Perhaps thinking of his youth, the smile on Dumbledore's face became much more intense. He did not stop the two from leaving, but only announced their punishment.

"It's almost 11 o'clock now, and the curfew for grades 1 to 3 is 9 o'clock, so I have to deduct some points from you, just like Harry and the others, 50 points." This was definitely revenge.

Ariana didn't care: "It's your right."

After saying that, he pulled Draco downstairs. When they reached the third floor, Draco finally reacted and started complaining indignantly.

"Senior Farley will definitely tear us apart." He felt a little headache.

On the first day of school, Farley threatened the first-grade wizards that if they dared to make mistakes and have points deducted, he would make sure they knew how powerful he was.

Although there was no mention of any punishment, the tone sounded as if he was about to be severely beaten.

Ariana wasn't worried at all: "It's okay, I usually get so many points, can't I deduct 50 points?"

Ariana gains almost 5 to 10 points in every class, and that's without even answering questions actively. Because of her, Slytherin is now 112 points ahead of second-place Ravenclaw.

"But I didn't earn that many points." This was what Draco was struggling with.

Slytherin has the enchantress Ariana, and Gryffindor has the score-cheating maniac Hermione. Perhaps because of these two people, the threshold for other first-year students to obtain scores has become much higher.

Draco is also very good, but he is not like Hermione, who raises his hand to answer questions all day long, resulting in not getting that many points.

"They said that I took you out for a night walk and that's why we met Dumbledore. They didn't dare say anything." Ariana didn't think it was a big deal.

Ariana was worried about other issues. She frowned and said, "The Room of Requirement has been exposed. This is a bit difficult to deal with."

Draco didn't think this was a big deal.

"The Room of Requirement is within the school. We can find it by our own ability, so of course we can go there. Besides, he didn't object to us going there just now." It was impossible for Dumbledore to guard the door all the time.

It is true that she did not refuse them from going again, but the magic books inside might not be preserved. Ariana felt that she had to find a way to move the books away.

Ariana didn't plan to bring Draco along for this, so she said, "Let's go back first."

In the middle of the night, after Pansy fell asleep, Ariana used a coma spell on her, used an invisibility spell in the bedroom and ran to the 8th floor.

Having come here with Draco so many times, Ariana already knew the prerequisites for him to open the door. When she opened the door and saw the room full of books, she looked relieved.

"Luckily Dumbledore hasn't come to deal with the books yet."

Ariana cast an enlargement spell on the suitcase that had previously contained the candy, and put all the books she hadn't read into it.

Some of the books were not very well-behaved, so she had to design various restrictive magic devices on the spot. It took her three hours to put all the books in.

Looking at the suitcase, Ariana touched her chin and said, "I have to add a curse to this suitcase. Otherwise, if I forget to maintain the magic power, when the spell wears off, these black magic books will fill up the entire bedroom in an instant."

Because she stayed up all night, Ariana appeared in the lounge a little listless the next day. Draco, who was still energetic even though he woke up early, was very confused.

"Although we were delayed for a while yesterday, we usually go to bed after 11 o'clock. Why are you so listless?" Did Ariana make a flying ball for him after she came back?

Before Ariana could answer, Farley came to question the point deduction.

"Why do you want to go on a night tour?"

As the class leader, Farley knew the situation of all the Slytherins. Although Ariana caused a lot of trouble, she mostly followed the rules. She didn't seem like someone who liked to wander around at night.

Ariana explained calmly, "I found an empty classroom to do a magic experiment and lost track of time. I'll pay attention next time."

Farley didn't pursue the matter, but nodded and said, "Okay then."

Then he walked away leisurely.

Dragko was stunned and said, "Senior is just letting us off so calmly? I can't believe she threatened on the first day of school that anyone who dared to have points deducted would be severely punished."

It sounds like deducting points is some heinous crime.

Ariana analyzed, "We're currently a significant distance away from the other schools. We're way ahead, which is why she's so calm. If the gap was only 30 or 40 points, she probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

Don't think that Farley had scoffed at the House Cup before, but this is a way to show Slytherin's honor. It would be strange if she really didn't care.

Draco always cared most about his good friend, and he had not forgotten the topic just now.

"You haven't told me why you look so listless yet?" Maybe they have really made the circular flying ball?

Unfortunately, Ariana's answer was destined to disappoint him.

"Last night I took out all the magic books from the Room of Requirement. Some of the books were not very well-behaved, so I had to do a lot of curse defenses before I could put them back in. It took more than three hours. This is what happened due to lack of sleep." Ariana couldn't help but yawn again.

"So, we don't have to go to the Room of Requirement anymore?" Draco thought that without the flying ball, it would be fine to reduce the time spent learning magic.

