piece of dry, broken tree branch, leaning weakly against the back of the chair, the black cloak falling to one side, his robe feet moist and still stained dust.

"He..." Zoe's voice trembled slightly, and she could feel the vitality of the flesh in front of her slowly passing away.Dumbledore noticed her appearance and forced a smile with difficulty."I really don't want... to be seen by you... me like this."

Snape grabbed his scorched right hand, pointed his wand at it, and after a while put it back on the armrest, the look on his face became more solemn."You did that because you knew the consequences?" he asked.Dumbledore nodded.

"You can no longer be a wizard, and you may die at any time." Ignoring Zoe's flustered inhalation, Snape looked at him, "I warned you, Dumbledore, the curse in you Without disappearing, without the limitation of your magic power, it will spread faster... Potter, tell me what happened to you before. I need to know what made him weak."

Harry glanced at Dumbledore, who happened to look at him encouragingly."We went looking for something, and it was placed in the middle of a remote cavern... It was pretty smooth at first. Professor Dumbledore took me across the lake to the island, where there was a stone basin and a Stone basin..." He suddenly couldn't continue.
