Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 373: Troubles after the article was published

After the article about Harry's interview was published in "The Quibbler", it immediately attracted a lot of views. Readers continued to send letters to Harry to express their opinions. Although many people still firmly believed that Harry was a madman, Indeed, many people believed Harry's words, at least at Hogwarts. This article became a topic of private discussion among students and even teachers.

In order to prevent students from reading, Umbridge issued the 27th Education Order. However, this situation was something Hermione had long expected. It could even be said that Hermione had been looking forward to it, because of the purpose of this education order. The announcement aroused everyone's curiosity and greatly increased the popularity of "The Quibbler" among students.

Over the past few days, students kept secretly coming over to tell Harry that they believed what he said, and many teachers used some inexplicable reasons to give Gryffindor points. They used this to tell Harry that they supported him. Even Qiu Zhang, who hadn't spoken to him for a long time because of the bad date on Valentine's Day, took the initiative to talk to him. Logically speaking, Harry should be very happy now, but in fact he was not.

First of all, he saw the image of Voldemort in his sleep again. Secondly, this situation also showed that the Occlumency he had been learning from Snape had not made any progress. Most importantly, Nydia was angry with him. , he tried to say a few words to Nidia for several days, but Nidia avoided him. Even if they met head-on, Nidia refused to talk to him.

"Can we talk?" Harry stopped Nydia again after a History of Magic lesson.

Nidia originally wanted to leave directly past Harry, but this time he seemed determined to stop her. After several failed attempts, Nidia gave up.

"What do you want to talk about? The amazing Harry Potter!" Nydia said sarcastically.

"Does it have to be like this?" Harry frowned, "What I said is nothing but the truth. You and Hermione asked me to tell everyone the truth."

"Yes, I supported what you did, but I thought you would know what to say and what not to say." Nitya said angrily.

"I think it is necessary for everyone to know that Malfoy's father is a Death Eater. He is working for Voldemort, but he often visits the Ministry of Magic. If he does not tell everyone this fact, how many secrets of the Ministry of Magic will he tell Voldemort!" Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Nydia was so angry, but she couldn't tell Harry directly that Lucius was not working for Voldemort. "If you think this fact should be told to everyone, then have you missed another thing and reminded everyone of what As a Death Eater, shouldn't we tell everyone that Voldemort actually has a daughter? "

"This...how could I tell such a thing! This is completely different. You don't want to be like Voldemort, so you shouldn't be looked at in a strange way by everyone!" Harry looked around worriedly. After looking around and making sure that no one could hear what they just said, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"But Draco doesn't want to become a Death Eater! Why do you want him to bear the strange eyes of others?" Nydia was very happy when the article was originally published, but after reading the entire content, she felt unhappy It was completely different. She never expected that Harry would publish the list of Death Eaters he saw in the cemetery. In the past few days, not only had Draco been pointed out behind his back, but someone even came to her to question her. Why would you want a Death Eater's son as your boyfriend?

"...I'm really sorry for not taking him into consideration, but if I had to choose again, I would still make the same decision. I still think everyone should know who they should be wary of," Harry said very firmly. .

"Then I'm also sorry. I don't want to talk to you anymore." The position is different, and there will be no results if you continue to talk.

Time returned to an earlier time, in front of Umbridge's office, Draco took a deep breath and knocked hard on the wooden door with his hand. Soon, Umbridge's suffocated voice came from the office. A voice that says 'come in'.

"Oh! Little Mr. Malfoy!" Umbridge looked at Draco with a smile, "Actually, I was planning to find you, but you came here on your own."

"There is something that really bothers me, so I have to ask for your help. I think you are the only one in school who can help me." Draco looked very helpless. look.

"You don't need to hide anything from me. I came to Hogwarts just to help you." Umbridge put on a smile that she thought was charitable.

"It's about the article in The Quibbler. I know you don't allow us to read it, but it's really because I heard it said something about my father," Draco said awkwardly, "I really I didn’t expect that Potter would slander my father like this. It doesn’t matter if others think of me this way, but my father is such a charitable person and he shouldn’t be slandered like this.”

"Don't worry. I believe that your father's contribution to the Ministry of Magic is obvious to all. Minister Fudge often praises him. Such a nonsense article will not make any waves. Soon everyone will Knowing that all this is just a lie concocted by a liar boy and a crazy old man."

Umbridge walked down from her seat. She came to Draco's side and reached out to touch his head, trying to appease his emotions. Draco gritted his teeth and tried not to avoid her in disgust. hand.

"I know that the Ministry of Magic has always been the most impartial and will definitely not have any misunderstandings about my father. However, I cannot let the people who falsely accuse my father act recklessly. I know that you have always hoped to put Hogwarts in order. This is not good. I have the same idea as you, so let me help you do something!" Draco looked at Umbridge with an extremely sincere expression.

"The Malfoy children did not disappoint me. In fact, when I said I wanted to find you, that was exactly what I wanted to say." Umbridge looked at Draco in surprise, "I was planning to submit a report to the ministry. Apply, I will set up an investigation action team among the students, their power will be above that of the prefects, and I hope to join.”

"Is this true?" Draco's face was full of excitement. "Please let me join. I can't wait to contribute to the school's better atmosphere."

Umbridge nodded with satisfaction and said with a proud expression, "I believe that the ministry will approve my application soon, because Minister Fudge really attaches great importance to Hogwarts. He always Prioritize all applications submitted by me.”

After coming out of Umbridge's office, Draco finally breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to show a false smile to the old woman, which made him feel relaxed. Now he couldn't wait to find Nydia and bring her to the house. Her plan told her that Draco remembered that her class was History of Magic. Calculating the time, it was almost time to finish class, so Draco headed towards the History of Magic classroom.

Arriving in the corridor outside the History of Magic classroom, Draco saw Nydia and Potter talking from a distance. He couldn't hear the content clearly, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to be having an unpleasant conversation.

"Hey! Nydia, I have something to tell you." Draco happily walked up to Nydia.

"Then let's go!" Nydia took Draco's arm, "It just so happens that I have finished talking to the honest Mr. Potter."

Draco raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand what made Nydia so angry. Originally, he wanted to say a few words to Potter, but Nydia no longer wanted to stay any longer and pulled him away. When he was about to leave, he had no choice but to turn around and say to Potter, "Well done!"

But this sentence sounded full of sarcasm to Harry.
