Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"And—" Before Hermione finished speaking, she saw the Death Eater who was a little away from them flipping and falling off his broomstick, completely unconscious.Countless vines emerged from his broomstick, hanging him in the air like a hammock.

"What's the matter?" Hermione looked at what was happening in front of her in surprise.

"Don't worry, sit down. Another one comes after!"

After the slight shaking, Hermione knew they were going to move on, but the people behind them followed closely, neither too close nor being thrown away, but the movement looked like stumbling, and the posture would shake worryingly from time to time. , It's all because Ye Qi was injured to keep following.

"It's coming soon." Kingsley's voice was a little bit painful, "Just repel this one, I think we are safe."

Ye Qi rushed out of the black mist, and Hermione could already see the roof of Kingsley's house in the distance. As long as they landed within the protection spell, they would be completely safe.She stared at the Death Eater behind him instead of Kingsley, and the less the person attacked, she suspected that the other party had another purpose.

Ye Qi lowered the flying height slightly, Hermione was startled, she noticed that the Death Eaters behind her also accelerated, and were approaching to their left.She cast a spell in the direction of the man. The spell shifted its direction and passed through the edge of the hood. It slid down, revealing the familiar face underneath.

The last picture in the memory is that the other party stops the broom and looks at himself quietly.As soon as Ye Qi landed within the protection curse, the figure disappeared completely.The bird-like black horse stopped in place and flicked its tail, staring at the birds on the nearby tree without turning.

Kingsley jumped off Ye Qi's back with difficulty and handed her hand to the startled Hermione.

"We are here." He said with a smile.

Chapter 8 Occupy the Ministry of Magic (Part 1)

Zoe deliberately delayed the apparition until the last moment. When the outline of Malfoy Manor appeared in his vision, the complex and turbulent emotions in his heart calmed down a bit.She didn't want to ask why Hermione appeared in such a dangerous ambush. She should have expected her long ago. With Hermione's loyalty to friendship and career, as long as there is a need, she will not avoid the danger of facing herself. Thing; she also didn’t want to complain why Snape didn’t tell her the real plan in private (obviously he was one of the real insiders), Snape and she were not at the house, in the enemy’s lair. As long as the flaws are exposed, they cannot escape attacks dozens of times more than them.

She shuttled down the gravel path, rejoicing that Hermione had escaped.Hermione’s state doesn’t look very good, far worse than the last side in Zoe’s memory, and it’s certainly not just because of panic after being attacked, it’s more like a mental exhaustion reaction to the body after many things have accumulated. .

Consciously being one of the stressors, Zoe is not even qualified to appease each other. She can only hope that Hermione’s two friends and her like-minded partner can ease her pain, give her a embrace, and let her It becomes easier.As soon as this thought came up, the desire for monopoly continued to cling to his heart.She really hoped that Hermione could live happily, but she didn't want it to be obtained from someone other than herself.

She wanted to slap herself hard, and use the pain to wake herself up from unreasonable jealousy.She just raised her hand, but her gaze swept across the carefully arranged garden of Malfoy Manor. She knew that Lucius took a lot of thought to make the garden look more beautiful.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Not long after stepping into the manor, Zoe stepped on the carpet in the hallway to the door of the living room, and the door was pushed open from inside.After the battle, the Death Eaters naturally needed to gather to report the summary of the battle. Zoe was not surprised when someone came out, but her eyes suddenly didn't blink, because it was Snape who came out.

"I accidentally touched something sharp." Zoe put his hand behind his back naturally, hiding his bleeding left hand.

Snape snorted softly and didn't ask much, just withdrew his sharp gaze.

"How's it going, Severus?" Zoe looked at Snape with a smile. Even if there were only two of them, they had to pretend to be, but using names to refer to their mentors was really new. Zoe vowed to pay attention. When Snape heard the name, his facial muscles trembled unnaturally.

"What else? The meritorious person brags desperately, and the failed person has to do their best to make themselves look more useful. The noisy as usual, everyone is discussing the previous ambush." ​​Snape said coldly. .

