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

When we came down, the rain outside had stopped.

Hagrid's huge body appeared at the other end of the platform, constantly greeting the panicked freshmen to gather, and just like the previous freshmen, they crossed the lake in the traditional way.

Other students need to take a carriage to the gate of Hogwarts.

Because it had just rained, the path was muddy and very difficult to walk.

Esther followed the crowd cautiously and soon saw many carriages parked in front of them.

These carriages only have carriages but no horses, but after someone gets on them, they will move on their own and bump forward.

"I've been curious since last year, what kind of magic is this?"

Ernie knew when he ran to her side, looking at the carriages running on their own with a little doubt. .

"Magic? This isn't magic."

When someone passed by them, they heard Ernie's exclamation, turned their heads and whispered this to them.

The visitor did not stop. When he finished saying this, he just passed them and continued to move forward without looking back.

Esther looked up, and even if it was just a silhouette, she could recognize who it was at a glance.

After all, he left a deep impression on her at Malfoy Manor.

Theodore Knott.

Esther only glanced at it and then looked away.

These self-moving carriages are indeed not magic, but are pulled forward by a magical animal, thestrals.

The peculiarity of the Thestrals, magical creatures, is that they can only be seen by those who have witnessed death.

Esther hasn't witnessed death, so she can't see it.

Most of the people present could not see them.

But there are always exceptions, like Theodore Nott.

It was written in the original work that he could see the Thestrals.

Thinking about his obsession with the time turner and the death of his mother when he was young, Esther couldn't help but have some guesses.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Why he is so obsessed with time turners may not be known to anyone but himself.

"Let's go."

Esther waved Ernie to continue walking forward.

Ernie followed and complained in confusion: "No, are we familiar with Nott? Why did he suddenly answer our questions? And he said it in a way that people couldn't understand."

Esther straightened her messy hair that was blown by the wind, and said softly: "If you don't understand, then don't think about it. Just pretend he didn't say anything."

They got into a carriage, and after closing the door, the carriage began to jolt forward.

Sitting in a safe and quiet space, Esther's heart completely relaxed. She closed her eyes slightly and rested her mind for a while.

Ernie didn't bother her.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

Esther and Ernie got out of the car one after another, and two extraordinary wrought iron doors came into view. There were stone pillars on both sides of the door, and on the top of the pillars were wild boars with wings. [Note 1]

This is the gate to Hogwarts.

What is more eye-catching than these is that there are two dementors standing on both sides of the door. They are guarding the door like soldiers.

Ernie looked worried: "Why is this thing here?"

Esther explained to him: "Don't you understand? Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban some time ago, and these dementors were obviously sent by the Ministry of Magic to capture Sirius Black."

Ernie didn't quite understand: "People at the Ministry of Magic think Sirius Black will enter Hogwarts?"

Esther said softly: "Because he is a loyal supporter of You-Know-Who, people from the Ministry of Magic suspect that he might sneak into Hogwarts to attack Harry."

This statement actually makes sense. Ernie looked sympathetic after hearing this: "Sometimes I always feel that Harry is so pitiful."

As a savior, while having a huge reputation, it also represents a huge crisis. Thinking about the first and second grades, it seemed that Harry's life was not peaceful in each grade.

"I heard you fainted, Potter? How did it feel to be kissed by a dementor?"

A voice full of schadenfreude sounded from the side, interrupting Ernie's sigh.

He and Esther looked over together, and saw that Harry and his party were surrounded by Draco as soon as they got off the carriage. He stood on the stone steps leading to the castle, looking up at Harry from top to bottom, his beautiful pair of His gray-blue eyes were full of schadenfreude, and the smile on his face was extremely bright.

"Malfoy comes to trouble Harry again."

Ernie couldn't stand Draco's behavior: "He wanted to surpass Harry, but he always failed, whether it was Quidditch or anything else, so he could only mock Harry as much as he wanted on such trivial matters. .”

Esther also sighed: "Forget it, he can't get any benefits anyway, let's go and ignore him."

After all, Professor Lupine was still here, and no matter how arrogant Draco was, he would not dare to go too far in front of a teacher who could deduct points from him.

They walked up the stone steps and entered the auditorium.

The semester's Sorting Ceremony begins before meals begin.

"Esther! Come here!"

As soon as she approached the Hufflepuff table, Donna waved at her.

After a summer vacation, Donna's changes were obvious. Her striking silver hair from last semester has turned into a more striking macaron purple.

"I just wanted to say it when I was in the car, your hair color is really beautiful!"

Esther sat among her roommates and the first thing she said was to compliment her hair color.

Donna shook her hair proudly and said with a smile: "I just dyed this a few days before school started. Then I used a little magic potion to prevent the color from fading. I also like this color very much."

Cathy also touched her hair and couldn't put it down: "Did you dye this color in a Muggle barber shop? It's really beautiful. Unfortunately, my parents will definitely not agree to my dyeing my hair. It's better for you Muggles." Unlike some pure-blood wizards who still cling to those old-fashioned ideas and are not open at all."

"No, Cathy, you are wrong. Not all Muggle families are so open-minded."

Ariana is also very envious of Donna: "Just like my parents would never let me dye my hair such an exaggerated color. They don't even allow me to fall in love at school."

When it came to falling in love, several roommates were in the mood for gossip. They all listed out the boys they thought were good-looking in the school. In the end, they all agreed that Cedric was the most handsome and suitable boyfriend.

"What a pity. I heard that Senior Cedric seems to have his heart set on Qiu from Ravenclaw!"

"Who did you listen to? Really?"

As expected of little badgers who love gossip, several girls got together and chatted about the gossip of various colleges, and Esther got to know a lot of couples that she had never noticed before.

For example, Percy Weasley and Ravenclaw's Penelope Crevat have become student union presidents this year.

What a surprise.
