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

It's not appropriate to hand it over to someone else, so let Snape monitor Ariana. Although he will only report selectively, at least he can play a role.

No matter how hard he tried to suppress her, Ariana was disgusted by his kind words, which really put Dumbledore in a dilemma.

During lunch, Draco noticed Ariana's mood change and asked in confusion, "Wasn't this interview quite successful? Why do I feel like you're not very happy?"

Draco cares about Ariana very much, and no small change can escape his eyes.

In this interview, Ariana not only selected the ten most powerful people, but also directly proved her own strength. Draco felt that no one would dare to act presumptuously in front of her in the future.

Ariana chuckled and asked, "Do you think it was successful?"

"Haven't you already selected 10 people? Isn't that a success?" Draco was puzzled.

Ariana shook her head and explained, "I'm not upset about the interview, but I'm shocked by the students' fighting ability. I don't know how strong pure-blood wizards are. If they are all like half-blood wizards, then you can imagine how bad the performance of Hogwarts students will be."

She glanced at Dumbledore's position and saw no one there, but that didn't stop her from complaining.

The teaching is so bad, and this old bee is still eating candy all day long. If it were someone with a sense of responsibility, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to eat any food, let alone candy.

Draco knew that pure-blood wizards were not as powerful as half-blood wizards.

He said cautiously, "It's not that exaggerated."

"The actual situation may be even more exaggerated than what I said. No wonder the admission rate of Aurors has been declining year by year. With such combat power going to fight against dark wizards, I'm afraid they will only be fought back by dark wizards." Ariana was speechless about this.

The school atmosphere has changed, and now there is the issue of wizard survival. Shouldn't these be Dumbledore's responsibility?

Maybe she should wait until she goes to the United States. Otherwise, what if the situation in the United States is just as bad after she makes changes here?

"So what do you want to do?" Draco asked.

He could already tell that Ariana was about to complain about Dumbledore again. If it were in the past, Draco would have thought that Ariana was meddling too much.

But he was used to favoring Ariana now, and felt that she was right to complain. It was Dumbledore's failure to manage the school that made his good friend feel uncomfortable everywhere.

Ariana pondered for a moment and said, "I certainly can't control others, but I'm the one who pays the salaries of these 10 people. How to arrange them is just a matter of a word."

Draco felt that he needed to persuade them. The wizards were quite casual and might not be able to accept Ariana's efficient work style.

"What are you going to do?" He decided to ask first.

Ariana continued, "I want them to improve their combat capabilities, using this as a breakthrough point to gradually radiate to other academies."

Since it can enhance his strength, Draco doesn't plan to persuade him anymore.

He asked excitedly, "How do I improve?"

"Of course we'll fight against each other. Since it's a duel club, we'll have a battle ranking system, put the ranking list on the wall, and implement an elimination system to see who dares not to take it seriously." Ariana said fiercely.

Hearing about this opportunity to increase strength, Draco asked again: "Can I participate?"

Just like practicing sensitivity, Draco felt that as long as he put in the effort, he would gain something, but if he did nothing, he would gain nothing.

"Of course you can, but Adrien and the others are at least in the fourth grade, I'm afraid you can't beat any of them." Ariana looked at her good friend a little conflicted.

She knew how much the young master cared about his reputation. When the ranking list was posted, he was ranked last. What a blow it must have been.

Draco lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Bottom is bottom. I want to improve my combat power. I don't believe that after such a long period of duel training, my strength can't be improved."

Since her good friend had made up his mind, Ariana would certainly not refuse to help, and she and Draco had long been inseparable.

"You are willing to give me everything you have, so of course I will do the same. There will be a place for you in my club in the future."

She paused, then continued, "As for the duel rankings, as long as you're not afraid of losing face, then go ahead and participate. It's also quite good. Getting used to the feeling of battle in advance will be very helpful for participating in the competition."

Chapter 144 Her Boyfriend Wants to Participate

Ariana only stipulated that club employees could not participate in the competition. Draco was not an employee, so of course he could participate in the competition.

Ariana announced this at the afternoon staff meeting.

"Duel once a month?" Adrian frowned as he looked at the newly appointed boss.

Don’t we only have two weeks to prepare for the duel competition? Why do the club members have to duel among themselves?

Ariana then said, "Originally, I wanted to force you to spend an hour every day to improve your combat power, but then I felt that this method lacked initiative. Over time, you might even become resistant to me."

In fact, she had thought so before, but people all have a rebellious mentality. The best way to deal with office workers is not to whip them, but to use carrots and sticks, so she changed her strategy.

