The next morning, before Esther and the others came out of the infirmary, they heard the rumor that she was "petrified last night" on the road.

Moreover, rumors spread widely, saying that they were attacked on the way to labor reform, and Esther and Malfoy were petrified and hospitalized.

So this rumor caused a new round of panic.

Colin and Justin, who were petrified earlier, are both Muggle wizards, and Esther's parents are both wizards. They are pure blood in the broad sense and mixed blood in the narrow sense. Needless to say, Malfoy cannot be more pure. Pureblood.

If only Muggle wizards were attacked, everyone would be scared but not to the point where everyone was in danger. But now Muggle wizards, mixed-blood wizards, and pure-blood wizards might all be attacked, and everyone would not be able to calm down.

Everyone was talking about it, and some people were even planning to write letters to their families after school and drop out of school immediately to save their lives.

So when Esther and Draco entered the auditorium to have breakfast one after another, everyone who was originally talking about them all looked at them, and there was a moment of silence in the lobby.

Esther didn't know why. When she saw Ernie waving to her, she didn't think too much and walked towards the Hufflepuff table.

Halfway there, she was stopped by an unfamiliar Gryffindor boy.

"Mayne, you're back, does that mean the mandrake is mature?"

The Gryffindor boy was also a first-year student and had a good relationship with Colin, so he mustered up the courage to stop Esther and ask.

Esther had a question mark on her face: "What mandrake?"

The other party was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that you and Malfoy were attacked and petrified? Doesn't it mean that the mandrake is mature and you have been lifted from the petrified state if you are both back?"

Esther was also stunned. Who was not petrified? ? ?

Her and Draco? ? ?

How this rumor spread is simply outrageous.

"Nothing, we haven't been petrified." She explained: "So, the mandrake must not be mature yet."

"Huh? I'm sorry, I heard other people say this and thought you were really petrified."

The boy apologized awkwardly.

Esther said it didn't matter and continued walking to the Hufflepuff table.

As soon as she sat down, she grabbed Ernie and asked, "No, what's going on? Why did someone say I was attacked?"

Ernie approached her and replied: "I don't know what happened, but it just slipped through like this. By the way, how is your health?"

There were two big dark circles on his face, and he looked as if he hadn't slept all night.

Esther took a piece of bacon and stuffed it into her mouth eagerly. She didn't eat anything last night and was almost starving to death until this morning.

"I'm okay. I was frightened by slugs yesterday. After drinking a glass of tranquilizer, everything will be fine. If anything is really going on, Malfoy is really going to be in trouble."

Even after a night's rest, the marks on his neck had not completely dissipated. Some of them were swollen and then turned into bruises, which became more conspicuous on his excessively fair skin.

She had just heard Pansy Parkinson's exaggerated scream from the Slytherin table.

When Esther saw his neck this morning, she took a breath herself. She really couldn't imagine how much strength she had used?

How could it be so serious?

Ernie knew what happened yesterday.

He had been waiting for her to come back in the lounge last night, but he only waited until Donna came back alone, so he quickly asked Donna to understand the cause and effect.

When he learned that Esther entered the infirmary because of excessive fright, he really wanted to violate school rules and go out at night to find Esther.

If Hannah hadn't stopped him, he would have really dared to take risks.

This period of time was also very torturous for him. He was very nervous at the beginning of the attack. He became even more nervous after Justin was attacked and petrified. Finally, no attacks occurred recently. As a result, Esther Entering the infirmary again.

At that moment, he felt that he was not qualified as a friend or a brother, because he neither protected his friends nor his sister.

Ever since Esther went to school, Malfoy has been looking for trouble with her. Last night, he learned from Donna that Malfoy even threatened Esther to get close to Harry Potter, and then inquired about information from Harry Potter and passed it to him. , and after Esther failed to do so, Malfoy actually wrote a letter threatening her on Christmas Day.

All this made Ernie very angry, so he stayed up all night in anger.

"Whether he has any problems or not is none of my business. It's best to let him suffer a big loss. You said he's so mouthy, why didn't any of the Gryffindor lions beat him?"

He stared angrily at Draco on the Slytherin table, and rarely said a few unpleasant words.

By now Esther had eaten a piece of toast and a piece of kipper, and was drinking orange juice when Ernie finished speaking.

As Hufflepuff's little darling, many classmates greeted her in a short time and asked about her health.

Her roommates knew why she was in the infirmary, and there wasn't much other than saying that she was really unlucky.

Some students didn't know whether the rumors were true or not, so they stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Esther suspected that the reason why the rumor arose was because when Donna told Ernie about her situation in the common room, some little badger listened but failed to understand the cause and effect, so he spread the rumor to others. It just spread.

But she probably couldn't find out which one was the first one.

Anyway, the little badgers are quite gossipy in general.

Esther explained to everyone over and over again that after satisfying the little badgers' desire to eat melons, they did not forget to think that Esther was too unlucky.

Then, in order to appease the unfortunate elementary school girl, they once again gave Esther a bunch of snacks.

Everyone, including Cedric and prefect Jessica, loved giving her candies, so within a short time, her pockets were filled with all kinds of candies.

Esther loves sweets, but they gave them so much that they couldn't finish them all in the dormitory.

Alas, what a sweet annoyance.

Although she was worried, it did not affect Esther's speed in cooking. She ate quickly, and after eating two slices of jam bread, three slices of bacon, a fried egg and a bowl of oatmeal, she put down the bowl after she was full.

Speaking of candies, she suddenly remembered that Draco once gave her a jar of candies, but not only did she not dare to eat it, she didn't even open it, so she kept it in the dormitory drawer.

So she thought of the current relationship between them through the candy sent by Draco.

The two of them are currently at odds with each other, but they are worried about each other and don't really dare to cause trouble, maintaining a very delicate balance.

Esther thought this was okay, as long as he would not trouble her again, she would be happy to disappear in front of him.

From now on, it would be nice not to have contact with each other until death.

But, will the pampered Master Malfoy let her go so easily?

She felt a little hung up.

This feeling of not knowing when he will stab you is very disturbing.

Esther sighed sadly, and silently took another piece of steak for herself.
