Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

In the early morning, when the sky had just turned a little white, Hermione quietly walked to Nydia's bedside and gently shook Nydia's shoulders.

"Wake up! Nydia!"

Nydia opened her eyes hazily and looked at Hermione standing beside her bed in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Harry and I are going to send a letter to Sirius. Do you want to come with us?" Hermione asked softly.

Nydia turned to look at the foggy sky outside the window, then turned back to Hermione and said, "No... I want to sleep for a while longer."

"Okay! Then you can continue to sleep!" Hermione reached out to cover Nidia's exposed arms under the quilt, her eyes fell on her exposed neck, "Nidia, your neck …”

"Oh..." Nydia, who was about to fall asleep again, was awakened by Hermione's words and immediately reached out to cover her neck, "This is..."

"I know what this is." Hermione said slightly shyly, "You'd better find a way to cover it up..."

"I will." Nidia's cheeks turned slightly red.

Hermione nodded, then turned and left the dormitory. Nidia was no longer sleepy. She sat up and took the mirror from the cabinet on the side. She looked at the red marks on her neck in the mirror. Nidia Ya couldn't help but sigh. Draco said this was punishment for her always being absent-minded, but it had been a night and there was no sign of fading away. It seemed that she needed to do something to cover it up.

During breakfast time, Nitya came to the restaurant. She would pull her collar from time to time because she was worried that the marks on her neck would be seen by others. At this time, she would especially wish that it was still winter, because then she would It’s natural to wear a thick scarf around your neck.

The three Harrys also came to the restaurant after delivering the letter to Sirius, and they talked about Crouch's disappearance again. They were worried about Crouch's statement that Voldemort had become stronger, and were suspicious of Snape's behavior in blocking Harry. Finally, they decided to go to Moody after the History of Magic class in the morning to ask about the progress of the matter.

Nydia refused to go with her. She didn't like to have too much contact with Moody because Moody always gave her a strange illusion. The main reason was that she could feel Draco's dissatisfaction throughout the conversation. Joyful gaze.

"What are you talking about?" As expected, Draco followed Nydia as soon as she walked out of the restaurant.

"Have you just finished eating? I saw that you almost didn't eat anything." Nidia asked with concern.

"That's enough." Draco replied, "Don't evade my question. I saw you and Potter getting together and muttering something together again. Tell me! Are you planning to violate any school rules again this time? Discussing how to help Porter win the third project."

"No, it was something that happened last night." Nidia pulled Draco to a corner and told him about Crouch in detail.

"Crouch is at school?" Draco was surprised. "It sounds like he has been kidnapped before."

"Yes! But Percy said that he has always received letters from Crouch. If he was kidnapped, how could he write to Percy to arrange work!" Nidia said.

"Forget it! Crouch is an official of the Ministry of Magic. If something like this happens, the Ministry of Magic will definitely investigate, so you don't have to worry about it," Draco said.

"I'm just a little confused. I don't know why. Although Sirius said that he saw Crouch's son being buried with his own eyes, I still feel that his son is not dead... Crouch mentioned his son yesterday. If his son is dead, why would he mention him?" Nitya said.

"He was delirious, wasn't he! Maybe he just forgot that his son was gone!" Draco.

"Okay! Maybe I'm just too worried." Nidia nodded, "I think I should go to class."

Draco touched Nydia's head, and his eyes fell on her neck which was tightly covered by her. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Nydia noticed Draco's gaze and glared at him angrily. Then he turned around and left quickly.

Moody did not provide any effective progress. He claimed that nothing could be found on the Marauder's Map, and Sirius's reply gave Harry a severe lesson, thinking that he should not be here. He rashly walked out of the school castle with a student from another school. Although Nydia felt that what he said seemed a bit fussy, she could understand Sirius's anxious mood. He was obviously near the school, but he couldn't protect him. To Harry's side.

