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

Before the holiday, Ariana handed the dark magic books in the Room of Requirement to Snape.

Even Snape knew that Ariana's ability improved so quickly, which had a lot to do with her obtaining the magic book from the Room of Requirement.

Since Dumbledore wants to suppress her growth rate, he must limit her magical resources.

Even Draco knew that magical resources were in magical families, so he actively made connections for her. It was impossible for Dumbledore not to know the purpose of her attending the Christmas ball.

It was obvious that the old bee first used the Philosopher's Stone to tempt her, and after seeing the rejection letter, he knew that temptation didn't work, so he planned to use intimidation.

After so many confrontations, Dumbledore must have realized that threatening Ariana would have no effect, so he threatened Lucius instead.

Snape didn't want to talk about Dumbledore, so he told Ariana the result of the matter directly.

"Lucius has decided not to hold the Yule Ball this year. I hope you won't go on a killing spree at Malfoy Manor when you go there for the holiday," he said.

Based on Snape's understanding of Ariana, she might have done it when she was angry, otherwise she would not have caused a big scene in the principal's office and even made enemies with the most powerful white wizard in the magical world.

Ariana chuckled and said calmly, "That's my boyfriend's family. How could I do that? As a role model for a wizarding family, even Mr. Malfoy is so afraid of Dumbledore. Other families wouldn't invite me to the Christmas ball even if they held one. I have some self-awareness."

Ariana had decided to attend the Malfoy family's Christmas ball before accepting other families, mainly because she didn't want others to question her relationship with Draco.

Now that Dumbledore has threatened Lucius, other families probably dare not open it. After all, who is more to be feared, the strongest white wizard in the wizarding world or the Dark Lord's reserve who has not yet grown up? Is there any need to think about it?

Looking at the calm Ariana, Snape frowned and asked, "It seems that you are not very anxious to obtain magical resources, or do you already have other channels?"

Snape knew exactly why Ariana was eager to become powerful.

Ariana understood as soon as she heard it. Lucius had not told Snape that she had obtained the Black family's collection of magic books from Narcissa.

This pair of good friends were not that close, but that was understandable, since Snape was under Dumbledore's control.

As Malfoy is from a magical family, he needs to consider the interests of the family. It can only be said that these people have their own plans and can use each other's strengths, but they can also cooperate with each other.

Ariana suddenly thought of her decision to invite Professor Quirrell to duel at Malfoy Manor during the summer vacation.

The corners of her mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she asked jokingly, "Professor, can you help me pass on a message to Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Snape said coldly, "Your busy professor doesn't have the time for you. Perhaps you should know that an owl can find him."

It would be fine to help this kid improve his relationship with Dumbledore at Hogwarts, after all, there was not much distance between them, but now that he was back home, he was not impatient to go back to Hogwarts to see that old bee.

Ariana didn't force him, but said in an ambiguous tone, "I don't want to correspond with him, at least not actively. If you meet him, Professor, just mention it in passing. If you don't meet him, forget it."

Chapter 258 Who can accept her invitation to duel?

He could sense the hidden meaning in Ariana's words, and thought of the times before when this brat had made Dumbledore mad and helpless.

Snape's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "In that case, your busy professor can listen to the treasonous remarks you want to convey to him."

Ariana knew Snape would agree, so she told him the prepared words.

"During the summer vacation, I will invite a powerful wizard to duel at Malfoy Manor. I will also invite many heads of magical families to watch the fight. If he is interested, he can come." She smiled maliciously.

Snape was startled when he heard this. He didn't say whether he would pass on the message or not, but asked directly, "Who are you planning to invite?"

The only powerful wizards this kid knew were professors at Hogwarts. The only people who could accept her invitation to duel were either himself or Flitwick. Then he thought of Quirrell who might also be willing.

As expected by Snape, Ariana directly admitted, "Of course it's Professor Quirrell. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is cursed. Although Professor Quirrell seems to be in good condition recently, Dumbledore probably won't hire him for another year for his own safety. Our duel will not affect his reputation at Hogwarts."

He no longer teaches at school, so why would he care what the students think of him?

Snape snorted coldly, looked at her mockingly and asked, "You knew who he was, do you think he would still go to Malfoy Manor to duel with you at that time?"

And from Dumbledore's tone, it seems that he is very sure that he will get rid of Voldemort before the end of this school year. As his accomplice, Quirrell will probably go directly to Azkaban. Will Ariana go to the prison to duel with him?

Ariana didn't answer, but said, "Professor, just tell Headmaster Dumbledore."

Snape immediately understood that Ariana still wanted to use extreme pressure, and she didn't necessarily want to duel with Quirrell at Malfoy Manor.

If Dumbledore could get rid of the mysterious man before the summer vacation and deal with Quirrell at the same time, then this duel would not be possible, and the magical family would naturally have no chance to witness Ariana's powerful talent.

But even so, it is still very beneficial to Ariana, because without the hidden danger of the mysterious man, even if Ariana's powerful talent is not seen.

As long as the news of her powerful talent spread in Hogwarts, the magical families had no choice but to support her.

There is no need to wait until later. The magic family already knows that her talent is very strong, otherwise they would not want to invite her to the family Christmas ball.

