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

Sobering up is always the most social time for a person, especially when he still clearly remembers the jokes he made while drunk.

This is Esther's current situation.

She was already thinking about the procedures for withdrawing from Hogwarts.

"What's wrong, Ess? Why do you have such a devastated expression on your face?"

The day after the Yule Ball, the students' mental states were polarized.

Some of them were too excited in the first half of the night and were listless after getting up this morning. Others continued to be excited and were still in high spirits until the next day.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another problem: the number of couples has increased significantly.

When you walk in the castle, you can easily see couples holding hands and talking. It seems that overnight, the whole castle is filled with the atmosphere of young and sweet love.

"I am fine."

Esther shook her head and said nothing to Ernie.

What can she say?

Said that she was drunk yesterday and dragged Draco to the astronomy tower, and she had to jump off the astronomy tower to show him flying skills.

Or was he talking nonsense when he was drunk, admitting that he liked Draco but refusing to fall in love with him?

No matter what happened, she regretted it and wanted her to forget it all by herself.

Why do people not remember anything the next day when they are drunk? And not only did she remember it, she remembered it so clearly! !

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in pain and death.

"You really don't look like you're okay." Ernie was still worried: "Did something happen at the dance yesterday?"

"No, not really." Esther immediately denied: "Yesterday I danced once and then went back. Nothing happened."

Seeing that she didn't want to mention it too much, Ernie didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Hermione came to Esther to do homework together.

Although there are still a few days before the end of Christmas vacation, most students are not in a hurry to start writing homework, but Hermione is obviously not suitable for this "majority".

It happened that Esther was regretting the stupid thing she did yesterday, and doing homework would just divert her attention, so she agreed to Hermione.

They came to the library together.

Hermione didn't look very happy either. She said she was doing homework, but in fact she just wanted to chat with Esther.

Except for Esther, she has no female friends who play well, so she can only tell her some things.

"Ron and I had a big fight yesterday after we went back. Although Harry thought what I said was right, he didn't dare to agree with me in front of Ron because he and Ron reconciled with great difficulty!"

Hermione's eyes were a little sad as she said, "Although I can understand Harry's choice, to be honest, I'm still a little sad, so I don't want to talk to them recently."

Esther took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket, and after confirming that they were not the weird candies given to her by the Weasley twins, she reached out and handed them to Hermione.

During this time, George and Fred had been selling their prank products in schools, and the response was pretty good, and as one of their current shareholders, Esther also received some share.

"When you are unhappy, eat a piece of candy and your mood will be relieved."

She said gently to Hermione.

"Oh, thank you."

Hermione was moved and took the candies: "I always feel like you carry a lot of candies with you. I also liked eating candies when I was young, but my parents are both dentists and are very strict about this aspect. I usually don’t let me eat too much sugar.”

She peeled off the wrapper of a candy and ate one.

The sweet taste filled her mouth, which really made her feel a lot better.

It’s not that I like eating sweets, but it’s because the feeling of being cared about is really warm.

This is also one of the reasons why she likes Esther. No matter what she complains to her, she will not judge who is right or wrong at will, but silently express her concern.

Not just for her, but for Harry or anyone else.

"Did you know? Yesterday, Harry and the others heard Snape and Karkaroff arguing, and also heard the conversation between Hagrid and Ms. Maxim. Poor Hagrid annoyed Ms. Maxim, and they probably didn't follow up. ”

Hermione wanted to make things more interesting.

Although she felt that with Esther's character, even if she knew that Hagrid was a hybrid giant, she would not ridicule Hagrid, but she felt that it would be impolite to reveal the secrets that others had hidden, so for the time being I hid the matter first.

"Tsk, at dances, you always whisper with your partner. How come it's just the two of them who are alone with Harry and Ron?"

Esther said.

Hermione smiled, expressing no sympathy for the fact that they had been snubbed by their partners at the ball.

"By the way Hermione, Krum asked you to dance. Does he like you? Has he confessed to you? Are you together?"

It's not that she's gossiping, she's just genuinely curious.

When Hermione heard this question, her face suddenly turned red. She said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe, but I haven't decided whether to agree to him yet."

Esther covered her mouth to suppress the surprise that almost blurted out: "Although I had a premonition, I am still surprised to hear you say it yourself."

Hermione was even more embarrassed.

At this moment, how could Esther remember doing her homework? She said with a face full of gossip: "Why does it seem that everyone is in love all of a sudden? In fact, the Krum people are not bad, otherwise why would he do that? Why have you been running to the library for a while? It's not because you are often in the library."

Hermione pretended to be calm and looked at Esther, but the blush on her cheeks still exposed her inner uneasiness: "He is really nice. Although he looks cold and unkind on the outside, he is actually quite polite when we get along with him. .”

They gossiped for a while and didn't leave until it was time for lunch. During this long time, neither of them wrote a word.

Esther was able to talk about love between others with great enthusiasm, and what she said was logical, but it didn't work when it came to herself.

While having lunch, she met a group of Slytherins headed by Draco.

Perhaps it was because of Esther's decisive rejection last night that Draco felt a little angry, so when he saw Esther, it was as if he hadn't seen him.

Esther averted her eyes with some guilt, and her mood that had just calmed down began to become awkward again.

Not even delicious food could save her mood at this time.

She couldn't stay like this forever, she had to find something to do for herself.

So she decided to put the "Moody" matter on the agenda first.

The second game is only a few days away.

It still matters.
