Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. Was it stimulated by Meg and Barbara? You are not as cautious as you were before."

The world seems to be divided into two from the middle line, one side is the green grass, and the other side is the gray basement. There is no general description of the boundary, but the best boundary line is in the middle of the conflicting scenery.Zoe looked warily at Max who was leaning on the stone platform and spoke to her with interest, and slowly sat down against the tree trunk. "Have you been spying on my privacy all this time? It's disgusting. Wasn't Professor Barbara your lover before? How do you feel, seeing your past lovers and friends walking together, throwing off your decision to go on happily?" look?"

"Zoe, do you know a word?" Max looked as usual, his brown eyes looked at her as if looking at an object, "that is, don't provoke anyone who is stronger than you, that's very stupid behavior. Especially your strength is still so weak, before you are sure that you can tear my throat..."

"Then thank you for your advice, aren't you still chained?" Zooey's chest was full of anger, because she was already very anxious, and Hermione's final refusal was like putting Ice water splashed on her face, and Max’s tone that seemed to be mocking her added fuel to the flames, “A pervert like you, Professor Barbara was really blind to like you back then, you just Think of her as an existence like me, don’t you? Safe and controllable, you can play with it wantonly, and throw it away if you don’t want it.”

"Barbara's eyesight is indeed not very good, and she was blurred by beautiful hallucinations. She didn't run away even after I gave a reminder." Max said, "But Zoe, why do you think so, that you and She has the same position in my heart? You are just a prop in the plan, a stranger who suddenly appeared in front of me now, even if you are my child, so what? Barbara's status is higher than yours She's too tall, I used to like her quite a bit."

When she said this, even though Zooey felt that she didn't care whether Max could pay her the expired family affection, she still couldn't help feeling a strong hatred.Obviously she was born into this world unexpectedly, but look at what she has encountered in the past few years. From the Ministry of Magic to the public, it seems that she has committed some unforgivable sin, accusing and guarding against her in every possible way. They can only live in pain surrounded by malice and hostility.Dumbledore has always emphasized that she is loved, but her birth, spit out from the mouth of this person who is her mother, seems to be just a joke.

"That's really great. Just in my heart, you already hate me more than Voldemort, so we don't need to pretend to each other and talk about 'being friendly with each other'." Zoe sneered, this is what she said For the first time in a while, he expresses his hatred for Max blatantly.Now as long as her consciousness falls into a deep sleep, she will come to this place, but it is slightly different from the previous heart scene. It seems that this is just the realization of consciousness, that is, it exists like a dream.

"Why not? It's a novel experience for me to quarrel with someone every day, and to be honest, I'm somewhat interested in you. You did something incredible today that even I couldn't even imagine. Of course I hope to talk to you more, let me observe whether this is just an accident? Or is it another anomaly?"

Max's nonchalant smile will always put a lot of pressure on Zoe, and the hidden sense of superiority in it is just like how humans face animals: "Zoe, why can you use the Patronus? It's just given by me." You, who were born after everything, have actually achieved what I have never been able to achieve. Even if it is just a cloud of fog, with time, you will be able to complete this spell."

"It turns out that there are things my peerless genius mother can't do? It seems that you are nothing special." Although she has realized that Max doesn't care about being ridiculed by herself, Zoe still can't restrain her desire to stimulate her : "Yeah, no matter how much I try and adjust, only the Patronus Charm is the most troublesome for me." Max just confessed indifferently, "That's a spell that doesn't depend on magic and skill, I actually Can't master it, even the basic silver mist like you before, I can't use it."

"Sure enough, you bastard has been spying on my consciousness... Before I fell into a coma and was taken away by a werewolf, everything in between must be manipulated by you, what exactly did you do!" Zuoyi suddenly stood up. She got up and rushed to the dividing line between the two worlds, but she hesitated and did not take another step forward, entering Max's territory.

