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

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Snape still wanted to know, so he pressed on, "What was his answer?"

Looking at Snape who was glaring at her fiercely, Ariana suddenly realized.

"So, professor, you are curious about this too. It is indeed a very good quality to ask questions without hesitation. But why don't you ask him yourself? It is more respectable to ask a colleague than a student, right?" she teased him.

Looking at Snape who was staring at her but stubbornly refused to speak, and thinking of the several times he had taught her without reservation, Ariana stopped teasing him.

"Well, he said that magic power is stored in the spirit, and the spirit is related to the brain, so if you want to increase magic power storage, you must develop the brain." Ariana answered frankly.

Snape frowned and asked again, "Did he give any advice?"

This was definitely not something Quirrell could know, it must have been told to him by the mysterious person.

Looking at Snape's relaxed expression, Ariana joked, "It seems that you, Professor, are still obsessed with your former boss."

"Shut your mouth." Snape growled defensively.

Ariana didn't care about his attitude and asked nonchalantly, "Do you still want to know?"

Snape took a deep breath and offered his own terms.

"Don't you want to verify it yourself? I can provide you with the venue and the necessary items for magical experiments." Snape said calmly.

He already knew that any wish would be granted. This little kid didn't have a place to conduct magic experiments, but he did.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Although the Room of Requirement can still be visited, it is not as secretive as before. Ariana immediately accepted Snape's deal.

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, when I asked him if it was a fusion of the brain nerves of magical creatures, he didn't deny it, but just said that the disadvantage was only disfigurement. His evidence was that Slytherin used this method to enhance his magic power." Ariana replied.

"From your tone, I can tell you don't believe it?" Snape frowned at her.

Ariana nodded and offered her own opinion.

"Any magical research isn't a simple 1+1=2. In my opinion, it's a complex and variable compound equation. If one variable is wrong, the answer will vary greatly."

She paused, then went on to talk about Quirrell's conclusion: "He used the example of Slytherin to support his argument, but the environment in Slytherin was over 900 years ago, which is definitely different from today. If we use his method to conduct the experiment, what difference would it make to try to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat?"

Snape raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It seems that learning so many dark arts has not made you lose your brain."

Although the other party was complaining, lovely Lianna related it to what Dumbledore said last night.

It seems that these powerful wizards have a consensus, that is, people with strong inner strength will not be affected by learning black magic.

Ariana shook her head and said, "I have no parents, yet I have so much money. There are countless people who are eyeing me. I have only relied on my intelligence to get to where I am today. Magic is powerful, but I know that in the end, only my intelligence can protect me. I won't use my brain easily."

"You are at least self-aware."

On this point, Snape admired Ariana for knowing clearly what was most important.

This was a problem he had not dealt with properly back then, otherwise he would not have parted ways with Lily.

Before Snape could say a few words of praise, Ariana continued, "It's not self-awareness, is it? I think Professor Quirrell seems a little bit unintelligent, but his knowledge is very solid. It can only be that he was smart before, but not so smart now. Maybe it's because of this method?"

It is humans who learn magic, not humans who give up being human in order to learn magic. Their appearance is ruined, their IQ is lowered, and they become mentally ill. Can they still be considered normal people?

Snape swallowed the compliment and changed the subject unhappily, "Let's talk about the points you were deducted."

No one in Slytherin has ever had so many points deducted. That damn old Honey must have done it on purpose.

Chapter 116 The most powerful wizard in the magic world comes to you for help

Ariana did not admit her mistake, but asked: "Professor, do you think it would be helpful to complain to the Ministry of Magic that Dumbledore is spying on me?"

She was not stupid. Not only last night, but Snape went to Professor Quirrell's office so quickly. It must be that the ghosts in the school were watching her again. She hoped that they would not even monitor her while she was taking a shower.

Thinking of this possibility, Ariana felt that she had to study spells to deal with ghosts. Snape's reminder was indeed correct. Hogwarts was really unsafe.

"It's no use complaining to anyone in this world about him." Snape said lightly.

"There is no privacy at all. It's so infuriating. I won't stay outside after curfew anymore to avoid giving him a handle." Ariana was very angry.

Snape didn't call the two of them here to deduct points.

This afternoon, Dumbledore went to the Room of Requirement and found that the bookshelf where the books on the dark arts were placed was empty. He immediately realized that Ariana must have come and taken the books away in the middle of the night.

