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

Esther hesitated to speak to Ernie.

So Ernie immediately realized that he had guessed wrong. There should be no breakup, just a quarrel.

"Seriously." His tone immediately dropped. There was no excitement just now, but a sincere admonition: "No matter what happens, don't make yourself unhappy. I think what you just said about spending your time on studying is very Correct. After all, it is possible to break up when you fall in love, but once the knowledge is learned in your mind, it will be yours and you will never forget it.”

The corner of Esther's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that it was because you had never been exposed to mathematics. If you had studied it, you would know that although knowledge can enter your brain, it can also leave your brain very quickly.

"Okay, don't mention such unlucky things during dinner." Esther didn't want to continue talking.

Ernie stopped talking, although he wanted to ask, did she mean Malfoy or study by bad luck?

Maybe both.

After eating, I started studying for the day.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow is Saturday, the day when you can go to Hogsmeade again, so most students are still very happy.

There are no Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration classes in their classes today. As long as these two subjects are not available, most Hufflepuff students will have a good life.

After class, Esther went to the library alone to do her homework.

According to her past habits, she would not study so hard on Friday night. After all, tomorrow is Saturday, and she would definitely not finish her homework in advance if she could finish it a day later.

But I had just made such a big statement in front of Ernie this morning that I had to show off.

When he was about to arrive at the library, the bracelet made a subtle buzzing, and then the familiar silver-white light connected to the bracelet again.

Esther stopped. It seemed that Young Master Malfoy had discovered that she was unhappy, much sooner than she thought.

With this thought in mind, she deliberately shook the bracelet, causing the connecting white thread to instantly break and disappear.

Aren't you afraid of being discovered by others when you position yourself casually in the castle in broad daylight?

She thought this in her heart, but did not move, but waited for him to find her.

Soon, Draco came over panting, and when he saw Esther, he immediately pulled her aside to a hidden corner.

"What's wrong with you? Are you angry? Are you angry with me?"

He seemed anxious, his hair was a little messy from running, and his gray-blue eyes were worried and cautious.

At this moment, Esther suddenly found that she couldn't really get angry at the sight of him.

But she still forced herself to put on a cold face and said, "I'm not angry."

"Lie." He grabbed Esther's wrist tightly and said, "If you weren't angry, why didn't you look at me this morning? Are you angry that I haven't been looking for you recently? I just saw that you were very busy studying. , don’t want to disturb you.”

"No."

Esther still answered simply and indifferently, looking down at him.

Draco's expression was visibly flustered: "What's that for? Tell me, where did I make you angry? Don't be silent, don't refuse to communicate with me, okay?"

Esther then raised her eyes and looked at him: "You also know that communication is needed, but why are you willing to cry to a ghost and talk about your pressure, instead of telling me what's on your mind?"

Draco's face froze, and he subconsciously retorted: "What are you talking about?"

"I met Myrtle yesterday. She told me that there is a boy who often comes to the abandoned bathroom this semester. A fragile, sensitive, lonely and full of thoughts. He doesn't even cry much, just a look on his face. A deep and helpless daze.”

She repeated word for word what Myrtle said yesterday: "Although she didn't tell me who this boy is, I think this boy could be you, right?"

Draco's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Esther.

"You just said it yourself, we need to communicate, so don't hide the truth and tell me. I'm your girlfriend, you can't be willing to talk to a ghost without communicating with me!"

Draco was silent for a while, then leaned against the cold stone wall in frustration, with a depressed expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hide it from you, I just don't want to be so... unbearable in front of you." He finally said: "What happened around me is not a good thing. Telling it will only make you follow me." Happy, I don’t want to be like this...I..."

He couldn't continue, and his voice was slightly choked: "You have no idea how terrifying the Dark Lord is, and those damn things, those dirty werewolves! They made my home a mess! I don't know what to do manage."

"For the sake of my parents... I can only bite the bullet and work hard to complete the task assigned to me by the Dark Lord, even if I know that it is impossible for me to complete this task, even if I know this task from beginning to end... It's just that the Dark Lord has done nothing to our family. As punishment, I can only pretend...pretend that I don't know anything, go ahead and do it, and even almost get killed..."

He covered his face with his hands, his pale hands trembling slightly.

Esther stepped forward and took his hand off, reaching out to wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye: "You can tell me this from the beginning, and I will neither laugh at you nor be afraid of being dragged down by you."

She had long known all his flaws, so she had a certain prejudice against him when they first met him. But when she decided to fall in love with him, she was already determined to tolerate all his shortcomings and flaws.

"Although I can't go to jail in Azkaban with you, but I can cry with you over these sad things."

She raised her head and looked at him intently, bending her eyes and showing a sweet smile.

Draco was still sad at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard her words. He complained: "They also said that I always tell jokes at inappropriate times. You are obviously the same, do you still want me to seriously confide in you?" What's on your mind?"

"Of course." Esther smiled a little wider: "I finally opened the door to your heart, how could I let you go so easily? I won't go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, and I don't think you will go either. , then we’ll have a whole day to talk.”

"Really, that's great." The gloom in Draco's eyes dissipated a bit: "Then I want to have a good talk with you about what letters you have been writing to the Weasley twins recently. ? So diligently writing one letter a day."

"Did you peek at my letter?" Esther narrowed her eyes slightly.

Draco denied: "Am I the kind of person who would read other people's letters? I just saw the address."

Esther sneered: "That's just right. I also want to talk to you. What exactly did you say to Myrtle? Let her tell me in person that she likes you very much?"

"...No way, are you jealous Ess? Are you jealous of a ghost?"

"Don't worry about whether I'm jealous or not, just think about how to explain to me tomorrow!"

Esther glared at him angrily.
