And Ariana didn't forget that everything that could be produced by the Room of Requirement was ownerless.
For example, she had tried to conjure up gold Galleons before, but none appeared. Could it be that there wasn't a single Galleon in the entire school? It was obvious that the money was owned by someone, and it wouldn't move.
There must be a Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts, and the owner of the Chamber of Secrets is no longer with us, so those books were all conjured from the Chamber of Secrets.
Snape hadn't told Ariana he would return the book, so Dumbledore didn't know. So he said, "But you probably don't plan to return this book."
Ariana smiled and said, "No, I will pay it back in two months. I have already told Professor Snape about this, but he may not have had time to report it to you yet."
Dumbledore pressed on, "So you, too, have been influenced by the Hogwarts environment and have started to become hostile, correct?"
After paying attention for a while, Dumbledore was already very clear about Ariana's affairs, including what she said to Hermione.
Even surveillance was used, so Ariana was not surprised that the other party would inquire about what she had said.
There was no place to complain, and the conflict had not reached the point of a life-and-death duel. She really annoyed Dumbledore, so it seemed that she had to study spells to deal with ghosts as soon as possible to avoid exposing her whereabouts all day long.
"No, I've learned from you that only the powerful have the right to decide everything. Even if I shout the slogan of equal sharing, others will just see me as a sucker. They won't enjoy my achievements and then implement my ideas. If I want to change the environment, I can't rely on my persistence alone."
Ariana was very impatient with Dumbledore and didn't want to talk to him at all.
But her magic power was not enough to break the formation, so she walked behind Draco and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I'm a little tired. Can I lean on your shoulder for a while?" She actually buried her face in Draco's back.
Dumbledore knew that he was disliked, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he asked again.
"How can you think that Slytherin can live up to your expectations?"
Gryffindor is obviously simpler, trust is trust. He really doesn't understand why Ariana would choose the scheming Slytherin.
Not to mention that the two sides are opposing camps. With Ariana's ability, if she wants to conquer the little lions of Gryffindor, it will definitely be easier than conquering Slytherin.
Draco felt sorry for Ariana. She had just had such an intense fight and hadn't even had time to catch her breath. Now she was being questioned by Dumbledore. She had already buried her face in her clothes, but he still didn't let her go.
Without waiting for Ariana to answer, he said, "That's because Ariana is already in a leadership position in Slytherin. We Slytherins are very sensible. Even though we insist on the pure-blood ideal, we know she doesn't like it, so we are restraining ourselves."
Could the reckless and impulsive Gryffindor do this?
The change in Adrien and the others' situation was not only noticed by Draco, but also by everyone else.
The purebloods must be feeling uncomfortable. After all, they used to be superior, but now everyone is on the same level.
But if he does the bullying behavior again, it will definitely cause Ariana to be disgusted.
Last time, everyone thought she was the mysterious man's child, and it was already embarrassing once, and no one wanted to happen again.
Farley has privately warned those pure-bloods who are ready to make a move not to fall into Ariana's hands, otherwise she will not be polite to them.
Slytherin has been leaderless for ten years. Although Ariana has not grown up yet, everyone sees the hope of her rise.
In fact, the entire Slytherin family thinks she is better than the You-Know-Who because she has a bottom line, is more rational, and is rich.
I won’t talk about the other things, but at least she won’t be like the mysterious man who will extort money from the pure-blood families after becoming powerful.
Chapter 122: Thank you for the gift
Looking at Draco with an agitated expression, Dumbledore's gaze fell on Ariana behind him.
"If only you had been in Gryffindor," he said with emotion.
It's no wonder Dumbledore said such an inappropriate thing. Ariana's performance tonight really shocked him and made him appreciate her talent even more. However, Gryffindor only had Harry who still loved to play.
Draco was furious. Both headmasters of Hogwarts were Gryffindors, and the savior was also a Gryffindor. There was only one Slytherin, Ariana. Was he still coveting her? Wasn't that too much?
Not only did Draco blush with anger, but Snape couldn't bear it anymore.
He said sarcastically, "The great Gryffindor Headmaster, poaching students in front of the Slytherin Headmaster, this joke is not funny."
Although Snape worked for Dumbledore, it was only to protect Harry's life. He was still a Slytherin and had to consider the future of his college.
Draco couldn't find any other reason, so he could only say indignantly: "Ariana is only suitable for Slytherin. This is what the Sorting Hat said. The Headmaster should not even think about transferring her to Gryffindor."
He also followed Ariana's example and assumed the Gryffindor headmaster with the greatest malice.
Looking at the two nervous Slytherins, who looked as if their treasure was about to be snatched away, he smiled heartily.
"No, there has never been a case of transfer in the history of Hogwarts. I just feel that way."
That's what Dumbledore said, but no one can say whether he would make an exception if Ariana wanted to.