"You provided important information, Severus. Tom will reward you." Zoe asked tentatively. She and Snape have been together for a long time and can detect a lot of each other's emotions. "But you don't seem to be at all. happy."

"We didn't catch Potter after all," Snape said. "Then this battle failed. There is nothing to be happy about." Having said that, Zoe knew that this was not what made Snape irritable. It's more like regretting something.

"Severus, why are you standing by the door?" A voice rang from behind him. The wizard is a tall and thin man with thick gray hair and a long and pointed nose. "Hey, Max, come back. It's too late."

"Good afternoon, Traverse." Zoe had done a good job on the surface, and she greeted the Death Eater in front of her kindly, "It was delayed by a small matter. Is it over?"

Traverse's attitude towards her is quite friendly, not hostile: "No, Bellatrix took a little longer and said that she would be able to kill the Auror relative who was chasing just a little bit—you know , The niece who was married to the werewolf (when he said this word as if he was describing something dirty, the tone was extremely contemptuous) niece. This family has been corrupted since the previous generation, isn’t it? I heard Bei Latrix and Narcissa's sister married Mudblood (another cold snort)!"

Zoe smiled and listened to him, but she always wanted to spit on Traverse's face. She hated the word "mudblood". Hermione was also a Muggle-born wizard. This word would make Zoe Yi felt that she was also insulted.

Snape seemed to understand her mind and interrupted Traverse."I'm going to find the master, and ask him to decide on the plan for assassinating Scrimgeour." Traverse knew Snape's temperament very well, and he did not continue the topic just now.

"Tom? He's not in the living room?" Zoe asked after Snape left.

"The master is interrogating in the dungeon." Traverse said in awe.

"Interrogation?" Zoe asked, "Who? Do we have prisoners?"

"It's a pity that we didn't catch the captive." Travers said, and Zoe was relieved. "Garyk Ollivander, the master is going to look for him." Travers added, "It is said to be For the wand."

This is simply nonsense, mentioning Garrick Ollivander, the term that every British wizard thinks of will be wand, he is one of the best wand makers in Europe.

"Didn't the master take Lucius' wand and chase Potter?" At this point, Traverse made a mysterious appearance, "but Lucius' wand exploded."

Zoe suppressed his surprise, and Traverse started talking nonstop as if opening a chatterbox."In the beginning, the owner judged that Potter was following his godfather. Just like his hapless parents, his godfather would also be willing to give his life to protect Potter. To be honest, I think so too, and I am eyeing this too. One group, just behind the owner."

"You must know that Potter is an excellent flying man. Severus told us everything he knew. The Potter I was chasing also happened to be riding a broomstick. Most importantly, he flies so well that he can be called. It's art!" Traverse cleared his throat, making himself look less excited, after all, he was talking about enemies.

"We almost have to be sure that this Porter is genuine. In my opinion, his skill is even comparable to that of a professional player, and his cooperation with Sirius is very tacit. Who would suspect that such a character is a substitute? We entangled with them. When they got up, they avoided most of the attacks. It took a long time, but they would soon be wiped out by the master."

"But at this time, someone called the master and said that they found Potter." Traverse said, "This is really confusing people. In our opinion, this Potter is more like the real... ...But not long after, that Potter's hair suddenly began to turn golden, so the master rushed over immediately."

Zoe guessed that the members of the Order of the Phoenix did not expect to encounter an ambush at first. They failed to take the shortest route originally planned. The increase in escort time caused the efficacy of the compound decoction to fail to reach their destination.Just like in Hermione's situation, the person who teamed up with Sirius was probably Margaret, and she was the only one who fits Traverse's narrative best.

"What's the matter with the explosion of the wand?" Zoe asked.

"I also want to know, this is too weird. I heard Selwyn say that at the time the real Potter fired a spell, and Lucius' wand failed to resist its power and was destroyed." Lavers's tone was very gloating. Lucius used to be in a high position, and many people were jealous and hated him.

