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

Voldemort also grew up in the Muggle world, so of course he knew that changing from one object to another was definitely not as simple as a change in appearance. It was a change from qualitative to quantitative, which directly subverted people's cognition.

Ariana frowned and asked, "Draco can cast a spell, which proves that he believes it. Doesn't that mean he doesn't believe it enough?"

When she first learned Transfiguration, Ariana hadn't thought about how wood could be transformed into iron.

Instead, she believed that any object had a specific energy, and she only needed to use magic to change two energy values.

As for the reason why the magic of Transfiguration will recover after dissipating, it is because magic is not a fixed value, but a variable. There is no fixed procedure, so it is normal for it to change.

Later research on the principles of the curse further proved this point, so she never doubted this step.

Voldemort shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The strength of magic is related to emotions. Professor Snape should have told you this."

This was what he taught Severus back then. This subordinate was so obsessed with magic that it was impossible for him to forget such important knowledge.

This brat is from Slytherin. Nowadays, Slytherin is losing its talent. Even if Severus dislikes her very much, as the head of the school, he should not stop her from improving her magic. He must have told her this knowledge.

Ariana nodded in agreement, then asked, "He did mention this, but I feel like Draco's problem is that his magic isn't strong enough. If we solve that problem, he should be able to ignore the strength of his magic, right?"

The strength of magic should be a question of magic attributes, which she has not yet studied.

The solution she thought of for Draco was to find the place where the magic power was stored and build a pressure device at the magic power outlet to directly bypass the problem of magic power intensity.

Voldemort obviously understood Ariana's plan, and he couldn't help but laugh at the naivety of this little brat.

But at the same time, I was also shocked. Her research on magic has been so advanced, and she is only in the first grade.

When he was in his first year, he was still immersed in the various guiding theories of the professors, but this kid had already broken away from the professors' thinking and thought about how to solve the problem on his own.

"I heard that although you are a pure-blood, you grew up in the Muggle world. Influenced by Muggle thinking, you imagine magic as water. You believe that there is a water reservoir in the human body, and you think that you can artificially create an impact device at the water outlet to enhance the impact of magic. Am I right?" Voldemort asked.

"Isn't it possible this way?" That's what Ariana thought.

Voldemort didn't deny it, but simply said, "I haven't thought about this, but there's one thing you haven't considered. Magic has properties. That is to say, the magic within you has momentum, and the magic you channel out also carries momentum. That's why there's this concept of innate magical strength."

This is very obvious in Ariana, as her magic power is much stronger than others.

The same lethal spell might cause nosebleeds on others, but she could kill people.

She had thought about the attribute of magic before, and vaguely felt that it was related to a person's personality.

For example, she doesn't know what fear is, so her magic is so strong, while Draco is very timid, so his magic is weak.

To confirm what she was thinking, Ariana asked, "What factors cause the different attributes of magic power in the body? After all, everyone is born with a blank slate, so logically, the magic attributes should be the same."

If it was the influence of personality, then people's personality can change at any time, which was the main reason why she had not been sure before.

Voldemort did not hide anything and gave the answer directly.

"What affects magical properties is the spirit or the heart. Just like when I look at the two of you, I can tell at a glance that you are a young wizard with a strong heart and spirit, but Mr. Malfoy is the complete opposite, and this is reflected in your magic."

Ariana immediately raised her doubts.

"If that's the case, then it's nothing. A person's personality is formed by both innate and acquired factors. Innate factors cannot be changed, but acquired factors can be artificially intervened." It would be great if Draco could just change his personality.

Ariana felt that the reason why Draco was so timid was entirely because of his father. If he stayed with her in the future, he would gradually change.

Looking at Ariana with a determined look on her face, Voldemort tried not to laugh.

Does he think he can do anything? It can only be said that this kid is still at the stage of being a newborn calf fearless of tigers in terms of magic.

He again denied Ariana's fantasy.

"It's not as simple as you think. For example, if a very weak person is forced into a desperate situation, there's a certain chance they'll fight back. But afterward, will they return to their weak state? Magical power is the most reflective of a person's character. It can't be faked, and it can't be ignored."

The magic properties are what they should be, just like transfiguration, when the magic dissipates, it will return to its original form.

Ariana retorted unconvincedly, "Didn't the professor just say that he hadn't researched the magic outlet? I can design an impact device to solve the problem of his magic impact force being insufficient."

She was confident that the magic properties could be changed, but time was running out. After all, the duel competition was in November, and she really didn't want to see her good friend's eyes red with anger again.

Voldemort shook his head and said, "You haven't understood what I mean. Even if magic is drawn out of the body, its properties remain. Even if you can make it have impact at the moment of drawing it out, it will return to its weak properties when performing the spell. How do you solve this problem?"

Even if the state at the moment of induction is changed, the essential properties cannot be changed. The problem returns to the starting point and the properties of the magic need to be changed.

