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

Chapter 81 I'm going to challenge Potter to a duel?

Ariana had asked Draco to go back to the lounge to do his homework, but when she came out of the office, she saw him standing outside the door, obviously looking for him again.

Before Ariana could ask why he was here, Draco asked her first, "Did my godfather promise you?"

Draco had originally gone back to the lounge to do his homework, but the more he wrote, the more upset he became. Finally, he couldn't continue writing, so he simply threw his pen aside and ran to wait outside the professor's office.

Honestly, he didn't want Ariana to succeed in her challenge. Even if it was just a simple exchange, what if she got hurt? It wouldn't reflect well on either of them either.

Ariana knew that Draco was worried that she and Snape would have another conflict.

"I told you, he really wants to fight. He agreed as soon as I mentioned it. However, he gave me the flying spell invented by the Dark Lord. I plan to learn it and then schedule a duel with him."

Ariana felt that the flying spell could be improved in terms of speed.

The main reason is that Snape also knows this spell. If it is not improved, it will be basically impossible to achieve a surprise victory through displacement.

They can't compete in terms of magic power to begin with. If the spells they know are the same, then there's no point in her playing.

Draco became even more worried after hearing this. He asked doubtfully, "You said before that you wanted to research your own flying spell that's different from the Dark Lord's. Now you're using his. People will definitely accuse you of being a Death Eater."

Although he was raised very simply by Lucius, he still knew what he should know, such as his father was once a Death Eater.

Ariana didn't care. She shook her head and said, "Forget about whether there is evidence or not. I was only one year old when the Dark Lord died, and I was still living in the Muggle world. How can I prove that I am a Death Eater?"

Draco could come up with more than a dozen reasons, so he told Ariana the most reliable one.

"Maybe they are slandering your parents. They have passed away long ago and it is impossible for them to jump out and refute you. You'd better be careful." He felt that this possibility was very high.

Ariana thought, my parents, who I don’t know who they are, are just Muggles, so even if they want to be related to the Dark Lord, it’s impossible.

But she definitely couldn't say such things, at least not before graduation. She still wanted to study magic in peace.

Ariana simply said to Draco, "If I'm afraid of this and that, I'm afraid I'll be eaten by these biased professors on my first day at Hogwarts."

Ariana could complain about the Hogwarts professors' outrageous actions for ten days and ten nights.

Seeing that his good friend had made up his mind, Draco knew that he could not persuade him, so he made a request.

"Then when you duel, I want to go with you, what if you get hurt?" He didn't know who would get hurt in the duel between the two, so he could only say this vaguely.

Draco made this request not simply out of concern for his good friend, but mainly because Ariana asked him to go back to the common room today and go find Snape by herself. He found it extremely boring without Ariana around.

But before, when he was doing his homework, Ariana just sat there reading and didn't talk to him at all, but he didn't feel annoyed at all.

Ariana found it strange that Draco was so excited. She didn't reject him, so why did he deny herself in advance?

"I didn't intend to refuse you from going with me. You don't have to worry about getting injured. Snape is the Potions Professor himself, so he will definitely be prepared. I asked you to go mainly because you also need some combat experience."

Hogwarts has a school rule that deducts 50 points for even a night out. If he doesn't take Draco to watch the game, he's afraid he will never have such an experience in his life.

Why do people grow? Isn't it because they broaden their horizons and gain more knowledge? Of course, she would not let her good friend miss this opportunity.

Draco asked curiously, "Why do I need combat experience? Are you asking me to challenge Potter to a duel? After what happened last time, he won't agree."

It hasn't been long since Draco deducted 50 points from Harry. Even if Harry is a fool, he will definitely not be fooled again.

"What kind of experience can you gain by dueling with Porter, that idiot who doesn't care about anything?" Ariana looked at him speechlessly.

If I were to learn, I would learn top-level dueling so that my upper limit would be higher. So I explained my plan to Draco.

"I'm going to talk to Dumbledore about the dueling class. He expressed his desire to start one last time. As long as I provide a detailed plan, the course will be a done deal."

Then he talked about the arrangement for Draco: "You care so much about your reputation. If you lose the duel too badly, how will you survive in Hogwarts?"

Don't let yourself get so angry that you stand up for him and then be wrongly accused of learning black magic or having a demonic disorder.

Draco misunderstood Ariana's meaning and said proudly: "Among those in the same grade, I don't see who is my opponent, except you."