After Ariana recovered the magic to break the formation, Snape regained his freedom and walked towards the castle with the two little ghosts.
Of course there was also Dumbledore who showed up uninvited and did nothing.
Unexpectedly, when they walked near Hagrid's Hut, they ran into Harry and Ron who were also returning to the castle.
Snape said sarcastically with a dark face: "Look at our great savior. It's almost 10 o'clock now, and he is still wandering outside the castle. Maybe I can deduct another 50 points from him."
He really wanted to open Harry's brain and see if it was full of water. Not only did he arrogantly contact the suspicious Quirrell, but he actually wandered around outside the castle in the middle of the night.
If this wasn't Lily's only child, he would have to kill him instantly.
Especially the face that looked so much like James Potter, Snape felt his eyes hurt just looking at it and hated him to death.
Looking at Snape with a fierce look in his eyes, Dumbledore eased the atmosphere and said, "Severus, don't be so strict. It's not even ten o'clock yet. It's normal for children to be unable to sleep."
He just lost to Ariana, so he must be very angry. Don't lose your mind and do something irreparable.
Snape was indeed very angry, not only because he lost to Ariana, but also because this old honey poached people in front of him. Now hearing what Dumbledore said, it added fuel to the fire.
"If you can't sleep, then just stay in the lounge and make trouble. He just plays all day long. And the principal agrees to deduct points for night outings, so Gryffindor will be deducted 50 points." He announced the punishment viciously.
Harry turned pale when he heard that he had been deducted 50 points again. The last time they were deducted points, he and Ron were often talked about and excluded by others.
This would definitely be worse, especially since Hermione, who was constantly cheating on her, would be so angry if she knew about it.
Harry has developed a sensitive personality. Even though he is praised as a savior, he knows very well that he is still an orphan. He is not as confident as Ron.
"Colin and the others are outside too." Ron couldn't help but mutter.
Snape cursed upon hearing this, "They went with me to the Forbidden Forest for something. Which professor is accompanying you around?"
Harry often gets into trouble, and Ron Weasley is 99% responsible.
Draco also tried to show his friendship at the beginning. How come this damn Potter doesn't know what kind of person can be a friend?
Otherwise, with Draco leading the way, Harry could also become friends with Ariana. With a genius friend to compete with, at least he would have a little more motivation, right? Isn't Draco a typical example?
Harry didn't want Ron to face Snape's anger alone, so he stood up and said, "Hagrid has been with us all the time."
Snape sneered and retorted, "He's not a professor at the school, and he doesn't have a wand. If anything happens, he can't protect you. And you talked back to the professor, so Gryffindor will deduct another point."
Seeing Snape getting angrier, Dumbledore could only interrupt him and say, "Harry, could you tell me what brings you to Hagrid so late at night?"
Quirrell was very active and had even gone to the Forbidden Forest a few days ago. It was indeed dangerous for Harry to be here.
Harry had no choice but to confess the reason to Dumbledore, who had always been very kind to him and was now in this situation.
"We suspect someone is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone on the fourth floor, so we're here to remind Hagrid not to tell anyone about Fluffy's weakness."
After knowing that the three-headed dog was raised by Hagrid, Harry and Ron tried to test him a lot. Hagrid was a man who could not keep secrets, so he did not mention Nicolas Flamel, but directly mentioned the Philosopher's Stone.
Through Hermione's investigation, they learned that Nicolas Flamel was a good friend of Dumbledore, and believed that it was Nicolas Flamel who helped Dumbledore keep the Philosopher's Stone.
Ariana, who had been silent just now, saw Ron staring at her and couldn't help but look at them sarcastically.
"It seems that the target of your suspicion is us Slytherins. Perhaps to be more specific, you think I will steal the Philosopher's Stone?" Ariana said.
Harry was too soft-hearted. Hermione was adamant that Ariana would never steal anything and listed many reasons, but Ron just didn't believe her. After she kept saying it, he began to believe Ron.
Seeing that the three Slytherins were angry, Dumbledore looked at Ron seriously.
"Mr. Weasley, you must be responsible for making groundless accusations against your classmates. Perhaps I can write another letter to your father."
Dumbledore had already written twice, and no one had ever received the same treatment as Ron before.
"I didn't say it was Colin." Ron was frightened and subconsciously argued.
Dumbledore was afraid that Ariana would attack again, so he could only quickly say, "It's getting late, and the children may still have homework to do. Severus, let's take them back to the castle."
The group returned to the castle in silence.
After entering the common room, Draco commented, "Dumbledore deducted 50 points from us before. Professor Snape must be holding a grudge. Weasley is really hateful. Even after he apologized, he still hasn't changed his ways and always says things that make people angry."
He couldn't remember how many times Ron had apologized. Maybe he should write a letter to his father and criticize the Weasley family's tutor in the newspaper?
