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

This is what I told him last time when I asked him to learn Occlumency, and he foolishly believed it, and the result was a blow to his IQ.

Ariana didn't find it difficult at all and kindly suggested, "Maybe we have different levels of knowledge accumulation. If you learn everything I've learned, you'll definitely be able to do it too. Why not give it a try?"

She really thought Draco should learn Occlumency.

Quirrell's method of fusing animal nerves was not really effective. She thought that Occlumency actually had some effect in developing the brain area.

Draco said distressedly: "But the problem is that I can't learn it, Ariana. Is it really impossible for me to become a strong person?"

Thinking of Adrian's expression just now, Ariana asked: "Are you hit by me?"

Normally, after playing together for so long, Draco should have gotten used to it by now. Could it be that I have been moving too fast these days and he is having trouble adapting?

Draco didn't show the same expression as Adrian. He just said sadly: "It has nothing to do with you. Although you told Professor Quirrell that you would find a way to solve my magic problem, even those who follow the Dark Lord can't do it. This is definitely not that simple, right?"

Although he was comforted at that time, Draco was a sensitive person after all, and he still took those words to heart.

"You said you would believe me," Ariana declared.

Draco looked her straight in the face and said frankly, "Of course I believe you, but rushing forward knowing it's impossible is the Gryffindor way. I'm a Slytherin."

Ariana asked, "So you've given up on being strong?"

"I don't know." Draco wanted to give up, but he was unwilling to do so.

It is foreseeable that Ariana will be a strong person. As good friends, they should go to that realm together. Even if he will be slower, others now tell him that there is no way forward for him.

Ariana felt that she couldn't let him be so discouraged. After thinking about it for a while, she immediately came up with an idea.

"Although a person's character is partly innate, the proportion of acquired influence is still greater. In the final analysis, it's all your father's fault. He scares you all the time, making you so timid, and then affecting your magical attributes." If the contradiction cannot be resolved, then it can only be transferred.

Draco was distracted. He complained speechlessly, "I'm already this old. Even if I scold my dad to death, it won't help."

He believed Ariana's analysis and thought that the reason why his magic attribute was so weak was entirely his father's fault.

Ariana patted his shoulder and suggested, "If you don't know what to do, then do what you should do well, and then plan for something better on this basis."

Ariana herself has not experienced this situation, but the psychological chicken soup is definitely correct. After all, those books have been tested by the printing factory.

"So what should I do?" Draco looked at his friend.

Ariana shook her head and said, "It's not me who should tell you, but you should figure it out yourself."

When his good friend didn't give him an answer, Draco thought about it himself. Then he became excited and told Ariana his plan with a smile.

"I see. I should practice Quidditch well. Can you put the production of my flying ball on the agenda? I need to improve my reaction speed as soon as possible." Quidditch was indeed his favorite.

Ariana didn't refuse, but just said: "Then you help me correct the test papers, and I will make the circular flying ball."

"But I don't know how to change it?" He didn't quite understand the purpose of the questions above.

"I'll give you a template, just give points according to it." Ariana took out a fountain pen. The answers were all in her mind and she could write them down quickly.

It was normal for friends to help each other, so Draco immediately agreed. "Okay, then I can show off my orbiting ball and automatic writing pen at dinner time."

"As long as you're happy." Ai Li was very happy to see him recover.

Draco, who previously couldn't understand the purpose of word problems, finally understood after grading over sixty papers. All he could say is that learning doesn't distinguish between answering papers or grading them.

During dinner, Draco got Ariana's ring-shaped flying ball and showed it off in the auditorium, along with the automatic writing pen. His previous depressed mood was completely swept away. After all, he was still a teenager and didn't know what worry felt like.

After the exciting event for the good friends ended, it was Ariana's turn.

After dinner, she took Draco to Snape's office to meet up for the duel in the Forbidden Forest.

Snape saw Draco, frowned and said sarcastically, "You two are not conjoined twins. You won't die if you are separated for a while."

The implication is that she doesn't want to take Draco with her.

It was agreed before that if Draco was allowed to go back, he would be so disappointed. Of course Ariana would not agree.

"Draco is my boyfriend and must be with me. Besides, he is your godson. Don't you miss him when you have this opportunity to meet him?" She also made some harsh remarks to Snape.

"You want to run before you can even walk? You'll only fall harder." Snape snorted sarcastically.

Ariana retorted forcefully, "Whether you fall or not, just run first."

The objection was ineffective, so Snape had no choice but to take Draco with him. The three of them deliberately avoided people when leaving the castle, and the journey was relatively smooth.

