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

Hermione's expression was complicated. She was shocked by Esther's firmness when she said "no", and she forgot what to say for a moment.

"I...I really can't think of..."

She murmured and suddenly covered her face with her hands: "Okay, although I'm shocked, if you haven't broken up after going through so much, it would be really awesome."

Esther smiled.

She also found it incredible.

"I thought you were going to be angry because Draco has had so many issues with you."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "I can't say I'm angry, I just don't understand how you can see each other."

Esther sighed: "Fate, I can't explain it like this."

Having said this, Esther couldn't help but defend Draco: "Although he has various shortcomings, he is not a bad person, and he also has some advantages that others do not have, and he...he is very good to me. Being able to withstand the pressure and hide me in front of the Dark Lord for the first time is no longer a courage that ordinary people can have."

"I didn't say anything." Hermione was speechless: "You don't have to be so anxious."

Seeing her defending Draco like this, Hermione couldn't help but think of herself. In fact, the window between her and Ron was almost unbroken, but neither of them had the courage to break it.

This is really not as good as Esther and Malfoy.

"As a friend, you are free to fall in love with whom you want. As long as you want, I will only be happy for you. It's just Malfoy...he indirectly killed Dumbledore, and their family is a wolf... "

Esther suddenly interrupted Hermione: "Hermione! Don't call his name. His name is enchanted by him. Calling his name will cause him to sense our location."

Hermione was shocked, and now she knew how the Death Eaters knew their location.

"Is that so?"

Esther didn't pay attention to this matter. After stopping Hermione from telling Voldemort's full name, she continued: "I know this, but there are some things I can't say. He was also forced to go to Malfoy Manor. After a while, he should also be able to feel how cold and bloodthirsty the Dark Lord and Death Eaters are. He was just a student at the time, not even an adult yet. The Dark Lord gave him this task to punish their family, and he had no choice but to accept it. There are two paths for him to choose.”

Hermione stopped talking and sighed: "So, if the mysterious man had not been resurrected, wouldn't there be so many regrets?"

It was already very late. Esther looked up and saw outside the window that the moon had slanted into the clouds. Only scattered stars were shining with subtle light. In her ears, she could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks, like a gentle lullaby, urging them to sleep. .

Luna was mentally exhausted and was already lying on the bed yawning.

Esther also sat on the bed, closing her eyes gently, with a tired look on her eyebrows: "There are no what-ifs in the world. We are all forced to grow up and keep recalling the past, so why not work hard for the future."

Seeing that she was tired, Hermione stopped talking and the others rested to sleep.

The next day, Esther woke up early. When she stood up, Hermione and Luna were still sleeping next to her.

After moving her somewhat stiff and sore body, she heard a loud noise as soon as she walked out of the room, followed by the sound of people rushing up the steps. Esther looked down slightly and saw David and Letitia. Came in a hurry.

"Mom and Dad!" She shouted in surprise. David and Letitia had already stepped forward, and her mother was the first to hold her in her arms.

"Ais——"

Letitia shouted, tears already falling.

After not seeing each other for just a few days, they looked quite haggard. Their mother looked pale and her eyes were all green and black. It looked like she hadn't had a good rest for several days, while her father, David, had some stubble growing on his chin, which he had never kept neatly. Qi's hair is also a little messy.

"Mom, Dad, I'm fine." Esther tried her best to suppress her crying and comforted her in a relaxed tone.

Later, Bill and Fleur also walked up the steps. Although Fleur saw the scene of their family reunion being very touching, she couldn't help but remind her: "Be careful, she has wounds on her body."

After hearing this, my mother immediately let go and asked nervously: "Where is it hurt?"

Esther shook her head: "It's okay, just a small injury." Then she looked at Bill: "You informed my parents that I was here, right?"

Bill smiled and nodded at her: "Yes, the Order of the Phoenix has been looking for your whereabouts since you disappeared and tried every means to rescue you. Unexpectedly, you escaped on your own before we took action."

David then looked at Bill and Fleur. He thanked Bill and then left with Esther.

Hermione and Luna were also woken up at this time. They walked out to check the situation, and Harry and Ron also came over.

It was still early and everyone looked like they were awake.

"Ais, please go back with your parents quickly. You were seriously injured this time. Take good care of yourself. We will continue on our journey."

When Hermione saw their family of three reunited, she couldn't help but think of her parents, her eyes were slightly hot, and she was almost in tears.

Before deciding to search for Horcruxes with Harry, she cast an oblivion spell on her parents, causing them to forget her existence and move elsewhere.

In this way, it would not only ensure that the Death Eaters could not find her parents, but also her parents would not be devastated even if she died due to an accident.

Esther said goodbye to everyone and left with her parents.

After an apparition, they returned to their grandfather's house.

As soon as she stood still and before she could take a breath, her grandfather called the doctor who had been waiting in other rooms to come over and check her body.

Fortunately, the marks on her body have almost disappeared, and she is not afraid of being discovered.

After examination, the doctor only said that it was just some external injuries and nothing serious.

"I've lost a lot of weight in the past few days." Grandma Hawke looked a little distressed, stroking Esther's silky hair, her voice trembling.

Esther comforted her grandmother softly.

Her grandfather asked her what happened during this time.

Esther didn't want to talk about her experience. She knew that telling the truth would only bring guilt and heartache to her relatives, so she simply said a few words and tried to make these things as easy as possible.

Of course, everything about Draco was hidden.

But, after all, he killed two people just to survive. No matter how concise it was, how could he feel relaxed?

After hearing this, her mother, Letitia, couldn't help crying again and kept shouting "Fortunately".

Dad David also showed a rare sadness and kept patting Letitia on the back to comfort his crying wife.
