He was an extreme pure-blood thinker and had to confirm Ariana's bloodline beforehand to adjust his attitude accordingly.

Draco proudly introduced, "Of course, Ariana is a pureblood. She is my girlfriend and the one you will serve this time. I command you to obey her orders throughout this process."

Kreacher's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he nodded quickly, saying, "Old Kreacher will of course obey Master Malfoy's orders. Please, Miss Ariana, please give Kreacher your orders."

As she said this, she bowed deeply to Ariana, her attitude much more humble than Abby's.

Ariana was a little uncomfortable, but since the other party couldn't stay in Hogwarts for too long, she didn't correct her attitude.

"I believe Madam Malfoy has already told you that I want to borrow the Black family's collection of books. Some of the books contain magical defenses and curses. I plan to make custom gloves for you so that you can hold those books and then put them in a special magic box." Ariana explained.

She took out the box and gloves and carefully explained the magic on them. Without Kreacher's specific values, the magic on them might hurt him.

After listening to Ariana's explanation, Kreacher seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Old Kreacher, can you ask Miss Ariana something?"

Ariana certainly wouldn't refuse a request. She nodded and said, "Is it about these two alchemical items? I can answer any of them. This is what I did."

Kreacher said nervously and excitedly, "Miss Ariana is indeed worthy of being a pure-blood lady. You have already answered Kreacher before he even asked."

Ariana was confused and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Kreacher looked at Ariana, hesitated for a moment, then regained his composure. He nodded and said, "Old Kreacher just wants to ask if these two alchemical items were made by Miss Ariana."

Ariana smiled and said sincerely, "It seems that you like alchemical items. If you want something in the future, you can tell me what you want and I will refine it for you as a reward for helping me borrow books."

It seemed like Kreacher wanted to ask Ariana something, but he hesitated and didn't say it in the end.

"Old Kreacher doesn't want anything now, but he may want something in the future. Can Miss Ariana fulfill her promise in the future?" Kreacher looked at Ariana eagerly.

Draco wanted to scold Kreacher after hearing this, but lovely Lianna stopped him in advance, nodded and said to Kreacher, "Of course, you can come to me anytime to fulfill your promise. If you can't find me, you can also come to Draco. He always knows where I am."

Kreacher saluted very respectfully and said, "Old Kreacher will definitely do his best to cooperate with Miss Ariana."

After asking about the value, Ariana suddenly thought of something and asked Kreacher, "By the way, will Principal Black's portrait be returned to the ancestral home?"

"I will." Kreacher nodded in response.

Ariana asked in confusion, "Didn't he object to my wanting to borrow the book?"

According to the nature of the magic family that values ​​magic resources, the other party should not agree. She thought that Principal Black had not returned to visit the Black family.

Before Kreacher could answer, Draco explained the situation to her, "Although Headmaster Black made everyone uncomfortable during his tenure and was known as the most unpopular headmaster, he is a Slytherin after all, and you are the hope of Slytherin's rise. He can't possibly object."

Phoenix Black was not feeling well as he was constantly being bullied by the principals of other colleges on the wall. If Ariana became the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world, or even the principal of Hogwarts, he would be able to show off.

Ariana complained a little speechlessly: "It's all hung on the wall, and you're still engaging in this kind of vanity comparison. You really are the most unpopular principal."

Draco laughed at this, then shook his head and explained, "He wasn't unpopular because of his personality, but because he forced everyone to adapt to so many rules and etiquette. We Slytherins are quite polite, but even they couldn't stand it, which shows how strict the rules were back then."

Ariana and Kreacher were both very fast. Two hours later, Ariana had modified the values ​​of the magic box and gloves, and Kreacher delivered many magic books in the evening.

After reading all the catalogs, Ariana said to Kreacher thoughtfully, "It seems that you really want me to learn alchemy. At least half of the books in there are about alchemy."

Kreacher replied respectfully, "Whatever type of books Miss Ariana prefers, old Kreacher will just take a few more next time."

Ariana, hearing the hidden meaning in the other party's words, smiled and said jokingly, "It seems that most of them are alchemy books. I just want to supplement my magical knowledge. As long as there are books you haven't read before, you can take them as you like."

