Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"Draco, how long have you been here?" Nydia asked Draco after Harry left.

"I've been here since you said 'the luckiest thing'!" Draco smiled and looked at Nydia, his eyes full of joy.

Nydia blushed for a while, always feeling embarrassed that Draco heard her say such things, "So... you have been eavesdropping on my conversation with Harry, right?"

"Um... I just think it's inappropriate for me to interrupt you while you're talking all of a sudden!" Draco, who had been full of joy just now, suddenly became embarrassed.

"Actually, you just wanted to eavesdrop on what I would say in response to Harry's words!" Nitya said angrily. It's not appropriate to interrupt someone by appearing suddenly. Didn't you appear suddenly in the end?

"I..." Draco hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell the reason. He originally wanted to walk out directly, but after hearing Potter's question, he couldn't help but want to know the answer. In fact, he had also thought about Porter's question many times in his mind. If Porter was the one who said it first, would Nydia still choose him?

"Draco Malfoy, have you never listened to me carefully? Have I told you so many times that I only regard Harry as a friend? Have you forgotten? You have always been the only person I like. This It has nothing to do with who said it first and who said it last, why don't you always believe what I say!" Nidia sighed, such words were too hurtful, so she couldn't tell Harry directly, she could only persuade him not to be obsessed with the past. Things that cannot be changed.

"It's not that I don't believe you, I just..." But even if I know the answer, I still want to hear it from you! His thoughts were completely seen through by Nydia, and Draco felt embarrassed.

"Forget it, it's okay if you didn't come out." Nidia said, "I just took this opportunity to make things clear to Harry!"

Draco pulled Nydia into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Then don't blame me for eavesdropping, okay?"

"Then are you no longer angry with me?" Nitya asked.

"Idiot, I already told you that I'm not angry with you. I'm just... very worried. I'm worried that you will do those dangerous things, and I'm worried that if I keep stopping you like this, you will become unhappy." This was what Draco had been thinking about on the way back from Hogsmeade.

"But I'm not unhappy!" Nydia raised her head and looked at Draco, "I really shouldn't let Sirius always appear in the Gryffindor common room. It's too risky. Hermione has done it before. She warned me, but it's a pity that I didn't listen to her... And today, if he is found in Hogsmeade, I will really be a sinner!"

"So... what about that Defense Against the Dark Arts after-school group? Do you really not want to join?" Draco asked.

"To be honest, I actually wanted to participate... It would be a lot of fun to practice magic with everyone, but I know I shouldn't go. If Umbridge finds out, I might give it to my father. I don’t want him to be the one who brings trouble,” Nitya said.

"It's great that you think so!" Draco breathed a sigh of relief. He had previously been worried about how he would help Nydia hide Um if she still chose to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts after-school group. Richie, now it seems that my worries are unnecessary.

When Hermione and Ron returned to the common room from the prefects' meeting in the evening, Nydia told them her decision not to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts after-school group. Ron complained a little, and Hermione felt very embarrassed. Unfortunately, only Harry didn't show much surprise.

"When you told me that Malfoy would not attend, I roughly guessed that this would be the result!" Harry said calmly, but there was still a little disappointment in his eyes.

"Did you invite Draco because you thought that if he didn't participate, I wouldn't participate as well?" Nydia asked curiously.

"That's part of the reason, but the main thing is that I really hope you two can come. When you helped me practice spells last semester, I felt that your spells were pretty good. If you were here, I would I'll feel more at ease," Harry said. He still clearly remembered the scene when Malfoy helped him practice the summoning spell.

"I think you don't need to worry so much at all. You can become a very good teacher, and Hermione is here! She knows a lot of spells!" Nidia said.

"Me!" Hermione was a little embarrassed when she was suddenly mentioned, "I was just able to use these spells without any interference. I dare say that during the real duel, I will be so panicked that I will forget them all."

"Don't worry, I'm still here!" Ron patted Hermione on the shoulder, as if telling her that he would protect her.

A blush appeared on Hermione's face. She quickly turned her head to the side and stuttered, "You...you should take care of yourself first! Idiot!"

What surprised Nydia the most was Michelle. After she decided not to participate, Brace also persuaded Michelle, but she still decided to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts team. Nitya couldn't understand that Michelle, who usually couldn't concentrate on practicing spells in class, would be so active in joining the after-school practice team. Brace said that maybe she just wanted to express her love for her in this way. It's just Umbridge's dissatisfaction!

