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

Although everyone had heard that Ariana was very talented, no one outside the school had heard of her feud with Dumbledore.

Maxwell said casually, "If Miss Colin wants to report any wizards who have broken the law, the Ministry of Magic will welcome it very much."

Ariana immediately became emotional upon hearing this. She raised an eyebrow and said indignantly, "Then I will report Headmaster Dumbledore. When I was a student at Hogwarts, he had the ghost monitor me just because I said I wanted to learn the three Unforgivable Curses. But I'm a young wizard from the Muggle world, so of course I learned whatever magic Hogwarts had. Just because I said a few random words, he treated me as a reserve Dark Lord."

She was not slandering Dumbledore by saying this; it was truly what he did.

Maxwell was immediately overwhelmed and said righteously, "Headmaster Dumbledore is a fair and just man. He would never do such a thing. Even if it is true, it is for the sake of the stability of the wizarding world. I don't think we should blame him too much."

I didn't expect that this talented young wizard would be in a hostile relationship with Dumbledore, but it is understandable when you think about it. One is Gryffindor and the other is Slytherin, and factions can make them oppose each other.

The Ministry of Magic cannot intervene in a feud of this level, so it is better to let them fight to the death, and it would be best if they die together.

This also saves them, the on-duty personnel, from having to worry about the attitudes of powerful wizards. Even young wizards who haven't become powerful yet have to be careful. What a ridiculous rule.

Seeing the other party's soft attitude, Ariana completely lost interest and said coldly: "I hope that after I become the most powerful wizard in the magical world, every word I say will be protected by you. Now that the matter has been resolved, please go ahead."

Maxwell had wanted to take his people away a long time ago, but Ariana didn't say anything, so he kept chatting here.

He didn't know that he had escaped a duel. If he won, it would be an unfair victory, and if he lost, he would have no dignity in the department. Judging from Dumbledore's persuasive attitude, the probability of winning was not high.

After everyone left, Draco said to Ariana apologetically, "If my father hadn't been so careless, the people from the Ministry of Magic wouldn't have come and wasted half a day of our time."

It seems that he still has to earn money to buy this big villa himself, and there is no need to ask his parents to live with him, as they are not used to the rules of the ordinary world.

Draco thought that his parents were still young, but he was about to grow up, so it seemed normal for them to live separately.

Ariana shook her head and pointed at the lawn mower and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back and find someone to take him to the hospital. Don't let anything really happen to him."

After all, it was she who cast the spell, and the other was her employee, so Ariana planned to find an excuse to give him some compensation. As for letting Draco cast the spell, she didn't even think about it.

After taking Draco back to the main castle, Ariana found Ms. Elsa and asked her to take the lawn mower who had fainted from heatstroke to the hospital.

After everyone was escorted to the car, Aisha frowned and said, "The sunlight in the UK is so bad, and some people actually fainted from the sun. I should have been more careful when I was interviewing them."

Although Thompson is in charge of Ariana's affairs, most of the private matters are handled by Ms. Aisha, including interviews with the staff of the villa.

Ariana still wanted to compensate the weed cutter, so she quickly said, "Ms. Elsa, I finally did something kind this time. Please don't ruin my image as a boss."

As long as the person still works in her villa, compensation can be paid at any time. She can't let Aisha fire him.

The boss personally instructed, and the chosen worker certainly wouldn't disobey his orders, but he still insisted, "Okay, I won't fire this person. I'll just transfer him to another position. But future staff members will still need to be carefully screened. After all, castle maintenance jobs pay well, so we have a lot of options."

It is one thing to tolerate the boss's kindness, but she also has to ensure the quality of her work, otherwise many people will covet her position.

Having achieved her goal, Ariana naturally nodded and said, "These are all within your job scope. I have no right to interfere. I just need to look at the final result."

When the lawn mower returns to work, Ariana can meet him on the pretext of saving him, and then find an excuse to compensate him, or let Thompson come forward. Anyway, he is used to such unreasonable things.

Because they followed the ambulance to the scene, Elsa knew the location of the lawn. She didn't expect that Ariana and Draco had been there for most of the day but didn't go far.

Being able to understand the boss's needs is a crucial skill for a good employee. Elsa offered a sincere suggestion: "Eton Villa is so vast. If you ride your bikes, you might not be able to see it all in two days, and you'll be exhausted. Let me prepare the sightseeing bus."

