Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 26 Return to Field Manor

Although her life at Hogwarts was fulfilling and happy, as time passed, Nydia still missed Felton Manor and Mr. Felton, so the Christmas holidays became particularly exciting.

This sentiment is very common among students. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the holiday, except for a few people, such as Harry. He doesn't want to go back to his uncle's house for Christmas at all, so when Professor McGonagall comes to register for detention, When the holiday list came up, he immediately signed it.

"Actually, you can go to Field Manor with me to spend Christmas. My father will welcome you very much." Nydia extended an invitation to Harry, but she felt guilty for him.

"Thank you for your kindness. I think staying here would be more suitable for me. It's okay. Ron will stay too." Harry said. He didn't feel sad at all. Instead, he was very happy to stay in school for the holidays.

"Yes, my parents are going to Romania to visit Charlie. Fred and George and I will stay, and of course Percy."

"It would be great to have a place to take in an unwanted child." Malfoy suddenly came over. During this period, he had been teasing Harry in different ways. Nydia guessed it was because of Qui It was because the Slytherin team lost the game.

"What are you doing here?" Nydia frowned and looked at him. He didn't like Malfoy's ridicule of Harry's life experience.

"I just came here to send you a message for my mother." Nitya's attitude made Malfoy feel unhappy. "She asked me to ask you if you want to spend Christmas with your father at our house. You know, your family You and your father are deserted."

"I will convey this invitation to my father. I have to see what he means." Although the relationship between me and Malfoy is not as good as before, Aunt Narcissa is still as good to me as ever and often sends me some Bring snacks. "Thank Aunt Narcissa for me."

After receiving Nydia's answer, Malfoy said nothing more and turned to leave.

"You're not really going to their house for Christmas!" Ron on the side was not very happy to hear the news.

"I don't know, I have to see what my father wants." Nidia was a little unsure about whether to go, so she still wanted to see what her father suggested.

"Why don't you stay at school too? In fact, there are quite a few people staying." Ron suggested.

"No, I can't leave my father alone at home for the holidays," Nidia said.

"Okay!" Ron muttered. "I hope your father will refuse the Malfoy family's invitation."

After the holiday, I returned to Field Manor. The place was still the same as before, with no changes. Although I had only been away for a few months, Nidia felt that a long time had passed.

"How is my little girl's school life? Is she causing trouble everywhere?" Nidia's return made Mr. Field very happy, although they often exchanged letters.

"It's great. I've made a lot of friends and learned a lot of new things. You can't imagine how good my potions can be now." Under Snape's punishment, Nydia's potion skills improved by leaps and bounds. Now even Snape had a hard time finding fault with it, but he was still very stingy in his praise.

"It seems that Snape is a good teacher." Mr. Field smiled.

"Have you known Professor Snape before?" Nydia came back with many questions.

"We were classmates at Hogwarts. I never expected that he would become a teacher with his personality. I can't imagine him preaching to students with a cold face."

"I don't have to imagine, I see him every week. It's so scary. His class is our nightmare." Although Nydia is no longer so afraid of Snape.

"But he's a good guy, he's just not very expressive," Mr Field said.

"He doesn't like Harry very much." Nydia originally wanted to say that Snape didn't like her either, but thinking about their recent interactions, she felt that he didn't seem that bad to her.

"Haha, Harry's father may be blamed for this. James did a lot of bullying to Snape when he was studying."

"So that's the case, but no matter what, he shouldn't have the intention to kill Harry!"

"Kill Harry? Why do you have such an idea?" Mr. Field asked doubtfully.

Nydia told Mr. Field exactly what happened, including Harry's suspicions about the theft from Gringotts.

"Snape may indeed be targeting Harry because of James, but he will never go to the extent of killing him. As for Quirrell, I know very little about him, but I think he should be the problem. The key." Mr. Field frowned and thought. What was originally a casual chat suddenly turned serious.

"I also think that although Snape is a bit strict, he would not do such a thing." Nydia said. "I find this Quirrell very strange. Would Dumbledore really choose such a submissive person to be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts? I think he is not as good at teaching as he is at reading books himself."

"Dumbledore always has his reasons for doing things. By the way, did he notice anything about you?" Mr. Field asked.

"No, I have never seen him except for the school dinner and the Halloween dinner." Nidia understood what Mr. Field was worried about.

"Since the things in Gringotts have been protected by Dumbledore, I don't think you need to interfere anymore. Even if Quirrell's goal is to steal it, it's not like trying to get it from Dumbledore. It's an easy thing." Mr. Field didn't want Nydia to get involved in trouble. "As for Harry Potter, his existence is quite special. Even if he doesn't cause trouble himself, trouble will come to him. I hope you can stay away from him."

"Harry is my friend, do you want me to abandon my friend?" Nydia did not expect that Mr. Field would actually let herself stay away from Harry. Snape had also said this before.

"I'm not asking you to abandon your friends, I'm just trying to keep a distance. Your identities are destined to make it difficult for you to become close friends. The better you get along now, the more harm you may do in the future." Field had to remind Nettie. At this point, although Nitya will not take the initiative to disclose her identity, it is difficult to guarantee that she can hide it for a lifetime.

"I... thought about this problem, but I feel that Harry is very pitiful. I can't help but want to help him. I always feel that I owe him something." The more familiar she became with Harry, the more worried Nidia became. His identity was exposed not only to Harry, but also to Michelle, Ron, Hermione, the twin brothers, and all the friends he met at school. What would they think of him if they knew his identity?

"Nidia, it's not you who owes him. You don't need to feel such a burden." Mr. Field comforted Nidia.

"I can't help but think so." Nidia lowered her head. "By the way, Aunt Narcissa invited us to spend Christmas at Malfoy Manor."

"I know, she also wrote me a letter. What do you think, it might indeed be more lively with them." Mr. Field asked Nidia.

"I can't tell, you know I'm on bad terms with Malfoy right now. I'm worried about not causing trouble for Aunt Narcissa in the past."

"The fact that you are so worried means that you still have the idea of ​​​​going there. Then I will reply to Narcissa and say that we will go there to celebrate the festival." Mr. Field understands Nydia, and she sometimes thinks too much about other people's feelings. Ignore your own thoughts. "Maybe this holiday is an opportunity to repair your relationship with Draco, but not necessarily!"

"Maybe he doesn't want to!" Nidia curled her lips. "He always tries to find ways to cause trouble for Gryffindor students. I think he really hates Gryffindor students."

"Young boys sometimes use stupid methods to attract attention." Mr. Field smiled.

"What do you mean?" Nidia didn't understand what Mr. Field meant.

"You will understand when you are older." Mr. Field touched Nitya's head. "I'm going to reply to Narcissa. You'd better prepare the gifts as soon as possible. It's not too rude to visit someone else's home for the first time."

"I understand," Nidia replied. After being led by the twin brothers to visit Hogsmeade, Nydia and Michelle secretly went there several times. The Christmas gifts were basically ready. She just hoped they wouldn't be too disappointing.

If Ron knew that he was going to Malfoy Manor for Christmas, he might be so angry that he would ignore him for several days. Let’s not talk about it for now.
