Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Startled, Hermione subconsciously wanted to get up immediately.Her face was almost buried in Zoe's abdomen, and even through the thin quilt, she could still easily feel the soft touch of the human body.Hermione's face became hot all of a sudden, as if someone had lit a fire directly on her skin.She supported the blank area at the corner of Zoe's bed, and was about to exert force, but Zoe moved faster than her.

She gripped Hermione's shoulders with a force that seemed to hold her prey down so that it could not escape.Hermione couldn't move, and was about to turn her head away, only to find that even this freedom had been taken away.Zooey looked at her as if she had changed into a different person, with a passion in her eyes that made her dare not look directly at her. Of course, she knew what this passion meant, even if she didn't know it before, after the absurd change last night , she should also know.

Zooey held her face, not only intentionally but also unintentionally, Hermione felt a dull pain in her jaw from the strength of her hand.But compared to the slight pain in the body, the strong discomfort and timidity in consciousness were the root causes of Hermione's desire to run away, not to mention that she even noticed that Zoe's face was gradually approaching her.

to be taken away.The resistance in Hermione's heart engulfed her like an explosion, and even the shyness and acceptance that were so weak that they disappeared in a flash were involved in the torrent of resistance and disappeared immediately.Her scalp was numb, and she felt that the girl in front of her was like a seductive and corrupt demon, leading her into a dark road full of thorns that she could not see clearly ahead.

"Zo, Zoe..." Hermione's voice was trembling, she didn't know why, she found that she couldn't escape, she just wanted to push hard, or attack the opponent's abdomen... But she just couldn't do it, Her heart was shrouded in different emotions, beating complicatedly, but panic and fear swelled up little by little, "I..." She could only helplessly open her eyes wide, watching Zoe's face slowly approaching her, accompanied by There was the sound of something breaking.

When she could even feel Zoe's breath, her approach cast a shadow in Hermione's vision, and Hermione seemed to have been disarmed, and she thought Zoe must want to kiss her, just like the previous time She clenched her fists tightly, trembling unconsciously, and closed her eyes with a blank mind.

But to her surprise, there was no feeling on the lips or anywhere that should appear when kissing, and being in the dark would only make her think more wildly.Hermione opened her eyes little by little, and found that Zoe was only a short distance away from her. She could still feel Zoe's thin breath hitting the tip of her nose, but what was contained in the clear sea blue reflection was Self-deprecating and embarrassing.

"What do you think I'll do? Do you think I'll forcefully kiss you without your will? I'm not as shameless as that, but in this way, I can be sure..." She gently Letting go of Hermione, she watched Hermione step back out of reach from her position, watching herself warily.

"Sure enough, it's not that you want to think about something, it's just because you're afraid, afraid of me, afraid of how I feel about you, so you want to run away, so you're vigilant, so you don't want me to go any further. "Zoe whispered, she was clearly talking about something that made her heartache, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I see, you have already made a choice, Hermione."

Zooey closed her eyes in frustration like a withered plant in an instant, she gritted her teeth, trying to make herself not look so sad, so that she didn't seem to care so much: "This is wrong, Zooey... We are all girls, how can we do such a thing? This is an abnormal and unreasonable behavior." Hermione said dryly, she also lowered her head, and did not refute Zoe's speculation.

"But you responded to me." Zooey looked at her seriously, hoping to detect even a trace of hesitation and intolerance from Hermione's face, "No matter what you say now, you responded to me back then, didn't you? You want to say that all this was just a whim? I said don't take me for a fool!"

"I was not sober at that time! I was attacked by a dementor, and I just took chocolate! I...I..." Hermione actually hated saying this kind of shirk responsibility, but she had no choice, Zoe's words It's like a knife that repeatedly gouges her heart, and every time it is implemented, it will repeat "yes, I responded" in her mind, but she is unwilling to continue to think about it, which will make her face the truth directly. Things you don't want to face, "I was so hyper! Can't be held accountable for what I did at the time! So it must have been a special case..."

