Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

The day after the first meeting of the Duel Club, two things became the topics of discussion among the students at Hogwarts. The first thing is about Harry. There have been rumors among the students that Harry is the heir of Slytherin. Originally this was just speculation, but due to the exposure of Harry's Parseltongue identity , now becomes well-founded.

The second thing is mainly spread among Slytherin students. The duel between Nydia and Astoria last night was publicized as Nydia leaving with Draco because she was dissatisfied with Astoria. Deliberate revenge for getting too close. As for who spread this rumor, Nidia can actually guess it easily, but she can't figure out the reason why she did it.

"Are Draco and Astoria very close? But I don't seem to have heard Draco mention her. Have you told me?" By the black lake, Michelle was thinking about Nettie in confusion. For a person who was closely related to the person involved, she was completely unaware of the triangular relationship. She guessed whether it was related to what Nitya had concealed, but she did not dare to ask rashly.

Nitya did not answer Michelle's words. She was throwing the pebbles in her hand into the lake one by one, trying to vent her bad mood in this way.

"So you are here, we have been waiting outside the Gryffindor common room for a long time." Blaise put his hands on his hips and breathed heavily.

Following Blaise was the other protagonist in this rumor, Draco. He looked nervously at Nydia, who was standing by the lake. Nydia only turned her head slightly when she heard the sound of them coming. He glanced at them and then continued to throw his own stones.

"Is your wound feeling better? I brought you some ointment." Draco took out the ointment. He did not hand it to Nidia directly because he was not sure what Nidia's attitude was now. He handed the ointment to Nidia. He gave it to Michelle, "Michelle, please wipe it for her. The injury is on her forehead. It's definitely not convenient for her to wipe it herself."

Michelle took the ointment, walked directly to Nidia and pulled her to a big stone without any explanation, sat her down on the big stone, and then started to apply the ointment on her. Nitya didn't speak or resist the whole time, letting Michelle arrange her own arrangements. She felt very tired. There were no clues in the secret room, and now she was inexplicably labeled as someone who deliberately bullied junior students. Since morning, people have been pointing at her and talking in low voices.

"You two are here just in time. I also want to ask you whether Astoria did it on purpose. It was just a disarming spell, making it look like she had been attacked. Is it necessary?" Michelle said indignantly. said.

"You may have wrongly blamed Astoria for this," Blaise said.

"Do you really think I am deliberately trying to embarrass her?" Nitya, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, Nitya, I definitely didn't doubt your intentions at all." Blaise assured anxiously. "I just want to tell you that this matter is indeed not that Astoria pretended to be injured on purpose. I have heard some things about her. She has been very weak since she was a child. She cannot support the use of many spells, nor can she resist much. A spell attack. So it is completely normal for a disarming spell to knock her away."

This news surprised both Nidia and Michelle, and Nidia felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She had no idea that Astoria was in this situation. If she had simply used a leg lock yesterday, Mantra, then these things won’t happen.

"Don't you Slytherin's criteria for selecting students always emphasize talent and bloodline? Judging from Astoria's situation, you should be more interested in bloodline." Michelle frowned unhappily. I feel that even if Astoria wasn't pretending, she still caused trouble for Nydia.

"She is indeed not good at spells, but that doesn't mean she has no talent in other areas. This girl's talent in potions and herbalism is quite good." Blaise spent most of the day learning a lot about Regarding Astoria's situation, "Didn't I have a cold outbreak for a while before? Ms. Pomfrey's refreshing potion was in short supply. This girl actually prepared the refreshing potion herself and specially sent it to Draco."

Draco quietly twisted the flesh on Blaise's arm, causing him to stop what he was about to say.

"She distributed her own pick-me-up potions to many Slytherin classmates." Draco glared at Blaise.

Nydia was surprised again. She also prepared the refreshing potion herself, but that was because she had the formula given by Snape, which had very detailed instructions, and Astoria prepared it by herself in only the first grade. This shows that she is indeed very talented in potions. Nydia suddenly remembered the refreshing potion that Draco sent to her. It should have been obtained from Astoria. During that time, she actually They didn't even notice that Draco had caught a cold, and even the only bottle of refreshing potion he prepared was given to Ginny.

"Yes, many Slytherin classmates were favored by Astoria at that time." Blaise rubbed his arm in pain, "That is to say, after that time, Astoria was in Slytherin. Iverson, who is very popular in Leitlin, and played against Nydia yesterday, is one of those who received favors from Astoria.”

"No wonder she was so cruel."

"oops"

Michelle was excited for a moment, and the hand that applied the medicine to Nidia was a little too hard, and Nidia cried out in pain.

"Take it easy," Draco said in a reproachful tone.

"You can do it." Michelle handed the ointment to Draco angrily.

"No, it's almost wiped off." Nitya interrupted the two of them.

Draco had already stretched out his hand to take the ointment handed over by Michelle. Nidia's words made him stunned. Michelle also looked at Nidia strangely. Could it be that she was because of the rumors? Are you angry with Draco?

"You can keep the ointment. I still have some." Nydia's indifferent attitude made Draco feel a little uneasy.

"I said that if anyone deliberately caused harm in this whole thing, it must be Daphne." Blaise noticed the awkwardness in the atmosphere and tried to say something to distract everyone, "It's not like Daphne didn't know about her sister. Due to the situation, yesterday he deliberately pushed her to duel with Nitya, and she usually seems indifferent to her sister, but yesterday she acted very eagerly. "

"Well, these two sisters are not good people anyway." Michelle said angrily. "This rumor must have come from one of them."

"Forget it, I did come to Astoria injured." Nidia sighed. After knowing these things, Nidia felt even more uncomfortable. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. As if being stirred up by someone, he said, "I'm a little tired, let's go back first."

"Ah" Michelle was a little surprised. She glanced at Draco solicitingly, and Draco nodded slightly to her. "Okay, let's go back first."

"Thank you for the ointment." Nydia said to Draco. There was not much expression on her face, and there was no trace of happiness or anger.

"You have a good rest." Draco actually wanted to ask Nydia if she was angry because of the rumors, but when he saw Nydia's current expression of neither sadness nor joy, he couldn't ask because he was afraid. He will hear answers he doesn't want to hear and make them no longer even friends.
