Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Hmm..." A small voice came out from the mouth of the girl on the hospital bed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly opened with mist.The zenith of the infirmary is already very familiar, at least Zoe comes in almost every year for various things, but Madam Pomfrey's technique is unquestionable, she no longer feels the severe pain before.

But when I wake up, I will feel a sense of emptiness and fatigue from the bottom of my heart. "Are you awake?" came the sound of footsteps, followed by Madam Pomfrey's gentle voice (because Bai came in every year, she was already familiar with her voice), "Take a little more rest, I have read Your injury is basically a non-serious skin trauma, but your spirit was exhausted, so you passed out."

She put a cup on the bedside cabinet: "Drink more hot cocoa to replenish energy, you have already missed breakfast - but the little girl who was by your side before should bring you something, I have already sent her to the cafeteria, she got up early this morning, even if I told her that you just fell asleep, I still have to stubbornly wait for you to wake up, obviously I was so weak yesterday... last year She was also there with the year before last, you two have such a good relationship, she is a great friend."

She smiled at Madam Pomfrey, not letting her feel dazed: "Yeah, Madam Pomfrey, I can't even express my gratitude to her with words...Hermione, her body What? Is she okay?"

"She's fully recovered, don't worry, child," Madam Pomfrey said. "Thanks to your emergency treatment before, the treatment on my side is very good. You fed her chocolate, didn't you (she Didn't notice that Zooey's face turned red in an instant)?" She looked at Zooey with loving eyes, "Actually, I did hear something about what happened yesterday... Oh, poor Remus, he waited Will should come to apologize to you, we found him in the depths of the Forbidden Forest last night - Albus wiped out those dementors this morning, they should have been notified by the Ministry of Magic yesterday, but Because of that accident... Albus was very angry, he didn't want to let dementors into the school, let alone these dementors violated the rules again and attacked you this time."

She sighed: "Hey, when will this school be able to restore the peace it should have? I have worked here for so many years, but there are more things happening in these years than in the past few decades. I always feel that There's more to come, and they're like a sign... Take care of yourselves, kids. Every one of you."

Zoe was about to sit up in bed when the door creaked open and Hermione looked lost in thought, frowning as she held a plate with two sandwiches on it. "Your friend is back, let's have a good chat with her instead of listening to the complaints of an old woman like me." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile, she entered the room intimately and closed the door behind her.

"Morning, good morning, Hermione." Zooey always felt embarrassed. She didn't dare to look directly at Hermione's face, so she focused all her attention on a shelf in front of her eyes.

"Huh?!" Hermione's reaction was bigger than hers. She finally recovered from her own world when she heard Zoe greet her, "Morning, morning."

"Eat, eat something?" She lifted the plate up without looking at Zooey, "I wanted to bring you something more hearty, but sandwiches are the most convenient." Zooey took the plate, and the two of them accidentally Hermione almost threw the plate away as if she had been shocked by electricity. Zooey sighed silently, but still smiled and said, "It's okay, I happen to want a sandwich too, thank you, Hermione."

Afterwards, the two were just silent, only the slight noise made by Zoe's chewing made the atmosphere less dead silent, but the inevitable feeling of embarrassment and alienation still appeared in the hearts of both of them at the same time.

"How about it, taste?" Finally, Hermione couldn't help breaking the balance, "Today they use corned beef, I don't know if you will like it..."

"I feel like these pixies are like the roundworm in my stomach, they make something I like every time. Don't you think it's a creative idea to add a little lettuce leaf to a corned beef sandwich? Especially this lettuce The leaves are quite bitter, and I can feel the resentment of the cows and vegetables." Having said that, Zooey showed a very painful look on her face.

"Really, if you hate it, just say it?" Hermione reluctantly brought over the sandwich with one piece left, she seemed to relax a lot, at least her complexion improved, "Are you a picky eater, Zoe?" She noticed Madam Pomfrey's cup on the side, found that it was hot cocoa, and handed it to Zoe.

