Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Professor Barbara, are you really okay?" They usually choose to go to the office with Barbara after class, and this time is also the same. Although Barbara's face is very normal during class, she has witnessed her coma Hermione was still very concerned.

"It's okay, I'm paying attention to the adjustment of my body." Barbara said coldly, but that wasn't a complaint against Hermione.

Zoe followed behind. She guessed that Barbara's physical condition was also related to her taking the potion. In order to avoid addiction and decline in effect, Snape strictly controlled the use of the potion, and Barbara had always complied with it. this rule.

The next dose of medicine will be next Wednesday, and this is also the first time Zoe is responsible for delivering medicine.But she didn't tell Hermione about Barbara's injury, because Snape wouldn't allow her to.

"You figured it out?" Barbara asked Hermione before starting.

Hermione shook her head slowly, and nodded again: "Are you really sure you won't let Zooey get hurt?"

She got a positive reply from Barbara, "I... still want to try, even if it's just wishful thinking, it doesn't matter, if this continues, unforgivable things will definitely happen..."

"Welcome back, sister Hermione."

"Ah... we meet again, Zoe." Hermione looked around pretending to be natural, but mainly at the small window. The scenery outside the window was just as she had imagined, and her confidence increased a little. point.

The girl pulled Hermione to sit down again, and poured tea for her like last time. Hermione found that there were a few more patterns on the solid-colored teacups this time: "Did you change the cups, why?" She asked suspiciously.

"Because you said last time that you don't like solid-colored cups, I tried to add something. Is this okay?" The little guy asked timidly, and Hermione quickly comforted her, saying that it wasn't that she didn't like the cups last time , "But this time I also like it very much, thank you for being willing to make changes for me, Zoe."

"Yeah!" Zooey's face turned cloudy immediately, and she looked at Hermione expectantly, "Let's drink some tea too, I've tried for a long time before I finally made it."

Indeed, compared to the completely boiling white water before, the tea this time has a faint fragrance just by smelling it. Hermione took a sip carefully, and the fresh floral fragrance mixed with the tea spread in her mouth, she was pleasantly surprised "It's so delicious!" and said sincerely.

"Hey, because Hermione's face was not very good when she drank tea before, I was thinking about how to make you feel good..." Zooey couldn't help but said proudly, she looked at Hermione expectantly, "Can you still tell me a story today?"

"No problem." Hermione said with a smile, she felt lighthearted, the feeling of being valued and liked by others was really great. "But do you remember, Zoe?"

"Huh?" Zooey just moved another chair to her side.

"Instead of me telling you some stories, don't you want to go out and see for yourself?" Hermione paid attention to her tone, while paying close attention to Zoe's state.

"Of course I want to go out, but I can't." Zoe said naturally, "The world is dark, and there will be darkness after darkness. All I can do is struggle to hide, because bad things will never let me go." Yeah, just trying to break me."

When she wanted to tell Hermione that it was impossible with the same words as last time, a slightly warm finger covered her lips, "Don't say it, Zoe. Don't think about what the world is like... ..."

"But..." Zooey frowned, but she didn't want to refute Hermione, she didn't want to disappoint her.

"Walking alone is painful, but two people can bear it. If one hand can't pray, two hands can call for miracles... Will you believe me?"

"Of course I would like to believe you, Sister Hermione. You are the first person who is willing to knock on this door, the person who is willing to confide in me... Every time we meet, I hope you will never leave, even if It's just my capriciousness." Zoe's loss was obvious, and Hermione felt a warm current flow through her heart when she heard her say that. How can anyone in this world suffer from being trusted and relied on?

It's obviously the same person, but in reality Zoe doesn't depend on her at all, Hermione couldn't help thinking complainingly, but felt that she was in such a strange mood.She held Zooey's hand and said softly: "Then close your eyes, Zooey. Don't look at anything, don't think about anything, I will take you away."

"But what if I get lost?" Zooey asked worriedly, "Wouldn't it be that I can only be alone?"

"I won't let go, and I won't let anything happen to you." Hermione looked straight at her, with full sincerity and seriousness, "I promise you. Come with me, get out from here."

Zooey just looked at her in silence for a long time, and finally held the sides of Hermione's palm tightly with her two small hands, and lowered her head so that her forehead touched Hermione's palm, as if praying.

"it is good."

The eyelids are closed, and the world is instantly divided into complete darkness.Because I want to close my eyes for sure, I unconsciously exert pressure on the eye muscles. When the light disappears completely, it seems that the world has abandoned itself, becoming a drifter with no place to rest.

