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

It snowed on Christmas Day.

Esther put on the clothes she had chosen yesterday and sat in the living room opening Christmas presents.

Because I am in school this year, I received more gifts than before.

What surprised her the most was that the three Harrys also gave her gifts.

Hermione undoubtedly gave a book, Harry gave a beautiful bookmark, and Ron gave a bag of sweets.

They are all relatively ordinary gifts that cannot be faulted.

Esther was surprised and at the same time glad that she had prepared gifts for them, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

She carefully prepared many gifts this year.

The roommates were given crystal brooches of different styles, and cousin Ernie’s was a flying broomstick. Of course, due to limited funds, we couldn’t buy him the latest model broom, but it was also a brand new Comet 260.

The gifts prepared for the trio of saviors are: a book about various dragons (found from her father's study), a pair of warm and delicate wool socks, and a set of Quidditch maintenance and care tools.

You can guess who they are given to by listening to their names.

Esther thought she was really good at picking out gifts.

After happily opening the gifts from my classmates, I started to open the gifts from my family.

Old Mr. Mayne was very wealthy, and his gifts were very practical. He gave him a very expensive vine laurel wreath, studded with diamonds. Even if it didn't need to be specially polished, it still shone brightly and could blind people's eyes. .

Grandma Hawke was even more awesome. When Esther took out a set of castle models, she was still puzzled because it didn't look like her style. It wasn't until she saw the real estate certificate under the model that she called him "good guy."

Grandma Hawke gave her a castle directly! ! ! !

Esther was dizzy holding the real estate certificate, and her first reaction was to want to run over to find David, and then yell: Dad! We'll find ourselves again in the rest of our lives! !

Really...

Influenced by her unattractive father.

In comparison, the gifts from her parents were a bit mediocre, especially her father David, who actually gave her a bunch of books and wrote a note asking her to study hard! !

Esther was speechless and choked, and could only throw the book aside angrily.

What her mother gave her was a small star-shaped pendant. What was special was that she could feel the fluctuation of magic power as soon as she got the pendant.

My mother also left a note, saying that this pendant is an ancestral magic prop, which is said to help people ward off disasters and keep the wearer away from misfortune.

Because of its age, this small pendant does not look trendy and good-looking, but Esther still likes it very much and feels that her mother is really good at giving gifts.

Hogwarts is becoming more and more dangerous every year, and she really needs this.

After opening all the gifts, Esther was in a good mood.

Just then, an owl arrived belatedly with a gift in its mouth.

It stood outside the window of Esther's room, pecking at the glass.

Esther quickly opened the window, and the owl handed her the gift and flew away quickly, without even taking a bite of the bun Esther had prepared.

Esther felt a little strange holding the gift. She had already received the gifts from the classmates she knew and had a good relationship with, so who could give this gift?

Looking at the dark green box in her hand that exuded a gorgeous and luxurious atmosphere, a rather outrageous guess flashed in her mind.

No way? It can't be the person she thinks of, right?

With a rather strange mood, she opened the box. Inside was a very exquisite brooch and a delicate card with a scent of perfume.

"Merry Christmas.

I can forgive you for being rude once in a while, but you have to recognize who is the right choice.

And don’t forget the agreement between us. "

There was no signature on it, but Esther still recognized who sent it as a gift.

It was Draco Malfoy who didn't run away.

She was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sigh that he cared about Harry.

He would rather "lower down" and ease the relationship with her than give up the opportunity to catch Harry Potter.

Let her take a sip.

After finishing it, she began to think about how to solve the problem.

Because she suddenly discovered that although Draco had been threatening her, she could also use this matter to threaten him in turn!

Anyway, conflicts have begun to arise. If Esther had been in a stalemate, she might have avoided him, but if he took the initiative to show weakness, he exposed his own weakness, so don't blame her for getting in trouble.

An excited smile appeared on Esther's face. She began to look around and finally found a relatively expensive quill pen.

"Merry Christmas.

And if you threaten me again, I will tell you what you asked me to spy on Harry Potter. "

She happily packed the letter, took a random box to contain the perfume, and asked Donut to deliver the things.

As for Draco's expression when he saw it, that was not her concern.

Now she gets to enjoy her Christmas vacation.

The Christmas vacation was not long, and Esther had been sitting at home reading books. From the orthodox history of magic to the inventory of wands of the twenty great wizards in the Middle Ages, to the top ten things to note about raising dragons, she read a lot at random without realizing it. It's time to go back to school.

Life at school remains unchanged, the mandrake has not yet matured, so the petrified classmates are still lying in the infirmary.

Hermione had been in the infirmary since school started. Esther knew the plot and knew that she had to be hospitalized because she accidentally mixed cat hair into the polyjuice potion and the transformation failed.

But what other students didn't know was that when she disappeared, it was taken for granted that she had also been attacked.

Draco had no reason to come to her immediately, and Harry and the others were also busy taking care of Hermione. In short, the first few days were relatively leisurely.

Hermione was discharged from hospital in early February.

There have been no recent attacks on students. Hufflepuff students learned from their dean that the mandrake that can cure everyone's petrification is about to mature, and everything is going to a good place.

Since there have been no attacks in the past few days, everyone feels relaxed.

Many people believe that under the high vigilance of teachers and students in the school, the person who secretly opened the secret room has given up the plan to continue the attack, but Ernie does not think so.

He still stubbornly believed that Harry was the real culprit behind the scenes.

Esther no longer tried to correct his thinking. By the end of the semester, he would know that Harry was innocent.

Hogwarts was only that big in total, and Esther had met Draco a few times. Every time she met him, he always stared at her with a dark face, but he never caused any trouble for her in public.

And because he also had to participate in Quidditch training, so even if he encountered them, he would leave in a hurry without any conflicts.

Time soon came to February 2th, which was Valentine's Day. In order to boost everyone's morale, Lockhart decorated the entire hall in a sweet and fancy way.

All four walls are covered with pink flowers. There were also some heart-shaped colored papers falling from the ceiling.

He even found 12 ugly and gloomy dwarfs, put them on their backs with golden wings and harps, and pretended to be the gods of love and sent love letters to everyone.

Esther looked at the dwarfs who were too ugly to look directly at, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

It seems that there is no way to have a good time today.