If Ariana knew about this, she would definitely complain that the British people's efficiency is very touching.

In addition to arranging for Snape to go to Quirrell to rescue him, Dumbledore also asked him to find a way to get the book back from Ariana.

"The great headmaster went to the Room of Requirement and said that most of the books in there were missing. He asked you to return them. They are school property." Snape's tone was a little annoyed.

He had been here for so many years and didn't know about this place. This kid had only been in school for more than a month and had already dug out such a hidden room. She really had some luck.

Ariana didn't resist at all and agreed directly: "Okay, wait two months, I'll return it after I finish reading it."

She has the maze mnemonics and the brain occlumency technique. You only need to read them once, there is no need to collect them.

Snape said seriously, "Now, immediately, right away."

It's unlikely that Ariana would agree. She had already moved the books she brought with her to another place this morning, and she wouldn't be able to find them even if she searched the dormitory.

"Those books are indeed the property of Hogwarts, but I was the one who found them. Can't I take a look at them? If you really want me to return them immediately, then go ahead and look for them. Once you find them, you can take them away." She said indifferently.

He stared at Ariana for a long time and saw that she showed no signs of giving in. This little thorn was not moved by any tricks or threats. It seemed that his mission had failed.

"Get out." This was the second time Snape's defense broke down.

Ariana took Draco and left the office obediently.

When they got outside, Draco said with lingering fear, "I thought you and Professor Snape were going to have another conflict."

In the past two days, Ariana has clearly seen the attitudes of these professors.

"Professor McGonagall may be the last person who sticks to her principles. She can't do anything to me. Do you think other professors are willing to conflict with me? I guess they will just throw my problems to Dumbledore to deal with again."

If we look at it from this perspective, Professor McGonagall is actually quite qualified as a teacher. She is serious and responsible, and will do it even if the situation is difficult to handle.

When Draco heard that Ariana would no longer conflict with the professor, a relieved smile appeared on his face. Thinking of his previous imagination, he suddenly became excited.

"That's fine too. If you don't go to the headmaster's office, Dumbledore will have to come to the Slytherin common room to deal with your problem. Then you can just sit on the sofa and look at him with contempt."

"Why?" Ariana looked at him puzzled.

Draco continued excitedly, "Don't you think this is cool? The most powerful wizard in the wizarding world comes to you for help, and you just sit there and look at him with contempt. Isn't this scene particularly cool?"

Just imagining that scene is exciting.

Ariana looked at her childish friend and commented speechlessly, "It's a shame you don't become a TV writer."

Of course, Draco knew it was just a joke, and after the joke ended, he thought back to what had happened and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

"I just realized that Professor Snape didn't punish us." He now found that his godfather was not that scary.

Both Senior Farley and Snape said on the first day of school that points would not be deducted. I didn't expect that they would actually be deducted. It's no big deal.

As for what Ariana said, Farley didn't care because he was far ahead in points, but Slytherin had Ariana, so how could the points be behind?

Thinking of the conversation that had just been interrupted, Ariana shook her head and said, "Do you think he came to Professor Quirrell's office to ask about the point deduction?"

"Isn't it?" Didn't they just talk about the point deduction?

Ariana reminded: "Think about how Dumbledore blocked us at the door of the Room of Requirement?"

Draco immediately remembered that Ariana had accused Dumbledore of monitoring her, and Dumbledore had admitted to letting the ghost keep an eye on her.

"It was Headmaster Dumbledore who asked Professor Snape to come to us. He doesn't want you to contact Professor Quirrell." Draco reacted quite quickly.

Ariana corrected him, "To be more precise, they don't want me to come into contact with You-Know-Who. Although Porter's talent points are in combat, he's only in his first year. Let alone the You-Know-Who opponent, even if I gave him one hand and closed my eyes, he wouldn't be able to defeat him."

To put it bluntly, they don't want her to join the mysterious man's camp with such a strong fighting force when their own fighting force is still so weak.

In the future battles between the two sides, the mysterious man will definitely face Dumbledore. If Ariana joins the Death Eaters, then Harry's opponent will undoubtedly be her.

Not to mention that with only Quirrell's guidance, even if Harry was given a rocket, his fighting power would not be able to catch up with Ariana.

When it comes to the issue of combat power, Draco thinks of Ariana's amazing two-handed spellcasting yesterday.

