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

This was supposed to be an ordinary night.

Esther finished washing early and went to bed.

She has always maintained good sleeping habits. As long as there are no accidents, she will go to bed on time before eleven o'clock in the evening.

This day is no exception.

Even if Gryffindor won the Quidditch match during the day, everyone was talking about Harry's powerful Firebolt.

As a result, everyone was woken up in the middle of the night. Dean Sprout walked into the Hufflepuff common room with a serious face and strictly prohibited everyone from leaving the common room.

The mood of the little badgers was quite stable. Even if they were woken up in the middle of the night, few of them lost their temper. Everyone was more confused about what happened.

"Sirius Black just broke into the Gryffindor common room and almost hurt a Gryffindor student."

Although Professor Sprout felt that this news would scare some timid students, knowing nothing was more dangerous than that.

Sure enough, after the words fell, the expressions of many people present changed.

"How did Sirius Black get into the Gryffindor common room?"

"Who is the student he wants to hurt? Harry?"

Everyone was talking a lot, and the sleepiness quickly disappeared.

Professor Sprout comforted him and asked the Hufflepuff prefects to keep an eye on the students. After that, she hurriedly left and went to search for Sirius Black with other staff.

Without the professor present, everyone started chattering even more.

Esther was so sleepy that she listened to their discussions in the crowd. In just a short while, Harry had been seriously injured in their mouths and was about to die.

Although everyone said it was exaggerated, their worries about Harry were real. Even Ernie frowned and was worried. Esther patted his arm and yawned and said, "Don't worry, Harry will be fine." After that, he turned to the others and said, "I have a lot of candies there, does anyone want to eat them?"

After the words fell, many people raised their hands.

Esther nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

Okay, I can finally use up those candies I couldn’t finish.

So she returned to her dormitory, took out all the candies, and placed them on the table in the common room for everyone to take as they pleased.

"Thank you Esther, I have some snacks. Does anyone want to eat them? If so, I will take them out."

"Let's eat. Let's chat while we eat."

"I also have some Muggle snacks I brought from home. I guess there must be some people who haven't eaten them, so I'll go get them too."

……

Starting with Esther, everyone soon contributed their own snacks to share.

Just as Esther went to get the candy, the topic of discussion changed from poor Harry to "how to catch Sirius Black and avenge Harry."

There was a tacit acknowledgment that Harry had already encountered misfortune.

Esther was happy to have used up all the candy she had today, but other than that she was still sleepy.

He steeled himself and listened to their discussion for a while. If he couldn't hold it any longer, he planned to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Ernie was hesitant about her decision. He was afraid that if something happened, he would not be able to tell Esther to escape in time.

"If you're really sleepy, why not just sleep on the sofa in the lounge for a while."

He spoke to Esther.

Esther said: "Everyone is staying in the common room, how can I sleep? It doesn't matter. I think this incident should not be particularly serious. At least there are no casualties. Otherwise, the dean would not let us stay like this." In the common room.”

Ernie was still hesitant. He seemed to want to follow Esther closely, as if this was the only way to protect her.

Even in the eyes of others, Esther is a character who can cast dozens of spells in a row and make Boggarts tremble in fear.

Esther gave him a gentle push and told him not to worry: "Don't worry, I'm not even afraid of Dementors."

"That's different." Ernie muttered, and finally compromised: "Okay, okay, then you can go back to sleep, but don't sleep too hard. If something happens, you must get up in time!"

Esther said "Hmm", fell asleep quickly after returning to the dormitory, and then slept until dawn.

Except for her, few people in the entire Hufflepuff could continue to sleep after such an incident. Most of them stayed up until three or four o'clock in the morning before they could bear to go back to rest.

When they got up the next day, they found that there were more guards everywhere in the castle. The busiest one was Filch, who blocked all the gaps in the castle, including the mouse holes.

While eating breakfast, Esther's classmates had already found out what happened last night.

"Sirius Black escaped again. It was Gryffindor's Dragon Button. Because he was afraid of forgetting the spell, he wrote all the passwords for the week on paper. As a result, the paper was taken by Sirius Black, and then he entered the spell. Llanffindor's common room, but what's strange is that he didn't kill Harry, but almost hurt Ron Weasley."

Hannah excitedly told everyone the news she had learned.

In fact, Hannah didn't need to say it, because Ron could no longer suppress his excitement and told his experience to anyone who was willing to inquire about yesterday's events.

Maybe it was because he had never received such enthusiastic attention before, so he couldn't control his emotions.

"But why Ron? Didn't you always say that Sirius Black wanted to kill Harry?"

Susan asked doubtfully.

Ernie answered her: "Maybe it's because I originally wanted to find Harry, but ended up walking on the wrong bed and almost hurt Ron."

"Maybe it's possible, but the most puzzling thing is why he ran away after seeing Ron wake up? Why would a vicious prisoner let Ron go?" Susan was still confused.

Hannah drank half a glass of milk in one breath, put down the glass and said to Susan: "It doesn't matter why, as long as no one is hurt."

Esther listened to their discussion and her eyes fell on Hermione on the Gryffindor table.

Unlike the excited Ron, she looked cold and frowned, looking thoughtful.

Under Esther's guidance, she had vaguely grasped the truth of the matter, but she could not connect it together yet.

His intuition told him that Sirius Black's attack was not because he had found the wrong person, but that he might be targeting Ron.

As for why we came for Ron...

She had a vague guess, but she lacked evidence.

She had to find Crookshanks and verify her suspicion.

She thought this, and when she raised her head, she met Esther's eyes.

Esther smiled at her and looked away.

For some reason, she suddenly had the illusion that Esther knew everything.

But how is it possible?

People don't predict things.

She felt that she had been under too much pressure recently and her thoughts were not normal.
