Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"I thought you were going to argue with them!" Before Margaret could open her mouth, Hermione said in a hurry, and she could hear her disapproving tone, "But what have you done! I When I rushed over with the professor, the whole lounge was a mess, and the colloids still had an unpleasant smell!"

"It's useless, Hermione. I know very well that these people don't listen to a word at all. They think it's funny to tease others, and they naturally like to reject people who are different from themselves." Zoe said, "You don't understand this feeling, do you?"

Hermione choked, but still insisted on her opinion: "Anyway, Zoe, this is a bit too much. You must know that your behavior will affect the scores of Ravenclaw House, and you can't just rely on it for a while. Get up and do something!"

"I'm curious, Miss Granger." At this time, Margaret, who had been watching, asked, "Since you know that your friend's behavior will be deducted for this, why did you take the initiative to report it and drag me to it?" What about the scene? You know, even if it’s only for one year, I’m still a faculty member. This kind of behavior is called ‘snitching’ in the eyes of the students, and it’s a very uncomfortable behavior.”

Hermione didn't answer right away, she glanced at Zoe unconsciously first, thinking about how to answer better.But Zooey spoke first: "Professor, I asked her to find you."

"You sent her to come to me?" repeated Margaret.

Zoe nodded: "Among the teaching staff, first of all, it is impossible for me to find someone who will obviously think that I made a mistake. Professor McGonagall is too strict, and her fairness here will only make Ravenclaw's score worse. Worse - know that both sides of the conflict belong to the same house. Professor Flitwick may call the shots for us, but for the same reason, he will be very difficult to do, and in the end it will just let those guys get away with it. As for the others Professor I don't think I can achieve the best results, Professor Sprout is very gentle, and Professor Snape - oh my god, I will let him deal with this unless my brain is flooded matter……"

"So you think I'll give you a satisfactory answer? Why do you feel this way?" Margaret suddenly sneered, "You think you're sure of winning and you think you can grasp all the elements?"

Hermione thought she was angry, and subconsciously grabbed Margaret's robe, showing an anxious expression. It was she who called Margaret over. If Zoe suffered a more severe punishment because of this, she would only Hate yourself.

But Margaret didn't even look at her, she just looked straight at Zooey, full of oppression, waiting for her to answer.

"I thought you were a hater." Zoe said, without avoiding Margaret's eyes, "You are not the kind of person who advocates peaceful coexistence and keeps both sides of the battle unharmed. Because you always Acting for your own justice, you don't care about what others think, and you can easily take sides—as long as you feel that perception is true."

Of course, she also has something to say.For example, she thinks that Margaret is the kind of person who is not afraid to punish others with violence. Looking at her deeds after she took office and when she was a student, you can know how unruly she is, not like a scholar at all. Rather like a ranger.

Zooey will come to her only because Margaret will deduct her points in the end, but she will never let those students go. If she can be sweeter, she will move Margaret, and even Points will not be deducted.

"Yeah, I quite agree with this point. It is always meaningful to let bad children suffer, at least let some people know what pain is..." Margaret nodded, with the oppressive atmosphere on her body Slightly dispersed, "And I have to say I like Luna very much."

Luna, who was suddenly named by her, showed a flattered expression and touched her nose shyly.

"I have one last question, Siegel." She looked at her with eyes that seemed to be able to see through the soul, "Why didn't you choose to exert influence from the side and choose to directly interfere with this matter? Even if Luna is your roommate , is your friend, but what you have to know is that once you get into trouble, the worst thing will be your own situation."

Zooey didn’t know why she said that. "I mean, you can handle this matter in a smarter way, why use the stupidest one to get ahead?" Margaret asked persistently.

"Even if you ask me why... I just think I should do this, just like what Luna and the others did for me before, I just repay her friendship like that, there is no special reason."

"Really..." Margaret thought for a moment, then walked over and squatted down, "If it was you, you would directly interfere."

"What?" Zooey couldn't figure out what she meant, but found that there was a shadow in her eyes, and Margaret actually put her hand on her head, and with a little force, her hairstyle was messed up.

"Nice job, Zoe!" Margaret started calling her name directly again.She patted Zooey on the shoulder, and under Hermione's dumbfounded gaze, she gave Zooey a thumbs up.

*****

"She really doesn't look like a professor at all!" Until Margaret left for a long time, Hermione was still complaining to them. They were sitting in an empty classroom in the main building. Because of the previous dispute, Zoe and the others Can't go back to the lounge right away.

