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

When Ariana drove the Weasley twins away, she knew Dumbledore would come looking for her.

As she expected, during lunch in the Great Hall, a Hufflepuff student came to the Slytherin table to find her.

"Headmaster Dumbledore wants you to go to his office after dinner. The password is Lemon Sherbet."

"I see, thank you." Basic courtesy is still necessary.

After being asked by Ariana, Draco not only stopped looking down on the Hufflepuffs, but also nodded at them.

He was good-looking to begin with, and with his politeness, he immediately exuded the aura of a nobleman, and several girls from the neighboring Ravenclaw class looked over at him.

Unfortunately, Draco's focus was only on his good friend, and he didn't notice his rising charm value, which attracted the attention of many girls.

"It must be about what happened in the auditorium this morning. You're unwilling to teach others the alchemy method you developed. That's your own wish. Why would I want to talk to you?"

When the principal called her in for a talk, everyone assumed she had gotten into trouble. He was very upset that Ariana was always called to the principal's office.

Ariana nodded calmly and said, "Yeah, so I won't go."

"What, not going? That's not a good idea, right? He is the headmaster after all." Draco looked at her in surprise.

Ariana snorted coldly: "Just because he is the principal, he can order me to go to his office?"

Since you love to order people around so much, why don’t you become the Minister of Magic? Then you can threaten her and throw her to Azkaban if she doesn’t obey. Maybe she will have some reservations.

Draco frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, but he just felt that something was wrong.

"But I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't figure it out for the moment." He looked at Ariana, trying to get her to tell him.

Chapter 87 Do I have to cooperate with him?

Ariana didn't let him down and pointed it out directly: "Of course it's wrong. I've fought so many times because I can't stand the confrontation, discrimination, and bullying in the school. Is my rejection of the Weasley brothers' advances a form of confrontation?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the other party will definitely think it is, and then they will have to clash again.

Draco frowned and retorted, "Is this considered opposition? This is the technology you developed. Did they pay you? How dare they ask you for it?"

Looking at Draco, whose cheeks were slightly red with anger, Ariana suggested maliciously: "When I go to submit the report, you are going to come with me, and then you can confront Dumbledore like this."

Draco stared at Ariana for a long moment, and finally replied in a low voice: "I dare not."

Ariana laughed softly when she heard that, and only stopped smiling when she saw Draco's angry glare. However, after laughing, she still wanted to give him some pointers.

"Everything has a first time. You never thought of threatening your father before. Now you see, you have got what you wanted, and the consequences are not as serious as you imagined, right?" Ariana tried to tempt him to be bolder.

Draco complained speechlessly: "Can my father be the same as Dumbledore?"

Ariana immediately retorted, "What's the difference? Even though he holds so many confusing positions and is the most powerful person in the wizarding world, he's the principal of the school now. As a student, if you think something is unreasonable, just speak up."

Draco still didn't dare: "Gryffindors are brave, I'm a Slytherin."

"The word 'brave' must have existed before Gryffindor was born. How come it's exclusive to him?" Ariana looked at Draco speechlessly.

Ariana soon forgot about going to the principal's office. After dinner, Dumbledore still didn't show up, so he could only notify Snape to check on Ariana.

Narcissa acted very quickly. Draco delivered the letter after breakfast, and in the afternoon he received a package sent by owl, which was full of various alchemical materials.

When Snape arrived at the Slytherin common room, Ariana and Draco were processing materials in the corner of the common room.

Thinking of Ariana's unparalleled talent in magic, Snape did not call her away to inquire about the situation. Instead, he walked over and looked at the alchemical materials in her hand.

"Human energy is limited. Now that you have decided on the direction of your spell research, don't spend all day tinkering with these alchemical items." This was his advice.

Of course, Ariana couldn't accept this suggestion.

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Alchemy is just a branch of magic. Who said that my research direction is spells? I am interested in anything related to magic." Her goal has always been clear.

Seeing that Snape was still trying to persuade her, Ariana hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "Professor, are you looking for me?"

Ariana was no ordinary stupid little troll, and since she knew what she was doing, Snape didn't want to bother with it.

"Dumbledore asked you to go to his office. Why didn't you go? Don't say you weren't notified."

Ariana is a celebrity at Hogwarts. If you ask any young wizard, he or she may not know Snape's full name, but he or she will definitely know that Colin from Slytherin is called Ariana.

Ariana was speechless when she heard this: "He asked me to go, so I have to go? He asked me in advance if there was anything important? Do I have to cooperate with him?"

