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

A silence spread between them.

Esther sighed.

She couldn't tell others what she was carrying, and she used to feel anxious, but this semester her anxiety became more and more serious.

Perhaps affected by her mood, Draco on the side also became depressed, with a sullen expression on his face as he didn't know what he was thinking of.

Esther didn't want this gloomy atmosphere to spread between them. After all, this was only the fourth grade, and there would be many uncomfortable and anxious times in the future.

So she breathed a long sigh of relief as if nothing had happened and said to Draco: "By the way, I'll show you something good."

She said, taking out the quick-acting skip-a-school candy.

George and Fred didn't give her much, but she didn't think about using it to evade Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Is this what you got from the twins?"

Draco said with some disgust.

Esther nodded: "Quick-acting truant candy, this is what I use to skip class. It has different flavors and different effects. The one I just ate can make people have nosebleeds, vomit or faint directly. .”

"It sounds interesting."

He took two candies from Esther's hand.

Esther said worriedly: "I gave it to you because I thought you might not want to take the Care of Magical Creatures class. It was used to make you skip class. Don't use it on others casually." "

Draco put the candy into his pocket and said "hmm" as if nothing had happened. He didn't know if he listened to Esther's words.

"Is that all they gave you? Is there anything else?"

he asked seemingly unintentionally.

When he said this, Esther thought of the bottle of perfume that Gemini gave her, which was said to make people happy.

These things had been in her school uniform pocket since yesterday, so she took out the bottle of perfume.

"And this." Esther said: "They say this is a perfume that can make people feel happy after smelling it, and everyone smells it differently."

"Everyone smells different?"

Draco repeated the words.

Esther thought he was questioning the ability of this bottle of perfume, so she said: "I don't know exactly how it is, because I didn't use it yesterday."

As she spoke, she gently pressed the nozzle to spray the perfume into the air.

Not to mention that I felt happy, but it didn't seem to be in any danger.

Esther took a slight sniff, then turned to Draco and asked, "What do you smell?"

Draco said: "Sunshine, daisies, and..."

He suddenly paused and turned to look at Esther, with a complicated expression on his face.

Esther looked at him doubtfully and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He turned his head: "What do you smell?"

Esther sniffed carefully again, and then said: "I seem to smell the sweetness of cream, and Draco, did you wear too much perfume today? The smell is a bit too strong."

None of Esther's family likes to wear perfume, so she doesn't like a person with a strong perfume smell.

When Draco heard the answer, he was a little confused at first: "I didn't..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression widened, as if he had suddenly figured out something, a proud smile appeared on his lips, and his whole person exuded a joyful emotion.

"I knew you..."

He stopped mid-sentence, but he looked really happy.

Esther stared at him doubtfully: "You're a little strange, is this perfume working? Are you suddenly so happy? Why doesn't it work for me?"

Draco swept away the gloom just now, raised his chin slightly, and said in a brisk tone: "Maybe they lied to you, you can find out what the problem is on your own?"

Esther thought she had nothing to do? Why study a bottle of perfume?

With this little time, I might as well study Occlumency and write more potions homework.

"Actually, I don't really want to know what the problem is, it's just a bottle of perfume." Esther said truthfully.

"whatever."

Draco's whole body seemed to be floating now, and he looked really happy.

Is it possible that this magic potion can also be used by people? Or is it because it is a first-generation product, so its performance is unstable?

"By the way, there will be a dance after the Triwizard Tournament starts. Have you prepared a dress?"

He suddenly changed the subject.

Esther answered him: "This is the first time you have asked me this question, Draco. I am not prepared because I am a third-year student, and third-year students are not allowed to attend the dance."

"But you can join if someone invites you." Draco said, "I think you need to prepare one thing."

Esther shrugged nonchalantly: "Just in case of emergency? But I don't think it's necessary."

Although she felt that with her appearance and popularity, she would easily be invited by other senior students, she did not intend to accept the invitation from any of them because she did not like prom.

Unlike many students who are rarely exposed to this kind of dance, due to her family background, Esther has attended many such similar occasions with her family since she was a child.

Perhaps she really inherited her father David's temper. Both father and daughter particularly disliked this kind of atmosphere, and every time they thought about how to leave early.

"I think you need it." Draco suddenly said to her seriously: "Because I will invite you."

Esther:! ! ! ! !

No, what did she hear? ? ?

"Did I hear wrong?" Esther asked in a daze: "Why did you invite me?"

If a Slytherin invited a Hufflepuff, it would shock the entire Hogwarts.

Before Draco could speak, Esther expressed her thoughts first: "You want to repay me because I helped you? Third-year students can't attend the dance, so you want to invite me, let Can I go to the ball together? That's not necessary Draco, as I don't like balls myself."

Hearing her rejection, Draco was unexpectedly not angry. Instead, he looked at her with a look that showed that he had already seen through everything, as if she just wanted to attend the dance, but was embarrassed to say: "Okay, that's it. That’s it, you need to prepare your dress quickly.”

Then he took the bottle of perfume away from her hand: "This thing is a bit dangerous, so don't hold it. I will save it for you."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a good mood.

Esther was left with a head full of questions.

No, what happened?

Why did Draco suddenly lose his character?

She was puzzled.
