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

Ron loudly accused the twins, "How dare you lecture me? As a Gryffindor, you're actually learning alchemy from the evil Slytherin. You're really bringing shame to Gryffindor."

Ariana followed Draco into the Great Hall and just heard these words. The corners of her mouth curled up and she said to Draco sarcastically, "I was thinking of confronting Dumbledore, but I didn't think I was confident enough. Ron Weasley handed over this handle just in time."

Chapter 89 Slytherins have no right to interfere

Now all the limelight of Hogwarts has been stolen by Ariana, and Harry, as the savior, is not as glorious as expected.

Since Harry himself is not that successful, his friends naturally cannot benefit from it much, especially Ron, who repeatedly gets Harry into trouble, causing the Weasley brothers to lecture him from time to time.

Last time, Draco's shallow provocation not only caused Harry and Ron to be deducted 50 points, but also accidentally led them to the innermost room of the corridor on the fourth floor, where they saw the three-headed dog that Ariana had gone to Hagrid to ask about.

Today's conflict was caused by an argument between Ron and Hermione about something in the corridor on the fourth floor. Hermione was more assertive and hoped that Ron would agree with her point of view.

Ron has a strong sense of self-esteem, especially since he has been often denied during this period. He doesn't want to agree with Hermione, so the two of them started arguing.

At this time, they had not yet experienced the troll incident. The reason why Ron and Harry told Hermione what happened on the fourth floor was that they thought she was smarter and hoped that she could analyze the reason why the three-headed dog was placed on the fourth floor.

Because of the conflict in Hagrid's hut, Harry and Ron knew that the three-headed dog belonged to Hagrid, and it was Dumbledore who said that there was danger in the corridor on the fourth floor.

Hermione analyzed that Hagrid lent the three-headed dog to Dumbledore, probably to guard something important, and Harry thought of the things Hagrid took from Gringotts.

Ron immediately concluded that it was to prevent the Slytherins from stealing, and he even mentioned Ariana with a sly look.

After all, she is the strongest fighter in Slytherin, and she had inexplicably gone to Hagrid to ask about the three-headed dog before.

Hermione denied this possibility based on the current information. Although Ariana was a pure-blood, she grew up in the Muggle world, under the influence of the law, and was so rich. How could she be interested in things from the magical world to the point of stealing?

Moreover, Ariana's style of doing things was not as extreme as other pure-bloods, and she also influenced Draco to change his attitude towards Muggles.

Although she had a conflict with Ariana, Hermione was a rational person. She believed that Ariana had done nothing wrong in that conflict, so she naturally would not speculate about her with personal bias.

Ron also had conflicts with Ariana, and each time he ended up losing, and he always had resentment towards Ariana.

In addition, he is not as rational as Hermione, so it is impossible for him to look at things fairly and impartially.

If the dispute was limited to the two of them, it would not attract the attention of everyone in the hall. After all, this was not the first or second time that he and Hermione had quarreled.

What set Ron off like a powder keg was that all his brothers sided with Hermione and started lecturing him again.

Moreover, he seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke. In front of so many people, he felt completely humiliated.

Ron didn't find any evidence against Percy, but George and Fred's behavior yesterday was a very good starting point, so when Ariana entered the hall, she heard that incoherent sentence.

People were provoking the Slytherins in public. This wasn't Quidditch, which Ariana wasn't interested in. It would be unreasonable for her not to draw her wand.

Ariana glanced over the Slytherins and asked, "Is anyone interested in joining my conflict?"

The first one to jump out was Blaise. He looked at Ariana excitedly and asked, "Are you going to fight the Weasley brothers?"

Blaise also felt strange about Ariana's lukewarm attitude. Normally, he was more mature than Draco, and their family backgrounds were similar.

How come Draco could become Ariana's best friends, and even become her boyfriend, but he couldn't break through Ariana's defenses and enter her circle of friends?

Ariana said coldly, "It depends on their attitude. If they are willing to let Ron Weasley apologize, then I don't need to pull out my wand."

Otherwise, some people would say that she always pulls out her wand. Although this impression has already been given, any redemption is better than nothing.

Senior Farley, the prefect, stood up and said seriously, "We Slytherins have always been the most united. Since you want to go, we will definitely accompany you."

They may have disputes in private, but when facing outside, Slytherin is always the most united. And what Ariana said is right. People have provoked Slytherin in the hall. If they still tolerate it, they will have no blood at all.

The entire Slytherin group walked towards Gryffindor in a menacing manner, and finally stopped in front of the Weasley brothers.

Percy, the Gryffindor prefect, stood in front of several brothers and asked them, "This is the Great Hall. What do you want to do?"

In fact, he was asking even though he knew the answer. Why would Ariana, a troublemaker known for her fighting skills, bring people here other than to fight?

Generally speaking, Ariana follows the strategy of using courtesy first and force later, so she did not draw her wand immediately.

After hearing Percy's words, she sneered and said, "Yes, this is the Great Hall, not the Weasley family's living room. Even if you have opinions about Slytherin, you should argue in private. What does he mean by saying those words here?"

Percy knew that Ron was somewhat in the wrong for what he said about Slytherin. Although he was a fair man, he also had his own stance.

