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

Esther was indeed a little late when she got on the train.

She searched for her Hufflepuff friends throughout the carriage, and finally found her roommate in a compartment of one of the carriages.

But besides them, there was a little girl with an unfamiliar face in that carriage. She seemed to be a freshman in this class.

The first cubicle was not big, and it would seem a bit crowded if Esther was sitting in the same cubicle with them at this time.

So Esther said a few words to her roommates, then left the cubicle to look for Ernie.

Unfortunately, the compartment where Ernie and his friends were sitting was also full of people.

Of course they would leave a place for Esther who didn't get on the bus, but when a new student who didn't know anything cautiously asked them if they could rest in this compartment, most of the soft-hearted Hufflepuffs wouldn't refuse.

When Ernie saw this, he immediately stood up and wanted to accompany Esther to other compartments.

He was actually a little angry because he had reserved a place for Esther, but two new students came over during the journey. The Hufflepuffs who were traveling with him were not very good at refusing and let them in, leaving Esther without a place to rest. .

He knew that this was a trivial matter and that the two freshmen were innocent, so he tried not to lose his temper, but he still felt a little aggrieved for Esther in his heart.

Everyone else also looked ashamed.

"Otherwise, we can still sit apart if we squeeze in."

Hannah suggested.

Esther shook her head and refused, but she didn't feel anything wrong.

The blame is on her father. They agreed to send her to school together, but he was late, causing her to come a little later than other students. She was lucky to catch the train. Anyway, there were so many compartments in the carriage, so she couldn't The location may not be found.

And if you look at the two freshmen, they are already at a loss when faced with this situation.

It would also feel awkward if I were to put myself in my place.

So she advised Ernie to sit here while she went to another carriage to find other seniors.

Ernie was reluctant, but after Esther's persuasion, he still sat down slightly angrily.

Esther smiled reassuringly at the two awkward-looking freshmen, then turned and walked to a cubicle in the back.

Today was really unlucky. Several compartments were full of people, and Esther had to go to the last carriage.

She knew that the last carriage contained Harry, the three of them, and this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Remus Lupin.

When she appeared in the last compartment, Harry and the others were obviously surprised, and then greeted her warmly.

"Long time no see, Esther"

"Long time no see, Harry, Hermione and Ron."

Esther also greeted them: "I got on the train a little late. The compartment in front was full of people. Can I sit with you?"

"Of course!" Hermione answered first.

Harry had already helped Esther put her luggage.

"Thank you Harry, I hope my arrival did not interrupt your chat."

Esther sat across from them, next to the sleeping Professor Lupin.

She couldn't help but take a look at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

His face was pale and he looked very sick. He was wearing a simple old wizard's robe with a few patches on it. His gray hair made him look down and out and tired. He clearly looked not that old. It's quite big, but it looks weather-beaten.

"This should be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Seeing her staring at Lupin curiously, Harry quickly lowered his voice and explained to her.

Esther nodded and turned her gaze to them, then to the cat in Hermione's arms.

"Is this your new pet?"

she asked.

"That's right!" Hermione looked like she liked her pet: "It's called Crookshanks. Do you want to pet it?"

Esther glanced curiously at the ginger cat with a flat face, and then declined Hermione's enthusiastic request: "It's quite cute, but I don't want to use it anymore."

Seeing Esther's appearance, Ron couldn't help laughing when he thought of what happened to her at her house during the summer vacation: "Esther, you're not afraid of all animals, are you?"

Of course, Esther knew what he was laughing at. She looked at him as if nothing had happened and said respectfully: "No, at least I'm not afraid of owls and...some small animals that are harmless to humans and animals."

After saying this, she remembered what happened at the Burrow, when Ron deliberately hid in the dark to watch the excitement, and only jumped out when Esther was about to leave.

So she glared at him angrily: "What do you mean, when I was teased by your twin brother that day, were you hiding in the dark and watching the fun?"

Ron said "Uh" in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to be teased by them and cry."

Esther couldn't laugh anymore. She said expressionlessly: "No, I didn't cry. You saw it wrong."

Her tone was firm and sincere, trying to confuse his memory.

Harry and Hermione looked over curiously, and Harry asked, "What are you talking about?"

Ron told them about Esther's visit to their home that day.

Of course, he also told the story of being frightened by chickens and being teased by his two twin brothers.

It is indeed a bit funny to be scared by a chicken and run away with your head covered.

After Ron said this, both Harry and Hermione couldn't help but laugh.

Esther covered her face and sighed sadly.

"To be honest, I really can't imagine the scene Ron was talking about. After all, you behaved so forcefully and calmly in front of my aunt during the summer vacation."

Harry said to Esther while holding back his laughter.

Hermione exclaimed a little: "Esther also came to see you during the summer vacation?"

Harry nodded: "Yes, she came with Ernie and Justin. She brought me gifts and successfully frightened my aunt's family. To be honest, if I hadn't brought that annoying Maggie My aunt is so lucky, they should treat me a lot better this summer."

After all, the power Esther showed made them very afraid.

Hermione couldn't help but sigh: "You went to see Ron and Harry this summer, why don't you come to me? We can study and research together."

Esther smiled and said: "I want to find you too, but I will go back to my grandparents' house later. I signed up for a lot of cram schools at noon. I have been studying those troublesome Muggle courses. In addition to In addition, I have to take various interest classes, such as painting, music, dance, equestrian, etc., which makes my head grow bigger.”

Ron looked sympathetic when he heard this: "It's really hard to have to take so many classes during the holidays..."

"As expected of you!"

Hermione raised her voice and cut off what Ron was about to say. She said firmly: "It seems that I was too relaxed during the summer vacation. I must study harder after school starts!"

Esther:…

In fact, she spent half the time in these classes fishing and didn't listen well.

"Hermione, believe me, you have worked hard enough. You have taken all the electives this year." Harry said silently.