"I didn't know you could use silent magic, and you could cast it with both hands."

Normally, I only see her doing various magic experiments, but she has never actually practiced on people, right?

Ariana replied calmly, "Actually, I did know how to do it before, but back then it was just a feeling. I didn't know the spells, and there weren't the clear rules of magic like there are now. I remember telling you."

"When did you tell me that?" Draco was certain he had never heard of it.

Ariana reminded him matter-of-factly, "Didn't I tell you that I could make my own milk powder when my magic awakened when I was three months old?"

At the time, I thought it was my wish come true, but it was actually a kind of magic.

It was possible before, but with the help of spells, it is even more powerful. I didn’t use it before because I was not proficient in spells.

Snape had warned her that Dumbledore might resort to any means if forced into a corner. If she didn't quickly learn to use that feeling, where would she go to cry if he was killed?

"What does that have to do with silent spellcasting?" Draco really didn't understand how soaking milk powder could aid in magical practice.

Ariana patiently explained, "I didn't have a wand at the time, and the bottle just came directly to my lips. Isn't that wandless magic?"

Draco was speechless and could only stare at her and ask, "Is there anything else you haven't told me yet? Tell me everything now."

Chapter 117: Thank you for the gift

I thought I knew my best friend very well, but now it seems there is still a lot I don’t know.

Ariana didn't hide anything and said directly: "I can also hypnotize."

"What is hypnosis?" Draco had never heard of this term.

In order to help Draco understand better, Ariana also thought of some related spells.

"It's a bit like the Imperius Curse, but it doesn't control someone to do something. It just implants a concept in them, making them feel that they have to do it. However, people with strong willpower can wake up quickly, so it's not as strong as the Imperius Curse."

When she first discovered this ability, Ariana fantasized that she could become a hypnotist in the future.

Later, I felt that it was better to let others work for me than to work for others, so I gave up this career direction.

Draco murmured, "You're exaggerating enough."

The Imperius Curse is terrifying just by mentioning it. It turns out that lovely Lianna is born with a similar ability. Although the strength is not as high, it can also control others.

Not only was Draco surprised by Ariana's ability, but before the exam began, the Slytherin half-bloods saw her wave her wand and the test papers landed precisely on everyone's desk.

If you look closely, the positions are very consistent, which shows that she has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Adrian, who was sitting in the front row, asked in surprise: "Colin, you can already do silent magic?"

He was already in fifth grade, but let alone a silent spell like this one for groups, he couldn't even cast the simplest fluorescent spell silently.

Ariana replied calmly, "I should say I learned it when I was very young. However, back then, there were no spells to help control it. I relied purely on my thoughts, so the accuracy wasn't as high as it is now."

"You are really amazing." This was the only sentence Adrian could find after a long while.

Of course Ariana could see that the other person was hit hard. She was still expecting this person to work like a slave for her, so of course she had to say a few words of encouragement.

"Don't always focus on others. Improving yourself is the most important thing. What belongs to others is always theirs. Let's start the exam."

This test paper only contains multiple-choice questions and application questions. In addition to asking about common knowledge of magic, the multiple-choice questions are more about screening personality.

As for the application questions, they test their environmental accumulation and reaction speed, so that the people selected are more in line with the work intensity of corporate slaves.

From this point of view, Ariana is already a qualified capitalist, subconsciously thinking about how to exploit her employees.

After the test was over and everyone else left, Draco saw Ariana put the test paper into the printer's copy paper area.

Then the test papers enter the printer one by one and come out automatically with red scores on them.

Draco asked in surprise: "Aren't you a printer? How can you correct the test paper?"

He had never seen such an alchemical item before. It was too intelligent. In this case, wouldn't the professors' only job be to teach?

Ariana picked up a test paper and handed it to him, motioning him to look at the situation on it.

She explained, "It's just the multiple-choice questions. You still have to correct the word problems yourself, but it saves a lot of time."

Draco looked at the accurately graded test paper and said in shock, "I feel that your talent in alchemy is not much less than your magic practice."

How did this person come up with such an idea, actually letting alchemical items correct the test papers themselves.

Ariana explained, "There are machines based on this principle in the Muggle world. I just set it up using a magical program. It's very simple."

It’s just that this kind of scoring machine didn’t exist at that time, but there was no need to explain this to Draco.

Even so, Draco couldn't help but complain: "You always say it's easy, but no one can do it except you."
