Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Shut up...Why can you tell such cruel facts in such a calm tone? Since my birth, this surname has only brought countless pain and stains. Even if I desperately told myself to look for it, except Dig up more corrupt and dirty history, I won't get anything!"

"So I decided, I want to cut off Siegel's history." Zoe said word by word, "I want to be the one who shovels the last dirt on the coffin of this sinful family."

"This is your right." Max said lightly. "From the moment you defeated me, the patriarch of this family has been you."

"Then, even if it is a technique that is stained with sin and blood, I will use it." Zoe closed his eyes, "...In order to allow more people to live."

*********

The light of the circle faded, and the world in front of Zoe was no longer a white one.She rubbed her eyes, wiped away the tears that were dazzled by the light, ignoring the others, and quickly rushed to the center of the circle.

Snape also chased up, clutching a tin bottle tightly in his hand. He unplugged the cork, carefully padded Dumbledore's head, and fed him a little of the liquid inside. Focusing on the old man's face with undivided attention.

Zoe grabbed the hem of the robe fiercely, and she could hear the loud heartbeat echoing in her ears.She prayed to the gods repeatedly, but Dumbledore didn't move at all, still falling asleep.

A huge panic completely engulfed her mind.She trembles and sits on the ground, covering her cheek with her hand, not daring to face the painful pain.

"Calm down." Snape's voice sounded in the darkness, "Don't forget that he is a dying person, not to mention that we are forcibly dragging him from death back to the world, Nico Lemay’s Philosopher’s Stone will happen. It works... a little more patience." Although he tried to keep calm, Zoe could hear the faint anxiety in his tone, and it was obvious that Snape was not really as calm as he showed.

Thinking about this, Zoe got a little comfort instead.She squeezed a handful of meat from her thigh, using pain to drive away the fear in her heart.

"Well……"

I don't know how long it took, a faint moan sounded.Then, Dumbledore's closed eyelids moved slightly.

Chapter 58

"Later, we secretly placed Dumbledore in the responsive house, and no one knew that he was alive except for a few of us. I successfully joined the Dark Lord's camp because I'killed' Dumbledore, and Snape The professor stayed at Hogwarts. After Dumbledore’s death, the Dark Lord needs a confidant to control the school for him. He is the best candidate as a teacher and Death Eater to ensure that some of us can stay in the castle. It is very necessary. In addition to protecting the safety of the students, more importantly, Dumbledore's physical condition was still very unstable at the time, and we cannot leave him here alone."

When her explanation came to an end, and she was about to take a breath and answer the questions in more detail, she found that no one tried to do this at all. To be precise, everyone was still immersed in the events she just described, and I was stunned by the unexpected truth about the Venus. I don’t know if I should scream loudly at the legend that someone overthrew the Avada’s Mantra, or pat the shoulder of the girl in front of me with a lot of burden, or ...

"So according to you, Snape is actually his own?!" Harry shouted unacceptably.It didn't take long for Zoe to explain that he had paid most of his attention to this fact.And with the long-accumulated personal grievances between him and Snape, the tone sounded to have eliminated the shock, and there was even a kind of emotional disappointment.

"Don't forget the previous agreement, Harry, it's Snape's'Professor'." Zoe insisted on his words without giving back.

"No, I don't believe it!" Harry looked around, then dragged Neville out of the crowd. He pointed to the bruises and scabs on Neville's face. "If you say that guy is himself People, why are there so many wounded? He is completely letting the Carlo brothers and sisters be violent. Why do Neville, Dean (being pulled out of the crowd like magic), and others have to hide here? Why didn't he stop Luna from being captured? Why couldn't even his students be protected!"

"I know it's hard for you to accept... No, it should be said that you refuse to believe it, but that's the truth. Don't you really know the answers to these questions? I don't think so." Zoe looked directly into Harry's eyes until The boy took the initiative to look away, "Professor Snape’s identity is a Death Eater, so naturally he can’t risk revealing his identity. In fact, if it’s not a professor, they would sneak into the principal’s office to steal the sword. Carlo The brothers and sisters have enough reasons to torture them to death...Although they are a little injured, they are still alive, is this not enough? The Dark Lord does want to reduce the death of pure blood as much as possible, but this does not mean that he really takes it seriously The lives of a few pure-blood students."