Snape was very willing to see it give Dumbledore a headache.

So he went back on his word and said, "Your busy professor can still spare a little time to run an errand for you. I have said everything I want to say. Goodbye."

Snape said this and disappeared without waiting for Ariana's response.

Ariana looked at the magical fluctuations of Snape's apparition and commented with amusement, "It really does look like a black bat."

When Ariana caught up with the Malfoy father and son who were walking on her bicycle, she found that the atmosphere between the two was very bad. She knew without asking that they must have had a quarrel.

After Ariana approached, she smiled and asked, "Mr. Malfoy, what do you think of my big villa?"

He knew that the other party was unhappy, so he asked this question on purpose to anger him, but it could at least ease the tension between the father and son.

Lucius, in a bad mood, had forgotten to be wary of Ariana. He snorted coldly and said, "Wizards should live in magical manors. Your manor may be beautiful, but Malfoy Manor is larger and could be renovated to a similar style."

The implication is that the Malfoy family does not need to buy this place.

Before Ariana could answer, Draco complained in annoyance, "Dad, I've made it very clear. I want to buy this villa not only because it's so beautiful, but also because it's located in London. It's convenient for us to go to the city. We can even go to Ariana's house easily without turning on the magic fireplace."

The last one was what Draco was most satisfied with.

Lucius didn't want to correct his son in front of others, so he could only frown and remind him, "I told you, we can discuss this topic during the summer vacation."

Did his son know that family disgrace should not be made public? But then he thought of his son's confident attitude. He was afraid that he had already regarded Ariana as his wife, so they were naturally family.

Draco was in a bad mood and spoke without restraint. He asked speechlessly, "Dad, if you don't want to buy it for me, why don't you just say so clearly, or do we really not have that much money?"

What could Lucius say in front of Ariana? The Malfoy family certainly had so much money, but there was no way they could use it to buy a Muggle villa. What would other families think of them then?

That was the wealth accumulated by the Malfoy family for generations, and it was impossible to buy a manor without any magical protection.

Besides, there were only three of them in their family, and Malfoy Manor was big enough, so why buy another one? He really didn't understand how his son's brain circuit was working.

Not wanting to dwell on this topic with his son any further, Lucius could only look at Ariana and talk about Dumbledore's threat.

"Miss Colin, Severus should have told you what Dumbledore meant, so are you still planning to spend Christmas at the Malfoys'?" he said coldly.

It would be better not to go, or even to never appear in front of his son. Now Lucius regretted very much why he did not insist on his wife and send his son to Durmstrang.

In this way, my son would not have known this tricky little wizard and would not have been influenced to this extent.

Ariana didn't look like she was hit at all. She said with a half-smile, "If Mr. Malfoy is willing to let Draco spend the holiday at my house, then I won't go. We agreed to be together forever."

Looking at his son who was still nodding frantically, Lucius couldn't bring himself to curse. He could only grit his teeth and look at the culprit who abducted his son.

"Christmas is a holiday to celebrate with family. Draco must go home. Then I once again invite Miss Colin to visit Malfoy Manor." What else could he say?

Not wanting to see his son betray his parents, Lucius disappeared without even saying goodbye.

Because he was too angry, he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all, and was seen by a weeding worker.

"Devil!" the worker immediately shouted.

Ariana didn't think twice and cast a forgetfulness spell on the person. Feeling that it was not safe enough, she knocked the person unconscious.

Just as they finished dealing with it, two more law enforcement officers appeared.

Maxwell Henry, the team leader, saw that there were only two children at the scene. He remembered the meeting a few days ago where Alan said that there were two little wizards in London, one of whom was very powerful.

Chapter 259: Whether or not we can win depends on this one move

The director contacted Dumbledore immediately, and the department confirmed Ariana's identity that evening.

Then Dumbledore kindly reminded that Ariana was suitable for reasoning, and if a conflict arose, many people would probably be unable to defeat her, so if Si Li met her, it would be best to convince her with reason.

Combined with the news from Slytherin, Ariana was suddenly considered to be the next powerful wizard. The director asked everyone to be vigilant and be polite when meeting young wizards in London.

Maxwell looked at the two children in front of him and found that they were exactly the same as Allen described. He knew without asking that this strong little witch must be Ariana.

Maxwell politely asked Ariana, "Miss Colin, right?"

Basic inquiries are still necessary to avoid any misunderstandings.

Ariana nodded and said, "Ariana Colin, what's your name?"

The wizard before her was clearly not a youngster like Alan. Perhaps a conflict could arise, a chance for a duel? But thinking that this was her own villa, she dismissed the idea.

Seeing the fighting spirit in Ariana's eyes, Maxwell became more polite. He smiled and said, "Miss Colin, since you have entered Hogwarts, it means you have entered the magical world. I hope you know that every wizard is obliged to abide by the Statute of Secrecy."

The implication was that she was accusing herself of breaking the law just now.

Ariana thought about it for a moment, maybe she could learn from these law enforcement officers and use the forgetfulness spell on the villa employees after the duel?

She was quite confident in her spellcasting and would never harm anyone's brain, especially after studying the brain area.

