Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Breaking up with Ron was such a thrill for Hermione, she spent a week in the Gryffindor common room with a straight face, promising to see her face straight away if she ran head-on with the two boys. Bad face.Harry, as the unlucky implicated person in the trio, Hermione didn't talk to him very much, because after hearing the whole story, he decided to stand by Ron's side and comfort his friend who lost his pet.

Although he didn't alienate Hermione because of this, and often made efforts to reconcile the two, Hermione always felt betrayed, which aggravated her bad temper.According to what Lavender and the others accidentally revealed, she can be regarded as just pretending to leave Crookshanks and her own books and notes, because Ron once deliberately yelled loudly in the lounge (in front of Hermione's) He said that he must take the opportunity to fix Crookshanks in order to avenge his Scabbers, although Harry thought Ron was just trying to have a good time, but Hermione obviously didn't think so.

"Does she think of herself as the mother of that crazy cat? Carry it with her everywhere." Ron said to Harry when he cut the mouse's tail in a potions class.

Snape was still full of hatred for the students of Gryffindor House. Even though he had been slightly contradicted by Zoe once because of Hermione, he still liked to find various excuses to deduct Gryffindor points.For example, Hermione will always help Neville when he is at a loss (because he is always clumsy and can't make his own potion), and he will have the opportunity to "meddling his own business" to detain Hermione. Min's divided.

In the past, Harry and Ron had always been angry with Snape because of this, but now they didn't express their anger. Ron was out of anger, and Harry didn't want to make Ron angry.Although he could see that Ron actually cared when Snape made things difficult for Hermione, because he accidentally cut off the mouse's head, but he would never compromise with Hermione.

Hermione spends less time in the lounge, and now she almost always chooses to take Crookshanks to the library. Mrs. Pince is very reluctant to let a cat haunt the library. Hermione has repeatedly explained to her that Crookshanks Keshan will never cause trouble and will keep quiet, and finally Mrs. Pince tells her that if her cat violates the rules once, the library will reject it forever in the future.

Fortunately, after several days in a row, Crookshanks is really good, it always likes to lie on the table, facing the side near the window (although there is almost no sunlight now) to take a nap, or take its brush like The thick tail sweeps over the books, very leisurely.Even when it saw Zooey, it didn't rush towards her like it just started school or some time ago, and its attitude was very gentle.

"Are there any problems with your hands, Zoe?" Hermione looked apologetically at the back of Zoe's hand, which was as smooth as before, and it was completely impossible to see that Crookshanks had severely left marks on it.

When Crookshanks attacked her, Hermione was terrified. She really felt that Crookshanks had a strange attitude at that time. His hair was almost standing on end, his waist was bowed, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his mouth was grunting. Lulu let out a low growl, as if he was going to pounce on Zooey at any time and continue to paw him.

Not to mention that Zoe once told Hermione that she was allergic to cats, which made Hermione extremely guilty (though she didn't know that was actually Zoe's excuse).

"It's okay." Zooey shook her head, "We have Madam Pomfrey, and the wound is not deep." But despite what she said, she still chose to sit on the outside, separated from Crookshanks by a Luna. , the latter was teasing Crookshanks enthusiastically. Although Crookshanks was a little impatient, he didn't resist. He just ignored Luna's movements and flicked his tail from time to time.

The time on weekends is extremely precious, and they always use this free time to complete the homework that they missed before.Zoe was in a bad mood during this time, because she spent too much time practicing the Patronus Charm, and no matter how she cast the spell, the Patronus didn't respond to her at all.

And even if it fails, the energy that should be consumed will not be small.Although one of the characteristics of the Patronus Charm is its low consumption (after all, after the Patronus is usually formed, it can be used as a kind of familiar to communicate between wizards), but it can be used so many times at one time, let alone Zoe's spirit has not matured either.

So vaguely, she might have stepped on Crookshanks' tail before she was grabbed suddenly and violently. As for why she suddenly appeared on the eighth floor, Zooey subconsciously attributed everything to the fact that she wanted to Chasing Hermione's mood.

"Why do you want to read the book on the Goblin Rebellion? Is it a History of Magic homework?" Luna contentedly diverted her attention away from Crookshanks, looked at the thick file in front of Zoe, and asked.

"No, it's just a personal matter, I'm trying to draft the constitution of the organization..."

