Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Istel Carlo made the atmosphere in the whole room become a little dull. The atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before. Nydia didn't say too much anymore. Most of the time, she just sat quietly on Draco's bed. Beside her, watching him chatting with several other people, she could vaguely feel Easter Carlo's eyes on her, but she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Soon a house elf came over to inform them that the dinner was about to begin. Goyle and Crabbe couldn't wait to get up and walk outside. Blaise and Malfoy also got up and followed. Nydia walked at the end, just behind her. When she was about to cross the door, Ister Carlo grabbed her wrist from behind.

"I'm sorry!" Before Nitya could ask, Ister Carlo quickly said, "I didn't mean to say that."

"But you've already said it, haven't you?" Nidia shook off Ister Carlo's hand, "Just apologizing will not necessarily lead to forgiveness."

After saying that, Nydia turned around and quickly followed Draco's pace. Theodore Nott, who was walking at the end, looked at Istel Carlo with a strange look when he saw the scene just now.

"I just wanted to..." Istel Carlo wanted to tell him that he just wanted to apologize to Nydia, but Theodore Nott did not intend to listen to his explanation.

"You don't have to explain anything to me." Theodore Nott interrupted Ister Carlo, "I'm not interested in what's going on between you, and people who know too many things usually have no good results. ”

After saying that, Theodore Nott quickly walked past Easter Carlo.

Several people came to the restaurant together. The place was very gorgeously decorated. There was a long banquet table in the center, with various delicacies already placed on it. However, the dinner did not start immediately. The guests continued to chat with each other for a while. At the same time, Lucius called Draco to his side and introduced him to the others. Although he couldn't hear clearly what they said from the distance, he couldn't tell from their expressions that they must be saying some compliments. if.

But not everyone is like this. Although some people are smiling and nodding on the surface, their eyes are full of disdain, especially the Yaxley and Carlo brothers whom Nidia met outside the door. See It turns out that they are very ambitious people.

The dinner began, and everyone sat down at the banquet table. Nidia sat next to her father Ward, and on the other side of her was Brace. Because they didn’t want to attract too much attention, they sat in the same position as Germany. The master's seat where Laco is located is some distance away.

"There has been no progress in the Department of Mysteries, but Lucius is holding a banquet here with great fanfare." After Lucius stood up and spoke to all the guests, Alecto Carlo said in a mocking tone, she Her position was right next to Blaise, and she didn't deliberately lower her voice, so Nidia heard all her words.

"We are not arranged to participate in this matter. We don't need to worry about it. I believe some people are waiting to see his failure!" Amycus Carlo responded to his sister's words and turned to Yaxley. glanced in the direction.

Several people sitting near the two brothers and sisters must have heard their conversation, but no one responded to their conversation, instead focusing on the food in front of them.

Department of Mysteries? This sounds like it is an agency of the Ministry of Magic, but Nidia is not familiar with the Ministry of Magic, so she does not know what this agency is responsible for. Judging from the conversation between the Carrow brothers and sisters, it seems that Voldemort is working on this agency. What kind of plot is there, but there is no progress yet? Could this be related to the attack on Mr. Weasley?

"Do you know what the Department of Mysteries does?" Nidia pulled her father Ward's sleeve and asked him quietly.

"This is not your business." Ward said sternly. He knew that Nydia must have had such doubts because she heard the conversation between the Carlo brothers and sisters. She wanted to know Voldemort's actions.

"But……"

Before Nidia finished speaking, there was a commotion at the scene. All the Death Eaters present covered the backs of their hands in panic, including Ward. Nidia looked at him in horror. , then quickly grabbed his arm, trying to pull up his sleeve to see his arm, but Ward stopped her action.

"He's here!" Ward grabbed Nidia's wrist tightly with his backhand, his eyes full of worry, and Nidia could feel Ward's body shaking slightly through his wrist.

"How could he...didn't he say that he didn't like to attend such a banquet?" Nidia was so panicked that she didn't know what kind of state she should maintain at this moment.

"Yes in the past...but..." Ward touched Nitya's head and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, relax, no matter why he came here, just sit here quietly. Just fine.”

Nidia nodded, and then looked around. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were nervous, some were excited, and some even showed fear. Nydia felt Draco's worried eyes in the crowd, and she also looked in Draco's direction. She knew that Draco was worried about her, and she was also worried about Draco at this time. .

Lucius and Narcissa quickly stood up and walked out. Before leaving the restaurant, Narcissa cast a worried look in the direction of Nidia. Everyone else who stayed at the scene also stood up and everyone was respectful. Standing respectfully at the dining table, waiting for Voldemort's arrival.

"Don't worry, we are all by your side." Brace whispered to Nitya beside him.

"Thank you." Nidia felt warm in her heart.

"I'm your brother!" Blaise smiled and winked at Nidia. His words made Nidia feel much more relaxed.

Not long after, the door of the restaurant was opened again, and Voldemort appeared at the door in a black robe. Behind him, in addition to Lucius and Narcissa who went out to greet him, there was also an old friend of Nydia's who had not seen him for a long time, Peter Pettigrew. , although he followed Voldemort humbly, his expression as he looked at the crowd around him was as proud as if the person these people were waiting for at this moment was him.

Voldemort walked directly to the seat where Lucius was sitting. He first looked at Draco, who was standing next to him, and then glanced around at the other people present.

"You don't need to be formal. Today is Christmas. This is a day that should be spent with family, so I'm here." His expression was arrogant, as if he was giving some kind of reward to everyone present.

"It is our pleasure, Master."

I don't know who took the lead in saying this. Immediately, others began to flatter Voldemort, and Voldemort seemed to enjoy such flattery. He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"Lucius, I'm afraid I need you to add another seat for me, right here." Voldemort pointed to the gap between his and Draco's seats.

Lucius looked at his son, and then said to Voldemort, "This place and its location may affect your dining. I can ask my son to give up his seat. He can..."

"No, just add it here." Before Lucius could finish speaking, Voldemort interrupted him impatiently.

Seeing that Voldemort's expression had changed, Lucius did not dare to continue persuading him, so he had to follow the instructions and ask the house elf to bring another chair and place it between Voldemort and Draco.

"Nitya, come to the front and sit next to me."

After the chairs were placed, Voldemort spoke loudly to Nydia in the crowd. His words shocked everyone present and hit Nydia's heart like an electric current.
