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

When Harry heard Esther say this, his first thought was to clarify himself: "We haven't stolen Snape's potion ingredients recently!"

Hermione gave him a strange look: "Of course we don't have any." After saying that, she ignored Harry and turned to Esther: "Do you think the missing raw materials for Polyjuice Potion are related to this Goblet of Fire incident? relation?"

Esther thought for a while and said, "I think so. You can think back, since Harry entered school, something has happened against him every year, and I always feel that this year should be no exception. .”

The three of them thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.

"If this is the case, it is very likely to be related to... the Dark Lord." Hermione said worriedly: "Let's go find the professors and ask Harry not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament!"

Harry actually agreed with Hermione's proposal. He didn't want to participate in any Triwizard Tournament, especially since everyone hated alienating him because of this matter.

Ron's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Esther shook her head: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Since the people behind the scenes have tried so hard to set up this trap, they won't let you escape easily. Compared to this, I think it's more important to find the people behind the scenes. "

Speaking of this, Esther suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Harry, do you remember the Marauder's Map from last year? Whose hands did it end up in?"

Since Peter Pettigrew can be detected by the Marauder's Map in his Animagus form, Crouch Jr. should not be able to escape the Marauder's Map even if he drinks Polyjuice Potion.

If she had the Marauder's Map, she could expose the true face of "Moody" based on the same routine as the previous year.

Harry said: "The Marauder's Map was taken away by Dumbledore one year ago, and Dumbledore later gave it to Sirius. I asked Sirius for it when I was in school, but Sirius didn't give it to me. He said he would let me stay at school. Study hard and don’t wander around at night.”

Harry didn't feel too bad about this. After all, the main reason he used the Marauder's Map was to enter Hogsmeade, and now that Sirius Black has been acquitted of his crimes, as Harry's godfather, this year's trip to Hogsmeade Of course he could sign it for Harry.

"Are you trying to find out through the Marauder's Map who used Polyjuice Potion to sneak into the castle?"

Hermione asked: "This is indeed a way, but we may not be able to get the Marauder's Map."

Esther said: "Let's give it a try first, and tell Sirius that I want to borrow it. I want to study the Marauder's Map. I was half way through the study last year and still didn't succeed. After all, I can be considered a good friend of the little one." It will help Sirius clear his name, what if he gives me some face?"

"Okay." Harry agreed: "I will write to Sirius later."

After chatting with Harry and the others for a while, Esther returned to the Hufflepuff lounge.

As the time for the first event approaches, Harry and the other four brave men also have to make some pre-match preparations.

After the interviews about the four warriors in the Daily Prophet came out, Harry's life at Hogwarts became even more difficult.

Because this report was written by Rita Skeeter, she is very good at catching rumors and mobilizing the public's thoughts. Therefore, in the entire report about the Triwizard Tournament, there is very little explanation of the game. She devoted most of her words to It focused on Harry's personal life, and also created a rumor that Harry and Hermione were in love.

So after listening to Esther's words, Ron's relationship with Harry had eased, and he started a cold war with Harry again.

I don't know whether he was angry because in Rita Skeeter's article, Harry felt very proud to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, or because of the rumors about Harry and Hermione's relationship.

In short, this is the situation.

Before the first program officially begins, students in third years and above can travel to Hogsmeade.

This year, Esther finally reached the age and no longer had to sneak through secret passages.

Although she didn't take the initiative to take the secret path last year.

Esther heads to Hogsmeade with her roommates.

In fact, Hogsmeade is not a big place, and there are not many such shops, but compared to the unchanging life in the castle, this kind of time to go out is particularly precious.

They went from store to store, gossiping about all kinds of things while shopping.

"I heard that Beauxbatons' Fleur is part Veela, that's why she looks so beautiful."

Anne held Cathy's hand and told everyone the gossip she had heard in a low voice.

"Really? Who did you listen to? I just said she was a little too beautiful."

"Abby, who is in fifth grade, said that she recently got very close to a boy from Beauxbatons."

……

Esther spent a relaxing and beautiful day silently listening to the gossips of her roommates.

The next day is Sunday, and there is still no class.

Esther continues to study Occlumency in the library.

Although it was of little use to study theory all the time, Esther would always think of it involuntarily when she was free, and she also tried to "turn off" her emotions according to what the book said.

Viktor Krum has been spending a lot of time in the library lately. Every time he shows up to go to the library, there are always a lot of girls following him, and the library is always in a mess.

So Esther stayed for a while and then chose to return to the common room.

She didn't come out again until dinner time.

Hermione was waiting outside the Hufflepuff lounge. After Esther came out, she immediately said to Esther: "Esther! We have something to discuss with you. Are you convenient now?"

Esther nodded and was about to say something when she thought that Rita Skeeter was also an unregistered Animagus. Her Animagus form was a beetle. During the Triwizard Tournament, , she listened to a lot of gossip and created a lot of rumors while lurking in Hogwarts.

So he carefully observed the surroundings and said to Hermione: "Let's go to the Room of Requirement and talk."

Hermione naturally agreed: "Okay."

They walked to the Room of Requirement in silence. After Esther closed the door, she asked Hermione: "What do you want from me?"

Hermione said to Esther: "Harry and Sirius met yesterday, and Sirius told Harry that Karkaroff was a Death Eater! So Harry thought that Karkaroff might be the one behind the scenes, so he asked me Let me ask you what you think. He is...too eye-catching right now, and I don’t want to implicate you. Hufflepuff has also been very dissatisfied with him recently, so he didn’t come to you in person."
