"Is your situation so difficult?" Huo Qi looked at Ariana lovingly.

Choked by Professor Huo Qi's words, Ariana smiled awkwardly and said, "It might be difficult for others, but I have been like this since I was a child, so I haven't experienced that kind of difficult situation."

Professor Huo Qi found Ariana quite interesting. She smiled and said, "Is personality innate? I thought it was influenced by the environment."

In order to stabilize her hypnosis skills, Ariana read many psychology books. She certainly knew that personality is influenced by both innate and acquired factors.

"There must be a natural reason. Look at that savior. I heard he was always abused at his uncle's house. It's reasonable that he should be cautious about everything, but now he acts like he's always meddling in other people's business. His savior buffs are fully stacked."

In fact, Ariana doesn't have that much of an opinion about Harry, as long as he doesn't provoke her.

Not only is Harry's character influenced by nature, but so is the famous Dark Lord Tom Riddle.

He has memories as soon as he is born, and it is mostly due to innate factors, but the fact that he hates Muggles so much must be related to the environment he grew up in.

You have to know that it was World War II, and there were few mentally healthy people during wartime.

Not to mention that he grew up in an orphanage, an environment where the strong prey on the weak. It would be strange if his mind was not twisted.

Unfortunately, after he entered Hogwarts, he didn't meet a professor who studied educational psychology.

Ariana complained about Harry and then turned the topic to her own research.

She hadn't told Huo Qi before that she was researching flying spells, and only told him after Huo Qi asked her.

"What? You want to study the flying spell? This is the famous spell of the You-Know-Who." Huo Qi looked at her in shock.

This made Ariana very dissatisfied.

"Just because the mysterious man has developed a flying spell, he's not allowing others to research it? And even if he can fly, the trajectory of my flying spell and his magic power is definitely different. Did he even apply for a patent? Even if that's the case, I'm not afraid of him suing me."

Just like in current science and technology, once a technology is developed, a patent is applied for. For example, if one country develops an airplane, does that mean other countries cannot also develop airplanes? As long as the technology is different, it does not constitute infringement of other people's patents.

Chapter 61 You're Too Late

Professor Hooch smiled and commented, "You still think like a Muggle."

Ariana habitually complains about the wizarding world.

"Muggles are the ones who think in modern society. The wizarding world is outdated. My actions haven't all had a negative impact. At least the principal is considering revising the school's management system. Isn't that a positive influence?"

If it didn't make sense, why would Dumbledore listen to her and change the rules?

After chatting with Ariana for a long time, Huo Qi finally gave her an assessment.

"Just from hearsay about you, I would think you were a very arrogant and unreasonable little wizard, but after getting to know you, I found that you were quite entertaining." Anyway, she liked this little troublemaker very much.

Ariana certainly understood that the professors at Hogwarts thought she was too sharp. In her opinion, all the young wizards at Hogwarts were too gentle.

If there are no accidents, we may be able to live a peaceful life. But if another dark lord appears, we can all lie down and die in a matter of minutes.

"The magical world should have more people like me. If you continue to hide with medieval ideas, you will eventually destroy yourselves." They should be made to understand the catfish effect.

"Will it?" The smile on Huo Qi's face faded.

As a wizard after all, Huo Qi certainly cares about this world.

Ariana asked, "Isn't that true? I'm the only Slytherin freshman this year who isn't from a noble family. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff only know how to play and study food. Ravenclaws are all immersed in their own worlds and have no idea how to work together. I heard that no new spells have appeared in years. I think this is because Dumbledore has done nothing."

As the mainstay of the wizarding world, Dumbledore did not fulfill his obligations at all, but he enjoyed the convenience brought by this identity. It can be said that he is no different from Harry. No wonder he established Harry as his savior.

This statement was really unfair to Dumbledore. He didn't choose the savior. This was completely Ariana's idea because she was too resentful towards him and was taking her anger out on him.

Huo Qi reminded Ariana, "Don't say this to the principal."

Ariana couldn't help but laugh, "Professor, you're already too late. I've told him several times."

Before Huo Qi could persuade Ariana to be less sharp, a little wizard suddenly came running over.

He said to Ariana with sweat on his forehead: "Colin, the principal wants you to go to his office. The password is 'cockroach pile'."

Ariana said without thinking, "I guess someone went to report to him because of the fight I had with Hagrid and the others just now. I'm afraid he's going to ask me to receive the punishment he hasn't thought of yet."

As a professor for many years, Hooch knew Hagrid very well, and she was quite surprised to hear that Ariana and Hagrid had a conflict.

"Hagrid is a kind-hearted man. Why did you fight with him? And he is a half-giant with a high resistance to magic. Who won?" Hooch looked at her with a gossipy look on his face.

