Ravenclaw's Sapphire

On the day of the Quidditch match, the weather was clear and cloudless. In Hogwarts, where the climate is complex and volatile, this can be regarded as a rare good weather, at least it was a good start.

"Why do people always like to huddle together to watch this brutal sport?" Zoe couldn't help complaining, she and Luna found a seat, Zoe was surprised that Luna was willing to talk to her, but Luna Na obviously didn't think it was a big deal.

Students enthusiastically waved flags or items that symbolized the college, shouting loudly for the college they supported.The space where Zooey was was briefly silent, but everyone was in high spirits, they quickly shifted their attention, and just moved their butts a little farther away.

"When you see the players fly into the sky with your emotions and win, you will feel that you are also involved, and you have something to talk about with the people around you." Luna swept her robe, "Or they Just like the fanaticism of a group supporting a thing, not being so different, not being regarded as a weirdo."

"You can be one of them if you want."

"Yes, as long as I want." Luna's voice became sleepwalking again, "There are so many mysterious and unknown things in the world, I think discovering them is more important than these...Of course I like Kui very much. Weird, my dad used to make a simple one in front of our house, and we—when my mom was alive—loved forming a triangle to catch and toss.”

"You, don't you care?" Zooey was a little embarrassed, she felt that she suddenly faced the most real side of this girl, although she seemed so careless.

"No, she died because of an experimental spell when I was a child, but we never lost her, she has always been there, and I believe we will meet again one day." Luna's voice was soft but firm.

"Why do you want to tell me this? I don't want to..." Zooey resisted, she always felt that Luna was like a vine, entangled silently, and unknowingly, she went in and out with her for a few months She spends more time than anyone else, and you get used to her presence easily, because she also walks by Zoe's side like a matter of course, talking to her naturally, even after they have a bad time.

Alarm bells sounded in Zooey's heart. Although she was willing to pay and change for them in her interactions with Draco and Hermione, she always held a certain degree in her heart. She examined them and judged whether they would It would hurt her, she moved forward while probing, and was ready to withdraw at any time - Zoe erected a wall in front of her, she tried to open her heart and accept a few people, but those people had to go through her first Confirmation, absolute safety guaranteed.

Especially when she recalled the sins she committed, she even thought carefully about cutting off all ties.It's just that she is too reluctant, she has experienced the warm feeling, and she doesn't want to go back to the corner without light.She doesn't care what other people think, as long as those she thinks are important don't leave...

But now she has always been cautious like a joke, Luna ignored all obstacles and stood in front of this wall, she is not like Hermione, Hermione is enthusiastic but more measured, she will not probe Zoe's wound , as long as Zooey showed pain.Hermione would wait for Zoe to tell her, and until then she would stay in the closest place to her, waiting and supporting her.

But Luna Lovegood, the girl she couldn't see through.Her attitude is like they have been good friends for decades, and they can talk about everything. She never grasps the distance that should exist between people, and speaks directly, no matter what the relationship between the other party and her is. .But this kind of intimacy seems unconscious, comfortable and natural, and it will stop at the place where it should stop, so that Zoe will not feel offended, and then continue to deepen after Zoe gets used to it.Until Zooey came back to her senses, she found that Luna was too close to her heart.

And Zooey didn't have this plan originally, and her relationship with Luna has become so good.She felt like everything was spiraling out of control.

"But I don't think it's anything, you won't talk nonsense with other people."

"You talk to everyone like that?"

"Only with whom I think I can trust."

"You're so trusting! We've only known each other for a few months!"

She could see that Luna wasn't confused at all, she trusted Zoe, a senior she had only known for a few months, a potential dark wizard and murderer (although she didn't know this yet), a girl who refused her offer The roommate who got mad at her.It is precisely because of Luna's trust that she was able to pass Zoe's defense. Even Hermione only gradually trusted her in the process of interacting with her.That's the right way to relate to people - oh my god, but Luna can open her heart before knowing someone at all.Of course you can be wary of a man in full armor, because you are too, but how can you be wary of a hostage who is completely naked and has his hands raised high?

