Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

The rain gradually became lighter, and the tiny raindrops rippled on the surface of the black lake.

Draco didn't know why he came to the Black Lake. Maybe it was because this was where Nydia often came. He was hoping in his heart that someone could say a few words of comfort to him, if that person was Nydia. Ya couldn't be better, but she must be busy worrying about Potter's injury now! When leaving the arena, he saw Nydia running in the direction of Potter.

He leaned against a big tree by the lake in frustration. He had worked hard for so long just to prove in public that he was stronger than Potter, but in the end, Potter caught the Golden Snitch by his side.

He couldn't imagine how others were talking about him behind his back now. They must now be even more convinced that he was selected by giving the players new broomsticks. He now regretted why he paid attention to Potter's situation. It was not him who the crazy Bludger was going to hit. He should have taken advantage of Potter's avoidance of the Bludger to look for the Golden Snitch. But it's useless to think about anything now, the game is over.

Just when Draco was regretting his actions, there was a sound of slight footsteps behind him.

Nydia?

Draco looked back excitedly, but to his disappointment, the person who came was not Nydia, but Astoria.

"What are you doing here?" Draco felt a little disappointed, and his tone was inevitably not good.

"I...I came to see you..." Astoria said cautiously. She could see that Draco was a little disappointed when he saw her, but she didn't care.

"What's there to see in a loser? Let's go!" Draco turned his head to the side impatiently.

"You're not a loser, you're just distracted by other things." Astoria said excitedly.

"Don't act like you know me very well." Draco obviously didn't want to be comforted by her.

"I have gone to watch every training session of yours... Maybe you haven't noticed, but I have gone to watch..." Astoria said as she slowly approached Draco.

Every game? Draco looked at Astoria in surprise, and Astoria's face immediately turned red the moment she made eye contact with Draco.

"You practice harder than anyone else on the team. You were distracted in today's game because you were worried about Harry Potter, so you didn't notice the Golden Snitch." Astoria pressed. Said the inner tension.

"Nonsense, I'm not worried about his condition!" Draco didn't want others to mistakenly think that he was worried about Harry Potter being hit by the Bludger.

"Of course you are worried about his situation! Because you want to have an upright contest with him, rather than taking advantage of others' danger to win the game." Astoria had already walked to Draco's side.

Astoria's words once again surprised Draco. He did have such thoughts during the game. He hoped that Potter could get rid of the crazy Bludger quickly, and then they could have a good battle. . For the first time, Draco took a serious look at this troublesome girl who he thought was too timid before. Draco didn't expect that she could understand him so well. She was actually very good-looking, somewhat similar to Daphne, but her facial features More refined.

Astoria quietly sat down next to Draco, still keeping a certain distance between them. She was worried that Draco would be disgusted with her behavior, but to her surprise, Draco didn't say anything after looking at her, which was regarded as acquiescence. Now Astoria was really relieved. sat there.

"To be honest, in my opinion, what Harry Potter did was unwise. He could have asked Mrs. Hooch to check the Bludger. Their team had already called a timeout, but he didn't ask Any request, even risking being hit by a ball to win the game. Maybe Gryffindor calls this courage, but I think it is a reckless behavior." Astoria hugged his knees. , as if talking to Draco, or to himself.

Draco agreed with Astoria's words. Indeed, why should he be serious about competing with a reckless person to see who is more desperate? Although the honor of the college is very important, it should not be sacrificed with one's own life. Thinking of this, the frustration in Draco's heart was reduced a lot, and the expression on his face was no longer as tense as before, and became much more relaxed.

Astoria carefully observed the changes in emotions on Draco's face. After seeing his expression relax, Astoria smiled happily. The two small dimples on her cheeks made her smile look very special. of sweetness.

"Why are you laughing?" Draco asked confused.

"I just thought about how surprised the players on other teams would be when you show your true strength in the following games!"

"Come on, don't put such a high hat on me." Although Draco said this, he was still happy in his heart. Astoria's words reminded him that this was only the first game, and there would be more to come. At least two games later, it’s not certain who will get the trophy in the end! It's too early to get discouraged yourself.

Draco regained his composure again and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, and Astoria smiled even happier after seeing Draco's smile.

When Nydia rushed to the Black Lake, she saw exactly this scene. Draco was not in a bad mood as she expected, but instead looked full of fighting spirit, while Astoria was smiling at Germany. Lacko said something.

Nydia couldn't hear what they were saying, but she felt that Draco's ability to be full of fighting spirit again must have something to do with Astoria. Looking at the scene in front of her, Nydia didn't dare to go forward and disturb her, and her mood was a little complicated. If it were herself, would she be able to cheer Draco up so quickly? The answer is no, because she couldn't even think of a word to comfort Draco all the way here.

Nitya did not step forward to disturb them, but turned around and left quietly. Her heart seemed to be blocked by something, making her feel a little breathless.

After Nidia walked away, two other figures came out of the woods.

"I don't understand why you gave Astoria such a good opportunity to do it. Draco needs someone to accompany him right now. Are you really helping me by doing this?" Pansy whispered, her eyes Staring fiercely at Astoria who was sitting next to Draco.

"Why are you in a hurry! Be patient. Waiting until both of them are hurt is the best time for you to appear!" Daphne is very satisfied with the current progress. "What you have to do now is to provoke the two of them. The spark between.”

"I hate being so slow," Pansy said impatiently.

When Draco returned to the Slytherin lounge, he was in a good mood. He was no longer depressed about the defeat in this game. He was sure that his strength would be recognized by everyone sooner or later.

"Nitya is really amazing!" Blaise sighed as he looked at Draco who looked relaxed.

"What? What did Nydia do?" Draco asked in confusion. Did Nydia do anything after he left the field? Helped Porter heal his injuries?

"Wasn't it just... wait, weren't you with Nydia just now?" Blaise originally thought that Nydia asked Draco to clear up the haze of losing the game, but seeing Draco's confused expression At this time, he thought he might have made a mistake.

"Why is she with me? Shouldn't she be staying next to Potter?" Thinking of this, Draco felt a little depressed. He originally thought that the person who would come to him would be her.

"But I clearly saw her going to the direction of the Black Lake to find you." Brace saw with his own eyes that Pansy told Nidia where Drake was going, and Nidia also went in that direction. "Aren't you in Black Lake?"

"I was in the Black Lake, but I didn't see Nydia!" Draco said. "You mean that Nydia came to the Black Lake to look for me?"

"I did see her heading towards Black Lake...why didn't you meet her? Did she go somewhere else because of something on the way?" Brace said.

"It would be fine if I went somewhere else... I'm afraid..." Draco had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Who were you with just now?"

"Astoria..." Draco explained, "We were just chatting for a while."

"Obviously the conversation was very productive." Blaise raised his eyebrows and looked at Draco with an ambiguous expression.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense." Draco was a little worried now. Did Nydia see something and misunderstood? He must ask Nitya for details.
