Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Hermion..." When Krum finally got rid of Harry and rushed out of the auditorium, he saw Hermione not far away standing in the corridor with her head down, wondering what she was thinking, and there was no one else around her.

Krum rushed over and stopped beside Hermione: "What happened?" He held back the anxiety in his heart, because from the look of confusion on Hermione's face, it could be seen that something must have happened during his absence. something.

It took Hermione a while to come back to her senses, and shook her head at Krum.

"Is it because of the person who broke your heart?" Krum asked, "Did that girl come to intercede for that guy just now?" He remembered that Hermione had said that there was another girl among them that night, Guess whether it will be Potter's partner. "Where's that girl?" He looked around, but there was no one there.

"...Zoe's gone back." Hermione said dryly, looking out the window absentmindedly. "Is she here to intercede?" Krum asked again, and Hermione shook her head and nodded again, but then she fell silent.

"Then shall we go back and continue dancing?" Krum took Hermione's hand and pointed to the brightly lit auditorium behind him. This time, the Weird Sisters played a lively repertoire.

"...Sorry, Viktor. I'm not in the mood right now..." Hermione forced a smile and declined the invitation. "I'm in a mess right now, and I'm trying to believe what she's saying because I don't feel a semblance of deceit, but I'm kind of... stuck. It's all so sudden, I think I need a little time. "

And officially respond to this feeling.Hermione knew that her answer had already been decided, but before she could say anything, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, Zoe let go of her, and gave her a firm look, Hermione saw When her face and ears were flushed, she gave Hermione a subtle smile and looked like she was going to faint.

In the end, she just found a reason and ran away. "Is your face hot, Hermion?" Krum took off the jacket of the dress on his body, "Be careful of catching cold." Hermione originally wanted to refuse. "Come on, if you don't want to go back to the ball, how about we go for a walk? It's cold outside, you can feel better wearing this."

"And you, I can go back to the lounge and get a coat," said Hermione. "No, I'm in good shape, and I've told you about Durmstrang before, we've already gotten used to the cold. Let's wear it." Seeing that Hermione was hesitant, he directly stuffed the coat under her hand.

"Let's go." Krum was not very happy, Zoe's appearance had brought about a great change, and now he didn't know what Hermione really thought.But he still really wanted to let Hermione go out to relax, so that he could better find out what Hermione was thinking.

When Zoe returned to Ravenclaw's lounge, there were only a few junior students in the huge lounge. They couldn't look away after seeing Zoe's dress, and they thought that others couldn't hear them. After discussing at the sound level, Zooey went straight to Luna who was lying on the sofa and kept blowing out colorful bubbles.

"Huh? Zoe!" Luna's multicolored bubbles hit Zoe's dress, but they didn't break. The bubbles blown out by this gadget bought in Hogsmeade are very tough, not easy to burst, and can be stretched. out of various shapes.More expensive varieties are said to be able to make a biological cry when shaped.

"You came back so early. Furong and the others haven't come back yet." Luna sat up and moved a seat for Zooey, and Zooey sat down directly as if she didn't care about crumpling the new dress, sighing He took a deep breath.

"What happened?" Luna stuffed the slender straw into the jar, and leaned over, "Didn't you say you were going to find Hermione to clarify, how is the situation now? The misunderstanding between you is resolved." Is it gone?"

"Come one by one, I'm still sorting out my mood..." Zooey said uncomfortably, "I, I made it clear... Maybe I made it clear." She intertwined her fingers on her knees, not sure typical.

"Why? Didn't you make it clear?" Luna asked in surprise, "How did Hermione answer you?"

"I don't know," Zoe said.

"I don't know?" Luna was stunned. Based on what she knew about Zoe, she thought of a terrible possibility, "You can't just run away after finishing what you wanted to say..."

Zooey froze for a moment: "Well... I didn't listen to Hermione's answer... I just told her that I would let her know that I really like her..." Luna cleared her throat, and in front of Zooey Yi rolled his eyes. "I think you're really hopeless."

"Do you want to continue to dump her to Krum and spend time alone with him?" After Luna finished speaking, she noticed that Zooey's face suddenly darkened, and she immediately stood up and wanted to go out. Luna pulled her away desperately. stopped her.After talking a lot, Zooey gave up the idea of ​​rushing back to the auditorium.

"Since you have taken the first step, Hermione didn't refuse you, doesn't it mean that you have a great chance?" Luna sighed, and looked at Zooey who covered her face and shrank herself into the sofa, "Don't think too much." Duo, since you are going to declare that you want to start a war, you must also be prepared for a protracted war."

What Luna didn't say was that she didn't think that Viktor Krum would have much of a chance.Because Hermione didn't seem to be indifferent to Zooey's feelings at all, otherwise she wouldn't be so shaken by what Zooey said.Maybe these two people will be sticky and sticky together starting tomorrow, at least Luna doesn't like this Mr. player who came out halfway.

A sleepless night.Zoe got up early the next day, and Luna and she both went to bed early, unlike students like Fleur who left after the dance after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night (students like them of course also went to bed the next day. can't get up), both of them went to bed early.Zooey originally thought that she would toss and turn because of the prom, but she didn't expect that she fell asleep too quickly, and didn't even have time to care about Max or have a dream. As soon as she closed her eyes and opened her eyes, she looked at the wall clock and it was already morning.

They left the lounge together, and met few people along the way, most of them were lower grade students.The air in the morning was very fresh, even inside the castle, there was a bitter chill.But Zoe has never recognized the warmth of the cloak more than this morning, especially after she had experienced the baptism of the dress last night.

The auditorium has been restored to its previous appearance, and there is no trace of last night's carnival. The hard work of the elves is the foundation for the students to sit here and enjoy breakfast the next day.It is still very early, and most of the students sitting at the table are in the third grade and below, and there are also a few students in the sixth and seventh grades who are not interested in the prom itself (more people have been to the prom, but they are interested in the warriors and curious about the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament).

Zoe also spotted Daisy on the other side of the Ravenclaw table, chatting and laughing with her friends, with a lovely, relaxed smile for her age.When she noticed Zoe's gaze, she was stunned for a while. She was also one of the students who stayed in the lounge last night, but she was different from those students who showed obvious curiosity. Except for the first time, she was stunned. Didn't even look over.

Just when Zooey thought that Daisy would ignore her like this, Daisy nodded to her slightly.But there was no more movement, and she lowered her head again to talk to her friends.

The owls will not forget their duties because of this grand dinner, but the number of owls flying to each table this morning is more than half less than before.A beautiful arc was drawn in the air, and a barn owl flapped its wings and stopped beside Zoe. It had a small bag on its body and a small wooden tube tied to its feet. It was a delivery owl.

Zoe took a copy of the "Daily Prophet" from it, and after it flapped its wings and left, opened the newspaper.There was a picture of deja vu posted on a certain report. There were four characters on stage, but only two people appeared as protagonists, and one of the protagonists was even more familiar. Zoe could see that photo in the mirror every day. Face.

"Harry Potter's Twisted Love History--New Love and Old Love Fight? - by Rita Skeeter.

The moment she saw the title and the author, Zooey put down the newspaper. "Aren't you watching?" Luna asked suspiciously. "Eat first, I won't be angry... It should be said that even if I want to be angry, I have to wait until I finish eating." Zooey took a big bite of bread and said fiercely.
