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

Facts have proved that you really shouldn’t drink drinks from unknown sources.

After Esther was forced to drink a cup of dark potion by her father, she couldn't help but retched twice, but unfortunately she didn't spit out the extremely unpleasant potion.

Beside her, Ernie and Hannah also held their noses and drank the magic potion.

"The Ministry of Magic has taken the person away. The wizard added an addictive herbal medicine to the drink. Although the medicine in the drink is not strong, and only a small number of people are addicted to this herb, it is very Unfortunately you are one of them."

Dad David was indifferent to Esther's tragic situation. He continued with a somewhat speechless expression: "Fortunately, you drank less and found out in time. You will be fine after taking the medicine."

Ernie raised his hand tremblingly: "Uncle, I would like to ask why those of us who are not addicted still drink this extremely unpleasant antidote?"

David answered him: "To ensure your safety, although there is no addiction for the time being, can you ensure that it will not affect you at all?"

While talking, Letitia brought a few glasses of water: "We have finished drinking the medicine, let's drink some honey water."

The three of them couldn't wait to reach for it almost as soon as Letitia put the water down.

A mouthful of sweet honey finally dissipated a bit of the bitter taste of the potion.

Esther felt alive again.

"Dad, how did you brew this magic potion? Why does it feel like I've eaten a bite of raw earthworms when I drink it? It's bitter, fishy, ​​and disgusting."

Esther, who came back to life, couldn't help but complain.

Dad David glanced at her: "The ingredients of this potion are similar to what you guessed. For your sake, don't ask so specific."

So Esther immediately shut up and stopped talking.

"Thanks to the Malfoy children for discovering the problem this time, otherwise the situation would have been much worse."

Letitia touched Esther's hair with lingering fear and sighed.

Dad David asked her with some suspicion: "How did you meet that boy from the Malfoy family?"

Esther shrugged and replied: "With so many people coming to watch the Quidditch World Cup, isn't it normal to bump into a few classmates?"

"It's indeed normal, but this time I owe them Malfoy a favor. You don't know that there is no benefit in getting too involved with this kind of person." David frowned deeply and couldn't help but "tsk".

Esther disagreed. She only cared about one thing: "Will it be cured after drinking the medicine once? I won't drink such a terrible potion in the future, right?"

Dad smiled at her: "They only need to drink once, but you have to drink again tomorrow just to be on the safe side."

Esther's face fell when she heard this, and she sighed helplessly: "Why is this happening? Aren't we here to watch the game? How come it has become my suffering meeting?"

"Who made you unlucky?"

……

As time passed by, Esther did not go out again, but Ginny and Hermione came to see her once. After hearing about her experience, the two girls were equally lucky for her.

"Fortunately, I found it in time. You don't know. I heard from Ron that this morning Fred and George wanted to bring their gadgets to sell, but before they left the house, their mother found them and confiscated them. But He still had some hidden in Harry and Ron that hadn't been discovered."

Ginny said: "Just now, Ludo Bagman, Director of the Physical Education Department of the Ministry of Magic, spent five Galleons on a fake wand made by Fred and the others."

Ginny was very happy for George and Fred.

Esther's expression paused, and she asked: "Did George and Fred make a bet with Ludo Bagman?"

Ginny nodded: "Although Dad was reluctant, they did make a bet that the Irish team would win, but Krum would catch the Snitch."

Esther's expression became serious: "You may not know that Ludo Bagman is a gambler, and his gambling products are very bad. Before it's too late, let Mr. Weasley take down George and Fred." The bet money will be returned late and there will be nothing left.”

Hermione and Ginny looked at each other.

"It's not that serious, right?" Ginny said hesitantly, "After all, he is also the director of the first division, right?"

"It's really serious. He has even gone so far as to borrow money from goblins to fill the loopholes."

Esther continued.

And Hermione had already stood up: "I'll go find Mr. Weasley to explain the situation!"

She has more contact with Esther and believes in Esther's words more.

After Hermione and Ginny left, Esther felt at ease.

She felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

At dusk, she was woken up by her mother.

"Honey, get up and pack up quickly, the Quidditch World Cup is about to begin!"

Mom Letitia was excited.

She held several flags of the Irish team in her hand and handed them to the sleepy Esther: "Here, take them, and then help mom cheer them on!"

Esther nodded, yawned and got up. When she went out with the flag, she found that her father was holding the same flag in his hand.

It was obviously given to him by his mother, Letitia.

When night fell, the wizards who had been slightly disguised during the day finally stopped suppressing themselves. The Ministry of Magic seemed to succumb to everyone's will and no longer care about the magic tricks popping up everywhere.

There was no other way. They had been taking care of it for a day and were already very tired. They really didn't have the energy to continue taking care of it.

The family of three walked to the competition venue, and there were always people who knew dad David saying hello on the road.

Every few steps, apparated vendors descended from the sky, carrying trays and pushing trolleys filled with strange and weird gadgets. There are glowing rosettes—green for Ireland, red for Bulgaria—that scream out the names of the players; there are green tall hats decorated with shamrocks dancing in the wind; there are Bulgarian ribbons, printed on The lions above can really roar; there are the national flags of the two countries, which will play their respective national anthems when waved; there are also small models of Firebolts that can really fly; there are statues of famous team members for collection, and those small statues can be placed on your He walked around with his palms looking triumphant. (Note)

Esther and her father David were fine, but her mother Letitia couldn't resist the temptation of such small commodities. After walking a few steps, she already had several kinds of souvenirs in her hands.

The only thing Dad David bought was three telescopes.

As for Esther, she is not interested in any of this. She would rather buy some snacks. Wouldn’t it be nice to eat snacks while watching the game?

Unfortunately, because there was a case of someone selling prohibited food in the afternoon, her parents did not allow her to buy the food bought by the vendors.