"Woo..." Just hummed timidly, as agreed, the palm was firmly held, it was the warm temperature I felt before. "Let's go, Zoe." A clear, resolute female voice sounded from beside her ears. Zoe nodded silently at first, then hummed softly as if reacting, her voice trembling slightly.

The creaking sound of opening the door sounded in her ear, long and slow, she swallowed subconsciously, and could only rely on the temperature in her palm, desperately hinting that "nothing will happen to her".

And the person next to her seemed to know what she was thinking, and said at the same time: "Nothing will happen, you have to go?"

They walked very slowly, Hermione slowed down, she walked in front, followed by the trembling Zoe: "This is right here, there will be thunder..." Sure enough, the next second, as she said, There was a loud explosion of thunder in his ears, which startled Zoe, especially in the dark, where even the function of eyes was useless.

"I want to go back..."

"Zoe, don't think about it, there is no lightning or thunder." Hermione stopped, turned around and hugged the trembling girl directly, she covered her ears with the other hand, "Don't think about anything, We are safe now and there is no danger."

"But everyone wants to kill me, they want me to die, there are cold things everywhere, cold court sessions, cold arguments, cold trials... and monsters, monsters are coming, because I Step out of the hut, it will swallow me up, I don't want to die, I want to live..."

"No one wants you dead, Zoe... If so, let's fight desperately. You are the best peer in my heart and my most important friend. If someone wants to hurt you, I will never Let them succeed, I will fight with you, and many people will be by your side..."

"So don't feel like you're alone...let's keep going."

"Why does sister Hermione treat me so well?"

"Because we...are friends, isn't it natural that we want to treat you well?"

The two walked another distance in silence. Of course, this was entirely just Zoe's own imagination, because all she could feel was the slight warmth of Hermione holding her hand, but gradually, she felt a stampede under her feet. The tactile sensation, that faint sensation that occurs when you stand on the lawn.

"Wow..." Hermione's admiring voice sounded, "It's so beautiful, Zoe, this is the real..." She motioned Zoe to take a few steps forward, as if the barrier had been lifted, and the sound of wind and insects Naruto became clear at the same time, the smell of soil flooded into her nostrils, and her palm touched the rough surface.

"Open your eyes, Zoe." Hermione whispered in her ear, expectantly, as if the surprise box in front of her was about to be opened, "It's all over, I won this time."

She opened her eyes, and in front of her was a piece of dark brown, rough bark. No, it should be said that it was a tree, which would be more accurate.Looking up along the trunk, the tree is very tall, and the crown of the tree can only be seen when the neck is lifted to the extreme.Zooey took two steps back in a daze, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, which startled her.

"It's Firefly, Zoe!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

Hermione was right, the bits and pieces of light were flying in all directions, around the trees, or simply swimming in the air.They stood on a small hill, and in front of them was an endless green flat land.The night sky is a mixture of dark blue and black, but it is very bright, because the dotted stars are shimmering, and the cool wind and insects are softly ringing in the ears, as if it is a peaceful and melodious natural sound.

A pure and mixed natural beauty, Zoe looked at it in a daze: "Look, the outside world is not completely dark, and the future will not be silent darkness. Your world is very beautiful, Zoe, this is yours reality."

"This is... the truth that belongs to me." Zoe murmured, "Yeah, this is what belongs to me... Since when did you forget it?"

"Thank you, Sister Hermione...This is probably the last time I call you that." Zooey's smile was far more mature than ever before, and it was no longer as innocent as a child, as if the haze that blinded her eyes had been swept away And empty, "We probably won't see each other again."

"What..." Hermione frowned, "Zoe?"

"It's so embarrassing to let you see such a side..." Hermione found that her body gradually became transparent, and the trance feeling when connecting enveloped her again, "But I am very happy, thank you for comforting me in the past —I am, indeed, redeemed.”

"Zoe, what's going on?"

"I'm rejecting you," the little girl said with a smile, "so you're going to be thrown out."

"What did I do wrong!" Hermione found that she could no longer touch Zoe, her hand passed through the girl's shoulder, and she felt intense confusion and pain in her heart.

"Please don't show such an expression. It's not that you did something bad, but that you did a great job." Zooey pierced Hermione's palm for the last time, as if there was still warmth left on it, Fingers crossed in prayer.

"So only you, there will be things that I don't want you to know, and I don't want to be hated by you..."

Zooey waved to her, "Goodbye, Hermione."
