Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 12 Sorting Ceremony (2)

The originally empty gold plate had been filled with various delicacies for some time. Only then did Nidia remember that she had not eaten anything since she got on the train. I had been worried about the sorting issue before, but I didn't think much about it at all, but now I realized that I was already hungry.

Nidia began to eat various delicacies on the table, and people around her began to chat. Some introduced their families, and some introduced their experiences. Sir Nicholas, the ghost of the academy, also showed everyone that he almost lost it. head. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. It was the first time for Nidia to be among so many people of the same age, and she was in a very good mood. But just when her eyes passed through the crowd and met Draco at the Slytherin Academy table, her heart skipped a beat. Draco's expression was very bad, and he kept staring at Nettie. Ah, his eyes were full of doubts. The place where Pansy was sitting next to him turned into the ghost of Slytherin - Bloody Baron for some reason.

"What's wrong? Nidia." Harry next to him asked Nidia.

"Yes, it's Draco, he seems very unhappy." Nydia said

"Bloody Barrow is sitting next to me. I don't think anyone will be happy!" Harry said, "I don't know how he ended up covered in blood."

"I'm worried that he will be angry with me because of the sorting." Nydia expressed her worries to Harry. "I was supposed to go to Slytherin."

"But you don't want to go, do you?" said Harry

"Yeah, I don't want to go."

"You have a good relationship with him?" Harry asked Nydia. In fact, Harry had wanted to ask Nydia before when he saw Nydia standing with Draco.

"He was my first friend." Nydia felt guilty as she recalled Draco's happy expression when he mentioned that they would be in the same house.

"He is your friend, and I can't judge him..." Harry said, "But, Nydia, if he is really a friend, he should be able to understand that you don't want to go to Slytherin. "

"Will he really understand?"

"...Maybe!" Harry wasn't sure. Draco had left a very bad impression on him from the beginning. He reminded him of his annoying cousin Dudley.

Nydia didn't know if Draco would understand her as Harry said, but Harry's words still gave Nydia some comfort.

The dinner was almost over, everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and the last dessert was gone. Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the restaurant instantly became quiet.

"Now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I want to put forward some precautions to you. Attention first-year students, students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Enter. Some of our classmates from the old class should also remember this." Dumbledore glanced at the Weasley twins. "Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also asked me to remind everyone. Please do not perform magic in the corridors. The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in participating in the college varsity team should contact Mrs. Huo Qi. Finally, I must tell everyone that if you do not want to. People who have suffered an accident or died in pain should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.”

Harry next to Nydia laughed, and some people also laughed, but only a very small number of people. Nitya felt that this seemed to be a very serious warning.

"He's not serious," Harry asked Percy secretly, finding the atmosphere a little awkward. Percy is Ron's older brother and a Gryffindor prefect. He was very different from his twin brother. He behaved very well. Nydia had heard him discussing homework with Hermione earlier.

"Impossible. The strange thing is that wherever we are not allowed to go, he usually explains the reasons. For example, there are many dangerous beasts in the woods. Everyone knows this. I think he should at least make it clear to our prefects. "Percy said.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling like a snake above the high dining table, forming lines of text.

"Everyone chooses a tune he likes." Dumbledore said, "Get ready and sing!"

Soon, scattered singing sounded in the restaurant. Nidia had been exposed to very little music since she was a child, and she didn't know what kind of tune to use. The only thing she could recall in her mind was the one sung by the Sorting Hat just now. It was a lame tune, so Nitya simply followed its tune.

Finally, the song ended, and Dumbledore announced that the students in each house should go back to their dormitories to go to bed.

The first years of Gryffindor followed behind Percy, who led the new students to the Gryffindor House common room.

Just when she walked out of the restaurant door, Nidia's hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. When Nidia turned around, she saw Draco with a gloomy face.

"Nitya, I can ask my father. I will write to him later and tell him all this. This must be a mistake. He is a member of the school board. He must have a way to change you back to Sri Lanka. Lezhelin's." Draco was a little excited.

"Draco, you will cause trouble for your father. The Sorting Hat will never make a mistake. She does not belong to Slytherin." Pansy also followed.

Nydia was about to explain to Draco when her other hand was also grabbed by someone. It was Harry. He pulled Nydia towards him.

"Let go of your hand Malfoy, Nydia doesn't want to go to Slytherin," Harry said.

"What are you talking about? Damn it, don't think I didn't see it. What did you say to Nydia during the sorting? I will tell the dean what method you used to deceive the sorting hat." Draco said angrily. Harry said that he did not let go of Nidia's hand, but pulled Nidia harder towards him.

"Draco, you're hurting me." Nydia's wrists hurt from being pulled by the two of them.

"I'm sorry," Draco said, but his hand didn't loosen, but he didn't hold it as hard.

"Draco, this has nothing to do with Harry, it's all my own idea. I don't want to go to Slytherin. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before, because I didn't even expect that I would be sorted. Other houses," Nydia explained to Draco.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Draco looked at Nydia in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to follow the footsteps of my family. I want to follow my own path." Nidia said, she hoped Draco could understand her.

Nydia's words made Draco loosen his grip on his hand, and Pansy on the side couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw them.

"Look! Draco, I just said that people are arrogant and would rather be friends with the savior Harry Potter." Pansy's words made Nydia frown slightly. She was misinterpreting the meaning of her words. .

"Is that so? You chose Harry Potter as your friend, not me." Draco asked Nydia.

"No, Draco, I just don't want to be in Slytherin, we are still friends!" Nydia explained to Draco that she didn't mean what Pansy said.

"No, we are not friends anymore." After saying that, Draco turned around and left without looking back.

"Get along well with your savior friend!" Pansy smiled proudly, then turned around to catch up with Draco.

Nidia also wanted to catch up, but her hand was held by Harry.

"Nitya, it's time for us to go back to the college lounge." Harry said to Nitya

"Yes! Nidia, you see, everyone else has already gone far away. We won't be able to keep up." Ron, who had been silent behind Harry, said. He didn't like Draco, but he thought Nydia was a nice person, so it was the best thing for him to have a clear relationship with Nydia.

"What are you still doing? Why don't you follow me? It's going to be bedtime soon." Percy called to the three of them from a distance. He walked halfway and found that there was no one there, so he turned back to look for them.

Reluctantly, Nydia had no choice but to give up and follow Percy's pace. Draco was furious at the moment. Even if she really caught up with him, Draco would definitely not be able to listen to her apology. He might as well find another chance in the future.
