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

Draco looked at Ariana speechlessly and complained, "I'm the one who's worried about how to get to your house. I've never been to the Muggle world."

Ariana just didn't know what means of transportation to choose. She simply didn't know the way, and she had to cross the border. Ariana had been in the magic world for at least half a year.

Looking at Ariana's matter-of-fact expression, Draco wanted to complain even more. Did his best friend forget that he was going to the Muggle world, didn't know the Muggle way, and had never dealt with Muggles before?

Ariana responded to this question as if it were a matter of course: "It's easy to go to my house. When you come out of the train station, I'll pick you up there."

The pure-blooded little wizard also had to get off at a London subway station. Even if Draco didn't know which platform to exit from, Ariana could just point it out to him when he got off.

Draco's eyes lit up when he heard Ariana's arrangement, and he said excitedly: "If that's the case, then I can bring the door key to find you, and then we can use the door key to go to my house."

The problem was solved in no time. Ariana gave Draco a thumbs up and said with a smile, "The traffic has also been perfectly solved."

While others have their parents to pick them up during holidays, Ariana only has a lawyer. However, her treatment is not bad either. After all, Thompson almost treats her like a queen.

But others were unaware of this situation. When they were getting on the train at Hogsmore Village, Hermione suddenly came over to Ariana and said, "Colin, my dad is here to pick me up. We can take you home on the way."

Ariana frowned in confusion when she heard that and asked in confusion, "Why should I ask you to give me a ride? My lawyer will come to pick me up."

Hearing this answer, Hermione frowned and said seriously, "Professor McGonagall clearly stated that only the young wizard's immediate family members could know about the existence of Hogwarts. How could you notify your lawyer to come pick you up?"

In this case, Ariana has definitely violated the confidentiality law, but she actually said it bluntly in such an occasion.

Hearing Hermione's meaning, Ariana spread her hands and said nonchalantly, "I didn't tell him about Hogwarts. I just said I came to Scotland to attend a private technical school. Now that it's vacation, I told him to come and pick me up. I don't think there's any problem."

Ariana's attitude was quite cold, but unfortunately this involved a matter of principle, and Hermione was stubborn and refused to give up.

Hermione blocked Ariana's way and asked, "Then how did you inform him?"

Ariana didn't know how Hermione dared to stop her. Was it because she thought she wasn't allowed to use her wand during the holidays, so she became bolder?

"Use an owl, of course," she said with a half-smile.

Hearing the answer she had guessed, Hermione said anxiously, "But if you use an owl to notify your lawyer, isn't that the same as letting him know that Hogwarts is a school of magic?"

Ariana crossed her arms, looked at her with disdain, and said sarcastically, "I didn't provide any information about the magic school. I only told him that it was a school for superpowers, personally funded by the Queen. Can he actually go and question the Queen in person?"

Moreover, he and Draco had sent so many owl letters to Thompson. If they had really violated the Statute of Secrecy, Dumbledore would have intervened long ago.

No one has raised this question so far. Ariana looked at Hermione with such contempt, and the meaning was very clear: the professor doesn't care, so how can you, a little wizard, take care of it?

Chapter 239 Forced myself to smile

Hermione was stuck in a rut, frowning, but still insisted, "Lying is wrong."

Before Ariana could lower her hand to deal with Hermione, telling her to shut up and get out of the way, Draco jumped out and roared sarcastically, "Mind your own business. If you really have the leisure to do so, then take care of your two little followers."

Harry was a little upset by Draco's previous taunts, and Ron was with him, so no one thought of sending Hermione away.

Besides, they were already at the Hogsmeade train station, and it was impossible for them to get here.

Hermione's face flushed red after being yelled at, and many people looked over. She could only force herself to say, "I'm doing this for Colin's own good. Breaking the law is no joke."

Draco curled his lips in disdain and said sarcastically, "Don't you feel tired of meddling in other people's affairs all the time? It will also make others dislike you. Didn't you want to ask Ariana before why no one likes you? This is why. There are boundaries between people, especially in a relationship like ours where we are in opposition."

There were so many things Draco disliked about Hermione, the first of which was her meddling in other people's affairs. Not only did he not care enough about Gryffindor, he even meddled in Slytherin's affairs.

