Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"I have nothing to say to you, please go back."

Parvati's face was ugly, she sat in the corner of the auditorium, facing Zoe's request, she refused without hesitation.

"Why do you think I'll help you? After you've caused us so much harm?" Almost obliquely said Zoe, "You have a thick skin", Parvati sneered, "And Hermione Granger , because she was hurt, you know you are afraid? How did you tell me at that time? How did you sprinkle salt on my wound? Didn’t you think I made a fuss, didn’t you think my sister’s life and death didn’t matter, didn’t you laugh at me Do you mean it? Then why should I tell you the time of action before Hermione was attacked? Who do you think you are!"

She wanted to stand up and leave, and Lavender, who had been watching this side, also stood up quickly. She had sat at a table not far from her because of Parvati's request, but she seemed restless. Zoe looked like she might attack her friend at any moment.

Zoe immediately stood up and grabbed Parvati's arm. Her face was not good, and Parvati obviously didn't intend to leave her any room.Zooey weighed in her heart for a moment, and when Parvati looked at her angrily, she lowered her head deeply.

"I'm sorry, Parvati. Please forgive me for my previous offense. I shouldn't ignore your pain at that time and continue to hurt you. Now I finally understand what kind of panic it was, just when my friend was with me In front of me... I lost consciousness, my body became icy cold... I don't expect you to change your bad impression of me, because it was caused by me alone, but I want to catch the prisoner who caused everything, so that he can also experience it The pain in our hearts - I need your help, Parvati, please!"

Parvati was surprised. These words sounded very sincere, which completely overturned the ruthless impression she had of Zoe in her mind—Parvati thought it was ridiculous and smart for Hermione's cover-up behavior all the time. Miss Granger had at last erred in the matter.Parvati never thought Zoe was a normal kid. She rarely socialized with others, and she didn't seem to have many close friends. She always talked with people at a distance, which made Parvati feel that she was very hypocritical.

But now that Zoe is standing in front of her, in front of everyone—there are more than the three of them in the auditorium—making such a sincere apology, Parvati suddenly feels that the sense of distance and distortion that Zoe gave her has disappeared. Less, which makes her look more like a real human being than an unbelievable fake.

She did value Hermione, Parvati could feel it, because she had felt similarly because of Padma's injury.Hermione wasn't giving with enthusiasm, at least the other side wasn't indifferent.Even though Parvati and Hermione had a quarrel, she was relieved by it.

"What do you want to ask?" Parvati sat down again, and she decided to give Zoe a chance.

"Hermione and Luna were not killed at the same time." Zooey told the boys, "I have heard the testimony of Hermione's roommates, and they said that Hermione went back to the dormitory to sleep at night."

"What does that prove?" Harry asked.

"Luna is my roommate. She didn't go back to sleep that night. I think she must have found something, and then sneaked into the bathroom at night. After the investigation, she will find a chance to return to the dormitory." Zooey clenched her fists. , "But she couldn't do it, because she was attacked in that bathroom that night. The prisoner didn't kill her, but left her in the bathroom until the next morning... Hermione was the first found her."

"What? Hermione found out?" Ron was shocked, "And wait, what do you mean someone attacked? Someone attacked a student at Hogwarts! Wasn't that Luna attacked by a basilisk?"

"I don't know who that person is. It might be the real heir, but that's not the point. Please don't interrupt me, Weasley." Zoe glanced at Ron disapprovingly, "We all know Hermione is very disciplined, Although she is not afraid to break the rules, she will not break it when it is not necessary, especially after the professors told us not to run around at night. She slept in the dormitory and got up early the next day, really It was very early, when almost no one else got up, and her roommate also said that she was almost woken up and hummed a few words."

"Then Hermione went to the bathroom on the second floor and found Luna - Luna had a vigilance badge on her, and I think the wizard who attacked her disabled the sound, but he didn't remove the light from the badge, so I can find them."

"Did she find Luna and was attacked too?"

"No, she was undoubtedly attacked by the basilisk, and all the symptoms match the damage caused by the basilisk." Zooey looked at the two boys, "Now let's think carefully about why the two girls go to each other one after the other. The lavatory? The lavatory on the second floor is dominated by weeping myrtle, and the girls almost never use it because they get watery."

Harry felt his voice come from his chest: "They will go to that bathroom...the only reason is that they found something wrong, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in that bathroom!"

"That's right. The reason why Hermione was attacked was because the basilisk was moving around and happened to attack her!" Ron was very happy, "We caught that man's tail!"

"Okay, gentlemen, we have to inform the professors." Zoe waved her hand, "I wanted to ask Dumbledore for help, but they took him away." She bit her lip and said angrily.

"That's right, we can't just go to the secret room with just three kids, we should ask the professors for help." Harry agreed, "We can gather in front of the bathroom on the second floor!"

*****

The two boys left, they walked fast, busy looking for the patrolling professor.Zooey stayed in the principal's room alone, she huddled in her chair and thought for a long time.She has spent the past few days in anxiety and self-blame.The murders of Hermione and Luna were all because of her. If it wasn't for her giving up, if she was willing to take the initiative to investigate with Luna and Hermione, they might not have such a terrible encounter.

Hermione was right, she ran away when they were fighting valiantly for their honor, she gave up.She thinks that others will not change their opinion of her no matter what, so she will not change others from the beginning, even if it is just the most basic way to express her heart to others, she cannot do it.In Zoe's world, everyone is frozen, they will not change, and neither will they themselves. The stain is always a lifetime. Even if you show your favor, it will only arouse the fear of others. Isn't this the truth? ?

So she also refused to give her sincerity, and it was enough for most people to be perfunctory.When Parvati rejected her, he took it for granted, logically speaking, she should stop, because no matter how hard he tried, Parvati would not change his dislike of her, so in order to protect himself, he should not pursue it Go down, so as not to tear your face.

But when Zooey thought of Hermione and Luna lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and all she could do for them was find the criminal, she didn't know what was going on with her, so she turned to Parvati After talking a lot, when she came to her senses, Parvati sat down again and gave her another chance.

She also remembered that after the conversation, Parvati looked back at her as he was about to leave, and his tone was awkward.

"Although I don't know what kind of person you are until now, at least...I apologize for the thing that I thought you were the heir before. You are a victim just like us. I'm sorry, Siegel." Lavender left.

Is the way she's been acting in isolation all this time wrong?But the feeling of giving your heart and being hurt again is hopeless.So what exactly is right?Zoe hasn't been able to find the answer to this question yet

But now there is obviously no room to think about this matter, and there are more important things to do.Zooey stood up and left Dumbledore's office without hesitation.
