Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Don't be stupid, just because you can stand here and talk to me has proven that I am not hostile to you." Zoe sighed, "You must be here to find a way to break into Gringotts, isn't it? Do you know how difficult this is? There are many dangerous organs in the tunnel to stop the thief. Moreover, without the help of the goblins, it is impossible for you to find the correct location of the vault."

"That has nothing to do with you," Harry said coldly. "It doesn't matter where you know about this--"

"Where do you know? Harry, I told Hermione about the location of the Hufflepuff Golden Cup. I know you are looking for Horcrux, so you will come to Gringotts sooner or later." Her words caused the two boys to suffer. In shock, they looked at Hermione incredulously, her eyes evasive.

"Did you tell Hermione?" Ron opened his mouth. "But you...you..." He found Hermione nodded helplessly, affirming the statement "But you are not on the side of the Death Eaters!"

"Say as you go, you'd better wear your hats." Zoe listened intently. It is impossible to hide the fact that she burned Bellatrix's vault, plus the testimony of the old goblin who led the way before. , Can definitely conclude that the offender is her.

"What's the matter?" Ron glanced suspiciously at the alley and found that the black-robed man was searching around, as if he was looking for something.

"It should be the guard of Gringotts. If you count the riots on the Ministry of Magic, then you have to add a few Aurors." Zoe put on his hood and raised Hermione's hand with a smile. "But believe me, you definitely don't want to see Merlin now."

She stopped explaining, put on her hood and pulled Hermione into the back of the alley.The movement of the chasing soldiers became clearer and clearer, and Harry and the others gritted their teeth and had to walk quickly behind Zoe.

Diagon Alley and Knockdown Alley are very close, but there are roadways with complicated routes in between.The four walked through the dark and winding alleys, and Zoe would use spells to interfere with each other's directional spells from time to time.The footsteps of the chasing soldiers were far and near, accompanied by "Where did she go?!" "Here, continue chasing!" The loud shouts, and finally gradually went away.

They walked on the cobweb-complex road of Knockdown Alley."Don't you think there are more people here?" Harry asked Ron in a low voice, "When I stumbled here a few years ago, they were more willing to hide in the corner." Ron shrugged, he hadn't come to tip over. Lane, now looking curiously at a vendor sitting in a corner (who is covered in black robe as standard), his table is covered with an airtight black cloth, a little bulge under the cloth, and weird surroundings Smell.

"That person is Gutlag, obviously a pseudonym, but no one will pursue this in Knockoff Alley." Zoe said, "He is a famous businessman in Knockoff Alley, because he sells Lienbokin- What Bok will not sell either."

"Really! So what does he sell?" Ron was so excited that he didn't even mind that the person talking to him was a nominal betrayer.

"He sold the bodies of the dead." Zoe said quietly.

The three of them showed nauseous and nauseous expressions, and Ron looked at Zoe dumbfounded, as if she was saying something incomprehensible."What, what?!"

"You heard that right, Ron. Eighty percent of the black cloth is sold for leftover hands, feet, eyes, heart, etc. Even if it has been treated with an antiseptic curse or liquid medicine, it tastes disgusting enough." Zoe used as if He said in the same tone as common sense that "potions need to be purchased in the store".

"You have an incomprehensible expression, but this is what a normal person responds." Zoe chuckled. "There are many such shops on this street, but not every one sells human corpses. Black Magic Many ceremonies require sacrifice or death. It is natural to use corpses as magical materials, and demand will generate sales. These corpses are either dug out from the coffin or directly traded by the murderer’s wizard. Various sources."

"I didn't have these the last time I came here!" Harry frowned, "It just felt bad at the time."

"Because they were all hidden in the past. Although the Ministry of Magic has allowed the existence of this street to a certain extent and used it as a channel for certain dirty transactions, it is impossible to explicitly allow these people to trade corpses. The street has the rules of this street, it will strictly screen customers, and only qualified people can see the deepest darkness."

"But that was before the Death Eaters came to power. Now that the use and research of black magic are being lifted, the rats can no longer hide in the smelly sewers. If this continues, maybe they can still get business. The license." Zoe stopped and pointed to the door in front of him. "Let's go in and find a place to rest."

The light in the shop illuminated Harry and their pale faces, and simply imagining these words was enough to make people unacceptable.The old sign of Bojin-Bok stands above, and the window displays hideous skulls and strangely shaped black magic props.Harry suddenly recalled that in the past he had hidden in a closet, eavesdropping on Malfoy's conversation with his father.

