Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"I must find now—"

"Hermione!" Zoe held up her face, almost touching her face regardless of the frightened face of the other person, "You look at me, look at me. Now I'm standing in front of you, it's not fake , It's me. Are you going to reject me for a ring?"

Hermione blushed and froze in place, letting Zoe's breath blow on her face.The intense shame almost occupies her whole body. She thought, she thought, she thought the upcoming kiss would be...

The expectation and joy that rose from her heart made her stunned, and she was shattered by Zoe's extra preaching.Now she really wants a time converter. Even if she can't meet her past self in principle, she still wants to slap her face a minute ago to break the ridiculous hope.

She pushed Zoe away and walked back in strides, seeming to give up the idea of ​​continuing to find the ring.Zoe blinked and followed her carefully.

Hermione kept staring at her."What are you doing with you?" she said grumpily, and waved to Zoe not to follow.

"I'm going here too." Zoe felt that his face must have thickened.

"Oh, what a coincidence." Hermione rolled her eyes, then turned and continued walking.It took her a lot of effort to find the camp from the deviated route. Fortunately, she has become familiar with the entire forest a lot during this week. Now she has recovered her calm (at least in terms of business), and the caves in the camp soon appeared. In view.

"I'm there." She frowned and said to Zoe reluctantly. If she didn't allow her, Zoe would lose her track as long as she entered the range of the protection spell.

"Um... what, good night?" Zoe's answer made her roll her eyes again.I never want to see her again!Hermione complained in her heart, annoyed that she wanted to leave.

"I mean... well... the wind is pretty strong today, and I haven't found the camp..." Zoe tried his best not to meet Hermione's eyes.

"Then you can find one now." Hermione said coldly.

"I can't walk anymore, my hands and feet are cold." Zoe showed a pitiful expression, holding his arms and trying to start shaking, trying to strengthen the persuasiveness of the words.

"I want to pretend to be pitiful again, you think this trick will still work for me—" This sentence ended when Zoe sneezed. Looking at Zoe who was sniffing constantly, Hermione was silent.

As the first thing to do when she returned to the camp, she pulled Zoe to the side of the newly lit fire and put her coat on her again.After the surroundings are lit up, it is easier for her to observe Zoe's condition."Don't you have a good night's sleep?" She pointed at the corner of Zoe's eye irritably, and a faint cyan color appeared on it.

"Work is very busy," Zoe murmured.

In most cases, she will give the task of robbing people to the Order of the Phoenix, but occasionally there will be cases where the wizard proves his innocence during the trial and thus is acquitted, which requires considerable effort.To forge a person’s information and life, she must falsify some of them and destroy some of them. She also has to manipulate several witnesses, even the memory of the person involved, to make them think that the wrong information is real.She must be very skillful, and the frequency must not be suspicious.

She is one of the first people in the Ministry of Magic who can come into contact with the waiting list. Sinknis is a pure puppet, and Yaxley is an idiot who admires power. Although Barty has a keen sense of smell, he is in this matter. The authority to access is not high, and Draco needs a lot of thought on his side, but he can't notice his hands and feet.

"Then you stay busy, I'm asleep." Hermione didn't get a positive response from her, knowing that she wanted to keep a secret about this matter, but it didn't make her mood better, it made her worse. .

She had turned her back to Zoe, trying to convey her resolutely resisting mentality.But after a while, another person's shadow was printed on the stone wall in front of her, and she could feel Zoe lying down behind her.Two cold arms tentatively wrapped Hermione's waist, and the next second he stuck it up.

"I'm going to sleep!" Hermione struggled unhappily, but the resistance was not very fierce.

"Well, good night." Zoe wrapped her in his arms, buried her face in her neck, and whispered.

Chapter 35 Scattering (4)

Hermione was awakened by the murmur behind her.She rolled over in a daze, and the cloak on her shoulders slipped from her body to the ground.She went to sleep quickly last night, without a dream. Since hiding in this forest, it was the first time that she could fall asleep so quickly. It made her want to sleep in bed.

She blinked dazedly."Are you awake?" Zoe leaned on the edge of the cave in the most light-filled place, holding a steaming coffee cup in one hand, and a plate on the right. The sandwich on it was missing a few pieces, but it seemed very delicious.She put the bookshelf between her legs to pass the time, "I thought you were going to sleep for a while."

Her voice seemed to be here, but Hermione's awkwardness was abnormal.

"It's not a dream..." Hermione rubbed her forehead, and the exhilarating aroma of coffee radiated in the cold air, confirming that this was not an illusion. Looking at the face of the person who was thinking about it, she really appeared. When she was in front of her, her heartbeat speeded up, but her face became gloomy.

"I'm hungry, there are sandwiches here. Although it's a bit simpler, I can guarantee the taste... Hermione?" Zoe saw her walking towards him, and graciously raised the plate with sandwiches to her. Min completely ignored her gestures. She threw Zoe's cloak aside, buttoned her coat, and seemed to want to leave the camp.

"Where are you going?" Zoe asked in confusion.

"Prepare for breakfast." The wind blew on Hermione's face, causing her hair to rise back, and she shivered, her tone very cold.

