Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Nidia was completely sleepless because of the nightmare, but Draco was not like that. He was very tired from traveling all night. It didn't take long for Nidia to find that Draco had fallen asleep again while holding her in his arms. Not wanting to wake him up, Tia let him sleep on her bed. After covering Draco with a quilt, Nitya left the room alone.

I remember that the last time I came to Malfoy Manor was Christmas in the first year. Draco's careless introduction at that time made Nydia not know much about the entire Malfoy Manor. The only thing that left a deep impression was the carefully decorated one. garden, and the white peacock in the garden.

"I thought you would sleep longer." Lucius's voice came from behind.

"I can't sleep." Nydia was a little embarrassed. Since Draco was still in her room, Nydia was still wearing her nightgown.

"Are you scared?" Nitya's reaction seemed to be what Lucius expected.

Nidia nodded, "This is the first time I feel that death is so close to me."

When I faced the man in the woods, I was only thinking about how to escape. But when I thought about it after the incident had passed, I realized how dangerous the situation was. The man had completely wanted to kill me. If I hadn't If he could escape, his life would most likely end in that forest, and I still feel scared when I think about it now.

"Sit down." Lucius pointed to the sofa beside him, and then sat on the seat opposite Nitya. "A cup of hot chocolate will help ease your mood."

After a while, a house elf brought Nydia a cup of hot chocolate.

"You didn't seem so scared when you experienced the secret room incident," Lucius asked.

"Maybe it's because I always thought he wouldn't really do anything to hurt me."

"It's best to get rid of this idea as soon as possible." Lucius looked at Nidia and said, "He may indeed not do anything to you now, but you should also know the reason. Once he finds that he can't get what he wants from you, When he wants something, you are just like anyone else."

Nitya didn't reply immediately. She held the cup of hot chocolate with both hands and took a sip. "Are you scared too? You should be in danger at any time if you stay around him."

"Fear, the fear of death should be everyone's instinct." Lucius picked up a cup of tea at his hand, "But there are some things you must do no matter how scared you are, for the sake of the people and things you want to protect. "

"Are you really not against my relationship with Draco? I remember you said you didn't want him to get involved in trouble." If everything Lucius did was for the safety of Narcissa and Draco , then he has undoubtedly dragged Draco into danger again.

"But Draco chose you." Lucius sighed, "I can't always be by his side to protect him. He must learn to protect himself. If you are the reason for him to grow up, then that is too A nice thing to do.”

"Draco is actually a child with a fragile and lonely heart. Although he often has some so-called friends around him, in fact, the only one he can really call a friend is Blaise." Lucius continued, " Because I have always been around, his growth has hardly suffered any setbacks. I am worried that if one day in the future, I can no longer protect him from behind, he will not be able to cope with it alone. Nidia, come At that time, I hope you can stay with him and help him. "

"No matter what happens, I will always be by his side."

In the past, Lucius had always been aloof, arrogant, and unsmiling in Nydia's heart. Although he loved Draco, he was more harsh. But at this time, Lucius made Nydia feel that he In fact, he is just an ordinary father. I am worried that my son will be hurt and want to protect him, but I am also afraid that I will be overprotective and prevent him from growing up on his own.

"Father Ni"

After Draco woke up, he found that he was sleeping in Nydia's bed, and Nydia had disappeared. He ran out of the room in a panic to look for her, but he didn't expect Nydia to be chatting with his father.

"Can't you sleep too?" Lucius looked at Draco, who was still in his pajamas. "Just in time, the letter from Hogwarts has been sent. When the two of them wake up, you can go to Diagon Alley together. Shopping can be regarded as a change of mood." After finishing speaking, Lucius stood up and left.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" After Lucius left, Draco came to Nydia.

"I want you to sleep a little longer." Nydia moved her body and made room for Draco to sit down.

"Do you know how worried I was when I opened my eyes and saw that you were gone?" Draco frowned slightly and pinched Nydia's face lightly with his hand in punishment.

"I'm just walking around in the manor, what's there to worry about?" Nidia pursed her lips, "Are you worried that I'll find out some of your secrets?"

"What secrets can I have?" Draco smiled disapprovingly, "It seems you are the one with more secrets, right?"

"I've told you everything now, but you don't seem to have told me everything."