Ariana finally confirmed, "So the only way to solve Draco's problem is to make him stronger mentally or spiritually?"

Chapter 114 I Don’t Want to Be Complained About Again

In history, people whose temperaments changed drastically often encountered great setbacks. The young master came from a wealthy family and was loved by his parents, so it was impossible for him to have such an opportunity.

And she was reluctant to see Draco's personality change drastically. It was good for him to be happy every day. Isn't the purpose of life to be happy?

Voldemort replied with certainty, "It is so difficult to change a person's character, let alone to maintain it permanently. That is why I do not recommend that Mr. Malfoy listen to the explanation of this issue with you."

After knowing this cruel reality, Abu's grandson was probably devastated. Fortunately, this subordinate had died long ago, so he didn't have to worry about his resentment.

Ariana also saw Draco's sad expression, and remembered asking him why he learned magic.

At that time, he quickly answered that he wanted to become a strong man, which shows how much he wanted to become strong.

"It's just difficult, not completely impossible, Draco, do you believe me?" She put her hand on her good friend's shoulder.

Draco replied blankly: "Of course I believe you."

Knowing that Draco was deeply hurt, Ariana could only say firmly, "I will definitely solve this problem. Besides, who says being weak doesn't mean you can't attack? You can always overcome strength with softness. At worst, I can design an attack spell that suits your magical attributes."

The soft magic attribute seems to be more suitable for healing magic. The positive effect of that kind of magic is to save people. What about the reverse effect? ​​It seems that this is a good research direction.

Just now, Draco just subconsciously said that he believed it, but when he saw his good friend already thinking of a solution, he felt some hope and peace of mind in his heart.

"I will always believe in you." He felt that there was nothing Ariana couldn't do if she wanted to.

After calming Draco down, Ariana turned her gaze to Quirrell and said, "Now that we've discussed the properties of magic, let's talk about the storage of magic."

Voldemort said speechlessly: "Of course no problem, I don't want to be complained about again."

Regardless of whether the person in front of her was related to the mysterious man, Ariana admitted that she had gone a bit too far just now, and it was indeed not a good idea to threaten people.

"I'm sorry, Professor. These two problems have troubled us for too long, and you refused to tell us directly, so we had to resort to extraordinary measures."

She apologized very sincerely, but if it happened again, she would still threaten me. She is the type of person who knows she is wrong but refuses to repent.

Voldemort could feel that Quirrell's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he needed to get off the line as soon as possible, so he didn't waste any words.

"Magic power is stored in the spirit, and the spirit is related to the brain. This is my answer." In fact, everyone's answer is slightly different.

As an old rival, Voldemort knew that Dumbledore believed that magic was stored in emotions, and love was the most positive emotion, so he kept shouting about love and not love.

Ariana didn't expect this, and asked in confusion: "Professor, do you have any evidence?"

Voldemort did not answer directly, but asked: "As students of Slytherin House, have you ever learned about the experience of the founder?"

Ariana had only read modern history, and the history of Slytherin dated back more than nine hundred years, so how could she know the whole story?

So he turned his gaze towards Draco, which was his own encyclopedia of the magical world.

Draco received the signal and nodded in response, "The most famous thing is the disagreement between him and Gryffindor over admissions. Gryffindor accepted everyone, while Slytherin only wanted to admit pure-bloods. He then left Hogwarts and never returned."

If it were the old Draco, he would definitely have belittled Gryffindor, but under the influence of Ariana, he now speaks and acts much more fairly and justly.

Especially since he has now accepted Ariana's ideas and feels that Slytherin and Gryffindor are just differences in admissions rather than a dispute over bloodline, but he has not realized this.

Voldemort didn't bother to correct his subordinate's grandson's misconceptions, and simply said, "I'm not talking about his feud with Gryffindor, but about the rumors about his training."

Draco thought for a moment and said, "I heard that he learned too much dark magic, which ruined his appearance and made him mentally ill."

I heard that Slytherin was a very handsome man in his early years, but people who saw him later said that he didn't look like a human at all, and his face had many characteristics of magical animals.

Voldemort did not refute Draco's explanation, but looked at Ariana and asked, "Student Colin grew up in the Muggle world. Have you ever heard of a case where a mentally ill patient's appearance was completely disfigured?"

When he was a child, he was often threatened with being sent to a mental hospital, and Voldemort was quite familiar with the conditions in mental hospitals.

Ariana thought for a moment, shook her head and replied, "It seems not. Although mental disorders can cause distorted expressions, I haven't heard of anyone being disfigured by mental illness."

Voldemort concluded, "So, learning the Dark Arts doesn't affect your appearance at all, and there's no evidence of mental disorder."

Not only did Ariana know the importance of learning by standing on the shoulders of giants, but Voldemort also knew it.

Back then, he studied the past of these powerful wizards a lot, such as the despicable Hercules. It was from this man's training experience that he learned how to make Horcruxes.