Arriving at the place where the Fiendfyre experiment had taken place last time, there was no need for pleasantries. After both parties stood still, Ariana said to Draco, "You call the start."

Chapter 118 The two started fighting

Although she was proficient in wandless spellcasting, the lovely Lianna mostly used the hand that held the lightning wood.

Although her other hand could also cast spells, in this kind of duel, she only used water spells, which was to draw water vapor in the air and turn it into ice cones to launch attacks.

This doesn't mean that she can't use other natural magic without a wand, but that the air contains a lot of water vapor.

As long as magic power is used to guide, an effective attack can be formed, while magic of other attributes still requires a large amount of magic power to fix the energy required by natural attributes.

Moreover, the magic wand has the function of precise magic division and amplification, which is an advantage that wandless casting can never catch up with.

There was already a gap in magic power between Ariana and Snape, so naturally they would use whatever magic to save magic power.

At this point, Draco had no way to stop the duel. He swallowed and stood a little further away from the two of them.

"Start." He spoke very loudly so that the two of them could hear clearly.

Although it is not a life-and-death battle, as Draco said, injuries may be inevitable.

Ariana always cherishes her life very much, so she first used the Iron Armor Spell on herself and integrated the curse's operating program.

The curse running program can automatically absorb the magic power in the air, and then replenish its own magic power for the insufficient part, so a lot of magic power can be saved.

Snape watched Ariana use the Shield Charm but did not take any action. After all, the girl in front of him was a first-year student, and he wanted to let her take the initiative, but he soon realized that he had underestimated her.

Because when Ariana used the Iron Armor Spell, she swung the ice cone silently, which was indeed a preemptive strike.

After blocking the icicles, Snape asked coldly, "Have you learned to cast spells silently?"

And he saw that Ariana did not cast the spell with the lightning-struck wooden wand, but with the other hand without the wand.

"I have prepared very well for this duel, so please be careful, Professor!" Ariana looked at the other party seriously, without any relaxed expression on her face.

After saying that, she stopped talking nonsense, used the flying spell to turn into black mist, and rushed straight forward.

Snape didn't dare to be careless anymore. Like Ariana, he also used the flying spell, and the two began to fight.

Draco, who was far away, only saw two balls of black mist entwining and separating in the air, with flames coming out when they touched. It was obvious that both of them were using lethal spells.

"Didn't you say not to use killing spells?" he commented speechlessly.

Those were the sparks produced by the spell hitting the Armor Charm. Ariana must have been attacking Snape with icicles, because broken ice kept falling from below.

Just as Draco was watching nervously, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him. His long white hair and beard confirmed his identity.

"Principal Dumbledore, why are you here? No, how do you know this place?" Draco was stunned with shock.

When they left the castle, they not only hid from people but also used invisibility spells. Yet, they were still discovered?

What Draco was most worried about happened. This duel was discovered by someone, and it was Dumbledore. Will Ariana be expelled?

Dumbledore could see that Draco was frightened, so he smiled at him reassuringly, telling him not to worry too much.

"Mr. Malfoy, a ghost saw Professor Snape leading you out of the castle. Although I trust Professor Snape very much, I was too curious about Ariana's situation, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful duel."

He tactfully explained the reason for his presence there.

This is not because Dumbledore treats Draco specially, but for Ariana.

These two are boyfriend and girlfriend, so information should be shared. He doesn't want Ariana to feel disgusted again.

Draco didn't care how Dumbledore came. He was afraid that Ariana would have to pay the price for the duel and the punishment would be expulsion.

"Mr. Principal, they are just sparring with each other and will not use any killing spells." He lied with his eyes open.

Ariana had said long ago that magic was ultimately biased towards combat. Although this wasn't a life-and-death duel, the two simply refrained from using black magic to prevent their injuries from becoming unhealable. They still used other spells as needed.

Dumbledore said with a chuckle, "When they clashed, there was a burst of fire. It must have been the killing spells that hit the Shield Charm on them."

Then start analyzing Ariana's situation.

"Ariana has limited magic power, so it's impossible for her to use spells like the Cutting Spell and the Axe Spell that consume a lot of magic power. She should be holding a deformed sharp weapon in her other hand. In addition, she can also shoot ice cones with her mind." After saying this, he frowned.

Snape only relies on a wand to attack, while Ariana not only has weapons in both hands, but can also use her mind to mobilize water vapor in the air to turn into ice for attack. In other words, she has three means of attack, all of which can be launched simultaneously and instantly, achieving three things at the same time.

After hearing Dumbledore's analysis, Draco was shocked by Ariana's methods, and at the same time worried that Dumbledore would become even angrier.

