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

With three days left until final exams, the case against Sirius Black has been concluded, his innocence has been proven, and Peter Pettigrew has been imprisoned in Azkaban.

And since Sirius Black used the Animagus form to escape from prison before, Azkaban has strengthened its guards. It should be impossible for Peter Pettigrew to use the same method to escape from prison.

This shocking reversal of the case has attracted the attention of the entire magical world, and everyone is talking about it even in the school.

Esther originally thought that since she was present when Sirius and Peter Pettigrew were discovered, Dumbledore would have to ask her for information anyway, but Dumbledore did not ask her, and only Professor Sprout asked afterward. He asked her what happened, and the question was relatively concise.

Logically speaking, it should be a good thing if he didn't find her, but she always felt a little uneasy. Isn't this unlike Dumbledore's style?

The happiest person these days is Harry. He has learned about their experience with his father from Lupin. Although Sirius cannot yet spare time to meet Harry, Harry is still very happy that he will have a Godfather thing.

After knowing that his Firebolt was given to him by Sirius, he was even more looking forward to meeting this godfather whom he had never met before.

Esther's parents soon learned of what she had been through at school, and in the afternoon while she and Ernie were studying for lessons sadly, she saw her father, David, in the library.

In terms of appearance alone, her father is really eye-catching. Not only is he tall and straight, but he also has elegant and handsome facial features. Even a simple white shirt can be worn by him like a model on a catwalk.

At first, he just stood outside the library and looked in silently. Esther did not notice him immediately.

It wasn't until she heard several inhalations one after another and some girls discussing something in low voices that she was interrupted from her review thoughts. Then she looked up and saw her old father standing at the door.

When David realized that Esther had discovered her, he waved to her with a kind smile, but Esther still had a hint of murderous intent.

She froze for a moment, and her intuition told her that her father was not a good person this time.

Ernie on the side didn't notice this. After he followed Esther's gaze and spotted David, he waved to David happily, then pushed Esther: "Why are you here, uncle? Are we here to find you?"

Esther didn't know why he came. She walked towards her father with a stiff expression on her face.

"Dad? Why are you here?"

Esther quickly walked up to him despite the gazes of the people in the library, then stretched out her hand to push him, and asked while pushing him away from the library door.

David let her push him forward: "Of course I'm here to find you. I heard that you were accidentally involved in Blake's incident, and you were injured because of it. You spent a day in the infirmary?"

Esther subconsciously denied: "I'm fine, I just slept for a while, nothing else happened."

David clicked his tongue dissatisfied: "Who hurt you? Black or Peter Pettigrew?"

Esther answered him: "No, it was just an accidental injury during the fight."

David showed a clear expression: "None of them? Is that Snape? I knew he was the most evil person."

After speaking, a smile appeared on his face: "Since you were accidentally injured, as a parent of a student, you have to find the culprit to make some compensation, right? Is there any potion you want? Snape won't do it if you ask it. If he doesn’t come out, we can take the opportunity to blackmail him.”

Esther was ashamed: "Dad! I will live in Hogwarts for many more years. If you dare to do this, Professor Snape will definitely target me even more in the future."

David disagreed: "It sounds like even if you don't blackmail him, he won't deliberately embarrass you."

This is the truth, but she has been targeted enough, and she really doesn't want to add any more hatred.

Feeling deeply that this topic was dangerous, Esther immediately changed the subject: "By the way, dad, how did you get into Hogwarts? Did you apply to Principal Dumbledore?"

David answered her: "No, isn't there a hippogriff in your school that is going to be executed? I will advance its execution time to today, and then meet with the people sent to execute it by our Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Came here together."

Esther:…

"Dad, don't you think your behavior is a little too careless about other people's lives and deaths?"

Esther sighed and complained.

The execution time has been advanced to today. I wonder if Hermione and the others know about it. If they don't know, she has to tell them quickly.

"You can take a stroll first, I have to spread the news!"

Esther hurriedly prepared to go find Hermione, but her father David called out to her slowly: "You don't have to go find someone to save it. Dumbledore will take care of it if he knows about it."

Esther stopped and turned to look at David with a suspicious expression: "Why do I feel like you are very familiar with Principal Dumbledore?"

David hummed lightly: "After all, he is an outstanding graduate, so it is normal for him to have some contact with the former principal."

Esther rolled her eyes at him, despising his self-praising behavior.

David laughed twice and looked at her silently: "Before asking about my affairs, why not tell me what you have done recently? Don't you think you are a little too unscrupulous in school?"

Esther took a step back alertly: "I don't want something like this to happen. I am also an innocent victim."

David sneered: "It's okay for you to coax others, but you can't deceive me. You may not know that I met that boy from the Malfoy family before I came to you. He told me everything. You You had known for a long time that the mouse next to Weasley was Peter Pettigrew, right? But you wanted to catch him, so you took the risk and chased after him. Do you know that if he hadn't arrived with other professors, you would have What happened? Do you know that your life may be in danger?"

Esther lowered her head silently and admitted her mistake obediently: "I'm sorry, Dad, I did not think it through, but the situation was too urgent at the time, and...and I know that Sirius Black is not a vicious murderer."

"But Peter Pettigrew is!" David continued: "Listen Ess, no matter what your reasons are, no matter how urgent the situation is, you can't joke with your own life! You have to think about your parents. If you What went wrong, what should mom and dad do?”

His tone was rare and gentle, neither yelling nor sarcastic, but it was this that made Esther very uncomfortable.

She suddenly felt guilty.

A sour feeling rushed into her eyes, and she blinked to hold back the tears that were about to come out.
