【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

Esther was a little confused about the direction of the plot at this time.

No, there is indeed a section in the original book where Professor Lupine teaches Harry the Patronus Charm, but how did she get involved?

Why is she here? ?

Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out.

So Esther raised her hand: "Can I ask, Professor, why do you suddenly want to teach me and Harry the Patronus Charm?"

Professor Lupine explained: "Harry told me that you know a lot about dementors, so you also know that Harry is vulnerable to attacks by dementors, so for his safety, I decided to teach him the Patronus Charm."

"As for why I called you here, it's because I know you know this spell, but you haven't fully mastered it yet. Firstly, I want you, who already have experience, to practice with Harry, which can help Harry master it faster. I also want to help you master this spell completely. It is always a little faster if someone teaches you than trying to figure it out on your own."

It sounds reasonable and no problem at all.

Although Esther still felt a little strange, she didn't say anything.

She was a little frustrated that the Patronus Charm had never been completely successful, which would be a good thing if Professor Lupine was willing to teach her.

By the end of the class, Harry could already make his wand light up with a subtle silver light, while Esther had made no progress.

"There is nothing wrong with your gestures and intonation, and your energy is concentrated enough. Then the problem may be that when you cast the spell, the things in your memory were not happy enough."

Finally, Professor Lupine gave Esther some advice.

It's not that Esther hasn't thought about it, this is the reason why she couldn't successfully summon the patron saint, but she really doesn't know what to do.

Not to mention, at least she lived a happy life in this life. Her parents were loving and harmonious, and her family was wealthy and peaceful. If these memories couldn't successfully summon the patron saint, then she really didn't know what kind of happy memories could succeed.

She was slightly depressed.

Seeing that she was a little discouraged, Lu Ping quickly comforted her: "You don't have to be too impatient. The Patronus Charm is not an easy spell to practice. You are young, so it is normal for you to fail to cast it. Take your time and you will always be able to cast it successfully." One day I’ll figure out the trick.”

Esther could only nod.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know why you want to practice the Patronus Charm?"

After the class, Professor Lupine smiled and chatted with them.

Esther didn't think too much. She easily let down her guard against gentle and good-tempered people like Professor Lupine and Senior Cedric.

"Didn't some Death Eaters escape from Azkaban during the summer vacation? My father worked at the Ministry of Magic, so I knew about the news during the summer vacation. Then my father asked me about the relevant matters, and then After knowing about creatures like Dementors, I also learned about the spell Patronus Charm. I was just practicing it for fun at the time, but I never fully succeeded. I didn’t expect that I would actually use it.”

"So that's it." Professor Lu Ping nodded thoughtfully: "Thanks to you knowing this spell, you can save other students again and again."

Harry also nodded: "You saved Ginny on the court that day. The Weasley family are all very grateful to you."

Esther smiled sheepishly: "It's just a little effort."

Professor Lupine was very busy in the next few days and had no time to continue teaching them the Patronus Charm. He just asked them to practice more with each other.

Esther belatedly realized that perhaps Professor Lupine was not entirely there to teach him the Patronus Charm. He probably also wanted to test her.

What to test her for?

She is an ordinary second-year student, what is there to test?

Esther's first reaction was that she led Harry and the others to think about Sirius Black, but Dumbledore noticed it. Professor Lupine was sent by Dumbledore to test her.

She thought about what she said at the beginning, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The logic makes sense and there should be no problem.

And since neither Dumbledore, Professor Lupin, or any other teacher looked for her again, it was probably okay.

The only problem was that Harry was such an obedient baby. Professor Lupine asked them to practice the Patronus Charm on each other, and he came to Esther often.

It is not a big problem for a Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff to get closer. It is far less incredible than for a Gryffindor student and a Slytherin student to become good friends.

But the problem is that Harry is not an ordinary Gryffindor student. He also has the halo of the savior. Compared with ordinary students, he can be said to be the center of attention.

Coincidentally, Esther also happened to be a relatively famous girl, so after Harry approached Esther twice, some ambiguous rumors about Esther and Harry came out.

Esther was very helpless about this, so when the rumors first started to spread, she took Ernie with her wherever she went, including when practicing the Patronus Charm with Harry.

Of course, Harry usually takes Ron with him.

As for Hermione, since she has chosen all the elective courses, even with the help of the time converter, which can eliminate time conflicts between classes, the homework will not be reduced, so she is very busy most of the time. All the time is spent learning.

In order to find a suitable place to practice spells, Esther told Harry and the others the secret of the Room of Requirement, so they took some time every day to practice spells in the Room of Requirement.

On the last weekend of the semester, it was time to go to Hogsmeade again.

On this day, Harry came to Esther to practice spells as usual, because he was the only one among the third-year students and above who could not go to Hogsmeade, so he seemed a little depressed.

The practice during this period was actually quite effective, including Ron and Ernie who practiced with them, and like Harry, they were able to make the wand emit some silver light.

Esther has also made some progress. She can already emit a ball of light, which vaguely seems to have a shape, but it is not clear and not quite formed.

Practice ended quickly due to Harry's absentmindedness today.

"Actually, I really want to go to Hogsmeade. Although I'm not old enough, it would be fun to sneak there." Looking at Harry who was feeling depressed, Esther comforted him and said, "What do you think about Hogsmeade?" There are so many secret passages in Watts, is there a secret passage that leads directly to Hogsmeade?"

"Maybe." Harry thought absentmindedly, "If I knew there was such a secret passage, we could sneak out together. I have an invisibility cloak. When I put it on, I can become invisible and others can't see it at all."

But he felt that there was no such secret passage.

If so, it may have spread among students.

"Actually, there are advantages to not being able to go to Hogsmeade. At least you don't have to spend money to buy a lot of things like others. With the money you save, you can buy a new broom."

Although the Hufflepuff team defeated Gryffindor, they lost to Ravenclaw in the subsequent game, so Gryffindor still has a chance to win the championship this year.

"You're right." Harry seemed to have finally cheered up a little: "I borrowed a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Broomsticks" from Wood so that I can study the differences between different brands of broomsticks today."
