Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Coming out of Harry's compartment, Nydia followed Draco and walked towards their own compartment. At this time, the rain outside the car window was getting heavier and heavier. The bad weather caused the rain outside the car window to drop. The sky became dark, and lights were needed to illuminate the train.

"Do you feel like the train has slowed down? Are we almost there?" Nidia felt that the train was moving slower than before.

"It seems a little slow." Draco frowned and looked out the dark car window. Apart from the raindrops hitting the window, he couldn't see anything else clearly. "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be slowing down at this time. "

"Maybe it's the weather."

"Maybe we should return to the compartment as soon as possible." The bad weather and the inexplicable slowdown of the train made Draco feel a little uneasy.

The train came to a screeching halt. Because the stop was too sudden, Nidia couldn't stand still and fell forward. Fortunately, Draco caught her in time so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. But this time The fall shook Nidia to her neck, and she was so painful that she almost shed tears.

"I feel like my neck is about to break." Nitya protected her neck with her hands in pain.

"Damn it, I told you to put on the neck brace a long time ago."

Draco knelt down to check the condition of Nydia's neck, but at this moment, all the lights, whether in the aisle or in the compartment, suddenly went out, and everything was dark.

"Oh, what's going on?" The sudden darkness made Nydia nervously clutch Draco's sleeves.

"Let's go into the compartment first."

Draco reached behind him, and when he touched a compartment door handle, he pushed the door open without thinking, and then led Nydia in.

"Who's coming in?" A somewhat familiar voice said.

"Is it Fred or George?" Nidia couldn't tell who was speaking just by her voice.

"Nitya, I knew you wouldn't drop out of school so easily." This time the voice came from another direction, but it was still unclear whether it was Fred or George who spoke.

"Of course, I won't leave until I officially graduate." Nydia was very happy, but she didn't expect that she picked a cubicle at random and it turned out to be the cubicle of the Weasley twins.

"Why don't you put on the neck brace first, lest something happens later and you hurt your neck again." The dark situation has not improved yet, and Draco is worried that something will happen next.

"Fluorescence." Draco lit up a small beam of weak light with his wand, took out the neck brace, and prepared to put it on for Nydia. After the moment just now, Nydia no longer resisted and was very cooperative in putting it on. Neck brace.

"Kid Malfoy is here too." Now Nydia could see clearly that the person speaking was George.

"What kind of thing do you have here that hurts your neck?" Fred asked curiously.

"Wow, what a unique necklace." George looked at Nidia who had already put on the neck brace.

The twin brother's gaze made Nydia a little embarrassed, "I have a stiff neck. I need to wear this for protection for the time being. It will be removed soon, as long as I meet Madam Pomfrey."

"Who is standing at the door?" Fred suddenly looked nervously in the direction of the compartment door.

Nitya turned around with great effort and looked toward the door, only to see a tall and bulky figure wearing a large, tattered cloak standing at the door. He seemed to notice the bright light from Draco's wand, and turned his head towards the cubicle where they were. His entire face was hidden under the hood, making it impossible to see him at all.

Instantly, a chill hit them, and Draco nervously protected Nydia behind him. The closer the figure got, the stronger the chill, and the surrounding air seemed to become thinner. The cold breath penetrated the skin, Seeping into the chest, breathing became a little difficult.

Nydia felt the memories in her mind tumbling, and all the happy memories were being lost bit by bit. Feelings of sadness, sadness and pain were taking over her thoughts. This feeling was somewhat similar to being Legilimency, maybe it was training. After undergoing Occlumency, Nydia quickly got rid of this bad feeling. Although the fear was still coming, the impact on her was no longer that great.

Draco was obviously still seriously affected. The light of his wand had gone out, and the compartment returned to darkness again. Nydia groped in the darkness and held Draco's hand, finding that his hand was cold. Terrible and trembling slightly.

"Draco" Nydia tried calling Draco several times, but he didn't respond.

What on earth is this? Nydia tried calling Fred and George again, but they didn't respond. It seemed that they were in the same state as Draco. Just as Nidia was thinking about what to do, a silver light shone in the aisle, and the tall figure dodged the silver light and floated away.