They were best friends, and there was no way Ariana could challenge him to a duel, so there was no way he could lose to anyone else.

Ariana shook her head and continued to explain: "My suggestion to Dumbledore was not to duel with the same grade, but to duel with the whole school."

There are only more than 50 freshmen this year, and there are more in other grades, probably around 60. The whole school probably has more than 400 students. With such a small number of people and having to duel by grade, what's the fun in this class?

"What are you thinking? We are only first graders. How can we beat the seniors, except for you of course?" Draco looked at her doubtfully.

Ariana explained the rules of the dueling course she envisioned.

"My idea is to determine the top three in the same grade, then have a school-wide duel to determine the top three."

It’s just like playing a game. You first PK with people of the same star level. Once your strength exceeds that star level, you move to the next star level, and then PK with people of the next star level.

Draco understood, but he strongly disagreed: "What's the difference between this and a direct school-wide duel? First years will still be overpowered by seniors."

He still wanted to dominate the duel class, but if the rules were set as Ariana said, he would probably just have to watch others dominate.

And it is very likely the person in front of him. If that is the case, he doesn't care.

Ariana didn't finish her words.

"Of course there is a difference. If this model is implemented, you can clearly see where you rank among your classmates and understand your own strengths. This might effectively arouse the fighting spirit of your classmates."

Draco didn't hear Ariana's plan for him, and frowned and said, "But this way we will never be in the top three in the first grade."

"Are you always in the first grade?" Ariana looked at him speechlessly.

Draco already understood what the other party meant. He said in surprise, "You mean we can only get into the top three after we are in senior year, of course, except for you."

Ariana didn't refute him, but asked: "Then why besides me?"

Chapter 82 Will you immigrate to the United States with me?

The answer is so obvious, why is Ariana still asking?

"You can even duel with Professor Snape directly. Do you think these weaklings in Hogwarts can be your opponents?" He had a very thick filter for Ariana.

Ariana didn't tell him the ultimate goal, but instead guided him to think: "What if this dueling class can force out a powerful young wizard like me?"

Adversity often inspires people to grow quickly. When you know that the gap in strength between you and your friends is not that big, will you quietly work hard to increase your own magic?

Ariana will never be restricted by the environment. She has been feeling so depressed recently because the environment is too bad. Since she has to stay here for another 7 years, she must change the environment.

But she has no rights. The only way she can think of now is to plant the seeds of bellicosity in the students' hearts and start the change from the bottom up.

Draco had no idea that Ariana would have such a big intention. He immediately sneered when he heard that there was someone as strong as her.

"Impossible. Magical strength is innate. Don't deny it. When you first started teaching me magic, you felt that my magic wasn't strong enough. You said you would find a way to help me solve it, but you still haven't figured it out."

Draco completely overlooked one problem: it had only been two weeks since Ariana said this.

Even Dumbledore probably couldn't come up with a solution in such a short time, but his tone was certain that Ariana couldn't think of it, because there was no such method.

Ariana said helplessly: "That's because I can't find the place to store magic power."

In her opinion, the strength of a spell depends on the momentum when the magic is introduced. Draco's magic is weak, so where is the momentum?

To solve this problem, we need to know where the magic is stored and see if it is because the output port is blocked?

Seeing that Ariana was still struggling with the location of her magic power, Draco said to her firmly, "I've already told you that magic power is stored in the blood. Even if you don't believe it, I won't force you. But don't tell this to the other Slytherins, or they'll isolate you."

This was the consensus of all Slytherin members. If Ariana acted independently, others would not dare to do anything to her, but the relationship that had just been eased would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Ariana said as a matter of course: "They are not my friends. I only tell my friends about such private topics."

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you." Draco said with a smile.

There was no point in discussing these issues, and standing here was pointless, so Ariana asked Draco to go back to Slytherin.

"Let's go back and write." She took the lead.

Draco followed her and asked her doubtfully, "You don't have any homework, what are you going to write? Are you going to help me write it?"

It had been three weeks since the start of the school year at Hogwarts, and Ariana hadn't done a single assignment. This was a precedent, as famous as Flint, the senior who had to repeat a grade.

"What are you thinking about? I'm going to write a report for Dumbledore." Ariana explained.

"What report?" Draco looked at her puzzled.

As soon as she left Professor Snape's office, Ariana had already summarized the issues she wanted to discuss with Dumbledore, and she had even written the specific report in her head.

