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

Old Mr. Mayne came to visit their family mainly for two things. The first thing was to transfer some of his wizarding-related properties to Mr. and Mrs. David and let them take care of them in the future. The second thing was to ask Esther Ho. The secret room in Gwarts was opened.

The second thing was easier to say. Esther told her everything that happened in the school without much hesitation.

Esther was not surprised that Mr. Mayne knew what happened at Hogwarts. Mr. Mayne had been exposed to the wizarding world since her father David went to school.

Although until now, the main theme of the wizarding world is still not to have too much contact with Muggles, wizards are also human beings. Since they are human beings, they cannot escape the desire for money. It just so happens that old Mr. Mayne is not only very rich but also very capable. make money.

It is not difficult to open up the joints and cooperate with wizards to make money. After all, who would think they have too much money these days?

Even the Malfoy family, which has always supported the concept of "pure blood", has been secretly doing business with the Muggle world. Otherwise, how could they have saved such a large family fortune?

If, like other pure-blood families, they relied on their ancestors' savings and the small industry in the wizarding world, when the Photovoltaic Demon fell, Lucius would have spent enough money to drain his savings, so how could he maintain his current status? Where's the glory?

But David was a little unhappy.

He is not a playboy, he simply doesn't like working, especially the laborious and laborious work of managing property.

"Why should you leave it to me? If you want to sever ties with the magic world, you can just say it without being so tactful."

David answered without mercy.

Old Mr. Mayne's originally serious face became even more gloomy when he heard what he said.

He snorted coldly and said: "You are not young anymore. You can't let me support you all the time. I let you take care of those properties. Naturally, I want you to be self-reliant. Otherwise? You can count on me while I am still alive. Is it possible to wait?" Are you still going to bother your daughter to support you when I’m gone?”

Esther, who was named, showed a slightly bewildered smile.

"But I have a job!"

David retorted dissatisfiedly.

He has liked to study magical animals, especially various dragons, since he was in school. He occasionally publishes some research articles on dragons, and gets a good reward every time.

But he writes very slowly, and it often takes him a long time to write an article. On average, his monthly income is indeed minimal.

It can only be said that it is fortunate that he is a rich second generation, otherwise he would have starved to death.

"You only published a crappy paper in half a year. Can that be called a job? Even part-time work is more than what you make."

Old Mr. Mayne was disgusted.

As a Ravenclaw, it is very excessive to be called such a person for his research results. David is not a person who likes to be patient. His face darkened. When he was about to speak, he was gently pulled by his wife. He touched his sleeves.

He turned his head and glanced at his wife Letitia.

She shook her head at him imperceptibly.

So David suppressed his anger and tried to sound as nonchalant as possible: "I'm not this material. I can't do anything but study. If you really want to hand over your property, you might as well wait until Esther grows up." Leave it to her."

Esther:? ? ? ? ?

No, why is there anything about her in this?

"You don't like these things, and Aisi may not like them either. Don't impose your responsibilities on others."

Old Mr. Mayne spoke calmly and expressed Esther's feelings.

David was very dissatisfied. He seemed to want to argue a few words, but due to the presence of his wife and daughter, he suppressed his words.

Old Mr. Mayne sighed when he saw this: "I also know that you don't like these things. If possible, I won't force you to do anything. Anyway, I have become accustomed to it after so many years.

It's just that there are some things you can't just stop doing if you don't want to. Back then, you were able to cut off all ties in the magical world in order to escape the Dark Lord. Now that Essie is in school, can she cut off everything? "

After saying this, Esther didn't know what her parents looked like, but she was already shocked.

No, why does it feel like old Mr. Mayne knows a lot?

"You mean?"

David's expression became cautious.

Old Mr. Mayne did not answer directly, but glanced at Esther and said, "Your grandmother bought a lot of clothes and jewelry for you and put them in your room. Do you want to go and see them?"

This means to take her away.

Esther felt a little dissatisfied. She didn't want to leave like this, so she looked up at her parents.

David stared at old Mr. Mayne closely, and when he saw Esther's eyes, he just said: "Go, dad will take you to play tomorrow."

Mother Letitia didn't speak, but she lightly patted her shoulder, which already made her intention clear.

None of them wanted her to hear the rest of the conversation.

Well, Esther curled her lips and left the study reluctantly.

But this little mood was quickly cured by a wardrobe of beautiful clothes.

Esther considers herself not a person who likes luxury, but who can’t be tempted by a wardrobe full of beautiful clothes?

She happily tried on several items, and finally chose a brown woolen knee-length pleated skirt and a white cardigan to wear tomorrow.

By the time she picked out her clothes, the adults' conversation had ended.

Esther couldn't tell from their faces how the conversation went.

She followed her parents to their room and pestered them to tell her what the conversation was about.

It's a pity that her parents are not usually strict, so they didn't reveal anything.

In the end, there was no choice but to use Esther's killer move.

She pretended to be pitiful and asked: "Don't you love me anymore?"

Dad David didn't agree with her, he raised his eyebrows handsomely and replied deliberately: "Of course, you are very self-aware."

Letitia stretched out her hand to touch her husband, who was careless. She hugged Esther and gently stroked her hair. She explained softly: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Mom and dad love our little star the most. It's just that There are some things that children shouldn’t know, and when you grow older you can participate in these things.”

David also rubbed the top of her head and echoed: "That's right, you have to grow up quickly and help your grandpa manage the business so that he doesn't think about me all the time."

Esther raised her head from her mother's arms and glanced at her father dissatisfied.

"But I also have things I want to do!"

David raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Then what do you want to do?"

"...I don't know yet, but it's definitely not the company inherited from my grandfather."

"That's over."

David sighed fakely: "Your grandfather will be angry to death."

Both of them want to make a fortune.

It's difficult for old Mr. Mayne! !
