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

Ariana looked at Thompson speechlessly. It had been so long since they last met, so why was this lawyer so talkative? Was this a new trick to get a raise?

"Not yet. I just want to enjoy a life with someone caring about me in advance. I'm not going to enter the marriage stage right away. Not only me, but Draco is only in the first grade. How can we get married now?" Ariana said seriously.

Seeing the look in Thompson's eyes, Draco said hello at the right moment: "Mr. Carter, nice to meet you."

The reason why Draco was so friendly to Thompson was not only because the other party provided him with a lot of help, but also because he saw that Ariana had a very good relationship with her.

As long as Ariana showed her kindness to someone, he was very polite.

Thompson also quickly nodded to Draco and said, "I am very honored to meet Mr. Malfoy."

This is the boss's future husband, so it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with him in advance. This is the new trick to get a raise.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ariana said to Thompson, "Since we've said hello, I'll send Draco in and come out later. Thompson, please wait a moment."

Thompson immediately regained his respectful demeanor, nodded, and said, "It's my duty, boss."

After turning around and entering the wall, Draco asked curiously, "Do you pay Thompson a high salary? He treats you very respectfully."

This attitude is different from that of a house-elf. It is humble but not so servile, and gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Draco didn't seem to feel any barriers when he wrote to the other party. It can only be said that this lawyer is very good at speaking and dealing with people.

Thinking that Draco also wanted to make money, Ariana smiled mysteriously and said metaphorically: "Not only does he have a super high salary, but he also has shares in my investment company. In other words, if I make 1 million, I might give him 100."

Draco was already very familiar with the exchange situation between Muggles and wizards after hearing about Thompson's income.

He said in surprise, "That's a lot! The monthly salary of a basic official in the Ministry of Magic is only 50 Galleons, which is only 250 pounds. Thompson can actually get 1 a month."

And this doesn't include the high salary that Ariana didn't mention.

Ariana laughed when she heard this and explained, "Dear boyfriend, I was just making an analogy just now. He can get more than 1. Think about it, one of my properties is worth more than 1000 million."

Ariana didn't know Thompson's income until the end of the year, but all she could say was that it was a lot.

After all, the other party not only helps him run the company, but also takes care of his life. It can be said that he has the identity of a lawyer, but does the work of a housekeeper.

In fact, just by looking at Thompson's respectful attitude towards Ariana, one can get a glimpse of his income. After all, there is no absolute interest, and it is impossible for the two to be so deeply bound by hypnosis alone.

However, it is also because of Thompson's dedication that Ariana can easily hide the fact that she has superpowers. Money plus power are the basis for Ariana to completely control Thompson.

Looking at the two little guys who were still talking in front of the magic wall, Narcissa couldn't help but come over and ask, "Xiaolong, have you made an appointment with Miss Colin?"

Draco nodded reluctantly and replied, "It's an appointment."

Seeing that her son was still unwilling to let go of the strong girl's hand, Narcissa could only ask again, "Can we go now?"

Draco said impatiently: "Wait, let me talk to Ariana for a few more words."

It's not completely dark yet, and the place is changing so quickly, why is my mother so anxious to go home?

Ariana looked at Draco with a smile and asked, "My dear boyfriend, do you have any instructions for me?"

After sitting on the train for a whole day, Ariana was a little tired. Mainly because she would definitely have a lot of work to do, and she needed to make a detailed completion plan tonight.

Draco could ignore his parents' urging, but since Liana was also about to leave, he could only ask, "Can I send you a message by owl?"

Today is only the 15th and Christmas is on the 25th. Maybe they can pick up Ariana a few days earlier, otherwise they may not be able to see each other for 10 days.

There was no reason for Ariana to refuse, so she nodded and said, "You can write to Thompson using Owl, so of course you can write to me too. I will write you a reply. Today is the 15th, so you can pick me up on the 23rd at the latest."

By the 23rd, it will only be 8 days.

Chapter 242 Ariana will also respond

"Okay," Draco said wearily.

Ever since they met, they have been basically inseparable. Not to mention 8 days, they haven't even been apart for half a day. It can be said that Draco completely forgot to count the time for sleeping.

After returning home, Ariana completely gave up her magic because she was overwhelmed by her funds, assets, and even the affairs of her investment company.

It would be fine if he was just busy with his career, after all, it was his fault that he was away for half a year, but Draco wrote several letters a day.

If she didn't reply, the snotty owl would harass Ariana crazily. It was unclear whether it was doing so at the instruction of its owner or just to help its owner share his worries.

After only three days of separation, Ariana couldn't stand Draco's letter harassment anymore, so she took out a piece of paper and invited him to come to her house early.

After handing the letter to the owl, Ariana said childishly, "Okay, Scottish Fat Chicken, this letter can completely soothe your irritable owner. Don't bother me anymore."

In order to get the work done quickly, Thompson's work location during this period is at Ariana's house.

