Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"But you shouldn't leave the Ministry." Hermione pointed at her. "How many people do you think would want to retaliate against you?"

"I won't count anymore after more than a hundred." Zoe smiled bitterly. "There is nothing more comfortable at the Ministry of Magic than outside. Chaos, fear, flattery and frame-up. Some people want to stay away from me in exchange for safety, some People want to use me in exchange for benefits. The most interesting thing is my deputy, Ms. Umbridge. She just wants to kick me away from my current position and then take the position of director by herself-but she doesn’t seem to Knowing that I know how to seize the mind."

"I will go crazy if I stay in such an atmosphere all day long! There is a task that suits me, so I applied to go out-and by the way, I will give you a gift, a gift that you will definitely not refuse. "

Under Hermione's gaze, she was waving her magic wand, and suddenly a big silver cross fell in the air. The beautiful body like a work of art shone with shallow and sharp cold light, and the cross junction was inlaid with large rubies.Even if you don't hold it in your hand, just watching it has already taken all your eyes off by that courage and beauty.

It was amazing, Hermione told herself.Although she had never touched this sword and had never seen its true body before, she quickly realized its identity from its obvious characteristics, which was exactly what the three of them wanted to achieve. The treasure symbolizes courage and will, and most importantly, it can destroy the Horcrux.

Gryffindor's sword was lying quietly on the ground, as if waiting for a hero who could hold it.

Chapter 36 Scattering (End)

"This is, this is impossible... This is Gryffindor's sword! I have seen its description and illustrations in "Hogwarts, a School History", which is exactly the same as the sword in front of you! But it How could it be here? Or take it out of your body!" Hermione did not come forward, she seemed to be talking to herself, holding her chin fast, "Could it be from the relic seized by Scrimgeour It’s taken away from here? But the disappearance of the sword can't help other people's suspicion, and there is no news that the sword has disappeared..."

She woke up and raised her head: "When was the sword replaced? The one in the principal's room!"

Zoe curled his mouth, also a little surprised.She knew that Hermione would definitely detect the violation, but she didn't expect the other party to know that the sword in the principal's office was a fake, and she didn't know where she got the information.

"From the beginning. I mean, since Dumbledore's death, the sword has been replaced with a fake." Zoe stepped forward to hold the hilt. The treasure carefully forged by the goblin would not be exposed even if exposed. Contaminated with dust and shining with cold light in the falling light, its nature will automatically repel them. "Dumbledore needs to make you aware of the importance of the sword, so he stated in his will that the sword will be given to Harry, but we It is very clear that the Ministry of Magic will inspect his relics and they will never give the sword to Harry. Scrimgeour will try his best to figure out Dumbledore’s intentions. He also wants to defeat the Dark Lord, but he will not believe Harry Is the key person."

"That's why you faked one. Everyone thought that the sword was real, and only the fairies could identify it. But no one would think of asking the fairies for their opinions, and no one would think that the genuine product was in your hands. Hermione helped her conclude.

"The effect so far has been pretty good, isn't it?" Zoe said triumphantly.

"If Neville, Luna, and Ginny are not punished for this fake, I can laugh with you."

Zoe knew that she was complaining about herself, and she wanted to tell Hermione that this would not happen, and that Snape should be in the position of principal.They couldn't keep Voldemort's minions out of school forever, but they could control its extent.

But she shut up and let Hermione condemn it. Even in the face of her, she could not reveal Snape's identity. This was a necessary insurance.

"...Have you never been back?" Hermione asked.

"No, those who stay will think that I am a traitor and curse me." Zoe smiled bitterly, "but I went out this time to deal with Hogwarts, so I naturally have to go back."

"what happened?"

"It's a weird thing that Daisy was not assigned to Gryffindor... She attacked an official of the Ministry of Magic on the platform at the beginning of school, and escaped with the junior students from the same college. But she is very smart, never using a wand, and Staying vigilant at all times, she actually hid for several months. It was only recently that Zongsi tracked her where she was. At the same time, the search team also sent back news and found me."

"She was exposed?" Hermione looked solemn, "Then you are going to save her?"

"On the contrary, I have to stop her from escaping before she does more stupid things, and then send her back to Hogwarts. For Daisy, that's the safest place."

"Where are the students who escaped with her?"

"Arrange a concealed hiding place, but to the outside I will declare missing or dead."

"In that case, Daisy will not hand people over to you, you know this best."

"However, the initiative is never in her hands, is it?" Zoe said this in a soft voice as if to himself.

Hermione glanced at her: "Let's go, let's find the ring."

"Is there any question you want to ask?" Zoe asked. "I don't think you should hide the questions in your heart, especially those about me. It is better for me to answer for you than to think about it yourself."

"I said I hate being deceived, Zoe." Hermione sighed. She didn't understand Zoe's fear, but her heart was more peaceful than anger. "Before I saw you, I There are indeed many questions that I want to know the answer. Even now, I can’t say that I’m relieved...Do you think I can trust you?"

"I hope you can believe me." Zoe looked into her eyes eagerly.

"Okay, then I believe you." Hermione's answer carries a certain invisible weight. "Although it is contrary to the existing evidence, this time I am willing to believe in intuition." I believe that the pair that reflects my figure is vast. The blue-eyed owner believes that she has not become strange.

"And Horcrux—"

Zoe interrupted Hermione, she closed her eyes and opened them again after a while, smiling helplessly as if she had received a message."Sorry, Hermione, I can't find a ring with you. Ron and the others are looking for you, they are very close, I can't stay here anymore."

She walked around to remove the traces of her existence. After finishing the robe, she fastened the cloak, and pushed the hat on top of her head to stop it where it was supposed to be.Zoe subconsciously opened his arms to Hermione, wanting to give a parting hug, and remembering Hermione's previous firm resistance, both arms froze in embarrassment, and it took a while to put them down.

