That afternoon, the news that Hufflepuff's Esther Mayne was attacked quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.

According to insiders, she was unconscious alone at the corner of the third floor and was discovered by a group of Slytherins passing by. It is said that when he was discovered, he had no memory and was in a daze. It was suspected that someone had attacked him with a powerful oblivion magic.

The incident quickly aroused huge controversy.

First of all, the dance party has just ended and the second game has not started yet, so everyone is very idle.

Secondly, Esther is quite popular among the students. In addition, she had a duel with students from other schools some time ago, and she has won a huge reputation among the students.

So in just one afternoon, by evening, the entire school, including students from the other two schools, knew about Esther.

"They really didn't use their brains. They suspected that you were secretly harmed by students from other schools. Why did they still suspect us?"

In the infirmary, Draco watched Esther take small bites of food and told her what happened outside with a complaining look on his face.

Esther was happy when she heard what he said: "Perhaps no matter what bad things happen, it's quite reasonable to blame you Slytherins, so everyone likes to blame you."

Draco curled his lips, seeming to disagree with her statement.

After the news came out today, many people wanted to come to the infirmary to visit Esther, but they were blocked by Mrs. Pomfrey on the grounds that they were "not suitable for visiting due to physical reasons."

Although it could block passers-by who didn't know the truth, it couldn't stop Draco as a participant. He went directly to Professor Snape and didn't know what he said. Anyway, Professor Snape brought him here.

He first talked to Esther about what happened outside, and then turned the topic to what he cared about most.

"What you said today...that you are willing to be my girlfriend, is it true or false?"

He asked a little hesitantly.

Esther knew he would ask this question, so she smiled at him and said, "Of course it's true. I did love to tell you nonsense before, but I have never told you lies recently."

The corners of Draco's mouth rose involuntarily. He was obviously very happy, but he had to pretend to be calm and tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart: "Thank you for knowing that you always lied to me before."

Esther was still smiling: "I can't help it. You used to be so fierce and vicious like a bully. I don't dare to tell you the truth."

Draco snorted coldly. In view of their newly established relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, he decided to ignore this sentence for the time being.

Seeing him so happy, Esther had to say something embarrassing: "It's okay for us to fall in love, but the relationship cannot be made public for the time being. We have to talk secretly."

As soon as he said this, the smile on Draco's face disappeared, and he frowned and asked, "Why?"

Because of her secret, if it were exposed in the future and Voldemort knew that she had been in love with Draco, it would definitely implicate him.

Even if her secrets are not exposed, it can be inferred from the conversation between her and Dumbledore that her father has a close relationship with Dumbledore and is likely to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. If they were really members of the Order of the Phoenix, then Draco's family and hers were destined to go into two camps.

If the love relationship between the two of them is made public, it may have some impact on the Malfoy family. After all, they don't have much trust in Voldemort.

But he couldn't tell him these things.

Sometimes, ignorance is the greatest protection for a person.

None of the Death Eaters have a bad temper, and this can be seen from young Crouch.

He had obviously discovered the suspicion from the beginning, but he deliberately watched Esther quibble again and again, until she thought she had fooled her and relaxed completely, and then made a surprise move.

He didn't care about the life or death of a student. If Esther hadn't said before that Professor Snape knew she was coming to him, and the task given by the Dark Lord had not been completed yet, which would cause a huge disturbance, he might really have Wouldn't mind killing Esther.

So, how can any Death Eater not be crazy?

Except for the little fool in front of me who paid off his father's sins.

Esther looked at Draco with pity, and in his puzzled eyes, she quickly thought of a reason.

"Because of my father, my father doesn't let me fall in love." She said, "If he knows that I study hard in school and fall in love, you are finished and so am I."

She wasn't lying, because her father did say so.

Draco could accept this reason, because when Esther's father came to school to visit Esther last year, he beat him secretly and openly.

At that time, his relationship with Esther had just eased a bit, and her father was afraid that they would secretly fall in love.

Moreover, although her father looked gentle on the surface, the tone and tone of his speech always made him feel a bit like Professor Snape, and he was subconsciously a little in awe.

Although he could accept it in his heart, and even thought it was right, it didn't stop him from complaining: "Okay, I can accept this reason, but you have to talk about love in secret. Your father is a bit too involved."

Esther looked at him with a smile: "I also think he has too many things! You can give him your opinion in person. It would be great if he could listen to you."

It would be best if her father could stop holding on to her grades all the time.

Draco was immediately frightened when he heard what she said. He didn't dare to say such things in front of David. How dare he give him advice?

He was frightened, but he still said stubbornly: "How can I give advice to my elders? In this case, I will reluctantly fall in love with you secretly."

Esther just kept laughing. She thought Master Ma's inconsistent performance was so funny.

Perhaps she was smiling too wildly, and Draco felt a burst of embarrassment. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched her cheek, and deliberately gritted his teeth and said, "If you laugh at me again, I'll get angry!"

Esther tried her best to hold back her laughter, coughed slightly and said, "I'm not laughing anymore, please be careful not to touch my spilled juice."

Draco retracted his hand unhappily: "It would be nice if you could focus more on other people than on food."

Esther raised her head and looked at him: "No, are you even jealous of food? Boyfriend?"

Draco snorted and said, "Nonsense, why am I jealous? I think you like eating too much!"

It was getting late, and Madam Pomfrey had already come over to urge Draco to leave.

He was a little reluctant to leave and stood up unwilling to leave.

Esther waved to him, and when Draco came over, she gently raised her head and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good night, Draco."

She smiled and waved to him.

Draco was already frozen there, with a blush on his face.
