Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Harry's training against Dementors was scheduled for Thursday night. This made him happy that he could finally learn how to resist Dementors, but he also felt uncomfortable. I worry about whether I can learn this method well.

What also worried him was the problem of the flying broomstick. Professor McGonagall didn't know when he would return the Firebolt. The school's meteor made him almost fall off the broom several times during training due to the unreasonable shaking of the broom. Come down.

"Are you okay?" After the training, Nydia looked at Harry, who was frowning worriedly.

"It's not good," Harry said after a moment of silence. "Originally, everything seemed to be getting better. Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff, Professor Lupine agreed to teach me how to resist dementors, and the Christmas harvest... The Firebolt arrived, but all of a sudden, the situation became worse again. "

"Professor McGonagall will return the Firebolt, which is your Christmas gift." Nydia comforted, "And the Dementors, didn't Professor Lupin promise to teach you on Thursday night?"

"I'm a little worried." Harry hesitated and looked a little embarrassed, "What if I can't learn it well? He said that it is a very profound magic. Wood attaches great importance to this year's competition, and of course I also attach great importance to it." If I don't learn how to fight off the Dementors and they show up again I'll lose the game again."

"Don't be too nervous. You have to believe in yourself. And Professor Luping is a very good teacher. He will definitely be able to teach you."

"Maybe Nidia, maybe you really should be the one to play in this game." Harry, who had lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Nidia, "You are not affected by dementors like me, and you I have my own broomstick, Nimbus 2001. To be honest, it’s unknown whether Professor McGonagall can return the Firebolt to me before the game. I can’t really ride the Meteor to compete.”

"Hey, why are you thinking about running away before you even start?" Nidia was angry that Harry had such negative thoughts. "You will learn how to resist dementors." , the Firebolt will definitely come back to you."

"Sorry, I'm just too nervous." Harry took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down his mood. He almost fell off the broom several times during today's training, which made him extremely depressed.

Nydia sighed and asked Harry, "Would Professor Lupine mind if there was anyone else around when he was teaching you?"

"I don't think so." Harry suddenly realized the meaning of Nitya's words and asked in surprise, "Are you coming together?"

"I think maybe if someone is with you, you won't be so nervous, but if you don't want to"

"Of course I am willing," Harry interrupted Nitya excitedly before she could finish her words, "It would be great if you could accompany me."

Ever since he saw the clan book in the basement warehouse of Field Manor, Draco has been troubled by this matter. What kind of life experience does Nydia have? She is a parselmouth. This trait is rare. This Did she inherit it from her biological father? That at least shows that her biological father is also a wizard. Because as far as he knew, Nydia's mother had not shown the ability to speak Parseltongue.

There was another thing that also bothered him, and that was the rune code left by Nidia. He compared it with the ancient rune translation table, but what he got was just a few sets of numbers, not at all. What sentence. He didn't know if he was mistaken or if the numbers had other meanings. He took the ancient rune book and carefully flipped through it for several days, trying to find another meaning for the names of these magical animals, but made no progress.

In desperation, he had to seek help, but looking at all the people who had taken Ancient Runes, the only person who made Draco think he could decipher the code was the person he thought was least likely to help him. Min Granger. Although she hates to admit it, this girl from the Muggle world is indeed smarter than many pure-blood wizards.

After much hesitation, Draco decided to ask Granger for advice, but he soon discovered that it was not easy to find Granger. He saw her just walking out of the classroom, but in the blink of an eye he was back again. No one is seen. After missing for several days, he finally stopped the rushing Granger on Thursday after dinner.

"Malfoy" Hermione was very surprised by Draco's sudden appearance. Her first reaction was that Draco was here to cause trouble, so she immediately put on a defensive stance, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm not here to cause trouble." Draco was not surprised by Hermione's defensiveness. After all, he had said nasty things to her before. "It's just that I have a problem that I really can't solve, so"

"You want me to help you solve a problem?" Hermione found it unbelievable that the arrogant Malfoy would ask her for help with study problems.

