Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Is there anything else you want to explain?" Zooey's tone was cold, and she took two steps forward, unconsciously protecting Luna behind her.

"who are you?"

"I'm the owner of the book you 'accidentally' scribbled on and threw away, and I'm also Luna's roommate."

Zooey saw the faces of the four people change again and again. It seemed that they had already remembered the insulting graffiti and words they had written on other people's books before.At that time, Zoe used the Flying Curse, and after taking back the Transfiguration textbook, she flipped through it and saw that several pages were scrawled with a lot of dirty words.And those words all point to Luna, even "crazy girl" is just the most common insult.

"What's going on, Zoe? Doodling on the textbook?" Luna looked over in shock. At that time, Zoe erased the graffiti without explaining to her.Although it was the first time she heard the news, Luna cooperated with what happened just now, and quickly understood the general situation.

"We're not talking about you!" They all know that Luna's roommate is a senior student, and it's very unwise to provoke a senior student who looks very good here, and Luna is the first to talk to Luna among the four cried the girl.

"However, in the end, you offended my friends and angered me." Zoe pulled out her wand, which made the low-grade students who were already guilty of conscience nervous for a while, thinking that she was going to teach them a lesson, and hurriedly threw herself They pulled out their wands, and one of them almost threw his wand on the ground because his hand was shaking when he drew it.

Although the second grade had no access to knowledge related to real duels, Zoe's duel club last year was just a gimmick and funny trick of Gilderoy Lockhart.The real dueling teaching is generally only available in higher grades.

"All petrified!" A beam of light shot out from Zoe's staff, but the purpose was only to intimidate. The spell exploded under the feet of the four people, forcing the two people in the front to back away quickly, clinging to each other like a group of frightened foxes. Together.

"You can't pull a cane at us in the lounge! This is against the school rules!" One of the boys shouted palely, and they didn't expect the other party to have a disagreement, so they did it directly.The best solution at this time is of course to sincerely apologize to Luna, but the stubbornness of young people is always unreasonable, even if they may be beaten up, they cannot be subdued until they are really afraid.

There were also people who tried to fight back, but their skills were horrible, and they couldn't even aim their heads. The power of spells is closely related to the spirit. Under the large fluctuations in the mood of wizards, not only the level of spellcasting will change, but even because of the hand. Without the coordination of the wand, the magic can go out of control (which can happen even with a wand, depending on the situation), although this is more common in minors.These Ravenclaw students are now flustered and confused, and the power of magic is naturally greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Zoe was able to use more powerful magic than usual because of her anger and passion. The previous petrification spell even made a small dent on the hard stone floor. You must know that the petrification spell The effect of does not include this.

"Zoe, that's enough." Luna also said to her, "I, I don't mind..." She didn't want Zoe to be punished by school rules for her own affairs, and Filch would not care about violations. What kind of student is he, he will happily punish everyone who breaks the rules.

"This has nothing to do with you, Luna. I'm just dissatisfied because some dirty words were written in my book." Zooey said in a firm tone without looking at her.

But Zoe's purpose is not really to teach those people with spells under the watchful eyes of others. Knowing that she did this, many people will find reasons to think that she is a dangerous person.She first got the four of them together, and then shot a spell from between the sticks, hitting the small pink ball that rolled to the feet of the four at some point.

The sticky ball belongs to a kind of prank props that will explode after being violently squeezed by external force, or suffer a strong impact, and then release a large amount of glue accumulated inside. It will only activate its effect after receiving a certain degree of force, and it doesn't matter even if it is pinched with a little force.

But if its surface was hit by a deliberate spell, it would have the same effect as being thrown hard to the ground.A large amount of pink glue exploded from the small sphere, splashing a large area around it in an instant, not to mention the four people in the center, and even the onlookers who were a little closer were drawn in.

"My God! What is this!"

"Help! I'm stuck!"

"What's the matter with these pink glue, it's so sticky, why does it still smell?!"