"No." Adrien thought Ariana was thinking too much.

She had no idea how rare this opportunity was for a half-blood wizard, and how anyone could possibly resist it.

Ariana waved her hand for silence and continued, "I've already made up my mind. Competition creates motivation. The Duel Club will only have eight permanent members. The other two will be eliminated at the end of the month, and then we'll have another recruitment meeting. To compensate you for your efforts, I'll increase your salaries."

There is an elimination mechanism and corresponding rewards are given, which everyone can accept.

Seeing this, Adrian could only ask for details of the duel.

"Then how do we compete in this duel?" I hope it won't delay the arrangements for the duel competition.

"They will compete against each other in pairs, taking turns within a month, and the number of victories will be ranked from high to low." Ariana felt that there was no time limit, so she would have more time.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was not a competition with Ariana.

The duel this morning made them afraid of the schoolgirl in front of them, and no one wanted to face her again.

But unexpectedly, Ariana would not attend, but her boyfriend would.

Given the sticky state between the two of them, who would dare to beat this young master? Not to mention that he is the heir of the Malfoy family.

Looking at the indescribable expressions on Adrian and the others' faces, Ariana knew what they were thinking after a little thought.

"Draco just wants to improve his fighting skills. Add him to your duel list. He is a first-year anyway. You can't be unable to beat him, right?" She used provocation.

Everyone felt even more embarrassed. The Malfoy family played an important role in the wizarding world. If they couldn't defeat them, they would lose both face and dignity in front of Ariana.

But if they really defeat him, won’t this young master take revenge on them?

Looking at the still-silent employees, Ariana could only explain again, "Don't worry, he just wants to improve his dueling skills. Just do your best."

Draco also knew why these people were unwilling to do so. He said unhappily, "I won't harbor revenge just because I lose. I wouldn't do such a shameless thing. Besides, I have Ariana's personal guidance, so I don't necessarily have to lose all the time."

It would be interesting to see those students above the fourth grade lose to him.

The employees are ranked in terms of combat power only to motivate them to strive and rise. The most important thing for the duel club is to organize the duel competition in November.

Ariana took out the dueling class schedule she had written to Dumbledore before. It was still the same plan as before, with duels within each grade, with a clear ranking of combat power, and the top three would finally participate in the duel for the entire grade.

Her goal was not to select the three strongest fighters, but to let all Hogwarts students know their own rankings in order to inspire their self-improvement and fighting spirit.

Because the meeting ended early, Ariana took Draco back to the dormitory to get his things, and then ran to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor to conduct experiments.

It was Draco who was the main one taking things, as many of Ariana's experimental materials were placed in the Room of Requirement.

"This room is yours. Build a lab bench and you can study anatomy and healing spells while I study the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse over there. From now on, we'll study the contents of the book in the common room."

Now that we have less time to come to the Room of Requirement, we must use it wisely.

I just went back to Slytherin mainly to get the scalpel that Thompson sent me. This is the prop Draco needs for his next research direction.

"Are you planning to use this place as a laboratory?" Draco laughed when he heard that.

Ariana also smiled and said, "I feel like this is a laboratory, but it's more functional. It can be transformed into any scene you want at will, which is unexpected for us."

Now that I think about it, it does look very similar. After all, being able to freely move unowned objects within the Hogwarts area would be very convenient for experiments.

Draco drew the layout of the operating table from the medical book Thompson had sent him, then looked around and nodded in agreement with Ariana's guess.

"This room must have been built during the time of the Four. Maybe it's Slytherin's. I heard there's Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, and it's said there's a monster inside. Don't you think the Room of Requirement looks a bit like a monster?"

He felt that this possibility was quite high, as it just happened that the two Slytherins discovered this place.

Ariana felt that Draco admired Slytherin very much, and the last time he guessed her bloodline, it was also related to Slytherin.

"Slytherin has been dead for hundreds of years. There is no way to verify these things now. Just mind your own business." She told Draco to quickly conjure up animals and conduct dissection experiments.

Draco also knew that he didn't have much time here, so he nodded and thought of a frog.

He planned to start learning anatomy from small animals, and the anatomy book he was given also said so.

"Ew..." Draco couldn't help it halfway through the autopsy and kept vomiting while holding the trash can.

Seeing this, Ariana put her wand back into her wand bag and walked over to give him a clean with her silent wand.

"Why don't you just practice spells? Your magic power just lacks momentum, not all magic. If you keep vomiting, you'll even vomit out your gallbladder." She handed a bottle of water to Draco.

"No, I said, I will stick to it no matter what difficulties I encounter. It's just a little disgusting. I can overcome it." Draco rinsed his mouth before speaking.