Before coming, Ariana had already agreed with Elsa that they would stay here for two days, and then she would take them to the station and use the portkey to go to Malfoy Manor.

Ariana looked at Draco and said, "My dear boyfriend, you decide."

If it weren't for the company of her good friends, Ariana would prefer to stay at Villa Lensa in the city.

Draco didn't want to be surrounded by Muggles, so he shook his head and said, "But I still want to go sightseeing by bike, just the two of us."

He said "two people" very loudly, wanting Ariana to understand his intention. When two people are together, they can't help but talk about magic, so how can there be anyone else?

Elsa misunderstood what Draco was saying, so she smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I took comfort and entertainment into consideration, but I forgot that you two are in a relationship and need your own space to be together. Having a third person would really be an eyesore."

Draco's words were too direct. Ariana was racking her brains to think of how to change the subject so as not to arouse more suspicion from Elsa, but she didn't expect that the other party had already thought of a reason.

Ariana nodded as she walked down the stairs and said, "Yes, we are enjoying our vacation now. It's also a date, so we don't want anyone to disturb us."

Draco also realized that what he had just said was a bit abrupt, and nodded frantically to agree with Ariana, trying to make up for his previous gaffe.

Chapter 261 Didn’t I just not believe it?

Although the boss asked to be alone with her boyfriend, as a considerate and service-oriented person, Elsa still thoughtfully prepared a sightseeing bus.

This is a private villa, so there won't be traffic police coming to check your license. Besides, the bicycles are too slow, and riding for a long time is very tiring.

If only Ariana and Draco could learn to drive the sightseeing bus, the tour would be much easier.

Even though Ariana had never driven before, she was able to drive quite well after the driver gave her some pointers.

More than ten minutes into the sightseeing tour, the two began talking about magic.

Thinking of the attentive Elsa and the omnipotent Thompson, Draco analyzed, "I've discovered that ordinary employees are pretty good too. At least they're not like the house-elves. As long as I say no or express a bit of dissatisfaction, even if they have better ideas, they won't bring them up again."

When Draco first saw the injuries on Dobby's body, he was so scared that he burst into tears. Later, his father told him that all house-elves were like this, and he gradually accepted it and finally got used to it.

Maybe it was due to inherited memories, or maybe it was due to the intimidation education from his predecessors, but Draco felt that all members of the Malfoy family should observe etiquette like him, but the house-elves were extremely afraid of them, including the neurotic Dobby.

Ariana's lips curled up in a mocking smile as she commented lightly, "Have you ever heard of overcorrection? The wizarding world is inherently strange. Not only do they have laws that make everyone hide, they even shut down businesses. They even use the savior stunt to make everyone believe that a clueless idiot can save the world. And everyone actually believes it."

Not only is there a savior, but the professor actually claims that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world.

What's the difference between saying that a place full of injustice and confrontation is safe and telling others that it's safe in a powder keg?

Hearing Ariana include everyone, Draco quickly said: "Not everyone, then I didn't believe it, right?"

Ariana couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. She glanced at him and jokingly said, "You must have believed it at first, otherwise you wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about making friends with people, only to be rejected and still be upset about it."

In fact, it was not just Draco. It can be said that the entire wizarding world believed it, from top to bottom, simply because the savior was declared by the most powerful white wizard.

When this matter was mentioned, Draco scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He didn't think so before, but now thinking about it, he seemed to be quite stupid.

In order to prevent Ariana from continuing to tease him, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Potter also grew up in the wizarding world and lives with relatives. Do you think he will be bullied like that little boy with white hair?"

Of course Ariana knew that Draco was just picking a topic at random. After all, this was sightseeing, so they could talk about anything.

She shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself. When I first met him, he was skinny and small, looking malnourished. Wasn't it obvious at a glance whether he'd been bullied?"

After half a year of being fed with food at Hogwarts, Harry's condition was not as exaggerated as when he first entered school, but he was still not as good as a child who had been carefully brought up. It was probably because his foundation was damaged a little.

Draco's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "Are you saying Potter was bullied by his relatives? But your analysis is correct. Potter is also from a magical family. There should be a lot of money in the family treasury. He is rich but still lives in such a miserable way. He is obviously being targeted."

