After Ariana finished her affairs for the day, she saw that Draco could already type fluently.

"We are indeed the best of boyfriend and girlfriend, Draco. You learned computer typing so quickly." Ariana praised him habitually.

Draco said helplessly, "It's not that fast. It's already been four hours, and you've been busy for the whole four hours."

Ariana looked at her watch and did not respond to Draco. Instead, she walked straight to the phone and called Ms. Elsa.

"I forgot to ask you to arrange a chef. Can you help me make an appointment with which hotel's chef can be dispatched? If that's not possible, then I can just order the meal directly." Ariana said.

Elsa on the other end of the phone glanced at the clock on the wall and said helplessly, "It's already this time. Even if the boss doesn't care about his health, he should still consider the comfort of the guests. I suggest you order directly."

Normally, when the staff come to work, they will prepare the food for the day. Ariana just needs to heat it up herself when she eats. Plus, she knows magic, so sometimes she doesn't even need to use any appliances.

Now that we have guests at home, of course we can't be so casual.

Ariana nodded and said, "Okay, starting tomorrow, please help me book a famous chef every day. The location doesn't have to be at Villa Lensa. Please also make preparations at Villa Eton. Draco and I may stay there for a few days before the 24th."

Ariana now lives in the London community. The name of the villa is London and Ariana's house is number 9.

The villa in the southern suburbs worth more than 10 million pounds is called Eaton. It is a separate villa. Apart from these two, all the properties under her name have specific names.

Hearing this, Elsa smiled and complimented, "It seems the boss isn't so obsessed with work that she neglects her boyfriend. You two entered the dating stage too early, and I was worried that your relationship wouldn't be stable. It seems that worry was unnecessary."

Modern times and ancient times are still very similar in some cases. Ariana is a very talented person, but she is too young and has so many quirks. People like Elsa are very afraid that something will happen to her, and then everyone will be unemployed.

I heard that she has a boyfriend. They are in a relationship before they reach the legal age for marriage. At this rate, they should wait until the legal age for marriage before getting married. By then, she will be stable and the staff of the villa may be able to work full time.

Ariana was of course aware of her subordinates' concerns, but she had nothing good to say to comfort them before, so she could only gloss over it. She had never expected that maintaining a romantic relationship with Draco would bring so many benefits.

"It's indeed redundant. Our relationship is very stable." Of course she would say something that is beneficial to herself.

After hanging up the phone, Ariana looked at Draco who had been waiting for a long time.

"Today is the 19th. If I go to your house on the 24th, there are still 4 days left. How many days do you want to stay at Eaton Villa?" Ariana asked.

Draco thought about it and offered his own suggestion: "How about staying here for two days and there for two days?"

He still didn't want to make a choice and wanted to live in both places. It's not that Ariana's villa was bad, but he wanted to see a better one.

Chapter 247 I will attack you if we disagree

Ariana couldn't help but smile and agreed directly, "That's great. It won't delay either of us. Let's go in two days. I'll have Elsa send some food over today. We still have some time, so why don't we go for a walk around the area?"

The main reason was that she had already been working for four hours, and she felt a little embarrassed to have left Draco here for so long.

After walking out of the villa, Ariana noticed that Draco was a little nervous, so she took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand.

Seeing Draco looking at her in confusion, Ariana didn't explain, but just asked: "Do you know why I always worry about my personal safety in the wizarding world?"

The two were good friends, and Draco cared so much about Ariana's feelings, so of course he knew the reason.

Without thinking, he said directly, "Because you think that people with wands are likely to attack you if they disagree with you."

Ariana nodded, looking puzzled as she said, "Yes, but no one here is holding a wand. Look at the security guards in the distance, they are all checking for people who might commit crimes, so we are very safe."

In this situation, it should be others who are afraid, after all, she and Draco can do magic.

Draco took a deep breath and said politely, "I might need a little time."

Thinking of how she felt when she first entered Diagon Alley, Ariana gently comforted him, "I understand completely. I was also very uncomfortable when I first entered the magical world, otherwise I wouldn't have clashed with so many people. You see, I'm quite used to it now, so everyone goes through this process."

After being comforted by Ariana, Draco gradually calmed down, and then observed the surrounding environment unscrupulously.

"So this is the environment you grew up in. The scenery is beautiful, the people seem very kind, and most importantly, there are a lot of people. Unlike me, I was very surprised when I first met Goyle and Crabbe. I didn't expect that there were little wizards like me in the world."

At that time, Draco thought that there were only him, his parents, and elves like Dobby.

In fact, Draco personally likes Dobby very much, because he is different from other house-elves, so when he looks for house-elves, he subconsciously looks for Dobby because he has the deepest impression of him.

Now that he thinks about it, his father often looks for Dobby, perhaps because of the same mentality, because people tend to only remember the special one.

Ariana shook Draco's hand, trying to distract him from the memories.

Unexpectedly, Draco subconsciously shook off her hand.

The two little ones just laughed and waved their hands. No one thought this behavior was childish. An hour later, they walked back to the villa. The meal that Elsa arranged had been waiting for 10 minutes.

