Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Following the guidance of the moonstone, Margaret ran up the stairs all the way, but her panic and confusion grew, especially when she finally reached the troll carpet on the eighth floor where she had been to countless times. As it went down, the buzzing and heat of the moonstone showed that Barbara was here.

But how could something happen here?This is the place where the three of them met secretly, and there should be only the three of them in the know. Neither Max nor Barbara will be the ones who talk about secrets, but the spell on the moonstone should not be wrong.Barbara must be in there.

Calm down, Meg, and don't panic.She told herself repeatedly, and then drew out her wand, and put the Iron Armor Charm on her body first. Although she didn't know what happened, it was always right to be prepared for protection.

According to their vision of the lounge in the past, after walking under the troll carpet three times, a smooth door appeared.Margaret's temples throbbed, and she was afraid that something tragic would happen when she opened the door, but she was so worried about Barbara's safety that she finally rushed to knock the door open.

"Barbara! Max?!" When she crashed in, she saw two people lying on the recliner who seemed to be asleep.Surprised that Max was here too, but they didn't look anything out of the ordinary.

As soon as she thought this way, Margaret saw Barbara's body shaking unnaturally suddenly, she immediately ran over to support Barbara's body, and found that although she was in pain, she seemed like a nightmare. Trembling unconsciously, unable to even make a sound.

"Barbara! I'll take you to the infirmary right away..." She picked up Barbara and wanted to rush outside, but when she took Barbara away from the circle of runes on the ground, something happened suddenly Variety.

Barbara's trembling stopped suddenly, and then a violent blue light suddenly exploded from her body. Margaery especially closed her eyes at first, but still held Barbara tightly with both hands, pressing her into her arms.This ray of light didn't make people feel warm, but it didn't mean to hurt her either. The light enveloped the entire room and was fleeting.

Barbara in her arms didn't move anymore, but her eyes, which had been closed tightly all the time, opened slightly. Just as Margaret was about to poke her head to look, a faint voice came from behind.

"I advise you to put her on the couch better, Meg."

"Max!" She turned her head and found that her friend was covering her head, and there was no smile on Max's face at all, as if there was ice covering her body. Margaret had teased her "hypocrisy" many times, But Max's smile was deeply rooted in people's hearts like a symbol, and now she stopped smiling suddenly, but gave birth to a panic-stricken fear.

"What the hell is going on with you two?!" Margaret yelled, but first carefully put Barbara on the couch: "Why are you here, Meg?" Max's voice was low and depressed. It's like the calm before the storm.

"I... well, I did some tricks on the moonstone, and I'm afraid that something will happen to her when I can't see it-but don't tell Barbara, I don't want to do anything, I'm just worried... ...Don't think too much about it, I know I've overdone it..."

Max had no intention of caring about Margaret's entanglement, "Please stop talking, Meg!" She said irritably, holding her shoulders, even though she was crying, she forced a smile, she pressed Feeling the passionate and surging pain and sourness spreading from the heart to the limbs, this emotional wave is more turbulent than ever before, but more vivid and real.

There is indeed a sense of fullness in her heart, which is integrated into her soul like faith.

"Hey, Max. I'll take Barbara to the infirmary first. She's not in the right shape. You can wait..."

"It's too late, Meg." Max looked at her, with tears still on his face, "Barbara is dying soon, her spirit has been severely traumatized, and it has seriously affected her body. It's too late for you to take her to the infirmary."

"What...?!" Margaret hurriedly went to look at Barbara, and found that her bright eyes, which were able to stare at her angrily in the past, had lost their brilliance at this moment, but the vitality had not completely disappeared. The breath was also very weak, and the whole person lost consciousness and did not move.

What to do, she is going to die... Margaret has never felt death approaching so vividly at any moment, but she has no choice but to wait for the person she likes to die like this bit by bit ?

His thoughts, which had been chaotic since just now, gradually quieted down.Margaret heard her inner voice asking herself, is it really worth it?But there is no need to hesitate at all for the answer, this is the first time a girl named Margaret has this feeling called liking.

