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

Donna pulled Esther, who was so disgusted that she couldn't move, away from here and went to the black lake to relax.

After taking a breath of fresh air, Esther felt like she was alive again.

"Are you OK?"

Donna asked her worriedly.

Esther took a deep breath and shook her head, her face still a little bit sad: "It's much better. It's not that I'm being pretentious. The main thing is that Weasley was too..."

She showed an expression that was hard to explain.

Donna looked like she understood: "It's indeed a bit disgusting. It seems that his wand is broken and the spell bounced back to himself. By the way, what did the word Malfoy just said mean? It made him react so much."

Donna was a Muggle wizard and, like Hermione, knew nothing about any of this. Esther's parents and relatives have never said this word to her. If it weren't for the fact that she traveled through time, she would probably not know what this word means like Donna and the others.

This shows that Draco's parents or friends must have said this word in front of him and made him remember it.

"That's not a good word. It's insulting and dirty." She said tactfully: "Malfoy is too much. How could he say such a word to Granger?"

But it doesn't matter, he will get his comeuppance next year.

Esther thought silently.

Donna frowned and didn't ask much.

They sat here for a while and then went back.

The next few days were uneventful, and the dispute did not cause much repercussions.

October has ushered in a wet and cold season in the UK. It has been raining for a few days before Halloween. The cold rain mixed with the cool breeze fell, causing many students and staff to accidentally catch colds.

Esther is in good health and pays attention to keeping warm, so she recovered completely from the cold caused by the cooling. However, Cathy and Fiona were both sick in their dormitory. They stayed in the infirmary for two days and recovered when they returned. After missing a lot of classes, the task of helping them make up for them naturally fell on Esther.

This Halloween, Nearly Headless Nick is going to hold his death anniversary party. There are many ghosts that he has never seen before, floating in the air in the castle.

Because "Nearly Headless Nick" is the ghost of Gryffindor, he invited many Gryffindor students to attend his anniversary party. Of course, he also invited people from other houses, but the number was definitely not as high as that of Gryffindor. many.

Esther did not join in the fun. Although she did not remember the specific time clearly, she was certain that the secret room was opened within the past few days. Therefore, for the safety of her own life, apart from attending classes during this period, she did nothing but I sit in the lounge reading and studying alone and rarely go out.

The food for dinner tonight was good. Esther and her roommates finished their meal and talked to Ernie for a while, mainly listening to him complain about the recent classes, especially the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

After eating, they went back when there was a sudden commotion in front of them.

Ernie grabbed a senior student and asked what was going on ahead.

"I heard that something was wrong with Filch's cat, and everyone came over to take a look."

The senior said something simple and hurried forward. Esther and Ernie looked at each other. Ernie had a hint of interest in his eyes. Without waiting for Esther to speak, he grabbed her hand and ran.

I trotted all the way to the third floor, where many students were already gathered. Administrator Filch's pet cat, Mrs. Norris, was hung upside down on a torch on the wall, her body stiff and unsure of life or death. Written in blood on the wall of the corridor is "The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware."

Esther immediately understood that this was the official start of the secret room plot.

The three Harrys were surrounded in the middle, looking at loss. Next to them was Filch, who was screaming in terror. "My cat! You! You killed my cat!" Filch stared at Harry fiercely: "I want to make you look good!"

"No, not me, it was like this when I arrived!" Harry argued.

Filch didn't listen and still glared at Harry fiercely.

Fortunately, Principal Dumbledore and other professors arrived at this time. Principal Dumbledore removed the cat and called Filch and Harry away. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape also followed.

The professor, Harry and the others left, and the rest of the students were dismissed.

Everyone dispersed, but the discussion on this matter did not end there.

There are many pure-blood wizards in Hogwarts, and there are always a few who know more about this matter, so they start to educate others who are unaware.

"More than 1000 years ago, Muggles feared and feared wizards. They used various means to persecute wizards. In order to protect wizards, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw Four powerful wizards like Salazar Slytherin founded Hogwarts to hide from Muggles.

At first, the four founders had a good relationship, but then Salazar Slytherin had a conflict with several other people's ideas. He believed that Hogwarts should only admit children from pure-blood families, and there should not be any children born from Muggles. , because these children are very unreliable. After a quarrel with Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts in a rage and has never been seen again.

It is said that Salazar Slytherin left a secret room in the castle. He closed the secret room before leaving Hogwarts. Only his true heir can open the secret room, release the horrible things inside, and remove all those he deems unworthy. A Muggle-born wizard who studies magic. "

In the Hufflepuff common room, a senior taught everyone about the Chamber of Secrets.

After he finished speaking, many people present turned pale.

Hufflepuff not only has the largest number of people among the four houses, but also has the largest number of Muggle-born wizards, so uneasiness quickly spread among them.

"Is this a legend? Is there a possibility that someone deliberately played a prank to scare us?"

Questions were raised.

"We don't rule out the possibility, but lately everyone should be careful and don't act alone."

The prefect frowned and said: "Especially for students in the lower grades, no matter whether they are going to school or doing anything else, they must be together in at least two people and never be alone." "

Everyone agreed.

In fact, most people really thought it was a prank, or a ploy used by Slytherin to frame Harry.

Except for some younger juniors, most people didn't take it to heart.

Ernie also thought it was a prank, but he still couldn't help but told Esther: "Don't run around recently, be careful." After saying that, he turned to look at Justin: "You too."

Esther can be considered a pure-blood wizard in a broad sense, but her good brother Justin is a pure Muggle wizard.

Justin didn't care much: "No, do you really think there is a secret room?"

Esther was silent because she knew that Justin would be one of the students who was petrified.

For your own safety, it’s better to stay away from him these days.
