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

After rejecting the prom invitation from the third boy, Esther rubbed her forehead with a headache.

"No, Ess. You have rejected so many people. Do you really want to attend the dance with Malfoy?"

Cathy, who had witnessed everything, asked close to Esther's ear.

"I don't know, I'm just hesitant." Esther sighed sadly.

"Why are you hesitating?" Cathy didn't understand the reason for Esther's hesitation.

Esther shook her head in distress: "I don't know."

Yes, she didn't know what she was doing.

Fiona was obviously right that day, she just agreed to the dance. What was she struggling with?

Maybe she knew why, so she was so confused.

This morning's class is relatively relaxed Arithmetic Divination and History of Magic. Christmas is approaching and everyone is not focused on studying.

In the History of Magic class, Esther, like everyone else, was often distracted and scribbling in her notebook.

"Oh, I really envy the students from the other two schools who don't have to go to school." Donna cupped her chin and drew a simple drawing in her notebook.

Esther leaned over and took a look, and found that she was drawing a witch flying on a broom, but the drawing was messy, and she could only barely make out that the eyes were eyes and the nose was a nose.

All in all, the style of painting is a bit weird.

Esther only glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, also sighing and saying: "No matter how miserable it is, no one is as miserable as me."

After two duels with Beauxbatons students, Esther gradually became known to the students from the other two schools. Perhaps out of boredom, they began to take turns challenging Esther.

As of today, Esther has achieved 4 wins and 3 draws, and is about to catch up with the four warriors.

After winning the second duel, Professor Flitwick was very pleased with Esther's performance. He once again lamented that Esther should be assigned to Ravenclaw, and then taught Esther some dueling skills during the break. train.

As a former duel champion, Flitwick's strength should not be underestimated. Under his guidance, Esther could achieve such undefeated results.

The price was that her spare time was repeatedly squeezed and she was forced to study again.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the dance these days, so no one asked her for a duel anymore, but Professor Flitwick's training was not neglected.

And because of the last student duel between her and Durmstrang, she almost lost this one because the opponent knew a lot of black magic that she had never heard of, so Draco secretly found her to ask for it. Teach her some dark magic.

Durmstrang allowed students to practice and learn black magic, but Hogwarts did not allow it. According to Esther's character, she should have refused, but after thinking about it, she agreed.

So every day after she learned dueling skills from Professor Flitwick, she would sneak to the Room of Requirement and study dark magic with Draco for a short while.

One day she mentioned that she was studying Occlumency recently, and Draco studied Occlumency and Legilimency with her.

Although Draco didn't know how to do Occlumency at this time, it was much better for the two of them to study together than for Esther to be blinded by herself.

After finishing all her classes that day, Esther went to Professor Flitwick for training as usual, and then went to the Room of Requirement again.

"I think the problem now is that there is no point in researching like this. Maybe we should do it in practice." Draco closed the book and said to Esther: "Will you try Legilimency on me?"

Esther refused: "No, Legilimency is too dangerous. I can't fully master it yet. It would be bad if something happens."

Draco smiled. At their request, the Room of Requirement turned into a place similar to the school library. There were some messy books on all sides. They sat at the same table and read facing each other.

"I was just joking, and I didn't really want you to use Legilimency on me." He explained.

When the young man spoke properly, there was no trace of anger in his eyes, and his pale eyes were as clear as crystal.

Esther silently looked away, looking slightly uncomfortably through his back at the bookshelf behind him.

"It's best not to make such jokes, otherwise if I take it seriously, you will be in trouble."

Draco watched her reaction with interest, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"I think I might have to do one more thing." He said slowly while watching Esther.

"what's up?"

Esther turned her questioning eyes to him.

Draco coughed lightly, sat upright and said, "Prom, you haven't officially agreed to my invitation to the dance."

The scene fell silent for an instant, and Esther froze, as if she was under a petrification spell for a moment.

"Ah I……"

She murmured a few unintelligible words, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

But she knew very well that at this time, the more panicked the more suspicious it seemed, and it was only normal to accept or reject openly.

Like Fiona said, it's just a dance.

So she forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath before speaking calmly: "Well, as long as you don't mind dancing with a Hufflepuff, then I don't mind dancing with a Slytherin either."

Draco showed a bright smile, but then he suppressed the smile, leaned back, and tried to look calm: "Don't worry, no one dares to question you. After all, your reputation as "Duel Master" has already been If word gets out, no one will talk about you without looking at you."

Esther couldn't help complaining: "No, what's the matter with Duel Master? Why are everyone so keen on giving me nicknames?"

Draco answered her: "Then you have to ask the people in your college. They are unexpectedly interested in you. Many of your deeds were first reported from them."

Esther said "tsk" without surprise, looking very troubled by the enthusiasm of her classmates.

"Don't think about other things first." Draco interrupted her thoughts and looked at her steadily: "Is your dress ready?"

Esther: "Uh... not yet."

Draco was not surprised by the answer: "I knew it."

Fortunately he was prepared.

Esther didn't know what he was thinking, so she explained: "But I have a lot of dresses, just ask my mother to mail me one."

Draco frowned dissatisfied: "Are you so casual?"

Esther defended unconvincedly: "It's not casual. All my dresses and skirts are very expensive, okay? They are all famous brands!"

"Ha, Muggle brand." Draco snorted disdainfully.

"Don't look down on the Muggle brand." Esther waved her finger at him: "It's like you can fly in a wizard's dress."
