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

When the train arrived at the station, it was already dark.

After everyone changed their clothes and got out of the car, Esther looked around and finally saw Draco in the crowd.

He was walking alone, without the Slytherin students who had once surrounded him. His face was pale in the darkness, and he seemed even more gloomy after missing him during the summer vacation than he did during the previous semester.

A trace of worry flashed in Esther's eyes. She silently slowed down and gradually distanced herself from Ernie and the others.

Because she had been very silent today, everyone did not notice her actions at first. It was not until Ernie and the others got into the carriage that they noticed that she had disappeared.

"Eh? Where's Es?" Hannah looked around in a panic: "Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"It's okay." Ernie said to her, "I guess she went to find her friends."

In fact, Ernie had just discovered her little trick, but he just didn't expose it.

He just felt a wave of frustration. He didn't expect that at this point, Essie still couldn't let go of Malfoy. It was really strange. Esce was not like a person who would ignore anything for the sake of love. Why did Essie do that to Malfoy? Why is this boy so determined?

Could it be that Malfoy secretly gave her a love potion?

But if they were really addicted to the love potion, it would be impossible for them to be in such a low-key relationship for so long.

So, could it really be true love?

Ernie's face scrunched up, not wanting to admit this conclusion.

On the other side, Esther silently followed Draco, watching him stop for a long time in front of a carriage, seeming to be staring at something, and then took steps to get in the carriage.

Esther immediately stepped forward, politely opened the curtain and asked, "Can I ride in a carriage with you?"

Draco didn't seem surprised at all by her sudden appearance, a smile appeared on his thin cheeks: "Of course."

Esther came up immediately, and Draco stretched out his hand to give her a hand.

Almost as soon as he came up, she was pulled into his arms.

"Ais..."

The young man murmured her name, which immediately softened Esther's mind.

"Okay, okay." Esther stroked his hair: "I know you have been suffering during this time."

Draco smiled, stretched out his head from her hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you coaxing like a child?"

"Because you look like a poor little puppy who needs coaxing." Esther joked with a smile.

Draco looked dissatisfied: "Don't describe me like that."

Esther pretended to sigh helplessly: "Okay, okay, my handsome boyfriend, why did he lose weight after not seeing him during the summer vacation?"

Draco didn't want to answer the question and just said, "You're not fat either."

"Don't avoid my question." Esther reached out and touched his face: "You have dark circles under your eyes, and you haven't had a good rest recently?"

Draco smiled sarcastically: "Maybe, after all, my home has been occupied by that group of people. If it weren't for... I guess there wouldn't be room for our family."

"Then you have to eat well and sleep well. Your body is the most important thing." Esther kissed him on the cheek distressedly.

Draco pursed his lips, and he suddenly said to her: "Ace, do you know? This year I can see the Thestral."

Esther paused.

"In addition to Dumbledore, I also witnessed the death of many people this summer. For example, the teacher who had been teaching our Muggle Studies class died right in front of me and was eaten by the big snake. Most of the time I was a An indifferent witness is occasionally a shameful participant.”

His tone was light and he seemed unwilling to show many emotions, but there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

"To be honest, witnessing the process of death is not as good as I imagined before. I always thought that I could ruthlessly take anyone's life, but now I have to admit that I am one A coward, a coward who is afraid of death."

"This is not cowardice." Esther looked into his eyes: "Every ordinary person will fear death. This is just human nature, which shows that you are not a heinous person."

"Isn't he a heinous person?" Draco said sarcastically: "I was the one who caused Dumbledore's death. I am a heinous person in the eyes of many people. If Potter were standing here today, he would definitely Come forward and beat me to death."

"Don't think so. Dumbledore's death... was his own choice. It was part of his plan."

In the end, Esther only revealed a little bit.

Draco looked shocked: "So his killing by Professor Snape was part of the plan?"

"Yes."

"What on earth is he doing this for?"

Draco didn't understand.

"For the ultimate victory."

"But...but he is already dead!" Draco was still stunned: "Even if the Dark Lord is defeated in the end, can he still be resurrected?"

Esther explained: "This is the difference between Professor Dumbledore and the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord is afraid of death, but Dumbledore is not afraid of death."

Of course, there is no real death.

Draco's eyes flashed with countless emotions, and finally he just said: "It's really something Gryffindor can do."

"I just think you are praising Professor Dumbledore." Esther smiled and kissed him again.

The guilt in Draco's heart was obviously relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. He reminded Esther: "The Carlo brothers and sisters who are new to teaching are both Death Eaters, so be more careful this semester. They are more cruel than Umbridge."

After all, when Umbridge was here, the Ministry of Magic had not yet collapsed, and she was still somewhat afraid. But now that the Ministry of Magic exists in name only, the Carrow brothers certainly have nothing to fear.

"I know, don't worry, I won't be idle this summer either." Esther was still smiling, not panicking at all.

Anyway, this semester is all that is difficult, and everything is almost over.

The carriage arrived quickly. Esther and Draco made a tacit understanding before getting out of the car. They looked like they didn't want to talk to each other. They got out of the car one after another and walked towards the crowd without saying a word. Go.

This year's sorting ceremony ended quickly because there were not many new students enrolled.

At the teacher's table, Dumbledore was no longer around. Snape took the position where he once stood and hurriedly talked about a few rules and regulations, and then introduced the new teacher.

The Carrow siblings made no secret of their admiration for the Dark Lord and their hatred of Muggles, but neither Professor McGonagall nor other professors refuted anything.

The situation is stronger than people. Even if they don't agree with these views, they still have to endure it when necessary.

But no one looked good, including the students below.

Never has a back-to-school dinner been so hard to swallow.

Esther only ate a few bites before she lost her appetite.