"No, but I hate lettuce leaves and a lot of bitter foods." Zoe took a big gulp before continuing, "By the way, I also hate sour and spicy things." Hermione Sigh, saying that is hardly any different from "I'm a picky eater".

"What about the sweet ones?" Knowing the answer, it was purely teasing: "Of course, the sweeter the better, the only difference is sweets. If I could choose, I would eat sweets for three meals a day " Zooey also said in a lively tone, and when she saw Hermione laugh out loud because of her words, she was secretly relieved.

"That's not okay, you will become fat directly like blowing air because of eating too much sweets. And it will not do any good to your body." Just when Zoe thought that Hermione would become a tirade While talking to her, Hermione didn't go any further, "What did Madam Pomfrey say? Do you still need to rest?"

Zooey shook her head. She noticed that Hermione was distracted again: "No, I just need to rest for a while, about half a day, and I can leave at any time." It can be regarded as an end, anyway, it is already in a state of doing nothing, even if Zoe stays on the bed in the infirmary for a whole day, there will be no trouble.

"When we go back, let's take a carriage." Zoe said.Hermione blinked and forced a smile: "Oh, not this time, Zooey... I've already promised Harry and Ron to ride in the same carriage with them." Zooey was very disappointed, but if Hermione She has already made a promise, and she doesn't want to ask Hermione to accommodate her willfully, "Well, what a pity, next time I will definitely be the first to invite you... Then where will we meet when we get off the bus? Gran Mrs. Jeff, are they picking us up at the station platform?"

Hermione became even more restless, her eyes were erratic, she opened her mouth several times as if she was about to say something, but she swallowed it all again, until Zooey finished speaking, she took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "About About that matter, I sent them a letter just now, Zoe."

Her ears were slowly turning red with shame, and Hermione kept telling herself that she was mentally prepared for everything that would happen next, that she felt despicable, but she still said weakly: "I told them you said this year's The itinerary has already been arranged, so I won't go to our house for the summer vacation..." Zoe's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't believe what she heard, and her ears were buzzing.

"What did you say?" She first tentatively tried in a joking tone: "Okay, you made me laugh, Hermione." But when she saw Hermione look away guiltily and said nothing, she felt that there was something in her body. Every drop of blood began to flow backwards, and finally all rushed into her brain, "This is not something to be joked about, Hermione." When she said this sentence coldly, there was no expression on her face there is none left.

"...I'm not joking with you, Zoe." Hermione said softly, "I know it's wrong, I apologize to you, but..."

"But?" Zooey felt as if her voice came directly from her chest, "I have already agreed to the invitation, Hermione. How could you lie to me, the client, against my will? Parents, go to 'represent' me to make a decision?!" Her body trembled slightly, and trembling and emptiness surged up together, as if the strength of her whole body was taken away, and she only felt dizzy.

"I know it's mean, it's shameless...but I can't help it! I'm so messed up, I can't figure it out, it feels like everything is messed up, and there's something that I can't see It's twisted, I want to get rid of it, I'm scared, Zoe!" Hermione also covered her face, crying.

But Zooey was so angry that she couldn't listen to anything.She felt as if she had been betrayed by Hermione, and her brain was boiling: "But you never came to ask for my opinion! Have you ever asked me what I think? Not at all! Or do you think I will because You tell me 'don't come to your house' to pester you? You think I'm such a selfish person, don't you? So don't even want to ask me what I think, just throw me away like a burden ?!"

"It's not like this!" Hermione subconsciously stood up, her face turned pale, and she had a premonition that something was gradually getting out of control, "It's just that so many things happened before, I'm in a mess now, there are so many things I can't control, I need to Time to think about it... I did use one of the stupidest methods, but I can't think of a better one! It's not that I have any intentions for you—"

Hermione was already leaning against the bed in order to justify herself before, and Zooey only needed to reach out to grab her arm, and then pull Hermione to her, and she did.Hermione felt a great force coming from the front, she was completely unprepared, and fell straight forward.When she came back to her senses, half of her body was already lying on Zooey's body.
