Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

When Nydia returned to the door of the Gryffindor common room again, the place was already full of people. Everyone was whispering to each other about what happened. Nydia also blended into the crowd, pretending to be surprised. They asked about the situation, but no one could accurately tell the reason.

"Finally, someone couldn't stand the Fat Lady's singing and took a beating," Michelle said in a low voice. Since the beginning of school this year, the Fat Lady has been obsessed with the soprano. She often spends a lot of time practicing or showing off, and in When she sings, she never cares whether you read the password correctly, and she is not allowed to enter at all. Many people have complained about this.

"No one would really attack the Fat Lady for such a trivial matter. This is behavior that may lead to expulsion." Hermione did not agree with Michelle's idea.

Nitya nodded cooperatively, but did not make any remarks. Soon Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall arrived at the scene, and soon Lupine and Snape also arrived. They inspected the scene carefully, and finally Peeves ran out. He told everyone the truth of the matter. The Fat Lady She was attacked by someone and is now hiding in another frame. The person who attacked her was Sirius Black who was on the run.

Everyone was shocked, including the principal and teachers who came to the scene. Dumbledore asked all Gryffindor students to return to the dining hall. Not long after, students from the other three houses came here with confusion on their faces. In order to thoroughly check the entire school, Dumbledore announced that all students would gather here to spend the night tonight, with teachers taking turns to guard the place. Dumbledore left hundreds of purple sleeping bags at the scene and left.

The entire dining room was filled with chatter and discussion, and Gryffindor students told students from other houses what had happened.

"I didn't expect him to be so bold and actually dare to enter the school." Ron said with some horror. "Harry, you should be more worried. It seems that he is willing to risk everything. Even if his whereabouts are exposed and he is caught, he will be eliminated." You avenge his master."

"Don't scare Harry with your scaremongering," Nydia said to Ron unhappily, "Think about it, if Sirius really came to see Harry, why did he choose Halloween to come, knowing that everyone at the dinner party They were all gathered in the dining room, but he chose to attack the empty common room." Nydia tried to make everyone realize that Sirius was not targeting Harry.

"He has been running away for so long that he has no concept of time. He didn't know that today is Halloween, otherwise he would have rushed here," Ron said. Obviously, his statement was more credible. Many people around them were He nodded in agreement.

Nydia had no choice but to stop talking. If she said anything to Sirius at this time, it would definitely arouse others' suspicion.

"Nydia, I have something to ask you." After Draco learned what happened in Gryffindor College just now, he immediately thought that Nydia had been urging him to leave and said that he did not want to get involved. Those words come with trouble. He felt that Nitya must know something, so he wanted to come over and find out.

"Everyone get into the sleeping bags." Before Nydia could answer, Percy shouted loudly. He became the president of the male student union this year, and his speech seemed more impressive than before, "Hurry up, don't talk anymore, Lights out in ten minutes.”

"Hey Malfoy, did you hear that? It's time for you to go to bed." Ron stood aside and said to Draco politely.

Draco glared at Ron, but said nothing. Instead, he directly dragged a sleeping bag over and lay down next to Nydia.

"How can you sleep here?" This position is also very close to Ron, and Ron is a little unhappy.

Draco pointed to a few Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students who were very close to them and said, "I didn't ask that I could only stay with students from my own house."

"Stop talking, go to bed quickly." Ron wanted to say something more, but Percy's warning voice came over. Ron is his younger brother, so he will be stricter, but as his younger brother, He couldn't control Fred and George at all, and was even often bullied by them. "Lights out now, I ask everyone to get into their sleeping bags and stop talking."

All the candles were extinguished, and the dark environment made the enchanted ceiling even more eye-catching. Nidia lay flat in her sleeping bag and looked at the starry sky on the ceiling. It felt like she was sleeping on the grass outside.

"Nitya"

Draco's soft call came to her ears, and Nydia turned her head. She was surprised to find that Draco had dragged his sleeping bag very close to her at some point.

"Did you already know it was Sirius? You already knew it when you told me to leave quickly, right?" Draco looked at Nydia with determination.

Knowing that she could no longer hide it from Draco, Nydia had no choice but to nod.

"How did you know it was him?" Draco asked confused.

