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

Young wizards of Muggle origin generally have difficulty adapting to Hogwarts, but attracted by magic, no one has ever asked to drop out.

Ariana had made up her mind and said firmly, "Yes, Hogwarts has disappointed me greatly. What's more, the Obscurial that the professor told me about back then doesn't fit my situation. Since my life is safe, I don't think it matters whether I learn this magic or not."

As a professor who loves this school, Professor McGonagall asked grimly when she heard Hogwarts being slandered by students: "How has Hogwarts disappointed you?"

Ariana replied matter-of-factly, "It's almost the 21st century, and this castle's infrastructure is still stuck in the Middle Ages."

"London secondary schools all have apartment-style accommodation, with individual bedrooms and sometimes even private bathrooms, but here we have four people in a room, and the bathroom is in the corridor, so everyone shares it."

Living in the basement was bad enough, but she really couldn't stand the fact that there was no separate room or bathroom.

"You don't come to school to enjoy yourself," Professor McGonagall said with a fierce face. "Although this doesn't meet your requirements, the scenery of Hogwarts is definitely much better than the school in London, right?"

Having made up her mind, Ariana was not easily shaken. She said nonchalantly, "Maybe."

He added: "Primary school students don't need to live on campus, so I don't know what the secondary school scene in London is like, but the accommodation here is definitely not as good as my home."

Professor McGonagall went to Ariana's house in person, so of course she knew how luxurious the villa was, but could it be the same at home as at school?

"The school's accommodation has to take everyone's needs into consideration. It's impossible to accommodate just you." Professor McGonagall tried to persuade her to accept reality.

Ariana pointed at Draco at the door and said, "Then ask Draco if he wants a private bathroom in the bedroom?"

Draco, who was so concerned about his reputation, could only lower his head and mutter, "It is indeed much more convenient to have a separate bathroom in the bedroom."

"Apart from this, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Professor McGonagall looked at the troublemaker seriously.

Ariana had already seen that Professor McGonagall was unwilling to agree to her dropping out of school, so she pressed the issue further, saying, "And the teaching methods of the professors at the school."

"In London, every teacher has to complete a course in educational psychology before they can take up their post. Not only are they smiling, but their attitude is also friendly. But Hogwarts professors are still using a teaching method that intimidates students. I simply cannot accept it."

"Which professor threatened you?" Professor McGonagall didn't believe it.

Ariana briefly recounted her disagreement with Professor Snape, then complained, "I just said I wanted to practice the Imperius Curse. I haven't actually started yet, but he threatened to keep an eye on me. Does that mean a person should be thrown into prison just because they haven't committed a crime, but just have the possibility of committing one?"

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, but couldn't find any reason to refute Ariana for a long time. She could only cover her face and let her go back first.

"I will discuss the accommodation issue with Headmaster Dumbledore. If it can be improved, we will do our best to do so."

As for the teaching method, Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment before saying, "As for Professor Snape's question, I need to ask him first to confirm whether what you said is true before discussing it with you."

Since the other party had said this, Ariana could only agree: "Okay, I hope this conversation won't take too long."

Chapter 10 Then I'll Drop Out of School Too

Walking out of Professor McGonagall's office, Draco looked at Ariana excitedly, with an unexpected hint of admiration in his eyes.

"You are truly amazing. You actually managed to silence Professor McGonagall. However, I still want to say a few words to you. Your behavior just now was too impulsive. What if Professor McGonagall really agrees to let you drop out?"

Although Draco admired Ariana's courage, he was still a little worried.

Before, Ariana might have been a little hesitant, but after the confrontation with Professor McGonagall, she had already made up her mind to drop out of school.

"Isn't my attitude clear enough? I am inclined to drop out of school." She said in a firm and calm tone.

After spending another class together, Draco had a deeper understanding of Ariana, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard that she was so determined to drop out of school.

"The Transfiguration was successful on the first try. That shows how great your magical talent is. Wouldn't it be a shame not to learn magic?" Draco frowned, trying to convince her.