"Harry, I won't force you to like him, but you must admit that he is doing something brave. He bet his life and put himself in a dangerous situation. This is not enough for you to admit that he is Our companion?"

Harry curled his lips, his momentum suddenly weakened: "I didn't deny it, I just can't believe it..."

"By the way, the professor is the half-blood prince who provided you with a lot of help last year. If you still remember your gratitude to him, please directly thank him with the most sincere affection." Zoe "specially" He added another mouth, looked at Harry's sluggish face, and finally resisted a laugh.

"Keep talking about business." She didn't continue to stimulate Harry.

"On business? Shouldn't we join the battle right away!" someone shouted excitedly, "Down with brother and sister Carlo and retake our castle!" Others also responded to his views.

"Of course, this is the first small goal next." Zoe said, "and we will use the castle as a position to defend against the attacking Death Eaters. Next, we must try our best to contact those who are willing to fight, and we cannot evacuate. Those who take part in the battle, we don’t have much time, so I hope everyone can contribute."

"One more thing." Harry frowned and stopped. "For a certain purpose, I have to change the posture of the responsive house once, so I need you all to leave here...Of course, if any of you can give me some Opinion, about Ravenclaw’s treasure—"

"That must be the missing crown." Luna replied immediately, "But (she inadvertently glanced in the air), I don't think its magic is powerful enough to defeat the mysterious person."

"What? What magic?" Ron looked at her confused.

"It is said that Ravenclaw's crown is a symbol of wisdom. It has been given a magical property that can increase the wearer's wisdom." Another Ravenclaw student explained.

"It doesn't matter whether that thing has magic or not..." Harry hesitated for a while, "because we all had to destroy it in the end."

His answer stunned the Ravenclaw students present."You can't do this!" someone shouted, "you don't have this right! That is a precious historical heritage, we must protect it!" Harry could not refute it, if someone told him for no reason, it would ruin the grid. Lanfindor's sword is absolutely unacceptable to himself.

"Stop condemning Harry, it's not his fault." Zoe stopped in front of the angry Ravenclaw students. "The crown has been contaminated by dark magic. What it can bring is not wisdom, but danger and Death, understand?"

"Then we should think of ways to lift the curse above?!"

"Speaking of removing the curse." Luna interrupted. "I think we can try to use the power of runes. Remember, Zoe?" She waved her wand, and the runes flashed blue around her. "We should give it a try first."

"...I'm not sure Rune can do this, but we must not make a mistake in this matter." Zoe thought carefully, looking at Luna in confusion, "Why are you obsessed with keeping the crown? It is the easiest way to drop it."

"It is very important to Helena, even if she doesn't admit it... Of course, if my method doesn't work, then I can only destroy it. Before that, I just want a chance to try."

"This method is feasible." This sentence did not belong to anyone present, but came from the direction of the doorway.After a long absence, Barbara's dark circles seemed to have worsened. Although she looked listless and gloomy, her voice was still very flat and her steps were steady.

"Runes are texts that contain power, especially at the spiritual level. They can lead to incredible powers and have obvious effects on curses and spirits." Barbara said, "Luna, although you have talent, But the disadvantage is that you lack experience, and you should think about the possibility of failure and learn to leave a way for yourself."

"I will go with you. It is not easy to meet a student who has such an understanding of runes like you. You should also pay more attention to your own value and pay more attention to safety, understand?" Luna listened When she said so, she nodded apologetically.

Zoe was about to ask why she suddenly appeared here, but when she saw Margaret appearing at the end of the secret tunnel, she closed her mouth funny.Unexpectedly, Margaret did not rush to give Barbara a bear hug, but approached Zoe aggressively, her face gloomy.

"You little bastard dare to lie to me!" This woman who has always been insignificant and unimportant slapped Zoe's body, and her breath was so painful, "Do you think I'm a liar, eh? Together with Draco, see if I don’t take care of you two stinky brats!" She caught Zoe’s neck with her arm and rubbed her hair into a mess. The latter tried her best to break free of her restraint. , Staring at the pesky in surprise and anger.

