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

Esther and the others finished the pizza with Harry, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Justin finally got a little anxious.

"Oops! I forgot to promise my mother to go back before six o'clock!" He stood up and patted his head in annoyance: "It's over, my mother will definitely punish me to write an extra set of physics or mathematics test papers tomorrow!"

Harry looked up at him in surprise: "Are you still studying Muggle courses at home during the summer vacation?"

Justin sighed sadly: "Yes, not only do I have to learn various Muggle courses, I also have to learn piano, equestrian and golf."

Ernie didn't know much about these Bagua lessons, so he just exclaimed: "Wow! Do you have to learn so much? Aren't you very busy?"

Justin nodded: "I'm just very busy! And I hate physics!!"

He rubbed his hair a little frantically, and seemed to have a headache when he mentioned making up classes.

When it came to this topic, Esther couldn't help but sigh: "Me too, my grandmother asked me to study Muggle courses during the summer vacation, and also helped me consult with a bunch of interest classes, so I won't be able to do this this summer. I really want to go back to my grandfather’s house.”

Sometimes she felt that her father and Grandma Hawke were really not related by blood?

Are they really not related by blood if they both love learning so much?

Harry smiled slightly and laughed at himself: "It seems I'm not the worst off. At least Aunt Petunia and the others won't spend this money to let me learn something I don't like."

Justin and Esther sighed simultaneously.

However, he was not depressed much. Esther patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay. It should be time for us to go back now."

Justin nodded: "I hope so."

They are leaving.

Harry stood up and said, "Then you go back. It won't be safe until it gets dark later."

He said goodbye to them with a smile that was genuine.

Esther waved to him: "Goodbye! I wish you a happy summer vacation."

……

By the time they returned to London, it was almost dark.

Naturally, Justin did not return home before six o'clock, but as soon as they got off the train, Esther's grandfather sent two cars to take them home.

Justin stared at the luxury car in front of him and marveled: "Now I believe that what you said at Aunt Harry's house was not to fool her. You look really rich in this arrogance!"

Esther said modestly: "It's okay, my grandfather is rich, but there is a saying that wealth cannot last more than three generations. I guess it will all go downhill from here."

Justin hesitated to speak: "There's no need to curse yourself like this."

Esther said to herself that she was not cursing herself, but was aware of her and her father's ability to spend money.

Especially her father, who might not even wait for Esther to take over the family business, has already been ruined.

This is not nonsense, but her father has taken over old Mr. Mayne's wizarding-related industries since Christmas. However, his progress has not been smooth and various problems have arisen, so he has been very busy recently.

When I got home, it was already dark.

Mom Letitia was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and dad David was helping out.

They were talking and laughing, and the scene looked very warm.

But as soon as Esther came in, dad David's smile disappeared.

"A busy man is back? What were you busy with? It's really an honor for your mother and I to know that you can get home before dark."

Dad said it deliberately and sarcastically.

He was wearing a simple white shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows. He was not wearing glasses because he was at home. His handsome features looked very gentle, but his words were like knives.

Esther sometimes really felt that her father should have gone to Slytherin instead of Ravenclaw.

Listen to this yin and yang tone, he is really more sarcastic than the average Slytherin.

Esther curled her lips and stepped forward to take a look at the dinner they had cooked. Then she deliberately pushed her father away and stood next to her mother. She said, "I reported to my mother during the day. Don't talk to me in such a shady manner. You're talking to a Slytherin." Same, it’s annoying to hear.”

Dad raised his eyebrows. His hands were still stained with the water from washing vegetables, so he deliberately flicked them on Esther. Esther screamed and ducked, and glared at Dad angrily.

"Do you think I'm annoying? You've reached your rebellious stage in youth and you're going to dislike your old father?"

He pretended to be heartbroken.

Esther didn't believe that he would be sad. She retorted coldly: "Who can be more rebellious than you? You are still so childish at such an old age!"

"Okay, okay, you two, father and daughter, don't fight in the kitchen. Ess, go wash your hands and eat now."

Esther responded, "hum" to her father and left without looking back.

You can still hear your parents talking as you leave.

"This child is getting more and more angry now, and you don't care about it."

"Aren't you used to it?"

"Am I used to it? Have I ever been used to her? Don't talk nonsense."

……

That's right!

Esther, who heard their conversation, agreed with her father's words for the first time. How had her father spoiled her?

She still remembers that when she was a child, she didn't like piano lessons and her behavior was useless, so her father would practice with her. She was punished until midnight because she repeatedly made mistakes.

In the end, Esther practiced piano for two years and could barely play the music fluently, while her father, David, passed level [-].

It’s really... I don’t know how to complain.

The family was having dinner as usual. At the dinner table, her father suddenly asked Esther: "Who are you going to see when you go out to play today?"

Esther didn't think much and answered casually: "With Justin Finch-Fletchley, he is in the same grade as cousin Ernie. We are both Hufflepuff students."

"Justin Finch-Fletchley? Muggle wizard?"

"Yes, but later we went to No. [-] Privet Drive, Surrey, to visit Harry Potter."

This answer surprised David and Letitia slightly.

During the day today, Esther only told her mother Letitia that she was going to Surrey with Ernie and the others to visit a classmate, but she did not say that the classmate was Harry Potter.

"Harry Potter! Why are you looking for him? And how do you know his address?"

After being briefly surprised, Dad returned to his normal demeanor and asked casually as if he didn't care.

Esther glanced at him.

As a father and daughter who have been fighting wits for 12 years and are about to turn 13, Esther can't see that although her father appears to be calm, he is actually very concerned about this issue.

She didn't understand why her father suddenly cared about them going to find Harry Potter. Maybe it was Harry Potter's "savior" effect. Everything related to the savior was very eye-catching.

"It's just that Ernie and Justin misunderstood Harry last semester, and then they suddenly thought of going to him and making amends to him."

"As for why I know Harry Potter's address..."

Esther paused deliberately and saw that although her father looked indifferent, his eyes kept glancing towards her.

She smiled proudly: "Ask your grandfather, I won't tell you."

dad:……

This kid really deserves a beating.
