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

When the train arrived at the station, it was completely dark.

Esther suddenly felt nervous for some reason. She raised her hand to straighten her school uniform and followed the crowd off the train.

Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, held a lantern and led all the first-year students in a boat across the Black Lake to Hogwarts.

Except for the first-year students, students from other grades had to take carriages to Hogwarts, so she had to be separated from Ernie and the others.

Before leaving, Ernie gave her a cheering gesture.

"I'll wait for you at Hufflepuff!"

He seemed pretty sure that Esther would get into Hufflepuff.

Esther waved her hand at him, took a deep breath and got on the boat.

There were two girls in the same boat with her, one had blond hair, big eyes and sweet dimples; the other had red hair, some freckles on her cheeks, a delicate appearance, and a little shy.

Esther took a few more glances at the red-haired girl and guessed that she was Ginny Weasley, the youngest and only daughter of the Weasley family and the future wife of the savior Harry.

She really wanted to talk to her, but seeing that she was shy and didn't want to talk to people around her, she held back and didn't strike up a conversation.

She lowered her head and looked at the surface of the Black Lake. It was said that there were mermaids and giant octopuses inside. She didn't know if they could be seen from the surface.

"What are you looking at?"

Another blonde girl saw her staring at the lake and couldn't help asking curiously.

Although Ginny said nothing, she also cast curious eyes over.

Esther explained: "My dad told me that there are mermaids and giant squids in the Black Lake. I'll see if I can see them."

After she explained, the other two girls poked their heads out curiously.

But it was too dark and they couldn't see anything.

"My sister told me that Slytherin's dormitory can see into the Black Lake, and she has seen the giant squid floating outside the window."

The blonde girl said.

When Slytherin was mentioned, Ginny wrinkled her nose subconsciously, which showed that she really didn't like this house.

Esther also understood that Gryffindor and Slytherin had always been at odds. Her family was all Gryffindor, not to mention that before the start of school, she had an unpleasant dispute with two very representative Slytherins, Mr. Malfoy. , if it were her position, she wouldn't like this academy.

Esther didn't say anything, but looked at this beautiful girl who looked like a Barbie doll: "Slytherin's dormitory is in the basement. You can indeed see the lake, but I think it's a bit scary."

And it’s easy to get rheumatism.

perhaps?

After all, you have been staying at the bottom of the lake, so it must be wet.

Esther guessed.

The blonde girl said: "It's okay. My sister doesn't think it's dangerous at all. It's just that the giant squid will hit the window when you sleep at night, which will affect your sleep."

Esther asked: "Is your sister a Slytherin student?"

The blond girl nodded: "My sister was a Slytherin student one year older than me."

Blonde hair, one year younger than Malfoy, and an older sister in the same class as Malfoy.

Esther looked at her carefully, and the answer was ready to come out in her heart.

"My name is Esther Mayne, what's your name?" she asked.

The blonde girl answered her, "My name is Astoria Greengrass."

Sure enough, it was Astoria.

Draco Malfoy's wife, a supporting character who rarely appears in the original work.

Now that I've said hello to her, I can't ignore the other one.

Then Esther looked at Ginny aside.

"What about you? What's your name?"

Perhaps it was because both of them were friendly that Ginny said to them without much rejection, "My name is Ginny, Ginny Weasley."

There was a flash of surprise in Astoria's eyes, Ginny noticed it, and she looked straight at it fearlessly.

Although Astoria was a little surprised, she didn't say anything mean.

As one of the 28 pure-blood families, Astoria has accepted the theory of pure-blood supremacy since she was a child, but compared to children from other pure-blood families, her personality is much gentler and kinder.

This is also reflected in the book. In the finale of the entire Harry Potter novel, it was mentioned that after Astoria married Draco Malfoy, in the official setting, the girl was cursed with a blood curse and was born. After killing Scorpius Malfoy, he died in his 30s.

Astoria refused to educate her children with the idea that Muggles are scum. For this reason, Lucius and Narcissa were very disappointed with their daughter-in-law, so the atmosphere at every family gathering was very tense.

For such a good girl to die at such a young age, the story may not be that real, but now that she sees her in person, Esther feels a little pity.

There is no other meaning, it is purely that there are not many Slytherins as kind and beautiful as her.

After saying each other's names, the three of them said nothing more and crossed the Black Lake in silence.

Next comes the most important sorting ceremony.

Esther took a deep breath and told herself to relax.

Professor McGonagall, wearing an emerald green cloak, read out the list of first-year students on brown paper. The students whose names were read came forward and put on the sorting hat to sort them into different houses.

The sorting ceremony went on in an orderly manner, and Ginny and Astoria were sorted into Slytherin and Gryffindor respectively according to the original books.

Both colleges burst into loud applause.

Soon it was Esther's turn.

She took a deep breath and walked to the front, putting on the sorting hat.

"Oh, let me see, you are very smart and courageous..."

"Go Hufflepuff go Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff!"

Esther didn't wait for the Sorting Hat to finish her words, but she was screaming in her head to go to Hufflepuff.

She knew that the Sorting Hat would sort students into different colleges based on their characteristics, but if the student wanted to go to a certain college very strongly, it would also listen to the student's ideas.

"Are you sure?" the Sorting Hat asked her somewhat differently: "You are the first student to ask to go to Hufflepuff in so many years. To be honest, I think Ravenclaw is more suitable for you."

Are you kidding me? She doesn't want to get involved with those roll kings!

The Sorting Hat's words frightened Esther, and she repeated even more fiercely: "If you go to Hufflepuff, go to Hufflepuff, go to Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff." Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff!!!”

"Okay, stop reading, I'll let you go to Hufflepuff!"

The Sorting Hat couldn't resist and immediately shouted: "Hufflepuff!"

The long table belonging to Hufflepuff suddenly burst into applause.

Ernie in particular was the most excited.

He wanted to stand at the dinner table and cheer for her.

When the dust settled, Esther breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards Ernie happily.
