Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Nydia could feel Draco's absent-mindedness. Although he was sitting next to her, he kept peeking at Harry and the others' practice, and from time to time he would give some silent comments on their practice. (rolling eyes or something), Draco wanted to cover it up, but Nydia didn't expose it and continued to do her own thing as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Can we kidnap Mrs. Doris and come over..." Ron, who was knocked away by Harry again, climbed up from the ground with difficulty. He rubbed his butt that had just hit the ground with his hands, "I really don't I'm complaining, I just...just feel pain all over my body..."

"You should hit those cushions when you fall, so you won't be in so much pain!" Hermione pointed to the soft cushions they stacked behind her.

"I hope so too, but it's hard to aim after being knocked unconscious!" Ron complained.

"Pfft!"

Draco finally couldn't help laughing, and his laughter made everyone look at him.

"What's worth laughing about?" Ron looked at Draco unhappily, "Do you think our practice is ridiculous?"

Draco looked at Nydia beside him. After confirming that Nydia didn't seem to want to stop or blame him, he cleared his throat and said in a very arrogant tone, "This is indeed quite ridiculous. Yes, didn’t you notice?”

"Then could you please explain what's so ridiculous about our exercise?" Hermione said rudely, crossing her hands on her chest. For Nydia's sake, she refrained from telling Malfoy to get out.

"Do you think that during the official competition, other warriors will stand here like you and let Potter attack without dodging?" Draco mocked.

"Oh... we're just..." Hermione stopped mid-sentence.

"We're just helping Harry master his spells!" Ron said following Hermione's words.

"Wait, Ron... I think..." Hermione looked at Malfoy with some embarrassment, then looked at Harry and Ron and continued, "I think he... is right, we are practicing like this The effect won't be too great, Harry has mastered these spells now, what he needs more now is practice."

"So you mean we should practice sparring with Harry now?" Ron looked at Hermione in surprise, "But... I'm not very proficient in some spells..."

Nydia, who had been silent, looked up at Ron, who looked embarrassed, and then looked at Draco, who looked expectant. She suddenly said loudly, "Draco, you don't mean to talk to Harry when you say that." Let's spar! That won't work, because if you two spar, it will definitely turn into a duel, and I don't want you to get hurt."

"What? Injured!" Draco looked at Nydia in surprise, "Do you think I am no match for Potter?"

"No...that's not what I meant...it's just a duel! It's inevitable that you'll get hurt..." Although Nidia said that she didn't mean that, her hesitating expression showed ' Yes, that's what I mean'.

"Harry has mastered many spells now. Malfoy, you are no match for Harry." Ron proudly challenged Malfoy.

"That's right! You think so!" Draco was so excited by Ron's words that he stood up, "Then let's give it a try! Potter! I'll spar... with you."

Harry looked at Nydia with some embarrassment. Nydia smiled and nodded to Harry, indicating that he would accept Draco's training.

"Okay! We are just sparring, not a duel, let's call it a day, okay!" Harry said, "I don't want anyone to get hurt or anything."

"You'd better make sure you won't get hurt first!" Draco took off his coat, lifted up the sleeves of both arms, and walked towards Harry with his wand.

"Hermione, can you come over and help me take a look at this potion?" Nydia said to Hermione. Since Draco was already sparring with Harry, Hermione didn't need to stay by her side.

Hermione walked up to Nydia and looked at the two people who were sparring worriedly, "You did it on purpose! You deliberately provoked Malfoy to sparring with Harry."

Nydia smiled, pulled Hermione to sit next to her and whispered, "Draco has always been very sorry about Rita Skeeter's incident, but hey! You know, let our It's really hard for Master Malfoy to say sorry to anyone, so I thought maybe letting him help Harry practice the spell would make him feel better."

"What a weird guy." Hermione sighed, "But can you really rest assured that they are like this? They won't really fight!"

"I believe Draco!" Nydia smiled. Draco was now eager to do something to relieve his guilt about Harry, so he would never really do anything to Harry. Hand, "Don't worry about them, come and help me take a look at this potion! I'm not sure if it has been successful."

"Are you kidding! You actually want to ask me about the potion?" Hermione looked at Nidia in surprise. She originally thought that Nidia letting her see the potion was just an excuse to come over, "This Is it...polyjuice potion?"

"Yeah! Polyjuice Potion, but I don't really want to become anyone, so I'm not sure if it's really successful," Nidia shrugged and said, "You've brewed it, so I want you to do it. have a look."

Hermione picked up the medicine spoon and stirred it in the crucible. The smell of the stirred medicine came out. Nydia frowned. The smell was really getting more and more similar. It could even be said that it was the same smell she had smelled at Moody's before. The taste is the same. Did you make a mistake? Why did Moody drink Polyjuice Potion? No, if he drank Polyjuice Potion, it means he is not Moody! Is that why he takes a sip every once in a while? Because Polyjuice Potion only lasts for one hour!

"No problem, you succeeded." Hermione's words interrupted Nydia's thoughts. "This reminds me of the possibility that Rita Skeeter used Polyjuice Potion to sneak into the school again."

"Rita Skeeter? Why do you say that?" Nydia looked at Hermione in confusion.

"Take a look at this!" Hermione handed a copy of the Daily Prophet to Nydia, "Rita Skeeter's latest report, about Harry."

Nydia sighed and took the newspaper, "Is this the report Draco created?"

"Yes, not quite." Hermione said, "Let's take a look first!"

Rita Skeeter's report revealed Harry's identity as a parselmouth and pointed out that he once ordered a snake to attack another classmate. He also said that Harry often suffered from illnesses and said that the scar on his forehead hurt. Attracting public attention, the report portrayed Harry as a troubled teenager.

"She just wants to attract people's attention like this, a different Harry Potter!" Nydia threw the newspaper aside angrily.

"We all know this, but that's not the key, Nydia, didn't you notice!" Hermione picked up the report again, "The information about Parseltongue should have been told by Malfoy to Rita Skeeter. But what about Harry's painful scar? It just happened a few days ago."

"Draco is no longer in contact with Rita Skeeter, so this cannot be what he said." Nydia thought Hermione suspected that Draco was providing information to Rita Skeeter again. , "And he told me, he only told Rita Skeeter about Harry's Parseltongue and provided her with a Gryffindor schedule."

"I know it's not Malfoy, so I'm surprised! What's the use of her wanting our curriculum? Dumbledore doesn't allow her to enter the school at all." Hermione said, "That's why I guessed when I saw the potion just now. Did she use Polyjuice Potion to mix it among us?"

"Polyjuice Potion? But this seems very troublesome. She has to get the hair of someone next to us, and she also has to make sure that she will not appear at the scene when she transforms. The most difficult thing is that the Polyjuice Potion only lasts for an hour. It's too difficult to control the time." Nidia denied Hermione's conjecture, "But didn't you say that you two were the only ones when Krum said those words to you? Krum?"

"Yes! This is indeed unreasonable...but how on earth did she do it!" Hermione said angrily.