Eleven years had passed, and without the threat of the Obscurials, Ariana didn't care about magic at all. However, she didn't answer Draco, but instead asked, "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of learning magic?"

Draco thought carefully for a long time before answering cautiously: "To become a strong man?"

Ariana didn't deny his answer, but just raised another question: "Then how many students who graduated from Hogwarts in history became well-known strong people?"

Although Draco was only 11 years old, Malfoy's family education was obviously very successful. He quickly replied: "Apart from the Big Four, it seems that there are only Dumbledore and You-Know-Who."

"The Four Giants didn't graduate from Hogwarts, they founded Hogwarts. So the only ones who became well-known strong men after graduating from Hogwarts were Dumbledore and the You-Know-Who." Ariana said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"What does this have to do with you not wanting to go to school?" Draco looked at her puzzled.

Ariana patiently guided him to think and asked, "Whether it's Dumbledore or the You-Know-Who, they didn't become famous during their school years, right?"

Draco thought for a moment and answered with certainty, "It seems not. Although I don't know when they became famous, Dumbledore became famous after the final battle with Grindelwald. He was already very old at that time."

Draco knew even more about the mysterious man. He said with more certainty, "As for the mysterious man, I heard from my dad that he disappeared for a while after graduation, and he was only so powerful when he reappeared."

Ariana waved her hand, looking obvious, and smiled, "So, if you want to be strong, you don't have to study at Hogwarts, right?"

Draco was misled by her and asked hesitantly, "So I have to drop out of school too?"

Although the Malfoy family is powerful, they lack strong fighting power. This is why Draco would immediately give the answer to become a strong man. If studying at Hogwarts cannot achieve his goal, he has to consider whether to transfer to another school.

"I asked to drop out of school because my parents died early. I can make my own decision. Your parents are still alive and well. Will they agree to you dropping out of school?" Ariana looked at him puzzled.

"Well, my dad will definitely not agree to me dropping out of school, even if he knows that studying at Hogwarts doesn't necessarily make you strong." Draco was a little discouraged.

And he found that his self-confidence was always shattered in front of Ariana.

Draco sighed and continued, "I used to be quite proud of my parents' meticulous care for me, but after meeting you, I found that the days without anyone to control me are quite enviable."

"If you knew what I'm usually busy with, you wouldn't think so." Ariana said lightly.

"So what are you usually busy with?" Draco asked her curiously.

"Not to mention school homework, company affairs take up at least four hours every day, not to mention meeting with some business partners to discuss cooperation. During this time, I also have to learn art, etiquette, and fencing." Ariana talked about it like she knew everything.

In a capitalist country, if you want to have a successful career, you must not only be able to make money, but also invest in personal cultivation. Ariana doesn't mind spending money, but these courses do take up a lot of her time.

"There are only 24 hours in a day, and work takes up 4 hours. How can you manage so many things?" No matter how Draco calculated, he felt that her time was not enough.

"Art, etiquette, and fencing, these three courses are taught twice a week, each lasting two hours. They are not scheduled every day. As for school, I often take leave, not to mention that I often have to take leave. As for homework, I basically finish it during breaks and don't bring it home." Ariana explained.

"That can't be completed, right?" Draco was still a little unconvinced.

"I sleep 8 hours a day, minus the 3 hours for eating and washing, which leaves me with about 13 hours. I work 4 hours and attend classes no more than 4 hours, so I still have 5 hours to do other things." Ariana counted on her fingers for him.

"So it doesn't seem particularly busy then," Draco said thoughtfully.

"At first I wasn't used to such a fast-paced schedule and it was quite busy, but it got much better after I got used to it," Ariana said as a matter of course.

"By the way, do you like fencing?" Ariana suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have a fencing teacher after she arrived at Hogwarts, which meant that there was no one to practice with her.

"Wizarding families don't play fencing," Draco replied with disgust.

"Okay, that's one more reason for me to drop out," Ariana said helplessly. "I can't use my computer, and I can't even find anyone to practice fencing with. It's a double blow to my body and mind. I have to drop out of this school."