Without waiting for Hermione to retort, Draco pushed her away and took Ariana onto the train, completely ignoring her eyes that were red with anger behind her.

But no one knew that because of Draco's interruption, a magical conflict was avoided invisibly.

The Ministry of Magic only stipulates that young wizards are not allowed to use wands outside of school. The lovely Lianna does not necessarily need to use a wand, after all, her opponent is just a young wizard like Hermione.

Children from pure-blood families basically gathered together. Draco had an exclusive compartment on the train, so of course he took Ariana directly to his compartment.

Soon Pansy, Blaise and the others came too.

Looking at Ariana, Pansy remembered something and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Colin, I heard from Draco that you are inviting students to visit your two million dollar estate during the summer vacation. I wonder if I have the honor?"

Although the two were roommates, they didn't communicate much. After all, Ariana only returned to the dormitory at bedtime, and Pansy was already asleep at that time. Usually, Ariana stayed with Draco.

Although their relationship was not very close, they were roommates after all, and Ariana didn't mind this slightly mean classmate coming to her house.

She said nonchalantly, "Anyone who wants to go can go. If you can refrain from using magic for a while, I can even take you on a tour of London. Ed Villa is in the southern suburbs of London, not far from the city."

Seeing that Ariana's answer was impeccable, Pansy could only continue to ask: "How are you going to the Malfoy family's Christmas ball?"

Ariana now understood Pansy's intention. She said a little forcefully, "Draco will come to pick me up with the portkey. It will be convenient when my house has a magic fireplace."

Draco frowned slightly at Pansy's questioning tone, but before he could get angry, the conversation was interrupted by Blaise's questioning.

Unlike Pansy who asked about the situation in the villa, Blaise asked about information about the Muggle world. Mainly because he heard Draco bragging about going to London to play, and he didn't want to fall too far behind Draco, but he didn't dare to go to London alone.

Not only did Ariana understand Blaise's intention, but Draco also understood it. The two of them became more and more in sync, and no one said a word.

After all, neither of them was impatient to have a third wheel at Hogwarts, let alone leave the school.

And Ariana had absolutely no time. If it weren't for Draco, she would never waste time entertaining her classmates.

Not only did Pansy question Ariana's ancestry, but after getting off the train, when Ariana followed Draco to say hello to his parents, Narcissa, who met her for the first time, also questioned her ancestry.

"I heard that Miss Colin's parents left a vault for you in Gringotts. Doesn't this vault have a surname named after it?" Narcissa looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

Not only was Narcissa's fake smile so obvious, but her attitude was also so sharp. If Ariana couldn't see that she was being targeted, then all her psychology training would be in vain.

Ariana narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a smile, "What does Madam want to say?"

Narcissa adjusted her sleeves gracefully and said bluntly, "I heard that Miss Colin's last name is not your parents'. Gringotts has a rule that purebloods over three generations can name their vaults."

What this means is that even if Ariana is a pure-blood, she is not more than three generations old, and the magical world knows the Malfoy family's criteria for choosing a mistress.

Thinking of Draco's previous hint, Ariana curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, and asked deliberately sarcastically, "That means even if I am a pure-blood, it is not more than three generations. And the Malfoy family must choose a mistress who is more than three generations of pure-blood. Is your wife going to oppose my relationship with Draco?"

It would be better to make a fuss, maybe Draco would be willing to go home with her. Compared to her family, she seemed much more pitiful alone. Ariana felt that Draco would definitely choose her.

Before Narcissa could answer, Draco grabbed Ariana's hand, looked at his mother firmly, and declared, "Ariana is my girlfriend, Mom. If you object, then I will go home with Ariana now and spend Christmas at her house."

Draco was very confused. He had repeatedly told them in the letter not to target Ariana. What was wrong with his mother?

Hearing the consequence she feared most, Narcissa's face turned pale. She took a deep breath and forced herself to smile.

"Mom doesn't care about bloodline as much as your dad does. And as I said just now, pure-bloods over three generations can name their own vaults, but it's not a must. Maybe it's for the sake of confidentiality that Miss Colin's parents didn't name the vault." In order to win back her son's heart, Narcissa could only speak for Ariana.

