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

"I feel very uncomfortable staying in Hogwarts. Maybe one day I will reach my limit and have to give up my Thunder Block Wand. Then I will still have to drop out of school, so I should learn more." There was a hint of pessimism in her tone.

"But how can you cast spells without a wand?" Draco looked at her in disbelief.

Ariana replied as a matter of course, "Can't you cast spells without a wand? I borrowed a book on wand-making from the library. I don't believe I can't make one myself."

Although thunder blocks are rare, they can be bought with money. As for snake nerves, she doesn't believe that she can't find many rare snakes to experiment with.

Although the second wand is not as compatible as the first wand, it should be usable if the materials are the same.

Draco vaguely understood why Ariana was unhappy.

"Are you unhappy about the school's punishment for you? But it's been two days and I haven't heard the outcome. Maybe they won't punish you." He comforted Ariana.

Since she was mentally prepared to lose her wand, Ariana was certainly not unhappy about it.

Looking at Draco's delicate features, tall stature, and confident expression, he is obviously a child from a wealthy family and nurtured by loving parents.

Maybe it was because they had similar values. Although they had not been together for long, Ariana was already very close to Draco, so she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.

Chapter 24: It is impossible to create something out of thin air

"Maybe it's because I grew up with no worries about food and clothing, so I used to think that not having parents was no different from other people."

"But Dumbledore wants to invite the parents, and you all have someone who can come forward, but I don't. I feel empty inside." Ariana murmured.

Draco was not very good at dealing with this kind of problem. He tried hard to think of various solutions, and finally an idea flashed in his mind.

"How about asking my mother to help you?" he asked tentatively.

Ariana rejected the proposal without a second thought.

"They all know that I don't have parents, and several professors know your mother. We are just classmates. On what grounds would your mother come forward to help me?" She shook her head.

Draco also found this problem a bit tricky, so he used his own way of solving the problem to enlighten Ariana.

"Don't think about these bad things. Let's talk about something happy, like the flying lesson on Thursday. You have never ridden a broom before, so I can teach you then." Draco's face lit up with excitement when he mentioned the broom.

The flying lessons were not held last week due to weather conditions, so this Thursday was their first time to take the class.

Draco was no match for Ariana in all the courses at Hogwarts, but he was full of confidence in the flying class, after all, the other party had never touched a flying broom.

"Talking about this topic will only make you happy, and I don't like sitting on a broom." Ariana looked at him speechlessly.

Draco felt that no one disliked a broomstick, so he said confidently, "I thought it was strange before I rode it, but after you try it, you'll understand how great it feels, believe me."

Ariana didn't know what Thursday's flying lesson would be like because it was only Sunday.

Although Madam Pince did not refuse her entry to the library, they had an argument after all. She only went to the library to borrow a few basic alchemy books and did not stay there to read.

After borrowing the book, Ariana took Draco to the Room of Requirement.

This time she was the one who opened the door, thinking of a room suitable for elementary alchemy. To be more precise, she also carefully imagined the materials she would need.

After entering, they both fell silent as they looked at the scattered alchemical materials in the room.

Draco asked hesitantly, "Did you think clearly about the materials you needed when you opened the door?"

"Of course I've thought it through. Do you want me to recite it to you?"

Ariana found it hard to accept this reality. With only so many alchemical materials, how could she learn alchemy?

Before Draco could actually confirm it with her, Ariana's doubts became more and more obvious.

"Don't you think it's strange that most of the objects we need to practice dark magic are living things, and the Room of Requirement can even create them for us?"

"But alchemical materials are all inanimate objects. Although there are some, they are missing something here and there. What's the principle behind this?" Ariana didn't expect Draco to answer her.

There were indeed materials suitable for elementary alchemy in the room, but they were either missing this or that, and those materials were either old or very dirty, obviously leftovers from others.

"Even though it's the Room of Requirement, it can't produce anything. You tried it last time, but it couldn't produce gold Galleons." Draco looked at her speechlessly.

Ariana, who was short of money, wanted to try whether the Room of Requirement could produce gold Galleons.

The result disappointed her. She opened the door with her mind full of gold galleons, but there was nothing in the room.

Ariana touched her chin and guessed, "I have a guess now. Everything that appears in the Room of Requirement belongs to the scope of Hogwarts. The animals we use for dark magic practice should be from the Forbidden Forest."

The premise is that these things are ownerless.

