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

"But I'm sorry Harry, I have already agreed to someone else's invitation."

Esther said to Harry apologetically.

After class today, Harry walked out from the side and extended a prom invitation to Esther.

Then he was rejected by Esther.

"Oh, okay." Harry said with visible disappointment, "I knew everyone had a partner. It seems I have to attend the dance alone."

He and Ron had been anxious for several days because of the prom, and now they were even more anxious.

Esther didn't know how to comfort him. She could only say: "You should be faster and not be so hesitant, otherwise you will really have no dance partner."

Harry nodded and left dejectedly.

Although Christmas is approaching, everyone must continue to attend classes. Other classes are fine. Teachers know that everyone's minds are wandering and will not criticize them too much. The only difference is the Potions class. Professor Snape will not criticize them. This group of students showed no mercy at all. The closer they got to Christmas, the more homework they had to do, causing everyone to wail.

So after rejecting Harry, Esther headed to the library with her homework in hand.

Esther didn't take Harry's invitation to the dance seriously. She knew that in the original book, Harry never found a dance partner because of his hesitation. In the end, when everyone around him was invited, he mustered up the courage to invite students from the same college. Parvati.

So maybe because he couldn't find a dance partner, Harry came to ask her.

Unexpectedly, she also agreed to other people.

She had recently stopped practicing Dark Arts or Occlumency with Draco because there was too much homework for either of them to spare.

She didn't even go to Flivy's training to teach dueling techniques recently.

In the library, she wrote her Potions homework with a grimace, feeling that Professor Snape was definitely taking revenge. Otherwise, why would he let him write such a long paper?

In the next class, someone will be selected to demonstrate the steps of making the potion that we are currently learning. Needless to say, this "honor" will definitely fall to Esther.

If she makes even the slightest mistake, Professor Snape will definitely use it to his advantage. Point deductions are fine, but solitary confinement or forced labor are not worth it.

After working hard for a long time, she finally finished her Potions homework seriously. Only the Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts homeworks were left unfinished.

She closed the book first and let her brain rest, feeling that everything was so unreasonable.

Why does she, a Hufflepuff, have to work so hard?

Where is the meaning?

Before she could think about it, Hermione sat opposite her with a book in her hands.

She didn't seem to be in a good mood. After saying hello to Esther, she asked, "I heard from Harry that someone has invited you to the ball, right?"

Esther was not surprised by Hermione's sudden gossip. She nodded and said, "Yes, so I can only refuse Harry's invitation."

"These two idiots!" Hermione sighed and cursed: "Especially Ron! He only remembered me after failing to invite others, and asked me to choose between Harry and him! I am not nobody. Invitation, why do they have to choose one of them perfunctorily when they remember that I am also a girl?"

Esther continued: "It's true that I can't speak, and going to the dance is not about falling in love. If they choose like this, they may really end up without a dance partner."

Hermione snorted angrily: "Then embarrass them, I don't care, I'm invited anyway."

Esther came closer and asked in a low voice: "Who invited you?"

Although she knows the plot of the original work, it doesn't stop her from gossiping.

Hermione smiled: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else first. I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble. It's Viktor Krum."

"Wow!" Esther raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Aren't you going to do the opening dance? Is your dress ready?"

Hermione nodded: "Ready, what about you Ace? Who invited you?"

After Esther agreed to Draco again, her mood was no longer coy. She could openly admit to everyone: "It's Draco Malfoy."

"Oh!" Hermione covered her mouth in surprise: "Well, your dance partner is more surprising than me."

Esther couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't know why she found it funny.

"There is no way, who made him the first person to invite me?" Esther pretended to be helpless: "He invited me before the dance even started."

In fact, she didn't even realize that the corners of her lips could not help but rise slightly.

"Well, you really should invite others earlier, right?" Hermione accepted calmly after being shocked.

If Krum can invite her, why can't Malfoy invite Esther?

Although she disliked Malfoy very much, Malfoy didn't invite her, so she couldn't complain.

Hermione knew that Esther was different from them. She had her own right to be friends. No matter what the reason for her friendship with Malfoy, she had no right to comment.

Esther looked at Hermione, not seeing a trace of dissatisfaction with her promise to Draco on her face, and felt a little touched in her heart.

She is indeed the woman who wants to be the Minister of Magic, and her character is quite mature.

You must know that girls of this age are always a little awkward. If you are an ordinary person, a good friend is very close to another person you hate. Who wouldn't explode if you change it?

After staring at her like this for a second, Esther suddenly discovered another problem.

"Hermione, your teeth seem to have changed a bit!"

Hermione grinned, showing her neat white teeth and said, "That day, Harry and Malfoy fought each other. Didn't my teeth grow wild due to the spell? Then I went to the infirmary to find Madam Pomfrey to help dispel the spell. She held up a mirror. Tell her to stop when the teeth return to their previous normal state."

Hermione smiled even more happily: "I asked her to do it a little too much, although my parents may not be happy because they are dentists and have their own set of perceptions, and they don't want me to use magic to change my teeth. , I feel this is unreliable.”

"But you really look good this way!"

Esther praised: "You will definitely shine at this dance!"

Facing Esther's compliments, Hermione felt a little embarrassed: "You are too exaggerated. You are unique in terms of beauty. If nothing else, your golden and smooth hair is very enviable. No. My hair is so fried that it usually takes a long time to comb it.”

So the topic naturally turned to hair care.

Anyway, Esther has really cherished her hair all her life, so she is very knowledgeable about it.

After successfully telling Hermione about the orange blossom scented shampoo she had been using recently, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished her homework.

shit!
