HP: I'm not going to rule the wizarding world

Hermione also frowned and asked, "Why do you always try to misinterpret what I mean?"

Ariana said seriously, "Granger, I'm not misinterpreting your meaning. You're standing on the side of Gryffindor and demanding that I obey you in everything. Not only you, but the entire Gryffindor family demands the same of others, but they just don't say it out loud. This is the most fundamental contradiction between the two houses."

Gryffindor pursues bravery and fearlessness, while Slytherin is shrewd and calm. There is an essential difference in their values. Moreover, there have been years of feuds and casualties in the war, and the contradictions have long been irreconcilable.

Seeing Hermione defeated, Harry could only stand beside her helplessly and said to Ariana: "If you are still angry about what happened that day, I can apologize again."

After all, he was still a child, and apologizing was the only solution Harry could think of.

The lovely Lianna was looking at the problem from an adult's perspective, and she certainly wouldn't accept such a frivolous apology.

"I am indeed angry, but I can't let go of my anger just because of a few apologies from the savior. Take, for example, the generations-long feud between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Ask them, will they let go of their feud just because of a few words of mediation from the savior?" She mentioned the settlement of the war.

Seeing the atmosphere growing tense, Wood quickly said, "Let's just play."

They really can't force Ariana to not play. They said that just now just to try it.

Although this verbal exchange did not lead to a conflict, it still made the people present feel unbalanced.

After Harry came on the court, he made many mistakes and finally lost to Ariana's substitute and failed to grab the golden fly ball.

On the way back to the castle after the game, Draco looked at Ariana and said with a smile: "It seems that you can't talk to the headmaster of Gryffindor in the future, and you can't talk to the great savior, otherwise it will affect your mood."

He wanted to say something to cheer Ariana up, and suddenly casting a spell seemed a bit abrupt.

Ariana was amused by Draco and shook her head and said, "I find that you are quite similar to your father in this respect. You are very protective of the things or people you care about, and you can't wait to create a safe cocoon for them."

She recently discovered that Draco was paying special attention to his emotions. Although it was heartwarming, she was also worried that he would feel annoyed. After all, no one likes negative people.

Draco scratched his head and said, "I was afraid you would be unhappy."

Ariana shook her head and looked at Draco sincerely and said, "I'm not unhappy about what he said. Besides, I feel happy to be with you."

This did not make Draco happy. Apart from magic, he was the most interesting person in Hogwarts.

Draco looked at Ariana and said with a smile: "You should say it's a blessing to have you."

Since it would seem awkward to say it proactively, let Ariana say it.

Ariana chuckled, nodded, and said, "Well, thank goodness you're here."

Luck might just be a matter of ups and downs. The next day in the Great Hall, Draco held the letter and excitedly said to Ariana, "Goyle and the Crabbe family wrote back to me. There are also some documents containing records, which should all be about the Philosopher's Stone."

He had thought this method would be useful before, but it had not been put into practice yet. Now he was not bragging to Ariana.

Seeing that Draco hadn't finished reading the letter, Ariana reminded him: "Read the contents of the letter first."

Draco opened the letter and after reading it, he said, "They probably didn't get through to my father via correspondence. Not only did they send me all their family records about the Philosopher's Stone, they also praised the Malfoy family's excellent way of training an heir."

In order to write this letter, Draco even consulted senior Farley. After all, she was older and must have experience in this area.

With the guidance of an expert, Draco's letter was official and majestic, without any flaws.

There was more surprises than this. Before he could open the documents, another owl delivered a letter to Draco.

"This is a letter from Dobby," Draco said.

Ariana remembered that Draco said this was his house-elf, and asked the elf to ask his grandfather about the Philosopher's Stone.

"See what it says?" Compared to the Goyles and Crabs, the Malfoys might know more.

Draco frowned after reading the letter and said to Ariana, "My grandfather said that the Philosopher's Stone is an item of dark magic. Although no one knows the principle behind its creation, it is basically certain that it can absorb a person's vitality during its creation, and it can still do so now."