Ariana nodded in understanding and asked, "I understand what you mean, Professor. Slytherin used some special method to fuse the nerves of magical creatures to develop his brain, thus affecting his appearance?"

From Draco's explanation, Slytherin's face embodies the characteristics of more than one magical animal.

From this point of view, this person should have done fusion more than once. He wouldn't be so bold as to do a complex experiment for the first time, right?

Voldemort looked at Ariana with an ambiguous expression and said with a smile, "Everything has its pros and cons. It depends on whether you are willing to trade your looks for a significant increase in magic power."

After all, the little wizard in front of me is a girl, and maybe she is reluctant to give up her pretty face.

However, her only problem now is that she does not have enough magic power. Maybe she will take a risk in her haste to teach Dumbledore a lesson?

Ariana thought for a while and came to a different conclusion from Voldemort.

"This shouldn't just be a matter of exchanging looks for magic power. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. How can we tamper with it so easily?"

She ignored the other's disapproving look and continued, "Based on Draco's explanation, doing this will not only ruin your looks, but animals don't have high IQs after all. I think Slytherin will even lose his IQ in the end."

She doesn't want to trade her intelligence for anything.

Voldemort saw that Ariana didn't want to try this approach. If that was the case, then all his efforts today would be in vain.

So I decided to provide her with a safer method and lure her into trying it. After all, it can enhance magic power, so it won't be considered cheating her.

"I can see that you really want to narrow the gap in magical power with Dumbledore. Besides this method, I have another one. Do you want to hear it?" He said very provocatively.

Ariana runs an investment company, and Voldemort's tone sounds very much like that of an entrepreneur who wants to invest, and a sense of temptation comes to her face.

Before Ariana could complain about the other party's tricks being too bad, there was a knock on the office door.

Chapter 115: Ultimately, the only thing that can protect you is your intelligence

Ariana and Voldemort were chatting enthusiastically at the moment, and Draco subconsciously agreed to open the door himself.

It was Snape who knocked on the door.

Draco asked doubtfully, "Professor Snape, are you looking for Professor Quirrell?"

Snape saw that Draco was fine, and that the prickly brat was sitting opposite Quirrell, keeping a safe distance, and hadn't even taken out his wand. The gunfight he had imagined didn't exist, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've come to talk to you two stupid little trolls about the points you've been deducted from the headmaster," Snape said angrily.

Ariana thought she knew everything she needed to know, and seeing Quirrell almost fainting, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Although the other party had no intention of causing trouble, he was afraid that if something really happened, he would have to bleed, so he planned to retreat along the path Snape offered him.

"Professor Quirrell, I'll come back to you after I've thought carefully about the method you mentioned just now," Ariana said.

The other person has been kindly answering her questions for a long time, but his only intention is to cause her to be disfigured and become a psychopath. It would be better not to refuse directly, and everyone should be polite to each other.

Voldemort knew what the brat meant and sneered, "Of course. As a professor, I have an obligation to answer any questions about magic for my students. Otherwise, I'll be threatened with complaints."

Snape took the two little trolls to his office and began to settle accounts with Ariana.

As for Draco, he was completely ignored. No need to ask, you knew he just came over to watch the fun.

"You are really bold. Not only did you dare to go find him, but you also threatened him and brought Draco with you. I don't believe you haven't guessed anything." He almost said it last time. He is not deaf.

Ariana said speechlessly: "This is a school, is there any danger?"

She remembered that Professor McGonagall had said that Hogwarts was the safest place in the wizarding world. Could what the vice-headmaster said be wrong?

Snape sarcastically reminded the little troublemaker, "Do you think the school is safe? Use your impoverished brain to think about it. Does the other party have any bottom line?"

Although it is unknown how Quirrell contacted the mysterious man, the information was definitely shared in a timely manner, because many of Quirrell's actions did not seem to be his own idea.

In modern history, Voldemort was described as an unforgivable villain. Ariana felt that there was probably a lot of exaggeration in this story, but when it came to life safety, it was better to believe it than not.

"Okay, I've asked everything I wanted to know, so I won't go there anymore." She agreed easily.

The reason Snape was able to find him so quickly was because the ghost who was monitoring Ariana went to report to Dumbledore.

No matter what these two brats were going to do with Quirrell, Dumbledore didn't want anything to do with either side, especially Ariana, this monster with abnormal combat power.

Dumbledore had just had a brief confrontation with Ariana last night, and the sight of those hands casting spells really frightened him.

If he knew that Snape was going to duel with Ariana that night, he would definitely try his best to dissuade him. Is it just to save face by losing to a first-year student?

When Snape heard Ariana agree to this request and put aside Dumbledore's instructions, his selfish desires suddenly arose, and he looked at this little thorn as if nothing had happened.

"Did he tell you where the magic power is stored?" He learned a lot from following the mysterious man back then.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. What he told me is what he thinks. Although there is some evidence and it seems to make sense, there are still many parts that cannot stand up to scrutiny. I have to verify it myself."