"They know their limits." He carefully brought his godfather with him.

After all, one of the duelists was a professor at the school. If this were to become known, Dumbledore, the headmaster, would have a hard time explaining himself. This was probably the case, and he could only hope for the best.

Looking at Draco, whose face turned even paler, Dumbledore said soothingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Malfoy. I punished Ariana several times mainly to calm public opinion. There's no one else here, right?"

The implication was that no one would be held responsible for the duel, which made Draco feel greatly relieved.

The two men were so engrossed in the battle that they had no idea Dumbledore was watching.

Ariana's mind worked very quickly. Not only was she doing three things at once, but when she had almost exhausted the combat techniques she wanted to try out, she calculated her magic power and began to make plans to subdue Snape.

Before, Ariana was confident that she could defeat Snape with her strength, but that was under the circumstance of risking her life. Now, if she just wants to control the opponent, she has to use all her cards.

Not only was Dumbledore outside the scene surprised by Ariana's growth, but Snape was also very shocked.

Ariana held a wand in one hand and a transformed steel sword in the other, but even so, Snape had to deal with the icicles attacking him at any time.

This means that this kid not only uses both hands, but also has other ways of casting spells. The only way he can think of to defeat her now is to disarm her wand.

Even without her wand, Ariana still had two ways to fight, and Snape then decided on his own plan.

After all, the magic wand is Ariana's strongest attack method. Without the magic wand, she will definitely admit defeat, especially since her magic power limit is far from her own.

During the confrontation, Snape couldn't help but say, "You've used too many spells, and your magic power will be consumed very quickly. This is not suitable for your duel style."

Ariana's attacks were very fierce, and because the magic was very powerful, Snape was very careful in every confrontation.

"Then Professor, you can try to see how much magic power I have left." There was no ripple in Ariana's eyes.

If it was a real fight, she wouldn't say a word. After all, villains always die because they talk too much, although she is not a villain.

Snape's spells are somewhat similar to his own style, both of which tend to be offensive.

After finalizing the plan, Snape's next main attack location was almost always Ariana's wand-holding hand.

Chapter 119 She still has a lot of energy left

But after 40 minutes of confrontation, Snape still couldn't break through Ariana's armor spell, which made him very confused.

It is said that the Iron Armor Spell requires a lot of magic power, but the fight has been going on for 40 minutes. Even if Ariana's Iron Armor Spell is not broken, her defense should be reduced due to insufficient magic power.

Not only was Snape confused, but Dumbledore, who was standing below, also didn't understand.

He couldn't stop the two of them at this time, and it was unrealistic to ask Ariana directly, so he asked Draco, who was closest to Ariana.

"Ariana's armor spell is a bit strange. Has it been improved? Not only is it very strong, but it also lasts for too long, especially since she also uses a lot of other offensive magic."

Dumbledore was very surprised. Ariana's magic power should have been almost exhausted, but it seemed that she still had a lot of energy left.

"Are you asking me, Mr. Headmaster?" Draco murmured.

He was just an ordinary first-year wizard, yet he was asked to duel by the most powerful white wizard in the magical world?

Dumbledore didn't answer, but went straight to the point and said, "I heard that Ariana has developed a spell for the eyes that can observe the movement of magic power. Perhaps using that spell, we can observe the abnormality of her Shield Charm."

What this means is that you should use it as soon as possible, and it would be best if I could learn it as well.

Draco's IQ is generally online as long as it doesn't involve Quidditch and Harry. He knew the old man's intention as soon as he heard it. He didn't have Ariana's great idea of ​​sharing magic research.

"Ariana said that all her research results will only be shared with Slytherins because they joined the Dueling Club. This is the condition of the deal."

Regardless of whether Ariana said this or not, as a good friend, she would definitely not contradict herself, especially in front of Dumbledore, she would definitely admit it.

Dumbledore ignored Draco's refusal and asked with amusement, "Mr. Malfoy, are you inviting me to join this club? If so, my duel opponent can only be Ariana, and your girlfriend might get hurt."

Even Snape is about to fail, so I am afraid that I am the only one in Hogwarts who can defeat Ariana.

He's only in the first grade, and his talent is truly terrifying. I'm afraid Merlin is no more capable than him.

Dumbledore thought Draco was easy to fool, but the answer was beyond his expectations.

"Do you want to duel with Ariana? Can she bear the cost of getting hurt? Even if she is my girlfriend, I will not make any decisions for her." He had already figured out his best friend's personality.

Don't think that Ariana is so nice to him, because he is also very nice to her. Friends have similar personalities. He doesn't like being controlled, and Ariana likes it even more.
