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

Neville and others took the unconscious Carrow siblings and several controlled Slytherin students to the principal's office. At the same time, several Slytherins shouted dissatisfied, asking Esther why they wanted to arrest students from their house.

Without further ado, Esther cast a spell to tie up the one who yelled the loudest in the crowd. The other members of the D.A team took him away with great discernment. No one dared to scream now.

Across the crowd, Esther and Draco looked at each other briefly for a second. Draco nodded imperceptibly, and then silently walked away from the crowd.

"Classmate Mayne, I think you should explain to me what happened and what are you going to do?"

Professor McGonagall couldn't wait to step forward, her tone as serious as ever, and her eyes not filled with blame.

We haven't seen each other for a while, and Professor McGonagall seems to be getting older. This shows that the presence of the Carlo brothers is not only a torture to the students, but also a torture to other professors.

Everything was completed without any danger. Esther was in a happy mood and greeted Professor McGonagall with a smile: "Of course, find a quiet place and I will explain to you what happened."

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement.

Esther looked at the other professors again and said to them warmly: "I have to trouble other professors to help maintain order. I'm sorry for disturbing your breakfast time, but from now on everyone can chat and laugh as usual. Great every meal.”

After saying that, he bowed to the professors, then straightened up and left with Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall couldn't wait to go to the office to inquire carefully, so she took Esther directly to the small room next to her. This room was the room used by the brave men selected first during the Triwizard Tournament last time, waiting for the arrival of other brave men.

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"I want to thank Merlin first for your safe return."

The first words of Professor McGonagall were somewhat beyond Esther's expectations. Then her expression turned serious and she continued: "You have directly controlled the Carlo brothers and sisters like this. Have you ever thought about not telling anyone if you are discovered by a mysterious person?" Those of us who did not participate, and you students who participated, will be retaliated by the mysterious person?"

Esther answered honestly: "I have thought about it, so we are going to use the Imperius Curse to control the Carlo brothers and sisters. This way, even if there is a loophole, the mysterious person will not discover it immediately."

Professor McGonagall frowned: "The Ministry of Magic has regulations that prohibit the use of Unforgivable Curses. Violators will be imprisoned in Azkaban."

Esther looked at Professor McGonagall seriously: "The Ministry of Magic has been controlled by the mysterious man, and he has long lost his role as the Ministry of Magic's orange. What's more, what the Carlo brothers and sisters have done to the students has long been enough to make them... Zikaban was imprisoned until death, and I guess in these turbulent times, keeping two notorious Death Eaters under control is not an unforgivable thing."

Professor McGonagall sighed: "You have made your decision a long time ago. It is meaningless for me to say it again. Your courage is worthy of praise. To be honest, if the circumstances were not special, I would give each of you extra points."

Esther's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter, you can get extra points now! Of all the people who took action just now, the number of Hufflepuffs is equal to that of Gryffindor, but with Cedric, we are Hufflepuffs." At most! To be honest, Professor, I really want to experience what it feels like for our college to win the College Cup."

Professor McGonagall almost burst out laughing. She shook her head helplessly: "I think now is not the time to talk about this matter. Before I add points, I would like to ask you to explain it to me. I just heard you say that the principal Did you ask someone to change the room password? How did you bypass Snape and change it?"

Esther had long expected that Professor McGonagall would ask this question, so she did not show any panic at all. Instead, she asked: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask what kind of person Professor Snape is in your heart." ?”

This question made Professor McGonagall hesitate for a moment. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, he...he was the person Albus trusted the most, and he was the one who betrayed Albus in the end. Maybe I have never seen it clearly. He and Albus didn't see him clearly either."

When Dumbledore was mentioned, Professor McGonagall's voice was choked up, and she said to Esther while holding back tears.

Esther sighed when she saw this. As expected, Professor Snape's disguise was impeccable, and everyone who didn't know the truth was deceived.

"A few days before the Death Eaters broke into Hogwarts, I met Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore." Esther said softly. After saying this, she looked at Professor McGonagall's face. I saw a hint of surprise.

Before she could ask anything, Esther continued: "There are some things that I promised them not to say yet, but you just need to remember that Hogwarts has never been really controlled by the mysterious man. It is still Belongs to Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall's serious face showed a bit of shock. She chewed Esther's words carefully and felt that Esther's words vaguely revealed something, but she was not sure what it was.

"What's the meaning?"

Finally, Professor McGonagall took the initiative to ask.

"It means that the mysterious man seems to have defeated Professor Dumbledore, but everything is still in his plan, including his death."

Esther said calmly.

But Professor McGonagall opposite could not be so calm. She stood up involuntarily and said in an urgent and surprised tone: "Merlin's stinky socks! So... So this was all planned by Albus, right? You know His plan, so Snape's betrayal was also part of his plan? He didn't really betray Albus, he didn't betray us, right?"

Esther did not answer Professor McGonagall's question directly. She only sighed: "You know, Professor? The mysterious man was born without knowing love, so he died under the great mother's love that night more than ten years ago. After his resurrection, he has lost even more of his humanity, and he will eventually lose to the power of love."

"you……"

Professor McGonagall has never been so confused as she is today. Why didn't she notice that Esther spoke in such a convoluted way before?

She hesitated for a moment and did not interrupt Esther for the time being.

"The greatness of love never lies in making people give up the light and join the darkness, but in making people trapped in darkness have the courage to embrace the light."

After Esther sighed, she looked at Professor McGonagall with complicated eyes: "Professor Snape has never lacked courage."

Professor McGonagall frowned deeply. She understood that Esther was hinting to her that Snape might not have betrayed everyone, but that her thinking was a bit messy and needed to be smoothed out.

"Okay, professor, I can only say this much. Remember to keep these words confidential." Esther stood up, still smiling: "I'm going to see if they have completed their mission."