The mysterious disappearance of Crouch was forced to be put aside, and Hermione and Ron were busy helping Harry prepare for the third project. They needed a venue to help Harry practice, which might happen in the third project. project, so they thought of the abandoned classroom that Nydia often went to. In this way, Nydia had to move all her potion-making tools to the corner to prevent Ron from accidentally knocking over all her potions when he was knocked away by Harry.

"Okay, you've almost mastered the Stunning Curse and Obstacle Curse. You've already mastered the Disarming Curse. Maybe we can practice some more curses." Hermione said to Harry, then she turned her head and looked at Nydia, who was concentrating on brewing the potion, said, "Do you have any suggestions? I think Harry should practice a few jinxes as attacks, so the effect will be better."

Nydia raised her eyebrows and looked at Hermione, "Why are you asking me about jinxes? Do you think I know how to use jinxes?"

"No, no! Of course that's not what I meant!" Hermione said in a panic, "I just..."

"Hermione just thinks you'll get more spells, so I want to hear your opinion!" Harry quickly explained, "There's really no other meaning, don't think too much about it."

Nidia looked at the two panicked people suspiciously. She was just joking, but she didn't expect them to be so eager to explain.

"Okay! Let me think about it." Nidia thought for a moment, "Maybe you can use the Fire Roasting Curse and the Pimple Curse. These can cause a certain attack effect, but will not cause the opponent to be too seriously injured. "

"This is not possible. Harry needs some more powerful spells," Ron said dissatisfied. "Others will not be as merciful as he is when dealing with Harry."

"Not cruel enough?" Nitya said jokingly, "Does it mean that I need to use the Unforgivable Curse to be cruel enough?"

"Is that okay?" Ron asked with his eyes widened.

"What are you thinking about! How could Harry use the Unforgivable Curse on other contestants!" Hermione exclaimed.

"But who can guarantee that others won't use it! Don't forget that Durmstrang can teach students black magic." Ron said.

"Krum would not use the Unforgivable Curse on Harry! This is not allowed by the Ministry of Magic." Hermione replied unhappily.

"Okay! Stop arguing." Nydia interrupted the quarrel between Hermione and Ron. "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to take the use of the Unforgivable Curse so seriously. The key depends on who the spell is used on. , when the opponent wants to kill you, you can't be timid and worry that your spell will hurt the opponent too much! Even if it is the Killing Curse, if it is used on Voldemort, I think many people will. Applaud without worrying about whether it is legal to use the Unforgivable Curse."

"Right, that is it."

Ron clapped his hands in agreement, but Harry and Hermione looked at each other in confusion after hearing Nydia's words, with complicated expressions and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Nydia looked at Harry and Hermione in confusion, "In fact, I have practiced the Imperius Curse secretly."

"You practiced the Imperius Curse!" Hermione exclaimed again. "But this is illegal."

"Don't worry, I didn't use it on anyone. Moody used it on all of us in class. I thought it was interesting so I practiced it secretly." Nidia said nonchalantly, "You will find that actually This spell can also be very gentle. There is no good or bad spell. The key lies in the person who casts the spell. You can just ask your enemy to walk away obediently and not to hinder you. "

"So you succeeded?" Harry said in surprise, "You mastered the Imperius Curse?"

"No! This is not that simple. It is very complicated. Now I can only control some insects or birds. The larger ones are not so obedient. They are smarter and the thinking in their brains is also different. It’s more complicated and difficult to operate.” Nidia shook her head regretfully.

"This... is already very powerful, without anyone's teaching..." Hermione didn't know how to evaluate the right and wrong when Nydia secretly practiced the Imperius Curse, "But I still think you shouldn't To practice such a spell... at least you shouldn't do it now... because... it is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic, and it may get you imprisoned in Azkaban..."

Nydia nodded, knowing that Hermione was always cautious in doing things, "I will pay more attention."

At this time, the class bell rang.

"Oops, we're late. The divination class is in the north building!"

Harry cursed under his breath, then he and Ron quickly grabbed their schoolbags and ran out. Nydia and Hermione followed closely behind and left the classroom, because they also had to rush to the ancient runes class.