Ariana suddenly realized what was going on and said, "So it's because he has a high resistance to magic. I was wondering why the binding spell required so much mana, and I thought it was just my imagination."

Seeing that Ariana was not worried about the fight at all, Huo Qi stopped worrying about her and asked Ariana to hand over the broom to him.

"Hurry up and go. Researching spells won't be easy. Be careful not to go too late or someone will complain first. Even if you're right, you'll have to put in more effort."

If you like someone, you will naturally lean towards her.

Ariana was pleased with Huo Qi's attitude. She smiled and said, "Professor, you are the first normal person I have met since entering the magical world, although you treat me differently."

Huo Qi didn't argue with Ariana, but just gestured for her to go quickly.

After entering the principal's office, Ariana complained preemptively, "I didn't expect a three-meter-tall giant to tell tales. I heard giants are aggressive and aggressive. Hagrid, shouldn't you come and challenge me with your wand?"

Hagrid blushed and lied, "I don't have a wand."

Ariana didn't know that Hagrid had his wand broken before, so she asked in confusion, "Can't giants use wands?"

Dumbledore felt that if Ariana continued to ask questions, Hagrid would probably talk about the past, and he didn't want Hagrid to be immersed in the sadness of the past.

"Well, you said earlier that there had been a conflict, so I couldn't always rely on you to understand the situation alone. Hagrid reported to me that you attacked him and Ron. I couldn't make the same mistake as before and listen to one side of the story, so I asked him to stay and listen to your defense."

Actually, Ron and Harry were there just now, but they heard

After hearing what happened, Dumbledore felt that if the two children stayed here, they might clash with Ariana, because he could see that Harry and the others became much more aggressive when they saw him.

Although he didn't want to admit that the Gryffindor people bullied others by relying on their status as headmaster, his words did mean that, and Ariana was too sensitive.

Ariana narrated the entire incident without bias and got to the heart of the matter.

"I think Ron Weasley's thinking is really problematic. Draco, influenced by his father, also discriminates against Muggles. But after I talked to him, whether he thought so in his heart or not, he never showed it again."

Ellie snorted and added, "I don't believe that Ron Weasley's brothers haven't taught him a lesson, but he still talks about discrimination against Muggles."

Dumbledore could not refute Ariana's accusation. Ron's attitude was indeed problematic. He didn't know how Arthur, who was pro-Muggle, could raise a son who looked down on Muggles like this.

"I will remind Prefect Weasley to pay attention to his brother's ideological problems. Isn't it too much for you to take action against him just because of this?" Dumbledore asked disapprovingly.

Seeing that the old man was biased again, Ariana sneered and said, "Not using a curse on him is quite polite. The principal also knows that my spells are too powerful. I only used a disarming spell at that time. Didn't I also use a healing spell on him later?"

Seeing that Ariana was angry, Dumbledore had to change the person to discuss.

"Hagrid didn't say anything discriminatory against Muggles, did he?" Hagrid knew very well that it was impossible to discriminate against anyone.

Ariana immediately gave an impeccable reason.

"But he slandered others. I asked him to produce evidence, but he didn't. And his attitude was so bad."

Hagrid immediately retorted, "I don't have a bad attitude."

"Look, Headmaster, his eyes are almost popping out, as if he's going to eat me at the next moment. For safety reasons, I only used the Binding Spell on him." Ariana motioned for Dumbledore to see for himself.

Dumbledore looked at the situation and suddenly understood something. He smiled and explained, "Ariana, Hagrid is more emotional because of his bloodline. He means no harm."

"No one gave me such an explanation at the time. I used magic to ensure my own safety. Besides him, there was also a dog that attacked me." Ariana didn't want to take this responsibility.

Chapter 62 The First One Will Be Ignored

Dumbledore couldn't convince Ariana, so he had to compromise and said, "Well, your explanation of these two points is impeccable. I have no way to punish you."

Ariana complained speechlessly after hearing this: "Look at our great Gryffindor headmaster, who spends all day thinking about how to punish a little wizard like me from Slytherin."

Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Yes, you didn't even give me this chance."

Ariana didn't want to joke with the other party. She changed her expression and said seriously, "Slytherin is the loser and has been restricted in every way. If they continue to swallow their anger, I'm afraid the entire house will disappear from the long river of history."

"Hogwarts was founded by four colleges. No one has the right to deprive any of them of their right to exist."

Dumbledore's expression turned serious; he didn't want to accept the accusation.

Ariana asked sarcastically, "Even this academy can't recruit a single student?"

Before Dumbledore and Phoenix Black on the wall could retort, the Sorting Hat on the shelf immediately exploded and scolded her loudly.

"Arrogant little Slytherin girl, it seems that you not only have a problem with all the professors in Hogwarts, but you also don't let go of the Sorting Hat, a magical creation like me." Although it is just a hat, it is still well-informed.

