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

"Don't worry, they were all bought with money, and there was absolutely no robbing of the store."

Facing the dumbfounded Harry, Esther explained to him and said very domineeringly: "Do you have anything you like? Take it as you like."

"really?"

Harry showed the same dazed expression as Ernie in the store, a little at a loss: "Why did you buy so many things? How much does it cost?"

Esther smiled and said half-seriously: "It cost a lot of money. Because my father made me angry, he bought so many things to apologize to me. You can take whatever you like, you're welcome."

In fact, apart from the beginning, Esther has already vaguely regretted buying so many things on purpose just to anger her father, because most of the things in them are really not interesting to her, and it is indeed a waste to buy them just to make her angry.

She believed that her mind was much more mature than that of children of this age, but every time she met her father, her mind would uncontrollably regress.

"Your father is so kind to you."

Harry, who didn't know the truth, said with some envy.

If his parents were still alive, would they be as doting and loving on him as Esther's parents were?

Harry began to think wildly, and then took a look at the things on the floor. He felt that even if his parents were alive, they would not be able to spend such a large amount of money to buy him a gift to apologize.

How much will this cost?

You can probably buy a Firebolt.

Only Ernie tilted his head in confusion.

Did his uncle buy these things to coax Esther?

That seems to be the case when it comes to contacting each other, but something doesn't seem right?

He couldn't tell, so he just stopped talking.

"Harry! Can you play Gobstone? Do we want to play a game together?"

He held up the set of solid gold gobstone toys that he cherished so much and said to Harry.

This set of Gobstone toys was something Harry had always wanted but couldn't bear to buy.

He had a large inheritance in Gringotts, but he did not dare to spend it frivolously. After spending so many days in Diagon Alley, he took a fancy to many new and interesting things, but he restrained himself from buying them.

And Esther bought most of those things.

"Okay!"

Harry happily agreed to Ernie's request, and the two began to play with gobstones.

The so-called gobstone is actually a stone game that sprays an unpleasant smell on the losing side.

This is a game that requires some luck. Esther always felt that she was unlucky, so she rationally did not participate.

The two boys began to devote themselves to playing, and Esther walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron has a long history, dating back to the 16th century.

At that time, even the Statute of Secrecy had not been implemented, so Muggles could enter the Leaky Cauldron in the early days. Later, after the Statute of Secrecy came into effect, it became a "secret" bar that only wizards could see.

Because of its long history, the building in the Leaky Cauldron is old and small. Many wizards drink and chat here, including some who appear strange among the wizards.

For example, there was an old woman wearing a thick woolen coat eating raw liver that didn't look good. Esther couldn't tell what kind of animal liver it was, but it was a bit weird anyway, and very close to the kind of witch described in Muggle fairy tale books.

Esther didn't dare to look any further. She walked around the crowd and saw a wanted poster on a pillar.

It was a thin and haggard man, with long hair that was messy and tangled.

The wanted poster contains this person's information.

Sirius Black.

Esther stared at the moving figure.

In the original book, after Voldemort learned about the prophecy, he believed that the child in the prophecy who would kill him was Harry Potter. So in order to protect the Harry family, with the help of Dumbledore, he used the Fidelity Charm to hide the family. At that time The public Secret Keeper is Sirius Black.

As a result, Sirius Black cleverly handed over the identity of the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew. Who knew that Peter later betrayed them and joined Voldemort, so Harry's parents died at the hands of Voldemort.

Since the revealed Secret Keeper was Sirius Black, he was made the scapegoat and imprisoned in Azkaban.

Peter Pettigrew faked evidence of his death and has been hiding in the Weasley family in the form of a mouse for many years.

In the original work, Sirius Black was recognized as a handsome boy by the author, but from his wanted photo, Esther could not imagine how flamboyant he looked when he was young.

Bearing the guilt and the pain of indirectly causing the death of his best friend, he spent year after year in Azkaban. His lack of madness was the result of his strong will.

He is also a poor person...

Esther sighed silently.

They didn't stay in the Leaky Cauldron for long. When the time was almost up, Esther went up and called Ernie down to go home.

Before leaving, Esther gave Harry her set of gobstone toys and some other small things, and the others were shrunk and taken away with the shrinking spell.

Harry followed down to see them off.

"Are you two the only ones going back? Your parents won't go back with you?"

Harry asked a little confused on the way.

"That's right! Ess, where have mom and dad gone? How should we find them in such a big place as Diagon Alley?"

Ernie also suddenly thought of this problem and looked at Esther anxiously.

Esther was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, I know where they are, just follow me."

Before she came today, she had talked about wanting to eat the new ice cream from Florin's Cold Drink Shop several times at home. Her parents must have heard it, so there was a high probability that they would be waiting for them there.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you guess wrong. You just happen to be there to try the new ice cream. Anyway, your trip will definitely not be in vain.

Harry stopped walking as he walked them into Diagon Alley.

Esther turned to look.

Among the people coming and going, Harry waved goodbye to them wearing his iconic round glasses.

The crowd was bustling, and many people passed by him in groups, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.

Even though Harry watched them leave with a smile, he seemed alone and a little lonely compared to the busy pedestrians around him.

Esther didn't say anything, just waved to him, and then pulled Ernie to blend in with the crowd.

It quickly disappeared before Harry's eyes.

No need to feel lonely.

Esther told Harry in her mind.

After this semester, you will have a loved one who loves you.

Your godfather, Sirius Black.

That way you have a home.
