Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Several hours had passed, and only the last roll of parchment that Rita Skeeter had copied was left. The wound on the back of her hand was no longer healing. Blood was flowing out from the wound, and the parchment was stained. It's everywhere.

At first, she cursed from time to time in pain, but as she went on, she became more and more numb, especially now that there was only the last roll of parchment left, and she only wanted to finish writing quickly so that she could regain her freedom.

Nydia had already turned and walked out of the room when Rita Skeeter's wound began to bleed. She stopped in front of the window at the end of the corridor. She looked out of the window through the cracks in the boards nailed to the window. He looked at it, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to see that scene?" Draco, who followed out, asked Nitya softly. Her face didn't look good.

Nitya nodded and then shook her head, "She used my report to threaten you to provide her with information. I hated her so much, so I thought I would be very happy to see her punished like this. But in fact, it’s not that happy!” Nitya lowered her head, “Barty Crouch Jr. said that it would be more pleasant to take revenge with your own hands, but now I don’t feel the happiness he said at all. It feels like...even if I really hate her, I still think this method is a bit cruel!"

"Because you are not the same type of person as him, so of course you won't have the same feeling!" Draco reached out and touched Nitya's head.

"But I still can't let her stop, because once I soften my heart in front of her, everything I have done before will be in vain. If I can't be cruel, she will no longer have any fear of me, even if With Yiwan here, she will also feel that I will not really do anything to her, and will continue to make up all kinds of false news once I leave."

"So you left the room because you were worried that if you continued to watch, you would relent and stop punishing her?" Draco asked.

"Yes." Nydia looked at Draco, "Do you think I'm useless like this!"

Draco pulled Nydia into his arms, patted her back and said, "If you really stood there and watched her bleed out and write all the parchments, I might feel that I have never Only people like Umbridge would find it enjoyable to watch others suffer such punishment, but you are not such a person, so don't think it is useless."

Nydia leaned into Draco's arms. Draco's words made her feel a lot calmer. She felt that Draco seemed to always be able to give her infinite tolerance and understanding, soothing her uneasy emotions. As long as he is around, I seem to have the courage to face all difficulties.

The two of them returned to the room when they estimated that Rita Skeeter had almost finished writing, and Rita Skeeter had just finished writing the last paragraph. She didn't bother to look at the wounds on the back of her hands and put all the words into her hands. The parchment was stuffed into Nydia's hands, and then she said expectantly, "Now is the time to fulfill your promise."

Nidia pretended to look through all the parchments, and then said in a slow tone, "What I promised will be done. You are free now. Go out of this house and it will be Hogg." Mod Village, you can use Apparition to go anywhere you want, but...if I see your nonsense reports in any newspaper or magazine again, I will definitely take Yiwan to find you. It’s a good time to reminisce.”

"I...I won't let you have such a chance! I hope we never see each other again!" After saying that, Rita Skeeter couldn't wait to rush out of the door.

After the sound of Rita Skeeter's footsteps completely disappeared, Draco asked, "Will she tell you about your imprisonment of her?"

"Then let her tell people! Go tell others that she has been imprisoned by a fifth-grade student for nearly three months. Let's see who will be more embarrassed, me or her, after the news is released. If she expects to let everyone If you know she is an Animagus, just go ahead and tell her!" Nitya said nonchalantly.

"In that case, we should go back to school! It should be past lunch time by now, and we can only go to the kitchen to find some food," Draco said.

The two left the Screaming Shack, and Yiwan, who was woken up again, lay in Nitya's arms and kept making dissatisfied screams, but she did not return to her human form and no one could understand what she was saying. What, so Nydia and Draco completely ignored her yelling.

By the time Nydia returned to the Gryffindor common room, the sky had darkened. Nydia glanced around the entire lounge. There were not many people, and a few people she was familiar with were not among them. When her gaze When she swept past the fireplace, she seemed to see Sirius' head appearing in the flames, but when she looked carefully, there was nothing there. She rubbed her eyes. Could it be that she was hallucinating?

Nydia returned to the dormitory full of confusion. At this time, Hermione was the only one in the dormitory busy knitting a sweater for the house elf. She crawled onto Hermione's bed with a sad face.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione took a moment to glance at Nitya, "Why do you have such an expression?"

"I'm not sure if George and Fred's nosebleed nougat has any side effects!" Nidia said with some concern.

"What happened? Didn't Madam Pomfrey stop the nosebleed for you?" Hermione said without raising her head. Harry and Ron told Hermione everything that happened during yesterday's training.

"Yes! The nosebleed has stopped! But I found that I seemed to be hallucinating!" Nidia said worriedly. "I thought I saw Sirius's head in the fireplace just now... Do you think I should go find Madam Pomfrey again and ask her to check me again! I couldn't tell her the truth at the time. Maybe it affected her judgment.”

"Oh... you mean Sirius!" Hermione paused in her work and sighed helplessly, "That's not your imagination, that's indeed Sirius... He was with us by the fireplace last night We told him to keep a low profile!"

"It's really Sirius!" Although Hermione said this, Nydia still felt a little unbelievable, "But if he had already talked to you yesterday, why was he there again today? There are so many people in the lounge Man, he's probably going to be seen by someone else."

"Maybe he wants to chat with Harry or someone again! He would indeed be a little bored staying alone in that old house. Yesterday, he tried to persuade us to tell him the time we were going to Hogsmeade Village. He planned to He turned into Padfoot and came to meet us, but we refused! Maybe he wanted to try to persuade us to do it again, "Hermione said, "To be honest, he must learn to control himself. His reckless appearance on the platform caused a lot of trouble. Others have paid attention, and the newspaper has published that witnesses said they saw his whereabouts in London. Everyone is worried that he will be captured in Azkaban again, but he is the only one who doesn't seem to care. "

"Is he alone in the old mansion? Isn't he with Professor Lupine?" Nidia remembered that when he left last time, he said that he was going to find Lupin.

"Everyone has their own things to do, and they can't stay there forever, but Sirius's situation is different. So far, he is still a fugitive, so he can't go on any missions or leave the old house. If he's caught, he'll get everyone into trouble." Hermione started knitting her sweater again.

"He can't go out without any tasks... He may not be able to say a word all day when others are busy... Such days are indeed quite difficult." Nidia understood Sirius's feelings very well, because she was here Hogwarts used to live like this! She began to feel sympathy for Sirius in her heart. "So he just showed up in the fireplace just to see if he could find someone to chat with, right?"

"I think so." Hermione suddenly raised her head and looked at Nydia with a warning look, "You must not respond to him. Although this method of contact is indeed safer than using an owl, it is also dangerous. , what to do if someone discovers it, this should be used only in emergencies, not for casual chatting. "