Ariana did not underestimate this magical hat and spoke the truth speechlessly.

"That's true, isn't it? You only sorted nine people into Slytherin this year."

The saying that there is strength in numbers is no joke. China does not have so many people, how could it rise so quickly?

The Sorting Hat didn't want to take this responsibility and said sternly, "That's because you Slytherins don't welcome people who are not pure-bloods."

Ariana immediately retorted, "Whether we welcome them or not, we'll decide after we sort them in. Don't forget that your responsibility is to analyze the attributes of each young wizard, not to sort them based on the academy's environment."

The Sorting Hat was silent for a long time before it finally said dimly, "Well, I was influenced by Dumbledore."

Dumbledore didn't want to take responsibility either. He said jokingly, "It's really strange that you put all the responsibility on me. I'm a responsibility trash can, right?"

The Sorting Hat explained seriously, "Although you haven't complained to me, I can sense from you that you're worried about the Slytherin environment. You don't want little wizards of other bloodlines to enter this academy and be excluded by the pure-blooded little wizards."

Dumbledore was stunned and said in confusion, "I never knew the Sorting Hat could be influenced by the Headmaster."

The Sorting Hat is just a hat, it certainly can't tell nonsense.

"You've never asked me before. This is one of my attributes. It can effectively help the principal manage the school. It was set up when I was created."

Dumbledore looked at Ariana helplessly and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you are going to have opinions about me again."

Ariana looked at him sarcastically and pointed out bluntly: "But you never admitted that my opinion was right. You just wanted to win my attitude. Am I right?"

Ariana has read many books on psychology. Although she doesn't have much practical experience, she has solid theoretical knowledge.

Although Dumbledore is very powerful, she can still understand a lot of things if she pays a little attention.

Dumbledore looked at Ariana in silence for a minute before speaking.

"Yes, the older people get, the more stubborn they become. Ariana, I'm 110 years old and I'm stubborn enough that no one can persuade me. But that doesn't mean I don't know I'm wrong. I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations." This was the biggest concession he could make.

Ariana also understood that even if the other party was willing to give in because of her magical talent, this was only when there was no interest involved. Once there was a conflict with the other party's interests, she would be the first to be ignored.

"Since the principal doesn't plan to punish me, can I leave?" Ariana lost interest in talking.

Dumbledore wanted to talk to Ariana as it wasn't punishment, so he stopped her.

"One more thing, I heard Hagrid say that you questioned Harry's savior status, thinking that it was given to him by me, is that right?"

She said it herself, so Ariana certainly wouldn't deny it.

"Wasn't Potter the banner you raised to appease people after the Wizarding War?"

"I intentionally pushed others to recognize Harry as the savior, and it was indeed intended to appease people, but his savior status was not given by me." Dumbledore did not deny what he had done.

"Who is that?" Ariana was a little curious.

Dumbledore also had many regrets about what happened back then, and he felt somewhat melancholy when talking about it.

"You can take Divination as an elective in your third year, and then you can meet the Divination professor, Sybill Trelawney. It was she who first made the divination result that Harry was the savior," Dumbledore explained.

Ariana was speechless and complained, "Does everyone believe the divination result? What if she predicts that she can become the headmaster of Hogwarts? Would you give her the position?"

Maybe it was because Draco kept talking about competing for the principal, and Ariana was influenced by him and made such a metaphor.

Dumbledore didn't mind the joke and even thought it was funny.

"Of course it's not that simple. Sybil's divination didn't directly name Harry. It predicted that someone with the power to conquer the Dark Lord would approach. Born into a family that had defeated the Dark Lord three times, at the end of the seventh month. There were two candidates at the time."

"Since there are two people, why is it Potter?" Ariana was even more confused.

Dumbledore continued to explain, "That's because the Dark Lord died at the Potter family's house, and Harry was the only one who survived. As you know, the lightning scar on his forehead was left by the Killing Curse."

Ariana remembered Blaise's previous speculation and frowned. "What if Potter's parents died together with the Dark Lord? Maybe the killing curse accidentally hit him in the face?"

Although she kept saying that she wanted to learn the three unforgivable curses, Ariana actually didn't even study the Imperius Curse, which had a detailed explanation of the spell.

She is a law-abiding citizen. She knows that she will break the law, and so many people know that she has the solution to the Imperius Curse. In this situation, how could she be so stubborn?

Having never even studied the Imperius Curse, let alone the Killing Curse, Ariana certainly didn't understand the principles behind this spell.

Dumbledore was such a smart man that he immediately realized that Ariana was not involved in this evil magic, and the smile on his face deepened.

"No one has ever survived the Killing Curse," he said, shaking his head.
