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

The entire Gryffindor team knew that Ariana was very observant, and Harry thought that she might notice the golden ball before him.

Harry felt that Ariana's flying talent was comparable to his, and since they both used the same broomstick, he had no advantage at all.

As expected by Harry, he saw Ariana dive again and fly quickly in one direction. Then he looked in that direction and saw the golden flying ball. He flew towards it without any hesitation.

Chapter 137 What is Colin doing?

The golden flying ball was not motionless. When Ariana approached the flying ball, it changed its position.

After chasing it several times without catching it, she did not chase it immediately, but stopped and observed its movement trajectory first.

Flint was anxious when he saw that Ariana didn't chase the golden ball, so he reminded her loudly.

"Colin, Potter is over." Flint also noticed Harry's flying talent.

Ariana didn't turn around, but responded loudly: "I know, I will take care of it here by myself, you guys carry out the previous plan."

The previous plan was that Ariana would focus on the Golden Flying Ball herself after 10 minutes, and the others would take advantage of this opportunity to get ahead by 150 points as quickly as possible.

The game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but the plan can still be implemented.

The golden ball appeared, and Gryffindor players in other positions were also paying attention. The other Slytherins could take advantage of this gap to score more goals as quickly as possible.

Flint received Ariana's instructions and immediately made a gesture to Draco, which was the secret signal they had agreed upon before.

Harry had already caught up and was chasing the golden flying ball.

Ariana's brain speed is very fast. She used probability to make calculations, and found the points where the flying ball was most likely to appear, and then flew to the shortest distance between those positions.

People on and off the court saw her action, but the flying ball was not there, and everyone was a little confused.

The people on the field had to concentrate on the game, but the people off the field started talking.

"What is Colin doing? Why is she going to that position?"

Ariana was deified a little too much at Hogwarts. No one questioned whether she had lost her level, but instead speculated about the purpose of her actions.

"She must have been trying to distract Gryffindor. Look, the other Gryffindor Beaters have been distracted by her, and Slytherin has taken the opportunity to score another ten points."

Gryffindor didn't get Ariana's hint, so of course they would be disturbed by her, but she had instructed Slytherin before that once she focused on the golden ball, others didn't need to pay attention to her and just tried to score the goal.

Slytherin really trusted her, so he ignored her and frequently snatched points when Gryffindor's attention was waning.

Greif saw Draco score another goal and shouted, "Ten points for Slytherin."

The audience's attention was drawn to the scoreboard, and someone immediately exclaimed.

"Slytherin now has 180 points, and Gryffindor only has 50 points. If Slytherin leads by another three balls, even if Potter catches the golden ball, Gryffindor will still lose."

Wood was so anxious that he shouted to his teammates, "Colin is just trying to distract us. Don't worry about Harry, everyone else defend him."

But the Golden Ball was too important, and it was impossible for Wood to just shout a few words and the players would focus on it. The other Gryffindors were already in a mess, and it would get even more chaotic.

"Ten points for Slytherin."

"Ten points for Slytherin."

"Ten points for Slytherin."

If Gryffindor hadn't scored, there would have been no suspense in this game. The game had been very exciting at this stage.

The people off the court turned their attention to the golden flying ball again, because now only this small ball could determine the course of the game.

Seeing this, Wood could only yell again: "Everyone, don't pay attention to Colin, hurry up and guard against Malfoy. If they score another goal, there is no need for us to continue the game."

The others also realized the seriousness of the situation. Fred, who was closest to Harry, shouted anxiously, "Harry, hurry up and grab the golden flying ball."

Slytherin was in the advantage at this time. Li Jordan was angry and didn't say anything. The only commentary was Greve's excited voice.

"Slytherin now has 210 points, and Gryffindor only has 70 points. If Slytherin gets another 20 points, it will be useless even if Gryffindor catches the Golden Ball." Greve reminded everyone present.

Someone in the audience suddenly shouted loudly.

"Look, the golden ball is flying in Kelin's direction. How could she know the location in advance?"

Before, everyone's attention was on the golden flying ball, but Ariana did not chase it.

This resulted in a lack of attention on her, but now that the golden ball was flying in that direction, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, a Slytherin explained: "Colin's brain speed is very fast. She can remember the most profound magical theories word for word with just a glance. Moreover, the magic analysis she wrote is expressed in calculation formulas."

