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

"Fifth grade is the O.W.L year!"

On the second day of school, when they came to the auditorium for dinner, Ernie vowed to Esther: "I will study hard this year and strive to get good grades!"

Perhaps it was because becoming a prefect inspired him. At this time, Ernie was full of energy and looked very positive and full of sunshine.

Justin made a cheering gesture to him without hesitation: "Come on, brother, I believe in you."

Esther, on the other hand, was discussing the class schedule with Cathy and had no time to pay attention to him for the time being.

"Cathy, which house are our two Potions lessons today with?"

Esther asked as she ate her bread.

Cathy on the side said with a frown: "With Slytherin, many of this year's courses are taken with Slytherin, including History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Donna looked over after hearing their conversation: "History of Magic is not bad. No matter which college I take it with, it's just a different place to daze or sleep. Potions class is a bit difficult. As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class... "

She frowned slightly, showing a hint of disgust: "This new teacher doesn't look like a good person. He is very similar to a Muggle teacher I had when I was in school. That teacher was very annoying."

"I don't like her either." Fiona also whispered to everyone: "Look at how she is deliberately pretending to be a little girl despite her age. It's really disgusting."

Cathy also agreed with the complaints of her roommates, but out of respect for the professors, she still said a kind word for Umbridge: "Maybe many professors have weird tempers, but as long as they can teach the classes they are supposed to teach well, That’s it.”

"Oh, we change Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers every year. It would be great if Professor Lupin always taught us." Donna sighed with her face in hand.

Esther, who had been silent until now, nodded silently.

Indeed, compared to Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers in the following years became more and more dangerous.

While they were talking, they finished their breakfast and went to class.

After not seeing him for a whole summer, Professor Snape still looked gloomy and indifferent, and showed no mercy when deducting points in class.

As for why everyone doesn’t like taking potions classes with Slytherin, that’s because if you take classes with students from the other two houses, then Professor Snape will treat them equally, even if you take classes with Gryffindor If they go together, they will be more "biased" towards Gryffindor.

But if they go together with Slytherin, then only their academy can withstand the firepower.

Less than 10 minutes into class, Hufflepuff had already lost five points.

When the potion was boiled later, it was even more of a disaster scene.

In Potions class, if there is a grouping requirement, Esther is usually divided into a group with Cathy or Ariana. They are usually responsible for handling the materials, and Esther is responsible for mixing and making.

This time was no exception, she and Cathy were divided into a group.

Esther was frightened as she heard the voice of "What are you doing with this? Five points from Hufflepuff" ringing in her ears.

She was very energetic and stirred strictly according to the steps in the book, while Cathy put the processed potion ingredients into the crucible at the appropriate time.

Snape passed them and paused for a few seconds without making any comment.

This shows that he really can't find anything wrong.

Everyone in one class was exhausted, and when the get out of class ended, Hufflepuffs quickly left the Potions classroom as if they were fleeing.

When walking through the auditorium, in the scoring hourglass of the four houses, Hufflepuff was obviously more important than Gryffindor next to him.

Esther has a complicated heart. It is estimated that Hufflepuff will still be in the top three this year.

They walked through the crowd and saw Fred, George and a sixth-year Hufflepuff boy whispering something.

She glanced curiously and gained their attention. They waved to her from a distance and shouted in unison: "Happy new semester, Miss Hufflepuff Star, would you like to try our upgraded version of perfume? "

As soon as they mentioned perfume, Esther understood that they had developed some products related to love potions.

She didn't think about the bottle of perfume they gave her last time as a love potion at all. After all, in her understanding, the magical witch series products they developed later had pink and tender packaging and colors. Her bottle of perfume looked ordinary.

Looking back later, it was no wonder that Draco was suddenly so happy to invite her to the ball. It turned out that he had revealed that he liked him first.

What an annoying guy. He obviously knew that the perfume was wrong, but he didn't tell her and deliberately made fun of her.

Anyway, Esther didn't dare to take whatever they gave her casually.

"Thanks, but no, I'm in a hurry!"

Esther answered them while pulling Cathy away from here quickly.

"I think the Weasley twins seem to like teasing you. Are you familiar with each other?" Cathy whispered to Esther.

Esther sighed: "It's just that my house and his house are very close, and sometimes I go to play with them."

And she is now their second-largest investor.

The first one is Harry.

Harry originally wanted to give all the prize money from the Triwizard Tournament to Cedric, because he believed that Cedric would win if nothing unexpected happened.

But the Diggory couple didn't think so, and in the end the bonus was divided into two, with Harry keeping half and the Diggory couple taking the remaining half.

If Cedric's treatment had not cost a lot of gold galleons, they wouldn't have asked for half of it.

Afterwards, Harry gave half of his money to Fred and George, and this summer Esther also helped the Weasley twins collect five hundred gold galleons.

They already have a relatively clear plan for their future, which is to open a joke shop in Diagon Alley.

If it weren't for Mrs. Weasley's disapproval, they would have dropped out of school this year to open a shop.

Today's classes were pretty easy except for the potions class which was a bit difficult.

After returning to the lounge after school in the afternoon, the fifth grade students were discussing today's Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

"You don't know, today Umbridge is still wearing the same pink cardigan she wore yesterday, and even has a black bow on her head. Can you imagine that feeling? It's like a fly landing on a pink On the toad’s head!”

Susan, who was always polite to teachers, rarely used such derogatory words to describe a teacher.

"And she really has a lot of things to do." Justin continued to complain: "If the class answers a question with a low voice, she will ask us to answer it again."

"What's more important." Hannah also said with great dissatisfaction: "She didn't teach us any practical skills and only let us read the theories in the book. For this reason, the Gryffindor students even had a big fight with him. Harry was even placed in solitary confinement.”

As the conversation continued, the topic turned to Harry.

When he publicly contradicted Umbridge in class, he emphasized his experience in the Triwizard Tournament that day.

This was the first time he mentioned these things in front of the public.

But most people still think he is talking nonsense.

This has made Harry's life quite uncomfortable because of rumors wherever he goes lately.
