As long as it doesn't provoke her and it's just a few strange looks, Ariana is fearless.
Soon the hall was full of people, and even Dumbledore rarely appeared in the teacher's seat.
Before the food appeared on the table, Dumbledore knocked on the table, which was previously used to signal others to be quiet and to attract the attention of young wizards.
Now it only serves the purpose of attracting attention, after all, the auditorium is very quiet.
"Let me make it clear here that the flying spell that Slytherin classmate Colin used by the Black Lake this afternoon was not inherited from the Dark Lord, but learned from Professor Snape. Don't be so scared, everyone."
Draco listened to the surrounding discussions and leaned over to Ariana's ear and said, "He's trying to please you."
Ariana replied: "I think he's trying to test my limits and soften my attitude like before. He has a good idea."
There is no such beautiful thing as punching someone hard and then apologizing and asking for forgiveness.
Seeing that Dumbledore had almost calmed everyone's emotions, Ariana stood up and asked him a question loudly.
"I would like to ask Mr. Headmaster, since I learned this spell from Professor Snape, could you explain where Professor Snape's flying spell came from?"
If you want to please someone, then just lay everything out. If you can really say it out loud, then you are showing some sincerity.
The smile on Dumbledore's face faded a little, and he glanced at Snape sitting next to him, whose face showed no emotion.
"Of course, he learned this when he worked with the You-Know-Who." Dumbledore finally chose to say it.
Snape's hands were clenched tightly, but he didn't have the courage to stand up.
Whether it was the questions asked by Ariana or the answers given by Dumbledore, there was nothing wrong with them, they were all related to him.
Ariana said sarcastically, "That's good. The great principal used a colleague's past to calm the panic in the school, instead of telling everyone that this was my own research or pretending to be deaf and dumb."
At this point, Dumbledore could only say, "Unfounded speculation will only cause more panic. I think this is a good point."
Ariana's goal had been achieved, so she naturally sat down to eat.
This conversation further confirmed that Ariana had nothing to do with the mysterious man, and the fear she had felt about her immediately disappeared.
Then he began to denounce the classmates who had just spread the rumor that Ariana was the child of a mysterious man, and also complained about the classmates who were frightened in the Black Lake.
"I said Colin couldn't be the You-Know-Who's child. He hates Muggles so much, how could he raise his child in the Muggle world?"
"Professor Snape once followed You-Know-Who. It makes sense that he knows You-Know-Who's flying spell."
"I thought Colin and Professor Snape had a bad relationship. After all, the two of them fought in the classroom and used dark magic."
"Although Professor Snape has a bad temper, he appreciates talented young wizards. Colin's magical talent is unquestionable."
"Those students at the Black Lake were really crazy. They didn't know anything and just ran back to the castle in a panic."
As the auditorium returned to its former bustle, Ariana couldn't help but sigh and comment on tonight's events.
"Compared to this old man, I'm still too naive. He only said a few words about something that wasn't my fault, and he immediately took the moral high ground. Now he's acting like I'm being unreasonable."
Farley, who was sitting opposite Ariana, said sarcastically, "Hogwarts is Dumbledore's territory. He is naturally on the moral high ground."
Ariana complimented, "Senior sister always hits the nail on the head."
With Farley easing the atmosphere, Slytherin returned to their previous attitude towards Ariana, but there were some differences, and there was a lot more fear.
After dinner, Ariana and Draco went to Professor Snape's office and put the club application on his desk without saying a word.
"This is the application for the Duel Club."
Snape said expressionlessly, "I thought you had people spread the word about the 1000 Galleons, and the club would be established."
"Professor, the headmaster has already given in to me in the auditorium, so don't make fun of me." Ariana reminded the other party, and Dumbledore did not object.
Regarding the incident in the auditorium, Snape had no idea that he would be pushed out to calm public opinion. This step was not mentioned when they were discussing countermeasures in the principal's office.
But he did not blame Dumbledore and Ariana's stance. After all, what they said was not wrong.
He had indeed learned this flying spell from the mysterious man, and he also taught Ariana the spell analysis.
But he felt like he was being stabbed in the back by these two people, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept it.
"He chose to back down regarding the club and the Black Lake incident, hoping you could take back what you said in the principal's office." This is what Dumbledore asked him to tell Ariana.
Ariana looked at Snape in shock, not believing what she heard, and imitated the way he spoke.