Zooey doesn't want to express her opinion now, she still needs to think carefully.

"Have you noticed? Gryffindor Seat, there is a girl who has been looking at you." Luna suddenly pushed her and said.

Zooey flicked, she naturally understood who it was and why.But she was a little scared to respond to her now, because she wasn't sure if Hermione was still mad at her.

******

One day last week, "Zoe, we need to talk." Hermione was like a brown whirlwind, and she blocked Zoe during the break between Ravenclaw classes, and before that Zoe had been consciously or unconsciously Avoid her.

Zoe followed her, and they took a long detour to a semi-abandoned bathroom on the second floor. Zoe knew it, it was very famous in Hogwarts - Moaning Myrtle used it as a stronghold, And they will harass every girl who comes here to use the toilet, pouring water on them jealously, or crying loudly to vent their pain.Over time, no girls are willing to come here anymore.

She was leaning against a dilapidated sink, watching Hermione amusedly as she walked around scratching her hair.

"what happened?"

"I believe the opening of the Chamber of Secrets has nothing to do with you." Hermione spoke quickly, "But you have to tell me that you know, we asked Professor Binns, and he said that the Chamber of Secrets belonged to Salazar Slytherin, and the secret hidden in the Chamber of Secrets monster. I'm looking for the real heir, and I need your help!"

"We really should have found him sooner," Zoe thought, and she suddenly remembered that Salazar happened to be a staunch pure-blood. "Muggle-born wizards are very dangerous, and your life will be threatened."

"Please!" Hermione's face became even uglier after hearing this, "We don't know if this is a prank in the name of the Chamber of Secrets, or what the real prisoner wants... But in Before that, you should pay more attention to yourself, do you know that you are being rumored?"

"Of course, they told me perfectly with their attitude."

"Don't tell me you have no idea at all!" Hermione gritted her teeth, "You must clarify this misunderstanding, we need to find the culprit!"

"Why? It's unnecessary, I don't care, their opinions have nothing to do with me."

"Zoe, you have to understand, if this continues, if the same incident happens again, everyone will doubt you, and your position will become very dangerous!" Hermione held the edge of the sink with white knuckles, she was too hard up.

"If the Ministry of Magic gets involved..."

Just when Hermione thought she had made it clear enough that Zooey should pay attention to it, she got a pale smile, and Zooey laughed at herself.

"It's a good excuse this time, if they want to, and it's not wrong, because I'm a monster and deserve to be hanged..."

"Snapped!"

Zooey covered her hot face and looked at the furious Hermione in shock. She gasped heavily, her right hand trembled slightly, and her left hand grabbed her right wrist, as if to stop herself from slapping Zooey again when she was excited.

"Then you're going to die!" Hermione roared, her eyes turning red.Zooey had never seen Hermione get so angry.Even Weeping Myrtle stopped crying, and was so frightened that she ran down the drain.

"Hermione..."

"I'm desperately wanting, wanting clarification - tell the people who programmed you, their mistake, tell them you're such a good person...make them think you can't possibly be the heir. Me and everyone Fighting...I told myself I had to correct them so they could see the real you...I even had a falling out with my roommates because they were hurting friends I valued..." Hermione grabbed Zoe by the collar , a drop of tear fell on the back of her hand, "But what are you doing when I'm fighting hard? You self-defeating bastard! You even gave up the chance to prove, how can you say that about yourself?! Don't I know Zuo What kind of man is E. Siegel? Our time together is not a lie!"

She spent a lot of willpower to restrain herself and desperately held back the bursting tears. Zooey knew that Hermione didn't want to show vulnerability in front of her, at least not now.

"I'm sorry I slapped you..." Hermione said dryly, her head bowed.Then ran away before Zooey could answer.