There were screams one after another in the lounge, and the four junior students were in the most miserable situation, because one of them subconsciously grabbed his companion when he slipped backwards, and the two of them were lying on a large piece of glue. Among them, the hands and feet could not move, and the person below had to bear the weight of his companion, and was almost out of breath.The remaining two people were also very uncomfortable, with the glue splashed directly on the table and stuck to the sleeves of their robes, they could only use all their strength, sweating profusely, trying to pull their arms off the table .

Combine that with the disgusting pink goo (and the pungent smell after actually using it) that splatters on them and their clothes, and it's hilarious.It is said that Muggles have a tool specially used to catch mice or cockroaches, and what is disguised under the outer packaging is a similar kind of sticky insect glue full of traps.

"Hmph." Zooey put away her wand in satisfaction, picked up Luna who was still a little confused, and quickly ran away from the Ravenclaw lounge.

*****

"Wait, wait, Zoe!"

The two walked together for a long time, and the lounge was long gone. Luna's arm was so painful, but she found that Zoe had no intention of stopping at all, so she could only speak helplessly.

Zooey stopped as she said, but she was still angry, "Why didn't you tell me? Do you have to know that I will be happy?"

"What?" Luna's puzzled expression did not seem to be fake.

"Tell me that you are being squeezed out by those people! Tell me that you are being bullied by others!" Zoe said, "Last year you encouraged me, supported me, and went around for my innocence. Don't you think I don't Do you get angry when your friend gets hurt?"

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised. I didn't expect you to care so much." Luna said blankly, as if she didn't really know Zoe until today, "but...Actually, actually, I just found out Turns out they hate me so much—I mean, I thought it was me who dropped the book.” She added awkwardly, “Because I do lose things sometimes, and usually It's all unconscious."

Zooey blinked, with an expression of "you must be joking with me", but Luna looked at her helplessly but sincerely, expressing that everything she said was true.

The two stood facing each other like this, time seemed to be frozen, but it seemed like only a moment had passed: Zoe's pale cheeks suddenly turned red, and even her ears were blood red, the astonishing heat even Luna Can feel it.Zoe's body was trembling, and it was the first time in her life that she stood up for others, but the person told her "I didn't realize I was being bullied"?

Zooey slid slowly against the wall, and finally buried her head between her knees, curled herself up, her body trembling with shame.Seeing this situation, compared to feeling guilty, Luna thought it was funny at first, and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, she held back, otherwise she didn't know what Zoe, who had reached her limit, would do to her—such as a powerful oblivion spell—Luna lightly touched Zoe's shoulder.

"Go away." Zooey said sullenly, "I want to apply for you to move out of my room."

"That's impossible, that's my room too."

"I feel like a fool for doing unflattering things."

"Then do you regret it?" Luna asked softly.

Zooey raised her head, her face was still astonishingly red, she murmured twice silently: "Did you speak, Zooey?" Luna asked with an innocent expression.

Zooey glared at her bitterly. Luna's words and deeds often made her feel that there was a subtle malice hidden in it. She didn't even know which ones were her natural ones and which ones were her deliberate ones. "...No."

"Really?" A smile slowly broke out on the girl's face, more sincere than ever before, and Luna held her hands in her heart, "Thank you, Zoe. I'm very happy, really. Thank you for standing up for me , this is why other than my parents care so much about me..."

"I didn't do this for you..." Zooey was still talking hard, she felt very embarrassed, but if she just accepted Luna's thanks, it seemed that she would embarrass Luna. It was like exposing, "I hate those uneducated guys, just take you a little... Don't listen to those people talking nonsense, I think you are fine now."

Compared with people like her who just passively accept everything and don't know where the future is, people with their own goals and persistence are so dazzling and shining.Being thanked by them, being treated kindly by them, and being relied on by them, it seems that I can also shine and become full of hope, which is very exciting.

"But we can't go back, lounge." Luna sighed, and sat down beside Zooey, "I forgot to bring out my homework."

"It's okay, someone will help us deal with this matter, but I may directly take a [-]-point penalty for disrupting the order in the lounge..."

"Yeah, I'm glad you have the idea of ​​being willing to take responsibility, Siegel." A female voice that could not be heard sounded from beside her, accompanied by the sound of multiple footsteps.The two looked up, and Margaret stood aside with her hips thrust into the side with a half-smile, followed by Hermione who was running out of breath.