If Ron was pushed out at this time to calm the Slytherins' anger, Gryffindor's prestige would probably be completely destroyed.

Percy could only say coldly, "This is the Gryffindor table. Slytherins have no right to interfere."

The implication is that this is Gryffindor territory and they can say whatever they want.

Ariana asked sarcastically, "You mean when Slytherins are scolded in the face, they can only swallow their anger and listen."

Seeing that Percy still had no intention of asking Ron to come out and apologize, Ariana didn't waste any words. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at the four Weasley brothers.

"Either Ron Weasley apologizes to all of Slytherin, or we use our wands to talk?" Ariana didn't accept the third option.

Seeing the lightning-struck wooden wand, Percy's momentum weakened a bit. He said weakly, "He just complained a few times. There was no harm in it. I will deduct points from him later."

If Ariana could accept this solution, wouldn't it be demeaning for her to come here with such a threatening attitude? To deduct points from the academy she despised.

"You call us Slytherins evil by shouting in public? Then what do you mean by malicious intent?" Ariana asked using a loudspeaker spell.

The entire auditorium was watching this conflict. Her voice was loud and there was no noise around, so everyone could hear it clearly.

Chapter 90: Sticking together all day

No one in Gryffindor dared to refute Ariana, but no one asked Ron Weasley to apologize.

Ariana could only continue to question: "As far as I know, Slytherin occupies 5 of the 12 seats on the Hogwarts board of directors. The operation of Hogwarts basically relies on the financial support of the board of directors."

Then he glanced at Ron who was hiding behind Harry and laughed sarcastically again.

"He's complaining about Slytherin being evil, but why doesn't he complain about the food Slytherin provides being evil? Why doesn't he refuse the evil dormitory that Slytherin provided funding to renovate?"

Just as Ariana led a group of Slytherins to the Gryffindor table, someone went to find the professor.

Before the Weasley brothers could make up their minds to stand up and fight Ariana, Professor McGonagall arrived.

After understanding the whole story, Professor McGonagall was very disappointed with Ron. Two of the Weasley children had already graduated, and both were excellent in both character and academics.

As for the other three students, although Percy is a bit old-fashioned, he is also excellent. Although the twin brothers' noisy abilities are a headache, their grades are also quite impressive.

Only Ron was mediocre and brainless. If it weren't for his red hair, she would have suspected that he was not the Weasley child.

"Ron Weasley, you used to discriminate against Muggle-born wizards, and now you are hostile to Slytherin, who are a gathering of aristocratic families. What on earth do you want to do?" Professor McGonagall questioned in a very serious voice.

Harry's upbringing made him very good at reading people's expressions. In this situation, he immediately advised his friend: "Ron, apologize quickly."

Ron is a person who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Now that he has no one to support him, how can he hold on?

He lowered his head and said to Professor McGonagall, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about Slytherin."

The person who should have apologized didn't even get a look. Ron's attitude was clear at a glance.

Ariana stopped Draco from mocking her and said sarcastically, "Ron Weasley, this isn't the first time you've apologized, and I believe it won't be the last. After all, the idea of ​​being hostile to Slytherin has been ingrained in you."

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall immediately scolded Ariana, saying, "Colin, no one has ever instilled such a concept in him."

This has already escalated into hatred between colleges. If it is not handled properly, it will only exacerbate this sentiment.

Professor McGonagall can be said to be the most dedicated professor in the entire school. In fact, she also dislikes factional confrontation, prejudice and discrimination, otherwise she would not have reacted so violently when she heard Draco call Hermione a mudblood.

As for the issue of favoritism, it was all subconscious behavior, otherwise she would not have apologized to Ariana in the principal's office. Although she was very angry at the time, she did not hold a grudge against Ariana afterwards.

Seeing Professor McGonagall's face full of disapproval, Ariana retorted, "After the Wizarding War, too many Gryffindor family members died. Even if parents don't explain the hatred between the two sides to their children, they always bring it out in their words. Am I right?"

Professor McGonagall already knew what Ariana was trying to say. She said with a fierce face, "But didn't you also say that too many Gryffindor family members died after the war? People have emotions, and they can't control them subconsciously."

"Are there no dead people in Slytherin?" Ariana looked at her sarcastically.

Not only did many Slytherins die, but even more were imprisoned in Azkaban. Gryffindor did not receive such treatment.

Professor McGonagall admitted that she couldn't argue with Ariana. She took a deep breath and said, "These things are not suitable for discussion here. Please go to the headmaster's office after dinner. I hope you don't have anything important to do this time."

As the school's vice-headmaster, Professor McGonagall certainly knew that Ariana refused to go to the headmaster's office.

Snape had mocked her before, saying that all the troublesome students went to Gryffindor. She was so depressed at that time, and now it was Snape's turn to have a headache.

However, Professor McGonagall is a cultured person. She would not do something like Snape to mock her colleagues. She just secretly gloats in her heart.

But Professor McGonagall forgot that Ariana's thorny nature does not discriminate between camps. If you provoke her, you must be prepared to be hurt.

Sure enough, Ariana would never obey.