Ariana shook her head and said, "I still have to go. Otherwise, where can I do those dangerous magic experiments? The protection there is the most suitable."

It seems that she has another task after returning home, which is to build a similar defensive room in the basement, which can be suitable for various dangerous magical experiments.

Seeing that his two wishes were not fulfilled, Draco made a third wish.

"Okay, I want you to help me improve my dueling skills. If you don't participate in this duel competition, I plan to win the final championship for you." He said with excitement.

Ariana was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "It's good to have dreams, what if they come true?"

Draco had previously complained about the competition's system, saying it would be difficult to win the championship before the fifth grade. Why does he have such big ambitions now?

Ariana only cares about her own things, but Draco likes the hustle and bustle. Every time he comes to the auditorium, he will not come back to sit down and eat until he walks around.

I don't know where this evil wind came from, but everyone thinks that they are the second strongest fighter in Hogwarts. Now not only Draco is overflowing with confidence, but even Neville wants to participate in the dueling competition.

Chapter 112 Thank you for your support

Under Ariana's serious gaze, Draco regained his composure a little and nodded, saying, "Well, there's still a good chance of becoming the first-year champion, right?"

He didn't think he would lose to anyone in the first grade except Ariana, but she wasn't participating in the competition.

Ariana reminded him quietly, "I don't think so. You've seen Potter's recent performance in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Although he can't learn it in one go like me, he mastered combat magic after just three or four attempts. It seems his talent lies in actual combat."

Before, Ariana had never figured out why Quirrell was so concerned about Harry's studies. After guessing that he was related to the mysterious man, she understood.

She probably wants to gain Harry's trust, then kidnap him in a dark corner and bring him to the Dark Lord. Ariana hasn't figured out how to break the prophecy yet.

Draco said unconvincedly, "But I learned it after three or four attempts."

Since there was no one around, Ariana pointed out mercilessly, "But the power of your spells is too far behind his. Why don't you go talk to Professor Quirrell about the location of the magic storage? If we take the initiative to come to him, he can't refuse, right?"

There was a big gap between Harry and Draco before, but after Quirrell started to take notice of Harry, the gap became smaller.

It's just like software and hardware. Harry's hardware is very powerful, but he just lacks the software. Draco originally had both software and hardware, but the hardware performance was very poor.

If this problem is not solved, Draco will be surpassed sooner or later. Given the young master's face-conscious personality, he will probably be furious again by then.

Going to find Quirrell might find a way to resolve the magic shock, but lovely Lianna is more important.

Draco asked in a low voice: "But didn't you say he was related to that so-and-so?"

Didn’t the two of them already agree that no matter what the mysterious man did, they would not get involved?

Ariana shook her head and explained, "Regardless of whether he's related or not, he's a professor at Hogwarts now, so he has to answer our questions, or you can go complain to Dumbledore about him."

If you don’t even want to answer students’ questions, what kind of professor are you?

Ariana decided to give every professor a book on educational psychology for Christmas so that they could improve their teaching level.

Draco didn't react when he heard that and said, "Why don't you go? Ah, I forgot. You don't want to go to the principal's office."

Ariana shook her head and said, "Professor Quirrell invited me, but he didn't want to invite you. Of course, you went to complain. Are you too cowardly to complain?"

She used the method of provoking the professors directly, and she felt that she could not be the only one who resisted the professors' behavior.

In addition to Draco, she should develop more subordinates. When there are more people resisting, she will not be conspicuous.

Draco couldn't stand being provoked, and upon hearing that, he immediately said, "Of course not. I'll go if I want to, and from now on, let me go wherever you don't want to go."

He is not stupid. Ariana just doesn't want to go to Dumbledore's office, but they are best friends, so he will be asked to do things that good friends are unwilling to do but must do.

Ariana also knew that the other party had seen through her little thoughts, but she did not argue, but gave the other party endless encouragement.

"This is the responsibility a boyfriend should have. Anyway, there is an automatic copier for the afternoon exam and you can copy the test papers yourself. I'll ask Adrian to help maintain order later. Let's go and confirm the exam classroom first. If there is still time, we can go and knock on Professor Quirrell's office door." If you are moved, just take action.

Professor Binns is a ghost. Although his classes make people sleepy, he is quite reasonable. When he heard that Ariana wanted to use the classroom for the exam, he agreed without saying a word.

Since they quickly finished tidying up the classroom, they naturally had some free time, so they went to look for Quirrell as planned.

After knocking for a minute, no one opened the door. I thought Quirrell was not there and was about to leave, but unexpectedly the door opened.

Quirrell still looked very weak, even more listless than yesterday. After confirming that the other party was not trying to scam her, Ariana was no longer worried about her money.

