Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

On the second day of the Christmas party, everyone got up very late. Nydia and Draco sneaked back to their respective colleges while everyone was still up.

Nitya gently pushed the bedroom door open and closed it again. Although she had tried very hard to slow down her movements, there was still a small 'bang' sound when the door closed. Fortunately, Everyone was sleeping deeply, so no one was woken up, but this sound woke up a kitten who was usually very sleepy.

Yiwan raised her head and looked at Nitya closely with a meaningful look, which made her feel guilty, as if she had been caught doing something bad. She deliberately turned her head to the side to avoid Yi Wan's gaze, and then quietly walked to her bed. After changing her nightgown, she immediately got into the quilt. Not long after he lay down, a deep sleepiness swept over him. Come.

In the trance of being half asleep and half awake, Nidia felt something getting into her quilt. At first she thought it was Yiwan, but after reaching out and touching it, she suddenly realized that it was actually a person. Nidia instantly The sleepiness faded away and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"What are you doing lying on my bed?" Nitya looked at Michelle who appeared next to her in surprise.

Michelle looked at Nitya seriously, and then said, "You didn't come back all night."

"No one night, I... I just came back late. You were all asleep when I came back, so you didn't notice..." Nidia tried to cover her whereabouts.

"No, you just didn't come back all night, because I waited for you all night, and I didn't sleep until daybreak." Michelle said.

"Well, I did come back not long ago." Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Nidia had no choice but to tell the truth, "What are you waiting for me for?"

"Did you spend the whole night with Draco?" Michelle completely ignored Nydia's question and continued to ask herself.

"We just came back in the morning to watch the sunrise together." Nitya quickly explained.

"Oh." Michelle said simply and stopped asking any more questions.

Nitya felt strange. It stands to reason that after Michelle knew that she had not returned home all night, no matter what explanation she gave her, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make fun of herself. But why is she reacting like this now? How could it be so bland?

"What's wrong with you?" Nitya actually felt very sleepy at this time, but Michelle's abnormal behavior still made her ask energetically.

"Well...I...just...oh! How should I say...I..." Michelle hesitated for a long time, and finally buried her whole face into the pillow, using The voice was almost inaudible and said, "Brace and I kissed..."

"You and Brace..." Nidia didn't seem too surprised to find such a situation. "Then should I congratulate you?"

"Congratulations! I'm completely messed up now." Michelle scratched her hair in frustration.

"Stop thinking so much, have a good sleep and then think about this again..."

After knowing that nothing happened to Michelle, Nidia's sleepiness came over again. Although she could vaguely hear what Michelle was still saying, she could no longer resist it. It caught her sleepiness, and it didn't take long for Nitya to fall asleep completely.

After the excitement of the Christmas ball was completely over, everyone's focus shifted back to their studies. The rest of the Christmas vacation was almost spent doing homework.

Originally, Nitya thought that Michelle and Brace would be officially together after the Christmas ball, but in fact this was not the case. The two of them just made an agreement and never mentioned the kiss at the Christmas ball. Nitya asked Michelle privately several times, but Michelle deliberately avoided the question.

Nydia couldn't figure out what was going on between the two of them, but Draco advised her not to interfere too much. He said that Blaise had his own plans in mind.

On the first day of school after the holidays, Draco was constantly unhappy about having to go to Care of Magical Creatures outdoors in such snowy weather. He complained about the bad weather and that the snow would make his shoes wet. , complaining that he had to see that damn blast-ended skrewt that disgusted him again, Nydia just listened and said nothing, because she knew that no matter how Draco complained, he would eventually continue to go to class, Nydia Tia bets that Draco has always been hoping that Hagrid can bring them some new magical animals. She once heard Draco inadvertently mention that the Hippogriff has a body. The winged beast actually looks pretty cool.

However, what surprised everyone was that the person standing in front of Hagrid's hut waiting for their arrival was not Hagrid, but an elderly witch. Sorry, maybe the word 'everyone' is not completely appropriate, because Draco found in the crowd that Pansy did not show any surprise at the appearance of this witch, but instead smiled proudly.

"I am Professor Graplan, a temporary substitute teacher for your Care of Magical Creatures class." The older witch introduced herself to everyone.

"Why do we need a substitute teacher? Where's Hagrid?" Harry asked loudly, which was also the question on most people's minds.

"He's not feeling well." Professor Graplan replied simply, then turned around and led everyone towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest, "Please follow me this way."

"What happened to Hagrid?"

Harry still chased after Professor Grapeland and asked, but Professor Grapeland was not willing to answer his questions, thinking that he was a little nosy.

Nydia was also very concerned about Hagrid's situation, so she listened carefully to the conversation between Harry and Professor Graplan, hoping to learn more about Hagrid's specific situation.

"Hey! I guess some of you haven't read today's Daily Prophet!" Pansy suddenly came over and said to Nitya mysteriously.