He found the news shocking, and now he suspected, as Ariana had, that Nicolas Flamel was the dark wizard.

After hearing this news, Ariana snorted coldly, "Dumbledore didn't tell me about this at the time, and he even said he would be honest with me. You know him better. He won't change his attitude towards me at all. And after what happened that day, it will probably get even worse."

If she and Dumbledore could have eased their relationship before, it was basically impossible after the conversation by the Black Lake.

Accordingly, she no longer had much hope of studying the Philosopher's Stone.

Seeing Ariana's disappointment, Draco felt very sad, so he smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, from now on, whatever you want to know, I will help you find it, and whatever you want, I will find a way to help you find it, you don't have to ask anyone for help."

His best friend should be unbridled.

Ariana looked at Draco who was racking his brains to comfort her and said with emotion: "I will definitely use the most magic in the future because I am lucky to have you."

Draco laughed when he heard this, and then said proudly: "Isn't this a matter of course?"

Anyway, this magic doesn't consume any magic power, and they will be together for the rest of their lives, so they can use it as many times as they want.

Ariana and Draco go to bed at 11 o'clock every day. Even if they go to do experiments, they will usually return to the Slytherin common room before 9:30. They will not sleep at this time, so both of them will be busy with other things here.

That night, Blaise hurried back to the lounge at the last minute of curfew and immediately found himself in Draco and Ariana's exclusive territory.

"Draco, I've heard the latest information. Longbottom has learned the Shield Charm. It's said that even the Savior's Disarming Charm can't penetrate his defense." He said this with a gloating smile on his face.

Draco knew exactly what Blaise was thinking. He leaned back on the sofa and asked casually, "Blaise, what do you want me to do?"

It can be said that Draco's posture has a bit of Ariana's shadow. She usually looks so nonchalant, but her aura is very strong.

Chapter 223 Are you coming to my house?

Seeing Draco's calm expression, Blaise asked curiously, "It seems you're not worried about Longbottom's Shield Charm. Could it be that Colin has taught you some new fighting methods?"

Then his eyes met Ariana who was fiddling with alchemical materials. Unfortunately, she didn't even raise her head. It might be that she was in the critical moment of making the item and it was not convenient to be distracted by talking.

Draco raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Are you envious of Ariana helping me train, or do you want to see Slytherin's Malfoy lose to Gryffindor?"

It's no wonder Draco was angry. All the Gryffindors were helping Neville practice the Shield Charm, but his own classmates were just gloating. Only Ariana was bothering to help.

Upon hearing this accusation, Blaise quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course I don't want to see Slytherin lose to Gryffindor. Isn't this just me helping you gather intelligence? Are you confident in this match?"

From Slytherin's perspective, he certainly hoped that Draco would win.

Seeing Blaise give in, Draco stopped harassing him and said confidently, "Of course, even if it's Longbottom who was treated as a Squib, even if it's the great savior of Gryffindor, I wouldn't take him seriously."

Ever since Ariana said that Draco could beat everyone in the first grade, he seemed to be filled with infinite confidence and now he is not afraid of anyone.

Blaise didn't dare to provoke Draco anymore. He smiled stiffly and said, "Okay, I'll get more information for you."

After saying that, he ran back to the dormitory, obviously not to inquire about the news.

Ariana wasn't deaf, of course she could hear the two elementary school kids spitting at each other, but she just didn't finish the work at hand, so she didn't say anything.

Putting down a glove, she smiled at Draco and said, "It seems your quarreling skills have improved. You just talked Blaise away."

Draco was also quite surprised that Blaise had fled. He scratched his head and said, "This is the first time. Blaise and I used to argue with each other a lot, and I usually lost to him verbally."

If you want to win, you can only use your family background to suppress the opponent, but it doesn't work every time, after all, the Brace family is not financially low.

Ariana reaffirmed Draco and said, "Whether it's Quidditch, dueling skills, or magical research, you've even improved your quarreling skills. That's very good."

