Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After Nidia returned to the common room, she did not tell anyone what she had just seen, not even Michelle. She couldn't explain what she was feeling in her heart right now, she just felt an uncomfortable tightness in her chest. When Hermione came back from the hospital and told her about Harry's condition, Nydia couldn't even listen attentively.

Nydia basically couldn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, she came to Snape's office to check on the potion brewing situation. To Nydia's surprise, Snape was not in the office today. , he usually comes over in the morning to check his various potions.

After quickly confirming that everything was normal, Nydia immediately prepared to leave. She was inexplicably afraid of meeting someone here, since it was very close to the Slytherin common room. But the moment Nydia walked out of Snape's office, Draco had already appeared in front of her.

"Hi...it's so early!" Nydia greeted a little stiffly. The last person she wanted to meet right now was Draco. The scene where he and Astoria were joking by the lake yesterday kept popping up in her mind. Scenes.

"Well... you're early too." Draco had been upset all night, so he came here early in the morning to see if he could meet Nydia.

After an awkward silence, it was Draco who spoke first.

"Brace said you went to Black Lake to look for me after the game yesterday?"

"Oh! Yes... indeed... no, it should be said that I originally planned to go, but on the way... I met Professor Snape. He asked me for something temporarily, so..." Nidia didn't know why. He wanted to hide the fact that he had been to the Black Lake from Draco, "By the way, yesterday's game was a pity. You will definitely perform better next time."

"So that's it." Draco breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I will definitely catch the Golden Snitch in the next game."

Nydia cursed herself in her mind, saying these were polite and comforting words. Astoria must have expressed it much better than she did.

"Ahem!!"

With a slight cough, Snape appeared behind Nydia at some point.

"Professor..." Nydia secretly yelled, "Oh no, when did Snape come over? Did he hear what he just said?" Will he expose his lies?

"Mr. Malfoy, I think you should go to the dining room to have your breakfast alone, because I have something to talk to Miss Field again." Snape raised his eyebrows slightly when he said "something happened." .

Draco glanced at Nydia. Now that he had confirmed that she did not go to the Black Lake yesterday, he felt relieved.

Watching Draco walk away, Nydia hesitated whether to ask Snape what was going on with her. It was obvious that he had heard the lie he had told before, but not only did he not expose himself, he also It was a lie for myself.

"The person looking for you is Principal Dumbledore." Snape gave Nydia a thoughtful look, "Follow me!"

Nitya was not too surprised. She guessed that he was talking to her about the secret room. Did Dumbledore also suspect that he was the heir who opened the Chamber of Secrets?

When I came to Dumbledore's office again, my mood was a little different. Last time I was nervous, but this time I was a little angry, because it didn't feel good to be suspected.

"If you want to ask about the Chamber of Secrets, I can only say that I don't know anything, and I am not an heir." Nydia spoke first before Dumbledore could ask.

"Oh, I think you can calm down first. How about a cup of hot cocoa?" Nydia did not see Dumbledore wave his wand, but a cup of hot cocoa floated in front of her.

Nitya took a sip of hot cocoa to calm down her excitement. She realized that her behavior just now was not polite, "Sorry..."

"The invitation for you to come here is indeed related to the Chamber of Secrets, but I don't think you opened the Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore saw that Nydia had calmed down. "A student was attacked last night. His condition is similar to that of Loris." Madam is the same."

"Who is it?" Nitya asked nervously.

"Colin Creevey. We suspect he was trying to visit Harry in hospital last night and was attacked on the way."

"Colin! How could..." Nydia thought of the boy who chased Harry with a camera to take pictures all day long. "But Mr. Principal, how can I help?"

"I know that everyone is talking about the secret room now. We are not sure whether it is really the secret room that has been opened, or whether someone is committing crimes in the name of the secret room. But if it is really related to the secret room, I think the only way The one who can provide us with some clues is you, Nitya.”

"Me? But I don't know any more about the Chamber of Secrets than others!" Nydia put the hot cocoa in her hand on Dumbledore's desk.

"As far as I know, Voldemort was once the last heir of Slytherin, and as his descendant, you naturally became one of the heirs of the Chamber of Secrets. Of course, not many people know about this, so you don't know My identity is not surprising."

What? Are you the heir? The news exploded in Nitya's mind like a bombshell.

"If I guess correctly, you should be a Parseltongue, which is one of Slytherin's most famous abilities." Dumbledore continued when he saw that Nydia did not speak. "We have invited many people and spent a lot of effort to search for traces of the secret room in Hogwarts Castle, but they have not been able to find it. Is there a secret room and where is it? I think you may be the best person. There is hope of finding it, so I would like to ask you to try your best to find the secret room!”

"What happens after we find the secret room? But even if I am the heir, I don't have any more clues about the secret room at the moment!"

"If the Chamber of Secrets is indeed opened, I think you may be the only one with the ability to close it. As for how to find it, you may need to pay attention to some details that others cannot find." Dumbledore looked through his half-moon shape glasses, staring at Nitya closely.

"Details that others can't discover..." Nidia lowered her head and thought, snake language? This is something that others can't hear but that I can hear, but Harry can hear it too! "Sir, is it true that only Slytherins have the ability to speak Parseltongue?"

"I can't give you an exact answer, but for now, this is it."

"But...but Harry is also a Parseltongue!" Nydia thought about whether she should tell Dumbledore about this, but in the end she believed that Dumbledore would not persecute Harry, so she still said it.

Nydia told Dumbledore exactly what she heard from the invisible snake and how Harry could also hear the voice. Dumbledore fell into deep thought for a while.

"I think Harry's Parseltongue ability does not come from blood inheritance..."

"Why is that? Is this an ability that can be acquired through acquired learning?"

"No, I'm not completely sure yet, but he is different from you. As far as I know, Harry's parents don't have this ability."

"If the secret room is indeed opened...does that...does it mean that he is in school now? He sneaked in again like last year." Nidia carefully expressed her conjecture. How she wished she could The guess was wrong, because she discovered that he once had a good side, those medals!

"That's why I hope you can confirm whether the secret room has really been opened."

"I see."