Facing Ariana's boring behavior, he said jokingly: "It seems that teenage love is very intoxicating. It's only been a few days since we've been apart, and Mr. Malfoy can't stand it. I hope his coming here won't disturb the boss's work."

Then he took out a schedule and reminded her, "After all, you only have four weeks off, and there's Christmas in the middle. Looking at your schedule, you'll need to attend not only some business receptions in the ordinary world, but also some arrangements in the superpower community."

Now that she had a planned schedule, Ariana wasn't worried. She shook her head and said, "Draco won't bother me while I'm busy with work."

I never disturbed him when he was studying magic at Hogwarts, so it didn't make sense for Draco to cause trouble in the ordinary world when he saw how busy he was.

Thompson grumbled speechlessly, "So if he writes to you all day, isn't that a bother?"

Ariana said matter-of-factly, "That's because he hasn't seen how busy I am. Giving him a book will keep him quiet."

Barely an hour later, Draco's owl came again, bringing the news that he would be waiting at the station immediately.

Ariana looked at her watch and quickly said, "Arrange a car, call the driver, and let's go to the station to pick up my dear boyfriend now."

Looking at the unusually calm Ariana, Thompson thought for a moment and jokingly said, "Why do I feel that your relationship is a bit strange?"

It doesn't look like these two kids are in a relationship, mainly because Ariana doesn't look like she's in a relationship.

Ariana asked curiously, "What's strange?"

How could anyone see the flaws in this relationship? Ariana was curious about where she and Draco had fallen short, because Snape often suspected them, then stopped, constantly jumping back and forth.

Thompson touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "You were quite close when you were together, but after you broke up you didn't feel that way anymore."

Ariana was a little confused and asked in confusion, "Are Draco and I not close enough? He's sent me countless owls in just three days of separation."

If that was the case, she felt that it shouldn't be considered a flaw.

Thompson shook his head and explained, "Maybe you look too calm. Without Mr. Malfoy around, it really doesn't feel like a relationship."

Ariana suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder Snape always suspected that she and Draco were not in love. But it didn't take long for him to dispel his suspicion.

It turned out that the problem was her attitude, but Ariana didn't intend to change.

After all, she and Draco were not really in love. It was enough to just deal with it. There was no need to pursue it to the extreme. They were together often anyway, so it would be fine if they kept switching back and forth.

Looking at Ariana packing up and preparing to go out, Thompson suddenly asked, "Where will Mr. Malfoy stay when he comes? Do you want to contact Ms. Aisha to come and set up the room?"

The staff came to clean Ariana's villa in the morning and left after lunch.

However, there were special situations that required staff, so Thompson arranged for a housekeeper to be on call at any time.

After thinking about the layout of her own home, Ariana said, "Just next door to me. After picking him up, we can go to the shopping mall and buy whatever he needs."

Although Ariana said her house was not that big, it was actually quite large. It might not be convenient for Draco to live too far away, so it would be better for him to live next door.

As for the shopping arrangements, Ariana didn't know what to prepare, after all, no one had ever stayed overnight at her house, including Thompson.

Malfoy did not come alone, but was escorted out of the subway platform by Lucius and Narcissa.

Seeing the disgusted expressions on the Malfoy couple's faces, Ariana's mouth curled up slightly, and she walked over and bowed gracefully.

"In the ordinary world, when a child visits a stranger's home for the first time, parents will basically send them to the friend's doorstep. Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy, I'm sure you won't refuse my invitation, right?" she said with a hint of force.

Lucius wanted to say something disgusting, but was stopped by Narcissa, mainly because she was looking at her enthusiastic son. If he continued to target Ariana, his son might not go home for Christmas, especially now that he was going to someone else's house.

Narcissa smirked and replied, "Of course. This is a great opportunity for us to get a feel for Muggle transportation. It's a rare experience."

After getting in the car, Draco leaned close to Ariana's ear and whispered, "I used to think they were quite hostile to Muggles, but I didn't expect they would be willing to send me directly to the Muggle world."

Ariana smiled and said, "They are also quite resistant now, but compared to their own discomfort, their son's safety is more important to them."

Draco frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Actually, you don't need to provoke them to send me to your house. We are best friends. They should trust you."

The main reason was that he repeatedly emphasized the importance of Ariana in the letters he wrote home, but his parents didn't seem to take it seriously.

Ariana patted Draco's shoulder and comforted him, "Caring about you and trusting your best friend are two different things. If you were to go somewhere you had never been, as your best friend, I would definitely take you there myself."

It is normal for friends to reciprocate. Since Draco has made a promise, Ariana will respond to him.

Draco's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Then I'll give it to you later."

Ariana felt that if she continued, the topic might go on forever, so she reminded him: "We have agreed to go to the United States together, there is no chance of separation."

Chapter 243 If Ariana is the Queen

Draco held Ariana's hand tightly and said aggrievedly, "But we've only been apart for three days this time. I'm almost bored to death. The books you gave me are too annoying to read. I can't concentrate on the classes my dad arranged. Even when my mom talks to me, I feel listless."

