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

Before setting off, Esther took a deep breath as if she was about to die, and then walked towards Professor Snape's office with her textbooks and notes in everyone's sympathetic eyes.

Professor Snape's office is in the basement, which is closer to Slytherin's rest room than Hufflepuff's common room.

Walking through the dark corridor and arriving at the office door, she mentally prepared herself for a while before daring to knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Snape's cold and low voice reached her ears through the wooden door.

It's hard to tell what his mood is now, because he never seems happy.

Pushing the door open and entering, there was still the faint smell of bitter potion in the air just like yesterday. The only difference was that the four of them, Malfoy, had arrived earlier than her and were dealing with a bucket of slimy creatures.

According to Esther's common sense, this should be a relatively common creature in the magical world - a slug.

Soon Ron would be holding the bucket and vomiting this stuff.

It was really disgusting. If she were Ron, she would stop talking.

Esther thought this way, with a hint of disgust on the surface.

Then this dislike was immediately noticed by Draco and Pansy who were watching her. The former glared at her with some annoyance, while the latter wanted to throw the slug in his hand at her face.

All in all, they don’t look good.

"Miss Esther Mayne, are you so curious because you want to help them process tomorrow's potion ingredients, or do you have a crush on this slimy mollusk?"

Professor Snape's cold voice came.

He was sitting at the teaching desk, correcting homework with a frown on his face.

Esther came back to her senses and quickly admitted her mistake with a smile: "I'm sorry, Professor, should we start making up the lessons now?"

His office was quite large and neatly tidied up. Esther stood in front of the long desk where he worked, feeling a little at a loss.

Snape slowly put down the corrected homework, took out his wand with his left hand and waved it, and a stool appeared inexplicably next to Esther.

"Sit down and open the textbook. Although I promised to help you make up the lessons, I hope you have previewed them before class."

She didn't expect to be able to sit down, and Esther felt a little surprised. Maybe she was frightened, and she actually had the illusion that "Professor Snape is quite nice."

"I briefly previewed it at noon, Professor."

She straightened her back, braced herself and began to deal with Snape.

"very good."

He said lightly and then started teaching.

The one-on-one lecture from Severus Snape was a bit difficult. He kept asking questions. Fortunately, Esther had really previewed and could handle his questions, and she was not a potion expert. , follow the steps step by step, and there will be no accidents of the crucible melting or exploding.

Time passed by, and Draco took the lead in completing their labor punishment. Snape simply checked them and then let them go.

To be honest, Esther breathed a sigh of relief, staggering one after the other, at least she didn't have to leave with them.

Of course, it would be better if she left first.

Generally speaking, the first class of school does not cover much content. Esther's performance was perfect and there was no chance for Snape to deduct points. Finally, she completed the class assignment seriously. Professor Snape checked it over and found that he couldn't make any mistakes, so he waved her away.

Esther was completely relieved. She quickly picked up her book and bowed politely to Snape: "Thank you, Professor. Good night, Professor!"

Turn around and leave.

The figure from behind is quite impatient.

After closing the office door, Esther obviously felt relaxed.

She jumped a little, thinking that the incident caused by yesterday's accident had come to an end, and she could finally return to her ordinary Hogwarts life!

She couldn't help but have a relieved smile on her face, and she skipped back to the lounge.

Otherwise, go to the kitchen to get something to eat later.

The Hufflepuff common room was so close to the kitchen, and she would be sorry for herself not to explore it.

With a happy smile, she was stopped by someone as she passed a corner.

Draco Malfoy crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly.

The boy was half a head taller than her, and his neatly styled pale blond hair shone in the dim corridor, like a soft ray of moonlight.

What is more outstanding than his hair is his appearance. His skin is pale to a sickly level, fair and clean, without the acne or freckles that children of his age should have. His nose is straight, his lips are light, and his face is delicate. Oval face.

This made him look very delicate, but not feminine because his expression was too arrogant.

Those big and beautiful gray-blue eyes looked at her condescendingly, with a sneer on the corners of her lips: "Very happy?"

Esther quickly backed away warily: "Malfoy, what are you going to do?"

Draco continued to sneer and approach step by step: "I kindly let you go yesterday, but you made me not only laughed at by others, but also deducted points by our dean."

Esther stepped back and looked around. Unfortunately, it was almost curfew time and there were no students passing by.

What's even more unfavorable is that under Draco's pressing step by step, Esther panicked and ran into a blind corner.

You were careless, you should have run away from the beginning!

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about filing a complaint. I was too afraid of fainting, so I made the matter bigger."

Esther leaned against the cold stone wall, looking at the boy who was only two steps away from her, blinking her watery eyes while thinking about countermeasures.

She didn't even know a few spells now, and she was definitely not as good as Malfoy, who was already in his second year, when it came to using spells. She could only knock him unconscious and run away.

She has never learned any martial arts and only knows a few self-defense techniques. However, looking at Malfoy's rather thin figure, she might be able to defeat him if he were to surprise him.

And with his face-saving character, he would definitely not talk about it if he was beaten.

She was silently calculating in her mind, and Draco raised his head again and said slowly: "I see, you are indeed quite timid."

As he spoke, there was a look of disgust on his face: "I didn't scare you, I didn't even say a harsh word, and I stopped Pansy from attacking you. Just like that, you were scared like that. Your Are you as brave as a rabbit? Congratulations, you have given another example of your Hufflepuff cowardice."

Esther:…

Didn't you scare her?

Didn't even say a harsh word?

Has he lost his memory? Or is there something wrong with his head?

"……sorry."

She squeezed out these words with difficulty.

"Aside from saying sorry, would you say anything else?"

He seemed a little dissatisfied.

Esther:…

I won’t say anything else, but I’m planning to knock you down.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to say."

Esther continued to open her eyes, acting weak, pitiful and helpless.

Draco clicked his tongue and took a step forward with an unhappy expression: "Well, if you promise to help me with something, I'll let you go."

Esther: "What happened?"

Let me listen to you first before deciding whether to hit you or not.

"I want you to monitor Harry Potter and his gang at all times, and report anything to me as soon as possible."

Esther:…

I didn't know what to say for a moment.