At the end of the weekend, on Monday morning, before Nitya and the others could even leave the dormitory, they heard a shrill whistle coming from outside the door.

"Oh! It seems that a bold boy wants to break into the girls' dormitory!" Lavender said excitedly. She couldn't wait to leave the dormitory to see which bold person triggered the warning.

"Let's go take a look too!" Michelle was also curious, and she urged Nitya and Hermione to go out quickly to prevent the person who wanted to break in from leaving.

When they walked out of the dormitory, the stairs leading to the common room had turned into a smooth stone slide, so they slid down the slide to the common room effortlessly. The people who appeared in front of them turned out to be Harry and Ron, and they both fell to the ground.

Lavender, who was the first to step forward, stepped forward and helped Ron up. Harry on the side climbed up on his own. Lavender asked them with a smile, "Do you want to go upstairs?"

"Yeah!" Ron stood up and straightened his messy clothes, "I didn't expect this. It's not fair. Hermione can enter our dormitory, why can't we go find her!"

"Hermione!" Lavender was a little surprised, and she turned her head to Hermione who had just come off the slide.

"This is an old-fashioned rule," Hermione explained to Ron. "The founders of the school believed that boys were not as reliable as girls. This was mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History"."

"What are you two going to do? Run to the girls' dormitory early in the morning." Nitya asked.

"Hurry up and take a look at that!" Harry pointed at the bulletin board, and then led them to the front of the bulletin board.

A large notice appeared on the bulletin board, covering up the other notices originally posted on it.

The announcement was issued by Umbridge. In the announcement, she requested that all student organizations, associations, teams or clubs with more than three people in the school be disbanded immediately. If they need to be reorganized, they need to apply to Senior Investigator Umbridge. All violations Those who do so will be immediately expelled from the school.

Nitya and others looked solemn after reading this. The party they just held on Saturday immediately posted notices disbanding all organizations. Could this be a coincidence?

"Someone must have snitched on him!" Ron said angrily.

"Impossible!" Hermione said with certainty.

Nydia looked at Hermione, she guessed that Hermione must have taken some measures to prevent this situation, "How can you be sure that no one snitched."

"I added a spell to the parchment we signed. If anyone goes to tell Umbridge, his face will immediately be filled with sarcasm! We will know now as long as we go to the restaurant to confirm! "

As soon as they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Draco hurried towards them! Apparently the announcement was also posted in the Slytherin common room.

"What's going on? Didn't you take any confidentiality measures?" Draco asked in a low voice.

"Don't be nervous! We are just here to confirm."

Several other people were anxious to confirm everyone's situation and walked into the restaurant first. Nydia stayed to explain the situation to Draco.

"Umbridge must have received the news, otherwise she wouldn't have issued this notice suddenly at this time." Draco was very worried, because Nydia also attended the party.

"We just had a party, we can't be counted as any organization yet! She can't punish us just because of a party." Nidia said, "But this matter is really strange."

"Maybe Umbridge has been sending people to keep an eye on you! I think her main purpose is to keep an eye on Potter! You should advise them to give up this idea! Umbridge may be waiting for him to make a mistake!" Draco explain.

"Okay, I will remind them. Go and have breakfast! I will go over and check on their situation!" Nidia said.

"Go ahead! I won't eat. I lose my appetite when I think about going to see Umbridge later!" Draco had a look of disgust on his face.

"Why are you looking for her?" Nitya asked worriedly. "Is she causing trouble for you?"

"It's a trouble, but it's not for me personally!" Draco sighed helplessly, "You may not have noticed that her announcement also included the Quidditch team, so I need to go find her. Apply for reorganization!”

"Why are you going? Shouldn't it be Ister Carlo? He is the captain of your team!" Nidia said unhappily.

"Because my father has a good relationship with Umbridge, they thought it would be smoother for me to apply," Draco said.

Nitya suppressed her words in displeasure, "Now he will finally think of your father! He always looks disdainful, but he is so brave that he can solve it by himself!"

Draco smiled and touched Nitya's head. He knew that Nitya was avenging herself, and the original unhappiness in his heart immediately dissipated a lot, "In order for the team to be able to train normally, there is nothing we can do about it. , I don’t think we’ll be delayed there for too long!”
