Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 152 The troublesome secret

It was difficult for Nydia to confirm whether the perfume Astoria sprayed on herself actually contained saffron extract, because she lacked a proper reason to get the bottle of perfume again, and she still had no idea in her heart. Really hope this possibility is confirmed. More importantly, she was now more eager to resolve the problem between herself and Draco than this matter.

After Draco finally came back to take the ancient runes class, Nydia finally found the right opportunity. She quickly caught up with Draco who was about to leave after the class.

"Can we talk?" Nydia blocked Draco's path.

Draco glanced at Nydia and said nothing. He tried to pass Nydia, but was stopped by Nydia again.

"Does this have to be the case? Can't you just listen to what I have to say?" Draco's attitude made Nydia feel very uncomfortable.

"What do you want to talk about?" Draco finally stopped.

Nidia was about to speak when Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared. As soon as she saw Nidia, she walked forward happily.

"I went to see Potter just now. I have returned the Firebolt to him. He is very happy." Professor McGonagall smiled meaningfully at Nydia, "They should be celebrating right now. You should hurry up." Go ahead." After saying that, Professor McGonagall left quickly.

"Firebolt Potter got a Firebolt" Draco was surprised after hearing this news.

"Ah, yes, he received a Firebolt for Christmas." Nidia felt guilty for a while.

Draco looked at Nydia in confusion, "But why did Professor McGonagall return the Firebolt to Potter and tell you? What does this have to do with you? Could it be that you gave the Firebolt to Potter?"

Draco was just joking casually at first, but after seeing Nydia's surprised expression, his heart sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a big gift from you, Miss Field."

"No, it doesn't count as a gift from me. I just gave it to a friend." Nitya explained eagerly.

"Is it for someone else? Which of your friends is so generous as to give such an expensive gift?" Draco asked aggressively.

"I can't say, I can't tell you who will cause trouble for him," Nitya said awkwardly.

After hearing Nydia's words, Draco sneered, "Haha, it's another thing that can't be said, isn't it? I want to ask if there is anything else we need to continue talking about. Go ahead and let me know how much more there is. You can't tell me this thing, right? Miss Field, no, I shouldn't call you Field. It's so ridiculous. It turns out I don't even know your name." Draco crossed Nydia angrily and prepared to leave.

"Riddle" Nydia said as Draco walked past.

"What?" Draco turned back to look at Nydia in surprise.

Nydia turned to look at Draco and said calmly, "Riddle, Nydia Riddle, this is the name I should be called."

"But what kind of name is this? It's just one of the things you can't tell me." After saying that, Draco still looked unhappy and left.

Nydia stood there helplessly. She no longer had the courage to catch up. Draco was right. There were some things that he couldn't tell him. At least he couldn't tell him about Sirius. Before clearing his name, he couldn't tell anyone about this matter.

Nydia hesitated for a while on the way back to the common room, and finally she decided to tell Sirius the news that the Starfire Bolt had been retrieved.

"Professor McGonagall is not a meddlesome person, and she probably won't tell you about her misunderstanding." Sirius said after listening to Nydia's story, "You don't have to worry about this matter getting deeper. The conflict between you and Draco."

"But wait, how did you know that I had a conflict with Draco?" Nydia did not remember that she had ever mentioned the matter between herself and Draco to Sirius.

"I saw what happened after the Quidditch match that day. He seemed to be angry with you. Why?"

"You ran out to watch the Quidditch match again," Nydia said with a headache.

"I can't just stay here all the time. Who can refuse a Quidditch match?" Sirius said matter-of-factly.

"I asked you to focus more on how to capture Pettigrew." Nydia said somewhat unhappily.

"I was looking for an opportunity, but that kid took it too seriously, and Crookshanks couldn't succeed at all." Sirius was also very troubled when talking about this matter.

Nidia thought about it for a moment. During this period, Ron had indeed protected Banban very well. He basically kept it in his pocket all the time. Even if Nidia occasionally looked at Banban a few times, he would become confused. He was unhappy and said that doing so would make Banban feel nervous.

"Or just ask me to transform him back into a human form in front of everyone so that everyone knows that his death is just a lie." Nidia suggested.

