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

Because most students went to Hogsmeade today to spend their happy Saturday, the usually bustling castle seemed quite deserted.

A small bird flew to the grass with fluttering wings and used its pointed beak to rummage through the soil for last winter's grass seeds. Esther stretched out her hand towards the foraging bird. The bird was frightened and flew away, landing on another grassy area.

"You really love studying. You don't forget to review your homework on Saturdays. You really don't look like a Hufflepuff."

Draco watched her actions with a "You're so childish" look on his face.

Esther shrugged and said nothing.

According to usual experience, Draco would start chattering to her about various things, even if she didn't want to hear it.

She had been prepared for this, but Draco unexpectedly fell silent.

He stared at the lake with gloomy eyes, wondering what he was thinking?

He was not having a good time during this period. After he was caught pretending to be a dementor to scare Harry, they deducted 50 points from Slytherin and was criticized by Professor Snape. At the same time, as the time for the Quidditch match was approaching, Slytherin had to play against Gryffindor in the next game, and Harry, who had the Firebolt, undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on them.

The most important thing is that his father didn't know where he knew what he had done, and wrote a letter to warn him not to do such stupid things again.

This made him feel depressed recently, and he wasn't even too keen on causing trouble for Harry.

This morning he was originally going to Hogsmeade with other Slytherin classmates, but he saw Esther talking to Harry Potter during breakfast. Although he didn't hear what they said, he saw Harry Potter. Lippert handed Esther a piece of brown paper.

He thought he had good eyesight, so he saw clearly that the piece of paper Esther hid just now was the one given by Harry.

He was a little angry, he felt Esther had "betrayed" him.

Even though he had helped her so many times, even though he knew that he hated Harry Potter, he still got so close to Potter and that Muggle wizard Granger.

He even pointed out the paper and tried to trick him!

He kicked a pebble at his feet hard. The pebble flew out and fell into the water, causing a small splash.

"Do you know? The beast that Hagrid has been protecting is about to be executed. My father won the lawsuit. So, Potter and the others are desperate and will not be able to sue you. After all, your father is the director of the Control and Management Department. Captain, they may want to follow your path to save that bird, if Potter and the others come to you, you are not allowed to help them!"

He suddenly turned around and said to Esther with a vicious tone.

Regarding this result, Esther, who had known the plot for a long time, was not surprised. She just raised her eyebrows and asked him: "Is this a return of the favor I owed you before?"

"Calculate!!"

Draco glared at Esther again for some reason, gritting his teeth and spitting out the word.

Then it will be fine.

Esther showed a satisfied smile and agreed to him without hesitation: "Yes."

She agreed so simply, which surprised Draco.

He looked at her from top to bottom suspiciously: "You agreed so simply, are you thinking of another bad idea?"

Esther gave him a sweet smile: "Of course not. Since I promised you, I will abide by the agreement. If you don't believe it, I can swear on my personality."

Esther was telling the truth. Although she sometimes felt that it was not good for her to lie without blinking, she definitely had character.

Draco said, "I hope you will do what you say."

Esther stood up, patted her clothes, and vowed: "Of course it can be done, I don't like lying."

It's just that the world forced her to lie.

If she directly told others that Voldemort would be resurrected next year, not only would most people regard her as a lunatic, but the most important thing is that if Voldemort really returns, they will definitely not let her go if they know this rumor. What awaits her then? Either it's endless Legilimency, or it's Avada Kedavra.

It was precisely because of this concern that she had been slowly guiding Hermione and the others to discover the truth, instead of exposing it rashly.

Draco sneered as if he had heard a joke: "Don't like lying? I think you lie quite naturally."

After saying this, without waiting for Esther to say anything else, he turned around and left quickly, even his back showed a bit of anger.

Esther didn't know what Master Ma was angry about. She subconsciously took two steps forward and found that Draco was walking too fast for her to catch up.

And she thought about it and felt that there was no need to catch up and say anything, so she stopped and slowly returned to the castle.

When the students who went to Hogsmeade came back in the evening, Hermione and the three of them had heavy expressions on their faces. They didn't even have the heart to eat dinner, so they just took a few bites and left the auditorium.

It looks like the verdict has been handed down for Buckbeak's execution.

Draco changed from his gloominess during the day and became energetic again. He held his chin high and talked to a group of Slytherins who didn't know what they were talking about. From time to time, they burst out laughing to let people know that they were happy now.

This time when he went to Hogsmeade, Ernie brought a lot of things to Esther as usual, especially candies from the Bee Duke Candy Shop. He brought her a lot, including the more curious blood-flavored lollipops and toad-shaped ones. Cream Mints (This candy will literally jump in your stomach.)

"I heard from Donna in your dormitory that day that on the day Sirius Black broke into the Gryffindor common room, you took out all your candy and shared it with everyone, so I bought some more for you, so that you Don’t worry about running out of snacks.”

Ernie happily gave all the candies to Esther.

Esther:…

"...Thank you Ernie, you are such a good brother."

Faced with Ernie's kindness, Esther could only grit her teeth and accept it. She didn't even dare to show a trace of surprise and could only try her best to maintain a grateful smile.

"As long as you like it, I'll continue to buy it for you when I go to Hogsmeade next time."

Ernie didn't notice Esther's reluctance and was still very happy.

"...You don't have to spend so much money next time." Esther said as she separated the weird candies from the normal candies.

She didn't want to get an explosive candy when she picked up a random candy, and when she took a bite, the whole candy exploded in her mouth.