Draco thought for a while, and it seemed that he had nothing to hide from Nydia, "What are you talking about?"

"You never told me that you also entered the secret room."

Draco's originally relaxed expression suddenly turned unpleasant after hearing Nydia's words, "There's nothing to say. There's no difference between me going and not going. The person who saved you is Potter."

"But your desire to save me is unmatched by Harry."

"What if?" Draco wanted to ask if Nydia knew that Potter's desire to save her was the same as his own, then would her feelings for Potter be different, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Maybe I shouldn't tell Nidia this, so I didn't ask any more.

"what if"

"Nothing. I will work hard to make myself stronger and become a person who can truly protect you." Draco looked at Nydia seriously.

Nydia was deeply moved. She lowered her head to hold back the tears in her eyes. Then she put on a naughty smile and looked at Draco, "Let's go to the garden before they get up. I want to see that." A few white peacocks, how are they doing now?"

"They're great, but before that, I think we should go back to the room and change our clothes. We can't just run around in pajamas all the time."

Draco reached out and pulled Nydia up from the sofa, and the two of them went back to their rooms to change clothes.

By the time Michelle and Blaise woke up, it was already very late, and their original plan to go to Diagon Alley had to be postponed to the next day.

"Dress" Michelle looked at the letter from the school carefully, "Why is a dress needed in this year's item list?"

Nitya took the letter from Michelle and said, "It was specially marked as a dress for a formal occasion. Is the school going to hold a dance this year?"

"It's the Triwizard Tournament. My father mentioned it to me before." Draco said, "This year's Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts."

"So there will be students from other schools coming to the school," Blaise said excitedly, "I heard that Beauxbatons has a lot of girls, and they are also very beautiful."

"Have you finished causing trouble to the girls in your own school and turned to other schools?" Michelle rolled her eyes at Blaise.

"Merlin testifies that I have never harmed any girl. I have only maintained a friendly relationship with them." Blaise made an innocent face, "But in a competition for honor like Draco, you should Won’t miss it”

"What exactly is the Triwizard Tournament?" Nydia had never heard of the Triwizard Tournament before.

"To put it simply, the three magic academies each select an outstanding student to participate in some project competitions, and select a winner from them. The champion of this competition can not only bring glory to himself, but also bring him glory. "It brings glory to the school." Draco explained to Nidia, "However, because the competition was too dangerous, contestants often died and were injured, so the competition was stopped for a long time."

"Death and Injury" Nydia looked at Draco in horror, "Draco, you must promise me that you will not participate in this kind of competition."

"Don't worry, I can't participate even if I want to." Sensing Nydia's concern, Draco happily touched her head, "The Ministry of Magic has added a new rule this year to ensure the safety of the competition. , you must be a wizard who is over seventeen years old to participate."

"They finally made the right decision." Nidia breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ministry of Magic must be particularly worried about what kind of trouble will happen in this game right now. Look at the Quidditch World Cup. There are so many Ministry of Magic staff present but they are making such a big fuss," Michelle said.

"Did you read today's Daily Prophet? Several corpses were lifted out of the woods. If I hadn't been at the scene, maybe I would have believed such reports. These reporters kept their eyes open and were waiting for the Ministry of Magic. Something goes wrong again," Blaise said.

"I really can't see you still being able to read newspapers," Michelle said sarcastically.

"My father commented that Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, is a superficial person. The Ministry of Magic is just a showpiece on the outside, but it's actually a mess on the inside." Draco said while shaking his head.

"I don't care what happens to the Ministry of Magic. As long as Dumbledore is here, they can't interfere with Hogwarts again."

Nidia's eyes accidentally glanced at Yi Wan aside, and she found that Yi Wan, who had been sleeping since getting on the carriage, was sitting quietly next to them, listening to them with interest.

"Hey, are you finally willing to wake up, little lazy cat?" Yiwan heard Nitya's words, walked to her feet and rubbed her head on her feet coquettishly, Nitya bent down and hugged her into her arms. , "Are you also looking forward to the Triwizard Tournament? You seem to like this kind of lively scene."

Looking at Nydia talking to the cat, Draco smiled softly, "I think you are the one looking forward to the Triwizard Tournament."

"Of course, as a pure spectator, I am certainly looking forward to such a wonderful game. Just thinking about it makes me feel that this school year will be very interesting."