"... I still can't trust you." Harry pursed his lips, and he looked at her solemnly and seriously. "This is your site, isn't it? You know this well! I know this store, Bo Kim Bok, who specializes in black magic items, is a regular customer among the Death Eaters. The mysterious man has worked here before. If he is also with you, we are just taking the initiative to step into the trap."

"Huh? Did the Dark Lord work here before?" Then he found the person being questioned had a puzzled expression, "I just don't want to walk in Knock Down Alley and exchange information with you. I also said that it is very dangerous. Somewhere, a madman will pop out at some point. You shouldn’t forget that we’re still evading the hunt. This is the safest place in Knockdown Alley. Although Bojin is a profitable businessman, he is very acquainted and never Will risk destroying the Borgin-Bock brand. We just find a place to sit for a while and discuss where to go next."

"As for you asking me why I know the situation in Knockdown Alley so much, because my mother is a frequent visitor here, and she can buy a lot of things here. I think Grandpa should have bought it too, and he did a lot of things that violated human relations. Experiment... Siegel’s crime is far more than what my mother did. The real thing is more terrifying than it seems."

Zoe sighed: "But I got a lot of benefits for this." Although she said that, she didn't seem to be very happy. "Are you going to keep shrinking like this? If you want to know the truth, you have to take risks. ... But even so, I lost your trust first. I'll tell you one more thing, and then it's up to you to decide whether to follow up or not—"

"I have destroyed Gringotts Horcrux." She said, except for Hermione, who had roughly guessed it, the two boys looked at her in astonishment. "To be precise, I directly destroyed Belat. Ricks’ vault, that’s why those guys want to find me, because I am a betrayer to them."

After that, she pulled Hermione and pushed open the door of the store.The two were silent for a while, gritted their teeth and chased in.

Chapter 52 Meet Again (Part 2)

"The riot is really because of this incident. You will act with Bellatrix, and it's still in Gringotts. It can't be without purpose." Hermione said.Her hair is gradually turning back to brown, and her azure blue eyes are turning into a gradual brilliance. After a while, her appearance should completely change back, "But I still can't figure it out, why would you know that I am not Lotus? And I knew it from the beginning. Could it be that our actions were exposed?"

If you think about it, you will find her actions very suspicious.It stands to reason that after doing this kind of thing, the most important thing is to leave the scene, but she stayed, and even took the initiative to speak up.At that time, looking around was completely searching, which means that Zoe knew she was here from the beginning.

"No, you are hiding well. There is no shortage of eyeliners from the Ministry of Magic in Diagon Alley, and there are often search teams. They think you will not rush in. Although I know you will come sooner or later, it is impossible. I thought you would happen to be there."

"Then what do you—"

"Actually, I did something on you that night, that's the day I went to find you." The first scene in her memory was the kiss at the parting time. Hermione probably imagined the same scene. The two subtly There was a moment of silence, and Zoe cleared his throat, "...You were very tired at the time and fell asleep soon. But I didn't feel sleepy at all. I used to think that staying away from you would allow you to avoid the most dangerous situations. But the facts proved that it was more like my wishful thinking. I didn’t anticipate Batty’s plan, failed to stop him, and lost all your news for a while. I don’t know where you were transferred or whether you are safe, I I just want to confirm your situation with my own eyes. This idea is driving me crazy."

She noticed Hermione's surprised face."Are you trying to ask me how I found you in that wood?" Zoe thought for a while, "it shouldn't matter to you now..." Footsteps sounded, and after the door creaked, the boys appeared in front of them .

"Have you decided?" Zoe asked.They nodded, deliberately extending their hands half from their pockets, revealing half of their wands.

Walking through the hall of Borgin-Bock, Zoe shook the bell on the counter.Not long after, a short, humpbacked man came out of the inner room with a drag. He saw Zoe's face, a look of consternation and fear flashed by, and then he was filled with pleasing smiles.

"Ms. Siegel! The last transaction was pleasant. What service do you need this time?" He walked out from behind the counter to salute.

"You should follow the agreement and didn't tell anyone about it." Zoe asked.

"Of course, of course! I'm a principled person. Besides, I never thought I could sell that thing. The right to put it away is a decoration, but you gave me such a good price." Bojin said respectfully. Since you respect my dignity as a businessman, I will keep this secret as agreed."

"This time I want to borrow your house for use, a place where you can talk without being disturbed. You can rest assured that we won't take it for a long time, and we won't touch anything about you.

