Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Draco searched outside the school castle for a long time. He searched all the places he could think of. He even went to find Chretien, but in the end, in addition to letting Chretien join him, Draco The team searched everywhere but did not get any new clues. The last time everyone saw Nydia was during the History of Magic exam, but no one knows where she went after the exam. Did she really go to Hogsmeade at this time? ?

Draco walked in the direction of the Whomping Willow. That passage was the only passage leading to Hogsmeade that he knew the location of, although he knew that there was a closer passage in the school. But he never knew the specific location of that passage, and he couldn't ask Porter at this time, because he should already be in the third competition.

While passing by Hagrid's hut, Draco noticed a big dog walking back and forth in Hagrid's pumpkin patch. He originally thought it was Hagrid's pet Fang, but when he got closer, he realized that it was actually Hagrid's pet Fang. It was Sirius. The two were stunned when they discovered each other's presence. After a brief moment of sizing each other up, Draco continued to walk towards the Whomping Willow.

He had already learned the news from Nydia that Sirius was back, but he didn't expect that Sirius would be brave enough to enter the school at this time, but what does this have to do with him! If he was caught again, Sirius would be asking for it. Finding Nydia is his most important thing now. Draco didn't want to pay attention to Sirius, but when he passed by Sirius, he still stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Sirius and asked, "Have you seen Nydia today? "

After finishing speaking, Draco immediately looked around to make sure that no one saw him talking to a dog, because it looked really stupid. However, his worries were unnecessary, because now everyone in the school had already Gathered at the competition site for the third event.

Originally, Draco didn't have much hope for Sirius. He had asked many people this question today, but failed to get anything out of it. But what he didn't expect was that Sirius actually nodded to him.

"Have you seen Nydia!" Because he was too surprised, Draco walked quickly to Sirius unconsciously.

Sirius was frightened by Draco's sudden approach and took two steps back. He didn't understand why Draco was so excited about seeing Nydia.

"Nydia is gone, I can't find her!" Draco explained to Sirius.

Sirius thought for a moment after listening to Draco's words. Then he turned and walked towards the woods behind him. Draco immediately followed him. After their figures disappeared into the shadows of the woods, Sirius transformed back into his human form. .

"When did you see her?" Draco asked impatiently as soon as Sirius changed back.

"In the morning, in Hagrid's house, she said she had just finished her exam." Sirius asked doubtfully, "What happened? What do you mean she disappeared?"

"I haven't seen her all day today, and she didn't even go to the restaurant during lunch time. I asked everyone, and the last time everyone saw her was during the History of Magic exam. Now you are the only one after the exam. "I saw her." Draco said eagerly, "Do you know where she went after meeting you?"

"She...was called away by Mad-Eye Moody...if I heard correctly, she should have gone to his office." Sirius said thoughtfully.

"Moody! Damn it...Snape warned her to stay away from Moody!" Draco said worriedly. Did Moody discover something?

"What's going on? What's wrong with Moody? Nydia also said something about doubting Moody before." Sirius became alert. Is there really something wrong with Moody?

"Doubt Moody? What does she doubt about Moody?" Why does Nydia doubt Moody? Draco asked confused.

Sirius looked at Draco in surprise. He realized that the two of them were not worried about the same thing. "I think she meant that she suspected that Moody was the one who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire!"

"Moody! How could it be! Isn't he a former Auror?" Draco said in surprise.

"Yes! I told Nidia the same thing, but Nidia thought he was a little strange. The reason was that she thought Moody was too good to her. To be honest, I didn't quite understand the basis for her judgment, but... …”

"Wait! What did you say?" Draco interrupted Sirius, "Nydia said Moody was too nice to her?"

"Yes, that's what she said... What's so strange about this?" Sirius was confused. When did being too nice to someone become a cause for suspicion?

Draco did not answer Sirius's words. He began to keep thinking about the contact between Nydia and Moody. He remembered that when Moody turned him into a ferret, he was very arrogant and proud, but when Nydia After coming, he immediately restrained himself, and after Nitya attacked him, he not only did not fight back, he did not even say a word of blame... This behavior was indeed strange.

"Hey! What's going on?" Seeing that Draco had been in a daze, Sirius asked again.

"You're here for Potter, right?" Draco suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Sirius.

"Of course!" Sirius replied.

"Then maybe you should tell Moody to stay away from him!" After saying that, Draco turned around and ran towards the castle.

"What? Hey! Can't you speak more clearly before leaving?" Sirius stood there confused and watched Draco running further and further away.

Before arriving at Moody's office, Draco opened the door with an unlocking spell. He walked in and looked around the room. There were all kinds of strange instruments placed everywhere, and things were very messy. , but there was no one in the room, not even a cabinet larger enough to accommodate people. When he began to think that Moody might not have brought Nidia here, he placed it on Moody's desk. A piece of parchment caught Draco's attention.

He picked up the parchment and looked at it carefully. Isn't this the Marauder's Map? Why here?

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong."

Draco clicked on the map with his wand. Regardless of the reason why this map was here, he could use this map to find Nydia.

After a while, the entire outline of Hogwarts appeared on the map, and Draco lowered his head to search carefully.

"How is this possible!" Draco looked around the entire room again in surprise. The map showed that Nydia was in this room, and not only Nydia was in this room, but Moody was also here.

Draco nervously held the wand in front of his chest and slowly approached the location of Nydia shown on the map, but there was nothing else in that direction except a box, and the box was not large enough to accommodate it. Alone, not to mention that the map shows that Nitya and Moody are both at this location.

Just as Draco approached the box, the box suddenly began to shake violently. The shaking continued for a while and then stopped, but not long after, it started shaking again.

"Nitya! Is that you?" Draco walked to the box excitedly. Is there an extended space inside? "Damn, can you hear me?"

Apart from shaking, the box didn't give Draco any other response. He looked at the box carefully. This box actually had seven keyholes! I don’t know if there are just seven locks or seven overlapping spaces?

"Open the Alaho hole!"

Draco chanted the Unlocking Spell on the box, but it did not produce any effect. Such a complicated lock cannot be opened with a simple Unlocking Spell. What should we do? From the map, it seems that Moody is also locked up inside. It seems that his suspicion of Moody just now must be wrong. But in this case, who did all this?
