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

For many days after the first game, everyone was still discussing this matter tirelessly.

After Harry and Ron reconciled, Hermione was freed up to continue her house-elf liberation story.

Esther has been paying attention to the Marauder's Map in her free time these days, and she plans to start her plan after Christmas.

Time soon came to December, and Esther met Hermione in the library that day. She was still struggling with the promotion of S.P.E.W., which was not going well.

"They all think that house elves like office work. But even if they like it, we can't accept their efforts with peace of mind without making anything in return. We even discriminate against them and think that they are inferior to wizards."

Hermione complained to Esther.

Sometimes Esther really admired Hermione's persistence, so she thought twice and said to Hermione: "Actually, you can just ask the house elves what they think."

"Of course I have this plan," Hermione said, "It's just that I don't know where the Hogwarts kitchen is."

So Esther said: "But I know, or most Hufflepuff students know, but we don't tell students from other houses casually."

Hermione's eyes widened when she heard this: "Really?" After speaking, she continued with some hesitation: "If this is a secret of your college, you don't need to tell me, I will find it slowly by myself. "

"It's not a secret that cannot be told to others." Esther said close to Hermione's ear: "After lunch today, I can take you to see it."

"Thank you so much Essie!" Hermione couldn't help but give her a hug. Because her voice was slightly loud, they received a warning from the librarian Mrs. Pince.

We planned well, but something unexpected happened at noon.

Ever since Esther won the duel with the Beauxbatons girl last time, Esther has become quite famous among the Beauxbatons students.

After Esther finished her lunch and was about to take Hermione to the kitchen of Hogwarts, several Beauxbatons students blocked their way.

They wanted to ask Esther for advice. In other words, they also wanted to have a duel with Esther.

Esther sighed. She really didn't want to waste time here, but these Beauxbatons students said that they were recognized by the professors and agreed that friendly exchanges between their students could occur.

A look of vowing not to give up until the goal is reached.

Esther had no choice but to whisper a few words to Hermione, tell her the location of the kitchen, and let her go there alone, while she reluctantly accepted the other party's invitation to a duel.

Since they had just finished lunch, there were many students in the hall, and they quickly surrounded Esther and the others.

Esther didn't know why, but the former Hufflepuff students had an inexplicable sense of trust in her, and now this sense of trust spread to the entire Hogwarts.

Everyone cheered her on, and no one seemed to think there was anything wrong with Esther, who was only in third grade, facing off against Beauxbatons students who were so many years older than her.

Draco, who was in the crowd, muttered something: "This is too unfair. There is such a big difference between seventh grade and third grade. Are the Beauxbatons students also a group of people who only know how to pick on the weak? Are they capable?" Let’s compete with the senior students of Hogwarts!”

His arrogant voice was heard by a Beauxbatons student, who immediately asked him coldly: "What's the matter? Do you really want to duel with us?"

Because Pansy and the others spoke ill of the Beauxbatons students behind their backs, the Beauxbatons students hated Slytherin so much that even when they met a Slytherin, they didn't speak well to them.

Draco was not timid at all. He raised his chin proudly and said, "A duel is a duel. I'm not afraid of you."

The onlookers all thought that Draco was just letting out harsh words as usual, but Esther gave him a helpless and funny look, and said to the Beauxbatons students: "Okay, let's not talk about those who have... No more, who of you wants to challenge me?"

"I come."

A tall Beauxbatons boy stood up.

The crowd automatically made room for them. After they saluted each other, they started competing without saying a word.

Perhaps following the previous example of Wells' failure, this boy did not look down on Esther this time.

It can only be said that he is indeed a student carefully selected by Beauxbatons to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Once he gets serious, his strength cannot be underestimated.

Esther was able to win the last duel so easily mainly because the opponent underestimated her opponent, and she had the advantage from the beginning.

This time it was much more difficult than the last time.

Esther had been suppressed in the previous dozen moves. Apart from passive defense, she could not find any space to counterattack.

But even so, she didn't panic at all. She carefully explored the characteristics of the opponent's moves, found the right moment, and finally launched her first counterattack.

Esther's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. Her speed and proficiency in several commonly used spells are her greatest strengths.

Once the offensive and defensive positions are switched, even if Esther's spell is not powerful, it is fast, accurate and intensive, which will make the opponent panic. As long as the opponent messes up their position, then the opportunity will come.

Finally, a magic spell hit the opponent, and the boy rolled out in a panic, and the wand fell from his hand.

A burst of applause broke out from the surroundings, and every Hogwarts student had a proud smile on his face.

Except for some Slytherins, of course.

But Draco was definitely not included in these Slytherins.

He tried his best to suppress the rising corners of his lips, and clapped rather reservedly, holding his head high, as proudly as if he had just won the duel.

Zabini on the side saw his expression and shook his head with a headache. He said, Draco is hopeless, right?

Just when I was about to say something to the person next to me, I turned my head and found that the person standing next to me was Theodore Nott.

His dark eyes looked at Esther, who showed a bright smile after winning the game, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Norton? When did you get here?"

Zabini asked curiously.

He just remembered that the person standing next to him didn't seem to be him.

Theodore withdrew his gaze and said coldly to Zabini: "Passing by."

After speaking, he turned around and left without saying a word.

His withdrawn character is very famous throughout Slytherin. Zabini was not surprised. He only glanced at his back and then looked away, no longer paying attention.
