Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Harry Potter, 14 years old, became the second warrior of Hogwarts for unknown reasons a month ago, successfully completed the first competition project two weeks ago, and got a good score, although accompanied by Injuries and innocent people, but considering the difficulty bonus of the Hungarian Horntail he faced and the highlight of riding a broom afterwards (these are extrapolated by him and Ron after the fact), his performance and score are still very good.

Harry had thought that the Hungarian Horntail was probably the greatest difficulty he would ever face in his life.However, Professor McGonagall's one-on-one conversation after a certain class made him not want to do the next thing even if he faced the Hungarian Horntail again.

"Potter, you have to find a dance partner." When Professor McGonagall looked very inconceivable when she heard Harry's refusal, her eyes under the lens narrowed carefully, "You don't have to if you don't want to. This is also the top three One of the traditions of the Tournament, the warriors will lead the dance at the ball, so you must have a dance partner, as one of the Hogwarts warriors, you cannot be willful."

The emotion that had been excited in Harry's heart since breaking through the difficulty seemed to have been poked a hole, and suddenly leaked.But then the situation was not as bad as he thought. Harry thought that it was impossible for someone like him to find a dance partner (after all, apart from his unusual reputation, he had no relationship with the opposite sex), but when his companions told He had the huge advantage of being a warrior, and he had experienced it firsthand—a girl he hadn't even met and spoken to had asked to be his dance partner, and Harry had turned her down.

"It's not surprising, Harry." When Fred made many strange faces to laugh at the girl after she was rejected, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are a rare commodity in the eyes of girls now, and there are only four warriors. One person, and one of them is a girl, three people are not enough for the whole school, who would refuse to walk beside the warrior and shine with him?"

"Don't you have a choice?" George's question made Harry a little embarrassed, because he had secretly gone to Qiu Zhang before. I want to look in the direction where Qiu will appear, and my desire to talk to her and establish a good relationship is undiminished.

But Cho turned him down because she was already engaged.Harry was devastated, but he didn't want to tell anyone, especially George and Fred.Even Ron or Hermione, he didn't want them to know about it, determined to bury it in the deepest part of his heart.

"Don't worry, buddy. You've got no shortage of admirers." Fred patted him on the arm. "At least the 'Warriors' won't be short of them." George blinked. They didn't stay here long because they still had things to do.

"Harry, you really need to hurry," said Ron, looking excited.They had agreed to each find a partner, as the ball drew nearer.Ron, at least in the end, had come to an agreement with Lavender, while Cho had rejected Harry. "But don't worry, I think George and the others are right, maybe a beautiful girl will appear in front of you in a second, and then stand in front of you and tell you that she wants to dance with you." Ron Although the inside and outside words were a bit bitter, they were still trying their best to comfort Harry.

"Harry, someone is looking for you outside the lounge!" At this moment, Dean came from the direction of the door opening and looked at Harry strangely, as if he had turned into a wreck the size of a person in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Harry was confused, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Harry, I have to say that you are really good." Seamus, who has always had a good relationship with Dean, also looked mysterious, and poked Harry's arm with his elbow, "When did you talk to Seager?" Do you have a good relationship with me? She actually made people come over eagerly, no matter who she is, she is really a beautiful girl." Harry was even more stunned after hearing his teasing, Ron opened his mouth and looked at him strangely .

Harry felt as if his consciousness was out of touch with his body, and when he realized that he had walked out of the lounge at some point, he was already face to face with the indifferent blonde girl.Although the fat lady seemed to be talking to the portrait next to her, she was also secretly peeping here.

"Hi, hi, Siegel." Harry was always a little nervous when facing Zoe, and if it was a deliberate provocation like Malfoy's, Harry could still fight back head-on.Although Zooey always showed disgust towards him, it was a kind of disgust as if she saw something dirty in the way, and she never confronted him head-on.In the past two years, her attitude had become a little milder, but mostly she ignored it. Even if she showed a rare kindness this year, Harry didn't know how to face her.