"I'm actually not sure, I'm just guessing," Nitya began to make up a random story, "I saw that scene when I returned to the common room, and then I saw a suspicious figure, so I chased him I went up, but I didn’t catch him, I just vaguely thought he looked like Sirius.”

"Why are you chasing him? Do you not know how dangerous he is or do you think you are powerful?" Draco said sternly, "Have you told the teacher about this?"

"Please, don't tell me. I'm not sure if it's him I saw. I don't want to be questioned back and forth by all the teachers." Dumbledore would definitely be able to guess this kind of lie immediately.

Draco thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but what do you mean when you say you don't want me to get into trouble? What does this have to do with me?"

"Draco, have you forgotten that Sirius is your cousin? I think there are many people who know about your relationship. And you happened to be on the way to the place of the incident when he invaded the school. This is very strange. It's easy for others to make associations." Nidia explained her worries to Draco, "Now everyone is guessing how he entered the school. It's hard to guarantee that others won't suspect that someone was an inside job for him. Your relationship with Harry is usually so bad."

"So you were so anxious to let me go because you were worried that I would be misunderstood."

"Otherwise, didn't I tell you that I don't want you to get involved in unnecessary trouble?" Nitya said angrily.

"I thought"

"Do you think I don't want others to see us alone together?" Nydia said what Draco wanted to say, "Draco, haven't you noticed that the two of us are often alone together? Why do I still You have to worry about others seeing it.”

Nidia was a little depressed. Although she did not tell Draco that she liked him, could he really not feel her feelings for him at all? But what Nidia didn't know was that it was her kind of The uncertain attitude made all the feelings in Draco's heart become more and more uncertain.

At this time Dumbledore came back, and Nydia and Draco quickly pretended to be asleep. Dumbledore and the teachers who came back one after another talked about their search, but found nothing. They were sure that Sirius had left the school.

Nydia had been listening carefully to what they were saying, and something Snape said caught Nydia's attention.

"Do you remember our conversation, Headmaster?" Snape said to Dumbledore. "It seems impossible for Black to break into the school without relying on internal support."

"I don't believe that anyone in this castle would help Black break in." Dumbledore's words contained a warning, and his tone made it clear that the topic was over, and Snape said nothing more.

When she heard Snape say that he thought Sirius was an insider, Nydia was frightened and felt so guilty that her palms began to sweat. But if she thought about it more carefully, it was only today that she helped Sirius, and from now on It could be heard from Snape's words that he had already suspected someone a long time ago. Who could it be? Is there anyone else in the school who is involved with Sirius?

Dumbledore left, and Nydia slowly opened her eyes. She looked in Draco's direction, and he also opened his eyes and was looking at her.

"Promise me not to do anything dangerous again." Draco said softly to Nydia.

Draco's gray-blue eyes looked at Nidia tenderly. They were so close that Nidia could even see her own reflection in his eyes. She was a little distracted for a moment and did not answer in time. Draco's words, and Draco was slightly annoyed when she didn't reply for a long time, "Did you hear that? Next time you find any trace of Sirius, you have to stay far away."

Nydia looked at Draco's nervousness and chuckled, "I won't be in danger." Because Sirius was not as dangerous as the rumors said, she certainly wouldn't be in any danger.

Draco frowned. He felt that Nydia's answer was not serious enough, "You always like to get yourself involved in troublesome things."

"Really? Then maybe that's why I was sorted into Gryffindor."

"Don't think of overestimating one's capabilities as a form of courage." Draco said angrily. "You should look at the situation clearly and choose the most appropriate method."

"Then do you see the current situation clearly?" A cold voice came from above Nydia and Draco. They turned their heads and saw Snape looking at them with a cold face. "The lights have been turned off for so long and you are still talking here. Is this the most appropriate way you choose to deal with the current situation?"

Nydia and Draco did not dare to reply. Fortunately, Snape did not scold them loudly but lowered his voice, otherwise they would definitely attract the attention of everyone around them.

Snape's eyes flickered back and forth between Nydia and Draco, then he drew out his wand and with a slight wave, the distance between the two of them was opened, and Draco was moved back to where he originally was. The position of the sleeping bag.

Originally, Nitya didn't think much about this distance, but after Snape's manipulation, Nitya's cheeks became hot. They were like a couple caught secretly having a tryst, and she quickly He turned his head to the other side and covered his face with his sleeping bag.
