Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Percy led the freshmen to the Gryffindor lounge, and Harry looked around, as if trying to engrave every scene in his heart.The escalator that moved automatically, the characters in the painting walking around in the picture frame, and the fat lady's password-he looked greedily at everything, these things had never appeared in his life in the past ten years.

Through the doorway, Percy arranged for them to go to the dormitory, even though it was a room for five people, and there were five large soft beds-the crimson flannel drapes made them look very noble-but they would not feel crowded, Is this also due to the effect of the spell?Harry found the bed that belonged to him, and sank into the bed, thinking wildly.

"Hey, Harry!" Ron ran over muttering, with an anxious look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Harry looked at his new friend.

"I can't believe it! That girl, that defiant guy on the train, is actually Zoe Siegel!" He shuddered in fear, "I'm still talking back to her, if she does something evil Cursed me into a frog, goodness, it's a good thing she didn't pull out her wand then!"

"Then you must be a noisy frog!" Seamus, who was in the dormitory, made a face, and he joined the topic, "Hey, to be honest, I heard that Zoe Siegel's real body is actually a vampire, Maybe she'll suck you up!"

"That's right, the version I heard is different, but what I'm sure of is that she's dangerous." Dean shrugged, "Neville, have you heard any good ideas?"

The chubby boy shook his head desperately, his face was pale, it seemed that the small dispute on the train frightened him.

Their exaggerated performance amused Harry, but he became even more puzzled: "What I want to ask is, who is Zoe Siegel? Why does everyone seem to regard her as a problem person?" The accident at the ceremony was still brooding.

"Harry, none of us should have anything to do with her. God, I didn't know Hogwarts would take Zoe Siegel!" Ron exclaimed.

"Okay, okay, then maybe you guys can help me out? I don't understand anything, I'm the only one who is confused like a fool in the conversation!" Harry said angrily.

"Zoe Siegel is a pure-blood wizard," said Ron.

"The Siegel family has a history of at least hundreds of years. They are noble, powerful, conceited, and good at black magic. My mother said that there have been many great wizards in this family." Seamus continued.

"They are all lunatics who are crazy about pursuing the unknown and creating! Especially the previous head, Max Siegel, she is a super genius. She has created many inventions when she was at Hogwarts, and her thesis has aroused widespread discussion. , and at the same time, she is a powerful wizard with rich practical experience!" Even Dean joined in.

"But... this woman, who has attracted so much attention, joined the Mysterious Man's camp without even thinking about it when he rose up." Neville was afraid to say that word, "She is an out-and-out Death Eater .”

"And Zoe Siegel was born not long before You-Know-Who lost power, when the Aurors who hunted her brought Zoe back after killing Max. And everyone knows that the relationship between Max Siegel and You-Know-Who Intimacy!" Ron swallowed, fear in his eyes.

"Zoe Siegel. She is the daughter of You-Know-Who."

"It's great, I'm living alone again."

Even Zooey herself didn't know what kind of emotion she was hiding when she said this sentence when she saw the empty dormitory.

As always, everyone kept her distance, as if she had some deadly germ on her.From a very young age, Zooey understood that even people who greeted her kindly, as long as she revealed her real name, they would leave her without hesitation.

One second they could sit together laughing and chatting, but the next second they could only be alone.And this kind of encounter has nothing to do with what kind of person Zoe is, it's just because of her identity, because of the identity of the person who may be her father.

Only the Malfoy family, because of family friends with the Siegel family, or because of something else—Zoe even heard rumors that Lucius had loved her mother—brought comfort to Zoe when she was a child.

Just because they were afraid of a dead person, they could make no secret of their suspicion of Zoe.Since she was a child, she had to report to the Ministry of Magic once a week—sometimes even less than a week—to undergo lengthy inspections and tests, and to be forced to accept her fate under the trial of adult wizards, while her whereabouts were censored. Many people watched.Until now, she has got rid of the period of powerlessness in the past, but the cold eyes of those people behind the lens seem to be engraved on the soul, as long as she thinks about it, Zooey will be afraid.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's argument in a certain judgment, and offered to be her guardian, he had always protected her.She might encounter a long-planned "accident" one day, or spend the rest of her life in the notorious Azkaban, and there will be no more Zoe Siegel in the world.

Dumbledore's full guarantee made him have a bad reputation among some big figures in the Ministry of Magic. They are all people who want to find an excuse to clean up the burden of Zoe.They even started to take the initiative to find fault with Dumbledore at some point, and wanted an excuse to revoke some of his honors.

Obviously as long as you surrender yourself, you can save everything.But Dumbledore even won her the right to go to school, and Zoe could even imagine the collapsed face of the new Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, but he hadn't fully controlled the Ministry of Magic when he just took office, and he needed Dumbledore's Prestige, so they will compromise.

Although she is very grateful to Dumbledore, Zoe still doesn't understand why he must come to Hogwarts to study by herself. She is very smart and talented. Even if she doesn't go to school, she can become a good enough wizard.Zooey had imagined that when she mastered the power, she would go to a place where no one could find her, instead of being looked at by others with strange eyes like a monster like now.

Time will not stop for anything.A week passed in the blink of an eye.

She hadn't even spoken to any of the students except Draco, although she hadn't made much of a difference in interpersonal relationships among her peers.But in the eyes of the teachers, despite those prejudices, Zoe Siegel is really a very good student.

Zoe has a very good talent for magic. Even in Ravenclaw, which is known for its wisdom, she can be regarded as the best batch. In Charms class, she was the first to successfully release Professor Flitwick Spells, more than that, she even tried to improve the spells, by changing one or two syllables to achieve more efficient spellcasting-this may not be a difficult skill for experienced wizards, but you must know that Zoe She is only a first-year freshman—no matter what course the professor is in, she has to agree that she is a genius. Even if it is a boring history of magic, she can complete the whole subject after Professor Binns' dry and tasteless teaching. A retelling of what he said.

Within a week of enrolling, Zoe added five points to Ravenclaw by virtue of her excellent performance in class.And there is probably only one other outstanding student who can make such a contribution in the first year: Hermione Granger of Gryffindor House.

Their first official meeting after enrollment was in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.Almost at the same time, they achieved the deformation of the match, and that was the only success in the whole class. Professor McGonagall did not hold back his appreciation, and each added a point for the two houses.

Although this would make many people unbelieve, Dumbledore did not give Zoe a magical initiation. In fact, Zoe didn't even have the right to chant spells before entering school.The Ministry of Magic was too afraid of her identity, fearing that giving her a wand would give birth to a second mysterious person. The knowledge she came into contact with was strictly monitored, and she could only read literature-type books.Although she is very talented, her starting point is no different from others, and she even held the wand later than Draco.

But even so, Zooey is absolutely confident in her talents.She thought she was no worse than anyone else, since she couldn't actually operate it, she simulated the structure and effect of the spell in her head, analyzed and calculated it on parchment, and used her brain between the lines in the book.Even under the cover of the Malfoy family's secrecy, during the years when the Ministry of Magic let down its vigilance because of her meekness, she was able to occasionally take advantage of the loopholes in the regulations, develop potions by herself, and even get some magical items.

Academically, Zooey is conceited, but now there are peers who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

In particular, this person even cast a spell faster than her in a certain spell class.Looking at Hermione who accepted Flitwick's praise, there was indeed an emotion called a sense of crisis in Zooey's heart.

Hermione Granger.Hermione Granger.Zoe recalled the pronunciation.

I thought it was just a familiar stranger, but it seems that I have to work harder.