After Kreacher left, Ariana was thinking about something with a puzzled look on her face, but Draco had already started complaining.

"I thought Dobby was neurotic enough, but I didn't expect Kreacher to be even more exaggerated. He actually asked for a promise from the pure-blood lady, and it was a permanent exchange." Ariana has only given him such a promise so far.

Patting the jealous Draco, Ariana reminded him, "There must be something wrong with the alchemical item in the Black family. He probably wants me to increase my knowledge in this area. If he can't control that thing in the future, he will probably ask me for help."

This is Ariana's guess.

Chapter 231 I like your proud look

Draco suddenly realized and said, "Ever since Sirius went to Azkaban, there's been no one left at the Black family home. If anything went wrong with a magical item, there really was no one to deal with it. He must have had such a rebellious idea after seeing the magic box and gloves you crafted."

Ariana had noticed Draco's disdain for house-elves, and out of respect she didn't want to interfere too much, but her friend's expression was really unlovely, so she decided to say something.

Ariana thought for a moment and said to Draco, "Draco, I decided to give you a book about revolution."

Making a request directly might affect the relationship between the two, so it would be better to use reform as a starting point to discuss his attitude towards house-elves.

Moreover, Ariana didn't necessarily want Draco to change, she just hoped that he could be a little more restrained and not do some things too obviously to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The topic changed so suddenly that Draco asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Besides, I haven't finished reading a third of the book you gave me before. Why would I want to read a book about revolution? What kind of revolution is this?"

The math, physics and chemistry books Ariana had given him before didn't even cover junior high school content, and there were also medical textbooks that Thompson kept sending him. Not to mention a short time, he might not be able to finish reading them even after graduating from Hogwarts.

Ariana did not mention the books, but continued to turn the topic to reform.

"In fact, the magical world has had two similar revolutionary opportunities, but there are no detailed records in history books. You probably don't know what a revolution is, right?" she asked.

Surprisingly, Draco actually knew about reform. He shook his head and said, "The book you gave me mentioned this word. I took a general look at it and it seems to mean changing the existing system. Is that right?"

In addition to the books Ariana gave him, Draco also recorded a lot of unfamiliar nouns, and then wrote to Thompson, asking him to find relevant auxiliary introductory books for him.

This was Ariana's arrangement because she was impatient to explain too basic things. Because of this, although Draco had never met Thompson, the two of them knew a lot about each other.

Ariana nodded slightly, then asked in a guiding tone, "That's right, but do you know why reform is necessary? Think about the two wars in the wizarding world."

Draco was a little confused. Why were they suddenly talking about reform? But he felt that Ariana would definitely explain the reason, so he was not in a hurry.

After a brief thought, Draco recalled, "My family education taught me something about these two wars. They were probably for the benefit of wizards, right? The first time, Grindelwald wanted to rule over Muggles, control their population, slow down their development, and allow wizards to dominate over Muggles. As for You-Know-Who's latest war, it seems his goal was to expel Muggle wizards."

In the past, Draco would have been very sure of this statement, but influenced by Ariana, he was not so sure now, because he found that there was some shadow of a magic family behind the mysterious man's actions.

And the magical families are secretly supporting capable half-bloods and even Muggle wizards. If this is the case, it seems that the purpose cannot simply be to expel Muggle wizards.

It can only be said that the mysterious man's political program is a bit vague. Later, he even tended to pursue immortality and neglected the management of the team.

After hearing Draco's analysis, Ariana nodded and said with a smile, "No matter what their reform slogans were, the reason they failed was the same: they were harsh, even cruel, to most people. As a result, they were opposed by the majority, and ultimately failed."

There must be more than one reason. Ariana just wanted to guide Draco, so naturally he would choose the answer he wanted.

Draco scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What do you want to say?"

He was almost completely confused by Ariana.

With all this preparation, Ariana finally got to the point and said seriously, "I'm saying that you can be a little cooler towards house-elves, but don't show any harsh expressions or say bad things. I don't know what their relationship is to goblins, but you also know that goblins have rebelled three times."

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This is almost always the cause of reform. Ariana is not opposed to reform, but she does not want to be the one being reformed.

