Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After returning to the dormitory, Nidia still didn't say much. She sat alone on the window sill and looked into the distance.

"Do you need to talk to Nidia?" Michelle really couldn't stand Nidia's current state. There was no one else in the dormitory now, so she could have a good chat alone.

"I just feel a little tired." Nidia saw the worry in Michelle's eyes. "Sorry for worrying you."

"Is it because of the rumors?" Michelle sat next to Nitya.

"It is indeed a headache, but I don't care that much. It's just that too many things have happened recently and there has been no progress, so I feel a little tired," Nidia explained.

"I thought you were angry with Draco because of the rumor. To be honest, this rumor is too ridiculous. I can't even connect Draco and Astoria. What about you?" How could you bully Astoria because she is dissatisfied with her being too close to Draco? The person who spread this rumor is so stupid."

"The people who spread the rumors must have used their brains a lot." Nidia had already guessed a rough idea of ​​the truth of this matter.

"Ah" Michelle looked at Nitya in confusion.

"Actually, there is something I haven't told you." Nydia said a little embarrassed, "Do you still remember when you asked me where I went after the Quidditch match? Sorry, I lied. I was not killed. Nep left and went to find Draco, but when I found him, he no longer needed my comfort because someone else was already comforting him, and that person was Astoria."

"So, does the rumor that Astoria and Draco get close refer to this? But for people who don't know about this, they will be as confused about the rumors as I am. "

"No need. For other people, they only need to know that I bullied Astoria. The rest is up to others to guess. It may be more effective than the truth." As for rumors, as long as they arouse people out of curiosity, the rumors will always become more and more outrageous. "The more outrageous the rumors are, the easier it will be to irritate me and make me stay away from Draco or simply have a big fight with Draco over this matter."

"So, the purpose of this person spreading rumors is actually to keep you away from Draco. I thought it was just to smear you." Michelle suddenly realized, "The person in this school who wants you to stay away from Draco the most, I'm afraid it's Pansy, but considering Pansy's powder keg personality, can she think of using this method to deal with you? It's her style to just rush up to fight you in a duel."

"Actually, Pansy did come to duel with me at the beginning, but was stopped by Daphne. It should be true that she did it for Pansy, but the person who came up with this method should be Daphne, but I don't understand her. Why should Astoria be involved? She is her sister. Just to keep me away from Draco, she would let her sister get hurt." This is what Nydia has never understood. How can Daphne get out of this? What benefits did she gain from the incident? Was she just helping Pansy?

"Then are you really affected by this incident and are you angry with Draco?" Michelle asked carefully. At the lake before, Nydia's attitude towards Draco was very cold.

"I'm not angry with him," Nitya sighed, "I'm more angry with myself, as if I'm always causing him trouble."

"Oh, don't worry, Draco won't think so." Michelle breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Nydia was not affected by the rumors.

"I couldn't cheer him on when he was playing. I couldn't comfort him in time when he lost. I didn't even find out in time when he had a cold. Astoria went to give him a pick-me-up. "Nitya felt that she had really failed as a friend.

"Hey, are you taking advantage of Astoria's jealousy?" Michelle smelled a sour taste in Nidia's words.

"It's not jealousy. Don't always joke like this. Draco and I are friends." Nydia didn't notice that her face was already blushing. "I do envy Astoria a little. She You can follow your own heart, do what you want to do, and become who you want to be.”

"What is there to envy about her? As a wizard, she can't use spells at will. She is considered a half-squib." Michelle said nonchalantly.

"But this is how she can get everyone's recognition. Do you still remember the first time we met her? At that time, she was still hiding and crying secretly because everyone didn't like her. But now, it's only so short. In a short period of time, she was able to get upperclassmen to stand up for her.”

"If you are bullied, I think many of our Gryffindor classmates will help you out. Aren't there George and Fred in the senior class? And although Percy is a bit nagging, he is very good. To protect our Gryffindor students." Michelle tried hard to name a few more seniors, but after racking her brains, she realized that except for the Weasley brothers, there was no one else in the senior class. What more words have been said.

"But if they all know my true identity, will they still be friends with me like they are now?" This is Nidia's pain point, "Astoria is different, she is just herself, and everyone is Her favor will not change."

Michelle stopped talking. Indeed, if the identity of Voldemort's daughter was exposed, how many people would really not care?

"No matter what others think, I, Michelle Elaine, will always be your friend, Nidia." Michelle said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I don't care about other people's opinions as much as I used to." Nidia knew that Michelle said this so that she would not feel lonely. "I think it is enough for me to have friends like you. As a human being Don’t be too greedy.”

"You can't get better if you think like this. Doesn't it feel better if you say what's in your heart? The way you were dying before was really uncomfortable to watch." Michelle finally felt relieved.

"Sorry for making you worry." Nidia expressed her apology again.

"You don't have to apologize to me. I think you should say something to Draco. He sent you the ointment specially. It's better for you to be cold. Your rumors have implicated him. I I believe he must have received a lot of criticism. "Michelle avenged Draco. Although this young Malfoy is usually very arrogant towards others, he really has nothing to say to Nydia. of.

"This really gives me a headache. I just don't know what to say to him. I can't find the right words. I hope I can do something for him, but I don't know what I can do for him." I don’t know since when, whenever she saw Draco, Nidia would feel a little nervous in her heart for no reason. She could not help but think in her heart, if this happened to Astor, Leah, what would she do.

"Prepare a gift for him. Isn't Christmas coming soon? But I think you should say something to him first so that he knows that you are not angry with him because of the rumors. You need to know your previous behavior. "Michelle didn't finish her words, but Nidia already understood what she wanted to express.

"I'll find a chance to talk to him tomorrow. Besides, I think we need to take some time to go to Hogsmeade." Since the beginning of this semester, because Snape has squeezed out very little spare time, so Ni Tia has never been to Hogsmeade once.

"I forgot to tell you about this. Fred told me before that the passage we took before collapsed and can no longer lead to Hogsmeade Village. He did not recommend us to use the other passages, saying It will get all dirty," Michelle said with some regret. "Fortunately, next year we can go through it openly, it won't be too long."

"Then I can only rely on newspapers to order gifts, but that's nothing special. I don't think Draco lacks anything that money can buy." Nidia fell into a headache. among.
