Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Cooperate with me a little bit." Before Harry could understand the meaning of the words she suddenly whispered in his ear, Zooey headed towards Hermione at the moment when the passionate and rapid drumbeat sounded at the beginning At that time, it was the opportunity for Harry to loosen his hands around her waist in order to cooperate with her, but he didn't expect Zoe to make such an abrupt movement, and Harry had to immediately lift the hand that was raised high. Stretching out his hand was not only to hold Zoe, but also to keep himself balanced.

Hermione had always had a feeling of unreality, she thought it was impossible to see Zoe here, let alone see her choosing Harry as a partner.She originally agreed to Krum's invitation to avoid Zoe and avoid these things that would make her feel sad, but now she seems to be completely independent of all of this, and the music in her ears seems to be completely distorted , the scenery in her eyes was also blurred, she was standing in such a world, even the voice of Viktor who invited her could not let her break free from this restraint.

After entering the dance floor, she just repeated mechanically according to her instinct and the three-legged cat kung fu she had learned, mainly relying on Krum to lead her movements. Even if she was accidentally stepped on a few times, Krum did not flinch Or it hurts, but still pay attention not to let her fall down.

"Don't be nervous." He thought Hermione was just not used to dancing under the gaze of so many people, and he comforted her softly.

But Hermione didn't know whether to let the words choke in her throat or not.She actually had a shameful expectation for Zoe's appearance in her heart.Yes, shameful.Hermione wanted to slap herself. She hoped that Zoe's abnormal behavior was for her, because she also had feelings for her, even if it was probably just her own wishful thinking.

But at the same time, she felt angry, and felt that such a self was too entangled.She appreciates decisive people, and hopes to become such a person, instead of worrying about gains and losses and stalking like she is now.But she also has no experience, and she doesn't know how to deal with these inexplicable emotions that come out from time to time.

She decided to leave early after this dance. Maybe she was sorry for Krum, but she didn't have much mood to dance and relax now. She hadn't finished reading the book she borrowed before. Maybe she could go back to the lounge early, and then Sit by the fire and enjoy some uninterrupted reading time...

She was obediently guided by Krum, and when she was about to put her free hand on Krum's side after turning around, another person grabbed her hand tightly. Krum's hand is because that hand is soft and delicate, not at all the touch of Krum's callused hands after years of scrambling on the court.

The owner of that hand was not satisfied with just grabbing, and even pulled Hermione back when Hermione's center of gravity was unstable.With an exclamation, Hermione let go of Krum's hand subconsciously, trying to support the ground before she fell, but of course she didn't fall to the ground, but fell into someone's arms.

As soon as Zooey caught Hermione, she took Harry a few steps forward (during which she bumped into one or two students who stood in front of her, causing a burst of complaints), and Harry was facing Crewe. Mu's face, which was no longer purely gloomy, but wide-eyed in astonishment because of the sudden incident, could not help but smile awkwardly.

Hermione carefully opened her eyes, and there was a sea in her eyes. At this time, instead of holding her in her arms, Zooey took her hand and wrapped her waist around her, getting very close to her. As a result, as soon as Hermione opened her eyes, she directly met Zoe's complacent gaze.

With the thick tones of the cello joining in, the music that seemed irritable and monotonous before seems to have experienced another turning point, becoming mellow and gentle but still cheerful. The first sound of the bow pulling the strings may be heard by others It was nothing in her ears, but it exploded in Hermione's ears like thunder.When she looked at the sea blue, the voices and figures that had been ignored by her before suddenly broke through the hazy barrier, and all kinds of noises rushed over.

Of course Zooey knew she was opening and closing her mouth to say something, but she wouldn't give Hermione the chance, at least not yet.She pulled Hermione to match the rhythm, took advantage of the situation to avoid Krum's approach, and walked towards the direction close to the exit.

"Zo, Zoe...?" Hermione stammered and danced around, staring at her in disbelief.

"Just take half the distance forward in the next step, don't take too many steps at once, Hermione." Zooey completely ignored her surprise, but whispered in her ear, Hermione's ear Shaking after being blown, she finally noticed the environment they were in and the people around them. Hermione became more and more at a loss, so she had to do what Zoe said first.