Draco must know the history of goblin rebellions. Although Professor Binns's lectures are drowsy, he still marks the key points for the exams. These three goblin rebellions are the focus of the exams.

Draco looked at Ariana and pointed out helplessly: "After all, this is your new request, right?"

Ariana had mentioned before that we should not look down on Muggle wizards, but I didn’t expect that now even house-elves are not allowed to do so.

Ariana nodded in agreement and then explained why she asked for it.

"I just think that the contempt you show towards the house-elves is a little unpleasant. I like your pride, but I don't like you showing such a mean look to others."

They are best friends, so of course Ariana can say whatever she thinks. She didn't say it directly just now, but was just paying attention to the way and method.

With the topic of reform as a prelude, Draco really didn't care. He looked at Ariana with amusement and said, "Of course I can promise you. Didn't we agree? Just raise any requests we have to each other. It's not that difficult to do. Why do you still have to bring up the topic of reform?"

He still didn't understand why Ariana went through so much trouble.

Of course, Ariana wouldn't tell Draco directly, as the lack of any preparation would make him unhappy.

She spread her hands and said casually, "Because I want to change the atmosphere at Hogwarts, which is actually a form of reform. I don't want my best friend to show contempt for others and then let others stand against us. I would feel very worthless."

Making enemies with just a few expressions is ridiculous no matter how you think about it.

Draco nodded and agreed without hesitation: "You're right. If I don't pay attention next time, just remind me. Actually, I wasn't like this at the beginning. It was my dad who told me not to be so polite to house elves and even forbade me to smile at them."

When they were young, Lucius asked Draco to be polite and civilized, but he couldn't tell who he should be like that to, so he just treated everyone like that.

But when Draco thanked the elves or was nice to them, his father would start correcting him, and gradually he got used to it.

Chapter 232 She directly used disgusting metaphors

Ariana couldn't help but curse Lucius in her heart. Such an obedient son, not only did he not teach him well, but he also messed up Draco's education.

She complained speechlessly: "In the end, it's all your dad's fault. From now on, you should listen to me and not him."

Draco raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a doting smile that he himself didn't even know about. He nodded and said, "No need for later. Now, if your opinion differs from his, I will listen to you."

Ariana nodded in satisfaction, but still stated, "You can't just listen to me. You have to gather information from all sides and make your own judgment. After all, I'm not a god, and my decisions aren't always right. Sometimes I'm too impulsive, and I need you to hold me back."

This has happened more than once or twice. Ariana is aware of her problems. When she gets too carried away, she doesn't think about the consequences.

Draco patted his chest and immediately promised, "Okay, I will definitely collect more information in the future, learn to make my own judgments, and hold you back when you act impulsively."

The elimination round will start with the first grade, and then the second grade will take turns. The elimination round for all grades can be completed before the holiday.

Although Ariana and Snape agreed to duel on the last day before the holiday, it was impossible for them to go on the last day.

With the experience of dueling with Professor Flitwick last time, Snape paid special attention to the Weasley twins who loved to go near the Forbidden Forest, and planned to ask Ariana to duel with them when they were punished.

Although Ariana is already recognized as a strong person in Hogwarts, it would not be good if the professor dueled with a first-year wizard.

Hearing that Snape had scheduled a duel today, Ariana asked in confusion, "Why did the professor ask me to duel so early?"

Even though it's not the last day, there's still a lot of time left, mainly because Ariana has several magic applications that have not been verified yet.

Snape had an indifferent expression and said calmly, "Holiday is approaching. Professor McGonagall won't punish the twins easily unless they make a huge mistake. This may be the only chance before the holiday."

Even in the wizarding world, professors know that when students go home, their parents will question them about their studies at school, including their performance, and they don't want their young wizards to be overly criticized by their parents.

Hearing about the Weasley twins, Ariana remembered what she had heard and asked curiously, "I heard they caused an explosion in an abandoned classroom and made Longbottom cry. What exactly happened?"

Because the holidays were coming up, Ariana spent more time on her magic research and didn't usually inquire about these gossips.