In fact, Draco still believed that Harry was the savior, it was a subconscious behavior.

After all, he had believed it for so many years, it was impossible for him to change it all of a sudden. He was sure that it was because of the abuse from his relatives that made Harry thin that he was so surprised.

Because she had a lot of opinions about Harry, Ariana even went out of her way to learn about his experience. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

Harry did not hide anything about his upbringing, and with his title as the savior, almost everyone in Gryffindor knew about it, and then it spread to Hufflepuff. Ariana got the general idea after a slight detour.

She chuckled and said sarcastically, "If Dumbledore had been more careful, Potter wouldn't be so skinny. It can only be said that Dumbledore only sees who or what he wants to see."

The savior was sent to a relative's home in the ordinary world, and the Potter family's funds have not been handed over to them, nor has even the child support been paid.

The economy in the UK has not been very good in recent years. Raising a child not only takes time and energy, but also money. It would be strange if that relative didn't feel resentful.

Seeing that Ariana looked unhappy, Draco quickly waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about Dumbledore. You should introduce this villa to me."

They are enjoying their vacation now, so they should talk about happy topics. They should worry about things like Dumbledore and the Savior after they return to Hogwarts.

Ariana certainly wouldn't refuse: "I'm fine with either."

If it wasn't for accompanying Draco, even if there was something important here, Ariana would just ask Thompson or Aisha to report to her, or even just write a document.

In the past, she would never have believed that she would have the leisure to stroll around the property that already belonged to her, but now Ariana did not show any impatience.

Ariana had actually only been to Eton Villa a few times, but as her most valuable property, she must have learned detailed information before purchasing it. She introduced it to Draco while driving.

The villa covers an area of ​​17 hectares, and the main building area extends over 2.3 hectares, including four forests and two lakes.

As for why Draco felt that this place had been carefully carved, it was because not only were the buildings magnificent and exquisite, but there were also helicopter runways, racetracks, golf courses, and even a highly defended vault in the basement of the main castle, covering almost every scene imaginable.

Sitting in the sightseeing car, Draco looked at the sports car lane in the distance and exclaimed, "I used to think Malfoy Manor wasn't as good as here, but I couldn't tell where it was. Now that I've heard you introduce so many facilities, I understand, because Malfoy Manor doesn't have any of them."

Malfoy Manor also has many facilities, such as a horse farm, which has both land and flying horses.

But Eaton Villa also has a horse farm. Although there are no airplanes, they do have an airport.

After hearing what Draco said, Ariana asked in surprise, "Your father said before that Malfoy Manor is even larger than this place. It can't be all primeval forest or undeveloped lakes, right?"

In order to maintain its natural beauty, Villa Eton has retained some original forests and lakes.

But that's just a less commercialized preservation, there are still quite a few decorations, otherwise there wouldn't be so many staff members in the villa.

Chapter 262 This is the reason why we are always dissatisfied

Thinking about the difference between the two manors, Draco said with a wry smile, "It's really just like you said. Whether it's Hogwarts or the wizarding families, everyone is still stuck in the Middle Ages. My home isn't entirely covered in primeval forests and undeveloped lakes, but it's not much better either."

There were some things that Draco was embarrassed to say. There was no separate bathroom in his bedroom, and the decoration was in classical style. Although it was magnificent, it was far less convenient than here.

But no matter how embarrassed he was to say it, they would be going to Malfoy Manor in two days, and Ariana would still know about it then. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, and then became more eager to make money and buy this place.

Maybe this is why he is never satisfied. He doesn't want to be too far away from Ariana.

Although Eaton Villa is large and appears spacious, it does combine convenience with exquisitely crafted luxury, and its design style tends to be magnificent, which greatly caters to Draco's preferences, so the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

It could also be that I’m with good friends, and I’m in a good mood, so whatever I see has a thicker filter.

Ariana comforted her friend, who had a bitter expression and longing eyes, saying, "I'm returning the words you advised me before. We're only 11 years old. Why are you in such a hurry? We'll have bread and milk. Just trust me and everything will be fine."

Looking at Ariana's invincible and confident aura, Draco's mentality gradually calmed down.

He nodded and said, "Yes, with your promise, I will take it step by step and I will definitely be able to buy this place."

Then when he brings Ariana home, he won't feel shy anymore.

