Ravenclaw's Sapphire

When walking in the Muggle society, she always had a subtle feeling, a feeling that she was out of tune with the people around her, but she still had to pretend to blend in with them naturally.But this was different from the sense of inferiority she had been carefully hiding all along, more like walking among different creatures, even though those Muggles didn't bother her.

However, according to the "International Statute of Secrecy", wizards must not disclose the secrets of the wizarding world to Muggles who are not related personnel. identified as exceptions.

Wizards who violate the regulations will be held accountable by the Ministry of Magic, and may even sit on the bench and become a member of Azkaban in the future.And those Muggles who are either lucky or unlucky, who have glimpsed a corner of the wizarding world but have no chance to enter, may also accept an irresistible "forget everything"-of course there are always exceptions to everything, but basically wizards Just like this, he was in the cracks of the Muggles, living happily in his own territory.

Most wizards are always conservative and old-fashioned. They are obsessed with those ancient commandments and maintain the purity of their own blood, which is the so-called pure-blood family.For many wizards, even if they are willing to accept Muggle-born wizards to join the wizarding society, it does not mean that they are willing to deeply understand the Muggle society.

She did a lot of homework before she set off, whether it was the historical process of the Muggle society that she heard in Professor Bubaji's class, or even actively subscribed to Muggle magazines and newspapers (sent by owls after many twists and turns) Come), for Muggles, what is common speech, words and deeds, and a series of dresses that can not arouse their suspicion have been carefully researched.

If some little thing goes wrong, it can lead to catastrophe after catastrophe. Human beings are suspicious creatures, it doesn't matter whether he is a wizard or a Muggle.And she just wanted to have a look around during the holidays, not to cause a lot of problems and end up being forced to bring in the Ministry of Magic handlers.

Even though she was a top student, the taint would still take a toll on her résumé.Even if she didn't know why she was obsessed with the perfect image on the surface.No, Max, you do know, she told herself directly, and smiled nonchalantly.

The residue of the most humble longing from the bottom of my heart is unnecessary and wrong.In fact, she only maintains this mask out of inertia, just to get more preferential treatment, to give herself the best protective color.

Even Professor Dumbledore knew she was in and out of the Forbidden Forest, and he must have had a vague sense that she was always smuggling them out.Didn't he just give her a warning?The status of a top student is the best protection, as long as she does not commit evil deeds that exceed people's bottom line (or does not expose her), they will desperately defend her.

She passed through the ticket gate of the platform smoothly, and just when she was about to follow the ticket number to find her own platform, she heard questions and quarrels from the ticket gate beside her.

If she had ignored the voice and left directly, what would have happened in the future?Maybe there is no change, just like a pool of stagnant water, no matter how the flames steam, they still can't evaporate it.

But at that time she turned her head back, and she couldn't ignore it. If the familiar senior sister did something she shouldn't do because of the dispute, she might be involved at the scene.

"Isn't this Margaret senior? You are also here to travel?"

She walked over before the girl erupted, smiled apologetically at the staff at the ticket gate, and naturally pulled the brand-new banknote from Margaret's hand, and helped her complete the formalities.

The staff member was also very uncomfortable because of Margaret's slow counting of the bills and her tough attitude, because Margaret didn't recognize the denomination of the bills, but was reluctant to hand over the Muggle currency to the staff , because she loves collecting this.

The two of them almost slapped the table. According to Margaret's personality, she would not keep silent just because someone yelled at her.But Max's appearance seemed to pour a basin of water directly on the anger of the two.The staff's anger dissipated because of the friendly attitude of a beautiful girl to him.

Margaret wanted to take advantage of the victory, but Max was unexpectedly tough this time, directly pulling her hand and dragging her through the ticket gate.

"Well, you're—ah, that sneaky Slytherin from last time..." she recalled for a few seconds, "I remember your name was Max Siegel."

"I'm glad you still remember me, Senior Margaret." She sighed, "It seems that you don't intend to comply with the International Statute of Secrecy at all."

She looked at Margaret's amazing outfit: colorful shirts and black leather jackets, the kind of style that underground rock stars would love, although Margaret didn't wear exaggerated makeup like those people, but Appearing in the downtown area still feels very weird, not like a decent person at all, but like a rebellious youth.That's why the staff member was impatient with her. You must know that Margaret's appearance is also very delicate.

But this outfit unexpectedly fits Margaret's look very well. Could it be that she chose the clothes intuitively?Max thought it was funny, but Margaret was clearly uncomfortable with her teasing look.

"What's the matter? I obviously matched the match according to the Muggle magazine. Why is there such a big difference in that guy's attitude?" Margaret scratched her hair irritably, and she turned her head to the ticket gate and made a "bah" Mouth.