"Yeah, that's why I can only ask her for this matter." Zooey said with a smile, she is very proud now, because Margaret actually gave her ten points before leaving.

This also made Hermione very dissatisfied, not just because Zoe got the score, but because her thinking mode was more inclined to Professor McGonagall's, that is, to judge the behavior of both parties.Although she was unhappy with what the four of them did, she also felt that Zoe had gone too far.

"But what do the professor's words mean? She seems to have a special concern for Zoe." Luna held Margaret's signature board contentedly, knowing that flying lessons are only offered in first grade This time, she finally seized the opportunity to ask Margaret for three signature boards.

"I feel like she's comparing me with someone, but I don't know if this feeling is right." What Zoe didn't say was that she obviously felt that Margaret's attitude towards her was complicated. It was looking for someone's shadow in her body, and resisting seeing that person's shadow in himself.

Zoe felt similar feelings in someone before, and that person was Lucius Malfoy.In this way, the people Margaret pays attention to are taken for granted. You must know that she and Max are almost exactly the same in terms of appearance.

Zooey didn't know which kind of loss this sudden surge in her heart belonged to, whether it was because she might be a substitute for Max in Margaret's eyes, or because she hoped that Margaret's kindness to her belonged to herself This expectation was in vain.

But it was all very unpleasant anyway.But Zoe found that she vaguely felt that Margaret's focus was different from Lucius'.This feeling is purely a subconscious intuition, perhaps because Margaret has never been confused when looking at her. When her figure is reflected in Margaret's eyes, Zoe will feel that she exists there of.

Hermione over there was still complaining to Luna in a low voice about what happened to them when they went to the Ravenclaw lounge: "Actually, I should have felt that something was wrong at the time. Professor Margaret just glanced at the scene and asked the people around What happened—of course she also asked the four people—and in the end she used a spell to freeze the goo and smashed the ice—almost knocking a student's arm off with it." Herr Min frowned, and when she finally realized the reality of Margaret's plan to cover up Zoe, her expression remained like this.

"I should have noticed it at the time," she repeated, "she told those people to go to Madam Pomfrey to deal with it first, and then asked the people in the lounge one by one not to spread the matter, saying that she would Dealing with it - I didn't know Ravenclaw had her fans, some of them were still dazed after talking to her, and those who came over with books and asked for autographs... she must have been from the beginning Going to do it."

Hermione sighed, the matter has come to an end, since a professor has already dealt with it, although she is not satisfied, she will still respect the other party's decision, unless she really hates that professor.But even for Snape, she almost never took the initiative to make things difficult because of those deliberately making things difficult.

"Have you sent your owl away, Zoe?" Luna asked her.

"Not yet, think about it and hurry up. Even if it's Lloyd, maybe it won't be delivered before tonight."

"Then can you bring me two more autograph boards?"

"Two pictures?"

"Yeah, for my dad and mom." Zooey thought about the fact that Luna's mother had passed away, but Luna obviously didn't feel that it was a very sad thing to mention her, even though she must have had a long time because of it. low period.

"I can try... Lloyd may be a little unhappy, but I will try to appease him." Fortunately, the two signature boards are not very thick.

The three walked and chatted all the way, and Hermione finally felt relieved about the matter when they reached the owl hut (in fact, she was really uncomfortable with the behavior of those people), she comforted Luna, and expressed her gratitude to Luna. The three of them happily accepted that they would do their homework together in the library.

Lloyd was really a little unhappy, because Zoe didn't tell him to add extra goods, so he pecked at Zoe's finger, but under Zoe's repeated love-caress, he was still willing to bring more something.

The Halloween party really made people feel happy. The house elves used their housekeeping skills to make a very sumptuous dinner. The decorations made by the professors on the ceiling of the hall were also extremely dazzling. Zoe could see hundreds of jack-o-lanterns in the hall. Flying in the air, the will-o'-the-wisp burning strangely inside, and the bats fluttering across the low sky, but the students really don't need to worry about being bitten on the neck, because those are safe enough.

Zoe is enjoying herself, she's barely had the chance to enjoy the Halloween party so far.In the middle of eating in the first grade, a troll broke into the school; in the second grade, she skipped the party and ran to the Forbidden Forest.Finally in third grade, she had a full dinner party.

She and Luna were well fed, and even with some pleasant and unpleasant events, the Halloween dinner would have been a perfect end to the day—if not for what happened afterward.
