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

Ariana suddenly understood. "So you're so worried about your dad cutting off your pocket money because you're afraid others will know that you've fallen out with your family?"

Seeing that Ariana didn't know about this, Draco could only analyze the real problem for her.

"Do you think the reason why I am so respected in Slytherin is because of my magic? Your magic is much better than mine, but your reputation is not as great as mine." He pointed out the difference.

Ariana snorted and commented, "There are only about 10,000 people in the magical world. I don't know what they're fighting about."

Draco was already used to Ariana's disdain for the magical world, and he didn't mind. He just said, "This is the environment. You can't always look at wizards with a Muggle way of thinking."

Indeed, changing one's environment doesn't happen overnight, and appropriate concessions are necessary. She nodded and said, "Okay, then you can lend me your owl and have it deliver a letter to my lawyer. I'll have my lawyer send you candies regularly, and I'll ask him to tear off the labels."

"Just do it, luckily you are here." Draco looked relieved.

After resolving his family problems, Draco resumed his arrogant self, especially since the next day was Thursday and the flying lesson he had been looking forward to was about to begin.

The next morning, at the dining table in the auditorium, Draco took two bodyguards with him to brag about his flying skills. The others complimented him due to the power of the Malfoy family, but Ariana looked at him speechlessly.

Draco felt something was missing when he didn't get a response from his friend. He pulled Ariana and said, "I can definitely teach you to be a top-notch pilot. Believe me."

Ariana pulled her hand back and complained to him expressionlessly, "You've said this for the eighth time, and only today."

Draco ignored Ariana's silence and said excitedly, "Haven't you ever ridden a broom before? I'm just worried that you won't be able to do it and you'll be embarrassed in front of everyone."

Unable to bear it any longer, and not wanting to embarrass him in public, Ariana decided to divert the blame and pointed at Gryffindor and said, "There seems to be something going on over there with Potter. Why don't you go check it out?"

It seemed that the owl had just brought something to Neville. Since Neville definitely couldn't lure Draco away, Ariana could only use Harry's name.

Draco was fooled and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Thinking that she had just threatened Gryffindor, Ariana was afraid that something might happen to Draco, so she reminded him, "Take your followers with you, or you'll get beaten up by the crowd."

After Draco left with two bodyguards, Blaise couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Draco is quite interesting, but sometimes he is really unbearable, especially when he talks about Quidditch, and now there is Potter."

In the pure-blood circle, Blaise and Draco have always been competing secretly. He only talked to Ariana at the opening party because he was bored. Later, when he saw how powerful she was, he had the idea of ​​replacing Draco. Unfortunately, Ariana didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Let him go find Potter to vent his energy. If he keeps talking about Quidditch, I'm afraid he'll hate this sport." Ariana shrugged.

Just after finishing a piece of steak, Ariana saw Draco and Potter arguing. Before she could stand up to see what was going on, Professor McGonagall went over first.

Blaise said with amusement, "Professor McGonagall probably went there so quickly because she was afraid you would have to deal with it."

Last time, Draco also felt that she would pull out her wand at any time. She frowned and asked, "Is my reputation at Hogwarts so bad now?"

Blaise pointed at the other houses and Slytherin seniors and said with a smile: "Look, apart from us Slytherin first-years who have to deal with you, do other people dare to look you in the eye?"

Ariana was speechless after hearing this and complained, "I'm not a murderer. I didn't provoke any of these conflicts. Why are you all like this?"

"The problem is not who provoked you, but your strength is beyond everyone's reach, so you become an outlier." This is the main reason why Blaise wants to be Ariana's friend.

Ariana wasn't stupid. How could she not sense whether someone was sincere towards her? This was also the reason why she didn't want to bother with Blaise.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts." This sentence can be applied not only to different races, but also to different groups.

Although Ariana and the other little wizards are all human, her abilities are beyond everyone's psychological tolerance, and no one regards her as one of the same kind.

"Draco doesn't treat me as an alien. I guess I can't laugh at him for being timid so often in the future." It might not be easy to make friends in the future.

Ariana had just accepted the reality that she would be feared, but this conclusion was quickly overturned because after Draco came back and sat down, Cedric and Lucas came over to Slytherin and took the initiative to talk to her.

"Ariana, would you like to talk to us alone?" Cedric looked at her sincerely.

If it was before the incident in the auditorium yesterday, Ariana might have easily accepted Cedric and Lucas's advances, but at this moment she subconsciously looked towards the teachers' seats. As she expected, the old man who loved candy was looking over here.

"If Dumbledore asked you to come, then let's not talk about it. After all, school has been starting for almost two weeks. If you see me, just pretend you didn't see me." Ariana looked at the two handsome guys unhappily.

Who isn’t a little princess?

Cedric was confused and said doubtfully, "It was indeed Dumbledore who asked us to come. What's the problem with that? We have something very important to tell you."

Whether it was the location of the kitchen or knowing about the Room of Requirement from Abby, Ariana owed a favor to Cedric and Lucas, and she didn't want to make things too awkward with them.

