Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"I'll get you something to eat." Krum didn't wait for Hermione to refuse, patted her on the shoulder, and stood up.Hermione originally wanted to refuse, but Krum squeezed out a slightly comforting smile on his always gloomy face. Hermione just felt discouraged. She really felt sad, tired and hungry, Actually let Krum leave.

She waited for Krum at the corner outside the library, and in less than five minutes, Krum ran back with some wrapped bread in his arms. "It's not very good to bring out the drink. It's only convenient. How about I take you back to Durmstrang's boat and eat with us." He stuffed the bread into Hermione's hand and wiped it Sweat off his head.

Hermione shook her head, and they leaned against a nearby wall. "Thank you, Viktor." Hermione tore the bread into small pieces. "You're not alone. When I went to the auditorium just now, Potter and the red-haired boy were still discussing why they didn't see you here."

Hermione only ate one piece of bread and rewrapped the rest. They stood for a while before returning to the library. "If you don't mind..." Krum pointed to himself, "I can listen to you."

After eating something, Hermione's mood became much more stable. She smiled at Krum: "Thank you." She was silent for a long time, "Actually, I don't know how to start."

"It's okay, it's very common." Krum comforted her, and after thinking about it, he gave up his plan to put his hand on Hermione's.He didn't want to spoil his impression in the slightest.

"...We were fined to stay in school to work yesterday." Hermione looked away, looking as if she was talking to herself, "Actually, this is already considered a very light punishment, it's just a fine for cleaning. That person is also here .”

"Just the two of you?" Hermione shook her head. "There is another person besides me, a girl with a very peculiar personality, but very cute, we are all friends, and we did that together." Krum frowned.

"We split the work, and we ended up going to clean the bathroom together. Then I went to do my share, thinking about getting it done as soon as possible and finding a chance to be alone with that person for a while, to get up the courage...that was it. I think so, until I heard those words." Hermione clenched her fists, looking angry and painful at the same time.

Krum saw the Snitch loitering in front of him, but his opponent turned around and didn't see it.It's an opportunity, but it's not ripe..."It's okay, if you don't want to say it..."

"It's okay, I've thought about it." Hermione lowered her head, "It's just that the things I've been worried about all this time suddenly became reality, and my body was surrounded by a sense of weightlessness. At that time, I even felt that the bricks on the ground were cracked , the broken hole will bury me in it... That person likes someone else, but he probably can't say it, so he always wants to tactfully alienate me, but I just don't understand it, and I'm lucky I thought those were just my illusions, and I was just messing around like me."

"How do you think he likes someone else? That bastard has a showdown with you?" Krum asked angrily.

"It's not like that. It's just that I heard that the guy wanted to date another girl. And the guy said it doesn't matter who I dance with, because it's my damn right," said Hermione. "I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away. But I didn't want that person to feel that I was left behind and sad. I didn't need to hear an explanation. I heard everything! I didn't want to be at that time because Crying about this kind of thing! To be honest, I want to slap my face, first slap myself, and then slap that person!"

"But before I did this, our administrator arrived first. I didn't do it. If it takes a few more minutes, I probably won't be able to bear the anger..." Hermione's momentum continued Weakened, "Later, I went back to the dormitory and slept with my head covered. I didn't have any dreams, but after waking up, there was something constantly trying to disturb me. I hate this feeling of being out of control. It's almost Turn me into someone I don't know!"

"Forget about him, what you need now is to use more good memories to cover up this bad thing." Krum said, Wei Wei leaned forward. "As long as you are willing to tell me the name of that person, I will find a chance to duel with him and make him regret for breaking your heart." Hermione refused, and Krum put it down temporarily.

"You need a place to relax, don't you think a complete carnival, delicious food and a happy atmosphere can make your mood recover faster?" Klum said sincerely, "I said it before, I The invitation has not expired, I don't want you to keep thinking about those unhappy things, you have stretched yourself too tight, you need to relax, it's a good experience to dance."

"No, Viktor," said Hermione, "this kind of thing is despicable, and you'll make me hate myself even more."

"It's not meanness, it's what you want. I'm just showing my sincerity, and I hope to bring you happiness." Krum said, feeling that he had found the first step to victory .

"You're right, I need to relax. But I can go in alone, eat, and watch Harry dance. I'm already in the fourth grade."

"But that just makes you lonelier. Your mates are going to find their own dance partner and they won't be with you all the time, you need a dance partner who can move with you during the day or listen to you when you need to Talk." Krum said, "I won't be too much, and I won't make you feel troubled, just treat it as a dance with your friends, if you really don't want to, I won't force you to take some What kind of role—in fact, it would help me a lot, I haven't found a dance partner yet, and the Yule Ball is only a few days away."

"But as long as you make this request, I can guarantee that nearly half of the girls in the castle will be willing to become this role. You don't have to chase after a certain person..."

"I just don't want to," Krum said. "I'm attracted to you, so I want to ask you to be my dance partner. This is something I am sure I want to do. I am not a person who gives up so easily. You can't be a good Quidditch player, just one rejection, I don't think I'm going to quit because of it, you're belittling your own charm."

"Besides, it's because you were underestimated by that bastard that you should let him know his mistake, shouldn't you?" Hermione was silent, and it took her a long time before she spoke. "Yeah, I shouldn't be moaning like a bitch here, even if it's all over, I'll let her know that I can live well on my own." Hermione spoke in a low voice, just a paragraph of self Just talking to myself.Krum knew she was thinking about it.

"Whether we will start here or not, at least I now want to invite you again as a friend. I hope you can be my dance partner and go to the Christmas ball with me—"

*******

"You said Krum invited you?" Zooey desperately endured the emotional outburst. Hermione just left Luna and told them lightly that she met Durmstrang's son in the library at noon today. Warrior Viktor Krum, and then Krum invited her to the Yule Ball.

"That nose monster likes you?!" Luna knew she shouldn't laugh, but she still kept her face away. This title was given by herself when she and Zoe were talking about a few warriors, because Krum had a big eagle. hooked nose.Now Zoe suddenly used it, and it was obviously based on angry ugliness.

"Pay attention to your words, Zoe." Hermione frowned, "Victor is a nice person, it would be too rude of you to say that."

"Victor? You've already started calling him by his name? Why don't you call him Wicky?" Zooey felt a rush of heat rushing to her forehead. She wanted to hold back the emotions that were about to run out of control, but she couldn't. Do it right away.

"So you're going to accuse me of what I call my friends? Did I call you 'Siegel'? Don't make me look down on you, Zoe." Hermione was also angry, although she had shown calm before , now seeing Zoe's panic-stricken look, it was impossible to remain indifferent, and the flame in her heart was naturally drawn out.

"Friend? Don't you know that man wants to date you!" Zooey was extremely annoyed, "He wanted to chase you, so he used his status as a friend as an excuse!" Hermione was not to be outdone. "You're a love expert again, aren't you? I have a clear conscience! And if anything happens between me and Krum, it's none of your business! 'It's my right', not your own Did you say that? What right do you have to control who I want to dance with?"

Hermione took a step back, and she hid the anger and emotions in her heart again in the cold mask.

"I accepted Viktor's invitation to be his dance partner at the Christmas party. I just wanted to talk about it."