"Special circumstances... Didn't you have even a moment of love for me? You want to say that our behavior at that time was just an illusion?" But Hermione was sullen. Although she was shaken by Zoe's words, she stood in front of her The invisible wall stopped her, "...Yes, it was just an illusion. I was just infected by the atmosphere at that time, I couldn't control myself, it was an accident."

"So you're saying I don't have any chance?" Zooey's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she restrained herself to at least look calm, because she didn't want to show even a little weakness at this time.

"I don't like this, and I don't want to be like this... Zoe, we are just friends, and only friends." Following these words that seemed to sum it up, the atmosphere flowing between the two seemed to have completely frozen.As if Hermione had found her backbone, the muscle lines on her face became stiff, which made her attitude look severe.

She stood up, holding a single corned beef sandwich on a plate. "We need to keep our distance, Zoe, so we can definitely return to the 'normal' that we used to be. That kind of feeling is fake, you are just blinded by illusion, you need to calm down and think rationally." She finished speaking in one breath, but that The figure who was leaving quickly seemed to be running away. Until she opened the door, she didn't look at Zoe once, and she didn't even say goodbye.

The girl who passed her scratched her hair in confusion, making the already messy hair even more messy.But when she looked at Zoe, who was frowning and didn't know whether she was sad or angry, her mind wandered, and she vaguely noticed something.

"What's wrong with Hermione? You made her cry again." Luna sat down carelessly.

"Luna, why do you always say that all the mistakes are caused by me and caused by me?" Zoe said irritably, she felt that she was falling continuously, and everything around her turned black, But she hasn't bottomed out yet, she's still falling, and with it comes a great sense of emptiness and despondency.But her heart was beating faster than usual, she suppressed her desire to shout loudly, and said in a trembling tone.

"Okay, I apologize, it was just a joke." Of course, Luna could see that her current state was very wrong, and she didn't intend to continue to stimulate her. "What's wrong with you two, did you quarrel?"

"...I don't want to talk about this right now." Zooey was silent for a long time before she managed to squeeze out this sentence. She almost fainted on the bed: "Have you had breakfast?" Luna also changed the subject, "I think The sausages this morning were ok and the mashed potatoes were delicious, but the sandwiches just sucked."

"Yeah, the sandwiches are really bad." Zoe said gloomily, and Luna was glad that she hadn't given up on communicating with others, "It's fine with the corned beef, but there are lettuce leaves in it, I don't know which genius elf is it 'Great' idea. My mouth is now full of the bitter taste of lettuce leaves, even if I drink hot cocoa." But what bitterness in the mouth can compare with the pain in the heart?Zooey even hoped that she could have a little more bitterness in her mouth, so that she could divert her attention.

"Then you are lucky, Zoe." Luna said with a smile, and then she rummaged through every pocket, and finally found a piece of Honeydukes chocolate from one of them, "The amount you helped me bring last time Too much for me to finish. Don't you like chocolate? I thought you didn't have breakfast, so I brought you some. Now is the time to clean up the smell."

Zooey took it in a daze, and she smiled weakly at Luna, thanking her for her kindness, but she still couldn't get out of her gaffe.She tore open the package, broke a piece of chocolate with her hands, and put it into her mouth to chew, but she looked like she was chewing something unpalatable.

"It's unpalatable..." She muttered softly while chewing, "It's too bitter."

Luna blinked in surprise, knowing that this is Honeydukes’ high-end chocolate. Although it has a slightly bitter taste, it is soft and silky, and the taste is sweet. It makes people feel tired: "Bitter? Have you been cursed?" She repeated suspiciously, and wanted to break off a small piece to taste it.

But Zooey avoided her hand, biting directly on the chocolate as if she was discouraged, and no matter whether there was water dripping on her hand or slipping down her fingers, she just complained repeatedly and stubbornly that "it tastes bad", Use this kind of excuse that anyone with a little IQ can see through to disguise themselves.

Luna didn't say a word for the next time, she sat quietly, thinking of herself as a silent creeper.Neither tried to comfort Zooey nor asked what happened to Zooey, but only waited for the intermittent suppressed sobbing to gradually stop and even the heavy breathing to gradually calm down before taking out her handkerchief and handing it to her. past.