"How do you know the calculation formula she used in the magic analysis she wrote?" Ravenclaw, who cared about learning, immediately asked.

Then someone explained, "Anyone who joins the Duel Club can see her magical research results."

“Someone actually shared their research results?”

"The spell analysis she used on ghosts was shared last night."

"Colin is so nice to Slytherin. She's so generous."

Slytherin immediately said proudly: "Yes, we will also fully support her."

After all, this is the Quidditch field, and Ariana's magical research topic is not mainstream. Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the exciting scene on the field.

"Did Colin calculate the direction the golden ball would fly?"

"If not, then she must have a gift for prophecy and was able to predict in which direction the golden ball would fly."

"Whatever the reason, she's just amazing."

"There's an interview for the dueling club tomorrow. I heard she's going to duel with 20 people, all of them seniors."

"You won't win them all, will you?"

"Even though she's quite arrogant, when has she ever failed to do what she said? I think she only said that because she was sure she could beat 20 people."

"I've won 1-on-20 before, once during class."

It was not long after the school started at that time, but it hasn’t been long since the school started now, so everyone present still remembers this incident.

"That's because her opponents are too weak. They're all first graders, and school has only just started a few days ago. Now she has to compete against older students, fifth, sixth, and even seventh graders."

"We'll know tomorrow if she can win 1 vs. 20."

"Look, Colin and Porter are facing off. Now it depends on who catches the golden flying ball."

"I think they're both equally skilled pilots, but Colin is clearly smarter. I think it's her."

"Potter is the savior, there's no way he can lose, right?"

"Can't the savior lose?" As soon as the words fell, someone immediately refuted.

The game came to an end with the appearance of the golden flying ball, especially since Ariana had already determined the trajectory of the ball.

Chapter 138 There is no time to separate

At this time, the two were flying facing each other, Ariana was waiting for the rabbit, while Harry was chasing the rabbit.

Just as Harry was about to reach the golden ball, Ariana grabbed it with a whoosh.

In order to avoid a collision, Ariana flew upwards at a 90-degree angle, and Harry reacted quickly, but he turned to the right, and the two almost collided with each other by an arm's length.

After catching the golden flying ball, Professor Huo Qi naturally blew the whistle to end the game.

Just now, when Ariana and Harry were competing, Slytherin scored another goal, bringing the score to 220 points. With these 150 points, the score suddenly reached 370 points. This game can be said to be a big victory.

The players from both sides flew to Professor Huo Qi's side.

Upon seeing Gryffindor, Flint couldn't wait to say proudly, "Wood, have you seen our golden seeker? Not only have we won the Quidditch championship for the past seven years, but we'll also be invincible for the next seven."

Flint had obviously forgotten that he was in seventh grade, and even if he repeated a grade, he would only be able to stay at Hogwarts for two years.

Wood's face looked extremely ugly. It's not that he couldn't afford to lose, but he couldn't lose so badly, right?

Facing Flint's provocation, he said calmly, "Didn't we agree that the game will continue until the end of training? Losing this game doesn't mean we'll lose the next one."

The morning is Slytherin's training time, and the afternoon is Gryffindor's. The two had agreed before that the two teams would compete for a whole day, which would be both a game and training.

"Then let's start the next game." Flint said excitedly.

They were all still young wizards with limited physical strength. Even though the captains of both sides said they would compete until the afternoon, they were a little tired at noon. In the end, Professor Huo Qi took the initiative to end the exchange competition.

They played five games in one morning, best-of-five, and Slytherin lost two, but they looked as if they had never lost a single game.

The two losses were all due to Harry catching fly balls. Even so, the score difference between the two teams was within 50 points.

From this point of view, it is very clear that Ariana's strategy of leading by 150 points is very effective.

Ariana always implements the strategy of encouragement. After changing clothes and reuniting, she praised her good friend a lot.

"Draco, you performed amazingly today. Even in the two games we lost, we didn't lose many points. It's all because you scored a lot of goals." She patted her good friend's shoulder happily.

Not only was Ariana happy about winning, but the other players who loved Quidditch were even more excited. Hearing her say that, they also followed suit and praised Draco.

