"But no one has your magical talent." Draco retorted.

Ariana didn't dwell on this issue. She had threatened him anyway, and she would talk about the punishment after it was announced. So she talked to Draco about magic.

"I find it very strange. You said that human internal organs are the same, and there is no difference between eyes, noses, and ears. Why is my magic power so strong and yours so weak?" She frowned and thought.

Draco immediately retorted, "My magic isn't weak either, okay."

Ariana frowned and grumbled back, "But you couldn't even knock the wolf down when you used the Disarming Spell on it."

Since deciding not to drop out of school, Ariana took up the task of teaching Draco magic.

After trying a few dark spells, she found Draco's wand quite repulsive.

So Ariana changed her mind and asked Draco to learn conventional offensive magic, the most practical of which was the Disarming Spell.

After all, when fighting against a wizard, if you disarm his wand, you will be invincible. Anyway, there are not many wizards who can cast spells without a wand.

But Draco took several days to learn it, and the strength of his spell was still weak.

Draco did not accept this accusation.

"The target of the Disarming Charm must be armed, yet you're asking me to use it on an unarmed gray wolf. What are you asking me to disarm? Its teeth? Or its claws?"

Ariana practiced all the spells she taught Draco beforehand, so she retorted, "But I can use it. Didn't you see that gray wolf die from my Disarming Charm?"

Ariana's magic power is very strong, and the disarming spell cast by Draco is weak.

She looked angry, and when she was demonstrating, she didn't control the strength well, and the gray wolf was killed by her.

Draco had so much to complain about Ariana's unconventional behavior.

"Other people use the Disarming Spell to seize the opponent's weapon, and the knocking-down effect is just incidental. But you used the Disarming Spell as a Knock-Down Spell." He frowned beautifully.

Ariana did not accept this complaint. She felt that her understanding of spells was deeper than Draco's, and Draco should listen to her.

"Since it has this effect, it proves that it is in this spell. You have to feel the distribution of magic power yourself." She tried to teach Draco again.

"I don't feel the partition you're talking about." Draco shook his head.

Ariana frowned and retorted, "Impossible. We're all wizards. There must be something missing. I have to come up with a special method to train you."

Even before entering the magical world, Ariana could use her magic as easily as using her hands. She really couldn't understand why Draco was struggling so much.

Seeing Ariana's face full of disappointment, Draco continued to complain: "Don't even mention me, even that famous savior, ask him to learn a disarming spell in four days and show you."

He just didn't believe that Porter had the ability to learn so quickly. It was simply because Ariana's standards were too high.

Ariana could of course hear what Draco was complaining about. She shook her head and said, "Why are you comparing yourself to someone weaker than you? Your comparison is to me."

"No, you can never be my comparison object." Draco shook his head firmly.

"You can't become a strong man like this." Ariana advised him to think again.

Seeing some of his friends who were determined to give up, Draco felt a little scared. He said weakly, "Didn't you say you would protect me? So you don't have to be strong, right?"

Ariana looked at him seriously, "It seems that you have already prepared yourself to be a weakling. Don't forget that not everyone stands with you like I do."

Looking at the unshakable Draco, Ariana thought for a moment and decided to use provocation.

"Although I've tried to prove that Potter is not a fool, he must have something special about him to be chosen as the savior. What if he explodes in the future and his magical abilities surpass yours?"

Not only did Snape know that Draco only had Quidditch and Potter on his mind, but Ariana, who was with him day and night, could of course see it too.

As expected, Draco jumped to his feet when he heard that Potter might be better than him.

"impossible."

Ariana shrugged. "Don't put your hopes on others. Strengthening your own strength is the only way."

Draco said somewhat dejectedly, "But I just have a hard time learning."

After teaching Draco for a week, Ariana certainly knew his progress and she thought she could change her approach slightly.

"I'll study the theory for a while to see what the problem is. I think there should be a way to enhance your magical power." She said it easily.

But to Draco this was undoubtedly a fantasy.

"I don't think it's possible. This kind of magical power is innate. Otherwise, why has Hogwarts only produced wizards as powerful as Dumbledore and the You-Know-Who in its nearly 900-year history?" He said with determination.

Ariana said nonchalantly: "I won't let others tell me it's impossible. I will find the answer myself, even if the final result is still impossible."

Giving up before trying is not her life creed.

Seeing that Ariana looked like she couldn't be pulled back even by ten bulls, Draco had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, I'll study with you. I'm the president of the Quick Magic Club." And Ariana is his good friend.

When this matter was mentioned, Ariana felt a little unhappy. She tentatively said, "If I had known that I couldn't drop out of school, I shouldn't have given you the position of president. I also want to be the president."

