"Okay, I'm willing to run errands for you. By the way, can I participate in your club competition? Although I don't have the ability to win the championship, I want to know what my ranking is in Hogwarts." In fact, he still hopes to win the championship.
If his family had money, he wouldn't have worked part-time in the library to earn money for his studies.
Ariana saw that many people were looking over and knew that everyone wanted to listen.
She smiled and said loudly, "Any Hogwarts student can participate in this competition, regardless of school, bloodline, or background."
After getting a satisfactory answer, William Stewart's smile became even brighter, and he praised Ariana before leaving.
"Colin, I think you're great."
Ariana looked at William Stewart's running back and gave her comment with a smile.
"It seems even wizards can be realistic. It's so good like now, everyone is only concerned with money."
Draco didn't want his good friend to pay attention to someone else, so he talked to attract her attention.
"You only said you wouldn't go to the principal's office, but you didn't say you wouldn't go to the professor's office. Will Professor McGonagall give you trouble?" he asked worriedly.
Don't start another conflict. Although it's exciting, he doesn't want Ariana to be angry all the time.
Ariana didn't care anymore. She shook her head and said, "Let her find it. I rejected Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall followed suit. She didn't even ask me in advance if I was okay. She just asked me to go."
It's enough to be stupid once. Just like what I said to Draco before, the professor can find her in the Slytherin common room if he has anything.
Hoping to cheer Ariana up, Draco suggested, "Don't think about it. We only have one class this afternoon. Let's go ride our brooms afterward."
"Tomorrow is the first Quidditch training, and you're going to ride a broom today. What were you thinking?" Ariana got a headache when she heard Draco mention Quidditch.
Draco immediately retorted, "This is a new broom. Shouldn't we test its performance?"
Ariana didn't even want to complain, not to mention that they had already tried it, they also used this Nimbus 2000 for two rounds of Quidditch selection.
Now that he's an official member, this childish guy actually wants to try out the broom.
"Why did I hear Goyle say that you go out early every morning? Aren't you going to ride your broom?" Ariana looked at him dimly.
Speaking of this, Draco also complained: "The rest of my time is occupied by various things. I can only practice early in the morning. Otherwise, my flying skills will be rusty, and how can I score in the competition?"
Seeing that Ariana still wanted to refuse, Draco used his trump card.
"I'm going to play fencing with you in front of everyone regardless of what others think, and you accompany me to ride a flying broom for a while, what's wrong with that?" He glared at his good friend.
Ariana really didn't want to ride the broom, feeling it was so silly, so she struggled and asked, "Can you ride it yourself while I sit on the bottom and read?"
Draco broke her fantasy: "Of course not. What's the point of riding by yourself? It's fun only when there's a competition!"
Being a Chaser is about reaction speed, adaptability, and teamwork. How can you get the feeling of riding a broom alone?
Ariana really didn't want to ride the broom, so she suggested, "How about I compete with you using the flying spell."
Her suggestion was great, as it allowed her to accompany Draco and conduct research at the same time. If Draco was unwilling, she would have to use extreme measures.
Draco, who loves flying brooms, was very interested in this spell.
Hearing Ariana's words, he pressed the issue, "Don't you still need to improve the speed of this spell now that you have all the necessary data?"
Ariana had collected a lot of data on the flying broom before, and later she heard her mutter that she still needed data on the spell itself, but she hadn't tried it yet.
Although she had never tried flying it, she had simulated it in her mind. Ariana explained the reason helplessly.
"The flying spell is different from other spells. It has to take environmental factors into consideration, such as the humidity and wind speed in the air, as well as factors such as light brightness. It needs to be adjusted after actual use." To put it bluntly, there are too many variable data.
As long as it wasn't about magical theory, Draco was quite willing to discuss it with Ariana.
"Then let's go. I want to see what the mysterious man's flying spell looks like. There are not many people near the Forbidden Forest." He said this in a low voice.
Ariana's voice didn't change. She objected, "Why go there? The Black Lake is quite empty."
"What if someone sees us?" Draco frowned.
Ariana understood what the other person meant, but she disagreed.
"What's wrong with that? I complain all day about professors being unwilling to do things openly. If I hide in the Forbidden Forest and practice flying spells, what's the difference between me and them?" Just do your own thing and let others say whatever they want.