"It's not really a question, it should be said to be a password." Draco took out the piece of parchment and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione wanted to refuse at first, but when she heard that it was a code, she became curious to see what it was. She took the parchment and read it, and after a while she seemed to understand it. After opening the code, he asked Draco with a surprised look on his face. "Did Nitya give this to you?"

"How do you know you've solved it?" Draco asked in surprise and surprise.

"Ahem." Hermione looked a little embarrassed. She definitely couldn't say this to Malfoy. "I think Nydia would prefer you to untie it yourself."

With that said, Hermione handed the parchment back to Draco.

"But I can't figure it out. What I translated was just a set of numbers." Seeing that Hermione didn't seem to want to tell him the answer, Draco became a little anxious.

"Getting the numbers means you are already halfway successful. To understand the meaning of the numbers, you need to use another table. It is a very common table that you use every day." Hermione said, "I can only remind you so far. It is already very It’s obvious.”

“Used every day”

"Yeah, think about it carefully."

After saying that, Hermione left in a hurry. When Draco turned around to ask her more clearly, Hermione was nowhere to be found.

Draco returned to his dormitory in confusion. He leaned on his bedside and looked at the parchment and the numbers he had solved. He recalled in his mind what Granger had just said, which he used every day.

Suddenly, an idea flashed, and a very likely clue appeared in his mind. He quickly took out a quill pen and started recording something on the paper. When the letters corresponding to the numbers were written out one by one, he He stared at this sentence in shock for five minutes, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

That is, go to Nitya.

On Thursday night, Nydia and Harry arrived at the History of Magic classroom at the agreed time. They waited for about five minutes before Professor Lupine rushed over carrying a large cargo box.

"Nydia" Lupine was a little surprised by Nydia's arrival.

"I hope you won't mind my uninvited visit. I'm just curious about what kind of advanced magic can resist those trembling dementors." Nidia said politely, she did not tell Lupine actually came here because of the worries in Harry's heart.

"Of course I won't mind. If I can only show it to Harry, it would appear that I am too biased." Lupine replied with a smile.

"What's in that?" Harry looked curiously at the large cargo box that Lupine had brought. It was shaking constantly.

"It's a Boggart." Lupine said, taking off his coat and putting it aside. "I started looking around the castle on Tuesday, and finally I found this guy in Mr. Filch's filing cabinet. , this is the closest thing we can find to a dementor, we can’t really catch a dementor and practice it.”

"Okay." Harry tried to sound calm enough.

"Then" Lupine took out his wand, and then motioned for Nydia and Harry to do the same, "The spell I am going to demonstrate to you is a very advanced magic, far beyond the level of ordinary wizards. This spell It’s called the Patronus Charm.”

Nydia and Harry looked at Lupine seriously, and Lupine continued. "If done correctly, this spell will conjure up a Patronus, the nemesis of the Dementors, a guardian that acts like a shield between you and the Dementors. A Patronus is a positive force, It is the embodiment of people's hope, happiness, and desire to survive. I must remind you that this spell may be too advanced for you, and many skilled wizards have not been able to master it."

"What does a Patronus look like?" Harry asked curiously.

"The appearance of each Patronus is unique to the wizard who created it. In other words, everyone's Patronus will be different." Lupine said, "When you chant this spell, you must recall it in your mind. Create a particularly pleasant moment so that the spell can take effect."

Lupine then began to have Nydia and Harry try the Patronus Charm.

After practicing Occlumency, it was extremely easy for Nydia to focus on a particularly pleasant moment in her mind, so she waved her wand twice, and something appeared at the tip of her wand. There was a small cloud of silver-white gas, but it was quickly stopped by Nydia, and Harry and Lupine did not see it. Because he had accompanied Harry here, if he learned this spell before Harry did, it would only make Harry's already nervous mood even more tense.

Waiting until Harry's wand also emitted silvery-white gas, Nidia allowed the silvery-white gas at the tip of her wand to appear again.

"Very good, you all performed well," Lupine said with a smile, "Then let's start practicing on the dementors, which one of you will come first?"

"Harry comes first." Nidia quickly pushed Harry out. The key was to let Harry learn the spell. Nidia always reminded herself that she was just here with Harry.