Ariana wanted to drop out of school because Hogwarts was inconvenient, not because she hated magic.

She didn't know when Professor McGonagall would talk to her about this, so she decided that before that, she should go to the library and read as many books as possible. It would be a waste not to read the free books.

"I'm going to the library and try to read more before I leave Hogwarts."

Draco didn't want to go back to Slytherin alone, so when he heard Ariana was going to the library, he followed her.

Ariana suddenly remembered that Gringotts said it only exchanged gold Galleons for freshmen. She asked Draco anxiously, "If I drop out, will Gringotts not exchange gold Galleons for me?"

Draco had always believed that Ariana was a pure-blood wizard. When he heard her going to exchange gold Galleons, he became suspicious: "Didn't your parents leave you a vault at Gringotts?"

Seeing Draco's expression change so obviously, Ariana knew that she was in danger of being exposed, but she was not panicked at all.

"I have memories since I was three months old. At that time, the only people I interacted with were either nannies or lawyers. I never met my parents. How would I know if there was a vault in Gringotts? There are some strange things in my house, but I'm not sure if they are related to Gringotts." Ariana's tone was very calm.

Upon hearing this, Draco immediately put aside his doubts and explained to Ariana the function of the Gringotts vault key.

"The key to Gringotts is the only credential that can open the vault. If your parents left you such a key, they must be wizards." Draco said seriously.

Ariana thought carefully about the key shape Draco described, pulled out a piece of parchment, took out her wand, and began to cast a spell according to Draco's description. The parchment soon turned into a key.

"Is that so?" Ariana asked Draco while holding the key.

She had just learned transfiguration an hour ago, and it was only the simplest transformation of matches into silver needles. No one else in the class could do it except her. It was lovely that Liana could transform other objects so quickly.

"Are you sure you haven't practiced Transfiguration before?" Draco, like Lucas, questioned whether Ariana had practiced it secretly before.

Ariana said matter-of-factly, "Isn't the principle the same? Forget about the Transfiguration and just check if this is the key."

"Yeah, but my key is a little smaller than this." Draco nodded after observing it carefully.

Ariana kept changing the size of the key according to Draco's request, and it eventually turned into a Gringotts golden key.

"There seems to be such a key in a box my parents left me, but I don't know what it is, and I didn't think to ask Professor McGonagall at the time."

Of course, Ariana didn't have such a key, but in the base camp of the ambitious people, it was better for her not to become an outlier. She wouldn't be staying in this school for many days anyway, so she was not too worried about being exposed.

"Then you really are a pure-blood wizard, otherwise how would your family have so much money, right?" Draco was still upset that Ariana could easily buy a villa worth more than 1000 million.

Hearing Draco mention his real estate, Ariana remembered that he wanted a villa outside London, so she asked casually: "Aren't you going to ask your father if he wants to buy a villa in London? Have you written the letter?"

Chapter 11: The Imperius Curse

Of course Draco didn't write it, and he didn't know how to write it, especially when it came to Ariana, he boasted a lot.

Moreover, now that Ariana's bloodline has been confirmed, she will inevitably be invited to visit Malfoy Manor. When she meets his parents, all his previous boasting will probably be exposed. He is still worried about how to solve this problem.

It was absolutely impossible for Draco to admit that he had boasted. He could only grit his teeth and insist, "I was too tired from packing yesterday, so I wrote it today."

Ariana had no idea of ​​his inner struggle and enthusiastically told him, "You can tell your father that I own six villas, the most luxurious of which is worth 1325 million pounds. If he finds exchanging pounds too troublesome, he can pay with gold galleons. I'll give your family a 5% discount on all of them."

"I'll tell him." Draco nodded in torment.

The two stopped talking after entering the library. After asking Madam Pince where the bookshelves were suitable for first-year students, Ariana borrowed more than a dozen books at once, then found an empty seat and sat down, intending to finish reading before lunch.