"Organization?" Luna repeated with interest.

Zoe looked at Hermione, who was racking her brains to write Snape's homework. Last class, Professor Lupine asked for leave. As their Defense Against the Dark Arts substitute teacher, Snape actually gave them a topic about werewolves. (But in fact, he arranged the homework of the other three academies quite normally).

Hermione is also very troubled by this subject, knowing that this will inevitably increase her workload, and the description of werewolves in their textbooks is far from enough for her to complete the thesis.But Zoe swears that Hermione must be more excited than complaining about this challenging homework.

Regarding the vision of the elf liberation organization, Hermione also discussed with Zoe, and decided not to disclose it to the public until the first draft of the charter was available, but Luna just asked casually and told her directly that it should be possible.

Sure enough, after hearing Zoe's answer, Luna was not interested at all. It's not that she didn't value rights and dignity, it was simply because she was out of her mind and couldn't be motivated by the constraints of such terms and conditions.

However, she is still willing to support them, as long as they need it, she can even be counted as her head.

"Are you still 'losing something' now, Luna?"

"Not at all, Zoe." Luna said cheerfully. Although the conflict in the Ravenclaw lounge was covered up, it still caused quite a storm among those who bullied Luna.Not that no one tried to retaliate, but at Zoe's behest, Luna "accidentally" said her roommate's name, "Even the beer corks that I accidentally lost before, someone helped me back .”

"That's good." Even with such a notorious name, she can actually help someone, let alone Luna is her friend.Although it was only a tiny moment, Zooey really felt very comforted, and even the identity and name that she had always hated were not so annoying anymore.

"sit."

Barbara lifted her head from the pile of thick files and motioned the two girls to do whatever they wanted.The room was filled with a decaying smell as always, and Zooey unconsciously glanced at the large cup on Barbara's desk. Yesterday Snape delivered the newly brewed potion to her office.There were several empty wine bottles on the table.

I originally thought that this professor just couldn't take care of himself, but it seems that things are far from being as simple as the first impression.Zooey imagined that Barbara was enduring the inhuman pain while talking to them without changing her face. Even if she didn't like the professor who had treated her roughly, she still had to admire her perseverance.

"Since it's not the first time, and you all know the process, I won't go into details."

This time Barbara finally prepared a third chair, arranged together, but the two chairs are in the form of lounge chairs, and the last one is a low stool.

"Professor Barbara, I have a question." Zoe asked, "What happened in the dream world? Why do I have no memory at all, and when I woke up..." She was extremely embarrassed, the embarrassing scene at that time Even after so long, it cannot disappear from memory.This also made her ignore Hermione's guilty turn of the head.

"You can think of the two of you as having an open heart-to-heart exchange, ignoring all external defenses and walls, a literal spiritual collision." Barbara said without much interest, "As for you not knowing this... usually What happened at that time, the parties will not have memory, only the fragments of the mood will remain and be exaggerated."

"But it's not that I don't have no memory, Professor." Hermione asked with a dry cough and raised her hand.

"That's because you and I are connected, Miss Granger." Barbara said, "Basically, only users of rune power can not get lost in the connection, because the runes will serve as guides to lead us forward. This is The most gentle and harmless way of mind interference is almost an equal exchange, and the invaded can also fight back against the intruder... In short, just treat it as a conversation."

"Then if I enter Hermione's heart, what will I see?"

"I don't know." Barbara said directly, "Everyone's mental landscape is different, generally it is a posture that matches the age of the person concerned, and it is also said that the veins of the soul and personality will affect the birth of the image... But if it's Miss Granger, I think you'll probably see her directly in reality."

"What about you, professor?" Hermione asked curiously.

Barbara spent a long time thinking about this question, as if she was suddenly pressed the "still" button, and even the rise and fall of her chest slowed down when she breathed.But she still answered their slightly personal question.

"I don't know." Zooey even felt that she suddenly felt melancholy, "something happened in the past... People's mental image and landscape will change with changes, and I don't know what kind of posture I will take when I connect with people now Appearance—Even the previous connection with Siegel, I didn’t go deep into it. Maybe I’m still just an ordinary student studying in the lounge as before... No, I’m no longer what I used to be.” She held the thin chain on her breast again, as if it would give her courage.