Not only is her magic not as strong as Ariana's, but if Draco gave up the position of president to her, he might not even have the face to be friends with her.

"Then you will be the vice president." He only gave Ariana this choice.

Seeing that Draco refused to give in, Ariana complained, "It's really infuriating. I was the one who proposed the establishment of this magic club, I chose the name, I even found the venue, and yet in the end, I'm not the president."

Seeing Ariana being humiliated, Draco's self-confidence, which had been hit by magic, was restored, and he even showed a handsome smile.

In this matter, he still felt a little sorry for Ariana. He thought about it and said, "To make up for your loss, I will convince my father to buy your big villa. Is that okay?"

"Aren't you afraid of your father anymore?" Ariana looked at him in surprise.

Draco shrugged, "You already said you would take me in if my father kicked me out of the house. What should I be afraid of?"

Ariana gave him a thumbs up and even painted a big picture for him in order to make the deal a success.

"That's very loyal. If you can convince your father to buy my villa, I will buy you the latest model flying broom."

When a large sum of gold Galleons comes in, Ariana will no longer have any worries, so the agency fee must be paid.

Chapter 43: The Magical World

The next day, Draco wrote about his relationship with Ariana in a letter and sent it out. Unexpectedly, Lucius came to Hogwarts directly on the third day.

Although Ariana's promise to take him in was a guarantee, Draco grew up under the tyranny of his father. When he heard that his father was in the godfather's office, he still felt subconsciously afraid.

Looking at her friend's anxious face, Ariana resisted the urge to criticize him and suggested, "If you're really scared, I'll go with you."

Although Draco was moved, he still had his wits about him.

"But my dad only asked me to be the godfather. If I take you with me, he might be even angrier." He shook his head helplessly at Ariana.

Considering what Draco had learned from his father, if he were to go to Professor Snape's office looking so cowardly, the consequences would be disastrous.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't the worst outcome that he'll kick you out? Then you can live directly in my house. I'll provide you with luxury cars, mansions, the finest clothes, the best chefs, and everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation." Ariana promised generously, patting her chest.

Besides the fact that Draco was her friend, Ariana felt that his common sense of magic could help her, and it would definitely be worthwhile to take him in.

In the end, fear overcame reason, and Draco accepted Ariana's kindness.

"Okay, I'll take you with me." Although Ariana was by his side to give him courage, he still showed an expression of being willing to sacrifice himself.

Those who knew thought he was going to see his father, while those who didn’t thought he was going to the guillotine.

In order to ease Draco's nervousness, Ariana jokingly asked, "Are you really going to take me with you?"

Draco thought Ariana was unwilling to go, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to my dad about the villa in person?"

"You just promised yesterday to persuade your father to buy my villa, and today you let me negotiate on my own?" Ariana reminded him while trying to suppress a smile.

Draco looked at her seriously and forced, "Then you just said you could go with me."

"Okay, coward Draco." Ariana couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Draco then realized that Ariana was teasing him and said unhappily, "You can't complain about me like that when there are people around."

"Well, brave Draco who needs encouragement." Ariana shrugged.

"Gryffindor is known for its bravery, I'm a Slytherin." Draco didn't want to be known for his courage.

Although the atmosphere between Ariana and Draco improved a lot due to a few jokes, it was not as relaxed and happy as before. At the same time, the atmosphere in Professor Snape's office was not very good either.

Lucius came out of the fireplace and questioned Snape when he saw him: "You said you would take good care of Draco. Less than two weeks into school, he found an orphan as his girlfriend. What's going on?"

In addition to Draco's letter, Lucius also received one from Pansy. This letter was full of slander against Ariana, and the focus was on orphans.

Snape didn't want to take this responsibility. He said unhappily, "I can't always tie him to me. He made this decision without telling you. Do you think he will tell me?"

Seeing Lucius's suspicious look, Snape snorted and declared, "Don't doubt Dumbledore and me. We don't want him to be with that thorny little troll."

Electrical appliances are not allowed in Hogwarts, and outsiders cannot enter without the school's permission. All communication depends on the Scottish Fat Chicken, so the flow of information is naturally not very timely.

Although Draco repeatedly promised to write home often at the beginning of the school year, he did write often, but his letters never mentioned the conflict between Ariana and the school.

This resulted in Lucius being completely unaware of the thrilling daily fights his son had been going through over the past week.

Lucius was about to ask the prickly troll what he meant when there was a knock on the door and Snape went to open it.

