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

Since Esther was born, David has been so angry with her countless times that he has threatened to beat her, but never once.

Raising a child was more difficult than all the problems he had ever faced put together, and many times he was at his wits' end.

Now that Esther is old enough to go to Hogwarts, this makes him feel a little more relaxed, but it doesn't mean he can let go completely.

After all, the youthful rebellious period of children is coming.

Puberty!

He put down his knife and fork and asked deliberately in an understatement: "Harry Potter should be very popular in your school, right?"

Esther didn't notice his deeper thoughts and simply thought that he was just as interested in the savior as everyone else.

"It is indeed quite popular. In addition to the aura of the savior above his head, he plays Quidditch very well and looks good. Many girls sent him letters of love on Valentine's Day this year."

"Valentine's Day? Are you still celebrating Valentine's Day at school?"

David raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Mother Letitia had already noticed what David was concerned about. She smiled secretly and looked at her little daughter who was unaware, without saying a word to remind her.

To be honest, she is also very interested in these little gossips.

Esther cut a piece of steak and ate it in one bite. Her mother had always been good at cooking, unlike her and her father, who were both kitchen killers.

The delicious food paralyzed her vigilance, and she was not aware of the danger at all. She actually thought it was just a simple daily chat.

So she replied: "It seems that the school didn't have it before. It was done by Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher last semester. He also hired 12 dwarfs to act as Cupids and filled the castle to send love letters to the students. To be honest, Yes, that day was quite chaotic.”

The chaos got to the point where she and Draco started fighting, which then triggered the slug incident later.

All in all, it’s hard to describe.

"That's true, but I think as a mediocre Hufflepuff, it should cause you less trouble that day, right?"

"What mediocrity? Of course I'm so pretty..."

Esther suddenly paused and she reacted.

"Oh dad, why are you so concerned about me all of a sudden? If you want to warn me not to fall in love in school, you can just say it directly, there is no need to say it so tactfully." She paused and added: "It's not easy to hear."

The corners of David's mouth twitched, but his mother, Letitia, couldn't help but laugh.

"You know it's fine."

After his thoughts were exposed, David maintained a calm appearance and continued: "I'm not smart in the first place. If I continue to do these messy things, I won't be able to pass the Owl exam. What will you do?"

Esther smiled and pretended not to understand and echoed: "Yes, you are right. When you go to school, you should go to school hard. Why do you fall in love?" After speaking, she asked innocently: "By the way, what about dad?" How did you and your mother fall in love?"

David:…

He and Letitia were classmates. They had been together since the sixth grade and got married soon after graduation.

Esther finally got a hold of him.

Looking at his daughter who was smiling like a little fox, David had a headache.

See, he just said that it is difficult for children to resist.

The mother watched the battle of wits and courage between the father and daughter with great relish. However, if the stalemate continued, the food would be cold, so she took the initiative to relieve her husband who was speechless by his daughter: "Okay, Esther, don't listen to you. Dad is talking nonsense. If you meet a boy you like in school, you should be brave enough to chase him. By the way, has Essie seen any good-looking boys in school? "

Speaking of this, she would no longer be sleepy.

Esther's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Senior Cedric is very good-looking!!!"

She even patted the table lightly because of her excitement.

Letitia and David were quite surprised to see their daughter's excited expression.

The couple looked at each other, David hesitated to speak, and Letitia asked gently: "Really? To be praised like this by Ess, he must be a particularly outstanding boy."

Esther nodded in agreement: "Senior Cedric is very good. He plays Quidditch very well, and his academic performance is also very good. His temper is famous for being gentle and enthusiastic. In short, he is good everywhere. All Hufflepuffs All Qi’s students like him, and he is our Hufflepuff favorite!”

After truly traveling into the magical world, she really fell in love with Senior Cedric! This supporting character, who appears briefly in the book, may not be as eye-catching as other characters, but no one can hate him after getting along with him.

He just died too early.

what a pity.

Thinking of Cedric's ending, her excitement dropped slightly.

Things that had bothered her for half a semester came to mind again, and she was slightly irritated. But when she looked up and saw her parents with different thoughts, she immediately suppressed these emotions and said with a smile: "But mom and dad, please don't misunderstand that I love senior Cedric. I don't like boys."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Including girls."

She really didn't want to fall in love.

Most of the boys in this age group have childish and bad personalities, such as Draco Malfoy, who has had countless conflicts with her.

Life at Hogwarts was already very unstable, so why should she find another way to stimulate herself?

After all, there are still two years until Voldemort returns, and only about five years until the final battle.

After doing this calculation, Esther suddenly felt anxious.

So after eating, she rarely started to study some more practical magic on her own.

And began to practice silent spells in a whimsical way.

As the name suggests, the silent mantra is to recite the mantra silently in your mind without making a sound. This requires being very familiar with magic spells and having sufficient magic power to complete, and it is very difficult. Many adult wizards cannot cast spells silently.

Esther practiced in her room every day, and failed countless times. After several times of magic power depletion or magic power riots, her father David finally couldn't stand it anymore. After learning that she was practicing silent spells, he laughed at her for overestimating her abilities and taught her how to practice.

Finally, one afternoon, Esther successfully cast "fluorescence flicker" silently.

Fluorescence is a relatively simple magic. It has no offensive power. After it is successfully cast, a burst of light will erupt from the top of the wand. It is usually used to illuminate in the dark.

But Esther was still excited.

She even felt that she was not bad at talent. As long as she studied hard, she might actually be a genius.

Then I was disdained by my father.

Perhaps he couldn't see his daughter being so happy, so he told her a very unpleasant thing.

There was a banquet three days later that required their family to attend.

It's a party for wizards, and some unfriendly pure-blood wizards may also attend this banquet.

Including the famous Malfoy family.