Ariana didn't care about the previous accusations, and her mind was on the Philosopher's Stone that Harry mentioned.
"So the Philosopher's Stone is in Hogwarts. It seems the You-Know-Who's target is not only the Savior, but also the Philosopher's Stone on the fourth floor. Professor Quirrell has been spying on me several times. Could it be that he wants me to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone?"
It seems that in Hogwarts, not only Dumbledore can threaten her life, but also the mysterious man. Ariana's alertness immediately reached its maximum.
Chapter 123: The Kind of Killing Curse
Draco didn't know what Ariana was worried about. After all, they had already agreed not to get involved in the mysterious man's affairs.
"Anyway, we won't be in contact with Professor Quirrell anymore, so there shouldn't be any danger, right?" He looked at his good friend doubtfully.
Many things are not subject to personal will. They make decisions, but others may not agree.
Ariana shook her head and said, "According to recent history, the You-Know-Who isn't as self-disciplined as Dumbledore. No one knows what he might do. We'd better be careful."
She had previously battled wits and courage with Dumbledore, and the skills she improved were all for dealing with Dumbledore.
But now I have to change my opponent, which means I have to learn the corresponding skills again, and I have to deal with an enemy in the dark, who has no bottom line and may be fired a killing curse from anywhere.
It seems that she cannot adhere to the moral standards of the Muggle world. She still needs to study the three unforgivable curses. She can't let others know them while she has no idea about them.
Draco didn't know that Ariana had thought so deeply about it. He was still upset about Harry's night out.
"You described Potter as a fool who didn't care about anything, and you weren't wrong about him. Even if he wasn't able to analyze Professor Quirrell's connection with You-Know-Who like us, it's still suspicious that Professor Quirrell's stuttering could be cured so quickly. I've never seen a Ravenclaw who loves studying so much, and he didn't even approach him."
In fact, Draco was dissatisfied with Harry in many ways. In addition to jealousy, he also felt a little unwilling. He felt that the other party chose Ron instead of him, as if he had lost.
This young master is very concerned about his reputation, and he will probably remember this incident for the rest of his life.
Ariana didn't want to care about the children's grudges, but talked about Draco's magical properties.
"Regarding your magic problem, I have some ideas, but you know I have a lot on my plate. I hope you can try it yourself first."
The mysterious man might be making a comeback soon. Not only does she need to improve her strength, but Draco also needs to solve the problem as soon as possible.
"What idea?" Draco looked at her excitedly.
He had always wanted to be strong, so he was naturally excited when he heard there was a solution.
Ariana explained to him, "Weak magic is just not suitable for combat. If you learn healing magic, you will definitely be much more powerful than me."
It's not that Ariana's powerful magic power can't cast healing magic, but she needs to control the amount of her magic power.
Even if she only uses the smallest amount, her magic is still very strong due to its properties.
He is definitely not as good as Draco in healing magic. His magic power is weak in nature and is more suitable for healing spells.
Draco, who wanted to become stronger, found this method a little unacceptable.
As Malfoy, the heir of a family that takes pride in the dark arts, he ended up becoming a healer. Where would he put his face if this got out?
"You mean I can only learn healing magic from now on?" His face looked extremely ugly.
Ariana knew what he was thinking and patiently explained the method to him.
"The positive effect of healing magic is healing, but could the negative effect be lethal? This is just one of my thoughts. As for whether it is true or not, we need to conduct magical experiments to verify it."
Draco also knew that Ariana often did various black magic experiments. He didn't understand why she was so obsessed with it before, but after the duel tonight, he understood.
At this moment, he had no idea that although Ariana had never fought with anyone in actual combat, she had already demonstrated it thousands of times in her mind, adjusting the optimal solution time and time again, so that she could have a perfect plan for tonight's duel.
"Okay, shall we go to the Room of Requirement?" Draco asked.
He is now influenced by Ariana's impetuous personality. Knowing there is a way to become stronger, he immediately wants to try it.
Ariana shook her head and said, "Of course I have to go. Magic experiments require a lot of materials, and the Room of Requirement is quite convenient. But before I go to do the experiment, I have to research a spell against ghosts first."
Now everything we do is under the surveillance of others, so how can we hide our cards?
In addition, there is another reason, that is, she is a little tired, and the magic power consumed tonight has not yet recovered, and magic experiments also require magic power.
Draco also saw that Ariana was tired, so he took her to the corner of the lounge and let her lean against him. He planned to talk for a while before letting her go to bed. After all, it was not yet 11 o'clock and she would definitely not be able to sleep.
Draco was a little curious about spells against ghosts, so he asked, "Magic works on the body, and ghosts don't even have bodies. What magic can be used against them?"
Ariana couldn't sit still, so she took out a transformed book about the soul from her schoolbag and answered Draco's questions while reading it.