She nodded and said, "Okay, where should we go to talk?"

Besides loving to eat, Hufflepuff students also love to play. Lucas suggested, "How about taking a walk by the Black Lake? I know there's a place to sit, and the view is nice too."

Ariana didn't care where they went, they could even talk in the auditorium, but since the other person said they wanted to be where there was no one, she didn't mind.

Ariana turned to Draco and said, "Please take my books to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. I will go there myself later."

"Don't be late. Professor Quirrell is quite powerful now. He always calls your name. You can't fool him."

Draco certainly didn't mind helping his friends, but he looked at the two Hufflepuff seniors with disdain.

Not only Cedric and Lucas felt uncomfortable with Draco's look, Ariana also frowned, but she still didn't say anything about Draco in public.

She nodded and reminded Draco, "The two seniors also have to attend classes. How could they be delayed for so long?"

Because she was obsessed with the dark magic of the Room of Requirement, Ariana had not had a proper tour of Hogwarts, and naturally had never been to the Black Lake. As a Slytherin, she saw the bottom of the lake every day.

During the day, the Black Lake sparkles in the sunlight, and the water appears a deep blue-green. The lakeshore in the distance is surrounded by lush trees, which are reflected on the water surface, forming a tranquil and beautiful picture.

It’s a pity that the atmosphere of the conversation between the three beautiful little wizards by the Black Lake was not very beautiful.

"If it's an apology, then forget it. After all, who you want to talk to is a personal choice." Ariana set the tone for the conversation.

Chapter 49 Can You Promise Me One Thing?

Lucas didn't think it was a big deal that Ariana didn't talk to her after she entered Slytherin. Cedric felt a little guilty, but he was always persuaded by Lucas.

Plus, he wasn't firm enough, and everyone thought they would drift apart completely, but Dumbledore gave him the courage to find Ariana.

"You told us before that you didn't know your bloodline, and Slytherin cares a lot about this. We thought your situation there must be difficult. If you continue to associate with us Hufflepuffs, the situation may get worse. That's why we didn't say hello when we saw you." Lucas didn't have so much psychological burden and directly stated what he thought was the reason.

Ariana chuckled and said bluntly, "Maybe there's a little bit of that reason, but more importantly, you're afraid that I'll speak harshly to you in order to fit in with Slytherin. Am I right?"

Before Lucas could object, Ariana added, "Also, seeing me get into Slytherin and being so sharp, that doesn't fit your Hufflepuff friendship standards, does it?"

Seeing that Lucas was speechless because of Ariana, Cedric said, "Sorry, there are indeed two reasons."

Ariana was not angry, but said calmly: "I accept your apology. After all, you taught me magic on the train and told me a lot of common sense about Hogwarts."

Even if she cannot repay the kindness, she will not repay the kindness with enmity.

"Then can we still be friends?" Cedric looked at Ariana hopefully, obviously wanting to save this friendship.

Ariana shook her head and refused. "Forget it. Our values ​​are so different, and the environment is having an adverse effect. Even if we can be friends now, we'll soon go our separate ways."

It would be better to refuse from the beginning than to be sad and upset later. Besides, Ariana knew very well that the reason why the two of them came to her was entirely because of Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry for making you feel bad about us." Cedric looked at her apologetically.

The three of them got along quite happily on the train, and Cedric was a little regretful about the answer.

Ariana shook her head. "There's nothing to be sorry about. From the moment all the young wizards entered Hogwarts and put on the Sorting Hat, they all took their own positions. Even if we want to break tradition, the environment will force us to adapt to the rules."

She was indeed a little disappointed with Cedric and the others, but she didn't have any bad feelings.

All I can say is that this is a personal choice and cannot be forced.

Thinking of the incidents Ariana had caused after entering Hogwarts, Cedric guessed, "This is why you have so many conflicts with others. You don't want to adapt to the rules of the wizarding world, right?"

Dumbledore knew everything, so Ariana saw no need to hide it from others.

"Yes, I think this place is full of medieval bad habits. Everyone is like the emperor in new clothes, pretending not to see other people's naked bodies, and naturally they can think that they are wearing gorgeous new clothes." She looked sarcastic and thought the metaphor was very vivid.

Thinking of Ariana's magical talent and strong personality shown in the past two weeks, Cedric could only give her good wishes.

"Maybe you can really be the one to break the rules, because none of us have that potential."

After talking, Ariana left Black Lake and went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

As soon as he sat down, Draco couldn't wait to ask, "What do those two good-for-nothing Hufflepuffs want from you?"

Thinking of Draco's contemptuous look towards Cedric and Lucas in the auditorium, Ariana felt that it was necessary to regulate his behavior. Not only was his expression ugly, but it also seemed uncultured.

"Draco, we've been together for so long, and I've made many promises to you. Can you promise me one thing?" she asked sincerely.

Seeing Ariana's serious expression, Draco also became serious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ariana didn't hesitate to say, "As my friend, don't discriminate against anyone."

