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

Esther's silence frightened Ernie. He wanted to blurt out and ask Malfoy that his father had been accused of being a Death Eater. Could it be that you haven't broken up with him yet?

But the scene of the Weasley brother and sister's quarrel just now was still vivid in his mind. Ernie learned their lesson, considered his words, and then asked: "What do you mean by silence?"

"I just don't want to answer."

Esther spoke silently.

"Okay." Ernie asked no more questions: "If you don't want to say it, I won't ask this question, but... forget it, as long as you are happy."

Esther looked at Ernie and saw deep concern in his eyes.

She paused and then said, "Thank you, brother."

"There is no need to say such polite words between us." Ernie stroked his brilliant blond hair. He had grown a head taller than Esther, with a slender figure and a delicate face. He gradually lost the youthful look of his youth. Unknowingly, he grew into a reliable young man.

He felt that compared to the Ron he had just met, he was obviously doing better as an older brother, which made him a little proud.

"I haven't seen you in the lounge recently. Cathy said you always go to the library. The fifth grade study is really stressful, but you should also pay attention to your health."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not sacrifice my health for studying. To be honest, if I had the choice, I wouldn't want to study so hard at all."

"Ah? I thought you would care about your academic performance. Didn't you say that your uncle has very high requirements for you? It's not easy to get eight excellent grades. As far as I know, only Hermione got nine excellent grades in our class. .”

"Yes, but I don't care what he wants from me. If he can't do it, he can't do it. He can't sever the father-daughter relationship with me."

"...Even if you don't do well in the exam, it's not enough to sever the relationship between father and daughter, right?"

Esther laughed amused by Ernie's expression: "I did say it was a bit exaggerated. After all, according to the weight he and I have in my grandfather's heart, if my father and I really have irreconcilable conflicts, then my grandfather You may choose to kick him out of the house first."

Ernie didn't know why, but he was also amused by her words: "If you say this, why do you feel that your uncle is so pitiful?"

The weird atmosphere between them was broken and became relaxed and happy again.

Esther complained: "If you think carefully about my father's usual character, and then think about some of his usual behaviors, doesn't he deserve it?"

Ernie burst out laughing.

They walked all the way back to the lounge. Since the school Quidditch match was approaching, the focus of everyone's recent discussions was on Quidditch.

Harry and Draco, who possess Firebolts, are undoubtedly the characters who have been drawn out and discussed again and again.

"If you ask me, although Malfoy has a bad character, his flying skills are very good, and with the blessing of Firebolt, it is very difficult to deal with. Needless to say, Harry's talent is obvious to all. Except for losing to Cedric once. , wins every time, the only thing that makes me wonder is that he is the captain this year, why not replace Ron Weasley?"

Zacharias and several members of the Hufflepuff team were chatting in the lounge. Esther paid a little attention because a familiar name came up.

"I don't think Weasley can't stop the ball, it's just that his performance is very unstable and he is easily affected by his own mood and becomes discouraged."

"Isn't this still unable to stop the ball? Maybe Harry just kept him in the team because of his good relationship with him. I would say this is not a good decision."

"Whatever he wants, even the savior is an ordinary person with selfish motives. Compared with these, to be honest, I am more nervous about the fact that I will be the host of the game commentary in the next few days."

……

Well, the rest of the chat has nothing to do with Draco.

After listening to a few words, she returned to the dormitory.

In a few days it's Quidditch day, and the first game is Slytherin versus Gryffindor.

After Esther stood in the stands with her roommates, she realized belatedly that Draco did not participate in the game, and Slytherin's Seeker was replaced by another substitute.

She subconsciously panicked for a moment, and then reacted.

She pulled the scarf around her neck and said to Donna next to her: "I'm a little uncomfortable, maybe I have a cold. It's too cold. I don't want to watch the game. I'm going back to the lounge first."

There were cheers one after another in her ears. Donna seemed not to hear her words clearly. Esther couldn't care less and turned around to leave.

Where would Draco go?

She ran back to the castle, panted, took out the double-sided mirror, and softly called Draco's name.

After about a minute, the mirror flashed with a white light, and Draco's handsome face appeared in the mirror.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Esther said a little angrily: "You didn't tell me you weren't participating in the Quidditch match today!"

The person on the other side panicked for a moment and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I forgot. Don't you like Quidditch? I didn't tell you."

Esther took a deep breath and felt that she was a little unreasonable: "Where are you? I want to find you."

Draco looked hesitant, but finally said, "I'm in the Room of Requirement."

Sure enough, they were repairing the broken disappearing cabinet.

She put away her double mirror and started running towards the Room of Requirement.

By the time he ran to the Room of Requirement, Draco had already come out to wait for her.

It was cold and windy outside. He was wearing a black school uniform and was thin. His pale cheeks were bloodless. Even though Esther has tried her best to accompany and comfort him this semester, compared to the wanton publicity in the past, now when he doesn't speak, there is always a gloomy look on his eyebrows that cannot be suppressed.

Esther softened up again. She took off her scarf and put it on him herself: "The temperature is so low today, don't you know how to wear more clothes?"

A smile appeared on Draco's lips. He raised his head and said, "It's obviously more convenient to use spells than to wear more clothes."

He said and stretched out his hand to hold Esther's hand: "Look, my hand is not cold at all. In comparison, yours is even colder."

"I just ran here from outside." Esther defended, then looked away and whispered: "Actually, I was really looking forward to you riding the broomstick I gave you today and shining brightly on the court. "

The smile on Draco's lips disappeared. He looked down into Esther's eyes and apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."

"I know you have your own difficulties." Esther interrupted him: "You don't need to say sorry to me. It's okay if you don't participate in the competition. At least I can hold your hand for a while longer."
