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

Esther's little trick could hide it from many people, but she certainly couldn't hide it from David.

Isn’t it already off work? Why is her father here?

Is this still her father who won't stay for a second longer when he can leave at the end of the day?

Esther had no choice but to continue pretending.

Sirius and other friends talked about Esther's situation.

"I really can't figure out the reason. You should be better at this than me. Please help your daughter take a look." Sirius handed Esther to David.

As soon as he heard other people's descriptions, David understood everything in his heart, and when he saw Esther's expression, he was very sure.

He snorted coldly in his heart. After all, he did not discredit his daughter in front of everyone. He just pretended to check it and said: "It's not a big problem, it's just a small curse. You can resume action in half an hour."

Everyone was relieved after hearing this.

Including Esther.

She looked at David with tears in her eyes and called daddy softly.

David sighed, unable to express his anger, so he stretched out his hand and flicked her head hard: "You! You are really good at looking for trouble. Can you just enter the Department of Mysteries? Do you know it's very dangerous inside?"

Esther covered her head and remained silent.

Harry stood up and explained to David with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I brought them into the Department of Mysteries."

Sirius comforted him and said: "It's not your fault, it's the mysterious man who is too cunning. You are just a group of children, you are already very brave."

"It's really not his fault. The biggest fault should be you." David looked at Sirius with a cold tone: "If it weren't for you, would they have come here?"

"Sirius didn't mean it..." Harry weakly explained for Sirius: "Actually, it's still my fault."

David snorted coldly.

He won't care too much about a child, but he will never let go of the child's parents easily. It's just that the situation is urgent now, and he doesn't have time to argue with Sirius. It's time for him to settle accounts when everything is over.

Members of the Ministry of Magic led by Fudge had just rushed to the fighting location.

With David around, Sirius wanted to go over and help.

David stopped him from leaving: "Stop running around and follow me to send these children out. If there are any problems along the way, I can't take care of so many people by myself."

"We don't need protection. Just now we dueled with many Death Eaters and successfully escaped," Neville said.

David glanced at him and immediately lost the confidence he had finally raised, and he shrank back subconsciously.

"Do you think this is a glorious thing?" David asked, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of acting so recklessly? If no one comes to save you, what will happen to you?"

Everyone fell silent.

Harry lowered his head even more.

Sirius rarely quarreled with David, but said in agreement: "That's right, you are indeed a bit reckless. No matter what happens, and us adults, you shouldn't rush out like this."

"sorry."

Harry apologized again.

The excitement of escaping death quickly disappeared, and everyone began to feel scared.

"Forget it, let's go out first and then talk."

Seeing their expressions, David sighed again and didn't mention it again.

When they walked out of the Ministry of Magic, Esther estimated that the time was almost up, so she patted her father David's hand and motioned for him to put her down.

David immediately let go, and Esther landed on her feet and made an excited sound: "I can really move!"

David twitched his lips and said nothing.

It was getting late.

On the deserted street, except for the flashing light sign of a bar not far away, only the streetlights gave off a dim light.

"Go back to 12 Grimmauld Place or Hogwarts?"

David looked to Sirius for advice.

He is not an official member of the Order of the Phoenix and doesn't quite know what they want to do.

"Go back to Hogwarts." Sirius rubbed his brows tiredly: "Professor McGonagall is going crazy."

David had no objection, but Harry did: "The others haven't come back yet!"

"This is not something you need to care about." David said to him: "Your task now is to return to Hogwarts to study hard, and then accept the punishment of leaving school privately."

As he spoke, he glanced at Esther specifically, with an expression that seemed to say, "If you don't do well in this exam, you'll be in trouble."

Esther didn't dare to speak. In fact, the current situation was much better than in the original work, at least it didn't happen suddenly during the exam.

They came to Hogsmeade Village through Apparition, and then returned to Hogwarts through the secret passage in Hogsmeade Village.

As expected, Professor McGonagall was already waiting for them.

"How dare you?" Professor McGonagall looked at them angrily: "Didn't I tell you to wait obediently? You are simply too bold!"

Everyone still didn't dare to say anything and could only obey Professor McGonagall's lecture.

"For that, I have to deduct thirty points from each of you."

Sirius on the side took a breath.

There were seven people in total, five of whom were Gryffindor students. This time Gryffindor lost 150 points.

Although she was deducted points, Esther was still very happy.

At least Sirius' life was saved.

David watched Esther being criticized with cold eyes and did not stop her.

He said that Professor McGonagall was still a little too kind and the punishment was not strong enough. He should have been put in solitary confinement for a long time to remember.

All dust settled.

Not long after, Sirius received the news that Dumbledore was back.

David saw that the matter was over and left in a hurry.

Sirius and Professor McGonagall took Harry to see Dumbledore, while the others went back to rest.

Walking out of Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione was still worried: "Why did Dumbledore find Harry alone?"

"It won't be more terrifying than a duel with a group of Death Eaters anyway," Ron comforted.

The injury on his hand has completely healed, and his energy continues to shine: "Today is such a magnificent day!"

"Yeah, Gryffindor has been deducted 150 points. How can it not be a big deal?" Hermione said angrily.

Ginny glanced at her silly brother and shook her head secretly.

Everyone discussed what had just happened and quickly went back to their respective college lounges.

There was no one around, so Esther took out the mirror and gently called Draco's name.

Almost immediately, Draco's figure appeared in the mirror.

"Where are you now? Are you injured?"

He asked anxiously across from him.

Esther shook her head and smiled brightly at him: "Draco, I'm back."