"Come on, a sandwich?" Zoe felt very upset, a little more careful in his voice.

"No need." Hermione finished speaking, raising her foot and leaving the camp.Zoe quickly got up and followed behind.On the way to the stream, Hermione didn't even give her eyes. Zoe watched as a few fish broke through the water and throbbed on the rocks. He walked forward and wanted to help, but was pushed away by Hermione.

"I will do it myself."

Hermione maintained her indifferent attitude.After returning to the camp, she also rejected Zoe’s request for help. Her level of manipulation of the heat has been greatly improved, at least the grilled fish finally gave off the smell of normal food, only in the absence of seasoning. , The attractiveness of the smell has also dropped significantly.

"Come on with some bread, let me sprinkle some salt for you?" Zoe said, "You can't keep talking to me!"

"You will go find the ring with me later. We said yes yesterday." Hermione spit out a fishbone. From her expression, she was not satisfied with the breakfast. She snorted, "But I am Will not accept your assistance, even a slice of bread."

"Are you going to drive me away?" Zoe looked at her pitifully. Judging from the treatment last night, she felt that Hermione was not indifferent to her weakness.

"...You can follow, but you have to find a place to live at night." Hermione frowned and tried to tell Zoe in a stern tone that she was serious, "I must keep a distance from you."

"Why! I miss you so much, Hermione, don't you want to?" Zoe was shocked and wanted to get in. She thought that Hermione's acquiescence last night was a sign of the glacier dissolution, but she didn't expect the next day. The refusal became more determined.

"Need me to repeat it again? Because we broke up, Miss Siegel! I don't want to continue to be entangled like this!" Hermione raised her wand angrily, and a visible scratch appeared on the ground in front of them. Exactly! Go beyond this line!"

"You didn't reject me yesterday!" Zoe shouted, ignoring Hermione's anger and stepping straight across the line, "You and I both know the real reason for the breakup, and I—" She held He tightly. Min's hand hopes to soothe her emotions and convey her sincerity.

"You? Don't force me, Zoe, I don't want to slap you, but I'm really in a bad mood now!" Hermione pulled her hand back from Zoe forcefully, rubbing her shaggy hair anxiously. "You are right, I know it! I know you are still you, and I know what you want; as long as I look at you, I know you still love me, just like you know that I love you...but you You never gave me a choice, did you? You just gave me a result and made me have to accept it!"

"Despicable guy, do you think I will run by waving my hand, thinking that I won’t get hurt! Now that you have made a decision, you should bear the consequences! Yes, I miss you very much. But I warn You, Zoe Siegel, I’m about to explode! You better stop testing my bottom line, this time my resistance won’t be as weak as yesterday." She waved her wand and stood up between them. Invisible obstacle, turned his back to Zoe.

After a long time, Zoe's low answer sounded from behind."Well, I promise you will not exceed the limit, but you can't just ignore me, I have something to give to you. And think about it, Hermione, think about who I am now! What a rare opportunity, you Won't want me to leave."

She hoped that Hermione's sanity would make them speak, even if it was entirely based on her "utility value" at this time.

"As long as I ask you, you will tell me the answer?" Hermione asked, still not turning around.

"As long as it is a question I can answer." Zoe replied carefully.

"I knew you would say that." Hermione said sarcastically, but she removed the obstacle curse in front of her and held her arm. "But I do want to ask you why, I thought you would prefer to avoid me all the time."

"I try to avoid meeting with you. It is safer for both of us. Plus, you are always with Harry. I can't find the time to show up. The Dark Lord may spy on me from his thoughts. His betrayal-he certainly wouldn't be able to perform Occlumency all the time honestly, would he?" Hermione had to shook her head because she knew Harry hadn't done it.

"Although it is not very good to say that, I am glad that you were able to separate for a while. As long as you keep secrets and fool the two boys, my business will not be exposed."

"Wait, then how did you know that I am here and that the three of us are separated?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"I have my own channels."

"Is it something that needs to be kept secret again?" She sneered, "If you can easily find out where I am, how can I believe other people can't find it?"

"Your protection measures are perfect. I will know where you are for a special reason. Others cannot use the same method as me." Zoe quickly defended.

"Your answer makes me insecure, Zoe." Hermione frowned and said, "You know we are avoiding Death Eaters, how can you guarantee--"

"Don't say this name!" Zoe seemed to have forgotten her promise five minutes ago, and rushed to cover Hermione's mouth, "Promise me, don't say the name of the Dark Lord." Hermin felt her seriousness. After nodding in confusion, she took her hand back.

"Why?" Hermione was a little embarrassed.

"There is a curse on it. As long as someone calls this name, the people who work for him will get the information and pounce on them like a hyena." Zoe said, "Some people think that they dare to call his name directly. The performance of enlightenment, this trap is using your courage."

"Oh my god, if that's why they haven't come to me..." Hermione bit her lip.It was impossible for Harry and Ron to leave themselves, but the fact that she had spent a week here, and the two boys seemed to have lost track, which is really abnormal.

"Someone did trigger the curse a week ago," Zoe said, "but the search team failed to catch any targets. Everything was fine before I set off. They were fine, maybe something happened, but if the Death Eaters really caught them , I can’t get no news at all."
