But that's not the case with Slytherin. Not to mention the evil Ariana, everyone else has learned a few evil spells before school starts.

With the concerted efforts of the nine people, no one from Gryffindor could get close to them. Except for Harry who was disarmed, Ariana used binding spells on everyone else.

In just a few minutes, all twenty or so Gryffindor students were tied up and piled together.

Tom Riddle, who was secretly watching the battle, said excitedly in Quirrell's mind: "This little wizard's magical talent is amazing."

"You should contact her as soon as possible. After I am resurrected, you must keep her by your side and teach her well." There are not many young wizards with such a strong magical talent.

Chapter 28: Binding Spells for More Than 20 People

"Master, this won't work. School has only been going on for a few days and this Colin has already caused so much trouble."

"Dumbledore must be keeping an eye on her, not to mention Snape." Quirrell was very embarrassed by the Dark Lord's request.

Even though Snape described the little wizards as stupid monsters all day long, he was dedicated to the safety of Hogwarts, otherwise he would not have gained Dumbledore's trust.

Tom Riddle didn't care.

"You are a professor, so talk to her alone about teaching, or ask her if there is any common knowledge about magic that she doesn't understand." He thought it was normal for a professor to discuss magic issues with students.

"But Dumbledore just talked to me. If I contact Colin alone, it will definitely attract attention." Quirrell felt that it was very dangerous to contact Ariana.

The most important thing now is to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, let the Dark Lord leave his body quickly, and resurrect as soon as possible.

Tom Riddle was a little angry when he heard Quirrell repeatedly refute his proposal.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is my order. You should invite her to your office later and seduce her with some black magic." He said seriously.

Quirrell still wanted to struggle, trying to persuade his master, "But she can learn the Dark Arts on her own. I heard she used the Guillotines Curse against Snape."

In order to gain the Dark Lord's trust, he continued to explain the situation.

"Colin once said he had a detailed explanation of the Imperius Curse. Dumbledore would definitely not watch her continue to learn the Dark Arts. He would definitely keep a close eye on her."

Tom Riddle didn't want to waste time talking to him and said directly: "I said this is an order."

Seeing that the situation was no longer manageable, Quirrell could only accept his fate and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll resolve this situation first."

Quirrell now believed that Dumbledore was really troubled by this prickly little wizard, because he also felt a headache.

"Colin, how could you cast a spell on your classmates? Remove it quickly." Quirrell finally walked down from the podium.

Ariana thought Quirrell was just like the other professors and immediately accused him, "But they used them on me too, I just dodged them. Professors can't side with them out of sympathy. It's unfair."

Now it was Tom Riddle who was in charge of Quirrell's mind, and he certainly wouldn't be biased towards Gryffindor.

"I don't mean to take their side, I just ask you to let them go. We are in class now." Quirrell's tone was calm.

This was the first time since Ariana came to Hogwarts that she heard the professor not indiscriminately stand on the side of Gryffindor.

She didn't act as stubbornly as she did with Snape. She simply raised her wand and cast a spell at the piled-up Gryffindors.

The binding spells on more than 20 people were released at once.

Seeing Ron about to jump out and cause trouble again, Ariana really wanted to curse him.

It's so hard to find a fair professor, and Ariana doesn't want to give him any face.

"Professor, if they provoke me again, I won't be able to use the Binding Curse. It just so happens that I haven't found a suitable person to practice the Imperius Curse on." She deliberately looked at Ron and threatened him.

Just like the mention of Fiendfyre in Professor McGonagall's office, Ron was frightened and didn't dare to provoke Ariana again.

The Dark Lord couldn't help but feel proud when he heard Ariana express her longing for his own famous spell, but he still remembered that he was a professor and was teaching a class.

"The Ministry of Magic stipulates that using the three Unforgivable Curses is a crime. You don't want to challenge the law, do you?" he said seriously.

Ariana was just threatening Ron, and certainly didn't mean to use the Imperius Curse in class. No matter how arrogant she was, she knew the consequences of challenging the law, and she didn't want to go to Azkaban.

