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

There are indeed some less obvious messy dog ​​footprints at the end of this corridor. They turn the corner from the end of this corridor and spread to the right.

Esther knelt down and studied it carefully, and she could only confirm that it looked like a dog's footprints, and the rest could not be seen.

Draco had just been so angry at her bold move that he stood there without moving, wanting to just turn around and leave regardless of her life or death.

"What are you looking at?"

He shouted in a low voice, his tone full of anxiety.

Esther stood up and waved to him: "Come and take a look."

Reason told Draco that it was better to leave here as soon as possible, but his curiosity was aroused by Esther's series of actions. Seeing that there seemed to be no danger around him, he hesitated, and finally chose to walk over quickly.

"What on earth are you doing? Just now you said it was too cold outside and you were afraid that your cold would get worse, and now the cold wind is blowing here."

He couldn't help complaining.

Esther ignored his complaints and just pointed at the footprints on the ground with her wand: "Do you think this looks like a dog's footprints?"

Draco glanced down subconsciously: "It seems so, right? So a dog ran over just now? Does anyone in Hogwarts have a dog?"

"It doesn't have to be a dog. What if it's some magical dog-like animal that escapes from the Forbidden Forest?"

Esther said slowly.

"This direction..."

Draco looked along the footprints: "This direction seems to lead to the Gryffindor lounge."

When Esther heard this, she tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and asked, "Are you sure this is the direction of the Gryffindor lounge?"

If it can be confirmed, it should be Sirius Black without a doubt.

Unfortunately, she didn't get to see his Animagus form with her own eyes.

Esther's sense of direction is not very good, and she has never been to the Gryffindor lounge, so she doesn't know the way very well.

Draco didn't know what he was thinking of, so he nodded and said with certainty: "It's the direction of the Gryffindor lounge. I will definitely remember it correctly."

At this point, a gloating smile appeared on his face: "No matter if he is a dog or some dangerous creature, he is heading for Gryffindor anyway. If he is unlucky, it will be the group of stupid lions. Okay, let's go back quickly. Bar."

Esther hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not choose to go and find out what was going on, and silently followed Draco to the infirmary.

It wasn't that she wasn't interested in Sirius Black, it was mainly because she was too hungry and eating was more important.

When we got back to the infirmary, the food was still warm.

Esther divided the food into two parts and gave them to Draco faithfully.

"Here, half for each person."

She kept her half and put the remaining half in the food box and handed it to Draco's bedside.

He glanced at her in surprise, and then accepted it calmly: "Since you gave it to me so sincerely, I will accept it reluctantly."

He said as he took it with his good hand.

Esther twitched the corner of her mouth but did not let go.

Draco found that she didn't let go after he took it, and he said in confusion: "Huh?"

Esther stared at him and said, "Since you are so reluctant, you don't have to accept it."

"What?" Draco frowned dissatisfied: "You regret it again?"

"It's not that I regret it again, but your tone really deserves a beating. Can't you speak properly?"

Esther sighed and let go, letting him take the food.

"Why didn't I speak properly?"

When Draco heard what she said, he became even more dissatisfied: "You just don't like me, so you think it's all my fault."

His tone was rather irritated. If one hand had not been injured and prevented him from moving, he would have put the food box on the bedside angrily.

"Okay!" Esther looked around, pulled up a chair and sat in front of his bed, eating hot meatloaf and said, "Then let's have a good talk."

"What to talk about? What do we have to talk about?"

Draco said firmly.

Seeing how good she was eating, he finally couldn't help but take a piece of meat pie and eat it while getting angry at her.

"I don't want to keep confronting you like this, how about this? Let's play a game." Esther quickly finished the cake in her hand: "I will tell you about you in my eyes, and you will tell me about me in your eyes. , let’s see what kind of person we are in each other’s eyes.”

Draco rolled his eyes in disgust: "What a childish game. Go to bed as soon as you finish eating. Don't disturb my rest."

Esther put on a smile and used provocation when he was uncooperative: "Don't you dare to play? Is it because you also know your shortcomings?"

There are two reasons why this suddenly happened. The first reason is that Esther slept too much during the day, which made Esther unable to sleep at all. She was very energetic. There were no mobile games or anything like that in the magical world, so she was bored, so she had to find someone to chat with.

The second reason is that she really wants to talk to Draco. After all, Hogwarts will be more dangerous as time goes by. She has a lot of things to do, and she can't waste all her time arguing with him. superior.

After all, in terms of his ability to find trouble, Draco is really good at giving you troubles in some respects.

"Ha!" Draco sneered and put the food box on the cabinet in front of his bed: "Then please ask Miss Mayne to tell me about my shortcomings."

Sure enough, it's easy to get irritated.

Esther smiled without any trace: "In that case, let me say it first. First of all, you are very arrogant."

Draco didn't even blink at this accusation. He chose to raise his already high head even higher, not feeling this was a shortcoming at all.

"Besides being arrogant, you are a very venomous person, like to make trouble, and have a strong desire to win. But when you really lose to others, you will become angry and angry. Moreover, you are quite jealous and like to be beaten. He is sought after by others, but unfortunately he is not very courageous and will always give up first when encountering problems."

That's why he lost to Harry again and again.

They are much braver than you.

She swallowed the last two sentences without saying them.

Because she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, not continue a fight with him.

"Ah? Really?" Draco had an unclear expression on his face, and said in a long and mocking tone: "I'm so sorry to let the perfect saint-like Miss Mayne and a villain like me be in the same room. .”

He said the last sentence through gritted teeth.

As if she couldn't hear his sarcasm, Esther accepted his apology with a smile: "It doesn't matter. A person's character has a lot to do with his family and upbringing environment, so this may not be your fault."

Draco's mouth twitched: "Then I still have to thank you for your forgiveness?"

He held the wand tightly with his uninjured hand, trying desperately to suppress the urge to silence the person in front of him.

"I said it doesn't matter, now you can talk about my shortcomings."