The cold feeling gradually dissipated, and the lights in the compartment turned on again. Draco slowly recovered, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

"Nitya" Draco held Nitya's hand worriedly and asked breathlessly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how are you?" Nitya was probably the least affected person in the whole cubicle.

"Feels bad, just like"

"It's like I can never be happy again," Fred said, taking over Draco's words.

"Yes, all that comes back to my mind are bad memories." George also calmed down. "What was that just now?"

"They should be dementors, the guards of Azkaban. I heard my father mention that they specialize in sucking people's happiness." Draco's eyes were still a little dull.

"But how did they get on the train?" Nidia asked doubtfully.

"Maybe it's to search for Sirius, they are chasing the fugitives from Azkaban." Draco looked around. The train had started moving again at this time, and the dementors should have left the train. "Let's go back to the cubicle first. The school shouldn't be far away."

"Fred, George, let's meet at school." Nidia said goodbye to the twin brothers, but they were still calming down, so they simply waved to Nidia.

As soon as she came out of the compartment, Nydia met Neville. He was very happy to see Nydia, but his expression froze when he saw Draco behind Nydia.

"Hey, Neville, how are you?" Nydia asked Neville. It was definitely not just their cubicle that was affected by the dementors.

"It's much better now. Professor Lupine gave me some chocolate, and it worked well. The feeling just now was so bad, but the worst thing was probably Harry. He fainted." Recalling the situation just now, Na Wei still felt lingering fear.

"Harry fainted so badly" Nydia asked worriedly.

"Yeah, it scared us all. We suddenly fell to the ground and started convulsing." Neville said, his eyes always looking at the neck brace on Nydia's neck. He was curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"Oh my God, how is he doing now?" Nydia didn't understand why it affected Harry so much.

"Ron and Hermione are taking care of him, and Professor Lupin is here. He should be fine." Neville's eyes were still wandering around Nydia's neck brace, "Your new look is very special."

"Oh, I have some injuries on my neck. This can help protect me." Nidia explained, "I'm going to see how Harry is doing."

Nydia started to walk in the direction of Harry's cubicle, but Draco held her back.

"Didn't I tell you that the professor is taking care of him? You can't help much if you go over there. Let's go back to the compartment to check on Blaise and Michelle," Draco said a little unhappy.

Michelle didn’t know how she was doing, Nitya gave up the idea of ​​looking for Harry again.

"Okay, let's go back to the compartment," Nydia waved to Neville and said, "See you later, Neville."

"See you later."

When Nydia and Draco finally returned to their cubicles, they felt that the atmosphere in the cubicle was a little strange, and both Michelle and Blaise were unusually silent.

When Michelle saw Nitya come back, she simply said hello, and then continued to lower her head and said nothing. And Blaise just looked back at them, then continued to turn his head and look out the car window.

"I said, are you two okay?" Nidia's first reaction was that the two of them were affected by the dementors and had not yet recovered.

"It's okay." Michelle simply replied and then said nothing more.

"How are you?" Draco felt a little strange when Blaise didn't say a word, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Very good." Blaise still faced the direction of the car window.

"What's wrong with you? What's going on?" Blaise's tone made Draco feel that something must be wrong. He asked again and put a hand on Blaise's shoulder.

"Don't bother me." Blaise impatiently shook off Draco's hand. This behavior made Nydia and Draco feel that something had happened. Blaise had never been like this before.

Nitya looked at Michelle in confusion, hoping she could tell her something, but Michelle just looked somewhere else with a somewhat wandering gaze and still made no sound.

Draco and Nydia looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what happened. They spent the rest of the journey in this quiet atmosphere.

The train arrived at Hogsmeade Station, and everyone packed up and got off the train. After Blaise stood up, Nydia was surprised to find that there was a palm print on the left cheek that he had turned away just now, although it was already very shallow. But you can still see it if you get closer. Draco also saw the mark, and they looked at Michelle together. Michelle immediately turned her head to the other side with a blush on her face, and packed her things pretending not to know anything.

Now Draco and Nydia became more curious about what happened, but in this situation, neither Michelle nor Blaise would say anything. They could only ask alone after returning to the dormitory.
