Of course, Ariana had never learned the Fiery Curse, and she had never even seen the explanation of this spell.

The reason why we know this spell is because history clearly states that this is Grindelwald's famous work.

She was deeply impressed by the descriptions of the two wizarding wars. Although Grindelwald's most famous spell was the Confusion Curse, she was very interested in the description of Grindelwald burning Paris.

After understanding it, I realized that it was Lihuo.

Moreover, Grindelwald used it as a defensive magic when fighting Dumbledore, like a fire shield to protect himself. Her use of blazing flames came from this inspiration.

Ariana knew, of course, that Professor McGonagall considered this a very serious spell and thought she shouldn't learn it.

Ariana has always been firm in her attitude towards black magic. Since the spell has been developed, there will definitely be people who will learn it. Otherwise, if others can do it and she can't, wouldn't that be putting her head under someone else's knife?

Whether she can save her life depends on whether others are happy, and she doesn't want to be controlled by others.

Ariana replied calmly, "Of course not. The book I bought doesn't contain the explanation of the Fiery Blaze Curse. Perhaps it's in the restricted area of ​​the library. I don't think you and Professor Dumbledore would allow me to go there."

Ariana is not stupid, so of course she can't tell Professor McGonagall that she has other sources of books on dark magic. Professor McGonagall must know it, but she won't tell anyone about the Room of Requirement anyway.

Mag wasn't sure how many books on dark magic were among the ones Ariana bought, and felt that if she continued to let her study recklessly, it would only lead to big trouble, so she decided to confiscate her books.

"I forgot to tell you in the headmaster's office earlier that all the books you bought in Diagon Alley should be sent to my office. I will check them and then return them to you."

McGonagall thought it was normal for professors to confiscate students' books, but she didn't expect Ariana to react so strongly.

"I bought it with my own money. It's my personal property. Even if you're a professor, you have no right to control my things." Ariana looked at Mag speechlessly.

I don't understand why these professors can so confidently demand that other people's things be confiscated, provided that she has not done anything bad with those things.

"This is for your safety." McGonagall refused to give up.

Ariana hates it most when people say "it's for your own good" but actually want to achieve their own goals.

She looked at Professor McGonagall sarcastically and said bluntly, "Is it for my safety, or for the safety of the rest of the school? The book is in Diagon Alley, anyone can buy it. There are even explanations of the relevant spells in the restricted area of ​​the school. Is it true that they can't learn it even if they read it?"

This is the fact, not everyone can learn black magic if they want to.

"This is none of your business."

Professor McGonagall's cheeks turned slightly red after being confronted by Ariana. She felt that Ariana was wrong, but she couldn't find any other reason to refute her. Subconsciously, she wanted to use her status as a professor to suppress her.

"Just send all the books to my office anyway."

Others are unreasonable and try to suppress her, but it definitely won't work with Ariana.

"I can't even fully control my own things, so what should I be in charge of?" She looked at the other person with disdain.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was paying attention to what magic Ariana had learned, Madam Pince could only remind her that what they should talk about now was their fight outside the teaching building.

She looked at Ariana fiercely and accused her of her behavior: "Not only did she use magic in the corridor, she also used a fire spell outside the library, Professor McGonagall, you must punish her severely."

Ariana was so disgusted by the self-righteous attitude of the Hogwarts professors that her tone was not so good.

"Then punish us severely, preferably expel us, provided we haven't caused any damage."

Ariana looked at the two people in front of her with sarcasm, as if saying, "If you really dare to do this, I will really draw my wand and seek justice for myself."

In all the years she had been working at Hogwarts, no student had ever dared to talk back to her like that. Madam Pince was furious.

"That's totally unreasonable. Students like that must never enter the library." Madam Pince began to speak without thinking.

Hearing Madam Pince's threat, Ariana laughed and questioned her, "So the library is your personal property, right? You said you couldn't enter, so I can't enter?"

Madam Pince's face turned red after being scolded by Ariana, and she also realized that she had lost her mind just now.

But the fact that she could say such words subconsciously showed that she really regarded the library as her own territory.

When there was no conflict, she could still pretend that she loved books, but now that she was arguing with Ariana, the meaning of this sentence was completely different.

Seeing that Madam Pince was already red in anger, Professor McGonagall sighed and said to ease the atmosphere, "Colin, you should have basic courtesy towards the faculty and staff of the school."

If you can't argue, just find another problem. Ariana has seen this routine many times.

"Am I being impolite, or are you all just used to being condescending and treating students arbitrarily? You can't accept anyone challenging your authority."