Draco thought the two people had said something to Ariana, and said unhappily, "But Hufflepuffs are all good-for-nothings, there's no doubt about that."

Grande added: "Even if you feel that way, don't show it."

Draco could tell that Ariana wasn't lecturing him because of those two people just now, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked again, "Why?"

"Think about it, the reason I fight with others is that I can't stand their bad habits. Don't you think that discriminating against others is a bad habit? If my friend is the representative of bad habits, what position do I have to oppose bad habits?" Ariana guided him to think.

Draco suddenly understood, and he said how could Ariana lecture him for others, it turned out that she was preparing for the upcoming conflict.

"Okay, I won't say this anymore, but this is all for you." After all, Ariana is his best friend.

Seeing that Draco agreed to her request, Ariana was not stingy and said to him, "Friendship is mutual. Since you agreed to my request, if you have any requests for me, just ask. I will definitely change what I can."

"But what if I don't stand firm and others bully me?" Draco's focus was still on the previous request.

Ariana explained: "I just want you not to discriminate against others. When someone provokes you, you must still fight back firmly. There is no conflict between the two."

"I understand." Draco nodded.

Before the previous topic was over, Ariana asked again: "What do you want from me?"

Draco stroked his chin and thought for a minute, then shook his head and said, "It seems not. You are perfect in every way. If I think of it in the future, can I still mention it?"

"Of course, as long as we are still friends at that time." Ariana did not hesitate at all.

Draco was very confident about this. He patted his chest and assured, "We can definitely be lifelong friends. Look, we've known each other for such a long time and we haven't had a single quarrel."

"But you haven't had any arguments with Goyle and Crabbe." Ariana solved his attitude problem and was in the mood to joke.

Draco could hear his good friend's teasing, so he asked speechlessly, "Do you think they can be friends?"

He didn't feel anything before, but after becoming friends with Ariana, Draco felt that Goyle and Crabbe could only be followers or subordinates.

"Well, he has no opinions of his own and only listens to you all day long. He is indeed not suitable to be a friend." Ariana shrugged.

In her opinion, friends should understand each other, advise each other and make progress together.

Now Snape's main focus in class is to be quiet and serious. If anyone makes a mistake in a step, he will simply deduct points without making any ridicule. Even Gryffindor can accept this, so Ariana has no right to cause trouble.

As for Quirrell, since he returned to normal, except for looking a little weak, his theoretical knowledge was solid and his spellcasting was sharp, and his praise even surpassed that of Filius Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw.

After all, Quirrell taught combat magic, while Flitwick mostly taught life spells, so the young wizards were quite warlike.

Ariana didn't find any fault with the professor's lectures. The school's dormitory facilities were about to be improved, so she naturally wouldn't look for trouble and get into conflict with others.

I had thought that my 7-year magical journey would be smooth sailing from then on, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face during the afternoon flying class.

After the class started, Neville was too nervous and his magic output was too great, so his broom flew into the sky at an accelerated speed.

Draco was still devastated by Ariana's broom flying into her hand, but when he saw this, he immediately shifted his gaze to laugh at Neville.

"Longbottom was originally a Squib, but his family used a special method to stimulate his magic. People like him should receive family education and not come to Hogwarts to be laughed at."

Ariana had never met Neville before and didn't care how he came down from the sky. Anyway, the professor was there, so she curiously studied the operating procedures of the flying broom.

Ron felt a little bolder when he saw that she didn't follow Draco.

"Malfoy, you grew up in the magical world, but don't you know that you need magic to be unleashed? Neville is a real little wizard, not a Squib." He shouted angrily.

"How dare you mock me for growing up in a Muggle world?" Draco reacted immediately and looked at Ron in shock. "How dare you mock Ariana?"

Is this poor bastard crazy? Ariana even dared to fight Snape. Weren't the lessons in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and the Great Hall harsh enough?

Chapter 50: Can't we figure it out?

Ron has always had a problem with speaking without restraint. After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and the incident in the auditorium, he was taught a lesson by his brothers, but he still had a grudge against Ariana.

There was no intention of sarcasm, but the words slipped out of his mouth. After he said it, he realized that he seemed to have brought Ariana into the picture. It was a completely subconscious behavior.

"Harry, save me." Ron, realizing he was in trouble, hid behind Harry nervously.

Everyone has personally experienced Ariana's fighting power, and they are all afraid that she will curse Ron. Not only did Harry Potter stand in front of Ron, but 20 little wizards of Gryffindor also gathered together.

Of course, except for Neville who was flying in the sky, but Neville came down quickly, but he just crashed into the grass and broke his arm.

Before Draco could greet Ariana, Professor Hooch ran over to give orders and helped Neville, whose hand was broken, out of the bushes.

"I'm going to take Neville to the school hospital. Put all your brooms on the ground and no one can ride them secretly until I come back." She looked at the little wizards present viciously.

Professor Huo Qi originally wanted to threaten to expel anyone who disobeyed, but she had already heard about Ariana's decision to drop out of school, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