Since she had the intention of dueling, Ariana's tone was very impolite. She said contemptuously, "It seems that the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic can be very high. In just three days, you all know me. Why can't the magic fireplace be opened quickly?"

Maxwell didn't want to fight against a little wizard who was acknowledged to be very strong by the most powerful wizards in the magic world. He couldn't afford the consequences whether he won or lost.

"We are not from the same department. If Miss Colin has any dissatisfaction, the Ministry of Magic welcomes your suggestions." Even though he was despised, he was still very polite.

The other party was so humble, Ariana couldn't go too far, she could only answer the other party's previous questions helplessly.

"I have to remind you one thing. Regarding anything concerning me, it's best to politely ask for the reasons behind it, otherwise we might get into a magical conflict," she said lightly.

Maxwell nodded and asked patiently, "Then please tell me, Miss Colin, why did you use magic to attack an ordinary Muggle?"

He was just knocked unconscious, and it seems that no conflict broke out. If Maxwell knew that this manor belonged to Ariana, he might be more certain that Ariana had no ill intentions.

Ariana didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Because I didn't inform the Malfoy family in advance and brought their heir to this manor without their permission, Mr. Lucius Malfoy was too worried about his son and just used Apparition to come here. When he left, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings and was seen by this Muggle. I just cleaned up the mess a little bit."

What he meant was that it was not him who cast the spell just now.

Maxwell nodded, but still reminded Ariana, "These matters are handled by specialized law enforcement personnel. Miss Colin only needs to abide by the confidentiality agreement signed by the young wizard before leaving school."

Although the attitude was very humble, there was a lot of arrogance in the content. It could only be said that these wizards were used to it.

Seeing an opportunity, Ariana's fighting spirit immediately overflowed. She said with a half-smile, "How did I know you would suddenly appear? And what indicators did you use to determine that the magic had been leaked? After all, before entering Hogwarts, I often used magic, but I never saw law enforcement officers come to help me clean up the mess."

If the opponent makes her unhappy three more times, Ariana decides to attack directly. The opponent will definitely defend himself, and maybe the duel will take place.

Maxwell was an experienced wizard, and seeing Ariana's strong fighting spirit, he didn't dare to say anything else.

He explained honestly, "The Ministry of Magic has alchemical items specifically designed to monitor magical fluctuations. Miss Colin probably hasn't used spells before. As long as the threshold isn't exceeded and nothing breaks out afterwards, the Ministry's law enforcement officers won't show up."

With this explanation, Ariana began to understand a little. In the past, she used hypnosis the most.

This does not fall into the category of spells. If you have to count it, it can only be a new type of spell. Existing alchemical items will definitely not be able to detect the fluctuation of magic power.

As for the threshold they mentioned, it should be the power that exploded like that of the white-haired child, which might cause many people to be injured, so the law enforcement officers of the Ministry of Magic would appear so quickly.

There should be other standards. After all, the magical world has existed for thousands of years, so it is normal to have some special methods.

Ariana was a little bored by the other party's inconsistent attitude. She nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't act so recklessly in the future."

Seeing Ariana's fighting spirit fade away, Maxwell secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the weeding worker and checked, and sure enough, nothing was wrong.

He looked at Ariana again and asked, "Ms. Colin, what should we do with this person?"

Normally, this would require only the casting of a Memory Charm, something the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes was quite adept at.

But this staff member has already fainted, and under uncertain circumstances, he really cannot use the forgetfulness spell at will.

Ariana replied, "I've already used the Oblivion Charm. I knocked him out just to find an excuse. I'll find other people to take him to the hospital later. We'll say he was sunburned and won't remember anything when he wakes up."

Upon hearing Ariana's solution, Maxwell couldn't help but compliment her, "Miss Colin really is as talented in magic as the rumors say. She's only been at Hogwarts for half a year, and she can not only cast the Shield Charm, but even the Oblivion Charm."

If it weren't for the fact that only young wizards like Ariana appeared, Maxwell might have written a letter questioning whether Dumbledore was targeting wizards of previous years.

Why is he so good in his first year, while others only become proficient in professional spells after graduation and entering the workplace, of course, this includes him.

After entering the workplace, he realized that the seven years at Hogwarts were completely wasted. It took him two seven-year periods to reach his current level. Only those who have experienced it know the bitterness involved.

Seeing the other person's resentful look, Ariana misunderstood, so she eagerly asked, "Thank you for the compliment. If Hogwarts didn't have explanations for the three Unforgivable Curses, perhaps I would also know the Killing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and even the Imperius Curse."

Now that things have come to this, whether we can win or not depends on this one move.

Chapter 260 The Ministry of Magic Will Be Very Welcome

Unfortunately, Ariana was disappointed. When Maxwell heard the three unforgivable curses, even the resentful expression on his face disappeared.

"I hope Miss Colin knows one thing. The Ministry of Magic stipulates that using the Killing Curse is equivalent to a crime. You are not those homeless dark wizards. Don't break the law easily." These words were said with great sincerity.

Seeing this, Ariana gave up completely and said indifferently: "Thank you for the reminder. If you can regulate all wizards, I might be more grateful."
