Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 213 Snape’s Punishment

As Nydia expected, Snape's punishment for her and Ron was to handle the potion materials, but what she didn't expect was that the materials Snape asked them to handle turned out to be rat heads.

"Did Snape do it on purpose? Did he know that my previous pet was a mouse?" Ron looked at the pile of mouse heads in front of him with disgust, "Am I supposed to imagine them as Pettigrew's heads?" Ron thought about it in his mind, and then his expression became more disgusted. He shook his head and tried to cut off his terrible imagination.

"Sorry! I caused you to be punished." Nidia said apologetically.

"What are you talking about? I can't blame you. It's Snape who wasn't impartial enough! Everyone knows that these are just excuses for him to deduct points from other colleges." Ron said as he forcefully pushed a rat head towards When the potion was pressed, an inadvertent rat head bounced out and fell to the ground, "Damn it."

Ron cursed and then bent down to pick up the fallen rat head from the ground. At the same time, a round metal object slipped out of his pocket.

"What is this?" Nydia picked it up curiously. After holding it in front of her to see clearly, her face became a little unhappy. It turned out to be the badge that mocked Harry. "Are you serious? You actually brought it with you?" With this?"

"That's..." Ron choked back his words mid-sentence, "It's none of your business."

Ron wanted to get the badge back from Nidia, but Nidia dodged it.

"Do you really like the feeling of being noticed that much? Okay! I can help you." After saying that, Nidia took out her wand and lightly tapped on the badge. Originally, 'Potter stinks' The words changed to 'Weasley Stinky Shit' and Nydia held it up to show Ron "How do you like it? Do you like it?"

"How did you..." Ron looked at the badge in Nitya's hand in surprise.

"What? Do you want to take it out or do you want me to help you take it out for everyone to see?" Nidia handed the badge to Ron and asked him to make a choice.

Ron reached out and took the badge. After looking at it for a few times, he put the badge back into his pocket. Then he continued to deal with the mouse head without saying anything more. Nidia saw him like this, although she was still a little angry that he was carrying that He humiliated Harry's badge, but didn't say anything else, thinking that he would be able to make peace with himself for getting him punished.

"How's it going?" As soon as Nydia and Ron had taken care of all the mouse heads, Snape opened the door and walked in.

"Take a look! Everything is ready!" Nidia gave up her position and let Snape come forward to check.

Snape came over, took a cursory look at their soaked rat heads, and then said, "Weasley, leave!"

"Nedia..." Ron wanted to ask, but was glared back by Snape.

"I still have a bunch of frog entrails that need to be processed over there. If you don't want to leave, you can stay and continue processing them." Snape said coldly.

Ron glanced at Nydia with some embarrassment, then quickly packed up his things and ran out of Snape's office.

Snape walked to his desk and sat down, "Do you know why I punish you?"

"Because I provoked my classmates and fought with them in private..." Isn't it because you want to deduct points from Gryffindor? Nitya muttered in her mind.

Snape looked at Nydia and snorted coldly, "Parkinson's ability is only average among students of the same class as Slytherin, but you are only on par with her."

What does this mean? Nydia looked up at Snape in surprise, was he blaming her for not winning? "Although the relationship between Pansy and I has never been very good, we are still classmates after all, so there is no need to be cruel!" Nidia said tentatively.

"There are many ways to make her unable to fight back without being cruel, but you didn't use any of them and let her attack you. If the spell hadn't gone off track, then you would be the one who was hit by the spell. Do you think you were in the middle of it? Can you still fight back well after being cursed?" Snape said in a long tone, "Don't cause trouble unless you are absolutely sure of winning."

Nydia lowered her head and said nothing. She was thinking about whether Snape meant that if he wanted to fight, he must win. So the reason why he was punished was because he failed to win?

"Go over there!" Snape pointed to a set of cauldrons placed on the side of his desk, "Brew a wolfsbane potion."

"Now?" Nidia walked to the crucible in disbelief. She found that the materials for brewing the wolfsbane potion had been prepared and put aside. "But Professor, it's a bit late now..."

"So you need to hurry up and finish it before lights out!" Snape said to Nydia unwillingly.

It seems that there is no need to discuss! Nydia said no more, picked up the materials and began to brew the wolfsbane potion. Snape kept a close eye on Nydia's operation and said a few words from time to time to correct Nydia's neglect during the brewing process. Small details, when it was close to the edge of lights-out time, the Wolfsbane potion was finally completed, and Nidia was also pleasantly surprised to find that the Wolfsbane potion brewed this time was better than any previous brewing, and was even very close to the previous one. The potion brewed by Napu.

Nidia looked at Snape happily. After looking at Nidia's finished product, he nodded with satisfaction, although the expression on his face was still cold.

"Actually, you are also worried about Lupine, right?" Nydia said to Snape.

"It's just because he can be of some help in the future!" Snape's expression looked very disdainful, "Hurry up and leave!"

After taking out the medicine bottle she carried with her and gradually putting the medicine in the crucible into the medicine bottle, Nidia turned around and was about to leave. After taking a few steps, she turned around again. She looked at Snape, and then towards him. He bent down and bowed, "I'm sorry, Professor, I attacked you at the Screaming Shack last year and said some outrageous words to you."

Nydia's unexpected behavior left Snape speechless for a moment. He regained his composure, and then said in his usual stern tone, "Are you waiting to be caught after lights-out time if you don't leave? I won't do that." I’m asking for your sympathy.”

Although Snape's tone was stern, Nydia could not feel the slightest hint of blame at this time. She raised her head and smiled at Snape before leaving quickly.

After running all the way, Nydia finally returned to the dormitory before lights out. Michelle and Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief when Nydia came back.

"Ron has been back for a long time! Why are you so late?" Michelle said with emotion.

Nitya gasped for air and smiled at Michelle, "I did some after-school tutoring!"

"After-school tutoring? Are you making potions again?" Michelle looked at Nitya in confusion, "But why do you look so happy? You usually complain."

Nitya shrugged and said with a smile, "I feel pretty good now."

Michelle was puzzled, but seeing that Nidia was in a good mood, she stopped worrying about this matter, "By the way, do you have time tomorrow? If you have time, come to Hagrid's cabin. ! There will be surprises!”

"Surprise?" Nidia thought for a moment, "The squid has grown up again?"

"They keep growing, but this is not a surprise." Michelle said, "You will find out when you come over tomorrow. You will definitely be happy."

"I also want to ask if you are free tomorrow!" Nitya asked Michelle.

"What to do?" Michelle asked doubtfully.

"If you are free tomorrow, do your homework! There will be surprises too!" Nidia said, imitating Michelle's appearance just now.

"What surprises can come from doing homework?" As soon as she heard about homework, Michelle's expression looked a little ugly.

"You will be surprised to find, wow! It turns out that you have so much homework that you have not done!" Nidia said, "Wait until Monday and see how you explain it to other professors."

"I...I will do it," Michelle said with some embarrassment, "I will come back to do my homework after I go to Hagrid's place tomorrow!"

"Michelle, if you keep doing this, it will be difficult for you to pass the O.W.L exam next year, which will directly lead to your failure to graduate smoothly." Nidia said worriedly.

"Hagrid didn't graduate either, but now he's a professor." Michelle thought for a while and then continued, "And the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! It's said that he also failed to graduate from school."

Nidia sighed, not knowing what to say to Michelle. She shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that it would be better if I talk to Hagrid tomorrow."

"So you will go to Hagrid's tomorrow!" Michelle suddenly became happy, "I guarantee this surprise will make you very happy, really."
