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

The next day was the weekend and there was still no need for classes.

Esther took a rare late nap and got up a little later than usual. When she slowly went to the auditorium to eat, she unexpectedly ran into Hermione who came to see her.

Compared to Esther who was full of energy, Hermione looked sluggish, with two big dark circles under her eyes, and she didn't look like she was well rested.

"Ais, I need to talk to you about something. Can you lend me a moment to talk?"

As soon as Esther appeared in the auditorium, Hermione came over in a hurry. Regardless of the fact that the roommate who came with Esther was still there, she anxiously spoke to Esther.

Esther motioned to her roommates to go eat first, while she nodded to Hermione: "Okay."

They walked out of the castle together. When there was no one at the castle gate, Hermione said eagerly to Esther: "The lawsuit about Buckbeak has come down. Hagrid has lost the case. Buckbeak will be executed soon, although this is a bit presumptuous." , but I would like to ask you to write to ask your father. He works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He may know some ways to help Buckbeak survive, even if it is a period of probation."

Esther knew that she was here for this matter, but unfortunately she had promised Draco that she would not interfere in this matter, and even if she had not promised Draco, she would not easily help.

Because Buckbeak will not die later and will contribute to Sirius' escape. She doesn't know if her attempt to change the plot will succeed, so Buckbeak had better not take this step yet.

So she showed an apologetic expression: "I'm really sorry Hermione, I also want to help you, but I also asked my father, and the answer he gave me was that the Malfoys not only bribed most of the committee members, And he also followed the path of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Although my father is in charge of magical animals, he cannot disobey the Minister of Magic's orders..."

Her answer to Hermione wasn't a lie, but she did ask her father, who gave him similar answers.

The only difference is that her father also said that if she really wanted to save Buckbeak, she could do so in disguise. After all, the Minister of Magic and the committee members will not be present when Buckbeak is actually executed. As long as the executioner is slightly bribed, the matter can be solved. Anyway, there are so many Hippogriffs, who knows where? Just which one?

When Hermione heard her say this, she inevitably showed some disappointment: "Oh, you don't have to blame yourself for this, Esther. Everyone knows the insidiousness of the Malfoy family. Since he is determined to execute Buckbeak, it's natural There will be no other way for us to make a comeback.”

She said with a sad sigh: "It's just Hagrid... he has been too sad recently, and this execution is too unfair. It is obvious that Buckbeak is not worthy of death."

Esther also sighed: "Actually, even if the Malfoy family didn't bribe the members of the committee, these guys wouldn't let Buckbeak go so easily. After all, compared with wizards, the lives of magical creatures are really not worth anything. carry."

Hermione frowned. She actually didn't agree with what Esther said, but she didn't know how to refute it, because it was indeed the case.

Finally, she covered her face with her hands and said in a choked voice: "I checked a lot of information and made a lot of preparations for Hagrid, but they didn't even listen to Hagrid's explanation. Lucius Malfoy just stood up and said a few words. In one sentence, they decided that Malfoy won the case! The court that is supposed to uphold justice cannot even be fair..."

She sobbed softly twice, seeming to be very disappointed and unwilling to accept this ending.

Esther continued to sigh: "So Hermione, you must stick to your own ideas. After graduation, you can work in the Ministry of Magic. With your intelligence, you will definitely have great achievements. If you become a Minister of Magic, get rid of all these vegetarians!"

Hermione was amused by Esther's "big words". She put down her hands covering her face, with tears still on her eyelashes: "Then I'll lend you a favor, but the Minister of Magic is not that easy to be."

Esther smiled, turned her head slightly, looked at Ron and Harry who poked their heads out from the side and said to Hermione: "Have you and Ron reconciled?"

Hearing this, Hermione shook her head with a complicated expression: "No."

"But I saw that he seemed quite worried about you, and thought you two had reconciled."

As Esther said this, she waved to Harry and Ron, who were looking around.

Hermione also turned her head in the direction of her hand and spotted Ron and the others.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the two of them came over, pushing and shoving.

Esther said to Ron: "Ron, Hermione actually doesn't want to quarrel with you at all. She actually understands why you are angry."

When Ron heard Esther say this, he was suddenly stunned, and then replied incoherently: "Oh... so... Actually, Scabbers is already very old and useless. Who knows, maybe my parents will buy me another one." An owl. And about Buckbeak... I mean, Hermione can't do it alone anymore, I have to help... and Harry too."

When Hermione heard Ron say this, she suddenly put her arms around Ron's neck and cried bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Ron! I'm sorry about Scabbers! I..."

She burst into tears.

Ron seemed to be frightened by his sudden move. He was stunned for a few seconds before stiffly reaching out and patting her on the top of her head: "Actually, I also want to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have deliberately vented my anger on you, knowing that you I was very busy some time ago and even deliberately quarreled with you."

At this moment, two people who had been in a cold war for a long time reconciled very simply.

As their friend, Harry smiled happily beside him. Infected by the atmosphere, he took a step forward and wanted to hug them, in order to express that the relationship between the three of them was restored to its previous state.

Then he just took two steps when he was caught by Esther with quick eyes and hands.

Harry: ? ? ?

He looked at Esther in confusion, wondering why she suddenly pulled him.

And Esther also thinks that Harry is too nervous. The two of them have reconciled, so why do you have to step forward and be the light bulb?

In the future, when you will be the light bulb, there is no need to be so anxious to send it up now.

"What are you doing here crying? Are you rehearsing in advance for the funeral of the big bird that is about to be executed?"

An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the warm atmosphere here.

Draco and his two followers appeared in front of them arrogantly.

When Esther heard this voice, she immediately let go of Harry's hand and took a step back silently.

This was used to prove that he really didn't help Harry and the others.

She didn't mean what she said.

And in Draco's eyes, her move was a cover-up.

He couldn't help but sneer.
