Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

At lunch time, Hermione changed her attitude from last night's dinner and no longer refused to eat the food served in the restaurant.

"Is this a new strategy you came up with? Push yourself to death?" Ron looked at Hermione who was devouring the food in surprise.

"No, I have to rush to the library." Hermione's mouth was filled with bean sprouts.

"I'll go with you," Nydia said to Hermione.

"What?" Ron said in disbelief, "This is the first day of school. Why haven't you two given homework yet?"

Hermione shrugged and continued eating like a storm. Nydia also speeded up her eating, and not long after, the two of them got up and left the restaurant together.

As soon as Hermione arrived at the library, she went straight to the collection of law-related books.

"Are you trying to fight for the interests of the house elves through legal means?" Nydia asked Hermione.

"Yes, only in this way can all house elves be truly liberated." Hermione said excitedly. "Let the Ministry of Magic introduce a law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of house elves."

"Hermione, have you ever tried chatting with house elves about what they want most?" Nydia said cautiously.

"Not too much," said Hermione, "but Harry told me a lot about Dobby, his desire to be free and to get what he deserved."

"Dobby is a special case among house elves. Not all house elves think like him." Nydia didn't want Hermione's enthusiasm to be in vain.

"They just haven't realized this yet, as long as we make them understand." Hermione said very firmly. "By then, they will all be as eager to be free as Dobby is."

"Okay, then I wish you success."

Hermione was so insistent that Nydia could not persuade her any more and turned around to the area where she needed to find information. What she needed to find was information about Occlumency. Lucius had sent Draco a letter in the morning to inform him that Snape had agreed to teach Occlumency to both of them. In view of their relationship last semester, Due to the unpleasant experience, Nydia decided to look for information and do some homework in advance to avoid being scolded too badly by Snape.

Nydia has learned basic Occlumency before, but it cannot truly achieve the effect of sealing her brain. It can only hide the information that she does not want snoopers to obtain. It is much more difficult to completely seal her brain. If the previous basis was to organize the memories in the mind into categories, then now it is necessary to move these organized memories into a large iron box and then lock them so that others cannot pry.

Occlumency was not within the school's teaching scope, but there were still some books on this subject. Nidia read them carefully one by one, hoping to find some useful experience from the previous experiences. After carefully reading through it, Nidia discovered that several books mentioned Legilimency when describing Occlumency. Judging from the descriptions, the two witchcraft actually have a lot in common. The operation directions are different, one is to protect one's own consciousness, and the other is to spy on their consciousness. Because of their similarity, many people who are proficient in Legilimency are also proficient in Occlumency, such as Snape and Dumbledore.

This discovery aroused Nydia's interest, and she wondered if this also meant that she could also learn Legilimency.

By the time Nydia had read through all the books related to Occlumency that she had found, she had been in the library for a whole afternoon, and Hermione, who had come with her, had already left because she had classes in the afternoon. After returning all the books, it was already dinner time, and Nydia headed directly towards the restaurant. She thought that she should find Draco first and tell him some basic Occlumency experience, so that he could do it again. You will also learn faster.

When Nydia came to the foyer outside the restaurant, she found a large group of people gathered in the foyer. Something seemed to be happening. She looked over and saw Mad-Eye Moody controlling a group of people with his wand. The white furry thing was bobbing up and down.

"What happened?" Nydia squeezed through the crowd and came to Harry and Ron who were standing at the front.

"Moody is teaching a lesson." Harry turned his head and found that the person standing next to him was Nydia, and what he was about to say came to an abrupt end.

"It's ridiculous that Malfoy turned into a ferret." Ron looked at what was happening in front of him with a theatrical expression.

"What did you say?" Nydia looked at the ferret being teased by Moody in horror, "You said that was Draco?"

"Nidia, why are you here?" Ron then realized that the person he had just asked was Nidia.

"Moody is sensible and won't really hurt him." Harry wanted Nidia not to worry too much, but before he could finish his words, Nidia had already rushed forward.

"fainted"

Nydia cast a spell at Moody, interrupting his control of Draco, and then hugged Draco, who had turned into a ferret. The already panicked ferret saw Nydia. Tiya's reaction became more intense after that. It kept struggling and tried to break away from Nitya's arms, but Nitya held it tightly so that it could not break away, and gently stroked it with her hands. Holding his head, trying to calm him down.

