Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

The closeness between Chretien and Nydia made Draco uncomfortable. He put his arm around Nydia's shoulders, pulled her closer to him, and then handed a glass of butterbeer to Nydia's. In front of me, "I ordered you your favorite butterbeer."

Chretien glanced at Draco's hand on Nydia's shoulder calmly, and then said to Nydia pretending to be curious, "Is this butterbeer? I often heard it when I was at Hogwarts. When someone mentions it, it is said that this is the most famous product of this store.”

"Chretien, do you want to try it? This tastes really good!" After saying that, Nidia was about to push the butterbeer in front of her in front of Chretien, but was stopped by Bray.

"How could we forget Chretien's share?" Blaise pushed the butterbeer originally placed in front of him in front of Chretien. If Nidia remembered correctly, this was the case when they first came in. She had seen Blaise drink a cup of butterbeer.

Chretien glanced at the butterbeer in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. It seemed that he also knew that this was what Brace had drunk, but he still kept the smile on his face and said to Brace, "Thank you very much. , you are so polite.”

"After all, you are a guest from afar, so we should show some kindness as landlords." Draco glanced at the large and small bags of goods, "Besides, you should express your gratitude for taking such good care of my Nydia. It should be us.”

"Nitya is my sister. Isn't it right for me to be nice to her?" Chretien said, "But you outsiders have been helping me take care of my sister. I really should express my gratitude to you." !”

"Outsiders?" Draco and Blaise said in unison, the word making them both feel uncomfortable.

The unhappy expressions on the two of them made Chretien feel very comfortable. He continued even more proudly, "Malfoy is now dating Nydia, which I think is good. They are girls! Date more when you are young. Having a partner is a good thing, it can be regarded as gaining experience. At this point, I think Mrs. Zabini must be very experienced, after all..."

"Chretien!" Nydia sternly stopped Chretien from continuing. When he spoke, Draco and Blaise's faces changed color, and Blaise had already reached out and held his wand.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Chretien also realized that what he had just said had gone too far. He looked at Blaise sincerely, "I apologize to you for my indiscretion."

"Huh!" Blaise turned his head to the side, unwilling to talk to Chretien.

"I'd better leave first!" Chretien stood up and looked at Nidia guiltily. "I'm sorry for ruining your vacation."

Nydia wanted to stay, but Chretien stopped her, then shook his head at her, turned around and walked out of the tavern. After Chretien left, the atmosphere suddenly became silent and awkward. The three of them sat around and didn't know what to say.

"I'm going back to school first! You guys can play slowly!" Blaise broke the deadlock and quickly walked out of the tavern without waiting for Nydia to persuade Draco to stay.

"Shouldn't I have brought everyone together in the first place!" Nidia was very annoyed. She knew clearly that the three of them couldn't get along at all, so why did she bring them together!

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Draco knew that Nidia hoped that he could get along well with Chretien, but Draco was also helpless. He always felt that Chretien was treating him badly. Full of hostility. "Actually...Brace and I weren't very polite to him just now."

Nydia lowered her head and remained silent. She knew the reason why Chrétien had been unfriendly to Draco. He was worried about her and wanted to protect herself, but Nydia could not do what he asked. Compared to being protected, Nydia could not do what he asked. , she hopes she can protect everyone around her.

"I will try my best not to conflict with him in the future." Seeing that Nydia remained silent, Draco comforted him. "Don't be unhappy anymore."

"This is not your problem, it's my failure to resolve the issue with Chretien," Nidia said. "Actually, he was just worried that I would be hurt and worried that I would make the same mistake as my mother."

"Nitya, you have to believe me, I will never..." Draco suddenly stopped talking and looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" Nydia curiously followed Draco's gaze and looked out the window. She saw a gray, blue and white kitten squatting on the stone pier directly opposite the window of the tavern, staring intently. Stare at them.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yiwan!" Draco asked with confusion.

"Yes, it is indeed Yiwan." Nidia nodded affirmatively.

"What does she mean? Monitoring your whereabouts?" Draco frowned, unable to understand Iwan's strange behavior.

"I think...she may have something to ask us for." If there was nothing wrong, Yiwan would not even leave the dormitory door, let alone run to Hogsmeade Village.

"Then are we going to follow her out?" Draco asked.

"Let's go take a look with her!" After Nidia said, she turned around and saw the piles of large and small bags of merchandise and began to worry. She forgot to take out the stretch bag today. Do she have to carry so many things everywhere? ? "What to do with these things?"

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

Draco called Goyle and Crabbe, who were chatting happily with friends at another table, and asked them to send their things back to school. After explaining everything, Draco and Nydia stood up and walked out of the tavern, then followed Iwan's footsteps.

In a corner of the tavern, Hermione's eyes followed Nydia and the others as they left. She put down the notebook in her hand and said to herself, "I feel like this Chretien is a little weird." ”

"What's wrong?" A small voice sounded next to Hermione, but the speaker could not be found.

"He was very kind to Nydia, but he was full of hostility towards Malfoy. Almost every time he and Malfoy met, he would deliberately sneer at him!" Hermione said.

"He is Nydia's cousin, so it's normal for him to be nice to Nydia! As for Malfoy... maybe it's because he's not lovable to begin with! Anyway, he's used to being sarcastic and sarcastic towards others. It's so hard to have someone It would be nice to let him have a taste of this!" The voice sounded again, but the person was still nowhere to be seen.

"If he really does it for Nydia's good, he should have seen that Nydia cares about Malfoy. The result of him targeting Malfoy like this will only make Nydia sad. I don't think he should Forget this." Hermione said thoughtfully, "Besides, he doesn't just like Malfoy, he also doesn't like you. He also wants you to stay away from Nydia."

"Me!" The voice sounded a little panicked, "Did I do something to offend him?"

"No..." Hermione shook her head, then looked at the empty side, "I said, Harry, are you really sure you want to hide under the Invisibility Cloak like this all the time? I really don't want you to be like this. Talking to you too much will make others think I'm a fool."

"This way you won't be pointed at by people wherever you go," said Harry, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak. "By the way, you haven't told me why Chrétien hates me!"

No matter how much Harry asked, Hermione had already made up her mind to ignore him unless he was willing to come out from under the invisibility cloak. Hermione looked at the notebook in her hand carefully, and occasionally added something on it, as if there was really no one around her.