Although the young master is still often complacent, his rational complacency is much more adorable now, compared to his previous slightly mean attitude.

Draco was a little embarrassed. In order to change the subject, he looked at what Ariana was holding and asked curiously, "What is this? I saw you fiddling with it for a long time."

Ariana picked up the magic box and gloves next to her and explained, "This is a modified magic box that can block many defensive spells, even curses. And these gloves have a similar effect. Now everything is ready. We're just waiting for a reply from your mother. I hope she's not racking her brains to come up with a reason to refuse you."

Draco thought for a moment and said, "Then I have to write another letter to my mother, telling her that if she refuses again, I will be very angry and will not go home during the Christmas holidays."

It seems that this method of threat is not only effective against his father, but will be more effective against his mother.

Ariana believed it, her eyes lit up, and she said hopefully, "Then will you come to my house? I can hire the best chef, and we can even travel around other European countries."

Compared to going to other people's territory, Ariana obviously prefers others to come to her territory. The reason why she is willing to go to other people's homes on Christmas is mainly because she doesn't want to be alone that day.

Seeing Ariana's enthusiasm, Draco was frightened. He said hesitantly, "How about we wait for my mother's reply first? Christmas is a holiday to spend with family after all. If she doesn't reject me, maybe we can go to your house during the summer vacation."

As Ariana's best friend, Draco knew that she was the kind of person who would do what she thought. He was just saying that, hoping that she wouldn't really not go home for Christmas.

Ariana didn't force it, nodded and said, "No problem."

I can't bring Draco home for Christmas this year, so I'll just have to wait for the next chance. Not to mention that if we immigrate to the United States in the future, he'll have to spend the holiday with me.

Hearing Ariana compromise so easily, Draco was filled with surprise and asked doubtfully, "I didn't expect you to agree so readily. This is really unlike you."

He had originally planned to spend some time trying to dissuade Ariana from her idea, but he didn't expect that it would be of no use at all.

Ariana spread her hands and said with a relaxed expression, "I already agreed to spend Christmas at your house. There's no need to agree or disagree. Besides, we're just going to your house for the holiday. You have to come to my house afterward. Don't you still want to go to the amusement park in London?"

In addition to traveling, summer study arrangements must also be finalized during the Christmas period.

Some things require Draco's presence, such as meeting with the directors of the medical school. After all, he has to go for an internship, and he cannot fail to go for the interview.

Draco smiled awkwardly: "That's right, we have too many agreements. I remember this and forget that."

They had a lot to do, including spending Christmas at the Malfoys' house, then going to the London Amusement Park, and staying in the villa worth more than 10 million pounds for a few days.

Ariana raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "It's okay, I remember it all."

In fact, there is no need to deliberately remember these things. When two people are together, they always make many promises. Just fulfill whatever you think of. Anyway, the process is very happy.

As the holidays approached, it seemed that Draco was not the only one looking forward to the holiday arrangements. After the experiment, Snape suddenly asked Ariana calmly, "What are your plans for Christmas?"

Since he had promised Dumbledore to keep an eye on Ariana, Snape naturally paid attention to her movements. He even knew everything she said, so he knew she was going to the Malfoy house.

He asked this in the hope that Ariana would give up the idea.

Ariana knew Snape was paying attention to her, so she said with a half-smile, "I don't believe that the professor hasn't found out about my Christmas plans. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Although the black bat was asking about her situation, Lianna knew that, given his unsociable nature, he probably wanted to deal with Dumbledore.

Snape frowned and said in a firm tone: "It's best not to spend Christmas at the Malfoy family."

Before Ariana could respond, Draco, who was doing an autopsy experiment, immediately jumped out and said speechlessly: "Professor, the heir of the Malfoy family is still here."

Chapter 224 Will definitely agree to duel with me

Draco felt that his godfather didn't take him seriously enough, right?

Snape's eyes sternly looked at him and said, "Draco, you are not allowed to interrupt until I finish talking to Colin about this topic. This is a godfather's request."

