Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

One morning at breakfast time, the owl brought Nidia a letter from Mr. Field. He informed Nidia that he would need to go to France with the Malfoys to deal with some matters during the Christmas period, so Nidia could only stay in France during the Christmas vacation. After spending time in Hogwarts, he repeatedly asked Nydia to pay more attention to her safety in the letter, and promised her that he would definitely bring her gifts to make up for her absence this Christmas.

During this time, Nidia has been troubled by the secret room. Only when she saw the letter did she realize that it was only more than two weeks before Christmas. Now the whole school is in panic because of the attack, and there is no sense of any upcoming holiday atmosphere.

"Actually, you can go back with me to spend Christmas. Although my home is not as luxurious as your Field Manor, my parents will definitely entertain you warmly." After learning that Nidia would stay at school for Christmas, Michelle Er extended an invitation to her.

"I'd love to visit your home, but I think let's forget it this time! I want to use my vacation time to search the school again."

Nidia had no idea what was going on in the secret room, and Nidia was not in the mood for the holidays at all. When Professor McGonagall came to collect the list of students staying at school for Christmas, Nidia went and signed her name without hesitation. She was surprised that Harry, Ron and Hermione all chose to stay in school for the holidays. Nydia didn't know if they had the same idea as her, or if they still suspected Draco and Make polyjuice potion. They were probably worried that Nydia would tell Draco their plans, so they had been avoiding her recently, intentionally or unintentionally.

In the next Potions class, Nidia's previous questions were answered. It was a Thursday afternoon. Snape was instructing the students to make the swelling potion. Nydia was sitting next to Harry. She could see that Harry was not concentrating on brewing the potion. Originally, Nettie Nydia didn't care about this, because Harry had never been interested in potions, but when he misplaced the potions for the countless times because he was paying attention to Snape's whereabouts, Nydia had to start paying attention to him. This was so strange, Harry usually avoided Snape.

Sure enough, when Snape's attention was focused on criticizing Neville's potion, Harry quickly took out a string of hard-drawn fireworks from his pocket, lit them quickly with his wand, and quickly threw them into Goyle's potion. in the crucible.

Before Nidia could stop him, Gore's potion had already exploded and poured onto the whole class. Everyone screamed under the attack of the splashing swelling potion. Nitya was not affected because she was far away.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Snape roared, "Nidia! Go and get the anti-swelling medicine from the cabinet. All students who were splashed by the medicine should come here to get the anti-swelling medicine! Wait until I figure it out. Who did it..."

Nydia skillfully took out the anti-swelling potion from Snape's medicine cabinet, and half of the class crowded in front of her. When Draco came to Nydia, he tried his best to lower his He didn't want Nydia to see what he looked like now, but it was too difficult. His position was very close to Goyle, so he had swelling medicine poured on his face, and his nose was swollen like a balloon.

After everyone drank the antidote, Snape quickly walked to Goyle's cauldron and scooped out the black pyrotechnic ashes with a spoon, and the classroom suddenly fell silent.

"Once I find out who threw this," Snape said in a low voice through gritted teeth, "I will definitely fire that person."

Nydia's eyes looked at Harry. When Harry met Nydia's gaze, he immediately looked away guiltily.

Since Dumbledore arranged for Nydia to search for the Chamber of Secrets, Nydia's stay with Snape after class was canceled. After class, Nydia had to pack up the things she left in Snape's office. Left alone.

While sorting out her things, Nydia was thinking about Harry's purpose for doing this. He was not a person who liked pranks, and everyone knew that Snape was the most difficult teacher to mess with. There must be a reason for doing this in class. After thinking about it, Nidia finally guessed that they must be missing the ingredients for the polyjuice potion. Polyjuice potion was originally not within the scope of teaching in the school, and the quantity and type of materials required There are a lot of them, and the place with the most complete potion materials in the school is Snape's office.

While Nitya was thinking, the door to the office was pushed open, and a man in a purple robe walked in.

"Good afternoon! Professor Snape" Lockhart appeared at the door of the office.

Nydia's forgetting spell made Lockhart completely forget what happened between them, and he is now wandering around the school as usual. Snape said nothing. What happened in class made him feel very bad.

"I have a note! A great note." Lockhart ignored Snape's indifference and continued to speak, "Students have been panicked recently because of the attack. As their teachers, we should They do something, don't they?"

Snape still didn't speak, and he didn't even stop what he was doing to hear Lockhart speak.

"I decided to open a dueling club to teach students some simple dueling skills so that they can use them for self-defense. You know that I am happy to share my various dueling skills with others." Lockhart continued to say to himself He said to himself, "Of course, I might be too busy on my own, so I would like to ask, Professor Snape, if you have time to come over and be my assistant?"

Hearing these words, Nidia couldn't help but roll her eyes, he's here to teach dueling skills! Stop laughing so hard, okay? However, he was still smart enough to know that he had to drag Professor Snape with him, otherwise the dueling club might become just like his class, and it would become a personal book reading session on his own.

"I..." Just as Snape was about to speak, Nydia immediately interrupted him.

"Professor Snape will be honored to be your assistant." When she dared to say this, Nydia could even feel Snape's murderous gaze.

"That's great. We will definitely become the idols of the students, even though I already am." Lockhart said happily and strode away.

"Who gave you the courage to make decisions about my affairs?" Snape stared at Nitya coldly.

"But you didn't refuse, right?" Nydia is no longer as afraid of Snape as she was at first. "You know he is an idiot. If you don't go, it's impossible for the students to learn anything. , and I think this is an opportunity to let everyone know how good you are at Defense Against Dark Arts." Nidia knew that Snape had always wanted to teach Defense Against Dark Arts.

"Humph!" Snape stopped talking and continued to do his own thing with his head down.

Back in the common room at night, Nydia found Harry and the three of them, who were obviously a little surprised that Nydia suddenly came to them.

"What materials are you still missing?" Nidia said straight to the point.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Ron tried to pretend to be confused.

"No need to pretend anymore. I know that the chaos in class today was caused by you, so you probably didn't succeed! Because I checked the ingredients required for Snape's polyjuice potion, and they are all in quantity." Nydia looked at it. To Harry.

"The horn of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake." Seeing that Nydia already knew everything, Hermione stopped hiding it.

Nidia took out the materials they lacked and handed them to Hermione. She had prepared a lot of materials for making those soups, but now that after-school detention has stopped, these materials are temporarily useless.

"Nitya, if you gave us the materials, does that mean you now think our guess was right?" Harry said excitedly.

"No, I still want to tell you that working on Draco is a waste of time, but I don't want to see other students get hurt because of your plan, and I don't want to see you really expelled by Snape. He is already doubting you, especially you, Harry," Nydia said seriously. Seeing so many classmates being harmed because of their plans today, Nidia felt a little angry.

"I think you feel sorry for Malfoy! His face today is so wonderful." Ron actually felt a little guilty in his heart, but Nydia's behavior of always siding with Malfoy made him feel a little uncomfortable. .

"You can go ahead and try! After this is over, I will be happy to start looking for clues in the secret room again with you. I also want to find the attacker as soon as possible." The search that has been making no progress makes Nidia feel that she is still We need to work with Harry and several others. It is really difficult to find it by ourselves and Michelle alone.
