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

"Here, don't ask me to come again." He handed over the answer to the question Ariana wrote to him, then leaned dejectedly on his good friend's shoulder.

"Why?" Ariana asked hurriedly.

Did he betray his virginity? If that was the case, she wouldn't have to stick to her bottom line and could just cast an Imperius Curse on him to help Draco vent his anger.

Draco didn't notice Ariana's serious expression. He just felt so safe on his good friend's shoulder. He seemed to be alive again.

"I can't pretend to be gentle at all. She knows I'm pretending and even tells me how to act like one, as if there's a template. That tone, that demeanor, I still have goosebumps."

He felt that the other person's sticky eyes were still on him.

Ariana felt a little regretful for letting her good friend do such a thing, so she said without any principles: "Your sacrifice is really too great. I will buy you whatever you want in the future."

Draco asked quietly, "That certainly doesn't include the big villa, right?"

Ariana immediately picked up the principle and asked, "Is your dad sure he doesn't want to buy it?"

More than 10 million pounds, even for her it would take a long time to earn it, so she really couldn't give it to him. But it was no problem for him to stay there for a few days.

Seeing that there was really no chance of getting the big villa, Draco became even more discouraged. He no longer cared about his face and honestly confessed his family's dirty laundry to Ariana.

"Well, I didn't want to tell you. I don't think my family has that much money, so every time I asked, my dad pretended to be deaf and dumb. Our Malfoy family has been passed down for hundreds of years, but we can't even afford a house worth more than two million Galleons." Draco complained indignantly.

He didn't even think about the fact that he only had 60 gold galleons of pocket money a month, which was equivalent to a family with only 60 yuan of living expenses a month, but he wanted his family to pay 2.6 million yuan, which was impossible for them to come up with all at once.

Besides, it's impossible for a little kid like him to decide on such a large transaction.

What else could Ariana say at this time? She could only comfort him: "It's okay, he doesn't want to buy it. You can buy it yourself when you make money in the future. Anyway, you are going to immigrate to the United States with me, so save your money and buy a big villa in the United States."

If you don’t plan to develop in the UK, why buy property here?

Draco felt that Ariana was right. His purpose of buying a house was different from Ariana's.

Ariana was bought to maintain its value, and he mainly used it for living. Anyway, he would only be in the UK for 7 years, so there was really no need to buy it.

"Okay, next year I'll make a ton of money. Aren't you going to transfer all your assets to the U.S. this year? When you've decided where you want to live, I'll buy a house next door to yours."

He hasn't forgotten the wonderful fantasy of having his best friend as a neighbor.

Right now, the mood of a good friend is the most important thing. Ariana nodded and said, "No problem. We'll go see it together when the time comes. Choose the environment you like. It will be the same if I buy next door to you."

After being completely certain that he couldn't afford a house worth over 260 million Galleons, Draco began to shirk responsibility.

"You said my parents are really no match for yours. Your parents passed away when you were very young, yet they left you such a large sum of money, allowing you to buy whatever you like. My parents couldn't even do that."

Why is the gap between people so big?

Ariana complained in her heart, those dead parents who don’t know who they are are not as good as your parents.

Although the Malfoy family couldn't afford a house worth more than two million Galleons, at least they could get sixty yuan in pocket money every month, and a Nimbus worth one thousand Galleons cost 2000, which was enough to buy them after a little trouble.

However, she was pretending to be a pureblood, so she naturally couldn't say such things. She couldn't be used as an example for comparison, but there were plenty of other examples.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can compare yourself with the Weasley family." The most typical example of comparison is the Weasley family.

Chapter 131 I need to report to Headmaster Dumbledore

Draco thought of Weasley, whose entire family wore second-hand robes, and nodded thankfully, saying, "That seems to be the case. Compared to other people, my parents seem to be very impressive."

He used to be so confident about his financial resources, but it was all because of Ariana's extravagance.

After fulfilling Bloody Baron's request, the two went to find him to fulfill his promise of the deal.

"Sir, I have already told Ms. Grey what to say, but she has not given me a reply," Draco said.

The Bloody Baron remained indifferent. He simply nodded and said, "I know. Over the years, I've asked many young wizards to help pass on messages for me, but she has never replied to me."

What I like is the gentle and handsome type, and the Bloody Baron has nothing to do with him. I heard that these two people are still grudges against each other. In this case, there is no way I would be willing to reply.

Ariana didn't dwell on other people's love and hate. She asked, "Can you cooperate with us in doing a few experiments?"

"This is the price I should pay, isn't it?" The Bloody Baron nodded in agreement.

