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

The dinner at the auditorium was richer than lunch, but as the game time approached, Esther felt a little unsatisfied.

She managed to take two bites and then couldn't eat anymore.

After dinner time, everyone went to the Quidditch pitch, where a huge maze appeared.

The students sat down one after another, and then Professor McGonagall, Professor "Moody", Hagrid and Professor Flitwick went to patrol in the four directions, so that they could arrive as soon as possible if a player asked for help.

Esther glanced at the auditorium and saw no sign of Professor Snape.

Already in?

Esther wasn't so sure.

The four warriors entered the maze one by one. The dark tunnel swallowed their figures, and everything became unpredictable.

Esther clenched her fists nervously. She inadvertently met Dumbledore's eyes. The wise and powerful old man saw through the anxiety under her calm appearance, so he nodded to her imperceptibly and asked her to rest assured.

Esther really couldn't relax until the last moment.

Her body was stiff and she stared straight ahead with an expressionless expression.

After the four warriors entered the maze, everyone could still hear some sounds at first, but as time passed, these sounds disappeared.

Facing the dark maze where nothing could be seen clearly, everyone's emotions gradually faded. After the excitement disappeared, all that was left was the boredom of waiting.

Two Ravenclaw students even took out their homework and reviewed it in public.

After all, the final exam is coming soon, so I cherish every minute and every second.

Just when everyone was bored, a scream came from the maze in the night sky, and faintly floated into the ears of the students through the night.

"I thought I heard a scream just now? Was it Fleur's scream?"

Ernie whispered to Justin.

Justin nodded solemnly: "I heard it too. Among the four brave men, only Furong is a girl, so the voice should be hers. But I didn't see her sending a distress signal. I don't know if she has escaped the difficulty or..."

He didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

There have been many deaths in the history of the Triwizard Tournament, so will someone die this time too?

Esther saw that Fleur's mother and sister's faces were pale. They were worried about Fleur, but the game was not over yet and they could not stop it.

As time passed, an ominous emotion enveloped Esther's heart. Her heart beat faster and faster, feeling that things might not be as simple to change as she imagined.

This feeling reached its peak when Professor Snape appeared alone with a sullen face.

Her heart sank, and her body became so weak that she could hardly sit still.

She watched what Snape said to Dumbledore with a serious expression. The originally calm Dumbledore's expression changed. He subconsciously looked at Esther, his eyes showing a bit of apology.

Then he stood up.

All the students who were waiting boredly looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said to everyone as if nothing had happened: "I'm sorry that I have to leave for some things, but don't worry, I will be back before the end of the game to cheer for the warrior who finally wins."

Perhaps he was too calm and no one had any bad emotions.

Esther finally came to her senses, and she stood up and walked outside.

"Ais? What are you doing?"

Ernie asked her with a confused look on his face.

A smile appeared on her face: "It's so boring. I also want to bring my homework and write it down."

Ernie thought something was wrong with her, but under the cover of the night he couldn't tell what was wrong.

So he just nodded and said, "Then when you come back, bring me some snacks."

Esther nodded and disappeared into the night at a trot.

She found only Professor Snape outside the castle.

"So Professor, what happened? You didn't succeed in preventing anyone else from having access to the trophy, did you?"

She asked breathlessly, with a tremor in her voice.

Snape's face looked very ugly, a bit paler than usual, and he also exuded a vague smell of blood.

Esther was sure he was injured, but because he was wearing a black robe, the extent of the injury could not be determined with the naked eye.

"I followed the fake Moody all the way and watched him use the Imperius Curse to control Krum and knock out Delacour. Then when he was about to attack Diggory, Potter appeared and they teamed up to knock Krum out. Then they separated." Professor Snape told Esther his experience without expression.

"At this time, I launched an attack on Little Crouch who was pretending to be Moody. After knocking him out, I prepared to knock out Diggory as well. This would ensure that the final champion could only be Potter."

At this point, a trace of complicated emotions flashed across Snape's face, and he continued: "But who would have thought that at the critical moment, little Crouch would come over again. I'm sure that the attack on him at that time could completely destroy him." A man was completely incapacitated, I don't know what kind of strength he had to stand up, but he found me and started attacking me."

"So you were held back, and when you finally got out and rushed back, Harry and Cedric had already won the trophy together, right?"

Esther softly guessed what would happen next.

"That's right." Snape said two words with a stiff expression.

After going round and round, the plot still returned to the original work. She didn't blame Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore, but she was a little disappointed.

Is the plot so powerful? She can only change some insignificant little things, but there is no way to change it. Everyone's fate?

"but."

Snape looked at Esther's pale face and said, "We have known for a long time what little Crouch did to the trophy, so Dumbledore also made some small modifications on it. If nothing else, At this time, he has already appeared beside Potter and the others."

But Cedric's death only happened in a moment, and it might be too late to rush over now.

A deep sense of frustration swept through her body, and she felt that she had once again taken things for granted.

Sure enough, there shouldn't be so many doubts and scruples. If she had known from the beginning, she would have asked her grandfather to send people to dig up the Riddle family's ancestral graves.

It was too late to say anything now. She could only pin everything on hope that her pendant would really bring good luck to Cedric.

Esther returned to the game in a daze.

Ernie saw her returning empty-handed and asked in surprise: "Didn't you go back to get something? Why are you back again?"

Esther said absently: "I just met Professor Snape and came back."

Ernie looked sympathetic: "Are you so afraid of Professor Snape now? Your face turns pale with fright."

Esther didn't explain anything.

Before the real ending comes, every minute and every second now is torture for her.

After an unknown amount of time, Dumbledore returned to the game with two figures.

The students who didn't know what was going on were the first to burst into cheers when they saw the figure, and then they realized something was wrong.

Because Harry was crying and yelling, "He's back! He killed Cedric!"

Esther's blood coagulated for a moment, and she almost stopped breathing.

"Oh, I guess you don't have to be so sad." In the silence, Dumbledore said to Harry, "Cedric is still breathing."
