Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

The Gryffindor common room was empty at midnight. Most of the students had gone back to their dormitories or had fallen asleep. At this time, Nydia was sitting alone by the fireplace in the lounge. Although she had an open book in her hand, The book came, but my thoughts have wandered to nowhere.

After flying around the castle several times, she returned her broom to the broomstick shed, and then returned to Gryffindor Tower alone. From the beginning to the end, she did not notice that there was anyone following her while flying.

The flames in the fireplace made the wood creak, and after a while the flames twisted, a human face flashed in the center.

"Are you waiting for me if you haven't gone to bed at this time? Did you guess that I would come over to take a look?" Sirius appeared in the flames with an excited look on his face.

"You are not very courageous. You dare to show up like this after you were almost caught by Umbridge last time." In fact, Nydia was not sure that Sirius would definitely show up, but she felt that he was separated by his personality. I will definitely not be able to stay alone for such a period of time.

"She can't squat by the fireplace every day! Do you have anything to ask me for?" Nydia didn't show any surprise after Sirius appeared. Sirius guessed that she was waiting here specially for him. appeared.

"I want to go to Knockturn Alley." Nidia stated her purpose straightforwardly.

"Knockturn Alley? That's not the place you should go!" Sirius was surprised by Nydia's purpose, "Why do you want to go to that place?"

"I need to find ingredients for a potion. I think there might be some in Knockturn Alley." Nidia said seriously.

"Potion ingredients? What are you planning to brew? You should know that Knockturn Alley is a place that sells some black magic supplies! Are you planning to brew something dangerous?" Sirius asked cautiously.

"I can't tell you what it is, but I can assure you that it's definitely not something dangerous." Nidia said, "In fact, I can go by myself, and wait until the Christmas vacation, but I thought you would If you are interested, I thought you were bored in that old house... If you are not interested, forget it!"

"Wait!" Sirius called to Nydia, who was getting up to leave, "That place is very dangerous for you!"

"I have also heard some rumors about that place..." Nitya looked like she was thinking about it with a headache, "But I really need that material... I think no matter how dangerous it is, I can only take the risk and go there alone. Trip."

Sirius frowned. He knew that this girl's words were meant to irritate him, but he also knew that with Nydia's character, it was absolutely possible for her to run to Knockturn Alley. Rather than leaving her alone To take the risk, it would be safer to just follow her and watch her.

"When do you want to come over?" Sirius asked Nydia.

"This weekend, you take me to Apparate from Hogsmeade." Nydia had already thought of a plan before Sirius appeared. This weekend would be the most suitable time, because next week is Halloween. Draco would be very busy as a prefect, and Michelle would go on dates with Blaise so that no one would notice that she was gone all day.

Sirius lowered his head and thought for a while before sighing helplessly, "If we are going, I think we'd better dress up and prepare the polyjuice potion just like last time."

"Speaking of last time, I've always wanted to ask you, what happened to Mundungus? Why did you say he was following Harry?" Nidia asked.

"I was so excited that I accidentally spilled the beans in front of Molly. I had to say that Mundungus told me all this and he was supposed to follow Harry that day." Sirius explained. "But this guy was AWOL again. He went to work on his own small business, so I made a deal with him. I wouldn't expose his absence without permission, and he wouldn't expose that I secretly left. thing."

"This is not his first time. Is this guy really reliable? Why should he be responsible for following Harry?" Nidia asked in confusion.

"I don't understand this either. This is Dumbledore's arrangement. I can't say anything. But I guess it may be because Mundungus is the one who looks the least like a member of the Order of the Phoenix among us, so it is not easy to cause confusion. Others' suspicion. "Actually, Sirius would rather have carried out this task himself, but he couldn't, he was still a wanted criminal.

"Well... different types of people have their own unique values." Maybe this Mundungus really has his own merits.

"Then it's settled. We'll meet in the cave at nine o'clock in the morning. I will prepare the things of the person I need to transform. You can handle it yourself!" Sirius said.

Nydia nodded, "I'll take care of it."

"If we go there early, I can send you back early. If I have enough time, maybe I can take you there..." Sirius's voice became smaller and smaller after he said that.

"What? Where to go?" Nidia couldn't hear what was behind.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it. Just remember, try to find people who look a little more ordinary. This way, it will be less likely to arouse other people's excessive thoughts and make it less likely to leave a deep impression on others." Sirius said.

"I understand! Leave quickly! Lest anyone discovers you!" Nydia urged Sirius impatiently.

Sirius's head disappeared from the flames of the fireplace. Nydia thought, she still had the polyjuice potion here, now she just needed to choose a suitable transformation object.

In the next few days, Nidia began to pay special attention to the girls in school. She tried to find a suitable person for her transformation. Finally, she set her target on a seventh-grade girl. He felt that an older girl would appear less noticeable in Knockturn Alley. The most important thing was that this girl was about the same size and shape as him, so he didn't have to worry about the clothes not fitting him after the transformation.

On Saturday morning, Nydia got up very early and went to Hogsmeade Village. Before there were many students coming, she secretly came to the cave where Sirius was hiding.

"Put this on your body!" Sirius threw a black cloak to Nydia, "Even if we become someone else, it's better not to be too ostentatious."

Nidia took a look at the cloak and asked doubtfully, "But wouldn't it look more suspicious if it was wrapped so tightly?"

"You will know when you get there. Such attire is normal there. Even if you meet one or two fugitives like me on the street, there is no need to show any surprise." The alley is such a place where snakes and dragons are mixed, which is why Sirius is worried about letting Nydia run there alone.

"Are you really not going to tell me what you want to buy?" Sirius asked curiously again.

"No, you're not interested in potions anyway, right? Or do you think I'm going to brew some harmful potions!" Nidia asked in return.

"Of course I don't think you will harm anyone, but brewing this kind of potion will be dangerous... I think you should be more cautious!" Sirius reminded with some worry.

"I will." Nydia put on her cloak, handed the polyjuice potion to Sirius, and then drank another bottle herself.

This was Nydia's first time using Polyjuice Potion. The potion began to take effect soon after she drank it. She felt her body twisting and deforming. This feeling was somewhat similar to what she felt when she transformed into an Animagus. resemblance.

"Okay! Come here and put your hands on my shoulders!" Sirius had changed into a different look at this time. Nydia stared at him carefully for a while to ensure that she would not admit her mistake later. Got people.

Nidia put her hands on his shoulders as Sirius said, and Sirius grabbed Nidia's elbow, "It may be a little uncomfortable the first time, but don't be afraid. It's normal. Phenomenon, these uncomfortable feelings will end soon.”

Nidia nodded, indicating that she was ready, and then her surroundings turned into darkness. She felt that her body was being squeezed and rotated in all directions, which was completely different from the distortion of her previous transformation. She felt like her internal organs were about to be squeezed out of her body. Even though Sirius had warned her in advance, the feeling at this moment still made people panic. Just when Nydia couldn't help but want to scream loudly, Those uncomfortable feelings quickly disappeared, and the surrounding darkness also dissipated.

"How do you feel? We've reached Knockturn Alley now!" Sirius looked Nydia up and down to make sure she was still intact.