There are so many students and professors in Hogwarts, and they all have money, but the Room of Requirement cannot produce gold Galleons.

Draco looked at Ariana in shock and asked, "You mean, this Room of Requirement can mobilize anything from within Hogwarts at will?"

"That's my guess. After all, things can't be created out of thin air. They can only be transferred from other places." She nodded and admitted the guess.

"Since the alchemical materials are not complete, do you still plan to learn?" Draco looked at her.

Ariana replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I have to learn, but that won't happen until after Christmas. Then I'll go home and collect some information and check my vault at Gringotts. If there are any gold Galleons, I'll buy them myself."

Draco couldn't help but smile when he thought of Ariana using the Room of Requirement to conjure up gold Galleons.

"What if there are no Galleons in the vault?" he asked amusedly.

Ariana shrugged, feeling that this was not a problem for her. She said, "Wizards have existed for centuries. The Statute of Secrecy was not enacted until the 17th century. Wizards don't need pounds, but they must need other things from the ordinary world."

"Then I'll take what I need to the wizarding world and sell it. If your father is willing to buy my big villa, I won't have to investigate what the wizarding world needs." She still looked regretful that the transaction could not go through.

"But I don't dare mention this to my father." Draco felt a little guilty about this matter.

Ariana rolled her eyes at him and complained angrily, "Shouldn't the school invite our parents to talk about our fight? I'll talk to him in person then, you coward."

Draco was not without temper, and he immediately retorted angrily: "Hey, who are you calling a coward?"

After being together for so long, the two have already established an emotional foundation. A small dispute does not affect their relationship. Ariana is not afraid of Draco's cold face at all.

"Who else could it be? I see you're afraid of a lot of people. Not only are you afraid of Dumbledore, you're even afraid of your godfather. It's just about buying a villa, but you don't even dare to tell your father about it." She looked at Draco with contempt.

Draco totally disagreed with this.

"What do you mean by just buying a villa? It's over 260 million gold Galleons. You can ask around in Slytherin to see which family can buy it so easily?" He looked at Ariana speechlessly.

Ariana is not only dissatisfied with the various problems at Hogwarts, but also has various complaints about many rules in the wizarding world, especially her understanding of the Statute of Secrecy.

"I think you've all been fooled by the Statute of Secrecy. That law is about not exposing yourself to Muggles, not about stopping business." She complained speechlessly.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic stipulates that magic cannot be exposed in the ordinary world, so these magical families really refuse to do business in the ordinary world.

How come he is so obedient? He doesn’t have the Western bandit nature at all.

Since alchemy couldn't be accomplished, Ariana and Draco planned to leave, and Draco would open the Room of Requirement and then enter the room full of books on dark magic.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them went out, they were blocked at the door by the Weasley twins and Hermione.

Chapter 25 Why aren’t you angry?

The Room of Requirement and the Headmaster's office are both on the eighth floor, and the Gryffindor Common Room is on the seventh.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ariana would cast an invisibility spell on Draco and herself every time she went upstairs.

Being so careful, the two thought they wouldn't be discovered, but they didn't expect to be blocked so quickly.

"So there's a secret room here. I said they disappeared here, but it's not shown on the map." George looked at Ariana and Draco excitedly.

After the people came out, the door of the Room of Requirement was immediately closed, and the twin brothers could only marvel at the restored wall.

"The Gryffindor common room is on the seventh floor. We are already in our third year, and we didn't even realize there was such a secret room upstairs." Fred was also quite surprised.

Ariana and Draco were blocked and were startled, but they quickly calmed down.

Because they knew from Abby that the Room of Requirement could open different rooms.

But it actually only has one room, which means that if there is someone inside, people outside cannot open it.

In this case, the Weasley brothers and Hermione have no idea how to open the Room of Requirement, and their secret base has not been exposed.

Ariana took the initiative and looked at the three people and said, "It seems that you have a map that can show the location of others. What do you want from us? Do you want to fight again?"

George no longer had the anger he had when he lost his wand that day, and looked at Ariana in surprise.

"It seems the name of genius is well-deserved. We just let it slip, and you actually guessed that we have a map showing people's locations."

Ariana knew that if they told anyone that she and Draco had entered the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore would definitely guess that she had learned the Dark Arts there.

She hasn't finished reading the books in it yet.

So he threatened them with the map, saying, "You know, this kind of map violates everyone's privacy. I must report it to the principal."