At this time, footsteps sounded from the right, Traverse turned his head to look, and immediately bowed down to salute, calling out "Master" in fear.Voldemort's blood-red eyes swept over him, and Traverse shook. He didn't dare to make the dark lord who was angry.Snape followed him in silence, expressionless.

"Everyone is waiting for you."

Traverse opened the door and stepped away.Zoe fell in the end, but he didn't expect Snape to put a vial into her hand in silence, and then followed Voldemort's pace into the living room.

Zoe looked at the bottle and recognized that it was filled with fresh white essence.In fact, these kinds of small wounds don't need Baixian essence at all, just a spell is enough. During the days when Madam Pomfrey helped her, the other party taught her many tips.However, Zoe smiled and accepted Snape's concern.

She was the last to sit down."Another lucky coincidence, Harry Potter escaped the Dark Lord's hunt and retracted into his cozy nest. It was all because of an accident with the wand, but this luck could not follow him forever. "When Voldemort paused, the Death Eaters present even breathed lightly.

"The safe house used to hide Harry Potter has been given a complex protection spell, but at least half of it is in charge of the Ministry of Magic." Voldemort said, "Resolve Scrimgeour and control the Ministry of Magic, and we can get You can find the boy by breaking the protection spell."

Chapter 9 Occupy the Ministry of Magic (Part 2)

"I will contact Sinknis immediately." Yaxley smiled and tried to endure his pride. He has been waiting for this moment. As long as he can give enough credit, he will be able to gain greater power and more High status, "I have won some manpower through Sinknis, and even some of Scrimgeour's closest people, which means we can quietly isolate him, and then solve his loyal subordinates in order."

He took out a list and handed it over to the Dark Lord respectfully. He had been preparing for a long time.Voldemort scanned the list, slightly surprised."That surprised me, Yaxley." Voldemort shook off the list. "You did a lot of work for it."

"As your most loyal servant, I am willing to dedicate everything to your cause." Yaxley bowed, almost touching the table with the tip of his nose.

"Good job, now I am going to appoint a person in charge of this operation, who is solely responsible for this operation."

"Aren't you together?" Bellatrix called disappointedly.

"Just solve an old wizard, can you all do well?" Voldemort said, "I have something to do... In short, all I want is results. It is best to get Harry Potter from Scrimgeour's mouth. ’S intelligence, but don’t let him survive. Once you break the safe house’s protection spell, go and catch the boy!"

"If the boy escapes and loses the restriction of the trace, it will be difficult for us to find him." This kind of remark that seemed to claim "We didn't catch Potter again" just appeared, and everyone who heard it was silent. Bowing their heads angrily, they didn't dare to say this possibility bluntly, especially when their master always attributed Harry's escape to luck.

"Max, do you want to tell me." Voldemort suddenly slowed down and muttered softly to himself, "All the adults present are useless rice buckets, not even a child who is about to reach adulthood? "At the end, Voldemort's voice was as cold as ice-filled.

"We must consider the possibility. Tom, Potter has escaped many times. Why can you be sure that you can catch him this time? After Dumbledore's death, the Phoenix Society gambled on all forces to protect him, let alone He is not a stupid person himself. It is not shameful to admit failure, as long as we can fill in the loopholes in time." If another occasion, Zoe would have quit, even when she, the client, said these things. "Max"'s words and deeds are no different from deliberately dancing on the tip of a knife.

Sometimes she thinks in a daze that she has really become Max. She has all the memories and knowledge of Max. If these things happen to be the important things that constitute personality and self, then she has all of them from that moment. It is no longer pure self.

It is only because she has a strong enough ego that she can continue to live for herself."No matter how many years in the past, you are always unpleasant to speak." Voldemort said, the people around could not hear the emotions in the words, and they did not dare to destroy the atmosphere. Only Bellatrix seemed very excited. , She probably thought that Zoe would be killed by the Dark Lord for offense in a while.

"Just ask the people around you and you will understand what a big mistake the sentence just now is."

"Huh, don't worry about it, I have arranged it a long time ago." Voldemort said, "Only the rebels dare to call my name directly. They call this behavior courage and determination, but it will become Their weaknesses."