"Keeping things secret all the time will only lead to more speculation, especially for energetic teenagers. I think these things should be discussed clearly in the auditorium. It's not a conspiracy. What is there that must not be made known to others?" She was really fed up with the way things were handled in a shrouded in secrecy.

Professor McGonagall could only say firmly, "This involves teaching management. As a member of Hogwarts, you have an obligation to cooperate."

This was the method Snape announced to other professors. If he wanted Ariana to be obedient, he would ask her to cooperate by using the school rules and regulations as an excuse.

This little thorn is really too troublesome. Once she makes a decision, nothing can shake her.

Although she didn't know that Professor Snape had backstabbed her, Ariana gave in to Professor McGonagall because she was going to the headmaster's office tonight.

Ariana was really upset, but she couldn't help but mock Professor McGonagall.

"As the Vice-Principal, Professor McGonagall can certainly include any regulations in the scope of teaching management. Even if it weren't for today's incident, I would have visited the great Gryffindor Headmaster tonight."

The phrase "Headmaster of Gryffindor" was extremely ironic, especially when it was said loudly in the auditorium.

Fearing that the situation would escalate, Professor McGonagall simply glared at her and took Ron, who was always getting into trouble, away. Harry, who was worried about his good friend, also followed.

After a day of classes, Ariana kept her promise and went to Snape's office before going to the principal's office.

"Professor, I'm here to inform you that you should go to the principal's office in 10 minutes." It should take that much time to get from the basement to the eighth floor.

Snape frowned and said, "You made such a big fuss in the hall that you didn't even bother to inform me of the time. As your head of house, do you think the great Gryffindor headmaster wouldn't let me attend your defense meeting?"

Ariana looked at him speechlessly. Yesterday, she went to the Slytherin common room angrily. She didn't question him about the memory ball, but asked him to notify him of the time to go to the principal's office. Now she was the one who notified him and still complained. She was really hard to please.

"I'm just keeping my promise. Otherwise, next time when I ask you for something, you can't blame me for not being able to do it and asking others for it?" she complained speechlessly.

Snape did not follow Ariana out immediately, but glanced at Draco beside her.

"I don't think your defense needs Draco this time."

Snape felt that the two of them were like conjoined twins, sticking together all day long, which was very annoying.

He already knew that the Malfoy family acknowledged Ariana as Draco's girlfriend. He was not surprised by Lucius's choice, but wondered why he was so opposed to it before.

Chapter 91 Dumbledore feels a little regretful

Even though Lucius always spreads his feathers like a peacock all day long, Snape can't find out what he doesn't want to say.

Facing Snape, Draco was like a quail, not daring to say anything, and only Ariana could stand up and answer.

"He is my best friend and boyfriend. His mother is willing to be my guardian in the magical world. Besides, this kind of occasion can broaden his horizons. How could he miss it?" After saying this, Ariana wanted to bite her tongue. Why did her mouth move so quickly?

Snape was such a meticulous person. Ariana paused so obviously just now. If he didn't know what was going on, all his years of spying would have been in vain.

It turns out that these two people are not together yet. Snape's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly. Quirrell has been very active recently and even approached Harry.

He really didn't want Ariana, this variable, to be with Draco, which would affect her tendency to stand on a side in the future.

This little troublemaker has a very righteous idea. Just based on her identity as the girlfriend of Malfoy's heir, she will definitely not stand on the side of the mysterious man, but with love added, it is not certain.

Looking at Snape's half-smile, Ariana immediately realized that her hesitation just now made the other party confirm her relationship with Draco.

However, Ariana reacted quickly and came up with a solution after a little thought.

She turned to Draco and said, "The downside of good friends becoming lovers is that I still keep my old habits and always subconsciously call you my best friend."

She revealed a distressed expression as she spoke, and then said to Draco, "How can our relationship be deep if this continues? We have to change. From now on, you have to call me girlfriend more often, and I will call you boyfriend. If you want to add the best, that's fine too."

Draco's train of thought was quite unusual. He asked blankly, "But you are my only girlfriend. Who do you want to compete with to become the best?"

"Even in this regard, I still have to maintain my old habits, but it's not my fault. We've been together for too short a time, and I need to adapt as quickly as possible." Ariana spoke nonsense seriously.

By this time, Draco had already reacted and realized that Ariana was trying to make up for what she had just let slip. He immediately nodded and said, "We should all adapt as soon as possible."

Snape was a little uncertain again. After all, the two kids were too young, and the spies who had been observing them before were all adults, so he couldn't make any judgments based on previous experience.

When they arrived at the headmaster's office, Ariana saw that she and Draco were the only students there. She gave Dumbledore a glare and threw the three prepared reports on his desk.

"Finish reading these three reports first before we talk," she said angrily.

Ariana bet that the old man would say that she rejected the Weasley twins. Under such circumstances, he only asked her to come to the office, and she brought Draco herself.

Dumbledore ignored Ariana's angry look and kept his usual kind smile.

But before opening the report, he said to Ariana, "This is the first time I've received a report from a student. It's really a rare experience. But before that, can I make a small request?"

Ariana complained to him, "Your little requests don't seem too small to me."