"Smart but stupid kid, Zoe." Max smiled, "Indeed, as long as you dare to come to my side now, even if I'm still bound by Barbara, I have many ways to torture you and break you down ...But why do you act like you don't know anything about it? You knew that you would be controlled by me, didn't you? Because my power is far greater than yours, so I can spy on you, but you can't. You have seen Got to that name, and got a little sense of things from a conversation with Hermione ("You can't call her name!"), can you really not figure out what I did?"

"Hermione told me that Sirius was innocent and that Pettigrew escaped. You let Pettigret go on purpose, but you certainly didn't out of pity for your former companions - because people like you don't have such feelings at all. That means his existence is still valuable to you, and you want him to do something that you cannot do in your current state..." A thought took root in her head, "You want him to To find Voldemort?"

"It's a matter of course, Zoe." Max said, "Since he escaped from Hogwarts with great difficulty, but that poor traitor has already lost his reputation. It only takes one night for the "Daily Prophet" to publish The truth, everyone will know, and the Ministry of Magic will desperately want and hunt him down, in order to restore his reputation ... but Pettigrew will escape, he is different from Black back then, he is experienced in hiding his whereabouts."

"You really want to resurrect him, because he is your lover?"

"Because Tom is my kind and my comrade, Zoe." Max's tone became much gentler, "I learned a lot from Tom, and he can even be regarded as my teacher. We all Paying attention to death, the difference is that what Tom pursues is eternal life, and what I pursue is—” She paused, “Even if I was denied because of some things that happened before. But death itself is a kind of eternity, this I will never give up no matter how many decades or hundreds of years pass.”

"And you only destroyed the things of your precious comrades last year. I think it's hypocritical for such behavior to match your statement. That diary must have something to do with your research."

"Of course, this kind of thinking is correct. But that diary is a special thing. For Tom, destroying his past self is also an inevitable choice." Max said, "That diary is too 'real' Is it Tom's origin. Or do you think the dreaded Dark Lord would want to find something full of his childishness and innocence?"

"Are you justifying your behavior? I really don't understand you..." Zoe gritted her teeth, "As long as I ask a question, you tell me the whole truth. Are we talking about tomorrow's dinner?" The list?! Are you not afraid that I will expose all this?"

"Then who can you tell?" Max seemed to see everything about her, "Tell the Ministry of Magic? Give them a ready-made handle, 'the child has her mother's soul hidden in her body, and that soul is trying to take away the body', You just say it, no one will let you survive, even those who have tolerated you in the past, will hesitate. Or do you want to tell Lucius? Tell your friends? You can't do it, Zoe , because you are afraid."

"You've been thinking, 'Lucius is kind to you because of me,' and if you tell him, do you think he'd be happier with me or with you? You wouldn't bet on that , you're not as secure as you think you are, Zoe. Telling your friends looks like a good option, but you won't do it either, they can't help you, you know that better than anyone, so The topic of talking about it will only cast a haze on your relationship, and you don't want to see such an ending, so you won't tell anyone, even Hermione."

"Then I can tell Dumbledore." Zooey knew that everything Max said was true. This woman might be able to see through many things easily because she was always watching from the sidelines, but Zooey didn't want to just Being led by the nose like this, "Dumbledore will not refuse me, he is the greatest wizard, even Voldemort fears him, and..."

"And he obviously knows more inside information than you imagined, so it's meaningless to tell him." Max finished what Zoe hadn't said, and showed a thoughtful look, "Indeed, even I can't guess that. Thoroughly. Professor Dumbledore is a difficult man. When I was studying under him, I thought he was very powerful, not only spells—I couldn’t master this man. If it was him, even if he knew something Weird... though it's weird."

She did not hesitate to answer Zoe's confusion: "After all, only Tom and I know about your affairs in theory. Do you expect Tom to write to Professor Dumbledore regularly to exchange feelings? But if the traitor leaked the news, then what?" Who is it? That's why I say it's weird, but it's also interesting."

The sky was getting brighter, piercing through the darkness that had been shrouding the dream like a sharp sword. This was not the first time Zoe had seen such a scene, because it indicated that it was time for her to leave.But she found that she didn't want to return to reality so much, she didn't want to wake up.The reason is obvious.

"Hermione..."
