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

It's not surprising that Esther was surprised, the main reason was that Susan usually didn't show any signs of interest in Ernie. When he suddenly said this, she suspected that Ernie had misunderstood him.

They have known each other for so many years. If they were interested in each other, shouldn't they have been together by now?

Oh, not necessarily. After all, with the examples of Hermione and Ron, it’s really hard to explain things like feelings.

"Keep your voice down!" Ernie pulled Esther to the corner and motioned her not to make too much noise: "Don't let these gossips hear it. Susan's situation has not been very good recently. You know, it would be bad for her if any rumors spread."

Esther's mind turned quickly. After the initial surprise, she immediately grasped the key point: "Susan didn't go home during the Christmas vacation this year? So you didn't go home to spend time with her at school, right?"

Ernie said with a tangled expression: "The director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic is her aunt. Last year, the Death Eaters escaped from prison. In order to retaliate against her aunt, some Death Eaters killed her uncle, aunt, and several of her relatives." Cousin. The adults in her family have too much time to take care of themselves, so they didn’t let her go home during the Christmas holiday this year. Compared to the outside, Hogwarts is much safer. I know this reason for her, so I’m afraid that she will stay in school alone for too long. I thought about it and felt sad, so I stayed.”

"Then do you like her?" Esther asked.

Although she asked this question, she already had the answer in her mind.

If the two of them were in love, he wouldn't be so entangled.

Even though he could stay with Susan out of friendship, friendship does not mean love.

He could also stay for Hannah and Justin.

"I can't tell." Facing his sister, he answered truthfully: "Susan and I have a very good relationship, and we have known each other since childhood, but when it comes to the kind of love between men and women, I always feel that it is a bit different."

He said and sighed again: "But I don't know how to tell her. I'm afraid of irritating her again."

"It's the greatest harm if you don't say anything." Esther pointedly pointed out: "Either you agree directly, or you refuse directly. Susan is not as fragile as you think. What happened to her family last year She has not collapsed even in big things, and I think even if you reject her, she will not seek death just because of this."

Ernie shook his head: "You don't understand. I'm afraid that if I refuse, we won't even be friends."

Esther couldn't help complaining: "If you hesitate any longer, you really can't be friends."

Ernie sighed again: "That's why it's so difficult. I don't think Susan really likes me. She may have had too many changes recently and she just wanted more care. By the way, how did you deal with that in the first place?" The boy’s confession to you?”

Esther said expressionlessly: "Actually, I was the first to confess my love between us."

Ernie:! ! ! !

"No, how can that kid Malfoy be so virtuous?"

His eyes widened in shock, and his voice rose uncontrollably.

Esther immediately covered his mouth: "You should also keep your voice down!"

E nodded, indicating that he would control his volume, and Esther put down her hand and added: "Although I confessed first, I already knew he liked me before that, and I did hesitate for a while, and then I It was brought up directly.”

Ernie didn't know what to say for a moment and was stunned.

"Ais, I really want to know, what do you see in Malfoy?"

It took him a while before he spoke, his tone full of incomprehension.

Esther said to him: "Then can you explain why Susan likes you?"

Ernie was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know. If I knew better, I wouldn't ask you here."

"That's right." Esther spread her hands: "Emotions are such unreasonable things. Draco does have many shortcomings, but he also has his advantages. I like him, so I can do it for those who make my heart move. The advantages cover all the remaining disadvantages.”

Ernie's eyes were complicated when he heard this: "Essie, don't you think you love him too much?"

If they didn't get together in the end, he couldn't imagine how sad she would be!

"Really?" Esther blinked and smoothed away a few strands of long hair that fell on her chest, revealing a faint smile: "But I also love myself, Hogwarts, and everyone very much. "

That's why I risk all kinds of dangers to protect everyone silently.

Ernie didn't know why, but he heard an unusual sense of solemnity in her faint tone. He didn't understand where this feeling came from, but he suddenly understood that his sister was not an ordinary girl. Even if the relationship was not going well, it was true. After a breakup, she would not indulge in sadness like most people.

Besides, given the current situation of the Malfoy family, Esther is unwilling to break up with Malfoy, and it is even more difficult to guess whether they will break up in the future.

What about Susan?

He pictured Susan in his mind. She cried a lot compared to Ess, but Ess was right about one thing, she was indeed strong.

So, if he makes it clear to her, there should be no problem, right?

Ernie was still hesitant.

He didn't dare to tell Hannah and Justin about this matter. They were both very close friends. He was afraid that they would be worried if they knew about it, so he asked Esther for advice as soon as possible.

Seeing him like this, Esther said nothing more. She was anxious to contact Draco to send him a Christmas gift, so she finally said to him: "Anyway, you'd better make it clear to Susan today and see if Draco can Min and Ron, they both led to this situation because they both refused to tell each other, and now no one cares about the other, and they are treated like enemies when they meet."

Ernie nodded: "Okay, I understand, let me think about how to tell her."

Esther didn't disturb him, let him think about it, turned around and left the lounge.

She had contacted Draco on the way here and would meet him at the Room of Requirement tonight.

The biggest advantage after becoming a prefect is that you can wander around the castle openly after curfew without worrying about being caught by Filch or anyone else.

Draco was already waiting for her in the Room of Requirement.

"Although it's a little late now, I still want to say Merry Christmas to you!"

After meeting him, Esther gave him a big hug, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the face.

Draco lowered his head in cooperation, a smile appeared on his lips. Although he didn't speak, Esther knew that he was secretly feeling happy.

He stretched out his hand and asked naturally: "Where is my Christmas gift?"

Esther let him go, took a step back, put her hands behind her back and deliberately showed a slightly unhappy expression and asked: "Before you ask me for a gift, you have to give me a gift first, right?"

"Okay." He sighed: "It's really not a disadvantage."

As he spoke, he took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Esther.

"Merry Christmas, be happy today and be happy tomorrow."

Be happy all the time.
