Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"I remember you didn't have class in the first period in the morning, right?" Nydia asked Draco.

Draco nodded, looked at Nydia with a smile and said, "Does Miss Field have any plans for me?"

"Let's find an empty classroom and have a good chat," Nydia said, holding Draco's arm and pretending to be mysterious.

"No one is chatting." Draco raised his eyebrows and looked at Nydia suspiciously.

"Come on, I have something important to talk to you about."

Finally, they found an empty classroom next to the History of Magic classroom on the second floor. As soon as Nydia closed the classroom door, Draco hugged her tightly from behind.

“Sorry Nidia yesterday I”

"Don't take it to heart, Draco." Nydia interrupted Draco, "Let bygones be bygones, I have other important things to tell you."

"What's up"

Draco let go of his hand, Nydia turned around and took out a piece of parchment from her pocket, "Do you remember our little secret?"

"Are you talking about Animagus? Are you going to start practicing?" Draco was a little worried. Even with Sirius's guidance, he still felt that this behavior was not rational.

"No, what I want to say is that maybe we won't be able to practice this school year." Nydia handed the parchment to Draco, "Look at the first item, we need to transfer Mander Keep the leaves in your mouth for a month."

"With a leaf in our mouth for a month, we won't be able to live our daily lives normally." Draco didn't look carefully at the contents of the parchment on the train last time. Now that he looked carefully, he just felt that this The above conditions were too harsh, and I couldn't help but wonder how Sirius and the others secretly learned the Animagus back then.

"I think I need to write a letter and ask Sirius about this." Nydia put the parchment away. "We can't practice this for the time being, but Occlumency. I guess Snape will talk to us about learning Occlumency after Potions class this afternoon. I want to first share some of the basic Occlumency lessons I learned before. Let me tell you from experience, so that it will be easier for you to learn again.”

"How long did it take you to learn?" His own was lower than Nydia's, which made Draco a little concerned.

"It took about a month and a half," Nidia recalled the situation at that time. "There was actually no progress until we had the know-how."

"Is the trick something you find yourself?"

"Huh?" Nitya was stunned for a moment. She tried to recall the scene in her brain, but that memory seemed to have been deleted and she couldn't remember it.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked worriedly, seeing Nydia frowning in distress.

"I seem to have forgotten something." It seems this is not the first time this has happened. "It seems that someone told me the trick, but who was it?"

"Forgot" Draco looked at Nydia in surprise as she was trying to remember. "Is it the Forgetting Curse?"

"The Forgetting Curse, but if I was hit by the Forgetting Curse, I would probably forget it along with the tricks she told me."

"No, that's just an ordinary forgetting spell. I've heard that if it's a more advanced forgetting spell, it can selectively remove a certain part of the memory." Draco said.

"Who can do the more advanced Oblivion Curse? Among the wizards I know, Dumbledore is probably the only one who has such an ability. But he has absolutely no reason to do this." Nydia shook her head. The head said, "Forget it, no matter who it is, it's not harming me after all. I'd better hurry up and tell you the trick. We don't have much time."

Although this person didn't seem to have any malicious intent, Draco was still a little worried about having such a mysterious person next to Nydia, but now he didn't know who this person was, and there was no other way.

Nydia told Draco how she practiced, but she didn't know if Draco would really understand what she was saying if he had never felt being attacked by Legilimency.

"Anyway, you have to keep your brain highly focused and clear. Don't panic when Snape peeks into your memory. The more panicked you are, the easier it will be for him to invade your thoughts. Stay calm." Nydia said to Draco.

Draco nodded in understanding. He felt uncomfortable with Snape spying on his memory, but it was better to be spied on by Snape now than to be spied on by a real enemy in the future.

After Potions class ended in the afternoon, Snape indeed left Nydia and Draco alone. He paced back and forth in front of the two of them for a while before speaking.

"I think Lucius has told you about Occlumency a long time ago. It is very difficult to fully master this spell at your age, but it is very necessary for you, so you must Spend a lot of time on this," Snape looked up at the two of them, and then continued, "I can't leave you two in my office for a long time, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion, especially now. That guy is in school.”

"That guy" Draco asked doubtfully.

"Your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Mad-Eye Moody, I advise you two to stay away from him and don't provoke him easily." Snape's expression changed at the mention of Mad-Eye Moody. Somewhat ugly.

Nydia and Draco looked at each other, Snape's reminder was too late, they had already provoked Moody.

"I think Nitya, you should have told Draco some of your own experiences in learning Occlumency." Snape did not notice the difference between the two of them and continued, "Our practice time is only every Saturday. The rest just requires you to spend more time practicing.”