Seeing that Draco was still trying to persuade him, Ariana put her hand on his shoulder and said, "No matter how many conflicts there are, I won't start a fight, but I'm not afraid of it either. I still think the same as before. If anyone dares to accuse me of being a Death Eater, then produce evidence. If you don't have evidence, shut up."
Draco smiled sheepishly, "I'm always worried that if things get out of hand, you'll leave Hogwarts."
"If you want to stay with me, then we'll leave together. Anyway, with your current learning progress, I can definitely teach you." Ariana thought it was good to know Draco.
The two of them took their things to the edge of the Black Lake, and Ariana found two stones and transformed them into a desk.
She put down her schoolbag, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the final analysis of the flying spell.
Since Slytherin had been promised that he would share his magical research findings, he couldn't keep all that knowledge to himself.
Ariana thought that maybe she could learn from Gilderoy Lockhart and write a few novels, with the other writing about various adventure journeys while she would be writing about the process of studying various spells.
Anyway, the writer's artistic processing is very obvious. No one should say anything if she adds some ups and downs in the fictional plot.
Ariana used to be the center of attention only in Slytherin, but now the focus has spread to the entire Hogwarts, and there are many young wizards by the Black Lake.
She and Draco hadn't done anything yet and they were already being noticed.
When the little wizards saw her rise directly into the air, they were all so scared that they sat down on the ground.
Chapter 99 Her father couldn’t be a mysterious person
The flying spell is not only used by Voldemort, but other wizards also use it occasionally. However, the characteristics of Voldemort's flying spell are very obvious. It will turn into black mist when moving quickly.
Ariana did not modify this feature of the Flying spell, and now it is to collect data from the original version.
When used, it is naturally exactly the same as what Voldemort used.
The little wizard was so scared that he sat on the ground by the Black Lake. His legs went weak and he couldn't stand up, but he could still open his mouth to speak. He couldn't help but pull the classmates around him to talk.
"Colin went up into the air without a broomstick. Am I mistaken?"
"It's definitely correct. Didn't you see that black fog? That's the symbol of the mysterious man's flying spell."
"Who is Colin? He actually knows the mysterious man's flying spell."
"She said she had never met her parents, but left behind a large fortune. Do you think her father is the mysterious man?"
"I think it's very likely. She is the same age as Harry Potter. Voldemort was still around when she was one year old."
"Let's go quickly."
Ariana had already risen into the sky, so she naturally didn't notice that the little wizards around her were so scared that they sat down on the ground, but Draco was still on the ground.
Although Draco was far away and couldn't hear what they were discussing, he could see the terrified looks in their eyes clearly.
Everyone was avoiding his gaze like they were a flood or a beast, and Draco could only suppress the panic in his heart and hold on.
At this moment, he sincerely hoped that Ariana would come down and stand with him.
It seems that I can't stay too far away from Ariana in the future. Not only will I feel extremely bored, but I will also feel endless fear.
The little wizards who had recovered a little ran back to the castle in twos and threes, and soon Draco was the only one left by the Black Lake.
Ariana just tried it out and collected the original flying spell data before coming down.
Seeing that Draco was the only one left by the Black Lake, she asked in confusion, "Is it going to rain? Why did everyone go back to the castle?"
Draco said with lingering fear: "You underestimated the power of this flying spell. Everyone was scared away by you."
Ariana didn't care when she heard that, and seeing the fear on Draco's face, she patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"It's okay, just like I told you, everything has a first time. You'll get used to it after seeing it many times." She knew Draco must be scared by the black fog.
I dare not mention or say anything. Fear will only grow. Someone has to stand up and be the first one. What if that person is her?
With Ariana by his side, Draco seemed to have enough courage and quickly calmed down.
"You don't know how horrified they were all staring at me just now, giving me goosebumps. I didn't hear clearly what they said, but I heard them mention the mysterious man." He told Ariana about what happened just now.
But Draco felt a little strange. He only heard about the mysterious man, and no one mentioned the Death Eaters. Could it be that these people still suspected that Ariana was the reincarnation of the mysterious man?
Draco immediately dismissed this idea, because Ariana was already one year old when the mysterious man died.
As for the speculation that Ariana was the mysterious man's child, Draco didn't even think about it.
Because his grandfather said that the You-Know-Who hates Muggles, if Ariana is the You-Know-Who's child, how could she grow up in the Muggle world.