Nitya couldn't help but roll her eyes. She really didn't want to pay too much attention to Pansy's behavior of showing off every time she knew something, and usually, Pansy would Xi doesn't need others to respond, and she will still say everything she wants to say.

As expected, Pansy didn't wait for anyone else to say anything. She had already taken out a prepared newspaper from her bag and stuffed it into Nitya's hand.

"Take a good look!" After saying that, Pansy retired and walked away.

"What was written?" Michelle curiously took the newspaper and unfolded it. Hermione and others also gathered around. Next to a report in the newspaper was a photo of Hagrid. In the photo His expression was furtive.

"Damn it! How did she know that?" Ron said in surprise after reading what was in the newspaper. "Harry, you'd better come over and take a look at this."

Harry turned back after hearing this. He picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious.

This is another report by Rita Skeeter. In the article, she criticized Dumbledore's negligence in selecting teachers, and at the same time revealed Hagrid's secret cultivation of blast-ended skrewts, as well as another surprising and... It's hard to accept that Hagrid is actually a hybrid giant.

"This is not true, is it! She always likes to report false news." Michelle said, she looked up at Harry and Ron, who obviously knew something.

"So what if Hagrid is a hybrid giant? He is still the Hagrid we know!" Harry looked a little unhappy at Michelle's question.

"Don't get me wrong Harry, I don't care about Hagrid's bloodline. I'm just worried about what Hagrid will do if these are true. Everyone knows that he has giant bloodline, so he can still continue to protect magic. The teacher of the animal class? Think about Lupin!" Michelle said worriedly.

"How on earth did that annoying woman find out this news? It couldn't be that Hagrid accidentally let it slip during his last interview!" Hermione said.

"No, Hagrid has been hiding this from us. He really cares about this." Harry said, "Ron and I accidentally heard about him and Ms. Maxim at the Yule Ball last time. I only found out through the conversation.”

"Hey! Malfoy, it's you! You're the one who told Rita Skeeter about Hagrid!" Ron suddenly said angrily to Draco, "It also mentioned that you were raped by the Hippogriff. "The winged beast attack."

"What a good idea. If I knew about this, I would have let the news out a long time ago, so that I wouldn't have to endure those damn snails for so long." Draco said angrily.

"Ron, Draco, like me, just learned the news." Nidia said, "Besides, it's not a secret that Draco was attacked by the Hippogriff. There are so many people.”

Ron pursed his lips in displeasure and stopped talking. At this time, the students who were walking further ahead let out a burst of surprise and praise. Nidia and the others looked forward and saw the students at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. There was actually a beautiful big unicorn tied under a tree.

This unicorn was so white that the surrounding white snow seemed a bit gray against it. It attracted everyone's attention in just a moment.

"It's so beautiful." Nitya couldn't help but admire.

Draco frowned and said nothing when he saw the unicorn. Others who had the same reaction as him were Harry. They all seemed to have some resistance to unicorns. Nydia was a little uncomfortable at first. I understood why they reacted like this. This unicorn was obviously so beautiful. It wasn't until Hermione reminded her in a low voice that Nydia remembered that the four of them had entered the Forbidden Forest to investigate the unicorn in the first grade. The reason why the horned beast died, and Draco and Harry had witnessed the scene of Voldemort sucking the blood of the unicorn with their own eyes. The appearance of the unicorn in front of them should have awakened their memories of that time!

Professor Grapeland asked all girls to come forward, but did not allow boys to come forward, because unicorns would prefer women's touch. Draco was very satisfied with this arrangement, although he did not hate unicorns as much as he hated squids. , but that not-so-good memory still made Draco not want to have too much contact with unicorns.

Nydia followed the other girls and walked forward, looking at the unicorn's face while listening to Professor Graplan's knowledge of unicorns. Just when the class was about to end, Pansy quietly walked up to Nitya again and whispered to her.

"First Potter, then Hagrid, and even Chipmunk Granger has been in the newspaper. Don't you feel a little envious in your heart!"

"I really can't find anything to envy in this." Nydia looked at Pansy disdainfully, "But if you want to be published in the newspaper, I can introduce you to Rita Skeeter. Maybe she can find some reportable value in you."

"Haha, I'm not interested in this." Pansy smiled proudly, "But it won't be long before you can be like them."

"What do you mean?" Nitya asked.

"Be patient, it'll be quick," Pansy said.

Just at this moment, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Pansy quickly walked towards the castle, not giving Nydia a chance to ask her any more questions.

"What did she whisper to you again?" Draco walked up to Nydia and asked.

"I'm not quite sure what she meant, maybe she just wanted to arouse other people's ideas!" Nidia shook her head and didn't take Pansy's words to heart.

Entering the castle, Nydia wanted to go back to the Gryffindor common room, so they separated in the front hall of the castle. After watching Nydia disappear at the top of the stairs, Draco also turned towards the basement. He walked in the direction, and just after taking a few steps, Daphne suddenly stopped him. Judging from her hesitant expression, it seemed that there was something embarrassing that she wanted to tell Draco.