"No, you can't do this, Nydia, it's too dangerous. You must never underestimate the madness of a person when he is forced into a desperate situation." Sirius stopped him sternly, "Don't forget that he is You've killed so many innocent Muggles by running away and blaming me. If you let him change back to his human form in public, I'm afraid he will do something drastic in his desperation."

"Okay" Nitya said a little disappointed. She had never hoped that Sirius could catch Pettigrew quickly. She didn't even tell Michelle about this. Hiding a secret is like holding a time bomb. You don't know which day it will suddenly explode. , and you will be reduced to pieces.

"As long as we keep an eye on it, we can always find the right opportunity." Sirius said to himself. He didn't know whether he was comforting Nydia or himself. Although he is no longer as eager as he was at the beginning, his desire to make the traitor pay the price has never disappeared one day.

"If I go back first, I'll arouse suspicion if I stay out for too long." Nidia stood up and patted the dust on her robe to leave. Then she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, that little wooden sculpture turned out to be someone else who received that wooden sculpture." You are my mother, right?”

"How do you know?" Sirius said with some surprise.

"Lupine told me. He saw my wood carving and mistakenly thought it was my mother's." Nydia hesitated for a while and asked, "So you have dated before."

"No, it's not what you think. We don't have this kind of relationship. Ahem, it's just a gift."

Nidia looked at Sirius suspiciously. If it was just a gift, why should he be so flustered? But Nidia didn't want to expose it, "Well, I'm just curious, because I know my mother very well. few."

"She is a very nice girl"

"Oh, really?" Nydia looked at Sirius meaningfully.

"Don't look at me like that. It's really not the kind of relationship you think. I can guarantee it," Sirius emphasized again.

Nidia said nothing, shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't care, and then turned and left.

Slipping back to the castle from the Shrieking Shack, Nydia was not in a hurry to return to the common room. She guessed that Harry and others were cheering for the return of the Firebolt in the common room, but her heart was heavy now. He really didn't want to pretend to be happy, so he wandered around the castle alone.

When passing the Muggle Studies classroom on the second floor, Nydia saw Hermione running out in a hurry. She has been like this recently. When you see her during the day, she always seems to be rushing to something. The look of the place, and she always had a pile of endless homework for various subjects in the common room at night. Ron had been surprised more than once how she managed to attend all the classes. Nydia was actually a little curious. , but Nydia didn’t really want to talk to anyone at this time, so she turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Hermione.

After walking a certain distance, Nidia was shocked by the scene in front of her. She clearly remembered that she was walking in the opposite direction of Hermione, but at this time, Hermione magically appeared in front of her. ahead. Nitya couldn't suppress her curiosity now.

"How did you do that? I saw you in the Muggle Studies classroom just now." Nydia looked at Hermione in surprise. Her face looked ugly and she looked very tired. If it wasn't for Being in the same dormitory with her, Nidia would think that she must have just been seriously ill.

"You must have seen it wrong, I have been here all the time." Hermione's eyes were a little wandering and she did not dare to look directly into Nitya's eyes. "How can I appear in two places at the same time? This is impossible. Isn’t that what happened?”

"I am very sure that the person I saw just now is you." They have lived in the same dormitory for more than two years, and it is impossible for Nidia to admit her mistake.

"I said, this is impossible. It's impossible for a person to be in two places at the same time." Hermione said impatiently.

"That's why I want to ask you how you did it. Don't try to fool me by saying you saw the wrong person. I'm not as easy to dismiss as Ron." Nydia felt that Hermione was hiding something. Because she is very familiar with her current appearance. It is the way she usually avoids and hides various problems.

"Then let me ask you, where have you been when you disappear suddenly recently? What are you doing when you sneak out in the early morning?" Hermione did not answer Nydia's question, but asked her a question.

Nydia was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Hermione to find out about her whereabouts. She always thought that she had been very careful.

"You can't tell, right?" Hermione seemed to expect Nydia to be like this, "Everyone has their own secrets, Nydia." After saying that, Hermione passed Nydia and left in a hurry.

Nitya stood there depressed. She found that she had been left speechless by two people all morning because of secret questions. When would she be able to live a life without such secrets?