This old man who loves candy is too natural. It seems that Draco is right. He is different from Lucius.

The two of them have had so many conflicts, but they still haven't learned to respect others. Lucius and Draco learned it after just one conflict.

Snape questioned her speechlessly, "Is your most important job just to tinker with alchemical materials here?"

Changing the environment is not something that can be done overnight. Now they are still on someone else's territory, and Ariana doesn't want to make the relationship too awkward.

She looked at Snape and said, "Then what does he want from me? If it's because he refused to teach Gryffindor how to modify the Remembrane in the Great Hall this morning, then I don't think there's any need to go."

Even though she hadn't gone yet, Ariana could already guess what the other party was going to say, which was nothing more than hoping that she could break through the barriers of the academy.

But why should Slytherin pay actual costs to break the barriers, while Gryffindor only needs to talk? That's too good to be true.

Snape was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ariana and said directly: "The headmaster needs to know all the situations of the school. As a member of Hogwarts, you have the obligation to cooperate."

Ariana was too lazy to argue with Snape. She thought that she could make the automatic writing pen soon and finish the report naturally. At that time, she would go to the principal's office even for this matter.

"Then I'll go again in a few days. It's a good opportunity to give him some suggestions." After saying that, he no longer looked at Snape, but focused on the alchemical materials in his hand.

When Snape heard Ariana was going to make a suggestion, he immediately knew that she and Dumbledore were going to clash again.

Thinking of how this troublemaker always embarrassed Dumbledore, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly and he made a decision.

"Very good, I will go with you, remember to let me know the time." Then he floated away like a black bat.

Ariana complained speechlessly, "Why do so many people want to follow me? Does your godfather think everything around me is exciting, just like you?"

"I guess they came to watch the fun." Draco said with a smile.

Ariana nodded: "Yes, there is no subordinate who doesn't want to see the boss's excitement, including Professor Snape."

Recalling Snape's wizard robes fluttering in the wind, Ariana complained to Draco, "I gave him a nickname just now just to get back at him for calling me a stupid little troll, but look at him swinging his robes around all day. He really does look like a black bat."

"Don't shout in front of him, or there will be another conflict." Draco motioned for Ariana to speak in a low voice.

Ariana smiled and then reminded him, "You think it's exciting for me to always clash with others, but now you're afraid of this and that."

"I do think it's exciting, but I'm also scared," Draco confessed.

Ariana stroked her chin and commented, "I see. It's just like spicy food. The spicier it is, the better."

"There are people who like spicy food. I find the taste unbearable." Draco looked shocked.

The wizarding world was still stuck in the traditional medieval mindset, and the Malfoy family was no exception. Apart from the sweetness, their family's attitudes were average.

As a good friend, Ariana had to keep up with Draco's knowledge, so she made holiday arrangements for him.

"Looks like I really have to have you over to my house for Christmas. I'll hire a Chinese chef then. They make really delicious spicy dishes. Or I can take you to Chinatown. It's much more enjoyable to eat in that kind of environment."

Of course you have to enjoy life if you have money. In her previous life, she was always shrouded in the shadow of death. In order to leave no regrets, Ariana tried cuisine from every country.

It's been less than a month since school started, and Ariana has already filled her vacation with a lot of things, and now she's showing signs of filling it up even more.

Draco proposed a different arrangement.

Chapter 88 Did Ariana forget?

"Come to my house for Christmas. Your parents are gone anyway, and it would be lonely to spend the holidays alone. We can go to your house together after the holidays and then go to the amusement park you mentioned."

In the past, Ariana would go to Thompson's house on Christmas. Since there is somewhere else to go this year, that would be the best. After all, Thompson's family would not be very comfortable seeing her.

"Christmas is still two months away. Let's wait."

After Ariana sorted out Draco's alchemical materials, she knew how to modify the automatic writing pen.

However, she did not modify the feather pen, but used the shell of a famous brand fountain pen she brought with her.

Ariana complained as she transformed herself, "What era is this? Wizards still use quills. Even though the high-end quills have automatic ink dispensers, they're so thin and hard to hold."

Draco looked at her speechlessly. "Stop, I don't want to hear you complain about the wizarding world. Tell me about the function of your automatic writing pen."

Having been interrupted by Draco several times, Ariana felt the need to correct him.

People should always look at everything with a critical eye, discover problems and solve them, so that they can grow from this process.

But for now, I'd better tell him about the function of this alchemy pen.

"Your correction quill extracts your handwriting to correct incorrect words, while my pen records the font. You can directly input whatever you think of in your mind using this spell, or you can input it by voice."