"Professor, we'd like to hear your opinion on the location of magic storage." Ariana said straight to the point.

"I remember that Colin didn't want to know this question, otherwise he wouldn't have refused yesterday." Quirrell glanced at Draco.

Ariana could see that the other party still wanted Draco to leave. They all had countermeasures and of course would not agree to the other party's subtle request.

"Professor, it's not that I don't want to come, it's you who refused me to bring my boyfriend. Don't forget that Draco is also a student of the school. He can also ask you questions about magic. It just so happens that we have the same questions." Ariana's answer was impeccable.

Quirrell was still trying to struggle, and retorted, "But Mr. Malfoy is not yet capable of such profound questions. Listening to them might affect his studies."

Ariana was speechless. Listening to a little magic explanation affected her studies. It's not a virus that will poison you if you get infected.

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Ariana went straight to the ultimate move.

"If the professor only discussed it with me and refused to talk to Draco, that would be discriminatory treatment. That's why the principal cancelled the professors' discriminatory treatment of me. If you treat Draco differently, he will go to the 8th floor to complain to the principal."

Last time when Ariana complained about his stuttering, although Dumbledore's attitude was very kind, his words implied that he would consider firing him if he didn't recover as soon as possible.

Voldemort hadn't gotten the Philosopher's Stone yet, so how could he let the parasite Quirrell leave Hogwarts? He could only strictly order Quirrell to stop pretending to stutter.

Hearing that Ariana was going to complain again, he immediately put away his arrogant attitude.

"I didn't mean to reject Mr. Malfoy. I was just worried that explaining this issue would affect his mind. After all, I saw his problem in class."

Ariana could see Draco's problem, so how could Voldemort not see it? He felt that this answer might be cruel to Draco.

Ariana retorted: "Finding problems and solving them is the only way to make progress."

It’s the same as before, if you keep everything hidden, the problem will never be solved.

Seeing Quirrell unwilling to let them in, Ariana could only take Draco's hand and pretend to leave.

"It seems Professor Quirrell is willing to accept another complaint. Let's go to the eighth floor." But she didn't move a step.

Voldemort obviously saw the threat posed by Ariana, but now he really had to bear this threat.

Before, Quirrell stuttered on purpose and he could correct it in no time. Now he would be complained about his teaching attitude. Even if he corrected it, he would still have to teach this little brat. Instead of making such a fuss or fulfilling her wish, it would be better to tell her now.

In fact, Voldemort was in a bad mood during this period, because he saw his own situation in Ariana.

Back then, he excelled in every aspect and failed to get the chance to stay in school during the holidays. On the other hand, Ariana was able to achieve her goal no matter how hard she tried. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others.

Don't even mention that there were no professors at the school during the holidays. For the students' safety, he wasn't allowed to stay. Didn't Dumbledore see the conditions in the orphanage? No matter how unsafe the school environment was, could it be worse than the orphanage?

Didn't Hagrid stay in school after being expelled? Did he move out during the holidays?

To put it bluntly, Dumbledore simply couldn't control him and was unwilling to speak for him.

"come in."

Voldemort looked at the little kid in front of him and thought it would be okay to tell her. Once her magic power increased, Dumbledore would only be more wary of her, and maybe she could share some of his firepower in the future.

Chapter 113 If He Loses in the Competition Harry

Quirrell's body was already very weak, and Voldemort had no intention of forcing Ariana to help him get the Philosopher's Stone.

Naturally, he didn't want to waste time with these two little brats, so he planned to finish his conversation as quickly as possible and send them away.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Colin came to me again to solve the problem of Mr. Malfoy's magical strength, right?" he asked straight to the point.

Not only Dumbledore could see that Ariana cared about Draco, but Voldemort could see it too.

School has only been open for over a month, so Ariana can't be so anxious to solve the problem of magic storage. After all, she still has 7 years.

On the contrary, if Draco does not solve the problem quickly, he will probably be left further and further behind by other young wizards.

Especially in the past few classes, with his help, the Savior's magic improved rapidly. Draco often showed jealousy, and the reason why Ariana was anxious was obvious.

Ariana never compared herself to others when she spoke about them, and she directly acknowledged Quirrell's question.

"Yes, Draco's learning progress is quite fast, but the spells he casts are weak. Magic is ultimately more inclined towards combat. If this problem is not solved, he will become less and less confident in the future."

My self-confidence has been severely hit now.

Moreover, the duel tournament is about to start in November. If it is not resolved before then, if he loses to Harry in the tournament, the blow will be even greater.

Voldemort thought about it and decided to use Transfiguration as a starting point to explain this problem to them.

"I believe Professor McGonagall said on the first day of class that magic is about believing in this theory." Transfiguration is arguably the most difficult course at Hogwarts.