Seeing that her plan to sow discord had failed, Ariana was a little disappointed. Why couldn't Narcissa be a little tougher? Then she could decorate her house for Christmas this year.

Ariana is not a pure-blood after all, and this fact will be made public sooner or later. Seeing Draco's tough attitude, she felt it necessary to test Draco's bottom line.

Looking at Narcissa, Ariana said provocatively, "I have memories since I was three months old, but I've never seen my parents. Maybe they really aren't purebloods for more than three generations, or even purebloods at all."

In fact, the definition of pure-blood is not very accurate. For example, Harry, his parents are both wizards, and he can actually be considered a pure-blood. However, because Lily is of pure Muggle origin, the magical family still classifies Harry as a half-blood.

Hearing Ariana say this, Draco thought she was angry, so he took her hand and immediately walked in the direction where Hermione had just disappeared, pretending to go to her house.

Chapter 240 Whether You Are Pureblood or Not

Draco deliberately said loudly: "My parents are just trying to coax me. They didn't sincerely invite you to spend Christmas with us. I promised you that I would spend Christmas with you, so I will go to your house."

Lucius quickly stepped forward and gently persuaded him, "Xiaolong, your mother didn't mean that. Whether it's me or her, when have we ever failed to fulfill our promises to you?"

Seeing his plan succeed, Draco stopped along the stairs, but still asked, "Are you really inviting Ariana?"

In this situation, Lucius could only nod and said righteously, "Of course it's a sincere invitation. You are the heir of the Malfoy family. If you go back on your word, what will others think of you?"

Draco finally felt relieved since his family's reputation was at stake. However, thinking of his mother's outrageous actions, he asked again, "So, Mom won't question Ariana's bloodline anymore?"

Before Lucius and Narcissa could exchange glances and confirm each other's attitudes, Ariana sighed softly and deliberately said, "Draco, the only thing that can prove my bloodline right now is a Gringotts key. It's normal for your mother to be suspicious. Otherwise, I'd better not go to your house for Christmas. Although the Thompson family has been afraid of me over the years, they have never rejected me."

Hearing Ariana's poor words about him, Draco became even more resolute and promised: "From now on, you don't have to spend Christmas with your subordinates anymore, because you have me as your boyfriend."

Ariana was not willing to give up until her goal was achieved. She shook her head helplessly and said, "But your parents and you are all bloodline defenders. After all, I don't have absolute evidence to prove my bloodline."

If this test didn't work, Ariana would have given up. After all, there was still a long way to go, and fortunately Draco had never let her down.

Draco looked at Ariana with a firm gaze and said seriously, "Whether you are a pure-blood or not, you are Ariana, you are my girlfriend, and this is an unchangeable fact."

His original intention of becoming friends with Ariana was indeed because he thought she was pure-blood, but now that the two of them have been through so much, why would they still worry about the issue of bloodline?

And with Ariana's current strength, she is completely above everything, including her bloodline.

The Malfoys naturally knew that Draco did it on purpose, but if they really went against his wishes, he might really go home with Ariana.

Since this result is unacceptable, concessions are inevitable.

Narcissa stepped forward and said to Ariana with an apologetic look on her face, "Miss Colin, I apologize for what I said just now. Xiaolong is right. Regardless of whether you are a pure-blood or not, you are already his girlfriend. If we refuse you from spending Christmas with us because of this, how will others view the Malfoy family? And how will they view Xiaolong?"

Looking at Draco who was trying hard to maintain his attitude, Ariana had no choice but to compromise.

She said to Narcissa very politely, "Thank you very much for Mrs. Malfoy's invitation. I sincerely accept your apology. I hope this little conflict will not affect our future relationship."

Narcissa smiled politely and replied, "Not at all."

Because she needed to show Draco the way, Ariana asked Lucius and his wife to wait for a moment, and then took Draco to the magic wall.

She patted the wall gently and said to Draco, "This wall is enchanted. As long as there is magic power, you won't hit it. If you don't want to hit it, let's agree on a specific time. Then I'll hit the wall and come in to find you."

Previously, in order to tease Thompson, Ariana hit the wall without thinking much. Now thinking about it, this behavior was quite stupid.

At Draco's age, he was curious about everything, especially since he had overcome the pride of his bloodline, so he naturally didn't mind being looked at strangely.