"I do have some clues about the Horcrux. The Dark Lord once gave Bellatrix the treasure of the founder of Hufflepuff. I can be sure that he made the golden cup into a Horcrux. But the cup was locked. In the vault of the Lestrange family of Gringotts, the protective measures of Gringotts are very strict, whether it is the entrance or the inside of the vault. Even if you slip in by chance, it is almost impossible to leave alive, just divide the tortuous and complicated passages. It is impossible to be clear. Only the fairies working for Gringotts know the correct passage, including how to subdue the dragon guarding the vault."

"I suggest you give up, for the sake of safety, there are too many uncertain factors." Zoe can only ignore Hermione's ugly face, she has no time to comfort her, "As for the remaining Horcruxes, the clues are always there. , Just remember carefully. Dumbledore told Harry everything and he would know where to go."

"...I should go." She looked at Hermione for a few seconds, as if to carve her into her memory, and began to spin.

"Wait!" Zoe felt that her robe was being pulled, and there was only one person who could do this. She thought Hermione had something important, and immediately stopped spinning.

Her bewildered gaze was met by a face that was close to being close together, the soft touch of lips, and the intrusive tongue. Hermione grabbed her by the collar, her movements were not gentle at all, she was eager. Rude, conveying dissatisfaction and reluctance of parting.Like fire, Zoe’s long-stored longings were completely detonated, and even his reason was burnt.

They kissed hard and passionately, putting aside all unbridled hugs.Every breath seemed to be the last time in life, and there were only two of them left in the world.When Zoe recovered, Hermione had been pushed by her against the tree trunk. She wrapped Hermione's waist with one hand, staring at her wet and blurred eyes, and sucking her lips softly.

She didn't want to use the precious time and atmosphere to ask Hermione why she broke the agreement, it didn't matter."We'll meet, and I'll go to you." Zoe held Hermione's face and hooked her drooping hair behind her ear, "I love you."

There was a messy noise from the bushes, and it seemed that someone was walking through the bushes, and the cloth was rubbed against the branches.After a while, he first drilled out a freckled boy with fiery red hair. He looked around, and finally found the girl who was leaning on the tree trunk and seemed to be stunned. He patted the boy with glasses who got out of the bushes behind him in surprise. Shoulders.

"There, Hermione!" The two called out their friends' names, and Hermione waved at them and ran to them.

Chapter 37 The Next Goal

"Fortunately, you're all right, Hermione." The three people sat down in front of a few raised rocks. The two boys seemed to have accumulated a lot of things they wanted to say, and looked at Hermione repeatedly, trying to confirm her true condition.

"I've always worried that something will happen, and you guys came later than I expected." Hermione put down her entangled thoughts and said worriedly.

"Your worry is actually right. Something happened to Harry." Ron smiled bitterly. "After he left Black House, he was attacked by Death Eaters." Hermione's eyes widened in shock and turned to look. Xiang Harry, recalling what happened at that time, Harry's face was not very good either.

"Kreacher took me Apparition to the outskirts of a certain village, probably because I wanted to find a place for me to take a break first. At that time, I was injured a bit and he hid me in a Muggle barn. , And got me food." Hermione didn't want to accuse Kreacher of the difference, she looked at Harry nervously, as if he was still experiencing what happened at the time.

"My physical condition makes me have to rest for a while. With Kreacher helping to stare at the Muggle, I plan to rest in the barn first—"

"But there is no way to explain that you will be attacked by the enemy. They can't know that Kreacher will take you there. Unless, unless you say that name." Hermione pursed her lips.

"Do you know this too?" Ron exclaimed in surprise. "We can't directly name the mysterious person."

Hermione nodded. Fortunately, the two boys didn't expect to ask how she knew about it. For the first time, Hermione was grateful for Harry and Ron's carelessness, which meant that she didn't have to spend time making up. Lies.

"You called the mysterious man's name." Hermione looked at Harry affirmatively.As an old friend, she knew that Harry’s obsession with calling Voldemort's name was not just an expression of courage, but also a kind of resistance and fighting against the future, which gave him strength, just like Dumbledore was still there. As encouraged by him.

Harry sighed: "Maybe less than half a minute, four Death Eaters suddenly appeared in the barn, all of them not looking good. They came so suddenly that Kreacher hadn't even had time to stop anything. Fainted."

"Then how did you escape?" Hermione asked suspiciously. "The explosion will definitely not cause you less damage than mine. I understand the feeling of detachment. Your brain hurts so much that you don’t even have magic. The method was implemented smoothly."

"My scars saved my life. At least they didn't give me an Avada life right away. The four people were very excited. They noticed that I was injured and judged that I had lost the possibility of escape. They took it away. With my magic wand, I wanted to call the mysterious man immediately, but there was a dispute because everyone wanted to monopolize the credit."

"I wish they could fight each other, but things didn't go so smoothly. They quarreled for a long time, and finally decided to let the mysterious man be the referee and let him decide who to give the most generous reward." Harry recalled that time. Everything was like a dream scene, even if it happened, he still couldn't believe it.

"Really, Hermione, you will definitely be scared to death after hearing this." Ron twitched his mouth, looking complicated. "You can't think of who saved Harry."

"Who?" Hermione asked. Although a candidate immediately appeared in her heart, she knew that with that person's personality, this kind of thing was impossible.

"Malfoy." Harry's voice was subconsciously annoyed at the mention of the annoying name.Even if they had shared interests and collaborated briefly, Harry's dislike of Draco was still far greater than his good, which was the result of continuous accumulation during the years of student life.