He has known their attitude towards Zoe from the attitudes and words of the people around him since the first grade. He can't help but feel sympathy for Zoe. Maybe she doesn't need Harry's mood, but Harry can't help it. Empathize.Probably for this reason, he couldn't really feel disgusted by Zoe's hostility.

"Good morning, Potter." Zooey greeted him simply.

"Who are you looking for in the Gryffindor lounge?" Harry had an idea, "I'll call Hermione for you..."

"Wait." Zoe held him back, and her tone became urgent, "Don't go there. I'm not here today to find Hermione."

In fact, Hermione had left the lounge early in the morning, and Harry just wanted to find an excuse to leave for a while, and then collect his thoughts, because he didn't think Zoe came to him just to chat.But since he was held by Zoe, he couldn't slip away.

"I'm here to see you today, Potter." Zooey looked at Harry. "Listen, I have something to ask you."

"Have you found a dance partner?" Harry was still worried about what question she wanted to ask, but he didn't expect her to ask this, and a sense of unreality suddenly enveloped him.Could it be... impossible, that was Zoe Siegel, not some ordinary little girl whose eyes were blinded by his false reputation.

"No, no..." Harry stammered, "I was going to look for it, it's true. But I don't have any good candidates in mind, and I should end up looking for acquaintances to make up the number, after all, Professor McGonagall ...that a warrior must have a dance partner." He showed an embarrassed expression, not to mention that the girl he really wanted to invite had already had an appointment.

"Are you an idiot?" Zooey said mercilessly, "Is that why you are picky? Do you have to scurry around like a headless fly now? And keep hitting the glass."

"It can't be my fault!" Harry was also a little annoyed, he didn't want to be teased by a girl of the same age who didn't have a good relationship with his difficulties, "I don't know how to deal with this situation at all, girls are worse than fire dragons." It should be scary and difficult to understand. There are girls who come to me, but I don't know them! How can I let them be my dance partner?"

"No, no. I'm sorry, what I just said was too much, I'm just a little anxious... Actually, it's best for me that you don't have a partner." Zooey didn't choose to argue with him, but directly apologized , her face was cloudy and uncertain, and she seemed to be hesitating about what she was about to say.

"What? What do you mean?" Harry's ominous premonition took another step forward. Could it be that...

"I'll be your dance partner, Potter." Zooey pointed to herself, "If you refuse, tell me why."

"What!" Harry jumped up from the spot, he even heard the portraits behind him start whispering excitedly, and Zoe heard it too, she frowned in discomfort.

"Impossible!" Harry would rather see that this was another vicious prank by George and the others, and he was unwilling to think deeply about the truth of it, because it was too unbelievable, "Don't try to tease me, George... ..."

"I don't know who you're talking about, Potter." Zoe said impatiently, "Just tell me whether you accept or agree."

"Don't those two words mean the same thing!" Harry shouted. "Why don't you go dance with Malfoy? Of course I don't!"

"Because you are a warrior, Potter." Zooey said without hesitation, "I am indeed not interested in you at all, but you are a warrior, and you will be in charge of dancing with several other warriors. What I want is this thing .”

"What does that mean to you?" Harry couldn't understand what she was trying to convey. "So what about the first dance? If you want to show off..." Zoe interrupted him. "Do you know who Hermione's partner is?" Harry froze.

"Hermione found a date?!" Harry said in surprise, but when he saw Zoe's stern look that seemed to chop him up, he immediately changed his words, "She didn't, she didn't tell us. "

"Krum." Zoe said, "She is the partner of that idiot nose man. If I want to stop it from the beginning, I have to find another warrior to be his partner. As far as I know now, You are the last choice."

"But why do you... Hermione has found happiness... You can choose to bless her?" Harry was a little confused, he felt that an answer was about to come out, but he felt that this was too weird.

"Blessing? Even if she tells me that I'm going to get married tomorrow, I'm going to blow up the person who took her away. I won't let her escape..." Zooey clenched her fists and stopped her slight trembling, "I won't allow it Someone other than me will give her happiness."
