Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

I don’t know whether it was two days or three days. Nidia was in a comatose state most of the time. She locked herself in the room and refused all the food sent by Kira and Maggie. She blocked Angrily, she went on a hunger strike to resist Mr. Field's decision. After two years of campus life, she could no longer endure the deserted life of Field Manor.

The door to the room was gently opened, and Nidia thought it was Kira or Maggie coming over again to persuade her to eat something. She turned her head to the other side, not looking in the direction of the door.

"Nitya, are you awake?" a soft female voice said.

Nidia turned around in surprise and found that the person standing next to her bed was actually Mrs. Zabini. She was holding a tray with food in her hand.

"Sorry, madam, I didn't know it was you." Nidia wanted to sit up, but she didn't have enough strength in her body to support herself to complete this action.

"Lie down well, child." Mrs. Zabini pressed her hand on Nitya's shoulder, indicating that she did not need to get up.

"Did father ask you to persuade me to eat?" Nidia asked a little embarrassedly. Mrs. Zabini's arrival was completely unexpected.

"No, it's not." Mrs. Zabini sighed and said, "In fact, I came here to ask you to help me persuade Ward to eat something."

"Father didn't eat either?" Nitya said in surprise.

"Yes, he hasn't eaten since you said those cruel words to him that day." Mrs. Zabini put the tray with food on the bedside table and sat on Nidia's bed. beside.

"Heartless words." Nidia couldn't remember what she said that day. The only thing that was remembered in her mind during this period was that she could not go back to Hogwarts.

"You told him that you hated him, which broke his heart." Mrs. Zabini said with a depressed expression. "You don't know how worried he was about me when he found out that you were taken into the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets." I have never seen him so angry. Fortunately, Harry Potter had already rescued you when he arrived at the school, otherwise I think he might have attacked Dumbledore."

"What, I must have lost my mind that day because I said such bastard words." Nidia was extremely upset. She actually said such hurtful words to her father.

"Although his insistence on letting you drop out of Hogwarts this time is a bit extreme. But it is entirely because he is too worried about you. It is indeed very brave for you to face danger alone to save your friends, but you also have to Think about your father, how can that parent keep calm after knowing that their child actually faced the mysterious person alone?" Mrs. Zabini looked at Nitya deeply, "When talking to him on weekdays, he said You are the one who gets it the most. Nidia was very afraid of pigs when she was a child. She would cry non-stop every time she saw pigs because she thought pigs looked too ugly. She didn’t like to eat coriander as long as there was a little bit in the food. She will vomit at the smell of coriander, and she thinks coriander is the food of the devil. Merlin has never seen a man talk about his daughter so much, I almost feel jealous."

Nidia felt moved but also a little embarrassed. She did not expect that her father would actually tell Mrs. Zabini so much about herself.

"I know you must have felt very lonely at Field Manor these years, but your father feels the same way as you. He also cut off all contact with friends, just so that you would not be harmed." Mrs. Zabini said softly. Caressing Nitya's head, the tenderness revealed in her eyes made her whole body look softer, completely different from her usual glamorous feeling.

Nidia had never thought about it this way. She had always only seen herself isolated in Field Manor. She never realized that her father was also isolated in this manor like herself, and that her father was originally completely There is no need to live such a life. The reason why he did this was entirely because he wanted to protect himself. He was so selfish and took his father's dedication to him for granted.

"But madam, I really don't want to leave school." Nidia felt very embarrassed. On the one hand, she didn't want to continue to hurt her father's heart, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to leave school and her friends.

"We can think of a better solution to this matter. The year-end exams at Hogwarts this year have been cancelled, and there are only a few days left before the summer vacation. You don't have to worry about what you missed at all, just think of it as starting the summer vacation early. , there are still two months until the start of school, we can think of a solution together." Mrs. Zabini smiled gently at Nitya, "The most urgent thing now is that neither of you, father and daughter, can continue to hurt yourself like this. body."

Nidia nodded, Mrs. Zabini helped her sit up, and then handed a bowl of porridge in front of her.

"Thank you, madam," Nidia said to Mrs. Zabini while sipping her porridge.

"If you want, you can just call me Olivia from now on."

