Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Thank you." Zooey replied with gritted teeth.Even if it is her own advantage, it still makes her feel very uncomfortable to show it in this way.When Harry took her back to Ron and the others, he really got a look of astonishment from Ron first.

"It's actually true!" He said in a daze, "I thought you were being teased, or you saw some hallucinations after being cast a spell..." Lavender next to him was also unnatural. Looking at Harry and then at Zooey, "It's so beautiful... Do you like Harry, Siegel?" She finally asked Zooey this question stupidly.

Harry showed an embarrassed expression for a moment. You must know that he had listened to Zoe's confession (if he was not mistaken) completely at that time, and now Lavender (or maybe someone else who didn't know) ) had such an idea. "To be honest, you don't quite... fit..." Lavender's next sentence made Harry cough, which mainly refers to the importance attached to this dinner. Harry just put on his dress, even Not even his bangs, which are always up, didn't take a lot of work.

And Zoe was shining.If the importance attached to the prom can be seen from her attire, then Zoe seems to be ready to go with every pore. "Why did you choose Harry?" Lavender poked Zoe's arm and asked curiously when they started walking towards the direction where the crowd gathered.

Zooey first looked at Lavender with a non-obvious scrutiny: "It's a coincidence." Finally, she said bluntly.

"Didn't you see that other boys are looking at you? Even those senior students, even if you stand among the girls, you are very dazzling." Lavender said savoringly. She glanced at Ron and found that He was also a little distracted, but his eyes were not on Zoe, but on the farther side, Fleur Delacour who walked down the stairs on the other side with his head held high.Next to her was Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch school team, wearing a particularly conspicuous silver-gray satin dress, very glamorous and moving.

They had come to the foyer at this time, and the students were all gathered nearby, because the doors of the auditorium would not officially open until the dance began (that is, at eight o'clock, and it was still about 10 minutes away), and they chose one that could see clearly. There were not too many people standing around, but Ron still chose to avoid when Fleur was walking this way. He had uncontrollably invited Fleur before, and he still had so many people watching in the hall.

Zooey saw Fu Rong wink at her, and she nodded to Fu Rong, anyway, she owed Fu Rong a favor.After Fleur and her distraught partner left, just as Lavender became curious about the interaction between Zoe and Fleur and was about to ask, a surprised and slightly annoyed voice sounded from the side .

"Zoe?" Draco looked at Zoe and Harry beside her. Even though he had almost stopped thinking, these clues could still let him understand what the situation was, "Potter, Don't touch her with your dirty hands!"

Crabbe and Goyle, who had been standing behind him, took a step forward. They were both wearing green dresses. Their burly figures looked like two huge rocks. Draco was followed by Pansy, who was wearing a light pink dress. tux, holding Draco's hand tightly, he struggled twice to free his hand.

Draco strode directly to Harry, and was about to grab Harry by the collar when Zoe grabbed him. "Don't make trouble here, Draco," she said softly. "I asked Potter to come to the ball with him. He didn't do anything to me."

But Draco still didn't believe it, and she could only pull him to the other side first.Since their appearance, the atmosphere has suddenly become tense. The relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin has never been good, let alone the relationship between Harry and Draco who have been enemies for several years.

"You are very well dressed today." Draco admired, "I said before that if you had attended my dance earlier, you would have been the most dazzling star."

"You know I'm not interested in any of this." Zooey said helplessly. "So what's going on? Why did you suddenly find Potter?" Draco asked suspiciously, "You're not the kind of person who is fascinated by the identity of a warrior, and you don't like places like balls where there are many people. , I can't find a reason that can convince me."

Zooey hesitated, should she tell Draco the truth here?Or blur the past first? "I know several moves that can confuse people's minds. If you are attacked by one of them and I fail to stop it, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

"...Well, I'll tell you the truth, don't worry," Zoe said, "but give me some time, I can't talk to you here. Draco, let me get ready, okay? "

Draco looked at her for a long time: "Aren't you really forced? Of course I would be worried. To me, you are far more than just an ordinary friend. We can almost be regarded as growing up together. You just Like my family, like my sister... If I know who you are being bullied by, of course I will beat that person up."

"...Yeah." Zooey patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, Draco." The boy became uncomfortable instead.

When they came back again, they found that people on both sides were still vigilant about each other's every move. "You guys don't want to fight here, do you?" Draco stopped the two big men, and Pansy was not in a good mood.He turned to look at Harry and sneered, "I warn you, Potter, if you dare to touch Zoe, I will break your limbs myself."

"You dare to give it a try..." Harry held Ron, and sneered, "When will it be your turn to meddle in my business, Malfoy? Look at you dressed up, why don't you go to work in church? Ah , I forgot, with your stinky face, no one would be willing to pray to you." He pointed at Draco's black dress.

It is natural to break up unhappy, when the hall clock rang.The oaken front door opened slowly from both sides, and the students who were closest at first had to pay attention not to fall forward themselves.

Durmstrang's people came, and under Karkaroff's guidance, their students wore all kinds of dresses and passed through the crowd neatly. The students retreated to the sides unconsciously. open.Zooey saw Krum in the front, she took a deep breath, and then saw Hermione beside him.

She hadn't seen Hermione dressed like this before.You must know that this girl used to not pay much attention to her appearance. She never took the time to take care of her messy long hair, and her robes were changed because she always carried a bag (at least a dozen books in it). Get crumpled.It made her look slovenly and unattractive.

But now the somewhat dry, shaggy mess is done, and it's completely soft and smooth.Hermione tied her hair back into a bun, a bit like the one Professor McGonagall usually combs, which is more youthful without looking childish.She was wearing a dress made of light purple and blue fabric, and she looked a little nervous. She was holding Krum's arm, which made Zooey feel extremely intrusive.

She didn't try to meet Hermione through the crowd of students, so just by appearing in front of Hermione, she would be even more embarrassed than she is now, and that would be exposed to her "enemies". It should be avoided anyway.

But she didn't have to think so much, just when Harry and the others didn't know whether to stand still or follow the crowd into the auditorium, Professor McGonagall hurried out from the other side and shouted loudly.

"All warriors, please come here."

The students in the entire foyer heard this sentence, and they were all willing to give up their seats when the warriors passed by them. Of course, this also made the warriors and their dance partners the focus of everyone's attention. Zoe In the short few dozen steps, I felt two or three times more intense gazes than before, but not all friendly or amazed gazes, there were also quite a few jealous and hostile gazes.

When they arrived at the place where Professor McGonagall was standing, they found that Fleur and Roger were already standing by the door.As soon as Cedric and Cho (Harry unconsciously wanted to turn his eyes there) arrived, they exchanged glances, and Cedric had always been grateful to Harry for reminding him before.

The last group that came belatedly was Krum and Hermione. Hermione was a little absent-minded at first, but when she looked up and saw the familiar face, she froze in place. "Zo, Zoe?" After a while, she forced out an ugly, stiff smile.

"Good evening, Hermione." Totally different from Hermione's fidgeting, Zooey showed a gentle smile, as if she didn't mind Krum by Hermione's side at all, and she still had time to talk to him kindly. Say hello, "Good evening, Krum."