This pen has similar functions to a voice recorder, the only difference is that it is controlled by magic and has the function of thought input.

After listening to all of Ariana's explanations, Draco was not very satisfied with this alchemical item.

"I think you're the only one who can use the function of inputting what you think in your mind directly. It's impossible for ordinary people to think of a report as concretely as you do." Did your good friend forget something very important?

Ariana still didn't understand what Draco was concerned about, and was still trying to explain it to him seriously.

"So I added a voice function and kept the error correction function of the quill pen. This means that you don't have to write by hand anymore, you can just speak to it."

"Is it really that simple?" Draco looked at her doubtfully.

Ariana handed over the pen and said, "You'll know it's very simple once you try it."

It turns out that it is not simple at all. Even though the automatic error correction function of this pen can correct spelling mistakes, what people think and say will be a little confusing, and it cannot correct grammatical errors.

Draco looked at the messy paper on the parchment and commented helplessly, "If I give this potions paper to Professor Snape, he will definitely call me a stupid little troll."

Ariana, feeling a bit shocked, said casually, "Even if you didn't give him the paper, he would still call you that in private. I've heard it several times."

Although Draco was very unhappy that his godfather called him that in private, what could he do to him? He couldn't be like Ariana and challenge him to a duel with his wand in hand if he was dissatisfied.

"This pen is of no use to me." Draco finally made a judgment.

Ariana retorted, "How could it be useless? If you turn it on during class, wouldn't you be able to write down everything the professor says?"

This pen also has a recording function, so even if you can't keep up with the professor's speaking speed, it can still record it.

Draco reminded her of something.

"But the professor talks about whatever comes to mind during lectures. When you take notes, you don't write down everything. You only pick out the important ones."

Draco said this because he thought Ariana didn't know about this situation, because not only did she not do her homework, she also didn't take notes because she was too lazy to write.

But she could answer all the professor's questions fluently, and even come up with insights that even the professor was amazed.

Ariana couldn't find the words to refute Draco, so she could only ask unhappily, "So what function do you want?"

In fact, she also knew that this pen seemed too high-end and was not suitable for ordinary people.

Draco immediately became happy when he heard this and asked directly, "Can you design a function for writing papers?"

It is definitely possible, after all, Ariana has seen AI, but the workload is too huge.

And if she made such an alchemical item, Draco's academic performance would definitely plummet, and then the Malfoy family would really fight her to the death.

Looking at my good friend's expectant face, I really couldn't say no directly. Then I thought about it and came up with a perfect reason.

"No matter how intelligent an alchemical item is, it can't replace human creativity. If you want to write a paper quickly, practice Occlumency like I did and master it. This pen will write the paper you've conceived."

She thought this suggestion was very good. She could be lazy without delaying her studies, and naturally it would not affect her grades.

After hearing her suggestion, Draco didn't know how to complain.

"For my first-year paper, I'm going to learn a brain-blocking technique that even senior students can't learn. Your advice is really very pertinent." He looked at his friend with a strange way of thinking expressionlessly.

Ariana looked at him unwillingly: "Do you think I can't hear that you are mocking me?"

The two of them locked eyes, and in the end, Draco always lost. He said helplessly, "But most people can't use these functions. How can I show off in front of others?"

Did Ariana forget that she promised to give herself the first alchemical item she made in the future?

After hearing Draco's reason, Ariana said angrily: "So you are just showing off to others. I was touched that you gave me some advice."

"This is no different from giving you advice. But you promised me that when you research an alchemical item, the first one would be given to me." Seeing that his good friend really didn't remember, Draco could only take the initiative to remind him.

Ariana didn't forget the agreement, but she was too excited by the blow. Seeing her good friend angry, she immediately regained her rationality.

"Of course I remember this. This pen is for you. I'll input all the first-grade textbook content into it tonight. Then it will have a question-and-answer function. As long as you ask about the first-grade textbook content, it will write it out for you. Although it can't automatically write an essay, it saves you the effort of flipping through books. What do you think?"

Draco's mood was immediately soothed. To express his gratitude, he even pretended to be concerned and said, "This function is amazing. Can you fix it in one night? Don't work too hard."

Ariana could tell he wasn't sincere, so she teased him, "Then I'll spend a few more nights there?"

Draco immediately retorted: "With your ability, one night is more than enough. I believe you."

Unfortunately, Draco's social outing the next day had not yet begun, as all the attention in the hall was drawn to the dispute between the Weasley brothers.