Looking at the boss whose cheeks were red with laughter, Aisha said jokingly, "If I didn't know that the boss doesn't like crowds, I might have gone to ask the guards for help, saying that my boss disappeared before the meal."

This was just a joke, because Ariana usually reports her whereabouts to Thompson, and she was only missing for 10 minutes, and her work computer was still on.

Because she was in a good mood, Ariana didn't mind being teased, and said seriously: "Ma'am, you can ask them for help. After all, I paid a high fee."

Even when ordering food, it wasn't just some cheap takeout. When the plates of exquisite delicacies were served on the table, Draco was still dazzled.

He had never even seen some of the dishes before. If they hadn't been placed on the table, he wouldn't have believed that they were food.

In order to make it convenient for Ariana to dine alone, the dining table in Villa Lenza is a revolving one.

Draco did not follow etiquette and sat diagonally across from Ariana. Instead, he sat next to her. Whatever dish he wanted, he just had to turn the table slightly and the dish would appear in front of him.

Draco couldn't help but exclaim as he savored the delicacies on the table, "Is this how you usually eat? There are so many dishes."

Even though he was the heir to a wealthy family in the wizarding world, he still felt that so many dishes were too luxurious.

Although Ariana didn't have the virtue of thriftiness, she also didn't have the habit of extravagance. She shook her head and said, "Usually there are only three or four dishes. This is not to entertain you."

Whether it's delicious food or beautiful scenery, in Ariana's opinion, you should enjoy it while you can, and your daily life is similar to that of ordinary people.

Draco remembered that Ariana and Ms. Elsa had called for a special chef, and asked curiously, "So you just asked Ms. Elsa to call for a special chef. Does that mean there will be more dishes than we have now?"

With so many dishes on order and all so delicious, Draco had higher expectations for the chef's customization.

Ariana gently stirred the soup in front of her and shook her head. "If we hired a chef, there might not be so many dishes. The main thing is that we eat whatever he cooks."

Ariana didn't have many opportunities to hire chefs in her life, mainly because she felt she was about to die in her previous life, so she hired all the chefs she could.

Draco was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Is the chef so arrogant?"

In his stereotype, a chef is someone who serves people. Of course, the chefs in magical families are usually house-elves.

Ariana put down the spoon, looked Draco in the eyes, and reminded him, "Remember when I told you that therapists get top treatment?"

Draco nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I remember every word you said. Even if I'm just a waiter, after I do my best, others still beg me. I understand. The same is true for chefs. After they do their best, others still beg them."

This is also the reason why Draco accepted to become a therapist. He just wanted to be the strongest in the industry instead of serving others.

Ariana smiled softly, explaining the difference: "It's not a matter of asking for help, but rather showing respect. After all, I spent money to hire him. If you look at it that way, it doesn't count as me begging him."

He is a chef, and he doesn't even have respect. He doesn't dare to poison others, so how can he not dare to spit? So don't offend the service staff easily.

Draco nodded thoughtfully, then sighed, "Ariana, the Muggle world is very different from what I imagined."

Before he came, he thought that Ariana was a wealthy person in the Muggle world, and her family situation might be similar to that of the Malfoy family, but he didn't expect the gap between imagination and reality to be so big.

But when you think about how Ariana spoke up for the half-bloods in Slytherin and treated everyone equally, it seems you can understand how the Muggle world is like this.

Chapter 248 I seemed to hear magic

Ariana knew that Draco was not used to it, just like she was not used to it when she first entered the wizarding world.

She smiled and reminded, "Draco, when you're here, you'd better call it the ordinary world. The word Muggle sounds discriminatory, although everyone is used to it now and it doesn't mean that."

Ariana also talked about the Muggle world when she went to the magical world. She did not mean to discriminate, but just thought that saying so would help the wizards better understand what she was talking about.

Draco quickly responded, "Okay, I'll be careful not to let anyone find out that I'm a wizard."

He understood what Ariana meant. It was not only about showing respect to the chef, but also to the ordinary world. He should not be provocative, but he should not be afraid of things either. This was what Ariana asked of him.

Ariana smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I've lived in the ordinary world for so many years, and I haven't been discovered so far, right?"

Thinking of something, Draco asked doubtfully, "But Thompson knows you have magic."

Draco thought that what Ariana said to Hermione before was just a perfunctory response, and he felt that Thompson knew a lot, almost the address of Hogwarts.

Ariana raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, and said sarcastically, "He just thinks Hogwarts is a special ability. He doesn't know the name of the school, or even magic. So sometimes there are loopholes in the Statute of Secrecy."

This loophole is quite easy to exploit. After all, superpowers and magic are the same ability, just called by different names. But just because of this, no one comes to trouble Ariana.

In fact, Ariana was completely unaware of one thing, that is, the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic was really too low.

And they don't want to make a fuss about everything. As long as it doesn't cause too much of a stir, basically no one will care.

Of course, if something breaks out, someone will definitely use the Oblivion Charm to eliminate it on a targeted basis. It seems that there is a professional department called the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

Although Ariana has a lot of things to do, when her good friend comes to her home, she can't just focus on her career and put her good friend aside.