Bojin stroked his shiny hair hesitantly: "I really hope I can help, but the inner room is my private—"

"As a reward, I can give you this number." Zoe gestured to him.

"I'll make a pot of black tea for you right away, generous lady. And freshly baked butter biscuits, please come to the living room on the second floor."

Zoe declined his move to make tea. Borkin waved his magic wand, brought them four wooden rocking chairs and a small square table, and then crunched down the stairs again.From the window on the second floor, you can see the dusty streets, with chasers running by from time to time, and a few apparently members of the search team. They will catch every wizard along the way, and then force their Pulling the hood down caused a lot of confusion.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. As Zoe said, if they continue to stay outside, they will definitely reveal their identity. Once there is a conflict, they can no longer stay in this area.

"Continue with the topic just now, Zoe." Hermione said, "As for how you knew I was going to be there, do you also have a light extinguisher in your hand?"

"The light extinguisher...is it the thing that Dumbledore gave you?" Zoe shook his head. "That thing was made by Dumbledore himself, only the one in Ron's hands. I will know you are in the forest. It’s because someone confided me. Although it took a lot of time, it was already the best result."

"Communication?" Harry became serious. "Who is it?" It would be too bad if their actions were always exposed to the surveillance of others.

"Phineas Nigelles." Zoe said, "I didn't expect it to be him, didn't he? You took his portrait when you were in Black House, and whenever you ask him about what happened in Hogg Phineas will also get some news about Woz’s things-such as the stolen Gryffindor sword -."

"Nobody expected those things that Batty did. After the explosion, she was taken to the woods, but luckily she was still holding her bag so that we could finally guess where she was."

"So you went to Hermione?!" Ron shouted, turning his head to look at Hermione with a slight condemnation, "You never told us that this happened at the time!" Hermione looked away guilty.

"Ron, you are not allowed to yell at her. I told her not to tell you. Based on my position, of course the less people know about this, the better." Zoe said, "Otherwise you think you Did the sword in your hand rush along the water? That is a treasure owned by the founder of Hogwarts."

"Hermione said she found it by accident in the depths of the woods when the sword was stuck in the rock." Harry twitched his mouth. Since Hermione rarely lied, the two didn't think about it at all. The most important thing is What's more, this description has a legendary charm for young people, and the boys' hearts are warmed up, as if they have been guided by fate.

"You Gryffindors are really simpler than I thought." Zoe said helplessly, pressing his forehead.

"You haven't finished talking. That time it was because of the portrait of the principal in my bag. Then this time, you already knew who I was from the beginning."

"In short, I used a little magic on something to make sure I can find you, something you will never let it leave around." Zoe pointed to her chest, and Hermione immediately understood and stared. I glanced at her, "At that time, I noticed that you were nearby, so I followed the wave of magic to search, and then I found you dressed as a lotus. You can't appear alone in Diagon Alley, so they can only put on Hide yourself in the invisibility cloak."

"So you knew that Fleur was fake, and you pretended not to know, and deliberately teased me." Hermione held her arm and raised her eyebrow.

"This is to make the two of us look more natural." Zoe said righteously, but what she couldn't say to death was that she did chuckle for a long time because of Hermione's ignorant reaction.

In order not to make their existence redundant, Harry and Ron coughed loudly to remind the two girls about to enter the duo world."Anyway, we need to sort out the information." Harry said, "According to Professor Dumbledore—" He paused for a moment when he mentioned the name and glanced at Zoe. "Tell me, mysterious people like to collect for themselves. Valuable trophies, the professor believes that he took away the treasures of the founder except the sword and made them into Horcruxes: Slytherin’s locket, Hufflepuff’s gold cup, and Ravenclaw What's wrong. The gold cup has been ruined, but we don't know the next one—why!" Harry groaned painfully while pressing his forehead.

They hurried forward to check Harry’s situation. Zoe pointed his wand at his head, and the next second he appeared in the living room of Malfoy Manor. There was already a mess here. The Death Eaters fell to their knees, trembling. Looking up at their master, those blood-red eyes were full of angry emotions, his pale hands tightly held the yew wand, and a goblin corpse was lying under his feet.

Although she had heard from Hermione's mouth that Harry could connect with Voldemort's thoughts, she was still shocked when she saw this scene.This was similar to her situation with Max, but completely different. She watched Voldemort's every move, and finally returned to reality with Harry.
