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

Although Professor Snape no longer teaches Potions class, his Defense Against the Dark Arts class still continues the style of the usual Potions class, which is very difficult for Esther.

"To be honest, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts class is like a haunted house once you enter it. Even if you don't touch it lightly, there are so many twisted and terrifying paintings on the walls. It would scare even a timid person to go in. .”

During the meal, everyone gathered together to complain, and Ernie couldn't help but tell everyone.

"Compared to this, I want to know how the potions class is? The new Professor Slughorn should be easier to get along with than Professor Snape." Justin asked him.

Among all the sixth-grade students in Hufflepuff, Ernie was the only one whose potions scores met the standard and could carry out more advanced studies.

Speaking of Professor Slughorn, Ernie's expression became more vivid: "He is indeed much easier to get along with than Professor Snape, and he does not discriminate against Muggle-born wizards at all. He even treated Hermione Granger in class. Jay appreciates it very much, and he doesn't seem to like Slytherin students very much, and it can be felt that he doesn't like Malfoy very much."

When Esther heard Draco's name, she subconsciously tilted her head slightly, but she didn't say anything and continued to listen to their discussion.

Justin said: "But I heard that Professor Slughorn seems to have graduated from Slytherin. How could he not favor Slytherin students?"

Susan came over and said, "Maybe it's because Malfoy's father has been involved in Death Eater rumors recently, and Professor Slughorn doesn't want to have anything to do with them."

Having said this, Ernie subconsciously looked up at Esther, who was eating calmly next to him, with a somewhat worried expression: "Maybe, it's not surprising at all that the Malfoy family has an intersection with the Dark Lord. Professor Slughorn made the right choice."

His words meant something, but Esther pretended not to hear him.

Seeing her like this, Ernie felt even more sad, and even the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

However, his friends were completely unaware of this and were still curiously asking him what he had learned in Potions class recently.

"Some more advanced potions." Ernie suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and answered his friends' questions: "And Professor Slughorn also made a small bottle of Felixir as a reward. Who can do it in this class?" Whoever makes the most perfect potion will get it, and in the end Harry takes the Elixir."

Having said this, he still had some small regrets: "Harry's previous Potions class was obviously not that good. I suspect that he studied secretly during the summer vacation. Otherwise, how could he have improved so quickly?"

No, he's not you. He can't study secretly during the summer vacation. It's just that he has the "Half-Blood Prince's Potions Textbook" plug-in.

Esther thought silently.

She also wanted to see the potions textbook that Professor Snape used during school. With her relationship with Professor Snape, if she asked him directly for it, would Professor Snape give it to her?

Well... Actually, there is no need to think about it, Professor Snape will definitely not give it to her.

She sighed in frustration, Harry was really lucky.

But Ernie's words also reminded her that the Elixir was indeed a very useful thing. She vaguely remembered that during the final battle, Harry distributed the Elixir to a small group of students, so a group of students Only then could he hold a wand and fight with a group of vicious Death Eaters.

She might be able to get more elixirs and distribute them to more students to reduce the casualty rate.

However, the blessing elixir is really difficult to get, and given her current situation, she probably won't be able to successfully develop it herself.

Professional things should still be left to professionals. She can't make it, but Professor Snape certainly can, but how to get Professor Snape to help make it is a problem.

Esther was lost in thought.

……

"Slughorn is really dim-sighted. He actually thinks so highly of Granger, a Muggle wizard!"

Draco complained to Esther.

Since they are all prefects this year, dating is much more convenient than before.

They set the location in the Room of Requirement again. Draco rolled up his sleeves to reveal a small arm and sat upright at an overly ornate long table. In front of him were crucibles, scales and various props, as well as him. Potions textbook.

He carefully stirred the potion while talking to Esther: "He doesn't look like a Slytherin at all! And I don't know what happened to that bastard Potter this year. The level of the potion rose so fast. He was obviously not as good as me before." , but now they are suppressing me at every turn, I can’t admit defeat!”

"So you secretly preview the potions you'll learn tomorrow after class?"

Esther sat opposite him, lying lazily on the table, raising her chin with her right hand and watching Draco brew the potion.

"This is called being prepared!" Draco muttered, "I can't lose to Potter."

It's a pity that no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to others who have cheats.

Esther swallowed these words. She was very dissatisfied with Draco's secretly involved behavior: "It's obviously our date, but you are studying here. Do you really not care about me at all?"

Draco glanced at her and said mercilessly: "You first take a look at the books scattered next to you. It was obviously you who started it. You have been reading books about potions since the last date. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so nervous.”

Esther felt guilty and pushed the book next to her away. Due to the intense fifth-grade classes, she usually didn't have time to study the elixir of happiness, so she secretly took a few glances at it during the date.

"Alright alright."

Esther sighed: "Just do your homework as hard as you can. It's because of you, the paper kings, that it adds so much pressure to a wonderful study life."

Draco:? ? ? ?

He couldn't understand what she was talking about, but at the moment when his potion was at its most critical, he simply shut up and brewed it carefully.

Esther didn't bother him either.

To be honest, Esther couldn't match him in terms of talent in potions class, so she didn't dare to point fingers at him, let alone offer any opinions.

Finally, the potion was brewed successfully. Draco put it into a crystal bottle and carefully considered the color of the potion, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

"It's not particularly successful, but it's a bit shallower than the textbook standards."

He frowned and said, "This won't work. If I do this, I will definitely lose to Potter again tomorrow. I have to try again."

Esther couldn't help but shake her head after hearing this, forget it, she'd better read a book for a while.

Whose date ends with both of them busy studying?

What's more, neither of them are Ravenclaws.

Is it worth trying so hard?