Now that Dumbledore has expressly forbidden research on spells against ghosts, Ariana decides to keep the experiment in the Room of Requirement.

Even though the place was discovered, if there was someone inside, it would be impossible for outsiders to enter because they didn't know the conditions for opening the room.

After entering the room, Ariana drew a magic circle and let Bloody Baron enter the circle.

"I'll use the detection spell first. Tell me immediately what you feel, Mr. Barrow," Ariana said.

Since he had to cooperate, Bloody Baron felt it necessary to remind Ariana of something.

"Ghosts have very indifferent feelings, maybe you will be disappointed." He almost relied on obsession to maintain his functions.

Ariana already knew about the ghost's feelings from Ms. Grey, so she proceeded as planned, raised her wand and began to chant the spell.

Bloody Baron watched as the light flashed along the lines of the magic circle and then converged on himself. Seeing Ariana looking at him, he shook his head.

"I don't feel anything."

This result was within Ariana's expectations, as the spell was cast with sentience, and she had received the data she wanted.

Ariana asked Draco to stand in front of her on the right, then said to the Bloody Baron, "Mr. Baron stared at Draco, his eyes changing drastically until he just glanced at him."

She wanted not only the caster to feel the ghostly presence, but also the person the spell was affecting to feel it.

This spell is very complicated and Draco can't learn it in a short time, so she has to cast it.

"So you're dealing with the ghosts that are watching you. Will they disappear?" The Bloody Baron said with sudden realization.

Ariana shook her head and explained, "This is a detection spell. Only people who are under the spell will feel it. It doesn't work on ghosts. My next spell is a restraining spell, and it won't kill anyone."

She didn't want to lose this experimental subject that she had worked so hard to win, so it was necessary to explain everything clearly to the other party in advance.

The Bloody Baron didn't think so. He looked at Ariana coldly and said, "You have already studied the spell to imprison ghosts. Killing them will be easy. You have the ability to do it."

Hogwarts is very big, but it is also very small. At least news spreads very quickly.

At least he knew about the duel between Ariana and Snape. Other ghosts might be able to guess something. After all, they were stationed in Hogwarts and were much more sensitive than the little wizards.

Having said that, Ariana could only declare, "My bottom line is life safety. Anyone who crosses the line will have no chance of getting away with it, including ghosts."

The Bloody Baron examined Ariana for a moment and commented, "You look a lot like a Slytherin."

Looking at the tense situation between the man and the ghost, Draco tried to lighten the mood by jokingly saying, "Ariana might have Slytherin blood. She's incredibly talented."

Being a descendant of Slytherin is not something one can call oneself lightly, after all, he has a very famous talent, which is Parseltongue.

Draco didn't know if Ariana had it, but if she did, it would be terrible.

Ariana didn't accept Draco's compliment.

She shook her head and said, "Are only the descendants of powerful wizards from the past able to possess powerful magical talents? I will become the best. My strength has nothing to do with anyone else."

Draco then remembered his good friend's competitive spirit and immediately agreed with her, saying, "Okay, okay, from now on you will be the first in the Colin family and make your descendants proud of you."

Although it was a compliment, Draco firmly believed that Ariana could do it.

The sedan chair was carried by people, and Ariana also smiled and complimented him, "You too, you will become the best in the Malfoy family in the future. You can heal people with your forehand and kill people with your backhand without being seen. You will definitely be more famous than me."

Lately she'd been trying to convince Draco that being a healer wasn't shameful, and it was starting to work.

Draco used to think that therapists served people, and as the heir of the Malfoy family, it was shameful for him to become a therapist.

However, lovely Lianna said that famous doctors are those who are asked to do so by others. After all, who can't lower their proud head in the face of life?

Hearing Ariana's words, Draco subconsciously accepted it. He nodded and said, "We all want to be the best in our respective industries and be begged by others."

By then, Ariana will become the most powerful wizard, and he will have the means to protect himself, and he will also be the most powerful healer in the world. The two can complement each other, which is also good.

The Bloody Baron didn't want to see these two brats showing off their affection, so he reminded them, "If you don't want to do the experiment, can I leave now?"

Of course not. Ariana put aside her encouragement and turned to the Bloody Baron. "The testing spell is done. Now we're going to test the binding spell. Mr. Baron, you might feel a little uncomfortable later. I'm sorry."

She couldn't guarantee what side effects this binding spell would have, as it used the same analytical principles as the Imperius Curse.

After Bloody Baron nodded, Ariana cast the spell. Unlike before when she had no feeling, Bloody Baron had a strong reaction this time.