"It's half past ten now, and lunch starts at 12 o'clock. How did you manage to finish reading so many books?" Draco looked at Ariana in confusion.

"I'm about to drop out of school, so I'll see as much as I can." Ariana replied softly, "Madame Pince is here. We'll talk after we get out."

Although Draco promised not to talk to Ariana, he found it very difficult to endure the following time because Ariana read too fast.

She could basically flip through a page of a book in less than a minute. It was filled with dense explanations of various spells. Could she understand it so quickly?

Lovely Ariana had dealt him so many blows, and he was very afraid that Ariana would understand so quickly.

Ariana now pursues speed when reading. She doesn't seek to understand everything, but only wants to remember the content. She plans to spend an hour organizing her memory with the help of brain occlumency before going to bed at night.

When she took the books, she calculated the time according to the number of pages of each book, so she finished reading all 13 books in 5 minutes before 12 o'clock.

"Come on, let's go eat."

After leaving the library, Draco was finally able to speak again, and he couldn't help but ask, "Those books you read are all magical theories, full of obscure spell explanations. You only read each page for less than a minute. Can you understand them?"

"I can't understand it now, but I've written it down. I'll organize my memory before going to bed at night, and then I'll understand it." Ariana answered him calmly.

Draco was confused and asked, "What do you mean by organizing your memories?"

Just like Ariana thought learning the Imperius Curse was no big deal, she didn't think Occlumency was anything to hide, so she answered Draco naturally.

"I'll lend you the book 'Brain Occlumency' that I bought earlier tonight. This magic can teach you how to organize and modify your memories, and it will also be very helpful in improving your memory. You can try it." Ariana suggested.

"So you use magic to memorize the contents of those books." Draco suddenly realized.

Ariana shook her head and denied it. "Before I learned this magic, I learned a maze memory method that is quite similar to this magic."

"I learned this magic mainly to defend against intrusion and modify memories. However, no one has used the Imperius Curse on me yet, so its effectiveness in preventing intrusion is still unknown."

Before Draco could be shocked that Ariana knew Occlumency, she cast the Imperius Curse again. He immediately looked around nervously and was relieved to see that no one noticed them.

"Don't mention the Imperius Curse again. There's a difference between dropping out and being expelled," Draco reminded her.

"Okay, let's talk about this spell later when we have a suitable place." Ariana ended the topic.

In Ariana's opinion, as Draco came from a magical family, he should not be averse to practicing the three unforgivable curses. The reason why he is so taboo now is definitely because he is afraid that Professor Snape will suddenly appear.

As she expected, Draco whispered, "If you don't drop out, we can form a club in the future and find a private classroom. Then we can study the Dark Arts together."

"But I've already told Professor McGonagall that I want to drop out. Now you're saying no, it's going to be very embarrassing for me." Ariana frowned and said.

Draco felt that Ariana was lacking common sense about the magical world, so he reminded her, "I admit that you have a high talent for magic. You can buy some magic spells in Diagon Alley or learn them on your own."

"But I have to tell you one thing, Diagon Alley will never sell books on dark magic, and even Knockturn Alley will not be able to find many. So if you want to learn advanced dark magic, staying in Slytherin is your only choice." He said this very seriously.

"What if I change my mind now? What should I do about my reputation?" Ariana asked in embarrassment.

Seeing that Ariana didn't grasp the point, Draco angrily complained to her: "You have to choose between face and substance. What do you choose?"

Ariana was 20 years old when she died in her previous life, and she lived another 11 years in this life. No matter how you look at it, she is an adult, so she cannot choose between face and substance.

"Why don't we set up this club today and learn the dark arts early, so that I won't be caught in this dilemma." Ariana suggested.

"Do you really think you can learn the dark arts in one day?" Draco looked at her speechlessly.

"I don't know if I can learn it in one day, but I know that if I delay in establishing the club one day, I will delay in learning the black magic one day." Ariana said in a firm tone.

Although Draco agreed with Ariana's words, in his opinion, it was still impossible.
