Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After the result of Buckbeak's last verdict came out, Hermione and Michelle did not give up. They decided to assist Hagrid in the appeal again. This time even Ron participated.

"How did it turn out?" Nidia asked Michelle.

"The sentence has been changed. Buckbeak will not be executed, but will be taken away by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic and will be imprisoned forever." Although it is something to be happy that he will not be executed, but after losing Freedom is still very painful for a Hippogriff.

"Be content. This is the most merciful result." Draco said angrily.

"As long as it won't be executed, you can find other ways to rescue it in the future." Nidia comforted Michelle.

"You came here just for this boring thing." Draco was still worried about the untimely appearance of Michelle and Blaise.

"We're leaving now and you continue." Blaise pulled Michelle and left quickly.

"Let's go. I have to go to Lupin's office." Nidia felt very embarrassed. Now even if Blaise and Michelle left, the atmosphere just now was completely destroyed. Thinking back to what happened just now, Looking at the scene, I was even a little embarrassed to look directly into Draco's eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

Nydia thought for a moment, then looked at Draco, "Can you come with me?" She didn't want to hide anything from Draco anymore.

Although Draco didn't know what Nydia was going to do, he still nodded.

The two of them came to Lupine's office together. No one was there. Lupine might still have some exam matters to deal with, so Nydia and Draco walked around in his office.

"Didn't he have a job before he came to Hogwarts to be a teacher?" Draco looked at some of Lupin's personal belongings with a look of disgust, "They are in tatters."

"Perhaps there is really no job. After all, it is quite troublesome for him to find a suitable job due to his status." Nidia sympathized with Lupine from the bottom of her heart.

"His identity" Draco looked at Nydia in confusion.

"Well, I'll tell you this later." Now that I've told Draco, he will definitely find it difficult to accept it for a while, and it will be bad if he shows any rude behavior in front of Lupine later, "The Marauder's Map"

Nydia was surprised to find that the Marauder's Map was actually placed on Lupine's desk, but again, without the spell, the Marauder's Map looked like an ordinary piece of parchment.

"What map?" Draco suddenly realized that there seemed to be many things he didn't know. He came forward to see what was going on, "Isn't this just a piece of parchment?"

"This is more than just parchment," Nidia took out her wand and tapped the Marauder's Map lightly, "I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things."

A map of Hogwarts Castle immediately appeared on the originally blank parchment, and there were many small black dots moving around on it. Draco looked at the Marauder's Map and was speechless in surprise.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Nydia pointed to the location of Lupin's office on the map, "Look, this is us."

"Nitya, here's your name on it." Draco was surprised to find that Nitya's name on the map did not have any surname attached to it, it was just a first name.

"I've discovered this before. I don't know the specific reason, but I guess it may be because Voldemort changed his name and abandoned the surname Riddle." Nidia felt lucky for this, otherwise she would His identity has long been hidden.

"Why is there such a map, and why do you know how to use it?" Judging from what Nidia said, she seemed to have known about the existence of this map for a long time.

"This map was made by several former students of the school. It was later taken away by Filch, but he didn't know how to use it. Then it was stolen by Fred and George. They knew it based on this map. Secret passages throughout the school, and then they gave the map to Harry so that he could go to Hogsmeade Village. Finally, some time ago, the map was confiscated by Lupine. "Nidia said to Della. Cote recounted his experience of the Marauder's Map, "I first saw it from Fred and George. When we were in first grade, they took Michelle and I to Hogsmeade."

"So to put it simply, this is your Gryffindor student's aid when you break school rules, isn't it?"

"Well, that's not wrong." Indeed, every time they use the Marauder's Map, they do something that violates school rules, and the creators of this map are also Gryffindor students.

"I suddenly feel that there are far more things I don't know than I thought." Draco frowned and looked at Nydia.

"I'll tell you everything bit by bit." Nydia reached out to smooth Draco's frown, "I promise."

"That's pretty much it." Draco nodded with satisfaction.

Nydia continued to check everyone's movements on the map. Suddenly her eyes were attracted by a name at Hagrid's hut. It was Peter Pettigrew. He was actually hiding in Hagrid's hut. He left the castle. This was A great opportunity to grab it.

"What did you find?" Draco noticed Nydia's suddenly excited expression and leaned over to check, "Peter Pettigrew, who is this in Hagrid's house? Is this someone assigned by the Ministry of Magic to enforce the law?"