The Weasley twins are not Dumbledore, so of course they couldn't imagine that Ariana learned the dark magic from this Chamber of Secrets.

When he heard that she was going to report the map matter to the principal, he immediately became anxious.

"We're here to apologize to you. We caused trouble for you that day without asking clearly. Hermione has already told us what happened." George looked at them sincerely.

Fred also said in a pleading tone: "For the sake of our sincere apology, please don't report to Dumbledore that we have such a map, okay?"

"What kind of map? Take it out and show it to us." Ariana asked with a serious face.

In order to keep this prank artifact, the Weasley brothers had no choice but to accept Ariana's threat, take out the Marauder's Map, and demonstrate how to use it.

"When you want to open it, use the spell 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good'. When you're done, use 'Mischief Ended'. This is the Marauder's Map, for pranks only."

George was holding the map himself, obviously afraid that Draco and the others would snatch it away.

Ariana, who didn't know what was going on, looked at the two in surprise and asked, "You invented this, you're pretty good, huh?"

George shook his head and explained, "We're only in our third year, and Alchemy isn't an elective until our sixth year. We discovered this in a chamber of secrets at Hogwarts."

Thinking that Ariana and Draco had just come out of the wall, Fred asked curiously, "What's in the secret room you just entered?"

The brothers found many secret passages in Hogwarts, but they didn't find anything good there.

They found this Marauder's Map in Filch's office.

Ariana did not answer the Weasley brothers' questions, but began to integrate the information.

I just heard the twins use the Marauder's Map, and they both said they don't know alchemy.

There are four people who created this magic item. She has never heard of it before. Since there are now powerful alchemy students in Hogwarts, it can only be left by former seniors.

Ariana immediately made a judgment in her mind.

"This shouldn't have been obtained from a secret chamber, but found in Filch's office. How dare you steal something?" She looked at the two brothers with a firm expression.

"How do you know this again?" Fred looked at Ariana in shock.

Ariana didn't want to pay attention to these Gryffindors. She said unhappily, "Now that you've apologized, can we leave now?"

"You haven't said whether you can reconcile or not." Fred was anxious.

"Why are you here to apologize? What's your purpose?" Although Ariana asked this, she already understood their intention.

As she expected, George explained, "We thought that if we told Professor McGonagall that we had reconciled, the school wouldn't call the parents."

The fight had taken place on Friday afternoon, and now it was Sunday evening, and the Weasley brothers had not received the howler letter from their mother, proving that Hogwarts had not yet notified their family.

They wanted to reconcile with Ariana before this and accept the punishment resignedly, so that the school would definitely not call the parents.

Ariana then realized that she was not the only one who was distressed about being called as the parent, but the Weasley brothers had also been worried for two days.

Thinking of the cause of this conflict, Ariana looked at the silent Hermione and asked, "You don't want to be called the parent either?"

When Hermione knew that the Weasley brothers were coming to reconcile with Ariana, she hesitated for a long time before suggesting that they come along.

Although she likes to show off and meddle in other people's affairs, she is still a good person. This incident was caused by her, so she felt that she had to step forward to resolve it.

"I'm sorry, Colin. I shouldn't have run back to Gryffindor crying that day. Senior Weasley asked me, and I shouldn't have said nothing, causing them to misunderstand and leading to your fight." Hermione's apology was sincere.

But she never mentioned Draco, because Hermione was always upset about Draco calling her "Mudblood".

Ariana ignored her apology and continued to ask: "I'm asking why you don't want to be called the parent?"

"My parents are ordinary people. They will definitely be scared when they come to Hogwarts." Hermione answered without thinking.

Hearing the answer she expected, Ariana sneered and asked, "You're not scared at all. They're adults, how could they be scared? Isn't it because you feel inferior to your Muggle-born self?"

Hermione raised her head and looked directly at Ariana, angrily questioning her: "What do you mean?"

Ariana certainly didn't care about Hermione's attitude. She asked bluntly, "Draco called you a 'mudblood' that day, so you were very angry. Why? Is it because you feel inferior to yourself and think you are a 'mudblood'?"

"I don't have an inferiority complex," Hermione shouted back at the accusation.

Ariana looked at Hermione with a mocking expression, sneering at her superficial strength.

"If you don't have any inferiority complex, why are you afraid of having your parents called? They are adults, and they are your parents. If they were in the Muggle world, would you be afraid of having them called to school?" Each question hit home.