He felt that he had no passion for anything he did. It had never been like this before and he didn't know why.

Ariana shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that you care about our friendship more than I do. I've been overwhelmed by work these past three days, but I'm still enjoying it. Aside from being harassed by your owl, I've basically not been distracted at all."

Thinking of the fat Scottish chicken that refused to leave, the smile on Ariana's face became even more intense.

Draco said quickly: "I have come to find you, it will not bother you again."

Ariana asked the driver to drive her extended Lincoln. She and Draco sat together, still some distance away from Lucius and Narcissa.

The two little ones would glance at Lucius and Narcissa from time to time and whisper to each other, and the two people being watched also talked about them a lot.

Narcissa frowned and said to her husband, "Luke, Xiaolong is obviously more devoted to their relationship. If you object, our son won't be home for Christmas, and the thing we're most worried about will happen."

The reason why Lucius and Narcissa were so cautious with Draco was mainly because they heard that he was going to immigrate with Ariana.

They didn't want to exacerbate the conflict between the two sides and prevent Draco from losing his mind and immigrating to the United States.

Ariana has just come into contact with the magical world, and Draco doesn't understand the environment outside the British magical world. Whether it is in European countries or the United States, the magical world is not that easy to get into.

Although Lucius had heard that Ariana could beat Snape, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

And now there is the sword of Damocles of the mysterious man hanging over his head. He really has no confidence in Ariana. After all, she is only 11 years old.

Lucius said worriedly, "The Dark Mark has been moving recently. I have a feeling he might return. What will the Malfoy family do then?"

Narcissa said optimistically, "I think you're worrying too much. The You-Know-Who is from Slytherin, and Colin is also from Slytherin. Perhaps they can be in the same camp."

In the eyes of ordinary magical families, the fight between Dumbledore and the mysterious man is mainly a factional struggle. Ariana and the mysterious man are both Slytherins, so they should not have any conflict of interest.

Lucius shook his head and said, "Severus said Colin didn't even submit to Dumbledore. Do you think she will submit to the You-Know-Who who can't defeat Dumbledore?"

Although the You-Know-Who and Dumbledore never had a direct confrontation, Dumbledore was still serving as the headmaster of Hogwarts, while the You-Know-Who had been missing for 10 years, so it seemed that the You-Know-Who had failed.

The reason why Snape told Lucius these things was mainly because he didn't want the people in the magical family to think that Ariana would submit to the mysterious man just because they were all from Slytherin.

In his expectation, Ariana should be independent of Dumbledore and the mysterious man and form her own force.

It not only shows Dumbledore's tendency to be compatible with Muggle wizards, but also ensures the superior status of the magical family.

Some people may think that Snape is a little whimsical and it is impossible for him to get everything, especially since Ariana is the weakest of the three forces.

But after reading the spell analysis written by Ariana, Snape was extremely confident in her. He always felt that if he gave her enough room to grow, this little kid would definitely surpass Dumbledore and the mysterious man.

In the magical world, power is respected. As long as Ariana is strong enough, everyone must listen to her.

Narcissa, like a typical wizard, shook her head and said, "You-Know-Who has been missing for ten years. It's still unclear when he'll return, but Miss Colin is standing right before us, alive and well. She and Draco have such a close relationship. How do we choose? Isn't it obvious?"

Narcissa targeted Ariana that day mainly to make a final struggle, and also because she was a little dissatisfied with her son choosing a girlfriend over his parents.

However, after Draco showed a tough attitude, she chose to take a step back. After all, she didn't want to lose her son.

Narcissa chose Ariana over the mysterious man, mainly because she remembered the mysterious man's tough attitude back then.

Even Bella, who had an ambiguous relationship with him, had to kiss his robe at his feet after getting out of bed.

But Draco and Ariana looked at each other as equals, even though Ariana was the dominant one between them.

A superior who treats others equally is definitely more likable than a strong man like the mysterious man who only knows how to enslave others, right?

The Lincoln stretch limousine drove for an hour before arriving at Ariana's villa.

The villa's exterior was elegant and grand, surrounded by lush greenery and a garden filled with blooming flowers. Draco looked around the courtyard and commented, "It's not very large, but it's beautifully decorated. Every detail is understated yet luxurious."

"I don't have parents, and usually it's just my subordinates who come to see me. If the house is too big, it will seem empty." Ariana explained nonchalantly.

He had already noticed the exquisiteness of the villa in the courtyard, and after entering the inner room, Draco kept exclaiming in admiration.

The interior of the villa is luxuriously decorated, with crystal chandeliers emitting soft light, exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, and furniture of top quality.

Draco asked curiously, "How much is your house? How does it compare to your 1000 million plus manor?"

After all, Draco had been thinking about that villa worth more than 1000 million for a long time, and subconsciously compared it with that villa.
