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

As expected, their parents were waiting for them in the Florin Cold Drink Shop.

On the table is the latest ice cream that Esther has longed for.

And, of course, there was chocolate ice cream that Ernie wanted to eat.

When David saw them appearing, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What a surprise. We just ordered ice cream and you came, so just watch us eat."

Esther didn't believe what he said, so she stepped forward and scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, with a happy smile on her face.

"Dad loves to lie. You don't like desserts, let alone this kind of ice cream."

She rolled her eyes at David and continued eating her ice cream happily.

David said to his wife expressionlessly: "I finally know why she entered Hufflepuff College."

Mr. MacMillan on the side heard what he said and took over the words very naturally: "Of course it is because of Essé's wonderful qualities such as kindness, integrity, friendliness, etc. that she entered the equally wonderful Hufflepuff House."

"That's right!"

Ernie, who was a step behind, was a little worried about his parents, but when he saw Esther eating ice cream as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but quietly walked to the other side of the table and picked up his own portion of chocolate ice cream. Eat it in small bites.

As he ate, he had a happy expression on his face similar to Esther's, and had time to agree with what his father said.

Because he believes that, as a student of Hufflepuff House, he also possesses the virtues mentioned above.

And, long live chocolate ice cream! ! !

David: "..."

Except for him and Mrs. Macmillan, everyone else present was Hufflepuff, so what could he say.

He looked at the expressions of his daughter and nephew Ernie, who were indulging in delicious food, and had nothing to say.

I can only say that blood ties are indeed powerful.

After eating ice cream, they ended their trip to Diagon Alley for the day.

Back home it was time to settle accounts.

Letitia scolded Esther for not buying things willfully, and David shouldn't allow her to act recklessly.

Letitia had a gentle nature, and even when she got angry, she didn't make a big fuss. She just had a headache looking at the father and daughter who seemed to be listening to her reprimands attentively, as if they sincerely recognized their mistakes.

She knew them too well, and this expression meant that they admitted their mistake, but would dare to do it next time.

It's really frustrating.

Obviously, both the husband and the daughter can always remain calm and composed when facing outsiders, but once the father and daughter confront each other, one becomes more childish than the other.

David also often said that Esther didn't look like him. He should really see the look on their faces now. They couldn't be more alike! !

Seeing that her mother seemed really angry, Esther quickly admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again next time."

She blinked her watery eyes, and those eyes that were clearer and more pure than sapphires stared at her pitifully, which made Letitia feel soft.

However, Esther's next words made her harden her heart again.

"It's all dad's fault this time! If he hadn't made me angry first, I wouldn't have thought of revenge on him!"

"Haha." David sneered: "How can I compare to you? Do you know how relieved I was when the shop owner vividly told us what a perfect shrinking spell you cast to shrink things and take them away after we went back. ?Maybe instead of studying magic at Hogwarts, my daughter should go into Hollywood and act."

Started again! Started again!

Letitia took a deep breath.

Sure enough, they couldn't say more than a few words before they started talking to each other.

She finally couldn't help shouting: "Shut up!"

After successfully suppressing the father and daughter who were quarreling again, she said angrily and helplessly: "I think you still haven't realized your mistake. Both of you have been spoiled. From today on, all the golden gallons in you will be Turn it in and I'll keep it for you. If you need money for anything, come to me and ask for it. I've discovered that you two are spending money lavishly, and I won't be able to keep a single word in your hands!"

Esther and her father looked at each other, and then the two of them started to have fun with each other in perfect agreement.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I really know I was wrong. I only have a little private money. Ernie can go to Hogsmeade this year, and other children can ask their senior classmates to help bring Zizi from Hogsmeade. I don’t have honey bees and all kinds of beautiful stationery, so am I not too pitiful, mom?”

Esther looked at her mother pitifully and whispered.

"I'm sorry, wife. I really shouldn't spoil her. Although I have been very busy at work recently and need to spend money to take care of a lot of things, you usually work harder, so I am willing to hand over all my money to you for safekeeping. You can go Buy some clothes and jewelry that you like, and don't worry about me. I don't have to attend my colleagues' gatherings. When I encounter areas that need to be paid for, I can overcome them myself. It doesn't matter even if they give me a cold look."

David pretended to be generous, but in fact he was advancing at the expense of retreat.

Letitia knew that the father and daughter were deliberately miserable, but she just fell into this trap.

So he sighed: "You guys! At this time, we are all angry with the same enemy. Well, I will let you go this time. If there is a next time, I will never let you go so easily."

Esther smiled, happily hugged Letitia and acted coquettishly: "Thank you, mom, I know mom loves me the most."

David looked at his daughter with disgust, but because Letitia had just lost her temper, he finally said nothing this time.

Their family was playing around like this, and in a blink of an eye it was the first day of school.

Calmly walking through the wall between platforms nine and ten, Esther's family arrived at platform nine and three-quarters.

The bright red old-fashioned steam train roared, and parents coming and going were reluctant to say goodbye to their students.

David squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then he suddenly thought of something and told Esther: "I suddenly thought of something. Because of Sirius Black's escape from prison, there may be dementors entering your school this year. Can you?" Be careful, those things are not easy to deal with.”

Faced with her father's sudden warning, Esther said "hmm" to show that she understood.

Of course she knew. Not only did she know it, but she also started practicing the Patronus Charm early in the morning.

David looked at her meaningfully and said, "You don't seem surprised at all."

Esther said: "What's so surprising about this? Sirius Black is a subordinate of the Dark Lord. If he escapes from prison, he will definitely come to Harry Potter for trouble, so it is normal for Hogwarts to have Dementors patrolling Nothing more."

She didn't notice that in the corner where she didn't notice, her mother Letitia pinched her father David's wrist without leaving any trace.

If she had seen it, she would have understood that her mother's action was to stop her father from saying something he shouldn't have said.

"Well, you're really smart, so don't get me into trouble."

David praised her without hesitation, and then urged her to get on the train: "The train is leaving soon. Go find your friends. I hope you won't have any accidents this semester."

Esther thought to herself that you would be a blessing.

Rest assured, the next few years will not be peaceful at Hogwarts.