At this moment, his eyes revealed a hint of excitement, and he said with a smile: "I really want to experience it, why not try it now?"

Ariana asked Draco to look back at his parents and reminded him, "I think you'd better not challenge your parents' tolerance. They are about to collapse now."

Draco looked back at his parents and found that although they showed no signs of collapse, their smiles were very forced.

Thinking of Ariana's previous guidance, Draco hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "Like you told me, everything has a first time, and they will always get used to it in the future."

Ariana lives in the Muggle world, and he will definitely pass by here often in the future. Will his parents be scared every time?

Since her friend had already made up his mind, Ariana naturally stopped trying to dissuade him. She patted Draco on the shoulder and said, "Very good. Come on, I'll take you out and then back in so you can get familiar with the process."

Draco nodded, and the two of them walked hand in hand into the wall and then walked outside.

Looking at the busy train station, Draco felt a little nervous and unconsciously held his good friend's hand tightly.

There were simply not so many people in the wizarding world, and these were all Muggles. Even though he knew they posed no threat, their sheer number caused Draco to experience physical panic.

Ariana sensed Draco's nervousness, patted his hand gently, and whispered in his ear, "Muggles look no different from us. As long as we don't use magic, they'll think we're all the same. Look, I grew up in the Muggle world, and I'm living well, aren't I?"

In fact, it is still a bit inconvenient, otherwise Ariana's staff would not only work half a day.

Draco took a deep breath and comforted himself: "You are right, I am a wizard, I have magic, I should not be afraid of Muggles."

Looking at Draco like this, Ariana found it a little funny.

She actually wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but as she watched her good friend gradually regain her composure, she felt that there was nothing wrong with understanding it this way.

Thompson had been waiting on the platform for a long time, and when he saw Ariana, he hurried over to greet her.

"Boss, if I remember correctly, you go to a special technical school, not a blind date school. Besides, you won't be 12 until July next year. Isn't it a bit too early to find a boyfriend now?" he asked respectfully.

The two of them were holding hands and talking so intimately that it was hard not to be sure of their relationship.

Thinking that she might still be under surveillance, Ariana said frankly: "Thompson, he is Draco, the one you often communicate with, my boyfriend."

Previously, in the letter, Ariana only told Thompson that Draco was her best friend. Now it seems that even the ordinary world has to unify their words to avoid being exposed one day.

Chapter 241 She seems much more humane

Thompson's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "But didn't you say in your letter that Mr. Malfoy was your best friend? When did he become your boyfriend?"

He thought Draco was the best friend and the boy in front of him was Ariana's other boyfriend, but he didn't expect that he had both identities.

Ariana smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Just because we're best friends doesn't mean we can be your boyfriend too? Look, I have a wealthy family and everything I need, except the warmth of love. So, if I find a boyfriend early on, won't I have someone who cares about me?"

She said this as if it was a matter of course, and her attitude was so firm that no one could see any flaws.

Even if it was fake, Thompson didn't dare to question his boss. Didn't he want to get paid?

He smiled and teased, "Well, Mr. Malfoy, are you going to go home with you? And then take care of you day and night?"

Other orphans did need care, but why did Thompson doubt that Ariana would need emotional care? However, with Draco around, she seemed much more humane.

Ariana shook her head and said, "Of course not. He just wanted to try out this superpower wall. I'm going to send him in to meet his parents later. There's one more news I forgot to tell you. This year I'm not going to scare your son Jackson. Instead, I'm going to spend Christmas at my boyfriend's house."

At the beginning, Jackson knew that Ariana could hypnotize, but he didn't believe it and challenged her bottom line. Ariana, who was a little annoyed, controlled him to do many things that he would not normally do to entertain everyone.

The latter incident became a must-see at Christmas. Even if Jackson covered his eyes, he could not escape the hypnosis of the sound.

After hearing about Ariana's plans for this year, Thompson feigned surprise and asked, "Boss, it's incredible that she's already looking for a boyfriend at 11, but it's even more incredible that you're already discussing marriage. Do you need me to contact some wedding planning companies?"

This is a complete joke. Even in the UK, it is impossible for children to reach the legal age of marriage at the age of 11.