Draco who appeared behind her happened to collide with Zoe's angry gaze, and immediately turned his head pretending to be innocent.He straightened out his untidy robe, saw the tapestries and flags of the three colleges on the wall, snorted softly, and the silver-green snake flag hung the blank wall. This change quickly caused other People's attention, they opened their mouths in disbelief, never expecting to see a Slytherin in this camp of rebels.

"Others will come back here one after another after they have dealt with the matter at hand." Margaret shook hands with Scrimgeour, "but I don't think you are included, but they are still waiting for you. ." Scrimgeour nodded."Yes, but I promise to come back, as the Minister of Magic." When several other Ministry officials heard this, they couldn't help but get excited.

"Everyone remember that although the task is to deliver news and convene the team, the most important thing is to ensure safety. Except for Carlos brothers and sisters, there will definitely be students who take the initiative or are forced to assist them. We must avoid falling into a situation where they cannot escape... "The people in the room responsive to requests one after another left, and the room suddenly became deserted.

"Harry, wait." Zoe stopped the boy who was about to leave. "Dumbledore has something to find you alone."

The two partners who had understood the overtones gave Harry glances and left the room first.

Chapter 59 The Decisive Battle (1)

"Zoe, do you know why Professor Dumbledore saw Harry alone?" Hermione just came out of the responsive room and immediately asked the question, "Is there anything else only Harry can know?" She bit her. His lips looked a little confused and anxious.

"I would love to answer your question-if I know the answer." Zoe made her tone sound more soothing when she spoke. She could clearly feel the anxiety in Hermione's heart, even if things were all right. It couldn't be better, "But since Dumbledore chose to do this, he must have his own consideration."

"Um... I don't understand what's going on, I'm just a little scared. Even the Horcrux thing he allowed Harry to tell me and Ron, but now it was time to hurry up, but he said he had to look for something alone. Harry..."

"I don't think it's that bad, Hermione, you are too sensitive." Ron clenched his fists and said excitedly. "Think about it, what terrible thing we have now, even death can be subverted! Victory must Will belong to us, we just need to bravely join the fight."

"However, this is not the case... I should really change the statement." Zoe sighed, listened to Ron's words, and reminiscent of the relaxed and excited look on the faces of the students who left the room of responsiveness. She finally understood that from just now The truth of the sense of disobedience that has been entrenched in my heart, "There are many restrictions in order to successfully return to the soul. First, it does not really subvert death. No one has noticed this in the past because the body has indeed died. But the soul is in a state of vain that is neither life nor death."

"Returning the soul is a ritual to reconnect the soul and the body by guiding the stolen soul and cooperating with the magic circle. But because of the death of the body, plus the wear and consumption of the soul in the process, it will be Will inevitably enter a state of extreme weakness. It takes a long time and careful recuperation and rest to gradually recover. The degree of weakness and resilience are related to the physical condition of the person involved. So Scrimgeour only seems to be malnourished, but Dumbledore Even ordinary walking is difficult. But whether it is the former or the latter, their life span will be greatly shortened because of this experience."

Zoe looked at them earnestly: "This is not a trivial matter. You should not underestimate the Avadaso Mantra, nor ignore the harm it will bring you, let alone the fear of death-you must know Ava. Dassault’s life is just one of thousands of ways to kill."

"Can the soul-returning curse only fight the killing curse?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." Zoe nodded. "And there are a few more points that need to be noted-as the wand of the attacker who guides the necessary things, and within six hours of death. Either of these two points is not realized. If it does, the soul-returning curse cannot be realized. After six hours, even casting the soul-returning curse is useless...I will tell the professors these things later, and everyone who participates in the battle must understand this."

"I'll notify Professor Snape to come over, and you can just leave Dumbledore to him." Zoe told them that the two of them will definitely stay here to accompany Harry.

"Are you leaving?" Hermione asked. "What are you going to do next?"

"Go and do... something similar to pre-war mobilization, you may not like... I'm going to see Kroc and Bain."