Snape turned to look at Nydia, "First of all, I want to see if you have become accustomed to this after such a long time."

Although Snape's words sounded like he was reminding Nydia to be prepared, in fact Snape had already activated Legilimency when he looked at Nydia, but Nydia reacted quickly. After coming over, she not only effectively dealt with Snape's Legilimency attack, but also tried to prevent Snape from further prying as stated in the book.

This result surprised Snape. Nydia could see that there was approval in his eyes, but what he said was just a good sentence.

Snape looked at Draco, "You have never been exposed to Occlumency and Legilimency before, so I will give you some time to make adequate preparations."

Draco took a few deep breaths, focused his attention as Nydia said, and then looked at Snape firmly, "I'm ready."

Nydia looked at Draco nervously. Snape had already launched Legilimency on him. Judging from his expression, Draco seemed to be coping relatively smoothly. After a few minutes, Snape ended his memory of Draco. of snooping.

"How do you feel?" Nydia looked at Draco in surprise. She remembered that she was very embarrassed when she practiced for the first time, but Draco didn't seem to be affected now.

"He's very good. Compared with some people, the first time he dealt with the situation is much better." Before Draco could say anything, Snape spoke first, "Okay, let's get here today, Saturday's meeting We will officially start the course again at that time, and you can leave now.”

"Wait a minute, Professor, I have something to ask you." Draco said.

"What's the matter?" Snape looked at Draco, "If it's about Occlumency, I think we can wait until Saturday when it officially starts."

"No, no, I want to ask, if a person is under the Oblivion Curse, can her forgotten memory be read using Legilimency?" Draco looked at Nydia, who just said Draco thought about this question when Nep was peeking into his memory, whether Legilimency could be used to restore Nydia's lost memories.

Snape frowned and looked at Nydia, "You are under the Forgetting Curse."

"Actually, I'm not sure if it's the Forgetting Curse, but I just can't recall some things." Nidia said.

"Show me that memory."

After saying that, Snape used Legilimency on Nydia again. Nydia's memory picture came to the period when Nydia was learning Occlumency during the summer vacation of the second year. When the picture progressed to Nydia walking into her room, a sudden A force pushed Snape out of Nydia's memory.

Nydia held her head in pain, and Snape's face looked very ugly.

"What happened Nydia, how are you?" Draco held Nydia worriedly.

"Who was in your home at that time?" Snape asked Nydia seriously.

Nydia's expression was a little dull, and she came back to her senses after hearing what Snape said, "There is no one else here except me and father."

"Are you sure?" Nydia's state made Snape a little doubtful of her words.

"Yes, yes, there is no one else." Nidia looked a little strange.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Occlumency learning progress suddenly made a breakthrough after that night." Snape looked at Nydia inquiringly.

Nydia kept her head lowered, not daring to look into Snape's eyes, "Yes."

Snape stared at Nydia closely, and he could feel her emotional fluctuations. "Your memory has indeed been tampered with, and this person's abilities are very powerful. Maybe I should tell Deng about this." Bullido”

"No," Nitya said in a panic, "No matter who this person is, in fact she didn't hurt me, right? Maybe she has her own reasons that need to be hidden."

"Although Nidia is not hurting you now, who can ensure that she has no other intentions in the future?" Draco was always worried about a mysterious person lurking next to Nidia.

"But it's been so long, maybe that person is no longer there at all," Nitya said excitedly, "Anyway, she didn't hurt me, and I don't want to find out who she is."

"But"

Draco wanted to continue to persuade, but Snape stopped him, "Now that Nydia has decided, I think we don't need to worry too much."

Snape's eyes were fixed on Nydia, which made Nydia feel very uneasy. She intuitively told her that Snape did not stop caring about this matter as he said.

After leaving Snape, Nydia went directly back to the dormitory. At this time, the dormitory was empty, and everyone was still eating in the restaurant at this time. She rummaged through her luggage, and finally took out a photo in a notebook. The woman in the photo was slender, with long brown curly hair, and her appearance was roughly similar to hers. This was Photo of Nitya's mother.

Just when Snape was checking her deleted memory fragment, Nytia stayed in the memory longer than Snape. In a trance, she saw a woman sitting beside her bed. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her figure was so similar to her mother.

She knew that her idea was absurd, but it was such a ridiculous idea that made her excited. She turned her head to look at Ivan, who was still curled up in bed and sleeping. Her expression was complicated, and there were traces of tears in her eyes. She leaned over and gently kissed Ivan's forehead with her lips, but Ivan still showed no signs of waking up. The situation that she didn't care about originally made Nytia feel flustered.
