Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Early the next morning, as soon as Nidia woke up from her sleep, Hermione excitedly rushed to her and announced that all the hats she had hidden were gone. She thought they must have been taken away by the house elves. Nidia She was worried about this, and she didn't feel relieved until she saw that the breakfast in the restaurant was still as rich as ever.

Nydia guessed that Hermione might have misunderstood that those hats were not taken away by the house elves, but she did not say these words to Hermione because she did not want to spoil Hermione's good mood, and because she I am worried about another thing, that is, Snape did not show up at the teacher's desk at breakfast time. He left the school last night after being summoned by Voldemort and stayed away all night. He doesn't know what happened. .

However, the arduous courses soon left Nidia no longer able to take care of this worry. The repeated practice of summoning spells in the Charms class had made them tired enough, and the disappearing spell in the Transfiguration class was even more difficult for them to master for a long time. Essentially, until the end of the two classes, Hermione and Nydia were the only two people in the class who made the snails used in practice disappear.

Not to mention the homework assigned, there was no time to finish the homework the day before, and there were so many new homework today that they had to use their lunch break to complete their homework.

The Care of Magical Creatures course was originally the most relaxing course among all courses, because there is almost no homework in this course. You only need to learn about these magical creatures in class to be able to cope with the final exam. But this year What they have to face is the O.W.L exam, and the situation becomes different.

"...You observe and study them carefully. Each of you draws a sketch and marks each part of the Bowtruckle's body on the drawing." Professor Graplan said. She is a substitute teacher because Hagrid has never come back. However, many students actually think that Professor Graplan is a better teacher than Hagrid because the magical animals she introduces to everyone are more interesting every time.

While carefully observing the bowtruckle in front of her, Nidia tried her best to draw its appearance on her parchment. Although the bowtruckle was very cooperative and did not move, Nidia It was still difficult for Ya to draw it accurately, which reminded her of the last time Sirius laughed at her painting skills. It seemed that she really lacked talent in painting.

"Oh... How about I help you draw it! You are responsible for marking the names of the parts... Your drawing here makes it impossible to tell where is its torso and where are its limbs!" Nitya looked at her reaction After repeatedly revising the sketch, Michelle couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed the picture she drew into Nitya's hand, "Just use my drawing to mark it!"

Nidia compared her own drawings with Michelle's, and there was a world of difference. Michelle's painting skills were great, and the Bowtruckle she drew was so lifelike, and the one she drew, if she didn't say anything, Maybe others can't even think that this is a Bowtruckle!

"No! I have to finish it by myself." Nidia gave Michelle's painting back to her. "If I don't practice more now, if I encounter such a question during the exam, I won't be able to complete it."

"Okay, if you insist..." Michelle took back her drawing and began labeling the names of the Bowtruckle's body parts.

Nidia crumpled up the miserable painting and threw it aside. She knew that this painting was hopeless. She took out a new piece of parchment and prepared to start painting again, but she was at a loss as to how to start. She turned Looking over his shoulder at Draco on the other side of him, he had only finished half of the drawing, but the pen in his hand had stopped.

"What are you thinking about?" Nydia asked looking at Draco in a daze.

Draco came back to his senses, glanced in the direction of Harry and the three of them behind him, and whispered to Nydia, "I just heard Potter and the others talking about Hagrid."

"Hagrid hasn't come back. They've been worried about him." When the class started, Harry quietly ran to Professor Grubblyplan to ask about the situation, but Professor Grubblyplan only answered him coldly, "It's none of your business." '.

"Actually... I probably know what Hagrid is going to do!" Draco said hesitantly.

"You know?" Nydia looked at Draco in surprise.

"Yes, I heard my father mention it when I was at home during the summer vacation. He seemed to be looking for giants." Draco said softly.

"But why did your father know Hagrid's whereabouts!" Harry and the others heard that Hagrid should have gone to complete the task assigned by Dumbledore.

"Because the Dark Lord also sent people to find giants, and they seem to have encountered them!" Draco said.

"Meet us!" Nidia's heart tightened. Did something happen to Hagrid? "Did they attack Hagrid? Was he injured?"

"Shh!"

Nydia's voice became a little louder when she got emotional, and Draco quickly stopped her, "Don't get excited yet. Although I don't know what happened, but according to my father, Hagrid should be fine, because the Dark Lord is... I lost my temper!"

"This already happened during the summer vacation, but why hasn't he come back yet!" Nidia was worried. Could it be that something happened after that?

"I don't know about that. The Dark Lord is very defensive about people. Even my father doesn't know the specifics of this matter." Draco shook his head.

Nydia sighed, at least she knew what Hagrid had done. If Voldemort is really wary of people as Draco said, then is it really safe for Snape to be by his side?

Nydia's worry lasted until dinner time. When she saw that Snape had returned to school, she was finally relieved. Nydia then told the three Harrys about Hagrid because they had been worried about Hagrid.

"Did Malfoy tell you these things?"

Nitya didn't say where the information came from, but Harry quickly guessed it. "Malfoy should know that his father is a Death Eater! So what is his plan? Follow in his father's footsteps?"

Nidia was a little embarrassed. She couldn't tell Lucius's true intention because it would probably cause him unnecessary trouble. Compared with being misunderstood by everyone, safety was the most important thing.

"Everyone will have his own choice..."

"So their family has decided to help Voldemort do evil, right?" Harry said displeased.

"Harry, you have to know... to you, everything Voldemort has done is bad, but to some people, it is not that bad!" Nydia said cautiously.

"Who are you talking about? The Malfoy family! Are they looking forward to a dark wizard ruling everything?" Ron said unhappily.

"Voldemort has been continuing Slytherin's ideas and trying to eliminate all people with insufficiently pure blood from the wizarding world. His behavior is actually recognized by many pure-blood families. Even if they do not choose to follow Voldemort's footsteps, Voldemort All their actions will not have any impact on them, so..."

"So their choice is to remain neutral and not cause unnecessary trouble for themselves?" Hermione understood what Nitya meant. "No matter who wins this war, it will not have any impact on them."

"At least they think so..." In fact, this is not the case. Lucius once said that Voldemort is very cruel. If he really gains power, even pure-blood families may not necessarily have a stable life.

"If it doesn't involve them, then can they just watch Voldemort hurt others? Isn't Ron's family also a pure-blood family? But they still chose to fight Voldemort!" Harry said excitedly, Ron on the side suddenly turned red after hearing Harry's words.

"The Ron family's performance is indeed very brave, but... not everyone can make such a decision." Nydia sighed, and she truly admired the Weasley family's choice.

"So Malfoy doesn't dare to disobey his father, right? He will only remain neutral, right?" Harry's tone revealed disappointment, "I learned during the summer vacation that the Malfoy family is actually related to Sirius Yes, Sirius was born into a family with the same environment as him, but Sirius bravely made his own choice!"

Nydia was silent, she didn't know how to reply to Harry's words, there were many things she couldn't say, and compared to Sirius's courage, Nydia wanted Draco to be safe.

"I want to ask one more question." Harry looked at Nydia seriously, "Do you still have the same thoughts now as before? Or do you plan to remain neutral with Malfoy?"

Dumbledore asked himself to be an outsider, and that outsider should maintain a neutral attitude. Nydia nodded and simply replied, "Yes! Draco and I will remain neutral."

The expressions of the three Harrys were both surprised and disappointed. They all seemed to want to say something, but no one said it.