She looked at the two of them with a mocking expression, to see what other shocking words they could say.

Professor McGonagall's tone had calmed down, and she patiently advised, "But Dumbledore clearly forbade spellcasting in the corridors at the start-of-term dinner. You have indeed violated the school rules, and you deserve to be punished."

Ariana couldn't agree with this.

"Have you asked about what happened? Have you confirmed the truth? You want to punish me without knowing anything?" These people's thinking is simply unreasonable.

"Okay, then tell me, what happened at that time? Why did you have a conflict?" Professor McGonagall could only ask patiently.

Ariana is not an unreasonable person, it's just that these people only look at others from their own perspective and there is no fairness at all.

"I told the principal in the office that I wanted to drop out because I can't use electrical appliances in school and can't handle family affairs in time. I just want to go to the library to see if there is any alchemy solution to this problem." She explained.

"And then?" Professor McGonagall thought this explanation was reasonable.

Ariana continued, "Then Draco and I just got to the fourth floor when we were stopped by Granger."

"As the professor knows, we had a bad argument in Diagon Alley. I certainly didn't want to talk to her, but she cursed at me, accusing Draco of being a nuisance. Draco got angry and cursed back. I told her to talk if she had something to say, and to go back to Gryffindor if she didn't. Then she ran away."

"Why did you get into a fight with the Weasley brothers?" Professor McGonagall looked at her in confusion.

Ariana answered as a matter of course, "When we came out of the library, the Weasley twins stopped us and accused us of bullying Granger. They pulled out their wands at us, and we fought them in self-defense."

Although they were a little embarrassed by Ariana's criticism, the Weasley brothers were very brave. When they heard what Ariana said, they immediately stopped pretending to be dumb.

"Hey, you're really good at avoiding the main point. Why don't you tell me how Malfoy scolded Granger?" George retorted unconvinced.

Just a few words of insults have escalated to the point of drawing wands. What's the difference between this and directly drawing a gun? You have to know that the Killing Curse of the Three Unforgivable Curses can kill people just as easily as bullets.

"No matter how you scold her, she was the one who scolded Draco first, and this is a matter between us and her, what does it have to do with you? Don't you always dislike Granger for meddling in Gryffindor's affairs? On the contrary, your behavior today is also meddling." Ariana retorted sarcastically.

Fred declared angrily, "Malfoy called Granger a Mudblood."

Professor McGonagall was very surprised when she heard this, and her eyes focused on Draco, who had been silent.

"What? Is this true?" Could this kid really say such vicious words?

The battle lines are now very clear. Professor McGonagall belongs to Gryffindor, and now there are only her and Draco in Slytherin.

Seeing Draco shrinking his neck and feeling guilty, Ariana of course had to stand up to protect him.

"Mudblood and swearing are both extremely offensive. I don't see any difference." She thought they were both insults.

Professor McGonagall disagreed with this view and looked at Draco seriously and said, "This is a very bad word. Malfoy must be punished."

Ariana laughed after hearing this.

"So Granger is not wrong to come and call Draco a nuisance? The Weasley twins are not wrong to come and cause trouble for us without knowing anything?" she asked sarcastically.

Just as Professor McGonagall was hesitating, Ariana added fuel to the fire.

"Professor McGonagall, you are not only the Headmaster of Gryffindor, but also the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts. Even if Slytherin was the defeated party in the Second Wizarding War, it wouldn't be bullied by Gryffindor like this, right?"

She thinks that whether it is professors or students in the school, their three views need to be reshaped in order to be normal.

"I'm not saying they're not at fault, I'm saying you need to be punished."

Professor McGonagall saw that Ariana was holding on to Hermione and the Weasley brothers tightly, and sighed. It seemed that this matter could not be handled quickly.

Ariana, unsurprisingly, disagreed.

"I don't think we need to be punished. They provoked us first, and the fight on the fourth floor didn't cause any damage."

Professor McGonagall stopped trying to persuade him and asked directly, "So you firmly refuse to accept punishment, right?"

Ariana didn't refute it and nodded in agreement.

"That's right. It's no use trying to intimidate me with the principal's office tactics. Either expel me or be fair."

Professor McGonagall was a little tired and could only hurriedly say, "Go back to your respective lounges immediately. I will inform you of the results later."

Professor McGonagall thought that it would be better for Dumbledore to deal with Ariana, the troublesome student.

Dumbledore was indeed very troubled when he heard the news, but he was still experienced and he quickly thought of a way to deal with Ariana.

Chapter 23 Billionaire

The next day, Snape found Ariana and announced the outcome of yesterday's fight.