"Because your clothes are not suitable for this occasion." She spoke to Margaret in a very familiar way, and she judged that this person would definitely not refuse the offer on the premise that she had just received her help. It is friendly, and it is also very beneficial to have a good relationship with a prefect from another courtyard.

Not to mention her faint admiration for Margaret in her heart, an alternative and self-styled way of living, which belongs to the possibility she had given up long ago.

"Where is the destination of senior sister?" I can't talk about luck or misfortune. She chose the current way of life. Although occasionally...but it actually provided her with a lot of convenience. hide in.

Margaret was taken away from the train ticket, and subconsciously wanted to get it back, but maybe it was because the attitude of the person who took it was too natural, as if they had been friends for many years; or maybe it was because Max's generous help just now saved me a lot of trouble - you must know that although she didn't plan to use spells and wands, Margaret would never ignore other people's provocations... She finally frowned and let Mike It worked.

"Great, Miss Margaret." Max smiled and returned the train ticket to her, then shook his hand, "Will you go with me?" The destination on it is clearly the same as Margot Ritter's is the same.

*****

The trip with Margaret was unexpectedly smooth.Although she has a tough and positive personality, Margaret is actually very able to listen to other people's opinions, and she is polite enough to treat strangers. This is probably because of her good family education.Wellington, as one of the pure-blood families with a long history, has its own rules and secrets. Of course, this is also true of any family.Because a family without background and hole cards can rarely preserve itself completely under the changes of history.

Almost all the trips were negotiated by Max, because she blended in more naturally in the Muggle world, and it was easier to gain the favor and respect of others. Think about it, talking to a beautiful girl who speaks elegantly and advances and retreats properly , is always a pleasant thing to do.

But Margaret did not hold back. Although she changed the overly eye-catching outfit under Max's persuasion, the new one would not make others think that she was a good girl, and she was still very rebellious.

Margaret comes in handy when conflict inevitably arises on the road, and she easily mingles with some equally rebellious-looking Muggles (who usually hate Max's "hypocrisy") ), even other ordinary Muggles are not polite to keep a distance when facing Margaret, but are more willing to hook her shoulders.

It was hard for Max to understand why she could get acquainted with their hitchhiking driver like they had known each other for decades in just a few minutes. became more silent.

"Muggles are really interesting."

The two got out of the car, and the driver waved back from time to time until he disappeared. Margaret smiled happily and said with emotion.

"Does my sister like Muggles?" This is a rare thing for pure blood.

"Yeah, I like it very much. Although my family thinks there is something wrong with me like this. I also took Muggle studies as an elective. I have to say that Professor Bubbaji is a very discerning professor." Margaret's attitude towards her was much gentler. Yes, maybe it was the colleagues during this period of time that made this girl regard Max as "one of her own".

"Even though we have many mysteries that they cannot understand, we never understand their technology. This is really a sad thing." Max's tone was tinged with sarcasm, "That's why wizards can only live in In the cracks, I still think that I am very noble."

"It doesn't matter, I haven't thought about it so much, I just think these guys are very interesting." Margaret scratched her head, "You speak like a Ravenclaw."

"Ravenclaw? That would be nice..."

"But the best house must be Gryffindor." Margaret proudly said that she had beaten Slytherin to nothing in the previous Quidditch House Cup.

But her attitude will not make Max unhappy, after all, she has never had the so-called sense of honor and belonging in the academy, even if Margaret pointed at her nose and said bad things about Slytherin, she would probably be able to smile the whole time to finish listening.

Although Margaret would never be so boring.

"However, my previous impression of Slytherin was indeed a bit extreme." Margaret's sudden words made her stunned, and she didn't know why she said that.

Margaret frowned, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she could see that she was very uncomfortable with what she was about to say: "Slytherin is not without good guys."

"Why do you say that?"

But Margaret glared at her angrily, her eyes seemed to be asking "Why would you ask such a stupid question", or she felt that she was deliberately trying to tease her, and she was about to explode.

So Max could only look at her innocently, and to be honest, she really didn't understand.You must know that the grudges between Gryffindor and Slytherin almost go back to the generation of the founders of the two houses.

"...Are you an idiot? Because I don't make friends with people I don't agree with, understand?" Margaret whispered, speaking quickly, "And the ones I agree with are only the best ones .”

Hearing this sentence, she was in a trance.

It seems that the effect of this trip was unexpectedly good (or the other party was unexpectedly innocent), so good that even the proud Margaret skipped the "insider" and regarded her as a "friend".But of course she wasn't unhappy about it, she was more or less happy about it.Even if countless people have boasted in my ears, it is always a joy to be recognized by people who are as good as myself.

She just looked at Margaret, kept looking, and smiled before she became angry.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm almost in love with Gryffindor."