She took out from her bosom the knife that her parents gave her as a gift when she was a child. She has always carried it with her as a talisman. She gritted her teeth and cut a deep gash on her arm. Bright red blood gushed out from the wound. Let them all be fed into Barbara's mouth along the fingers.At the same time, she raised her wand and muttered words, and a white gleam appeared around her blood. After the blood entered Barbara's mouth, her face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her painful expression quickly eased. , became much more peaceful.

But on the other hand, Margaret looked weak, her cheeks became pale, nutrition and vitality seemed to be lost from her healthy limbs, and she was even losing weight at an observable speed , that golden hair also became dry.

"You're looking for death, Meg." Max said coldly, but she was obviously interested in it. "Is this the result of your family's research on blood and soul?"

For wizards, blood was never just a liquid.It is the inheritance of family and power, and the embodiment of life and will. Even wizards believe that the fragments of the soul are also hidden in the blood, so they have always been stubborn in order to maintain the so-called pure blood. Muggle-born wizards, because that kind of blood doesn't have any historical inheritance.

Blood can be used as a component of many medicines or as a basic medicine, but no wizard family has publicly announced that they can transfer life through the exchange of blood. This technology cannot be made public, and it even belongs to the category of black magic. .

Of course, Max can understand what Margaret is doing. She is unilaterally donating her life, health, and even her soul to Barbara through the channel of blood, repairing her soul that is about to be broken, and turning her life to Barbara. fixed in that intact body.But everyone has only their own share. Even if Margaret sends away even one tenth of it, she will never be the same as before, and the soul in her body will no longer be complete, let alone a tenth of it. Talk about a more intuitive lifespan and a lot of loss of health.

However, by doing so, she couldn't really cure Barbara completely, it just prolonged her survival time, allowing her to receive more and more complete treatments.Max couldn't understand that what Margaret lost was far greater than what she gained by doing this, and this was not a choice that a person with normal thinking should make at all.

"Who did it?" Margaret asked weakly. "Why did she become like this?"

"I did it."

"Why? Aren't you lovers?" Margaret said tenderly and painfully, "I know she really likes you, so I didn't intend to say it in my whole life, as long as it gives me more time to digest , there will be a day when I can accept it. And if it is you, you will not let her down, because you are my good friend..."

"Are you just, playing with her feelings? Max Siegel."

"In the beginning, I was just curious. But I found that I was not indifferent, although the heart was very weak... But now I can say that I really like her very much, and I have already felt the impact. I tell her Confessed everything, but she rejected me." Max looked at her hands, but the neckline was grabbed by a slight force in the next second, and she faced Margaret who was gnashing her teeth: "This has something to do with you hurting her. Is it related to Copper Nut!"

"I hurt her because I like her. I gave her the choice. She didn't want to kill me. I had to do it myself... But it seems that you have taken her away from me. If I can be more Thoroughly..."

"You lunatic!" Margaret shivered and pushed her away, her eyes were red with anger, "Have you lived for so long and still don't understand what love is?"

"Love is about hurting and possessing, because then I feel alive."

"That's called selfishness! It's not bullshit. Max, don't think I don't know why you pretend to be a good student in front of everyone. You just want to be praised, valued and liked by others. "

Max sneered: "You are wrong, I just need this identity as my disguise, why do you have to think that I am a poor good person? You don't even know what I have done, you think it should never be done Things like this are insignificant to me, I will never be bound by that kind of mood..."

"Then don't take me for a fool!" Margaret growled, "You can't even see what you are like. What are you complaining about? Are you still a naive child? ?I don't know what happened to you, all you did was take your anger out on something you resented. Just selfishness for your own peace of mind, don't call it - love!"

She struggled to lift Barbara up and moved forward step by step. When she passed the silent Max, she didn't even look at her, but bumped Max with her shoulder. On his shoulders, Max stood there as if in a daze, his body swaying slightly.

Max stood alone for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said softly.

"—"
