At noon the day after the exam, the entire castle was empty.

Because of the hot weather and the fact that everyone was no longer stressed after the exam, most people went to Hogsmeade for vacation.

Harry and the others also followed the crowd to Hogsmeade, because Sirius Black would be waiting for him in Hogsmeade.

Esther didn't go because when she passed a group of Slytherins this morning, she heard Pansy Parkinson complain to Zabini: "How come Draco has become so similar to Nott? Not at all." You don’t fit in, why don’t you go to Hogsmeade with us today?”

Zabini responded to her very coldly: "What do you care about him? Is it possible that if he doesn't go, will it have any bad impact on our lives?"

"Oh, come on, Zabini." Pansy exposed him mercilessly: "You are just jealous, because Draco was successful in reporting Black's whereabouts to the professors, and Dumbledore gave him twenty points."

Zabini snorted nonchalantly: "So what? Even if we add 20 points, it won't change the fact that this year's Academy Cup is Gryffindor. This is the third consecutive year that Gryffindor has won the Academy Cup. !”

A group of Slytherins murmured and complained, and the topic shifted to the feeling that Dumbledore was too partial to Gryffindor.

Therefore, after learning that Draco would not go to Hogsmeade today, she decided not to go.

The sunshine at noon was blazing, and a few white clouds floated in the blue sky, floating slowly like sun-melted marshmallows.

Esther saw Draco on the edge of the black lake. He was sitting on the grass, lazily watching the giant squid swaying its tentacles on the water.

He spotted Esther as soon as she got closer.

Draco raised his head, and the sunlight shone on Esther's hair, which shone like gold, even burning her eyes.

"Why are you here?" he asked strangely.

Esther sat down next to him, holding her chin and looking at the giant squid: "Because I suddenly remembered that I still need to thank you. I really owe you a big favor this time."

Normally, Draco would have been secretly happy when he heard Esther say this, but today he looked miserable.

"You don't need to thank me. Although I helped you, I also betrayed you."

He turned his head slightly to the other side: "Your father came to school the day before yesterday. He met me and asked me what happened that day. I couldn't hold on and confessed to him that it was you who asked me to go to the teacher for help. matter."

Esther originally wanted to be polite first, but then he was so honest, which caught her off guard.

"Okay." Esther was silent for a moment: "My father is really scary. It's really not easy to lie in front of him. It's not your fault."

Draco suddenly turned his head and looked at her: "Esther, tell me the truth, were you involved in the matter of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew? Or do you know something?"

Esther was stunned for a moment, she saw worry in the boy's beautiful gray-blue eyes.

with her reflection.

"I do know something." Esther lowered her head: "Harry once got a magical map, which can show the names and locations of the characters in the entire Hogwarts castle. I'm here While researching, I accidentally saw the name of Peter Pettigrew, and because I was curious, I went to the place where his name was during the day, and found Ron's mouse Scabbers there."

"So you have guessed everything since then?" Draco's eyes widened: "Whether the murderer of the Potter family was Sirius Black or Peter Pettigrew, what does it have to do with you? Is it worth taking such a risk?"

Esther was silent.

It's not about Esther Mayne, but it's about the soul in Esther Mayne's body that has memories of past lives.

"You are a Hufflepuff, not a Gryffindor. You don't need to prove your courage. If I hadn't arrived in time with Professor Snape, have you ever thought about what accidents might happen to you?"

Draco was still complaining.

But this time the complaints were no longer harsh in Esther's ears.

She gave him a sincere and bright smile and said sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, Draco."

Draco was stunned. He turned his head awkwardly and said angrily: "Don't keep turning a deaf ear to my words. Sirius Black who came to kill Potter this time made an mistake. Can you guarantee that he will do the same next time?" Is it a mistake? If you get close to Potter, you will always attract the attention of others, and then you will accidentally get involved, and you don't know how you will die."

He deliberately made his words serious, hoping to scare Esther.

Esther sighed, how could she not understand this truth?

She knows all the plots and understands the difficulties and pains in the future better than anyone else in the world.

She knew a lot of innocent people would die, like Cedric.

He also knew that more people would die in the battle with Voldemort.

Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Lavender, Colin...

Too many people died one after another.

Maybe when she just entered school, she could still say that she would eat melons and watch movies, because she knew that no one would die that year, but now she can't do it.

Esther Mayne could not watch the classmates and teachers around her die one by one without being indifferent.

"I know Draco." Esther calmly looked at the sparkling water illuminated by the sun: "But we are at this point in time, and we always have to make a choice. I have to make a choice, and you will Make a choice too.”

Draco glanced at her. He couldn't understand what she meant, but he could feel a different sadness coming from her body than before.

"What to choose? Choose whether to be an enemy of the Savior? Then I think I made a choice from the beginning." He answered in a sullen voice.

Esther smiled helplessly and sighed, her sadness swept away: "Okay, that's all, how about we change the topic? How did you do in the exam?"

Draco: ...

"You are a Hufflepuff, not a Ravenclaw, so why do you care so much about my grades? Did the Sorting Hat really not sort you into the wrong house at that time?"

"Uh... Actually, before I even waited for the Sorting Hat to speak, I kept telling him that I wanted to go to Hufflepuff. Then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he sorted me into Hufflepuff."

"...Can it still be like this? Why do you want to enter Hufflepuff so much? This academy is synonymous with idiots and losers in the eyes of many people."

"But Hufflepuff is really good. I don't regret entering Hufflepuff at all. And who said that Hufflepuff is just a loser? It's all naked discrimination. If you say it like this, Then I can also say that Slytherin is a group of selfish and indifferent people; Gryffindor is reckless and rude; Ravenclaw is also a group of idiots who can only read. But this is not the case. There is no need to post this Label."
