Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 258: Keep this secret

"What can't you accept?" Harry looked at Hermione with a guilty conscience.

Hermione said nothing and looked at Harry with half-squinted eyes, "You are hiding something, I can tell. You know that the report is not just nonsense, otherwise Malfoy would not be so nervous."

"He just doesn't care what Rita Skeeter writes about me!" Harry said.

"But he will care about what Nydia will think of him after he does this!" Hermione said, "Harry, think about it seriously! Maybe Malfoy has behaved very badly before, but he and Nydia are together After that, I have calmed down a lot.”

Harry recalled the scene when Malfoy helped him practice the summoning spell, and he sighed, "Okay! What exactly do you want to say?"

"Then what do you know?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Hey! Hermione!" Harry said impatiently.

"Okay!" Hermione took a deep breath, "Let's not test each other anymore. I'll be honest. I think the content of that report may be true."

Hermione's words exploded in Harry's heart like a bomb. He also took a few deep breaths, then gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "Why do you think so?"

"At first I just noticed a few things that were wrong, but if that report is true, then everything that's wrong makes sense!" Hermione said.

"Tell me what you found." Harry motioned for Hermione to continue.

"Do you remember the Chamber of Secrets? You have been in it, so you should know that whether it is the entrance to the bathroom or the stone door inside, you need to use snake language to open it. Ginny has told me that Ginny was raped by a mysterious person. Bring them in, and you are a Parselmouth, and you can open them, but how did she get in?" Hermione continued, "And the Basilisk was trapped alone in the secret room? It was strange that she was not attacked by the basilisk. How did she avoid it? Or was it that the basilisk never attacked her at all? But the only person who will not be attacked by the basilisk is the heir of Slytherin, and we know that. The mysterious person is the heir of Slytherin... If the reports over there are true, this would make sense. Nydia is also the heir and a parselmouth, so she was the one who only suspected Malfoy when we all suspected it. She's pretty sure Malfoy isn't, because she knows she is."

Hermione's words made Harry's heart sink. He had never paid attention to these details, but when Hermione mentioned them, they were all issues worth pondering.

"Now tell me what you know! I believe there must be something I don't know!" Hermione said with certainty. "Say it!"

"There is one thing I have never mentioned to anyone, not even Nydia. It was when I was in the Chamber of Secrets." Recalling the scene at that time, Harry took a deep breath, "When I walked in When we were in the Chamber of Secrets, I saw...I saw Voldemort holding the fainted Nydia in his arms, and he called Nydia his masterpiece..."

"So you knew Nydia's identity from that time on?" Hermione said in surprise.

"No! I didn't think that at the time." Harry denied. "At that time Nydia fainted, her face was pale, and she looked very weak. I thought Voldemort was just showing off to me his bad taste in torturing people. … What really made me start to doubt Nydia’s identity was the Marauder’s Map. Nydia’s name never showed the surname Field on it. At first, I thought it was because the map displayed it wrong, until some time ago Nydia Knowing that the map had been taken away by Professor Moody, she acted very panicked. I then guessed that maybe it was not an error in the map display, but that the real name Field was not her real last name... As you said, if that report is true Yes, it all makes sense.”

After Harry finished speaking, the two fell into silence.

"What should we do?" Hermione looked a little overwhelmed after everything was confirmed.

"What should we do?" Harry looked at Hermione in surprise, "That's Nydia! Hermione! Do you think she will become someone like Voldemort?"

"Of course I don't think so, it's just..." Hermione panicked, "Do you think Dumbledore knows about this? If he knows...if others know..."

"So we can't let others know that if you avoid Ron, don't you think he won't be able to accept it?" Harry grabbed Hermione's shoulders with some excitement.

"Yes! Yes...I'm sorry..." Hermione took a few deep breaths to calm herself down as much as possible, "Actually, I was still hoping that I had made a mistake."

"I expected so too..." Harry sighed and slowly released his hands on Hermione's shoulders.

"Padfoot said that the mysterious man is getting stronger. If he is really strong again, you said Nydia..."

"Nydia hates Voldemort! Her mother was killed by Voldemort. She told me." Harry said firmly, "Nydia is Nydia! I believe what I saw and knew. people."

"Harry, I'm not doubting Nydia, I mean, we can help Nydia keep this secret now, but if the mysterious man really comes back, can this secret be kept?" Hermione was worried. said.

Harry shook his head, "I don't know...but as long as that day comes, I am willing to keep this secret for her."

"I really hope this day never comes..."

Michelle followed Nidia all the way back to the dormitory. Looking at Nidia who looked lonely, she wished she could say something comforting, but felt that any words that came to her mind were pale and powerless. She looked at the report that she held tightly in her hand and felt angry.

"It's better to destroy this damn thing!" Michelle wanted to tear up the report to prevent others from seeing it again.

"Wait a minute, Michelle!" Nidia took the report from Michelle's hand, "This may have other uses."

"Other uses?" Michelle was a little confused, but since Nitya herself chose to stay, then let's stay! "How do you think Rita Skeeter found out? Who could that unnamed person be?"

"She just made it up!" Nidia put the report into the depths of her closet. "If she really had such evidence to question my identity, how could she easily agree to make a deal with Draco? Woolen cloth?"

"So Draco was deceived by her? This cunning woman!" Michelle felt even more angry.

"Draco is just unwilling to take this risk..." Thinking of this, Nydia felt mixed emotions in her heart.

"Rita Skeeter is such a hateful woman. Look at the things she has done! I really hope I can catch her and give her a lesson." Michelle said angrily.

"Just a lesson!" Nitya's tone suddenly became cold.

"Nitya..." Michelle looked at Nitya with some confusion. Her cold tone made Michelle feel a little strange.

"If she just published this report, maybe I would just teach her a lesson like you said. Anyway, Voldemort is getting stronger day by day, and it will be a matter of time before these things are made public. "Nitya walked to the window and looked into the distance, "But she shouldn't have used this report to threaten Draco..."

"What are you going to do?" Michelle asked.

"Hermione has always been confused about how Rita Skeeter knew about her conversation with Krum. I think Rita Skeeter must have hidden some unknown skills..." Nydia thought After a moment, "Be able to hear distant sounds clearly, or some way to hide yourself."

"The invisibility cloak can be ruled out, because Hermione has already asked Professor Moody, and he said that Rita Skeeter was not seen on the day of the second competition." Michelle pointed to her eyes, "You know, his magic eye can see through the invisibility cloak."

Nitya nodded, "As long as she is still trying her best to dig up news around the school, she will definitely expose some flaws."