If Draco interrupted, he would probably bring up those cheesy topics again. The two of them would look at each other and smile foolishly from time to time, which was why Snape was always worried about whether they were really in love.

If you say they didn't talk, the two of them would be very close, but if you say they did talk, it seems like something is missing.

Hearing Snape's request, Draco said angrily: "Godfather, you are asking my girlfriend not to come to my house for Christmas and asking me to shut up. Don't you think it's a bit too much?"

Since the other party made the request as godfather, Draco no longer called him professor.

Snape snorted coldly and said mercilessly, "If you don't want to acknowledge me as your godfather in the future, or even don't want to come to my office to do experiments, then you can interrupt me. I remember very clearly that I only agreed to cooperate with Colin on the experiment of magic storage, but I have no obligation to provide you with that kind of bloody experimental environment."

Although the experiments on both sides are quite bloody, Draco's experiments are not only bloody, but sometimes disgusting. After all, he and Ariana only study the brain, while Draco also studies the large intestine and the like.

Ariana gave Draco a reassuring look, then smiled and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you. Just watch how I use words to shut your godfather up."

She actually made Draco shut up. Later she would make Snape taste the feeling of shutting up too.

Snape ignored the eye contact between Ariana and Draco, his face full of disdain as he said coldly, "Foolish little troll, if you go to the Malfoys for Christmas, you'll inevitably come into contact with the heads of other families. Have you considered Dumbledore's ability to bear it?"

Upon hearing this, Ariana said with disdain, "Just because he's the most powerful white wizard in the magical world, everyone else has to consider his attitude in everything they do?"

Snape cares too much about Dumbledore. Is he used to being enslaved?

Seeing that Ariana wasn't paying attention to the real problem, Snape calmed down a bit and said slowly, "Not everyone, just a few people he felt were a threat. Before you entered the wizarding world, only two Dark Lords were taken seriously by him."

Ariana smiled mockingly at the words and said speechlessly, "Now you have a backup for the Dark Lord, right?"

It’s ok that he keeps on supervising students at school, but he also has to supervise them during holidays. Why doesn’t he become a Pacific police officer?

Seeing that Ariana understood, Snape nodded with satisfaction, then said seriously, "Until you have absolute strength to contend with him, don't do anything that crosses his bottom line. If he doesn't want to tolerate you anymore, you won't even have the chance to grow."

Whether it was the mysterious man's side or Dumbledore's side, Snape felt that the shortcomings were too obvious. No matter which side became the final winner, it would not be too friendly to the magical world.

He still hopes that this little kid can grow up. She is radical but has a bottom line. It can be said that she has the advantages of both the black and white devils.

Ariana's focus was still on Dumbledore. After hearing Snape's words, she said nonchalantly, "Then how can the professor determine how low his bottom line is?"

Snape heard the implication of Ariana's words, but he was not sure, so he asked: "What do you want to say?"

A sly look flashed in Ariana's eyes, and she said nonchalantly, "I think we should not speculate, but do a specific test to see if the head of the magic family can't help but attack me if I approach him."

Snape's eyes were filled with worry as he asked, "What if?"

Ariana wasn't as angry as before, but said nonchalantly, "That's what I deserved to be beaten to death by him, because I refused to back down, even for my own safety. Of course, my life is still very important. Although I can't compete with him, it's not that difficult to escape."

It is precisely because of this confidence that she can act so calmly.

Snape really couldn't do anything about this little brat. He stared at her and asked, "There's obviously a better way to go. Why don't you keep a low profile?"

This kid is only 11 years old. Why doesn’t he start developing slowly? Wouldn’t it be more advantageous to wait until he graduates and leaves Hogwarts before developing?

Ariana wouldn't compromise her present self for the sake of her future. With a determined look in her eyes, she said, "I'm just such a high-profile person. This is my personality, and it's also reflected in my magic. If I change, it's very likely that my magic properties will also change. By then, I won't even be qualified to be a strong person."
