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

It wasn't until mid-February that Esther came out of the infirmary.

She stayed for nearly two months this time.

When she appeared in the auditorium early that morning, the students from other houses, including the Hufflepuff students, all had incredible expressions on their faces, and then they reacted and surrounded her.

"Oh my god! Ess, are you healed?"

"How are you doing? Madam Pomfrey has discharged you, right?"

"Do you remember who we are?"

Everyone spoke with words of concern.

With a smile on her face, Esther didn't know whose question to answer first.

There were so many people that Ernie couldn't squeeze in. He jumped anxiously outside the crowd, wishing he could grow wings and fly directly to Esther.

Fortunately, he had Justin and Hannah by his side, and the two of them worked together to help Ernie clear a path through the crowd.

"Give way!"

"Please give way, everyone!"

When the others saw Ernie with an anxious look on his face, everyone who knew their brother-sister relationship immediately stepped out of the way, allowing him to walk to Esther smoothly.

"Ais!"

Ernie couldn't help hugging Esther and started sobbing: "You are finally better! I was worried to death! Madam Pomfrey still doesn't let me go in to see you, you don't know how worried we are about your physical condition. "

At the end of his speech, he still couldn't hold back the tears and fell down.

Esther patted his back comfortingly: "Okay, I have nothing serious to do now, please don't cry."

Ernie let go of Esther, reached out and casually wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at her carefully, and felt slightly relieved when he saw that her face was rosy and she seemed to be fine.

They sat down at Hufflepuff's long table. From time to time, people came over curiously and asked Esther what happened.

Not only were the students from Hufflepuff House curious, but students from several other houses were also curious. Esther was suddenly surrounded by Hogwarts students.

There are the most Hufflepuffs, followed by Gryffindors, and occasionally a few curious Ravenclaws come over. Of course, Slytherin will not join in the fun.

But there are still many Slytherins silently paying attention to the situation here.

Everyone has some curiosity.

Faced with everyone's concerned or curious inquiries, Esther shook her head and said she didn't know.

She didn't know who attacked her, nor what happened before she was attacked. She even couldn't remember many things clearly due to the sequelae of forgetfulness.

But too many people came to ask. She explained over and over again, and she became a little impatient later, so she pretended to have a headache and was weak. In an instant, the Hufflepuff friends panicked. Cedric personally stood up and advised those students who came over with curiosity not to ask too many questions. Esther needed to rest.

Cedric himself is one of the prefects of Hufflepuff and one of the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament. His reputation in the school has gradually grown recently, and he is even more popular than Harry. He has spoken, whether it is Students from their own college or other colleges will listen to him.

So soon, the crowd surrounding Esther dispersed, and Esther was finally able to enjoy a good breakfast.

Ernie felt a little distressed and pushed some of Esther's usual favorite foods in front of her and said, "Eat more, I think you have lost weight recently."

Esther:…

Although her diet was indeed light during the time she was hospitalized, Draco often brought her late-night snacks, so she really didn't lose weight. It felt like she had lost weight, maybe just because of the illusion that Ernie was wearing his brother's filter.

But instead of retorting, she accepted Ernie's kindness with a smile.

Even if I almost eat myself in the end.

Because she lay in the infirmary for a long time, her classes naturally fell behind a lot.

Normally, she would always review carefully in order not to lose points, but now she has a serious excuse.

When the teacher asks her questions in class, she only needs to apologize to the professors and tell them that she can't remember. Most of the professors will look at her with pity and apology, understanding that she will even feel guilty.

Therefore, even if she fails to answer the question, she will not be deducted points, and will even be tolerant to give her points.

Of course, this refers only to Professor Flitwick.

All other classes are easy to fool, but the Potions class is hard to fool.

As one of the people who knew his true situation, Professor Snape would not let her go on purpose. He would ask questions as usual during class, and would directly deduct points if she could not answer, showing no mercy at all.

After Esther lost several points in Potions class, she had a better memory and did not dare to challenge Professor Snape anymore, so she started to review her homework obediently.

When the other Hufflepuff students saw how seriously she was reviewing her homework, they all felt distressed and advised her not to work so hard.

"You're not fully recovered yet. You really don't have to work so hard. Just deduct points. It doesn't matter. Anyway, our Hufflepuffs are always at the bottom and everyone is used to it."

Esther had heard similar words said to her by many people.

Regarding the matter of deducting points, the entire Hufflepuff took it very seriously. What's more, one of this year's warriors is their Hufflepuff Cedric. With this honor in front of them, they don't care whether they are divided into houses or not.

Esther was very moved by their relationship, but the points deduction was secondary. The main reason was that she was really afraid of Professor Snape, so she continued to study.

While secretly chatting with Draco through the double-sided mirror, Esther also asked him for some knowledge about Potions.

Draco's potions class has always been very good, or the overall level of potions in Slytherin is better than the other three houses.

Except, of course, Goyle and Crabbe.

Even Draco himself complained more than once that Goyle and Crabbe were of no use except for eating, and even had to copy his homework.

With this kind of effort, time soon came to the end of February, and the second game was about to begin.

Hermione and the others still found a time alone to meet Esther before the start of the second game.

When Esther apologetically returned the damaged Marauder's Map to Harry, she saw the surprise in Harry's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I...I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I found that the map was broken."

Harry took the map and looked at the burned Marauder's Map with distressed eyes, feeling a pang of regret in his heart.

He later learned from Sirius that this map was made by his father and Sirius when they were in school, and he cherished everything related to his parents.

He did feel sorry that the map was broken, but he didn't blame Esther for it.

"It doesn't matter. I'll write to Sirius and ask him. Maybe he can fix the Marauder's Map."

Harry even smiled to comfort Esther.