"I just said that. I hope they won't give me the chance." She shrugged.

Not only Ron, but every Gryffindor student was scared as a quail when they heard that Ariana was going to use the Imperius Curse.

They suddenly remembered that Ariana had a fight with Snape in the Potions classroom and had used dark magic, but they had not heard of any punishment from the school.

She broke the spell that bound more than 20 people with just one spell. I have never heard of anyone doing it before. Why would they provoke such a monster?

Although he had some disagreements with Quirrell just now, Tom Riddle also knew that some things could not be done too obviously.

"This matter is too serious for me to handle. I will report it to Professor McGonagall later and see how she will deal with you." He looked at Ariana in a businesslike manner.

But this attitude seemed normal to Ariana, so she didn't raise any thorns towards Quirrell.

But she was really scared by the professors at Hogwarts, and Ariana had to make things clear.

"Professor, remember to explain the details clearly when you report. I don't want to be like what happened just now. Weasley and Potter heard you crying in the bathroom because of something else and they put the blame on me."

She really admired the way Gryffindor thought. From top to bottom, there were few normal people.

After agreeing, Tom Riddle did not forget his purpose.

"I will report truthfully. I see that you use magic very well. Just now, you broke the binding spell on more than 20 people with just one spell."

"If there's a spell you want to learn but don't understand, you can come to my office." He looked at the little wizard in front of him with a loving face.

Ariana just felt that Professor Quirrell, who had returned to normal, had a normal way of thinking, but she did not have a good impression of him.

She had not forgotten the cause of the conflict, nor had she forgotten Professor Quirrell's indifference when the conflict had just occurred.

"Does the professor teach every spell?" Ariana looked at the other person provocatively.

Chapter 29 You Like Me

Tom Riddle smiled and shook his head and said, "Only those that comply with the laws and regulations can be taught."

He wanted to admit that anything could be taught, but he couldn't say that since they were in the classroom.

Ariana sneered in her heart. Even Draco could see that there was something wrong with this man getting better so quickly. How could Ariana, who had been in society for many years, not see it?

She's just not very good at dealing with people, not that she has any problems with her IQ.

"Then I still need to come to you to learn. The library has detailed explanations of spells that comply with laws and regulations." She looked at the other person speechlessly.

Tom Riddle is now the Dark Lord of the Cutting Board, and many of his emotions have been divided among the Horcruxes. He is now very emotional.

Hearing Ariana reject his invitation, he was slightly annoyed.

"The spell analysis in the library is just text descriptions. There's no professor's guidance on hand gestures, spell pronunciation, and magic output. How are you going to learn these?" he asked.

Ariana calmly reminded him, "How did the professor think I learned so many spells in just over a week?"

Tom Riddle was speechless because of her. No other professor could teach a young wizard so many spells in just one week of school, not to mention that she also knew dark magic.

So he followed Ariana's words and asked, "Where did you learn this spell? I heard you even used the gut-pulling curse."

Ariana didn't know how many times she had answered this question, so she just blurted out the all-purpose answer.

"I bought a lot of second-hand books in Diagon Alley, and many of the spells were written by the previous owners of the old books."

Tom Riddle didn't believe this, but of course, he didn't make the same mistake as Professor McGonagall and asked tentatively, "Can you show me those books?"

Those old books were just an excuse to appease the professors. How could she possibly agree to hand them over?

"No, you will definitely confiscate it after you look at it." She said as a matter of course.

When his request for the old book failed, Tom Riddle directly issued an invitation.

"Come to my office after dinner. I want to see how many spells you know."

Ariana immediately concluded that the professor had normal brain circuits, but his IQ was not very high.

"I won't go because this is my privacy and I have no obligation to satisfy your curiosity," she said unhappily.

Hearing the other party's straightforward rejection, Tom Riddle's thinking became abnormal.

"This is the professor's order, you must obey."

Ariana looked at him mockingly and said bluntly, "The professor is only responsible for teaching and has no right to interfere with my privacy."

"If you insist on knowing how many spells I know, then have the Ministry of Magic arrest me and torture me severely. See if I can hold out or if you can get the answers out of me."

