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

"Such a customized Firebolt must be expensive. Who would be so generous as to give such an expensive thing for Christmas?"

After breakfast, Ernie was still chattering about what had just happened, with a very envious tone.

Esther stood by but smiled.

It was indeed quite expensive, two hundred Galleons more expensive than an ordinary Firebolt. She had been in touch to customize this Firebolt before the start of school, and it wasn't until a few days ago that it was made.

The money for making the Firebolt, coupled with her investment in the Weasley brothers, had completely emptied her small coffers. Currently, she only had two gold Galleons and one silver Sickle left in her pocket.

After Draco proudly showed off his broomstick, he preciously put the broom away.

If it weren't for the snow falling outside, he seemed willing to just ride around and fly around twice.

After breakfast, since there were not many students from the four colleges staying on campus, everyone basically stayed in the auditorium chatting together, except for two Ravenclaw students who went back to study.

Esther and Draco quietly slipped out of the auditorium while no one was paying attention.

"I'm so happy!"

Almost as soon as she was away from the crowd, Draco couldn't help but rush to hug her. : "I didn't expect you to give me such an expensive gift. To be honest, I wanted to hug you tightly the first time I saw you!"

He said rather incoherently.

Esther was lifted high by him, with her toes dangling off the ground. In order to maintain balance, she could only hug him. She also said happily: "I told you that you will like the gift I prepared! You gave it to me. I also like the gift, are you making it yourself?"

"Yes." Draco rubbed her cheek affectionately and said with love in his eyes: "I have been doing this for a long time. I originally wanted to make a few more villains standing aside and be directly burned to ashes by the fire dragon. But then After thinking about it, I didn’t want other people to appear in the crystal ball, so it turned into a charred figure appearing after breathing fire. I made many figures, and you have to try a few times to see them all.”

Esther hugged his neck and couldn't help but laugh: "I've been trying for a long time, and besides Harry and the others, you actually did Dumbledore. It's really bold."

Draco disagreed: "They won't see it anyway, so what are you afraid of?"

Esther patted his shoulder and motioned for him to put her down: "Don't you want to try this Firebolt? I specially made it waterproof and windproof. Even if you take off in bad weather, it will be better than normal." The Firebolt is safer and more comfortable.

Draco's eyes lit up immediately. He let go of Esther and instead took her hand and ran outside the castle: "Then go now, I can take you to fly with me!"

"No!" Esther refused without thinking: "You fly by yourself, I will watch you from below."

"Why? It's boring to fly alone. I'm very skilled, so I won't fall to you."

"I trust your skills, but forget it."

"why?"

"There are so many reasons why, Draco, you are so verbose today!"

They walked towards the Quidditch pitch far away from the crowds, leaving a trail of footprints on the white snow.

……

The whole day of Christmas, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, is particularly sumptuous.

Esther didn't know what happened to the others, but she was very full and happy. In the end, she couldn't even hold her favorite dessert, so she had to watch it enter Ernie's stomach with pity.

After Christmas Day is over, the holidays continue.

The next night, on her way back to the dormitory, Esther was informed by a portrait that Dumbledore asked her to go to the principal's office. She obeyed with doubts.

When she arrived at the door of the principal's office, she remembered that she didn't seem to know the password, and the portrait didn't tell her.

However, the passwords in Dumbledore's office are easy to guess. Because Dumbledore likes sweets, most of the passwords are the names of candies.

She tentatively said: "Lemon Olaf?"

The stone beast at the door of the principal's office showed no movement.

"Zizi honey honey?"

She spoke again.

This time the stone beast jumped to the side, and a passage appeared in the wall.

She walked up the stairs.

This was her first time in the principal's office, and she couldn't help but be curious about everything.

Dumbledore was sitting in a high-backed chair behind the office, looking at some document.

On the side, a very beautiful big bird with golden and red feathers was dozing on the perch.

Esther's eyes couldn't help but fall on this bird, and she could guess that it was Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes.

There are many portraits hanging on the other wall, all of which are portraits of the various principals of Hogwarts.

Since it was not very late, none of these portraits were sleeping, but looked curiously at Esther who came in.

"Oh, feel free to sit down." Principal Dumbledore raised his head and greeted her with a smile: "It's your first time coming into the principal's office. I hope you won't feel restrained."

Esther smiled at Dumbledore and sat down casually: "Okay Professor, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Weasley had an accident a few days ago and was bitten by a snake and was admitted to St. Mungo's for treatment."

Dumbledore looked at her and said: "When it happened, Harry said that he dreamed everything, and in the dream he turned into the big snake that bit Mr. Weasley."

Esther blinked, a little puzzled: "I remember you asked me about Professor Snape, and I told you at that time that Harry and Voldemort had a special connection, and they could occasionally see what was happening to each other at that time."

"Yes, that's right." Dumbledore said, "But the problem is that this time Harry saw a snake, not Voldemort, so I think you should know the reason, right?"

Esther didn't know what to say.

Dumbledore should have had suspicions about the Horcruxes for a long time, and if he came to her now, he probably just wanted to confirm.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it, don't be embarrassed." Seeing that she didn't speak, Dumbledore added comfortingly.

"It's not that I'm embarrassed." Esther said, "I'm just thinking about what to say."

She paused, glanced around, and found that all the principals in the portrait were looking at her with curiosity and scrutiny.

This put some pressure on her, and she could only ignore the portraits as much as possible, and answered Dumbledore vaguely: "For some reason, Harry can only share the perspective with Voldemort, Professor."

"So you're saying that the snake was Voldemort?"

A portrait on the wall asked, sounding very suspicious.

Esther looked at the portrait and saw his name in the lower right corner - Phineas Black.

"No." Esther explained to him calmly: That big snake is called Nagini. "She said and looked at Dumbledore again.

"Nagini?" Dumbledore murmured, met Esther's gaze, and smiled: "It seems that you not only know the future, but also have some understanding of the past."
