Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"What's going on, Meg..." When Barbara straightened her robe and was about to pick up the materials on the floor, she suddenly froze when she saw Zoe following Margaret carefully. .

"Sie, Siegel?" she repeated, her expression slightly startled, "Why did you come to my place today?"

"That... your medicine, Professor. Professor Snape asked me to bring it for you, uh, for you, saying that he forgot it two days ago." Zooey tried to make her tone sound more ordinary, Although she really wanted to run away from here.

"Ah, is it Professor Snape's potion? I said before that I would pick it up by myself tomorrow, but I didn't expect him to ask you to bring it over today... just leave it there."

Barbara's demeanor was more natural than hers. When she heard her say this, she pointed to her empty desk, and the whereabouts of the piles of documents that were placed on it in the past were also easy to find. Just look at the scattered ones. The parchment on the ground will understand.Zooey's face was on fire. She thought of the voices she heard before, so what happened near this table was very intriguing.

"You guys came at a really bad time, hurry up!" Margaret frowned, slipped to Barbara's side with a slumped face full of disgust, stretched out her arms and hugged her directly, "Put the medicine away and go!" Just leave, I have something to discuss with Professor Barbara." Then she buried her face in Barbara's neck as if Zoe didn't exist.

Barbara was stunned at the time, and then pushed her away mercilessly: "Are you crazy? Siegel hasn't left yet!" But she still took into account Zoe who was turning her back to them, and lowered her sound.

"It's all right, it's been exposed anyway. That little guy is quite interesting, and he was eavesdropping outside... Wooah!" Margaret screamed and jumped back, a blue light flashed where she was standing before, Several cracks appeared on the floor, "You really planned to attack me just now, I'm your fiancée!"

"Yeah, I'll just beat you to death like a bug, Meg." Barbara said grimly, "I told you to lock the door before, and I told you not to just hang around in my office." Mess in public places, especially now during the daytime. But you haven't kept a single promise. If you want to get hot, you can go to the court to play. I don't have so much time to mess with you..."

Margaret shrugged, and from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Zooey's quietly red ears, as well as her dawdling movement (the glass had been knocked against the table several times), and she smiled slyly: "Oh, but Although you say that every time, you still let me succeed in the end. I can think that you are being stubborn. You are so passionate every time in bed, why do you always break my heart? You were not when I proposed Are you happy too?"

"Meg, if you spit out one more word that makes me angry, we will sleep in separate beds for a month, and I won't touch you or let you come near me for three months. " Barbara said with a fake smile, but when Zooey peeked over, she found that her expression was more vivid and real than when facing anyone, "I just want to ask why you always Are you teasing me in such a nasty way? Are you an idiot, or did you get your head smashed by a Bludger? Do you really know how much I used to hate you?"

"Yeah, I knew when you told me you had a lover." Margaret kissed her hand, "I thought we must have missed it, you were right, all that It's all my fault, I just can't think of a better way."

"Uh, then I'll go first..." Zooey's weak voice sounded from the side. Margaret looked over and found that Zooey was smiling stiffly. Etiquette must greet them.

She was going to wave goodbye to her directly, but then remembered some of what she had observed, as well as the details revealed by Barbara and her, so she smirked and said, "Come on, Zoe. Go get it Granger."

Zooey had only taken two or three steps, and when she heard her say this suddenly, her face turned red, and she staggered and almost fell down: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are just friends!"

"Huh? Are you still in unrequited love? You're so stupid, little guy, I thought you'd been together a long time ago." Margaret sneered, she found it very interesting to see Zoe's changing face, "I think you have a good chance. That kid obviously likes you too. As long as you dare to say it, I think it will work."

"How could it be so simple!" Zooey was about to cry, but her attitude became gloomy, "If I were a boy, or Hermione was, then I would have confessed a long time ago without even hesitation But we are both girls, no matter how close we are, it is only because we are girls, Hermione never looks at our relationship with such morbid feelings, to her I am just her good friend , how could I take the initiative to say it?"

She trembled, "If we don't say it, we can still be friends, nothing will change, and I can still stay by her side, the place closest to her, but as long as I say it..." She thought of Borg again The cold words that the Hermione who became Tate told her were her own fears, and the Boggart just reflected them faithfully.