Since she chose to come to the Black Lake to test the flying spell, Ariana had already anticipated this situation, and she didn't think it was a big deal.
"Just bring it up, don't worry about them. It's you, on the other hand, who has been with me for so long, yet you are still so timid. But it doesn't matter. You used to be very afraid of your father, but now you are not afraid of him anymore." She encouraged Draco to keep going.
After being exposed by Ariana, Draco also remembered that he used to be very afraid of his father, but now he is not afraid at all.
His father wrote to him yesterday, and his attitude was much better than before, but he just refused to agree to buy him a big villa.
He said that he didn't have enough cash, but Ariana clearly said that he could pay a deposit first. However, his father seemed to have completely forgotten about this and didn't want to buy it at all.
Draco hasn't mentioned this to Ariana yet, mainly because he feels a little embarrassed. What if his good friend thinks the Malfoys can't afford it?
"Well, what you said makes sense. Just like my dad, I'm not afraid anymore after so many experiences."
Draco put the idea of buying a villa out of his mind, picked up the broom and wanted to fly to the sky.
Ariana held him down.
"Wait a moment, I've just collected the necessary data. After some further adjustments, I can optimize the speed, and then we can race."
Draco certainly didn't mind waiting for Ariana for a while, so he sat next to her and watched her write and draw on the paper.
"No matter how many times I read this kind of spell analysis, I still can't understand it." He really admired Ariana's understanding of the spell.
In the past, everyone learned magic through professors’ demonstrations. At most, they had some specious theories, and people just copied what they learned.
Ariana's magic analysis is accurate to the value, division, and even formula of the spell.
The research is clear and straightforward, without any ambiguity.
Hearing Draco's envious tone, Ariana said to him, "If you really want to understand, you can study math, physics, and chemistry in junior high school, high school, and college in the Muggle world. It would be best to learn all kinds of number theory in math, and then study hacking technology."
These are probably what she learned in her previous life, plus some random things. She is not sure if they are useful. Her knowledge has long been integrated and she can't tell which part belongs to which subject.
In this life, I mainly study business and investment, as well as art classes that cultivate one's character.
Although Ariana didn't mention what she had learned in her life, Draco was not stupid and could usually see what she was doing.
"We're the same age. Even if you're quick-witted, you can't possibly learn so much, right? Besides, you still have to manage company affairs. You also need to go to school to learn etiquette and fencing."
I just can't understand how Ariana can learn so much. She is only 11 years old.
Of course, Ariana couldn't tell the other party that she was a time traveler, so she could only divert Draco's attention.
"Time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there will always be some. I'm ready, boyfriend, let's start the game." She beckoned Draco to get on the broom.
"So soon?" Draco looked at her in shock.
Is it possible to improve a spell so quickly? Before, in the Room of Requirement, she had to revise and verify it over and over again.
Sometimes he would get annoyed watching her, but Ariana was still very patient, checking all kinds of calculations as if she was tireless.
"Didn't I tell you? I have improved this spell. All I need is a few pieces of data for the final debugging. You go up first." Ariana explained.
Draco didn't bother to be polite with her. After all, Ariana was flying very fast just now.
After Draco came into the air, Ariana quickly followed, and the two planned to race around the Black Lake.
Ariana looked at him provocatively and asked, "Do you want me to give you two minutes?"
Draco was so angry. The circumference of the Black Lake was only about 6.8km. With the maximum speed of the Nimbus 2000, it would take only 1 minute and 36 seconds to fly back. But lovely Liana actually asked him to take 2 minutes.
Although Ariana flew very fast just now, Draco was confident that his speed was not slower than hers.
"No need, we will do our best." He still had some spirit.
Unfortunately, after the run, Draco's spirit was gone because Ariana waited for him for 40 seconds at the finish line.
Chapter 100 Blow up Hogwarts?
"The flying spell you modified is much faster than before. I didn't even see the black mist you transformed. How can we compare? Let's compete on flying brooms." Draco looked at her complainingly.
Before Ariana could answer, a figure suddenly appeared beside them on a broom.
The person who came was Professor McGonagall, who was angrily scolding Ariana and Draco.
"You two, get out of here." Her voice was very high-pitched.
The school does not allow riding broomsticks near the Black Lake, for fear of accidentally falling into the lake.
