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

Waiting is excruciating.

The portrait will convey some information to Esther from time to time, but in order to prevent another panic, she will not tell the students clearly about the news. After all, on the surface, the news is not good news.

"Can we just wait like this?" Ernie suddenly stood up and walked to Esther: "I want to see what the situation is like?"

"Then what?" Esther asked him calmly: "If you accidentally meet a few Death Eaters outside, do you think you, a student, can beat them?"

"But sitting still and waiting for death is not an option." Ernie looked very anxious: "I don't want to go out and die, I just want to know what happened, how did the Death Eaters enter the school, and what do they want to do?"

Esther sighed: "No matter what they want to do, we can't stop it. The only thing we can do is to hide ourselves and not go out to cause trouble."

"Ess is right." Susan pulled Ernie and said, "Don't be anxious, we... are no match for the Death Eaters, and besides, Dumbledore is here."

Ernie was pulled by Susan to sit down and said nothing more.

Of course he understood what Susan and Esther said, but how many people could stay calm in this situation?

He looked around. Everyone was panicked except Esther.

So he forced himself to calm down. When others became more uneasy, as a prefect, he had to calm down. Being as calm and composed as Esther could calm people's hearts and prevent bigger troubles.

"Drink some water." Hannah brought two cups of tea to Ernie and Susan. She also frowned and looked out the window from time to time.

"It looks like there's a fire outside!"

A sharp-eyed student noticed the color of flames coming from the window, and instantly many people crowded to the window to look out.

"It's okay, Death Eaters love to set fire to things." Esther comforted, "They also burned a lot of tents at the Quidditch World Cup that year."

Some people were attracted by Esther's words. A second-grade boy asked: "Senior Mayne, were you there during the Quidditch World Cup? So you had dealt with Death Eaters at that time. Already?"

"Not only that." Someone continued what the little boy said: "Last year, Esther broke into the Ministry of Magic with Harry and the others!"

"Then can you tell us what Death Eaters are like? And the adventures you had at that time. It seems that senior sister has never taken the initiative to talk about these!"

The little boy looked at Esther excitedly.

Esther thought for a moment and thought that maybe telling them stories and gossip would distract them a bit and make them less scared.

So she smiled and told everyone about her experience.

Soon, many people were attracted.

Gossip has a huge influence on the little badgers, and Esther is a good storyteller, so everyone gathered to listen to Esther talk about her experience, and few people continued to pay attention to the situation outside.

Only Ernie walked to the window alone while everyone was listening to the story, keeping a sad eye on the situation.

When the story was almost finished, another burst of flames broke out outside the window, accompanied by some people screaming and laughing wildly. They seemed to be celebrating something.

"I thought I heard Harry's voice!" Ernie suddenly turned around and said to everyone.

The attention of others was drawn again.

"Looking in this direction, the place where the fire started this time seems to be the Forbidden Forest! They won't burn the Forbidden Forest, right?"

Zacharias looked shocked at the guess.

Susan shook her head: "No, it doesn't have to be the Forbidden Forest. It could also be Hagrid's hut. He is right next to the Forbidden Forest!"

Hannah also squeezed over and took a look outside: "The Dark Mark in the sky has disappeared. Does this mean that Dumbledore and the others have successfully repelled these Death Eaters and we are safe?"

"I think so." Justin also nodded.

Only Ernie still frowned and didn't relax: "But I'm sure it's the Death Eaters who are laughing! They are happy! This means they may have completed the task they wanted to complete!"

As if to verify what Ernie said, a phoenix wail sounded outside the castle. The sound was like crying and making people feel heavy.

Esther, who had been silent, said to everyone at this time: "The others continue to stay in the lounge and cannot go out without the professors' orders. I, Ernie, and Hannah went out to check the situation, and Susan and Jia Sting and Zacharis are here to keep order."

The names she named were all students who had participated in D.A training.

No one had any objections. Zacharias frowned and couldn't help but said: "You all should be careful and don't go too far. If something goes wrong, run back immediately."

Esther nodded to him, then walked out of the lounge with Hannah and Ernie.

They walked cautiously down the empty corridor, wands in hand.

Esther was very confused. She wanted to run back to the astronomy tower to see what was going on, but because there were Ernie and Hannah beside her, she couldn't run directly there.

Gradually, they met some people, all of whom were students who came out to check the situation without knowing what was going on.

"Ginny!" Esther called to the anxious red-haired girl, who was running to the school hospital: "What happened?"

When Ginny saw them stop for a moment, she gasped and said quickly: "Death Eaters! The Death Eaters you came into the school, Bill is injured, and there are many people in the lounge!"

Esther immediately asked: "Are there any members of the Order of the Phoenix outside?"

"Yes! There are many. They just drove away the Death Eaters. I don't know the specific situation." She sounded anxious, said a few words and continued to rush to the infirmary.

Esther pushed Ernie and said to him: "You and Hannah follow Ginny to the infirmary to see what's going on. I'll go out and take a look."

Ernie nodded, less scared now that he heard the Death Eaters had been driven away.

"Be careful!" he warned, and he and Hannah immediately chased Ginny.

Esther quickly ran outside the castle. She came to the bottom of the astronomy tower. There was no "body" of Dumbledore there.

She frowned and turned to look in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's hut was burning with a blazing fire, and several people were rushing towards it.

One of the figures was holding another person.

They were too far away and he couldn't see their faces clearly, so it wasn't difficult to guess that they were Lu Ping and the others.

The person being held may be Harry after witnessing Dumbledore's death.

There were no Death Eaters around, and Draco should have left with them.

When she felt a little dazed, the shadow of a phoenix suddenly appeared in front of her. The very faint shadow was not obvious in the dark, but she was obviously stunned. The phoenix began to fly away. Esther immediately followed On the top, Phoenix bypassed the members of the Order of the Phoenix who were running this way, made a big circle, and led Esther to run towards the Forbidden Forest.

After running deep into the Forbidden Forest, the phoenix disappeared, and Dumbledore in a white robe appeared in front of her.

"I think what I just acted was a bit exaggerated, but luckily I deceived them."

The old wizard smiled slightly at Esther and said.
