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

They left the crowd and stood on the street talking.

Since everyone was attracted by the Ring of Fire and Wrath, no one noticed them at all.

"Harry! Are you also coming to Diagon Alley to buy the things you need for school?"

Ernie spoke to him enthusiastically.

Harry seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and nodded at Ernie and said, "Actually, I have been living in the Leaky Cauldron during this time, so I will come to Diagon Alley for a walk when I have time."

Then go to the Quidditch Boutique to look at the Firebolt together.

"You ran away from your aunt's house?"

Ernie was slightly surprised when he heard what he said, but he was still very happy with his decision: "I would say you did a great job!"

Harry said "Uh": "It does count as running away from home, but... the reason is that I couldn't control myself and inflated Aunt Maggie, who was visiting my aunt's house, into a balloon... In short, because of this incident, The Ministry of Magic is looking for me."

"Blowed into...a balloon?"

Ernie couldn't imagine the funny scene for a moment.

Esther was very calm: "I heard my father say this, but don't worry, magic will not hold you responsible."

Harry had already met Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and he knew that the Ministry of Magic would not expel him from the school because of this matter.

This may be one of the few benefits of his "savior" title.

He thought somewhat self-deprecatingly.

But when facing Esther and the others, he didn't show it, and just said: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay in the Leaky Cauldron for so long."

And so comfortable.

Apart from his time at Hogwarts, this was the only time he lived so carefree.

"We are going to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy books. Have you bought the textbooks for the start of school? How about we go together?"

Ernie invited him to go book shopping with him.

Harry readily agreed: "I've actually bought the textbooks and stuff."

At this point, he suddenly thought of something and asked Ernie: "What class did you take?"

Ernie replied: "Care of Magical Creatures and Divination."

Harry's expression was indescribable for a moment.

Ernie looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Harry shook his head: "No problem, I also took these two elective courses, but... forget it, you'll find out when you get to the bookstore."

There were not many people in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore at this time, but it was still very noisy.

The reason is that there is a large iron cage in the store, which contains about a hundred "live" books.

These books were all tangled together, fighting each other aggressively, like a fierce wrestling match, with broken pieces of paper flying everywhere, making the entire Flourishes and Blotts bookstore a mess.

"What... is this book?"

Ernie was stunned.

Harry said: "This is the textbook for our Care of Magical Creatures class called The Monster Book of Monsters."

"Are you sure? I feel like they are so cruel that they will bite my arm off. Are you sure we want to use this kind of textbook in class?"

Ernie felt frightened at the thought of having to take this kind of textbook to class in the future.

"I'm sure, and I already have it." Harry had already seen the horror of this kind of book, but when he thought that the teacher teaching them this course was Hagrid, he didn't think it was too outrageous.

The manager of the bookstore noticed them, walked up quickly and asked, "Are you students at Hogwarts? Buy this kind of book?"

He looked impatient and wore thick gloves on his hands. Without waiting for their answer, he picked up a scarred wooden stick and walked towards the cage.

Esther saw this and said to him quickly: "We only need one book!"

"Really? Thank God." The manager couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he only needed one book: "I'm almost bored to death from being bitten by this crappy book every day. I really don't know about the protection of magical creatures at Hogwarts this year. Who is the professor? How could he designate such a dangerous book for students to buy?"

While the manager was complaining endlessly, he used a stick to separate several monster books that were fighting, grabbed one of them, closed it hard, and handed it to them.

"Which of you wants the book?"

Ernie took a step forward, but he was a little at a loss when facing the book that was still menacing and seemed to be ready to bite him at any time.

"Uh... I wonder if I should put it in a box? Merlin! It really doesn't look like a textbook, but like some kind of dangerous magical creature!"

Esther saw Ernie's fear. She walked over to him and reached out to touch the spine of the sinister book.

Everyone present was frightened by her bold move, especially Ernie. Regardless of his fear, he stepped forward to block Esther's outstretched hand.

"Beware!"

This was Harry's worried voice coming from behind.

"Don't reach out! You'll get bitten!"

It was Ernie's panicked voice.

However, what is surprising is that the book that was rioting just now miraculously calmed down after Esther touched its spine. Now it is neither noisy nor noisy, and looks like an ordinary book, lying quietly in the manager's hand.

Everyone who saw this was shocked.

Esther calmly explained to everyone: "The Monster Book of Monsters is indeed quite violent, but as long as you gently touch its spine, it will calm down."

"So this is ah!"

Harry suddenly realized that at this moment, he suddenly saw the shadow of Hermione in Esther.

Sure enough, top academics are always reassuring.

The most overjoyed person was the bookstore manager. He couldn't stop smiling. He gave the book to Esther and said with a smile: "That's great! You guys really helped me a lot! This book is a thank you." Gifts are given to you.”

After saying that, he ignored them, turned around, separated the monster books one by one, and then touched their spines.

Esther handed the book to Ernie: "Okay, there are other textbooks to buy, let's finish them quickly and go to the next stop."

Ernie looked at Esther with admiration on his face: "Esther, you are really amazing!"

Harry nodded in agreement.

Of course Esther was happy to be praised. She curled up a small smile on her lips and said, "It's nothing amazing. You'll know it if you read more books."

Well... "Harry Potter" is also a book. She really just read more books, and she wasn't lying.

After buying books and other necessities for the start of school, the three of them returned home with a full load.

There were too many things to carry, and the adults in the family didn't know where they were. Esther and the others had no choice but to follow Harry back to the Leaky Cauldron and take a short rest in his rented room.

After Esther used the enlargement spell to change the things she bought from the store back to their original appearance, Harry's small room was almost filled with things of all sizes.

"you……"

Harry was dumbfounded looking at the pile of various products. He picked up one at random and found that it was the Crystal Galaxy model that he liked very much but did not buy.

"Are you robbing a store?"

He said this with difficulty.