"Malfoy scores the most goals. You are a seeker's speed and a chaser's agility. Even in a formal match, few can match you."

Draco, however, was unusually modest and said, "It's all thanks to the circular flying ball Ariana made for me. It helped me improve my reaction speed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten so many points."

She has to praise the other person even when she doesn't usually do so. Now that the other person has achieved such great success, Ariana's compliments are free.

"Although the props have contributed to this, it is also inseparable from your hard work. I know that you have to get up early every morning to train for an hour." Although it was a compliment, it was also the truth.

Draco really loves Quidditch. Ariana used to think that he would get bored of the endless training after joining the school team, but he still insisted on getting up an hour earlier every day to practice.

All I can say is that the reason these two can become friends is that they are essentially very similar. They are both obsessed with the things they like, and Ariana is also tireless in studying spells.

Draco looked at Ariana intently, with stars in his eyes.

"Didn't you suggest that I do what I can do well? What I want to do most right now is to win the Quidditch game. Fortunately, I didn't let my usual training go to waste."

At this moment, he really felt a sense of accomplishment, and his hard work was rewarded accordingly.

When Flint heard that Draco was practicing an extra hour every day, he immediately called on the other team members, "Everyone should learn from Malfoy and try to get up early and practice extra."

No one could get up, so I changed the subject and said, "We don't have a circular flying ball, and it's not easy to practice sensitivity anytime."

Classes start at 8 o'clock every day, and you have to set aside time to wash up and eat breakfast. If you want to get up early for extra practice, you have to get up at about 6 o'clock. Not every teenager has the perseverance of Draco.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her but no one dared to speak, Ariana felt a little helpless. Even though her attitude was very warm, the Slytherins were still afraid of her.

Ariana said readily, "My dear boyfriend allowed me to make a circular flying ball for you, but it won't be the one with the exclusive signature."

In fact, everyone was reluctant to speak up, not only because they were a little afraid of Ariana, but more because this thing had special meaning to both of them.

Upon hearing this, Flint immediately said happily, "Malfoy, not bad. You're willing to give up even this much just to win the game. We certainly won't ask for your signature. Everyone knows it's a token of love Colin gave you."

Ariana and Draco were in the same class and were always together, practically never apart.

In the eyes of the Slytherins, the two of them had a very good relationship and there was no doubt that they would not get married.

Draco loved it most when people said that he and Ariana had a good relationship. Although Flint didn't point it out directly, that was the meaning, and he immediately felt proud.

"Of course. From now on, all the alchemical items made by Ariana will be signed exclusively for me. Everything I own is one-of-a-kind." He hoped that others could point it out directly. Such implicit compliments were not satisfying.

Flint looked upset and immediately told everyone else to go back to the castle.

"Everyone is exhausted. Go back and wash up and rest. I'll try to get some food from outside the school. We won't be going to the auditorium for dinner."

No one wanted to eat dog food, so they immediately asked, "Can you buy some more candy?"

"No problem, enough for you." Flint was a man with plenty of money, so he agreed immediately.

Watching his teammates walk away arm in arm, Draco complained to Ariana, "Why don't they praise us more? They're changing the subject so abruptly."

The atmosphere was quite good just now, why did they suddenly stop talking about his friendship with Ariana?

Ariana knew the reason, but she felt that no matter whether she and Draco were friends or in love, the fact was that they had a good relationship. Anyway, she couldn't declare it now, so let it be.

"They don't have best friends. Maybe they are jealous of us. Try to understand each other." Ariana comforted him indifferently.

The smile returned to Draco's face.

"Yes, no one has a better relationship than us, not even Potter and Weasley. I often see Weasley looking at Potter's flying broom with jealousy." He also found a comparative case.

Although Draco no longer often picked on Harry, he was still brooding over the rejection he had received and usually subconsciously paid attention to Harry's movements.

Harry's best friend is Ron, which makes it inevitable for him to compare his relationship with Ariana. In the end, he concluded that there is no comparison at all.

Chapter 139: Subtle Respect for Ariana

With so many conflicts happening, Ariana naturally paid attention to Ron. After analysis, she found that he might have felt inferior because of his outstanding brother. Suddenly becoming friends with a celebrity like Harry, his vanity naturally exploded.
