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

The topic quickly turned to Harry, and Professor Slughorn mentioned the fuss they had in the Department of Mysteries some time ago.

Esther adheres to the principle of never saying another word if she can remain silent, and tries to reduce her presence as much as possible.

She didn't know whether Professor Slughorn believed what Harry said, but she knew that Professor Slughorn was very eloquent. After dinner, Esther already wanted to leave, but he still kept talking to everyone. chat.

Now Esther finally understood why her father David disliked this kind of social setting so much.

It turns out that communication between adults is so cumbersome and boring.

It wasn't until dark that Professor Slughorn stopped talking, as if he had just noticed that so much time had passed, and asked everyone to leave.

Esther stood up and left almost immediately after he spoke.

If I had known he was so verbose, I wouldn't have been able to come up with an excuse.

Esther walked quickly, but to her surprise, Zabini followed her.

Since they were about to arrive at Hogwarts, everyone went back to their private rooms to change clothes or pack their luggage. The originally crowded aisles became much emptier without students continuing to play around.

Esther stopped and looked up at him warily: "Why are you following me?"

"I'm just a little curious." Zabini said slowly: "The Draco family has made a choice, and you seem to have made a choice too, so I am very curious about where your relationship will go."

Get sick!

Esther cursed in her mind, what are you curious about? Can't you just say that you want to watch the fun?

"I have nothing to do with him."

Esther said expressionlessly and decisively, as if she didn't want to hear Draco's name.

Zabini glanced at a cubicle next to him, then looked away, as if he suddenly realized: "You broke up, right? Because his father is a Death Eater, and you are Dumbledore's favorite disciple."

Esther frowned. She didn't want to talk about these things in public: "What protégé? I haven't even met Principal Dumbledore a few times. If you want to follow me, I don't want to talk to you."

She turned around and left.

After taking two steps, Zabini seemed to open a compartment and said in a joking tone: "Draco, did you just hear that?"

Esther paused and subconsciously turned her head to look over.

Zabini was seen standing next to the booth where they had just spoken, looking back at her, but the person in the box did not come out, and Esther didn't know if it was Draco.

"Brace, what are you talking about?"

A cold voice came, even though the voice was very soft and had been lowered subconsciously, Esther could still tell that it was indeed Draco's voice.

Zabini entered the cubicle and the door was closed.

Esther put away her surprised eyes, turned around and continued walking forward.

When she returned to her original cubicle, Ernie and Hannah had already put on their school uniforms, and they were inexplicably relieved to see Esther back.

"Thank God you're finally back." Ernie said: "What does that professor want from you?"

Esther dug out her school uniform and robe in her suitcase and said while putting it on: "Nothing, I just want to chat with some people who have relatives at home who are dignitaries."

"Oh?" Hannah frowned: "Isn't this new professor a Slytherin graduate?"

"Don't doubt it." As she spoke, Esther had already put on her robe and was arranging her hair: "He is a Slytherin graduate and was once the dean of Slytherin House. However, he is obviously much more talkative than Professor Spoo. .”

"Then what did he call us? Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Ernie asked curiously.

Esther shook her head: "I'm afraid not. I don't know exactly what to teach. Principal Dumbledore will naturally tell us when we get to school."

After a while, the train came to a slow stop.

Everyone got off the car and entered Hogwarts as usual, walked into the auditorium, sat down in their seats in the house, and waited for the sorting ceremony and dinner.

"Look! Harry is gone again."

Justin's sharp eyes noticed that Harry was not on the Gryffindor table, and he immediately shared it with his friends.

Not only him, but the Gryffindor students also discovered this. Hermione and Ron were very anxious. They looked at the door frequently, but Harry did not appear until the door was closed.

"Will Harry also drive the flying car into Hogwarts this time?"

Hannah guessed.

Everyone was already used to the fact that Harry had an accident, and they even began to speculate about what he had experienced and how he would enter Hogwarts.

"The last time he was with Weasley was when we were in second grade. Weasley is sitting in the seat now, so he probably didn't drive here." Ernie said: "Who knows what Harry has gone through. ?He always seems to have accidents."

"Maybe this is the price of celebrity." Hannah commented seriously.

While talking, this year's sorting ceremony has begun. The sorting process is much the same as in previous years. The sorting hat still advises students to unite.

After the sorting was over, the closed door opened again. Harry, with blood on his face, followed Professor Snape and walked over. He did not change into his school uniform and wore Muggle clothes. He walked towards Gryffindor calmly. What a long table.

His appearance caused a lot of discussion among students.

"Oh my God! Was Harry beaten by Professor Snape?" Justin exclaimed in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be possible. Although Professor Snape seems to want to put Harry into a cauldron and boil him, he has never hit a student. I feel more like something happened to Harry and Professor Snape went to fish him out." He did." Ernie guessed.

"Why didn't he wipe the blood on his face?" Hannah didn't understand: "And there seemed to be no wounds on his face, so where did the blood come from?"

"Who knows?"

"I didn't see Professor Snape at first. I thought he would finally stop teaching us this year! It's a pity that he showed up again."

"..."

Harry arrived just in time to start dinner. When the food appeared on the table, the Hufflepuffs stopped talking about Harry and concentrated on eating.

Esther bets that most of the students here are tired and hungry after taking the train for so long, and gossip is nothing compared to delicious food at this time.

While Esther was eating, she couldn't help but look at the Slytherin table.

There, Draco ate alone in silence, occasionally chatting with the people next to him. Compared with the high-spirited appearance in previous years, Draco was much quieter.

She knew that the reason why Harry was late was because he was wearing an invisibility cloak and eavesdropping on Draco's conversation. Let’s go back together on the train.

Normally Draco would definitely show off this matter to his friends around him, but today he seemed too absent-minded.

Esther looked away, and couldn't help but look at him again the next second.

This time, Draco actually noticed it and looked over.

Their eyes met unexpectedly.
