Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 8 The Lost Toad

The door of the compartment was opened again, but this time it was no longer the twin brothers who came in, but a little girl with a crying round-faced boy. When they entered, Ron was preparing to perform a spell he had learned from his twin brother to Nydia and Harry.

"Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad." The girl who opened the door was speaking, and her tone seemed a bit arrogant.

"We didn't see it," Ron answered her.

"Oh, are you casting magic? Then let's open our eyes." The girl ignored what Ron said and only looked at the wand in his hand.

She sat down, and Ron was visibly startled and a little overwhelmed.

"Okay." Ron cleared his throat. "Daisies, sweet cream and sunshine. Turn this silly fat mouse yellow."

Ron waved his wand, but nothing happened. His pet rat Scabbers was still gray and sleeping soundly. Nidia felt that this was not like a spell. Ron should have been deceived by his brother, but Coni Tia was embarrassed to hit Ron, so she didn't say anything.

"Are you sure this is really a spell?" The girl on the side saw that Ron's spell didn't work and said, "It doesn't look good, right? I tried a few simple spells at home, just for practice, and they all worked. It works, no one in my family knows magic, so when I got the admission notice, I was very surprised, but also very happy, because, I mean, as far as I know, this is the best school Magic school—I know all the textbooks by heart,"

The girl's words surprised Nydia. She was a girl from a Muggle family, but she had already tried the spell and it worked, and she had memorized all the textbooks. Are all children from Muggle families so powerful? Thinking of this, Nitya couldn't help but look at Harry. Harry's expression was not good. It seemed that the girl's words had a big impact on Harry. He had always been worried that he was not as good as others.

"Of course, I just hope this works - my name is Hermione Granger, by the way, what are your names?" The girl was still talking rapidly.

"Ron Weasley"

"Nitya Field"

"Harry Potter"

"Is it really you?" Hermione looked at Harry in surprise. "I know everything about you. Of course, I bought a few more reference books, "Modern History of Magic", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", " "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", you are mentioned in these books."

"Mentioned me?" Harry was puzzled.

"Oh my god, you don't know. If it were me, I would definitely find a way to find all the books that mention me." Hermione said, "Do you know which house you will be assigned to? I've asked everywhere. , I hope to be sorted into Gryffindor, they say it is the best, I heard that Dumbledore graduated from there, but I think Ravenclaw is not too bad anyway. Said, we'd better go find Neville's toad first.

Would you like to help me find it together? "

"Let me help you find the toad." Nidia felt that this boy named Neville was quite pitiful. He was obviously here to help him find the toad, but throughout the whole process, he seemed to be forgotten in a corner and had no sense of existence. There was no guarantee that Hermione would be chatting by herself again as before in the next cubicle.

Harry and Ron chose to stay in the compartment, and I left the compartment with Hermione and Neville to help find the toad.

"Thank you" the round-faced boy sobbed again "My name is Neville Longbottom."

"You're welcome, do you remember where you last saw it?" Nydia asked Neville.

"I asked him just now. He said he was in his compartment. After putting his luggage, he turned around and disappeared. No one else in the same compartment noticed either." Hermione answered first.

"Toads like moisture by nature. When was the last time you fed it water?" Nidia continued to ask Neville.

"Morning? Oh no, it was last night, etc. It should have been yesterday afternoon," Neville thought again. "It seems like it was yesterday morning. I can't remember exactly. Yesterday I was busy preparing to bring luggage to school. "

"Okay! I think we should go to a place with water." Nydia guessed that Neville must have forgotten to feed his toad water for a long time.

"The only places with water on the train are the toilets and the restaurant. The restaurant is in Car No. 5, which is a bit far away. Let's split up! I'll go to the restaurant and have a look, and you guys will go to the toilets in each car separately," Hermione said.

After Hermione finished speaking, she immediately took action, and Nydia and Neville also began to search the carriages separately.

When Nidia was about to enter the toilet in Car No. 7 to search, a blond girl walked in ahead of her. Nidia had to wait for her to come out before checking, but she screamed shortly after entering. Voice.

"Oh my God! What is this!"

"What happened?" Nydia asked into the toilet, guessing that Neville's toad was probably in there.

The toilet door was opened, and the blond girl came out, holding a toad in her hand. Nidia's guess was indeed correct.

"A toad! There is actually a toad in the toilet!" The girl felt a little unbelievable.

"I'm sorry, I think this should be the toad I'm looking for." Nidia reached out to take the toad in the girl's hand, and the girl immediately handed the toad to Nidia in disgust.

"Is this yours? Your pet is actually a toad?" the girl asked Nitya in confusion.

"Um, no, that's not true. This belongs to Neville. He lost the toad and is crying very sadly. Another girl named Hermione and I are helping him find it!" Nydia explained to the girl.

"I just said how could a girl keep a toad as a pet!"

"My name is Nydia Fields, freshman, can you?"

"My name is Michelle Elaine, and I am also a first-year student."

"Elaine? Are you from a Muggle family?" This surname is rare in the wizarding world.

"Half and half, my mother is a wizard and my father is a Muggle. However, I have been exposed to the wizarding world with my mother since I was very young, so I am not unfamiliar with the wizarding world. I have heard about your family."

"Haha, really! It's really well known." It seems that the Field family's reputation in the wizarding world is greater than Nydia imagined.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. I don't think a girl who helps others find toads is a bad person. Birth doesn't mean everything."

"Nice to meet you, Michelle." Michelle's cheerfulness surprised Nidia.

"Nice to meet you too." Michelle grinned at Nitya, with two small dimples appearing on her lips, which was very contagious and made people unable to help but laugh with you.

"I really want to talk to you more, but I have to hurry up and return the toad to Neville. They are still in a hurry!" Nydia thought that Hermione and Neville were still looking for the toad, so she had to hurry up. Notify them of the news.

"It's okay, go ahead! See you at school."