"Undo the spell for me." Nydia pointed the wand at Moody angrily.

Everyone around thought that Nydia would suffer the same fate as Draco, because she actually used a spell to attack a former Auror, but Moody, who blocked Nydia's attack, not only did not attack Nydia, He didn't even scold him, he just stood there and looked at Nitya, the expression on his face actually had the feeling of being caught for doing something wrong.

"What is happening here?" Professor McGonagall squeezed through the crowd and walked to the middle. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was horrified. "Miss Field, what are you doing? Put down your wand."

"Unless he restores Draco to his original state." Nydia completely ignored Professor McGonagall's words, and the wand in her hand was still pointed firmly at Moody.

"What do you mean that's a student?" Professor McGonagall looked at the ferret in Nydia's arms, and then looked at Moody in horror, "Professor Moody, we never use transfiguration to punish students. I think Dumbledore must have told you."

"He probably mentioned it before." Moody scratched his chin carelessly, his eyes flickering, not daring to look in Nitya's direction.

"I said hurry up and undo the spell, otherwise I won't be polite." Nidia tightened her grip on the wand in her hand a little more.

"Miss Field, what are you doing?" Professor McGonagall looked at Nydia sternly. Even if Moody did something wrong, Nydia as a student should not point the wand at the professor.

"I can't control that much anymore." Nydia didn't wait for Professor McGonagall to finish her words. She raised her wand and prepared to cast a spell on Moody again.

"Stop" Professor McGonagall roared. She stopped Nydia's actions, then took out her wand and pointed it at the ferret in Nydia's arms. With a loud crackling sound, Draco returned to his original state, and he fiercely He looked at Moody, his face flushed red, his eyes full of pain and humiliation.

"Draco, how are you?" Nydia looked Draco up and down worriedly to see if he was injured.

"I will definitely settle this debt with you." Draco gritted his teeth and said this to Moody, then turned around and left the scene angrily.

"Boy, I'm waiting for you to settle the score," Moody said with a nonchalant smile, his eyes full of contempt.

Nidia glared at Moody fiercely, and Moody immediately suppressed the smile on his face and turned his head to the side again.

"I will also settle this debt with you." After saying that, Nidia chased after Draco in the direction he left.

Draco walked very fast, and Nydia had to jog all the way to barely catch up with him.

"Draco, wait for me"

"Draco, don't be angry"

"Draco, he is a complete lunatic, you don't want to be like him"

Nydia persuaded Draco all the way, but Draco didn't listen at all and still walked quickly forward.

"Draco, what are you doing?" Nydia grabbed Draco's wrist and forced him to stop.

"Who asked you to help?" Draco finally said, "To show everyone what a useless boyfriend you have. Do you still need a girlfriend to stand up for me?"

Draco's words stunned Nydia, and she suddenly understood why he struggled so hard when she hugged him who had turned into a ferret. Which boy doesn't want to look tall in front of his girlfriend? Draco's character is always so proud. Moody made him embarrassed in public. The last thing he might want is for him to see his... It looked good, but in the end it was himself who stepped in to help him get out of trouble, which was a serious blow to his self-esteem.

Nydia lowered her head, not knowing what to say to Draco for a moment. Her own comfort seemed to only make Draco feel more embarrassed.

"Damn" Draco cursed in a low voice, why did he want to vent his anger on Nydia? She had done nothing wrong. Draco put one hand on his forehead and said, "Nidia, please leave me alone for a while. I want to calm down."

"Draco"

Draco didn't want to say anything that would make Nydia sad when he was emotional, and Nydia didn't want to leave the sad Draco alone, so the two stood in a stalemate without saying anything. He stayed in place until Blaise appeared.

Blaise patted Nitya's shoulder gently, "Leave this kid to me."

Nydia looked at Blaise, then looked at Draco worriedly.

"Let's go." Draco turned his head to the side, no longer looking at Nydia.

A feeling of powerlessness came over him. It was true that continuing to stay would not do anything except make Draco feel embarrassed. Any words of comfort at this time would only appear less sincere.

After saying thank you to Brace in a low voice, Nidia turned and left.
