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

Esther didn't get tired of Draco for long before she left here.

When she came out Katie and her friend were no longer in the store.

"Ais, why have you been gone for so long?"

Donna waved to her from a distance.

Esther returned to her seat with a normal expression: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Do you still want to buy some quills later?"

"I want to buy it!" Fiona raised her hand: "I like collecting all kinds of notebooks and quills so much!"

They quickly drank the rest of the butterbeer and walked out of the bar together.

After they left, Draco came out of the private room.

"I thought you broke up, but now it seems that your relationship is really good, and you won't break up at this point."

Zabini walked up to Draco and said to him with a joking expression: "Would you like a drink? I'll treat you to it."

Draco frowned and looked around carefully to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, then lowered his voice and said to Zabini: "Don't mind your own business!"

Zabini showed a sneer: "Minding your own business? I'm just a little curious, not to mention that as a friend I have to give you a piece of advice. You shouldn't really be dazzled by the fact that the Dark Lord values ​​you, right? Think about it carefully Draco, the Dark Lord is not a person worthy of allegiance. As his subordinate, you will not get any benefits at all, and you may even risk your own life and family fortune."

Draco's frown deepened: "You don't want your life? If others heard what you said, would you still be alive?"

"I'm not afraid of those Death Eaters." A trace of disgust flashed in Zabini's eyes: "This is the advice I give you as a friend. You can listen to it if you want to. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Think of the Knott family. It can be said that his family was completely harmed by the Dark Lord."

He is also a pure-blood advocate, even more than Draco, but he is not as loyal to Voldemort as other pure-bloods. Compared to ordinary purebloods, he is calmer and more rational, so he can not be intimidated by Voldemort's powerful power and can view all this more calmly.

Draco pursed his lips tightly: "I also hope this is the last time you say these words to others."

In fact, he has realized the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Dark Lord. Maybe in the past, he would have been complacent because he received the mission sent by the Dark Lord, but seeing Esther almost die several times made him realize his inner feelings early. With his fragility and the horror of death, he now faced the Dark Lord with only fear and no worship.

But these thoughts cannot be said to the outside world. Even if Zabini is his friend, even if he says these things for his own good, he has to think more about it. What if he does it on purpose?

Are you saying these words on purpose to lure yourself into the trap?

So he chose to remain silent and leave quickly.

The only thing he worries about is that Zabini has guessed the relationship between him and Esther. Will he use this as a blackmail to harm Esther?

But on the other hand, he had grown up with Zabini and Draco knew exactly what kind of person he was and knew that he didn't like the Dark Lord, so there was a good chance that what he said was true.

if true...

Draco walked halfway, turned his head and took a deep look at Zabini, and swallowed the thank you on his lips.

Zabini looked at Draco's leaving figure and sneered slightly mockingly.

"Zabini! Do you still want to drink?"

A Slytherin student spotted him standing there alone and immediately greeted him warmly.

Zabini shook his head indifferently: "No, I want to go to the Literary Residence."

Buy some notebooks and quills for someone who's withdrawn and hasn't come over yet.

"Are you going to buy stationery?" Pansy heard his voice from a distance and walked over to him from her table: "We happened to be going too. Daphne wanted to buy some things for her sister. The weather was too cold. My sister is not in good health and did not come to Hogsmeade."

Zabini was reluctant to go with this group of girls. They were too noisy and stupid, but before he could refuse, Pansy had already pulled his robe and walked out as a matter of course.

"Hurry up, it's snowing too much outside, and there's nothing to go shopping. Let's go back after shopping. I don't know where Draco went. I haven't seen him all day today. Don't you think he's getting more serious now? Are you becoming more and more withdrawn? Almost like Nott."

……

Esther and her roommates finished shopping and were about to go back. It was really too cold in such a heavy snowstorm, and they all began to miss the warmth of the Hufflepuff lounge.

On the way back to school, a sharp scream pierced the sky and reached their ears clearly.

"Look! Who is that!"

Cathy's sharp eyes spotted a figure floating in the air not far away, with several panicked people standing next to it, and the screams came from there.

"What happened? Shall we go over and take a look?"

As Donna said this, she picked up Annie and ran forward. Seeing this, the others also caught up.

When they arrived there, Ron, Hermione and an unfamiliar Gryffindor girl held down a girl. Unsurprisingly, that girl was Katie, whom Esther had just seen.

She was still twisting and writhing in pain on the ground, as if she had encountered the most terrifying thing in her life.

"What happened?" Cathy hurriedly stepped forward to help hold Katie down. Donna's sharp eyes saw an opal necklace that fell on the ground. She went to pick it up curiously: "What is this?"

Esther was immediately shocked and shouted: "Don't touch!"

Donna was startled by her and subconsciously stopped her hand, not daring to touch it.

"What's wrong?" She looked at Esther with a puzzled look on her face: "Is there something wrong with this necklace?"

While talking, Harry ran over with Hagrid.

"Get out of the way!" Hagrid shouted to the crowd.

The onlookers immediately moved out of the way, and Hagrid picked up Katie, who was still screaming, and ran quickly to the school.

Harry and the others began to ask what happened to the girl who was with Katie. The girl cried and told everything. She found that Katie became strange after going to the toilet at the Three Broomsticks. There was an extra one on her hand for no reason. The gift box was always said to be given to someone at Hogwarts. She felt something was wrong, so she fought with her, but the gift box was accidentally damaged. Katie touched the necklace, and the first scene happened.

After listening to her story, Donna patted her chest with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Essie stopped me from touching this necklace, otherwise I would have flown into the sky."

"I've seen this necklace, in the Borgin-Bock store." Harry said with great certainty.

As he spoke, he took off his scarf and wrapped the necklace: "I think we need to give this to Madam Pomfrey."

Fiona looked at Harry curiously and couldn't help but ask: "Why have you been to Borgin-Bock's store? That's Knockturn Alley, a very dangerous place."

"That's not the point." Harry said impatiently, "I think we should go back to school now!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the school without looking back.

Hermione and Ron followed immediately.

"Harry is getting more and more irritable now." Donna complained: "He used to be very reserved and patient."
