Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

When Nidia handed the Wolfsbane potion to Lupine, a look of surprise and embarrassment flashed across his face, and soon he returned to his usual gentle smile.

"Fortunately, Professor Snape is here. This potion is very complicated, and there are not many wizards who can prepare it." Lupine said with a bitter smile, "I have been feeling a little uncomfortable in my body. It's an old problem."

Seeing Lupine trying so hard to hide his secret, Nydia suddenly felt a little sad. She understood this feeling very well, trying hard to pretend that she was just an ordinary person because she was worried about what others would think of her true identity.

"Actually, I know this is wolfsbane potion, and I also know what this potion is used for." Nidia said calmly.

Lupine looked a little surprised, and then smiled helplessly. He seemed to try hard to keep a smile and calmness on his face no matter what the situation. Nidia didn't know that it was after experiencing so much bitterness that his heart became like this. Tough.

"Did Snape tell you that?"

"Yes, I have participated in the previous brewing of the potion, so it is not too difficult to find out what kind of potion this is."

Lupine nodded clearly, "I have heard some rumors that Snape prefers you, and it seems that they are not groundless."

"But there are always discrepancies between rumors and the truth." Nidia shrugged, always having to take care of herself, Snape must be unwilling to do so.

"But you are indeed a very smart child, and you mastered the Patronus Charm quickly. Harry may not have noticed, but I saw the change in your wand, although you stopped it quickly." Lu Ping looked at Nidia with admiration.

"It seems I didn't stop it fast enough." Although I was very happy to be praised by a teacher whom I recognized very much, I was still a little embarrassed when my little thoughts were seen through. "Actually, you don't have to worry about your identity. I really think you are a very good teacher and your classes are very interesting. I think everyone will still accept you even if they finally know your identity."

"Thank you for your recognition, but everyone has different ideas. You can never make everyone recognize you, and their worries are not completely unreasonable. If it weren't for the emergence of this potion, I would be I will definitely not accept this job." Lu Ping shook the Wolfsbane potion in his hand. "By the way, I haven't asked how you are doing yet. I have been paying some attention to your situation since practice that day."

"Professor Snape, who I was about to tell you about this, asked me not to learn the Patronus Charm from you until I learned to control my emotions, so I won't come to Harry's practice next time. Borg The image Te created made me lose control too easily, even though I knew it wasn’t true.”

"It was a bad experience, wasn't it? I heard something about the secret room last year. You were brave and faced him alone."

“No power to fight back”

"Don't be ashamed, many skilled wizards are equally helpless in front of him." Lu Ping comforted.

"Can I ask you a question? It might be a little abrupt. If you don't want to answer, you can just refuse me." Nidia said carefully.

"What's the problem?" Lupine looked at Nydia curiously.

"That's right. I think you must have had some very good friends when you were studying. Did you stay away from them because you were worried that they would care about your identity or that your identity would bring danger to them?" Ni Tia heard from Sirius that Lupine was bitten by a werewolf when he was very young and turned into a werewolf. His childhood was very similar to hers in that he had no contact with other people of the same age until Deng Xiaoping. Blido accepted him and let him come to Hogwarts to study. They had the same experience and the same ulterior identity, so Nitya felt that he might have the same troubles as herself.

Nitya's question caused Lupine to fall into a brief memory, "I did have a few very close friends back then. At first, I was very afraid that they would know my true identity and alienate me, so I made up all kinds of lies to hide it. I couldn't sleep at night because I was worried that my lies would be exposed. But one day I was surprised to find that they already knew my identity. Instead of alienating me, they secretly used their own methods to stay with me. By your side, so that I won't be so lonely." The smile on Lupine's face became very soft, which was more genuine than the smile he usually showed. It seems that no matter how strong a person appears on the outside, there must still be a softness inside waiting for someone to protect him. "They made me feel that I should have more trust in my friends, and the survival of this friendship should also give them the right to choose."

"But even if they don't care what you are like in real life, wouldn't you worry that you would hurt them?" Nitya asked excitedly.

