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

On the morning of the next day, Esther started her "encounter" with the Marauder's Map.

Like last time, she chose to do it during the day this time, and it was a time when there was a lot of traffic.

Before leaving, she saw Barty Crouch and Moody in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the Marauder's Map.

The real Moody has been hidden in a suitcase carried by Crouch Jr. in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

Even if Harry got the Marauder's Map, he probably wouldn't care when he saw this situation. He might think that Mr. Crouch Sr. was chatting with Moody.

After all, he didn't know that Crouch Sr. had a son with the same name as him.

And even those who know the existence of Barty Crouch Jr. probably won’t suspect anything, because Crouch Sr. personally sent his son to Azkaban. In everyone’s impression, Barty Crouch Jr. has already Died in Azkaban.

Esther's current series of activities is to know the result derivation process, just like last year, the details are completely consistent, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can still notice a little weirdness.

However, no one has noticed this weirdness so far, so Esther continues to use this trick with peace of mind.

Her plan was to ask questions about the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, walk around the Dark Arts classroom, and then naturally find some weird places.

For example, it shows that Crouch is in the office, but he is not at the scene; another example is that Professor Moody is obviously moving, but the map shows that he is motionless.

Isn't this suspicious?

The idea was ideal, but when she walked to Professor "Moody"'s office door and knocked on the door for a long time, no one responded.

No one inside?

No way, the person left in such a short time?

Esther frowned, took out the Marauder's Map, and looked down.

It doesn't matter at this glance, because the door will be opened the next second.

Esther was caught red-handed.

"Mine-san? What are you doing here?"

"Moody" came a serious voice.

Fortunately, she turned slightly sideways to look at the map, so "Moody" didn't see clearly what she was holding in her hand.

Esther forced herself to calm down, and tucked the Marauder's Map into her notes as if nothing had happened. While turning her head, she quickly opened the textbook.

"Professor, I have a question for you."

She said timidly while pointing to a passage in the textbook.

"Moody's" magic eye turned around and glanced at her suspiciously, but he didn't say anything. He just turned sideways to let her in.

"I have long heard that you love to study, but you are not very active in my class. You may be afraid of me. But I am still very happy that you can muster up the courage to come to me and ask questions. Come in." "

Esther had already backed down at this moment.

She knew that "Moody" probably didn't see anything, and he was very confident in his acting skills, but when it came to this point, she actually felt like he was "in a cocoon."

I always felt that he was a little suspicious of her now. It might be a bit dangerous to go in directly, but it would be more guilty if he didn't go in.

There was no time for her to think too much, she had to make a decision quickly.

Her brain was working rapidly, but she still maintained a nervous and timid look on the outside, and cautiously said "Okay".

"But Professor, I may not have much time to listen to your lecture, because I have to go to Professor Snape later. Before the start of the Christmas vacation, I was fined for not answering questions in class. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I was fined for Professor Snape temporarily gave me a day off because of the Yule Ball, and I will make up for it today. I said hello to Professor Snape before I came, and he asked me to come over as soon as possible."

She quickly gave herself a reason. If "Moody" understood, it would be best for her to go directly to Professor Snape first. If she was still allowed to go in, at least her words revealed that Professor Snape was waiting for her. If there was something wrong with her, he would be the first suspect.

For the Dark Lord's resurrection plan, "Moody" would definitely have some scruples, at least he would not dare to kill her.

As long as she has some scruples, she has the possibility of dealing with it.

"Snape?" Moody snorted with some displeasure: "This is indeed not an easy teacher to get along with. In this case, then hurry up and answer your questions."

Saying this, he motioned for Esther to come in.

There was no other way, Esther had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

There was nothing suspicious about his office. Esther looked around carefully, then withdrew her gaze and continued to play the role of a well-behaved but timid student.

She asked questions in a decent manner, and "Moody" also answered her questions seriously.

As expected of a former top student, he could clearly explain to her the questions she asked casually.

"Any more questions? Mayne-san?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Esther and asked.

Esther shook her head quickly: "No more, Professor, thank you, then I'll leave first!"

She said, wanting to leave the office quickly.

However, "Moody" stopped her: "Wait a minute, classmate Mayne, I have something else to ask you."

Esther froze and turned around, asking in a low voice: "Is there anything else you can do, Professor?"

Moody suddenly pulled out his wand.

Esther immediately subconsciously clenched her wand and made a very alert posture.

"Moody" saw her look and suddenly smiled: "You seem to be too wary of me, as if I will do something to hurt you in the next second."

Esther knew that her reaction was a bit too intense. She swallowed hard and said as naturally as possible: "Yes, because your appearance scares me, and what you do later makes me even more scared. "

Perhaps her overly sincere answer dispelled some of the doubts. "Moody" slowly put down his wand and his tone softened: "I know that many people are afraid of my appearance, but I will not hurt people casually. If If you really have a clear conscience, of course you don't have to be afraid, I won't attack ordinary students at will."

Esther nodded silently: "I understand, Professor, can I leave now?"

"Moody" nodded.

Esther breathed a subtle sigh of relief. Just as she turned her head, she suddenly heard a light and rapid spell.

Her body reacted faster than she expected. Before the spell was completely cast, her body had already quickly dodged to the side, dodging the blow in a slightly embarrassed manner.

She was extremely surprised and extremely scared.

Because what she worried about most happened.

"The power of this magic eye is much greater than you think. What did you just take outside?"

"Moody" looked at her coldly.