Ariana was afraid of something going wrong, so she cast the spell in three minutes.

The Bloody Baron frowned and said, "It seems someone has cast a binding spell on me. Not only can I not move, but all feeling has stopped. I think it will dissipate over time."

What this means is that this spell is actually lethal.

Ariana frowned as she looked at the analysis of her spell, and it took her a while to find the crux of the matter.

"It might be that the neurons are involved, and that's where the obsession comes from. I'm trying to differentiate between these neurons. Wait a moment."

She wrote and drew on the paper again, concentrating on practicing brain occlumency to verify it.

The experiment finally ended two hours later. In order to ensure the continuity of the experiment, they came after class and the experiment ended before curfew.

Now that the experiment had come to fruition, the two men and the ghost had no intention of staying in the Room of Requirement, lest they be deducted points. Even the Bloody Baron didn't want Slytherin to lose points.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out, they were blocked by Peeves at the door.

"Colin is studying the Dark Arts, and Baron is helping her. I'm going to report this to Headmaster Dumbledore."

Chapter 132 Report: I am experimenting with black magic

Peeves shouted excitedly, but did not float away immediately, obviously wanting to see the terrified expressions on Ariana and the others' faces.

He had heard from other ghosts that Ariana had gone to the Room of Requirement again, but he had also heard that Dumbledore no longer required the young wizard to be monitored.

The reason why he was blocking here was not only to seek trouble with Ariana, but also to take revenge on Bloody Baron. After all, he had been bullied by this ghost for too many years.

Ariana didn't waste any time and raised her hand to cast a binding spell on him.

"Ah..." Peeves screamed and froze. "What kind of dark magic is this? I must report you to Dumbledore."

Peeves looked at Ariana angrily. If he could move, he would probably go through her body and make her uncomfortable.

Ariana thought for a moment and directly cast a silencing spell on the other party. This was aimed at the ghost energy field, and she was not sure whether it would be effective before using it.

However, Peeves's inability to speak proved its effectiveness.

Ariana misunderstood that her whereabouts had been exposed again. She sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the spell I just designed would be used so soon."

The Bloody Baron said coldly, "Peeves is not a ghost."

Ariana said doubtfully, "Isn't it? But it has the energy properties of a ghost."

She discovered that ordinary spells could also be used on ghosts. She only needed to replace the ghost's data in the variables and the spell would still work.

The Bloody Baron, however, didn't understand the principles of Ariana's spell and simply stated the facts: "He can touch objects, but we can't."

Now Ariana was very angry and was being watched, so she didn't pay attention to what Bloody Baron said. She just thought about it for a while and gave the most reasonable explanation.

"Maybe it's not the soul stage yet. It's a spiritual state. Maybe it uses some energy field to come into contact with physical objects." She had heard some stories about Peeves.

I heard that this ghost is created by emotions and is not created after a person dies.

Draco was also quite angry about being monitored again, but he asked doubtfully, "Didn't Professor Snape say that Headmaster Dumbledore has lifted the surveillance on you?"

But it seems that there is none now.

Ariana did not forget her previous decision. If any ghost came to act as a spy again, she would not let him go easily.

"Let's hang him in the auditorium and show these ghosts some power. Otherwise, they might think I'm easy to talk to."

Peeves hadn't reported to Dumbledore yet, and Ariana hadn't started researching the Killing Curse, so even if she wanted to kill him, she couldn't.

Snape had said before that he would give the analysis of the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse in three days, but today was already the third day and he hadn't come to see her. Ariana knew that the situation must have changed.

Thinking of these terrible things, Ariana showed a ferocious look, raised her hand and performed Transfiguration, creating a balloon that captured ghost energy, sucked Peeves into it, and pulled him to the auditorium with a levitation spell.

Along the way, some people saw her behavior and started talking about it in low voices.

"Has anyone messed with Colin again?"

"It's Peeves."

"Colin actually put Peeves in a balloon, and did you see it? Peeves can't move or speak. Doesn't it mean that the spell won't work on him?"

The little wizards all hated the mischievous Peeves. When they saw him in trouble, they were only happy and would not come out to help or speak for him at all.

The ghosts felt a bit sad for the loss of another, and even though they didn't like Peeves, some of them came out to give him some advice.

"Barrow, advise the young wizards of your academy that Peeves means no harm."

The ghosts had all heard of Ariana's notoriety. They used to think that she couldn't harm ghosts, but now seeing what happened to Peeves, no one dared to feel lucky.

"I can't persuade him," said the Bloody Baron grimly.
