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

It was extremely quiet outside Hogwarts in the afternoon.

Since it was close to the exam time and there had just been a Quidditch match this morning, there were not many people outside the campus at this time.

Therefore, their chase outside the castle is particularly obvious.

"What's your attitude?"

Draco was a little dissatisfied with what Esther said, and he frowned. Compared to chasing Esther, who was panting, he seemed more relaxed.

"I just saw that cat looking like it was chasing a... mouse? It looked a bit like the mouse Weasley often held in his arms. Do you want to catch that mouse?"

When it comes to Draco's strengths, one of them is his good eyesight. From such a distance, he can clearly see that the mouse belongs to Ron.

Esther chased anxiously, watching Crookshanks chasing the mouse towards the direction of the Whomping Willow, praying in her heart that it would be like in the original plot, Sirius Black was also there, and then helped catch Peter Pettigrew.

If he were allowed to escape from the secret passage, searching for a mouse in the vast sea of ​​people would be like a dead end.

"Draco, please do one thing. Go to Professor Snape or any other teacher and tell them that Peter Pettigrew is running to the secret passage under the Whomping Willow! Go quickly!"

Esther didn't have time to say anything else. She lowered her voice and said this to Draco quickly, and then shouted: "Scabbers, don't run away, Ron has been looking for you!" She speeded up and chased after him.

Perhaps her expression was too anxious and serious, Draco frowned and paused for a moment, then turned around and ran towards the castle.

Because he was casually holding his broomstick. After running two steps, he remembered this and flew directly to the castle on his broomstick.

Esther is still chasing Peter Pettigrew.

She felt her actions were a bit risky today.

Although Peter Pettigrew didn't know that he already knew his true identity, in this case, he estimated that there was a high possibility that he would keep his Animagus image from being exposed.

But he is an adult wizard after all. Even if he is timid by nature, he may still have murderous intentions towards Esther if he is forced into a desperate situation.

Wouldn't he just obey Voldemort's order and kill the innocent Cedric a year later?

Now that the plot has been changed by her, she should bear the subsequent risks. Even if her life may be in danger, she has to give it a try.

Catching Peter Pettigrew could not only clear Sirius Black's grievances, but also prevent Cedric's death. She should give it a try after planning for a semester!

Crookshanks isn't afraid, and neither should she be.

With this thought in mind, Esther pursued her with firm eyes.

The mouse quickly slipped into the tunnel of the Whomping Willow, followed closely by Crookshanks. Before entering the tunnel, the mouse pressed the scar of the Whomping Willow to make the tree no longer aggressive and turn around. He even meowed at Esther, which seemed to mean, "Hurry up and follow me, I'll take the first step."

Esther followed behind, reciting "lumos" silently as she entered the tunnel.

A small light illuminates the road ahead, preventing you from being dizzy because you can't see the direction clearly.

This tunnel was relatively low, so Esther could only bend forward slightly and run forward.

The secret tunnel was very long, and she felt that her whole body was starting to drift into a trance. She could only see Crookshanks' tail flicking in the tunnel, like a direction sign guiding the way.

After running forward for a while, the ground began to tilt, and when I turned a corner further, a slight light came through.

It's finally over.

Esther crawled out of the tunnel, held her wand and took a few deep breaths.

The secret passage ended at the Shrieking Shack where she had been.

Ignoring the dirty environment around her, she sat down on the ground and rested for about ten seconds. Then she stood up and began to look for Crookshanks and Peter Pettigrew.

She walked through the open door on the right and walked into a dark foyer. There was a sound on the ceiling above her.

She took a deep breath and tiptoed up the stairs.

"Sirius, please let me go! We were friends before, weren't we?"

A high-pitched man and a thunderous sound reached Esther's ears.

"You still have the nerve to say that we are friends. As early as the moment you surrendered to the Dark Lord, our friendship no longer existed! It was you who killed James and Lily. You have to go to a world in person to apologize to them!"

Another hoarse male voice roared.

"I don't want to! But I'm too scared. It's all the Dark Lord, all... he forced me to do it! If I don't tell the truth, I will be the one who dies!"

"You don't have to quibble! I must kill you today to avenge James!"

"No!" A wailing sound came, and the thin male voice continued to beg for mercy: "Don't kill me! Give me to the Ministry of Magic. This will at least prove your innocence!"

"But it doesn't make sense!" Another boy roared: "It doesn't matter whether I am a murderer or an innocent person! James is dead! Died by your betrayal and my arrogance! Only you can use it It only makes sense for you, a dog, to have stolen your life for more than ten years to atone for their sins!"

Esther stood silently at the door, listening to the fierce fighting inside, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Oh, she forgot, this time there was no Ron sending a wand from a thousand miles away. Black and Peter Pettigrew were currently two wizards who were not very strong. Even if they knew a lot of magic, they couldn't cast it without a wand. The only option they had was hand-to-hand combat. .

Listening to the noise inside, it seemed like Sirius still had the upper hand.

As the only person present with a wand capable of using magic, Esther suddenly felt less afraid.

She didn't rush in casually, but wanted to wait for them to fight for a while to use up her energy before going in.

Not long after, the sound of fighting gradually approached the door. Esther dodged aside. The door was pushed open from the inside, and a short, bald man rolled out.

Because Esther stood in a very clever position, he did not notice Esther's figure after the door opened.

The man turned around and wanted to run down, but Esther immediately appeared, picked up the wand and shouted at his back: "Petrify them all!"

His figure was instantly petrified and he could not move.

"Okay! That's great!"

From that door followed another man.

Dirty black hair reaches past his shoulders, he is thin and has sunken eye sockets, like a skeleton.

Esther had seen this man's appearance on the wanted poster.

He is Sirius Black.

Perhaps because she knew he was a good person, Esther didn't feel much panic when facing Sirius. She looked at him steadily: "You are Sirius Black."

He grinned: "Yes I am Sirius Black, we have met, in this room, you are dating a Slytherin boy."

He said walking towards Esther.

Esther even doubted how his thin body could support him fighting with Peter Pettigrew inside.

The next second, the wand in Esther's hand was suddenly snatched away by him.

Her doubts were easily solved.

Although he looked like a skeleton, he was still very strong, at least stronger than her.