Seeing the two people standing outside, Snape looked at Ariana seriously and questioned, "I remember only asking someone to call Draco. Miss Colin, your homework was exempted. What kind of magical genius is this? I don't think you have anything to consult me ​​about."

In Hogwarts courses, as long as you can meet the professor's requirements, you can basically be exempted from homework. It has been almost two weeks since school started, and Ariana has not done any homework yet, which shows how good her magical talent is.

Ariana ignored Snape's cold face and answered seriously, "Draco wants to buy my big villa outside London, but he doesn't dare to tell his father, so I came here in person to discuss business with Mr. Malfoy."

How could such a statement possibly fool Snape, a double agent? He immediately retorted, "Hogwarts is a place to learn magic. What we want to discuss today is Draco's education."

The implication is that this is not the place to do business.

Lucius had been watching there for a while, and when he heard her conversation with Snape, he immediately became interested in Ariana.

"Severus, since Miss Colin is here, and Draco's education issues also involve her, let her come in and talk. Not only does Miss Colin want to see me, I also want to see her." Lucius said.

As Ariana and Draco entered the office, Lucius finally got a clear look at her appearance.

The girl was very beautiful. Her hair was even lighter than that of the Malfoy family. Her face was crystal clear and her eyes had a hint of sharpness. She was indeed much more beautiful than the little witch from the British pure-blood family.

Could it be that Draco was dating her because she was pretty? Thinking of his son who only had Quidditch on his mind, Lucius gave up the idea.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person." After entering the office, Ariana smiled and complimented Lucius, saying, "Look, Professor Snape, you're the only one who's always looking down on everyone. Mr. Malfoy is the backbone of the wizarding family and his manners are impeccable."

Snape sneered, "Stupid little troll."

But in my heart, I was thinking, if Lucius hadn't just found out from me that you were a pure-blood wizard, he wouldn't have been polite to you.

Seeing that Lucius was just looking at her without saying anything, Ariana could only take the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Malfoy, I've heard a lot about you. You and Draco really look alike. You're both so handsome."

Because Snape had not yet told him the whole story, and Lucius was still wondering why his son was with her, he did not take the initiative to talk to Ariana.

"Miss Colin is worthy of being a pure-blood wizard. By the way, I only had time to ask Severus about your ancestry, but not your family. If I remember correctly, no matter which country, there seems to be no pure-blood wizard family with the surname Colin." Lucius asked.

Ariana had lied about her identity countless times. She was not panicked even when facing Dumbledore, let alone Lucius.

"I always thought I was a little wizard of Muggle origin. The day I met Draco, he said I looked like a pure-blood wizard. I also learned from him the function of the Gringotts golden key. Only then did I confirm my identity. As for my last name, I took the last name of my foster family." Ariana explained.

The implication is that this is not her biological parents' last name, which is indeed the case, because Colin is the last name of the director of the orphanage where Ariana lives.

Lucius asked again after hearing this: "Then your parents didn't leave any other clues?"

"No, they just left me some things and put an education fund for me in a Muggle bank." Ariana answered calmly.

Just like Draco had guessed, Lucius also believed that Ariana's parents must have died in the Second Wizarding War.

"It's possible that they live in a Muggle community, so after the accident, you were handed over to a foster family." He guessed, touching his chin.

Ariana didn't want to continue the topic, so she said, "Talking about my parents is a bit sad, so let's talk about Draco wanting to live in London."

"What? He wants to live in London where Muggles are everywhere?" Lucius looked at Draco in shock.

My well-behaved and obedient son has only been in school for two weeks and he has already lost the pride of his pure-blood family?

Hearing his father's stern voice, Draco didn't dare to speak at all and hid behind Ariana.

Ariana, however, was undaunted. She met Lucius's gaze and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's almost the 21st century. Britain is developing rapidly. The most luxurious houses have bedrooms so spacious you could even play Quidditch, and they even have separate bathrooms that are completely silent."

Lucius immediately realized who had led his son astray, and his attitude towards Ariana took a sharp turn for the worse.

"The Ministry of Magic has enacted the Statute of Secrecy, and Muggles are not allowed to discover our identities as wizards." He looked at the little girl in front of him coldly.

Ariana didn't expect that her friendly attitude would be met with disgust from the other party, and Lucius's words also made her speechless. The values ​​of the wizarding world were really ridiculous.

"So wizarding families are bound by a statute of secrecy, afraid to keep up with the times and own luxury houses and cars, and even stop doing business in the ordinary world, firmly staying as turtles in the increasingly shrinking wizarding world?" She looked at Lucius with a mocking expression.

Since the other party didn't want to get along with her in a friendly manner, Ariana felt that there was no need to greet him with a smile.