"That's why you should tell them what you are really like, so that they can know how to get along with you without getting themselves hurt." Lu Ping replied seriously.

Lupine's answer touched Nydia a lot. Should she also tell Draco the truth? Can they also find a way to get along without being threatened?

"Thank you for answering my question."

"I hope it can help you." Although Lupine didn't know why Nidia asked these questions, he could feel that Nidia was troubled by something.

"I've bothered you for so long, I think it's time for me to leave." Nydia said goodbye to Lupine and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment." Lupine called to Nydia, and then took out something from his pocket, "I think this should be something you left behind last time."

Nidia looked back and saw that the thing in Lupine's hand was actually the small wooden sculpture that Sirius gave her last time. Nidia didn't know whether to reach out and take it because the image of this wooden sculpture was too easy to associate with others. When it comes to Sirius, anyone who has seen his Animagus form will ask, "Why do you think I dropped this?"

Lupine smiled, put the wooden sculpture in his hands and played with it for a while. "Because I happen to know that this gadget was given to your mother by one of my former friends, but I didn't expect Doris to keep it."

Given to his mother, does the other friend Sirius mentioned refer to his mother? It seems that Sirius appeared in front of him by the Black Lake at that time and it was not just because of food. Also, he has been carefully avoiding the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic. How could he show up so easily for a little food, even in the form of an Animagus?

"It's great that I'm still worried about not finding it." Nidia pretended to be happy and took the small wooden sculpture from Lupine.

In the next few days, Nydia kept thinking about whether she should go to Draco for a talk and tell him everything, as Lupine said. There happened to be a Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin this weekend, and Nydia didn't want to distract Draco at this time, so she decided to wait until the game was over before looking for Draco.

On the day of Saturday's game, Nydia came to the game alone. She sat silently in the audience seat. When Draco appeared on the stage, she unconsciously shrank her body inward. She was worried that Draco would She saw herself, but her worries were a little unnecessary, because Draco didn't even look at the audience.

The game was very fierce, but in the end Slytherin still narrowly defeated Ravenclaw by a narrow margin. Draco was scratched by a Bludger on his wrist when he was fighting for the Golden Snitch with Ravenclaw's Seeker at the end. And almost failed to catch the Golden Snitch.

After the game, Nydia ran away from the viewing area because she was worried about Draco's injury. After the last incident with Foxy, the Slytherin players were already familiar with Nydia. When they saw Nydia When Tia came off the court they reminded Draco of her origins.

Draco turned back to look at Nidia, his expression was very cold, as if he was just a stranger. Nidia felt very uncomfortable, but she quickly found some fresh food in the stretch bag and wanted to give it to her. Draco, but just when she was about to walk in front of Draco, another figure had already ran in front of Draco from the other direction, also holding some fresh food in his hand.

"Nidia, I didn't know you were here." Astoria looked at Nidia in surprise, and then wanted to take back the white wine in her hand with some embarrassment. She felt that with Nidia here, her behavior It's completely unnecessary. But just when Astoria was about to take back the fresh food in her hand, Draco reached out and took the fresh food from her hand.

"Thanks."

After Draco thanked Astoria without much expression, he turned and walked towards the player tunnel. Everyone thought that Draco would choose to accept Nydia's kindness, but in fact Draco Nitya didn't look at her more than once. She stood there feeling embarrassed and sad. She retracted her outstretched hand and wanted to put the fresh food back into the telescopic bag. Suddenly a figure approached her. .

"Oh Nitya, did you prepare this for me? You are so attentive. You even discovered a small wound like the skin on the back of my hand being scratched by a Bludger." Istercaro took it. He took the white blood in Nidia's hand and applied it on the back of his hand without any wounds.

Nidia knew that he did this to relieve her embarrassment, so she whispered thank you to him. For the first time, she felt that Easterkaro did not seem so annoying.

Isterkaro's words caused Draco, who had already reached the entrance of the players' tunnel, to pause. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Nidia and Isterkaro with his peripheral vision, although he was unhappy in his heart. , but he still walked into the player tunnel without looking back.