"What, please invite the parents?"

No matter how much he hated Ariana, as long as she was a Slytherin, Snape had to intervene in matters concerning her arrangements.

"Yes, our principal and vice-principal feel that they cannot communicate with you, so the parents of the four people involved need to be called in." Snape said calmly.

Ariana became conscious at the age of three months, while already in an orphanage and unaware of who her parents were.

After arriving at Hogwarts and being identified by the Sorting Hat, she only knew that her parents were ordinary people.

In this situation, where can she go to find her parents and come to school to face the professors' questions?

"But I don't have any parents. Do you want to call my lawyer? I don't mind, as long as you don't think it violates the Statute of Confidentiality." She looked at Snape speechlessly.

The school is well aware of her situation, so how could they even ask for her parents' help?

Of course the school knew about Ariana's situation, and this arrangement was intentional.

Snape said as a matter of course: "The professors of the school are not dark wizards, how could they possibly break the law? Your lawyer cannot come to Hogwarts, so I, the headmaster, will temporarily take over your guardianship."

After a moment's thought, Ariana understood Dumbledore's sinister intention.

She looked at Snape mockingly and asked knowingly, "Since you can't do anything to me, you have to find someone to make decisions for me, right?"

Snape was quite impressed by Dumbledore's brilliant idea.

"Yes, that's what our dear Headmaster Dumbledore meant." He admitted it directly, waiting to see what Ariana was going to do.

Ariana was very angry. Since she couldn't convince the child, she called the parents. When the original parent didn't work, she replaced her with another one, but this parent did not stand on her side.

"I remember saying that in the principal's office, what I said was meaningless. Even if Merlin came, it wouldn't work. It seems you didn't take my words to heart."

Ariana looked at Snape seriously, her tone already threatening.

Seeing this stupid little troll being humiliated, Snape felt very happy and a smile appeared on his face.

"No matter how Dumbledore punishes you, as your temporary guardian, I will accept it on your behalf." He said this calmly.

Seeing that the other party ignored her threat, Ariana didn't mind making her words more clearly.

"Perhaps I need to imitate Grindelwald and burn down the school before you will take my words seriously." She glared at Snape.

Hearing Ariana's threat, the smile on Snape's face disappeared instantly and he stared at her fiercely.

"If you dare to do this, I will make sure you die a very ugly death." He also looked at Ariana threateningly.

Although Professor Snape always scolded the students of the school as stupid little monsters, he loved the school very much in his heart. When he heard that Ariana wanted to burn down the school, he naturally could not remain calm.

Ariana didn't care about Snape's threat and reminded him, "Perhaps Professor Snape doesn't know that my investment company is very important in the UK."

"In order to protect my assets, if anything happens to me, the relevant situation will definitely be submitted to the cabinet. No one knows what will happen then."

It is now 1991, and there are only a handful of billionaires in London with assets worth over a billion.

Besides, Ariana is so young, her information has long been placed in the cabinet of the Cabinet Council.

If anything happened to her, Thompson would definitely not sit idly by, so the cabinet would definitely intervene in the investigation. She wanted to see how the wizarding world could continue to hide.

Snape looked at Ariana sternly and said in a cold voice: "It seems that I still underestimated you, a stupid little troll."

Not to be outdone, Ariana commented viciously: "Yes, a vicious black bat."

I don't know about others, but Snape must be a person who does not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. He clearly gave Ariana a nickname, and when he heard Ariana return the nickname, he could not accept it at all.

"Giving the professor a nickname will result in a point deduction from Slytherin." Snape never deducted points from Slytherin, which shows that his defense was broken this time.

Ariana didn't care about the damn house points at all. She even commented very viciously: "I think the system at Hogwarts is terrible. Why can only professors deduct points from students? Students should have a mechanism to rate professors."

"You can suggest this mechanism to Dumbledore when he's trying to figure you out."

Snape felt that it was a waste of time to continue arguing with Ariana, so he flicked the sleeves of his black robe and flew away like a bat.

When you can focus on what you like, time flies by quickly, and it’s Sunday night in the blink of an eye.

In the Room of Requirement, Draco looked at Ariana who was flipping through books frantically and felt a little puzzled.

Didn't she decide not to drop out of school? Why isn't she practicing magic and just reading books? And it's obvious that she's very unhappy.

"Hasn't you decided not to drop out of school? Why are you still frantically memorizing these books?" Draco looked at her with confusion.

Thinking of the many conflicts that had occurred since entering Hogwarts, Ariana couldn't help but sigh.
