Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Here you are, Potter." Three days later, when a potions class was over, lions and snakes filed out of the gloomy potions classroom, and those who had classes would detour to the next class, and those who had no classes People can choose to do what they want to do.Zoe was waiting at the corner of the stairs, and after she spotted Harry and the others (you could hear them complaining about Snape's behavior in class again), she went up to them.

"Listen, drink before you go into the water, and get into the water as soon as possible after that, don't stay on the shore for too long, be careful of suffocation." Zoe stuffed the small black bottle to Harry, "If you go well, you can stay underwater longer than others Long."

"If it goes well?" Ron stared at her. "What does that mean?"

"That means maybe the changes I've made haven't had the effect they should—don't look at me like that, Weasley, I won't hurt your friend. I've tried it myself, and the potion itself was successful. But if you If you come up earlier than the potion wears off and you're having trouble breathing, drink this." She handed Harry another red vial.

"Drink the black bottle at the beginning and the red bottle at the end... thank you," repeated Harry.Zooey noticed that the marks on his face had disappeared, and she was also relieved, so at least she didn't have to look at the injured face, and she didn't have to feel awkward.

"I'm paying you back, you deserve it." She said bluntly, but her tone was much more sincere, "You helped me, I will remember, thank you." Hermione blushed a little.This was the first time, and Zooey felt that she might be able to get along well with Potter.

"I can't stay here for too long. Even if Professor Snape acquiesces, he will not allow me to do such a thing in front of him." Zooey glanced at the heavy wooden door not far away, "Okay, that's it... um... the game, let's go."

Looking at the back of Zoe hurriedly leaving, "Did she just cheer you up, Harry." Ron turned to look at Harry, "This is the most candid time I have seen Siegel since I entered school. , even if you tell me today is the end of the world - I wouldn't be surprised."

"Let's go to the library," Hermione suggested. "Please, Hermione. Now that Harry has a countermeasure, why can't we take some time to relax? George and the others have improved the prank wand before. Are you interested in trying it, Harry?" Ron invited nonchalantly said, Harry quickly agreed.

"You boys!" Hermione was a little annoyed, she carried her big satchel on her back and left, "I won't care about you next time!" The two boys looked at each other, but they didn't take the angry words seriously , if Hermione would really leave them behind in times of crisis, then she wouldn't be Hermione Granger.

Hermione walked up the spiral stone stairs angrily, these two unprogressive guys!When you are thinking wildly in your mind, you will ignore the attention to reality.Hermione had only taken a few steps in the corridor when someone behind her gently patted her on the shoulder.

Looking back, Krum raised his hand to her. "Let's go for a walk together, Hermi...Henien." Even though he tried to adjust the pronunciation halfway, he failed in the end, "The weather is fine today, we can go around the lake..."

Before Hermione could answer, another familiar voice came over.Zooey smiled slightly, with her usual politeness when talking to strangers, but she stepped in unquestionably: "Sorry, Hermione, I'm late." She didn't wait for Krum to speak, Looking directly at Hermione, "Didn't we agree to go to the library together, let's go?" Then turned to look at Krum apologetically, "Sorry, Krum, we made an appointment before..."

"Is that so?" Krum frowned. Obviously, he couldn't forget Zoe's face soon, let alone what Zoe did at the ball left a deep impression on him. "Didn't you just walk up the stairs over there when I came here just now?" He pointed to the stairs leading to the basement.

"Sorry, Viktor. She just came up and waited for me... we..." Hermione blushed, feeling ashamed of lying to her friend, "We did make an appointment to go to the library together."

"It's just the two of us." Krum didn't say anything before Zooey interrupted.Hermione gave her a slight push.

"Okay, ladies first." Krum shrugged and looked at Hermione again, "Can you give me a chance next time?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. We will take the exam next year. The importance of OWLs is unquestionable, so we have to study hard. I think you have also experienced similar exams." Listening from Hermione's perspective, Zoe It was a bit aggressive, but Krum was not familiar with her, so he would not have noticed the unusual attitude of the girl in front of him.

"Indeed. Although our examinations are different from those here... I have also experienced the pressure before preparing for the examination." Krum nodded, "Of course I don't want to disturb Hermion because of me."

Zoe smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, Krum. How is your preparation for the game? Many people in our courtyard are your fans, and they have been discussing what the next game will be all day long. You are confident." Can it be taken?"

Speaking of this topic, Krum's attention was quickly diverted. He told Zooey that due to some requirements, he could not tell them here what the hints he interpreted were, but he was almost ready, and he Will not lose to anyone.

"I also really hope to see a wonderful game." Although Zooey always wanted to throw a rotten egg on the nose of the boy in front of her, she was not impatient.She took Hermione's hand and quickly ended the conversation with Krum.Hermione said goodbye to Krum, who kept watching the two girls leave.

*******

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Hermione didn't speak until they had reached the third floor.

"I wanted to wait for you. I know you have no class today, so you will definitely go to the library." Zoe said, "I wanted to surprise you when you came up, and then I was caught Krum got there first." She smacked her lips disapprovingly.

At that time, she was hiding at another corner, thinking that when Hermione walked this way, she could suddenly appear and scare Hermione.But the plan didn't change quickly, and before she even showed up, the Quidditch star suddenly appeared in the corridor. Hermione was thinking about something and didn't notice it, so she was accosted by Krum.

With her toes, she knew what Krum would do if she appeared at this time, and it was unlikely that Hermione would refuse the invitation, because she wouldn't think it was inappropriate for her to go out for a walk with her friends, let alone Will not think deeply.Even this "friend" is still showing signs of pursuing her.

"Nervous. What's so surprising about this? Can't you just explain it in the basement?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "If Harry and the others go with me, what will you do?" Zooey Naturally. "Then find another excuse. As long as it's related to homework, I don't think Potter and the others will come after him."

Hermione had to agree with the correctness of her statement, knowing that the two boys would rather waste a lot of time on having fun than spend a little more time studying. "What are you laughing at?" Hermione looked at Zoe in confusion. "Laughing at you." Zooey replied to her with an answer that made her even more confused.

"We obviously didn't make an appointment." Hermione choked when she heard this. "So I'm happy," Zoe said.

"...I can't let you have no steps to go down." Hermione sighed, "I'm even more surprised that you didn't even change your face when you lied." She glanced at Zoe. "I didn't. I was actually quite nervous. I was worried what would happen if you didn't cooperate with me to go for a walk with that guy." Zooey held Hermione's hand tightly.

"What if I really say yes?" Hermione asked deliberately.

"The guys from Durmstrang will have to fish their warrior out of the lake the next day," Zoe said. .Of course, I will give him enough oxygen to breathe, but he will definitely not be able to participate in the next Triwizard Tournament."

"Childish fellow," said Hermione.

"Well, you're right." Zooey replied.