Draco could still vividly remember Professor Quirrell's look of pity, which had deeply affected his sensitive mind. He just didn't show it normally, which made Ariana worry.

Ariana knew that magic had become her friend's inner demon. Just like what she had discussed with Quirrell, the only way to solve Draco's problem was to change his magical properties.

The method we know now is to change his temperament drastically and completely transform himself. I don’t know if it will work, but if Draco changes, will he still be the same person?

"Take a break. Don't rush at the beginning. It's better to proceed step by step." Ariana was talking about anatomy.

Draco looked at the still-uncleaned lab table and said with lingering fear, "I didn't expect Muggle medicine to be so disgusting. They can even dissect the human body so clearly."

Chapter 145 You have to take off all your clothes to take a bath

This was just the beginning of dissecting a frog. According to the learning progress in the book, he would have to actually dissect a human body later. Just thinking about it made Draco want to vomit again.

Ariana said calmly, "If they knew about the wizard race, they would also want to capture one and dissect it. They're especially curious about where our magic is stored."

There were many cases of wizards being caught and sent to the dissection table, but they were all dealt with by the Ministry of Magic.

This was after Draco decided to study this course and consulted his father. The information Lucius sent contained a lot of these secrets.

The Malfoy family was not very enthusiastic about Ariana now, but Lucius knew that many of the things Draco asked were what Ariana wanted to know, so he would basically satisfy them, and his main thing was to accept them silently.

"It seems that the Statute of Secrecy is very necessary." Of course, Draco also read those secrets.

Lucius did not send the information to his son because he agreed with his son studying anatomy. He just wanted to change his son's attitude towards Muggles and let him know the crimes committed by Muggles against wizards.

With Ariana's close influence, it seems that the effect cannot be said to be zero, but it can be said that there is no effect at all.

Ariana followed up on his words, "Yes, the Statute of Secrecy allows Muggles to live in a world without wizards, while allowing wizards to ensure their own safety."

She just wanted to say something to lighten Draco's mood.

Draco, however, was rebellious because of her words and asked unconvincedly, "You mean we wizards are hiding?"

Now that there are no outsiders around, Ariana certainly won't care about Draco's face and will just say whatever she wants.

"If we're not hiding, why are we afraid that Muggles will know our magic? Why not rule over Muggles like Grindelwald and use magic in front of them?" Her tone was full of sarcasm.

After the scuffle with the half-bloods, and Slytherin's reaction when she mentioned the mysterious man, Ariana felt that all wizards were a bunch of cowards who only knew how to hide when encountering trouble.

Draco didn't dwell on the question anymore, instead asking what concerned him most.

"If Slytherin can't solve the population problem, will we really destroy ourselves?" After all, he is Malfoy, who represents the pure-blood family.

Ariana nodded without hesitation and replied, "Wizards are also human. When it comes to life and death, everything will give way. So wizards will not destroy themselves, but Slytherins may very well."

Draco suddenly realized and asked doubtfully, "Is your experiment not going well?"

He knew Ariana very well. Once she became addicted to experiments, she would generally not stop unless there were force majeure factors.

"You figured it out?" Ariana said with a wry smile.

Draco nodded and said, "I used to be the one reminding you to rest, but now it's the other way around. It can only be that your experiment didn't go well. The Killing Curse is a forbidden spell, so it's normal that it's not that easy to decipher. Don't be too anxious."

He thought Ariana was having trouble, which was quite unusual, considering she had always been successful in magic.

Ariana shook her head and explained, "How could I continue the experiment when you were vomiting so badly? It's not because the experiment didn't go well, although that's a little bit of the reason."

She almost always has an idea when doing experiments, and the reason for failure is usually only insufficient materials, and this time is no exception.

Draco remembered that Ariana had questioned him before, and thought that she was also unhappy, so he apologized immediately.

"Well, I shouldn't doubt your feelings for me. I am the most important in your heart, right?" Draco had recovered now.

Ariana said solemnly: "Of course, you are my best friend. In my heart, you are more important than magic."

"You should say he's your boyfriend. You should also be careful in private. What if you let something slip?" Draco looked at her disapprovingly.

Ariana said readily: "Okay, let me say it again, you are my boyfriend, in my heart, you are more important than anything else."

Satisfied, Draco continued with the previous topic.

"It's rare to see you have trouble with your experiments, and it's like you didn't have any experimental subjects when you were studying the Imperius Curse?" Draco asked.

The only magic experiment that stumped Ariana was the verification of the spell against ghosts.
