Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After Harry stopped looking for the Mirror of Erised, it wasn't until Hermione came back that their conversation returned to Nicolas Flamel.

"So what Snape wants to steal is the Philosopher's Stone. What is it?" Ron asked doubtfully.

"Waiting"

Hermione jumped up and ran upstairs to the girls' dormitory. Not long after, she rushed back with a huge old book in her arms.

"I didn't expect to look for it here." Hermione whispered excitedly, "I borrowed this from the library a few weeks ago and wanted to read it for fun."

"Recreation." Ron expressed difficulty in understanding Hermione's pastime. He originally wanted to say more, but Hermione silenced him with a look.

"Look here." Hermione pushed the book over, pointed to a passage and read it aloud to them.

The book introduces the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and can also create the elixir of life, so that people who drink this medicine will never die. Nicolas Flamel is the only remaining piece of it. The holder of the Philosopher's Stone, now six hundred and sixty-five years old.

"See?" Hermione asked. "That big dog must be guarding Flamel's Philosopher's Stone! I dare say that Flamel asked Dumbledore to keep it for him because they were friends and he knew that someone was trying to take advantage of the Philosopher's Stone. That's why he took it The Philosopher's Stone was transferred from Gringotts."

"A stone can turn gold and make you immortal!" Harry said. "No wonder Snape is also thinking about it! Anyone would want it."

"I don't think we can confirm yet that the person who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone is Snape." Nydia remembered her father's evaluation of Snape at home.

"It's him, we've all seen it, why do you still doubt it? Do you really think he is the submissive Quirrell?" Ron had already determined that Snape was the one who wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding or details that we missed." Nitya argued. "I'm at Snape's every Friday afternoon. Although he has a bad temper, I don't think he's a bad person."

"Did you damage your brain by copying the recipe?" Ron sighed.

"He tried to kill me during the last Quidditch match, Nydia, you all saw it," Harry said.

"But Quirrell was also chanting a spell. I saw it. Your broom stopped swinging when Quirrell's spell stopped."

"That can only mean that the two of them are accomplices. There is no doubt that Snape is also chanting the curse," Ron said.

"You don't need to argue anymore. Although I don't want to think that the school teacher is such a person, for safety reasons Harry, you'd better be wary of Snape and Quirrell." Hermione didn't want Nydia and Roy to be careful. En got into an argument about this matter, so he interrupted their conversation.

Nydia didn't want to argue about this issue anymore, because she really didn't have enough evidence to prove Snape's innocence, so she had to give it up.

All clues made no progress after the discovery of the Sorcerer's Stone, and nothing special happened again. The Quidditch match was approaching and Harry was busy training again, and the matter of the Sorcerer's Stone was finally over. Nidia sorted out the books she had borrowed during this period to investigate Nicoléme, and found that there were quite a lot of them. Now that she knew everything, it was time to return the books.

"Can you help me take all these books and return them?" Hermione also dug out several books borrowed from the library. "I made an appointment with Ron to play wizard chess. I must beat him today."

"Give it all to me, and you can play chess."

Hermione seemed to lose to Ron only at wizard chess, which made Hermione very unconvinced by her strong personality. She would play several games with Ron whenever she had free time for several days in a row.

After Nydia took all the books to the library and returned them alone, she met Malfoy and his two followers outside the library. They were bullying Neville again. Malfoy cast a leg-locking spell on Neville, who fell to the ground.

"I've always wanted to find someone to practice this spell with, and I just happened to meet you, a fool." Malfoy looked at his masterpiece proudly. "Gryffindor also preaches that it only recruits students with courage, but in the end it only recruits cowards like you."

Malfoy's words caused laughter from the followers behind him, while Neville was lying on the ground struggling to stand up.

"The curse will stop." Nydia couldn't stand it any longer, so she pulled out her wand and lifted the spell for Neville.

"Thank you." Neville, who was freed, gasped and got up from the ground.

"You have to meddle in other people's business again." Malfoy frowned when he saw it was Nydia.

"Is helping fellow students in your own college considered nosy?" Nitya asked.

"If there was such a timid student in Slytherin, I would just think that he doesn't deserve to be in Slytherin at all." Malfoy said.

"So Neville was sorted into Gryffindor. The courage of Gryffindor students will not be used against classmates." Nydia said and came over to help Neville dust himself off. Neville once again Thank her gratefully.

"It sounds nice, but it's just incompetence." Malfoy continued to sarcastically say.

"Whatever you think." Nydia recalled what Narcissa said to her, and did not want to continue arguing with Malfoy. She turned to Neville and said, "Let's go back to the common room. You need to go back and change your clothes." ”

After saying that, Nydia took Neville and turned around to leave, ignoring Malfoy yelling behind her.

"I...am I so useless? I can't do anything well and am clumsy." Neville lowered his head and said.

"Don't think so. There must be a reason why the Sorting Hat put you in Gryffindor. If you are slow in learning, just spend more time." Nydia comforted her, "You just haven't found what you want to protect yet." , when you have someone or something you want to protect, you will become extremely brave.”

"Is that so? Then what do you want to protect, Nydia?" Neville asked.

"It's hard to say, I think I want to prove myself more!" Nidia said.

"Prove yourself to be different from your family?"

Neville's words surprised Nydia, but she soon realized that the family Neville was talking about was the Field family.

"Well, indeed, I want to prove that I am different from them, and I want to go my own way." Nitya said

"I think you are different from those people in your family that I have heard about. Everyone will know that you are not from the same family as them." Neville said.

"Thank you for saying that." Neville's words inexplicably made people feel warm in their hearts. "I have also heard about your parents. They are both brave and respectable warriors."

"I really wish I could be like them." Neville lowered his head and said, the small voice reflecting his inner unconfidence.

"It will definitely happen, Neville, you have to believe in yourself."