So she spent five hours a day on work, all in the afternoon and evening, and spent the rest of the time taking Draco around the neighborhood and teaching him how to ride a bike.

Perhaps because of his talent for broom riding, Draco was able to ride one quite well in just a few hours, so the two of them rode their bikes around and enjoyed their vacation.

Even when Draco was riding his bike, he was still talking to Ariana. It can be said that when Ariana was not busy, he almost wanted to chat with her.

"I don't think there's anything inconvenient about living without magic. Why do my parents reject the ordinary world so much? It's pretty good to live in the ordinary world like you." He was quite curious about this.

Although flying brooms is fun, it feels really good to ride a bicycle leisurely with my best friends and stroll slowly through the beautiful park.

Ariana replied calmly, "You've forgotten one thing. Not only is the magical world still stuck in medieval customs, but the wizards' perspectives are also stuck in medieval knowledge. The ordinary world back then wasn't as convenient as it is today."

Medieval Europe was terrible. Not only was the class concept unbearable, but the sanitary conditions were so poor that people didn't want to go out.

You can imagine that the king only took a few baths in his life. The purpose of developing perfume was to deodorize people. Even if the wizard didn't like to take a bath, he would still clean himself up.

After hearing Ariana's analysis, Draco thought for a moment and asked, "So, do you think the Statute of Secrecy is good or bad? I think it's because of this law that wizards are completely isolated from the ordinary world."

He vaguely felt that if the magical world had not been isolated from the ordinary world, its knowledge and customs would not have remained in the Middle Ages.

Ariana hadn't given this question much thought, so she casually said, "I think it's both protective and harmful, especially in terms of development. After all, the saying 'be prepared for danger in times of peace' is no joke."

Not only the development in life, but also in magic, just like she once questioned Dumbledore why there were so many outstanding wizards during Voldemort's time.

The saying that heroes emerge in troubled times is not just a casual remark.

Before Draco could ask Ariana's opinion, a cry for help came from a distance, interrupting their conversation.

Today they did not wander around Villa Lenza, but asked the driver to take their bicycles to Hyde Park, where they rode to enjoy the scenery.

By now they had ridden to the edge of a secluded lawn. Around the corner, a group of children had gathered and were bullying someone.

This place is quite remote and generally no one would come here easily. The bullied child was obviously dragged here.

Draco stopped his bike, looked at Ariana, and whispered, "Shall we go over and take a look?"

He didn't want to be a hero, he just wanted to join in the fun, but this was a strange world for him, so he let Ariana make the decision.

Ariana frowned slightly. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business and planned to take Draco away. It would be best to find the nearby security personnel to come and solve the problem.

But before they could ride away, they heard a description of magic.

"You are a monster, you use magic, you are the child of a witch, and your mother is also a monster."

When Ariana heard this, she paused and stopped pedaling her bicycle, and Draco naturally stopped as well.

Draco obviously heard the magic as well, his eyes full of curiosity as he asked, "Should we go over and take a look? I think I heard some magic."

Ariana narrowed her eyes slightly and analyzed, "If my guess is correct, the child being bullied should be a Muggle wizard who hasn't entered Hogwarts yet. It may be that his magic awakening is not hidden well."

Seeing that Ariana hadn't answered his question, Draco asked anxiously, "You haven't said we can't get through yet?"

If it were at Hogwarts, Draco would have gone there long ago, but he didn't understand how the ordinary world worked, and he was afraid of causing trouble for Ariana.

Ariana thought for a moment and decided, "Let's wait nearby and see if anyone comes to deal with this situation. If so, we won't take any action."

She still didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she was also curious about how the Ministry of Magic would handle it, so she didn't leave with Draco immediately.

Hearing Ariana pinning her hopes on the Ministry of Magic, Draco curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Do you think the Ministry of Magic will handle it? Their work efficiency is so poor that they have to wait until next year to open a magic fireplace. It's simply unreasonable."

Chapter 249 A Killing Curse

Draco was still upset that Ariana's family couldn't open the magic fireplace immediately, and when he was at home he even tested his father to see if he could smooth things over.

Unfortunately, no matter how rich his father is or how much influence he has on the Ministry of Magic, he can't make people appear out of thin air, nor can he change the lazy behavior of wizards.

Ariana still remembered Farley's description and shook her head. "There's no professional staff to operate the magical fireplace, but upholding the Statute of Secrecy is the responsibility of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. They have professional staff, so perhaps their efficiency isn't as low as you think."

Ariana and Draco found a sheltered corner and observed the bullying. The target of the bullying was a little boy of eight or nine years old, with white hair and blue eyes, and he looked quite cute.

"I'm not a witch's child, and my mother is not a witch." The little boy shouted with a look of grievance on his face.

"Your mother doesn't go out to work, doesn't participate in community social activities, and doesn't usually interact with others. Your family's money is all made by magic. I even saw you float a football." A slightly mean older child pointed at the little boy and said.

The little boy anxiously defended himself, "I kicked it up there, I didn't float up there."