"No, Peter Pettigrew was the one who really betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort. He was the one who caused Sirius to be imprisoned in Azkaban." Nydia explained to Draco.

"So Sirius is really innocent and you have been helping him, right? You have been assisting him since the first time he sneaked into the castle." No wonder Nydia was so determined to say that Sirius was innocent at that time. "But why is this Peter Pettigrew in Hagrid's house?"

"Do you remember Ron's rat Scabbers?"

"Remember, it bit Goyle once. What does this have to do with Weasley's rat?" Draco didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned a rat.

"That's not a mouse, but an Animagus. It's Peter Pettigrew. We need to catch it. Only by catching it can we clear Sirius's name."

The amount of information received in one moment was too much for Draco to digest.

"I'll tell you more about these things later. I have to find Sirius now. This is a good opportunity to seize Peter Pettigrew and I can't miss it again."

"I'll go with you." Although it wasn't clear yet, Draco still realized that this should be a dangerous thing.

"No, Draco, you stay here." Nydia said to Draco, "I need you to help me tell Lupine these things, let him see Peter Pettigrew on the map, and he will understand. ”

"But" Draco was worried about Nydia being alone.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. You can see everything about me on the map."

After saying that, Nydia left in a hurry. Draco kept staring at the small black dot with Nydia's name on the Marauder's Map, and saw her disappear after entering a passage in the Whomping Willow. Draco became a little anxious. He turned his eyes to Hagrid's hut. He found that there were several more people in Hagrid's hut at this moment. They were Harry and the three of them. What were they doing there? Do they also know? What about all this

Just as Draco began to wonder whether he should go directly to Nydia, Lupine finally returned.

"Malfoy" Lupine was a little surprised that Draco actually appeared here, "I thought it was Nydia waiting here."

"She went to find Sirius," Draco said to him anxiously when Lupine finally returned. "She saw Peter Pettigrew on the Marauder's Map. She said that only by catching Peter Pettigrew can Sirius be cleared."

"Where are they?" Lupine walked quickly to the desk and looked at the Marauder's Map.

At this time, a black dot with Sirius' name appeared on the map. He was entangled with Harry and several others. There seemed to be some fights. Finally, Sirius disappeared with Ron and Peter Pettigrew. The Whomping Willow passage.

"They went to the Shrieking Shack." Lupine turned to leave.

"I'll go too."

"This could be dangerous for you"

"I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm telling you that I'll go too." Before Lupine could tell me, Draco interrupted him and said without refusal.

"Okay, get your wand." Seeing Draco's firm attitude, Lupine knew that he couldn't stop him.

Nydia was anxiously waiting for Sirius' return in the Shrieking Shack. Soon she heard the sound of someone coming in, as well as the sounds of struggling and shouting. Was he caught?

She looked towards the door and saw Padfoot holding a struggling man in his mouth and dragging him into the house, but this man was not Peter Pettigrew.

"Oh my God, Ron." Nidia walked forward in surprise to check on Ron. His foot had been bitten bloody by Padfoot.

"Nitya, have you been arrested too?" Ron looked at Nitya in horror.

"You're about to bite his foot off, why do you want to catch Ron?" Nydia yelled at Padfoot angrily.

Padfoot let go of Ron, and then changed back to Sirius. Ron looked at what was happening in front of him in horror, and was too surprised to say anything.

"I can't hide it in him, so I can only drag this kid over here." Sirius looked at Ron with excited eyes, as if he were looking at prey.

"You are with him." Ron looked at Nidia in surprise and said angrily, "How could you do this? He wants to kill Harry. How could you betray your friends?"

"He won't kill Harry." Nydia took out some fresh liquid and simply applied it on Ron's wound, then turned to look at Sirius, "By the way, Harry, you are doing this in front of him Did you bring Ron here?"

"Yes, they were together with a girl."

"What, they knew that Ron was taken away and they couldn't just leave it alone. They didn't know that the mechanism of the Whomping Willow would be dangerous." Nidia felt a headache. She got up and walked outside, "I'll go take a look. Regarding Harry’s situation, you need to deal with him first.”

"What have you done with me? Are you going to kill me?" What Nidia said was referring to Peter Pettigrew, but Ron didn't know it. He looked at Nidia in panic, "You You can’t do this, Nitya, how could you do such a thing?”

"What are you thinking about?" Nidia looked at Ron angrily, "I'll explain it to you later."

Nydia was worried about the situation of Harry and Hermione, and left in a hurry without having time to explain the details of the matter to Ron.