Draco, who had his hands tucked into his pockets, opened them when he heard this. He smiled and said, "I know about this. They took Longbottom's memory ball for research, saying it was guaranteed to be flawless, but something went wrong. It accidentally exploded. Longbottom paid a favor to get you to modify it, so he can't ask you to do it again. That's why he started crying."

Draco used to tell Ariana this news, but she was too busy recently and he had no chance to tell her.

Ariana smiled when she heard this, and said excitedly: "It's not impossible. It's a favor, the more the better."

It’s better to keep it when you don’t need it than to have it when you need it.

Draco shook his head, dismissing Ariana's fantasy. He explained, "That's hopeless, because the Weasley twins act as Longbottom's reminders. Even without the Remembrane, Longbottom hasn't forgotten anything. The Weasley twins still have to obey Professor McGonagall's punishment of compulsory labor, but there are no points deducted."

After saying this, Draco's face still showed a trace of indignation. Not only did the explosion destroy the classmates' belongings, but the classroom also needed maintenance. He should have been deducted 50 points.

Seeing Draco looking unhappy, Ariana knew what he was up to and said jokingly, "Don't dwell on Gryffindor losing points all the time. How many points do they have now? I guess the others are too embarrassed to mention the point deduction. It's really pitiful."

After Gryffindor had all its points deducted last time, Hermione frantically added points. Not only was Slytherin unhappy, but the other two houses were also unhappy. Then someone maliciously competed with her in answering questions, regardless of whether the answers were right or wrong.

In order to maintain discipline, the professors directly stated that they would only call on questions and that those who took the initiative to answer would not receive extra points.

Although he still takes better care of Gryffindor, it's not that exaggerated.

Gryffindor now has only 46 points, and this is the result of the joint efforts of the entire college. It can be said that this score is the lowest record in the history of Hogwarts.

On the way to the Forbidden Forest, Snape was unwilling to join in such childish conversation. Only Ariana and Draco talked and laughed. Suddenly, he thought of the last time Dumbledore went to watch the battle.

Ariana walked quickly to Snape and said hopefully, "Is the Whitebeard Principal going to show up suddenly this time?"

Seeing that Snape ignored her, Ariana immediately understood what he meant. Even if the old bee didn't show up, he would definitely be watching the fight nearby.

Looking at the calm Snape, Ariana said dissatisfiedly: "Professor, don't you have any solution?"

Snape glanced at her and said coldly, "Think of a solution for me, and I will execute it for you immediately."

Ariana was choked by this and said a little indignantly, "Well, he just relies on the fact that no one in the entire wizarding world can do anything to him? How is this different from breaking into someone's house and peeping at them taking a shower?"

She used disgusting metaphors directly and said them very loudly, and her intentions were very obvious.

Snape, who understood the brat's thoughts, twitched his lips slightly and said to her speechlessly, "Even if he peeks at someone taking a bath, the victim can't do anything to him."

He subconsciously raised his voice, showing that he also wanted to disgust the old bee.

Looking at Snape who also said the same thing, Ariana tried hard not to laugh. After a while, she commented, "The wizarding world is really too backward. There is no sense of law at all, whether it is human or ghost."

Not only can people peek at people taking a bath without being held responsible, but ghosts can also peek without restraint.

When Draco heard this, he immediately interrupted and said, "I have to learn the Ghost Repelling Charm before fifth year, otherwise Myrtle will definitely see me taking a bath."

He was serious. With his beauty and the level of this Slytherin class, he would definitely be the prefect. Wouldn't that be like walking into a tiger's mouth?

Looking at Draco with a frown on his face, Ariana teased him with a smile, "Draco, you really have too low expectations of yourself. You're getting more and more beautiful. Maybe next year Myrtle won't be able to resist making a move on you. Maybe she'd rather endure the fat of Goyle and Crabbe than go to the public bathroom to peek at you."

Chapter 233 Now he is also being suppressed

Because Farley said that Myrtle likes to watch good-looking boys taking a bath, and she doesn't want to see ugly boys, so she won't go to the public bathroom.

Maybe he had a psychological trauma. Even though he knew this situation, Draco would still grab his two bodyguards to take him with him when taking a shower, completely treating them as objects to ward off evil spirits.
