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

Draco felt his heart begin to beat uncontrollably again.

He looked at Esther's bright smile, as if all his worries had collapsed in front of her.

His heart suddenly filled up.

He wanted to hold her in his arms immediately and share with her what had happened recently, even though she would deliberately complain that the things she said were always annoying, but she would still listen to him.

This feeling of calmness and warmth, as if they had known each other for many years and would continue to do so for many, many more years to come.

He thought so, and did so.

He hugged Esther tightly, lowered his head and buried it on her neck and shoulder.

Since Draco was now much taller than Esther, this action was a bit funny to be honest.

Esther patted Draco's back comfortingly and said in a humorous tone: "Don't be too moved. When you hug me like this, I always have the illusion that you are my son."

Draco: ...

In an instant, all the touching emotions disappeared. He raised his head with a frown and complained: "Is it appropriate to listen to what you said? You also said that I deserve a beating for my words. You also deserve a beating sometimes."

Esther answered him with a smile: "But I only speak so rudely to you. In the eyes of others, I am quite perfect!"

"You know that you bullied me."

Draco complained quietly.

"So what are you going to do? Lie to your parents that we have no contact?"

Esther asked him.

Draco replied decisively: "No, I will refuse my father's request directly, and then find out why they changed our relationship."

Esther was a little surprised: "To be honest, your answer is a bit out of character. Are you starting to disobey your father?"

"I am in fifth grade this year. Not counting this year, I will graduate in two grades! I am not a child. Of course I can't listen to my parents for everything!"

"...You're right, but I still think it's a bit strange coming from your mouth. After all, you always mentioned "my dad" in the past."

"..."

Esther returned to the dormitory before curfew, and Donna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her back.

"What about your homework?"

She looked at Esther's empty hands and couldn't help but ask.

Esther replied casually: "I looked around in the library before I remembered that I hadn't finished my Transfiguration homework at all."

Donna:…

"By the way, Ess, have you not been to the infirmary recently?"

She asked cautiously: "Although what I'm going to say next seems to be questioning your mental inability, you have to believe that I really only care about you. Is your illness not cured yet, so that's why you are like this..."

She paused here, as if thinking about how to describe it: "Forgetful?"

Esther: "..."

She forced a smile: "Maybe, maybe I don't have a good brain sometimes."

"But this doesn't stop Esther from getting No. 1!" Ariana was writing something next to the desk, casually interjecting into their conversation, and then looking at Esther expectantly: "Quick, quick, quick! It just so happens that my transformation homework is also done. It’s not finished yet, let’s write it together!”

Esther accepted her invitation with a sigh, sat next to her, and took out her textbook.

——Her transformation homework is really not finished.

"Actually, the next Transfiguration class is the third period the day after tomorrow, so you don't need to work so hard on writing, right?"

Donna looked at them hesitantly.

She hasn't finished her Transfiguration homework either.

"But there is a Potions class tomorrow. Professor Snape assigns more homework than Professor McGonagall every time. If you don't do it now, are you sure you have time to do it tomorrow?"

Ariana said to Donna as she held the quill and glanced at Esther's homework.

When Donna heard this, she felt that what Ariana said made sense, so she couldn't sit still anymore, crawled out of bed and joined them.

Although Professor Mike is serious and rigid, to be honest, he is not a professor who likes to embarrass students. As long as you write carefully, you will find that the homework she assigns is not many, but it is more difficult.

Halfway through writing, Esther was the first to stop.

She rubbed her wrist and said a little discouraged: "I think as a Hufflepuff, instead of working hard to do homework in the middle of the night, it is more in line with our personality to have a midnight snack."

"Indeed." Donna also stopped: "Then let's sneak into the kitchen to find some food?"

Esther immediately raised her hand: "This is a good idea!"

Ariana hesitated: "But, what if I can't finish my homework tomorrow?"

Esther said: "I can definitely finish it. The first class tomorrow is History of Magic. I'll make up for it at that time."

"Also... okay."

Ariana gave in.

"Then shall we go now?" Donna said expectantly: "But it's already curfew. It's easy to be discovered if you sneak out, right? Which prefects are on patrol today?"

Esther replied: "I know Ernie is on night patrol today. I heard from Justin that he hangs around the kitchen specifically, because we Hufflepuffs always like to sneak out for supper in the middle of the night, and he will stay there to catch people."

"Huh? Wouldn't that be difficult to sneak in?" Ariana complained: "Although he was very handsome when he confronted Pansy today, he doesn't cover up at all every time he catches a Hufflepuff student violating school rules. If he catches us, he will definitely drive us back.”

"This is simple." Esther took out her wand and said to them, "Do you know the Disguise Charm?"

Donna and Ariana shook their heads together.

"It doesn't matter, I can." Esther cast a disembodiment spell on herself, and soon she became like a chameleon, blending into the surrounding environment, making it difficult for onlookers to notice.

"Oh! This spell is so fun!" Donna praised it full of praise: "It's also very suitable for playing tricks on others."

"...Don't just think about playing tricks on others." Esther said while casting the same spell on them both: "This spell is also easy to discover. If you really want to play tricks on others, you might as well buy Wei A mischievous product of the Sly Twins.”

It can also add some extra income to her as a shareholder.

How great.

They sneak out and sneak back in again.

Everything was perfect except that I didn't fall asleep very late because I was so full.

But because they didn't have a good rest, they didn't catch up on their homework in the History of Magic class the next day, but caught up on their sleep.