The villa was so huge that it was almost time for dinner, so Ariana took Draco back to the main castle area.

It is not easy to book a chef that Ariana likes. Even when she was at the Lensa Villa, Elsa couldn't book a suitable one.

It was not until today that Draco truly experienced the customized service provided by a famous chef.

Sitting in the restaurant, the two could see the entire situation in the open kitchen. Not only was the famous chef cooking like an art, but he was also equipped with many assistants.

It's not like watching cooking, but more like watching a performance.

Draco leaned close to Ariana's ear and said in a low voice, "I also discovered one thing that you don't have at Malfoy Manor. That is, at my house, you only enjoy the end result, but you don't know what the process is like."

Watching the chef carefully prepare each dish, although not as immersive as cooking it yourself, I can at least understand the difficulty of making it, so I will cherish it when I taste it.

Psychological effects are sometimes quite important. For example, Draco now feels that although the food prepared by the chef is not as much as the ordered food, it is still perfect in terms of presentation, taste, and even timeliness.

Ariana understood what Draco meant. She smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Tonight's show may surprise you even more."

Elsa also prepared a drama performance. In addition to the two owners, Ariana and Draco, all the staff of the villa could come to watch, so the atmosphere in the auditorium was quite lively.

Sitting in the main seat, Draco looked around with sparkling eyes, just like a child who was watching a show for the first time.

After the play started, he leaned over to Ariana's ear and whispered excitedly, "This is much better than watching it on TV."

When they first arrived at Ariana's house, Draco almost asked when he saw TV for the first time, how could there be people in such a small box, and how could those people shrink?

But he was very proud, so even when facing Ariana, he just observed for the time being and did not ask.

Later I learned that this was similar to the radio in the magical world. It was filmed with special equipment and then projected. It was similar to magic photos, except that there were too many of them.

Ariana was stunned for a moment, and looked around at the scene before she understood what Draco meant.

She smiled and said, "You probably feel the atmosphere of the scene, so you think watching a play is better than watching TV. In fact, some people think that TV can add some science fiction effects or process the pictures to make it look more beautiful."

The effect of watching TV series is indeed better, but watching it live is more realistic. Which method is better depends on personal preference.

Draco looked at the performance of the play and shook his head. "If it's for visual enhancement, you can rely on makeup. The special effects you mentioned can actually be achieved."

A play without big special effects is indeed as Draco said, such as atomization, which can be achieved with chemical reagents, but the characteristics of lightning and thunder are impossible.

Looking at the enthusiastic Draco, Ariana smiled and suggested, "If you like this kind of live atmosphere, I'll take you to a concert next time. There are many singers who create a really good atmosphere at their concerts, even if you have no idea what they are singing."

People living in the ordinary world certainly know which singer sings which song, but Draco has never been exposed to these. However, what he likes is the atmosphere, so what does it matter whether he knows what is being sung or not?

After playing for a day, Ariana arranged her time for work the next day. As long as they could be together, Draco didn't mind whether they were working or playing.

Seeing Ariana making plans for the Christmas holiday, Draco asked doubtfully, "My dad hasn't told me about the arrangements for the Christmas ball yet. If you make plans now, will you have to change them later?"

Lucius was so angry at the time that he left without informing his son about the follow-up arrangements. Ariana and Draco always had endless topics to talk about when they were together, so she forgot to tell him yesterday that the Christmas ball would not be held.

Seeing this, Ariana explained, "I heard that Dumbledore wrote to your father to discuss the Yule Ball. I don't know what excuse he gave, but your family's Yule Ball is canceled. Since I said I wouldn't attend yours first, I wouldn't attend anyone else's either. Of course, I mean what I said."

Not only does she have to keep her promise, but the other families will also surely wonder why the Malfoys don't hold a Christmas ball. Once they find out it's Dumbledore's interference, even if they want to contact Ariana again, they probably won't invite her.

Draco's face flushed with anger after hearing the whole story. He said angrily, "Dumbledore is going too far. It's not enough for him to meddle in everything at Hogwarts, but now he's even interfering in whether the Malfoy family holds the Yule Ball? Why doesn't he care about other people getting married and having children?"

Thinking of what happened before, Ariana couldn't help laughing, and then reminded him: "Didn't he want to introduce Cedric to me? If I agree, it would be considered as taking care of it."