Nidia carried the food and walked into Mr. Field's study softly. She was a little hesitant, not knowing how to go up and talk to her father. She looked back at Olivia behind her, and she gave herself With an encouraging look, he gently closed the door from the outside, leaving the space completely to the father and daughter.

"Olivia, take the food away. I don't want to eat it." Mr. Field didn't look back. He thought the person coming was Olivia.

Nidia bit her lip and whispered, "Father"

Mr. Field turned back in surprise, "Nitya"

Nitya stepped forward and placed the food one by one in front of her father. "I have already eaten. Father, please eat some too."

"You" Nidia's sudden change made Mr. Field confused about her thoughts for a moment.

"I'm sorry, father, for saying such harsh words to you." Nidia said guiltily.

"I'm sorry too, Nitya, I failed to consider your feelings well." Mr. Field replied weakly.

"You should eat something first. We can talk about the rest later." However, within a few days, Nidia could clearly feel that Mr. Field was much more haggard, and she felt even more guilty.

Mr. Field nodded, picked up the food and started eating. Nidia sat quietly aside, handing him a spoon or napkin from time to time.

"What made you suddenly decide to eat?" Mr. Field asked. Nidia was able to take the initiative to come to him, which made most of his originally depressed emotions disappear.

"Because of Olivia" Nydia paid careful attention to her father's reaction when he heard Olivia's name.

"Oh, really?" Although the tone was calm, Mr. Field might not have noticed it himself, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile.

"Father, I remember that you seemed to have hidden Field Manor again, but Olivia came in." Nydia looked at her father with a slight smile, "I think she is pretty good."

"Yeah." Mr. Field simply said yes. How could he not know what Nitya wanted to express.

"I really think she's a good father, doesn't he feel a little fond of her?" Nidia now really feels that Field Manor is too deserted. Even if her father finally decides to close the manor, she still doesn't like her. I hope that my father will no longer be alone. He should stop focusing on himself all the time and think more about himself.

"What about you, how do you feel about that Malfoy boy?" Mr. Field asked suddenly.

"Why did you mention Draco suddenly?" Mr. Field suddenly mentioned Draco, making Nydia feel like her little secret was suddenly discovered.

"The day I went to Hogwarts to pick you up, that boy was chasing after the carriage for a long time." Mr. Field said with a headache. "I originally thought that the Golden Snitch you wanted to go to me for Christmas was You were going to give it to Harry Potter, but I later learned that Draco is also a Seeker."

How is Draco Chasing the Carriage and Michelle herself suddenly leaving school like this? Are they worried about their own situation?

"Father," Nydia thought about how to tell her father about her relationship with Draco.

"Do you really want to go back to Hogwarts even if you know the dangers you are likely to face when you go back?" Mr. Field asked suddenly.

Nitya nodded firmly, "I want to go back. I don't want to avoid it for the rest of my life because I'm afraid of something that I don't know when it will happen. I don't want to regret that I never tried hard to face it all in the future."

Mr. Field sighed, as if he had expected that Nidia would say this, "If you decide to go back, then I think it's time to let you know some things."

"What's the matter?" Nitya asked curiously. Is there anything else that her father hasn't told her?

Mr. Field walked to the bookshelf behind his desk. He opened a secret compartment. Nidia knew this secret compartment. Mr. Field placed some of his mother's relics inside, including the wand he used before. He took out a box from the secret compartment, wiped the invisible dust on it with his hand, stared at the box for a moment, then closed the secret compartment as if he had made up his mind, and walked to Nettie with the box. In front of Asia.

"Your mother left this to you. She asked me to give it to you at the appropriate time." Mr. Field calmed down and continued, "Originally, I planned not to give it to you in this life, but this is I have thought a lot in the past few days. I really shouldn’t influence your life in the name of protection. You should make your own choices.”

"What's inside this?" Nidia stared at the box curiously, wondering what her mother had left for her.

"It is a gift, but also a disaster." Mr. Field said solemnly, "Have you never been curious about the relationship between your mother and the Dark Lord?"

Nitya didn't know how to answer this question. Of course she had thought about it, but how should she ask her father? This would hurt his heart.

"I hope that after listening to what I said, you will think carefully about whether you really want to go back to Hogwarts."