"I have discussed so many things with him. I have some resentment towards him, and we have so many disagreements that it's easy to get stuck into a discussion about one topic. I'd rather just submit a report and save myself the trouble."

The main reason was that she didn't want to confront the principal, whose mind was as cunning as a sieve.

Draco laughed when he heard this and said, "You have more than a little resentment towards him."

Thinking about the many conflicts that had occurred, Ariana had to admit that Draco was right.

"Well, I have a lot of opinions about him. It's mainly because the wizarding world has stagnated and is hiding in its own safety shell, and he is the main person responsible." Dumbledore's attitude was too extreme.

Draco watched the whole feud between Ariana and Dumbledore, but he didn't care much about it. He was always concerned about his good friends around him.

"Then should I go with you?" Draco looked at her expectantly.

"You want to go with me?" Ariana looked back at him strangely.

The two looked at each other for three seconds. Seeing that Ariana didn't mean to speak, Draco could only say, "Since we met on the train platform, we've basically been together except for bedtime. This time when you went to see my godfather was the first time we were apart."

He was so bored in the lounge just now that even Blaise's provocation did not arouse his desire to fight back.

Hearing Draco's words, Ariana couldn't help but complain to him: "Dear friend, have you forgotten that time when you talked to your father alone and sent me away?"

It was that time when I went to the Forbidden Forest with Snape, and he taught me a lot of common sense about the dark arts. Because I had fewer concerns, my learning progress could be said to be very fast.

This was the real reason why she had the confidence to challenge Snape to a duel.

Draco was choked by Ariana, having completely forgotten that time, but he quickly corrected himself.

"I sent you away once, and you left me to go find Professor Snape. We are even now. When you go to the headmaster's office, I must follow you."

Ariana had no idea what the other party was up to, so she asked curiously, "Why? I want to talk about the dueling class, the issue of mana storage, and the professors' different treatment of me. Which of these topics are you interested in?"

If she remembered correctly, Draco hated talking to her about magic research the most. In fact, apart from Quidditch and Harry, Draco was not interested in other topics.

Thinking of the scene in the lounge just now, Draco said firmly: "Even if I'm not interested, I'm going."

Seeing that Draco couldn't be persuaded, Ariana had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay, we are best friends after all. From now on, I will take you with me even if I die."

Draco was stunned when he heard this. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Except this."

Ailiana teased him, "There's a Chinese saying about best friends: 'Even though we can't be born on the same day, we still hope to die on the same day.' It's meant to show how deep their bond is, to say they'll stick together through life and death. It seems our friendship isn't deep enough."

Draco didn't want to refuse, but he didn't want to agree either, so he adopted a procrastination tactic.

"It may take another seven years to reach that level. Just wait and see." He said seriously.

Ariana suppressed her laughter and continued to tease him, "You were planning to live far apart from me after graduation in seven years, but didn't you say you wanted to immigrate to the United States with me?"

Draco growled angrily, "But you can't let me die with you, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ariana laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. Draco immediately knew that he had been fooled.

Chapter 83: How many tens of thousands of words are written in my mind?

"This is a very serious topic, stop laughing." He glared at the other person.

Seeing this, Ariana immediately said to him in a soothing tone: "You are mistaken, don't blame me. Think about what I care about most."

Without thinking, Draco replied directly: "Of course your life."

He was stunned after saying that, then reacted and said, "Well, you absolutely can't die, so I can't follow you."

Seeing that Draco was still angry, Ariana said flatteringly: "You forgot that what I care about most is life safety. You also forgot my promise to you that I would always stand in front of you. How could I take you to die?"

Draco didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he deliberately asked her, "Why are we talking about this topic?"

"Didn't you start it?" Ariana looked at him matter-of-factly.

"You started it." Draco glared at his overbearing friend.

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the Slytherin common room. Draco picked up the homework he had thrown aside and continued to write. This time he didn't show any impatience.

Ariana took out a pen and paper and was about to write a report when she saw Draco's quill.

"Can your pen automatically correct spelling mistakes?" she asked.

Because of insufficient budget, Ariana did not buy a quill pen in Diagon Alley. She now uses a ballpoint pen.

Draco looked at her speechlessly.

"We've known each other for almost a month. You usually sit next to me when I do my homework, and you don't even know that my pen can automatically correct my mistakes. You really ignore me. How can our relationship be deep like this?"

He was still upset about the joke Ariana had just played on him and wanted to return the favor.