Ariana was not afraid of the other party's threat at all, and she had already clenched the lightning wood wand in her hand.

Seeing this, Tom Riddle felt that if he continued to pester the woman, he might end up like Snape, so he immediately changed his attitude.

"Not really, I just want to know how your studies are going."

Ariana said sarcastically, "That requires me to be willing to tell you, not for you to order me to tell you. There is an essential difference. Don't try to fool me."

After McGonagall, Dumbledore and Snape, Ariana offended another professor, and of course, there was also the Dark Lord above this professor.

"You ungrateful brat, if you could give him a book on dark magic and lure him to you, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted."

After giving his body to Professor Quirrell, Tom Riddle was still complaining in his mind.

The Dark Lord thought of his own student days. At that time, whenever he learned a dark magic, he would try his best to learn it until he mastered it.

When he knew which family had powerful books on black magic, he would go to great lengths to contact them and would not give up until he achieved his goal. He was completely different from Ariana who was stubborn and unyielding.

Not only Dumbledore saw his own shadow in Ariana, but Tom Riddle also saw it, which is why he cared so much about Ariana.

It suddenly occurred to me that he still didn't know Ariana's ancestry.

"By the way, is she a pure-blood little wizard?" he asked Quirrell.

Quirrell replied, "I heard that her parents died when she was very young. She thought she was a Muggle, but after entering Hogwarts she found out that her parents left her the golden key to Gringotts."

As news of Ariana's fight with the Weasley twins spread, so did her version of life.

"No wonder he has such a high talent for magic, he's a pure-blood." Tom Riddle said with a look of astonishment.

Of course, his face was now on the back of Quirrell's head.

Even if she hadn't refused Quirrell's invitation, there was no way Ariana would go to his office after dinner.

Because Ariana was called to see Dumbledore, Draco had no chance to go with her this time.

Before Ariana left, Draco grabbed her and made a suggestion.

"If your parents really need to be called, I can discuss it with my mother and ask her to help you. If I really let Snape represent you, I'm afraid he will agree to whatever punishment the school wants. My mother definitely won't do that."

He thought this idea was quite reliable.

Ariana frowned and asked, "But we are just classmates. Will the school agree to let your mother come forward on my behalf?"

Draco thought about it carefully and came up with a remedy.

"How about you be my girlfriend, then we won't just be classmates, and my mother can represent you." He said as if it was a matter of course.

Ariana is not a real 11-year-old child. Although she was a single in her previous life, her experience is there.

"You like me?" She looked at Draco in shock.

Chapter 30: Replacing My Family

Draco doesn't have a previous life like Ariana. He is a pure 11-year-old kid. Even if Westerners mature early, it is impossible for them to become smart at this age.

"I mean, we're pretending to be together. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know that we're just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend."

He said this as a matter of course, not thinking it would hurt Ariana at all.

In her previous life, Ariana was always thinking about how to prolong her life, so she had no time to care about her love life.

She had been a child all her life, and her adrenaline probably hadn't developed yet, so she certainly wasn't angry at Draco's direct rejection.

"Will this work?" She looked at Draco doubtfully.

The definitions of immediate family members seem to be different between China and the West, and she is not sure whether her boyfriend's mother can replace her own family.

Draco had been thinking about this idea for several days and he thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"Is it okay? Give it a try first, or Professor Snape will have to accept the school's punishment on your behalf. You've done so many things, you might even have your wand broken and be expelled."

"That would be fine, but it would be terrible if I sent you to Azkaban." He didn't want to visit his friend in prison.

Ariana felt that Draco lacked legal knowledge. How could she have committed so many crimes? And she was not the main person responsible for the conflict.

"I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. Even though I've been told several times that I want to learn the Imperius Curse, I haven't learned it yet. Why would I go to Azkaban?" She looked at Draco speechlessly.

"Do you think Dumbledore is such a fair and selfless person?"

"I heard from my grandfather's portrait that when the You-Know-Who was studying at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was jealous of him because of his great talent, and Dumbledore often targeted him." Draco looked certain.