"Professor, did I hear correctly? A dignified headmaster, the most powerful white wizard in the wizarding world, actually wants to make a deal with a first-year troll like me?"
Snape couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He said sarcastically, "Yeah, he threatened to learn the three unforgivable curses, and he also knows all kinds of dark magic knowledge. Now he even dares to use the Dark Lord's flying spell in public. What a powerful first-year troll."
Hearing the other party's ridicule, Ariana reminded him: "Professor, you may not have told him my threat to blow up Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall should have told him that I wanted to blow up the Ministry of Magic."
Snape could no longer bear it and growled, "Stupid little troll, can't you be a little more low-key?"
"I can't, because I think you're all abnormal. I'm just doing what normal people do." Ariana ignored the glare.
Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics were effective, Snape could only tell Ariana some inside information, hoping that she would stop and not push Dumbledore too far.
"The great Gryffindor Headmaster has his own plans concerning the safety of the wizarding world and the reform of Hogwarts. He promises to do his best to cooperate with you next year."
Dumbledore still had the same idea as before, that everything would be decided after Voldemort was dealt with.
Chapter 103 There will be a big explosion
Snape should have told Ariana about this request from the beginning, but he thought that she was a Slytherin student and was under his jurisdiction.
If this little troublemaker thought this was some kind of imperial sword, Snape felt that he would have a huge headache.
Now that Ariana is stubborn, I can only say something to comfort her.
Unfortunately, Ariana couldn't accept this proposal at all.
"I hate it most when people make me wait. If I think something is right, I should do it immediately. Even if I fail, I won't regret it later." Ariana said with a determined look on her face.
In her previous life, she died because she didn't get the right heart. This made her realize one thing: if you don't have something in your hands, everything is empty.
She will fight for what she wants.
In fact, of the three reports Ariana submitted to the principal's office, two have already been met. As for the problem of magic power storage, she just needs to find a solution herself.
And Ariana still remembered that Dumbledore told her that he wanted to discuss it, not tell her the answer.
In other words, he didn't know the exact location where the magic power was stored, and he probably only had a rough guess.
Snape looked at the little troublemaker with a headache and said unhappily, "Come back in three days to get the signed application form and the classroom key."
In fact, Hogwarts also had a dueling club in the past, but it was set up by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Ever since the mysterious man's curse began, professors have been replaced one after another, and the club naturally disappeared.
As for the duel competition, Ariana paid for it herself and did not ask the professor for help. The school had no choice but to stop her.
It was all this little thorn's fault. Even after her demands were met, she still looked unhappy. Snape hadn't thought of this, so he had lost his last bit of patience with her and waved his hand for her to leave.
Before leaving, Ariana thought about what happened in the auditorium, looked at him and said, "Professor, I'm sorry about what happened in the auditorium."
Snape was stunned when he heard this, then he commented lightly: "It's really rare to hear a little troublemaker like you say sorry."
It's no wonder Snape has this attitude. With Ariana's personality, she should be the kind of person who will never admit her mistakes.
But if you think about her code of conduct, she's not like that. She clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, doesn't dwell on the past, and corrects her mistakes as soon as she realizes them, so it doesn't seem surprising.
Ariana ignored the other party's coldness and gave an explanation for why she asked that question.
"The less people discuss something, the more interested they become. Everyone who should know about the professor's undercover work as a Death Eater knows about it, but those who don't still dare to discuss it in their hearts. It's better to make it known openly to everyone, so that no one will discuss it anymore."
Snape said with a dark face: "Your apology is totally insincere."
Even if she apologized, she could still find a plausible excuse for herself, which was something she could do.
Ariana was irritated by the other party's two sarcasms and asked angrily, "At least I apologized. Did the great principal apologize to you?"
The answer was beyond Ariana's expectations.
"Yes." Snape looked at her with a half-smile.
Ariana choked, she wasn't one to soberly lose.
"Well, it seems that we two willful people acted impulsively and caused you, professor, to be innocently implicated." The second apology was light and airy.
Seeing that Ariana was in a good mood, Snape didn't chase her away. He wanted to give her some advice so that this little troll would not be unable to graduate.
"Dumbledore's character is not as bad as you think, otherwise he wouldn't be staying in Hogwarts with his abilities."
Although Snape didn't like Dumbledore's way of doing things, this old honey who loved candy still had bottom lines and principles.
Ariana now had a particular aversion to Dumbledore, and when she heard Snape talking about him, she immediately became angry.
