Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 48 Mrs. Zabini’s overtures

With the two witnesses of Draco and Blaise, although Mr. Field was suspicious of Nydia and Michelle's whereabouts in the morning, he did not ask too many questions.

During lunch, Mrs. Zabini sat next to Mr. Field as Nidia expected, but she did not just chat with Mr. Field like last time at Malfoy Manor. This time her chat partner became Nydia, she kept asking Nydia about her hobbies and whether she had a good time at school. She expressed regret that Nydia could not enter Slytherin, because she felt that if Nydia entered Slytherin, Lin could ask Blaise to take care of her, but she also pointed out that since Nydia entered Gryffindor, she would definitely have a good development in Gryffindor.

Mrs. Zabini's series of questions and words of concern made Nidia a little overwhelmed. She was not very good at this kind of communication. Coupled with Mrs. Zabini's slightly deliberate attempt to please, Nidia was often confused. She didn’t know how to answer, so she could only try her best to remain polite and smile. Several times, Nidia glanced at Mr. Field for help, but Mr. Field pretended not to see it and continued to eat the food on his plate silently. .

After lunch, Mrs. Zabini extended an invitation to Nidia to go for a walk by the lake. Just when Nidia felt that she had no choice but to accept, Blaise came out to help her out.

"We have made an appointment in the morning to practice flying broomsticks in the open space in front after lunch. Draco has bought a new broom. We want to accompany him to try out its performance. I think Mr. Field will accompany his mother to the lake. It’s more appropriate to go! He must know more than Nitya.”

Although Nitya didn't know anything about the new broom, she still nodded very cooperatively. So in the end, the task of accompanying Mrs. Zabini for a walk returned to Mr. Field. Mrs. Zabini seemed to be more satisfied with the result. The smile on her face unconsciously rose a little higher, but Mr. Field accepted it with a smile. , but Nitya still caught a flash of helplessness in his eyes. But since he deliberately avoided Nidia's look for help during lunch just now, Nidia chose to turn a blind eye to his expression of helplessness.

"She just doesn't know how to please people." After Mrs. Zabini and Mr. Field left, Brace explained to Nidia. "In the past, it was only for others to please her."

"Your mother is indeed very beautiful, and it is not unusual to have many suitors." Nidia was indeed a little surprised when she saw Mrs. Zabini for the first time. She was different from her mother's soft and gentle beauty. Her beauty is even more striking, making it difficult not to notice her in the crowd.

"So I think she is really attracted to your father this time. She has never been as helpless as she is now to please others." Blaise said with emotion as he watched Mrs. Zabini go away.

"How old are you? Why do you sound like you understand emotions?" Michelle couldn't help but interjected.

"Although I am not old, I have a lot of experience! Don't you know that my mother had seven husbands?"

Blaise's expression seemed a little proud when he said these words. In fact, Nidia had heard some rumors about Mrs. Zabini, but the evaluation was not very good. Many people had doubts about the cause of her seventh husband's death. As suspected, Nidia never asked Brace about these things, because she thought it might be a counter scale of Brace that could not be touched. But at this moment, Brace himself said this, so that Nidia Ya was a little surprised.

"Don't you care?" Nitya couldn't help asking her question.

"What do you care about? Do you mean you care about her getting married seven times or do you care about the rumors?"

"I'm sorry, I asked a little abruptly."

"No, you don't have to be embarrassed to ask. To me, my mother's happiness is the most important. I don't have to expect everyone to understand you, and you don't have to understand everyone." Blaise suddenly changed his usual cynical attitude. His attitude and eyes became extra serious.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Don't let other people's comments affect your happiness." This was the first time Nidia saw such a serious Brace, and she couldn't help but look at him differently.

"What about you? Will you oppose my mother's pursuit of your father because of those rumors?"

"I'm the same as you, as long as my father is happy." Nidia's attitude towards this matter has always been this.

"Why are you two so serious all of a sudden? Just let your parents solve their emotional problems themselves. Why are you worrying so much!" Michelle, who couldn't stand the serious atmosphere, couldn't help complaining.

"I am having spiritual communication with my sister in advance." Blaise immediately switched back to his playful and smiling attitude.

"Tch, sister, it's better not to call too early. Handsome men like Mr. Field are in high demand. If your mother doesn't work harder, she will probably die." Michelle said disdainfully.

"It sounds like you like Mr. Field very much. Could it be that you want to be my mother's love rival?"

"If your mother hasn't taken down Mr. Field by the time I'm eighteen, I won't mind stepping in."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a shame that Nidia considers you her best friend, but you want to be her mother!" Brace shook his head and looked at Michelle with an expression that showed Nidia being unkind to others.

The conversation between the two became more and more outrageous. Nidia was speechless as she listened. Just when Nidia was thinking about how to end this outrageous topic, Draco, who had been silent, came over. , grabbed Nitya and strode away.

"Don't worry about them two, just let them talk nonsense here!" Draco looked like he didn't want to talk to these two people at all.

Nydia found that Draco was holding a broomstick that he had taken out at some point. Then she recalled that this was probably the new broomstick that Blaise had said to help Draco try out. .

"What model of broom is this? It looks very similar to Harry's Nimbus 2000!" Nydia looked closely at the writing on the broom, "Nimbus 2001? Is this the latest model?"

"This is not comparable to his Nimbus 2000." Draco said angrily. He didn't understand why Nydia could always think of Potter.

"Will you join the Slytherin Quidditch team?"

"Of course, I want Potter to know that Quidditch can't be won by luck or trickery."

After saying that, Draco got on the broomstick and kicked off the ground with his feet. His speed was very fast. Nydia could clearly feel that the speed of Nimbus 2001 was higher than that of Nimbus 2000.

From time to time, Draco changed some tricks in the air that Nydia couldn't name. He did fly very well, but the feeling was different from Harry's. Nydia couldn't help but compare the two in her mind. Draco's flying skills were obviously trained after a lot of practice, and his movements were very beautiful and graceful. But Harry was different. Every time he There doesn't seem to be much particularity when riding a broomstick. Some of the movements can even be said to be a bit funny, but he can control the position of the broom just right every time. It's more like an instinct. He was born with the broomstick. They are integrated. This may be the so-called talent. If Draco found out about these thoughts in Nydia's mind, he would definitely be angry and say that Harry's methods were inferior.

"It seems Harry is going to have a strong rival!" Michelle had walked over at some point.

"That's right, this guy was very dissatisfied with Porter's exception for joining the school team last semester." Blaise also came over.

"But I still think Harry will win." Michelle said very confidently.

"Please allow me to remind you that you didn't seem to win the Quidditch championship last term."

"That's because Harry didn't play in the last game."

"Quidditch is a team game and cannot be won by one person."

"The Weasley brothers are also very powerful." Michelle said reluctantly.

"Well, it's pretty good, but they have to be able to afford a good broom." Blaise pointed at Draco in the sky, "They can't keep up with this speed."

"The Quidditch field is only so big. No matter how fast you fly, you still have to fly within the field. Skill is far more important than speed." Michelle was not to be outdone.

Nidia looked at Michelle and Brace arguing with each other. She felt speechless. How could these two people choke so easily?