It has nothing to do with Hermione's true attitude, it's just because she thinks this kind of relationship is wrong, and it's just because she thinks Hermione will find her disgusting. Understand why such feelings can arise even between women and women.

"Siegel, I'm very concerned about something you said just now." Barbara looked at Zoe who couldn't stop trembling, and sighed, "Do you think this relationship is wrong? It's sick ?”

Zooey shook her head slowly, then nodded quickly, lowering her head in frustration: "I don't know...I can't control that desire, but it's obviously not normal."

"Look at me, Siegel." She waved to Margaret again, "Meg, come here."

As soon as Margaret got close to her, she held the other's face in her hands. Margaret closed her eyes and accepted the other's kiss tenderly.

This is not a passionate or seductive kiss, just a shallow touch and separation, but it makes people unable to look away, because Barbara's attitude is too natural and pious?Or was it because Zooey saw shyness that had never appeared on Margaret's face?She just stared blankly at the two people kissing each other. Barbara kissed Margaret time and time again, and Margaret blushed in response. Watching them staring at each other in a daze, one can feel the happiness that pervades the two.

"Compared with the intimacy between any pair of lovers you have seen, is there anything unusual?" Barbara came over and knelt down to look at her, with a wry smile, "Why are you crying?"

"I don't know... I just feel very sad suddenly, and I feel very dazzling. Can people really see happiness with their eyes?" Zooey was completely unable to be brave, and she just wiped away the tears that kept flowing , I felt that the shadow of fear that had been lingering in my heart was quietly washed away.

"Actually, there is no difference, isn't it? Whether it's between a man and a woman, between a man, or between a woman. There's always been just acquaintance and love between two people, and the results are equally dazzling. You The throbbing in your heart is your treasure, not something dirty or sick."

"But everyone is talking about the inevitability of the relationship between a man and a woman. Isn't it a matter of course that a girl will like a boy? Isn't it because of my mother's influence that I..." Barbara pressed her hand Zoe's mouth, with an unprecedented cold expression, "Zoe, I told you, there are some things that must never be said. Your heartbeat is something that belongs only to you. You think it's shameful to like Granger. thing?"

Zooey shook her head desperately.

"Will you stop this love just because others say it's abnormal?"

Zooey closed her eyes and thought about it: "I will be in pain, but I can't stop."

"Hello, Zoe." Margaret had been watching, but suddenly said at this moment, "On the day of our wedding, you can come too, and I will send you an invitation."

"Wedding? Professors?" Zoe asked.

"Yeah, because not many people will come, so I only invite a few close friends to participate in a small range. You see, Barbara has been doing so badly for so many years, and there is no one close to her—— She dodged the figurine flying from the sky, "It's no secret that I fell out with my family, right?" Zoe nodded.

"Probably my father still hates me until now, because I not only shamed him for falling in love with a woman, but also disobeyed him and betrayed the family for this woman and a free future; Barbara is also in this respect with me. In the same way, she is no longer a person under the shadow of the family. We only have each other, but this does not mean that we are unfortunate. Not to mention that although the number is small, there are still people who will support us. I just need to shake hands with her. If you hold each other's hands, you will have the confidence to become happier than any family."

She laughed out loud as if thinking of something: "As for whether Granger will accept you or not, then try to chase after you. I have been chasing Barbara for seven years. At the beginning, she even saw I'll just attack me like I'm some kind of bastard who'll get in at any moment..."

"Seven years, ten months and 21 days, I finally promised you at Christmas that year... At that time, you bastard kissed me forcefully while I was not paying attention." Barbara gave her a sideways look, but still chuckled softly. Sound, those past memories have become enough precious treasures.

"Hey, how are you insulting people's innocence! Obviously you are looking forward to my kissing you, aren't you?" Margaret yelled, and looked at Zoe again, "If you want to stay where you are, you can't do it at all. .Because we are changing all the time, if you don’t fight for it yourself, even if something happens in the future that makes you miserable, it will only make you fall into the vortex of regret for nothing in the end.”

"So at least try and see, we'll be on your side."