"For someone as powerful as him, Professor, do you think he would choose to work for the Ministry of Magic instead of staying in Hogwarts, a magical place?"
Having read so many books about Dumbledore, Ariana knew that Dumbledore had refused to be Minister of Magic several times.
If Ariana were in Dumbledore's position, faced with a school full of magic and the Ministry of Magic full of intrigue, she would of course choose the school.
And Dumbledore is not just the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Seeing that Ariana didn't understand what he meant, Snape had to speak more bluntly.
"I just want to tell you that if he had a bad character, he wouldn't be as energetic as he is now, considering all the trouble you've caused." Two Dark Lords were defeated by him. Isn't that enough to prove the point?
"Then Hogwarts will become a ruin." Ariana reminded Snape of what she had said before.
Snape's tone softened slightly as he continued, "Since he's made a promise, he'll definitely cooperate with you in reforming the culture of Hogwarts next year. I can see that he feels a little regretful for rejecting you in the headmaster's office."
Although the dueling class has not been opened, she was allowed to start the dueling club. Why doesn't this little giant know when to quit?
Ariana's depressed mood had improved a lot since she came out of the principal's office. When she heard Snape mention this time next year again, her mind started working.
"He specifically requested it several times until next year. I guess he has important things to do at Hogwarts this year and needs others to cooperate with him. But why? His time is precious, and everyone else's time is shit."
What he does is his, and no one can interfere with it, but he shouldn't interfere with others either, especially what Ariana wants to do, which is all within the rules.
"Just because he is the most powerful white wizard in the magical world, he can turn you into a blank sheet of paper with just one forgetfulness spell." Nice words didn't work, so she could only let her know the seriousness of the matter.
Ariana had read many history books and of course knew about the Oblivion Charm. When she heard that Dumbledore would use this spell on her without any scruples, she immediately became extremely alert.
"Thank you for the reminder, Professor. It seems I need to set up a memory safety mechanism. Tell him that if this defense mechanism is triggered, Hogwarts will definitely be in a huge explosion."
It seems that hackers can be used to maliciously inject link magic signals. As long as the special signal is exposed, this script will attack the bomb hidden somewhere in Hogwarts and then detonate the target point?
Seeing that it was useless to say anything good or bad, Snape was a little defeated and directly shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"
Ariana was speechless. She got angry because she couldn't win the argument. What kind of temper does Snape have?
"Professor, you don't have to be too angry. I brought three reports to the principal's office, and now two have been implemented. As for the magic power storage, I don't think he knows the answer either, so I have achieved all my goals."
The implication is that the goal has been achieved, and if the other party doesn't cause trouble, I won't cause trouble either.
Snape then realized that it was not just the three reports. It seemed that after entering Hogwarts, every time this little brat made trouble, although it was rather ugly, in the end she got what she wanted.
"Then be quiet." Snape still advised.
Ariana agreed: "Of course I will be content, but according to my standards."
Snape didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he set up the cauldron immediately after sending her away.
I plan to spend the whole night wandering in the world of potions to forget about the damn little thorn and the White Lord.
Chapter 104 I’m afraid no one can beat you
After leaving the office, Draco, who had been silent the whole time, was finally able to speak.
He said with lingering fear, "I was worried that the duel tournament wouldn't be held."
Ariana was stunned when she heard this, then she said, "You're worried even when you're with me, so I'm afraid others will be even less confident. Let's go back to the lounge and let our club members know about this, and then spread the news."
The competition starts in November, which is only a month away.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, Draco felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Senior Farley must be waiting in the lounge. I've noticed that they've all been kind of following you lately."
If it was before he entered school, he would definitely be jealous of Ariana, but not now.
Apart from the fact that she was his best friend, and because of one thing after another, Draco had no time to think about anything else.
Regarding Slytherin's changes, Ariana said unsatisfiedly: "This situation is sometimes good, and sometimes not."
Draco asked in confusion, "Isn't the ultimate goal of your immigration plan to have millions of people relying on you for food? There are only a hundred or so people in the entire Slytherin family. Aren't you used to that?"
When Draco heard her goal, his three views were shocked, and he also held himself to the same goal.
"Pointing at me while eating and being afraid of me are two different things. Now the Slytherins are obviously afraid of me. This will easily lead to a one-man show of authority. People are bound to make mistakes. If I'm going in the wrong direction, who can point it out to me?"