"Pull me...that's right...don't be nervous..." Hermione got used to it quickly, her movements gradually became lively, and the sound of her heartbeat rang in her ears like a fierce drumbeat, but it was not low-pitched and depressing of.She suddenly realized the fact that the person she was dancing with now was the person she most wanted to see.It’s like a scene that has only existed in fantasy has finally come true. Even if dancing with friends doesn’t make people mind, but dancing with someone you like is not just the body moving and spinning, but even the heart. It became light and fluttering, as if it was about to fly into the sky.

Zooey could feel that Hermione's body, which had been stiff before, was slowly relaxing. She was getting used to accepting physical contact with Zooey, and she was willing to take the initiative to get close to her, instead of staying away as she expected in the worst situation.Ecstasy was like hot magma ejected from the rock formation. When her fingertips brushed against the comfortable dress and caressed Hermione's exposed skin, Zooey couldn't help but want to kiss it.

"Who can tell me what's going on?" Krum was completely out of the situation. Although he didn't know why Potter's partner would suddenly snatch his partner away halfway, he just dragged Hermione into the dance. played a song.But still subconsciously want to chase after.

"Please make way, Potter." He calmly said something to the boy standing in front of him first, and then planned to go around Harry and catch up.But after he confronted Harry head-on for the third time, anyone who wasn't a real fool could see that Harry was planning to block his way.

"Get out of the way!" Krum growled, fists clenched.He realized something was out of control...

"Calm down, Krum. I don't want to do that either." Harry held up his hands with a mournful face, and the two boys became the focus of attention just like the other side, but they looked even more ridiculous. "Then don't stand in front of me." Just as Krum was about to shake Harry off, Harry once again showed his agility as a Quidditch player and stopped in front of Krum.

"I was forced!" Although Harry said so, "but I also think everything should be decided by themselves."

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Krum stopped anxiously, and his face became gloomy again.

"Actually, even I myself don't know what I'm talking about or what I'm doing." When the last trembling note fell from the organ, Harry noticed two figures flashing away in the direction of the door from the corner of his eye. I can't laugh or cry in my heart.He probably will never forget this year's prom in his life. At first, he thought that something good might happen, but now he is about to be punched by Krum, who turned into a rage, and then collapsed under the witness of many students. I can't afford it.

"Wait, wait!" As soon as he walked out of the ballroom, the air suddenly became cold.Hermione shivered, and her mind, which was still immersed in the warm atmosphere before, suddenly woke up. She anxiously looked at Zoe who was walking in front, and pulled her back with all her strength, trying to stop Zoe from pulling her forward. pace of.

Zooey didn't really want to take her anywhere, she just took Hermione out aimlessly, looking for a place where there were no people.She felt Hermione's resistance, so she stopped. The corridor near the hall was empty, only the bright moonlight came in through the window, and there was loud music behind her, but it seemed to be isolated from another world.

"Very good." Zooey said to herself, "Maybe just being here is enough?"

"What are you talking about?" Hermione stepped forward and just put her hands on Zoe's shoulders, "I don't understand why you did this today..." She was about to complain about her emotions because she was scared, Zooey turned around suddenly, not only the hand she was holding before, she even held the other hand firmly, as if worried that if she didn't hold Hermione tightly, she would slam It seemed to disappear from her with a bang.

"I..." Zooey felt her mouth was dry, her mind was dizzy, and her breathing became heavy.She kept repeating what Fleur and Max had instilled in her in her heart, and it wasn't that she didn't listen to it. On the contrary, it was because she partly agreed with this point of view that today's "hijacking" happened.

But she didn't want to be misunderstood by Hermione. She did these things just to tell her her own feelings, not to dominate anyone from a high position, and she didn't want to make herself look high.And according to what Furong said, she can't be as free and easy as she is, and she can't simply fall in love or give up.

There is very little she can do. "Zoe...?" Hermione carefully embraced the girl who suddenly came up to her, and she could clearly feel that Zooey was trembling and afraid of something.But she hugged her so tightly that for a moment Hermione found it hard to breathe.

"...I like you, Hermione." Zooey whispered in her ear, "This is neither hallucination nor fascination, I will prove it to you."
