But anatomy is not like this. Every muscle must be dissected carefully to understand the structure of each part.

Ariana thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you just treat this blood as red ink? I don't think it's disgusting."

Draco grumbled speechlessly, "The taste of ink is different from the taste of blood."

How can this person be compared like this? They are completely different, okay?

Ariana also complained speechlessly, "I just asked you to think of it as red ink, but it's not really red ink. I heard that many medical students feel disgusted when they first encounter anatomy. It seems that I am really an outlier. I don't feel that way at all."

It seemed like she would immediately have a reasonable explanation in her mind for whatever she came into contact with, whether it was Transfiguration or the Killing Curse. Maybe this was what they called talent.

Draco thought for a moment and suddenly said, "What I just said wasn't quite accurate. You're just afraid of someone using the Killing Curse on you, not that you're afraid of it. You're still so brave and fearless, so this character trait is reflected in your magical attributes."

Ariana really didn't know what fear was. Even when she used the evil Killing Curse, it was just like using an ordinary spell, and her expression didn't change at all.

People need time to adapt. Draco is still very resistant to the Killing Curse. If the topic continues to be discussed, the Killing Curse will be involved again. Ariana immediately changed the subject.

"Professor Quirrell is truly remarkable. Even Professor Snape couldn't figure out the properties of magic, but he explained it to us so easily. It shows how far he has come in his research."

Thinking of the reason why Draco couldn't accept her using the Killing Curse, Ariana added a few more words.

"I should research the curse in Defense Against the Dark Arts. If Professor Quirrell and You-Know-Who aren't related, maybe I can break the curse and make amends to him."

People are self-deceiving. I hope Draco will feel better after she said this.

Chapter 148 She drew her wand

Draco felt much better. He thought that if Ariana lifted the curse, Quirrell could stay in his position as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Jobs in the magical world are quite scarce, and the other party might be willing to forgive Ariana for the sake of a stable job.

Then Draco asked again, "But didn't you say before that this curse can only be broken by the You-Know-Who himself, or he will die? Do you have any ideas?"

Ariana just said that without considering any ideas to resolve the curse, so how could she say it now?

"Not yet. This curse is quite strange. How did he cast it on the workplace? Even a curse needs to be attached to a tangible object to be effective, or it needs to be attached to a specific person." Ariana frowned and analyzed.

Moreover, the degree to which each person is cursed is different. Some are unlucky and lose their lives, while others are just injured and are fine after leaving their jobs.

The scope of the curse is the person who stays in the position, but this position is not a chair. Whoever sits on it will be affected. This is what Ariana can't understand the most.

"Even you can't figure it out. I guess the curse can only be lifted after the mysterious man dies." Draco said.

As a child who grew up in the wizarding world, Draco had never heard of any wizard who was good at cursing, at least not as good as Ariana.

"Maybe when you solve the mysterious man in the future, you will have solved Professor Quirrell's problem as well." Draco said jokingly again.

Ariana looked at Draco, who was already able to dissect a frog, and then looked at his textbook, but did not continue the topic of cursing.

"It seems that not only my experiment has encountered difficulties, but you will also encounter difficulties soon." She felt that people are very adaptable.

Draco was vomiting so badly just now, but now with his company, he was able to complete the dissection of the frog.

I hope he can adapt to the Killing Curse soon.

However, dissecting animals is probably just an excerpt. The rest of the textbook is almost entirely about the dissection of human organs, so Draco is afraid he still has a lot to learn.

Of course, Draco also read the textbook, and when he heard what Ariana said, he immediately wilted.

"Yes, you need a living person to test the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse, and I need a corpse for autopsy. Even the Room of Requirement can't produce one for us."

Draco didn't know whether to be thankful or helpless that he didn't have to dissect the human body immediately.

Ariana had already analyzed that the Room of Requirement could only produce ownerless items.

There can't be any corpses in Hogwarts, and the owner of a person is himself. How can the Room of Requirement create one for them?

Ariana knew the discomfort of having his experiment stalled, so she could only comfort him, "Your progress isn't very fast anyway. When the holidays come, I'll find a way to get you into the hospital's internship team. There, you should be able to experience real human anatomy."

Draco's problem was easy to solve, but solving her own problem would require a better timing.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Ariana said, "You can't keep studying anatomy. We've almost finished with this frog. Let's study the counter-spell for the healing spell. I have a little idea."

Of course Draco would not refuse Ariana. He saw her look at the anatomy book, compare the healing spells for treating minor wounds, and then began to write the reverse spell. He looked at the spell on the paper and immediately showed an indescribable expression.

"What you wrote are all mathematical equations, I can't understand them." Draco looked at her speechlessly.

It had only been a day since Thompson delivered the book. Perhaps Ariana had forgotten that she was the one who could read it just by looking at it, and no one else could.

Of course, Ariana did not forget that Draco could not understand this kind of magic analysis. She wrote it just to enrich the results of Slytherin's magic research.

"If you want a gray wolf to appear, I will teach you how to do it. You can do it just by following my instructions." She drew out her wand.

If that were the case, of course Draco would, after all, that was the way Hogwarts taught.

But before learning, Draco said, "I have to learn Muggle knowledge as soon as possible. Once my father sends the case report, you will definitely not have time. And I can't always expect you to teach me every spell."

The main reason is that healing spells are not Ariana's research direction, and she certainly won't spend time on it.

Not only was Ariana busy with her own magical experiments, but Draco also knew that his best friend was not a patient person.

Not only is she impatient when teaching, but the people being taught will also lose confidence because of her disgust.

Don't ask him how he knew.

Ariana patted Draco's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are indeed my boyfriend. You know that I am impatient with teaching. It seems that your expectations for my future have been dashed. I am not suitable to be the principal of a magic school."

Draco still hopes that Slytherin will have another headmaster, or he hopes that Slytherin can surpass Gryffindor. It can be said that every Slytherin has this wish.

"Look, Dumbledore doesn't teach his students either. As long as you are strong enough and can defeat Dumbledore, you can definitely replace him and take his place." He felt that Ariana was the most promising Slytherin.

Ariana reminded Draco, "But we want to immigrate to the United States."

Draco was choked, but quickly said, "Then go to an American magic school and become the principal. I heard that the school was founded by a descendant of Slytherin. It's said that the atmosphere is quite open and does not exclude Muggles."

Slytherin became the headmaster of a school founded by Slytherin's descendants, and it seemed that he could also suppress Gryffindor.

Ariana said excitedly, "It seems that the atmosphere in the American wizarding community is better than that in the UK."

Now that I have become a wizard, even if I immigrate, I will definitely go to the wizarding world over there. It seems that having a position there is not bad.

"I don't know the details, why not ask my dad?" Draco used to only pay attention to the British wizarding world.

Ariana shook her head and said, "Ask later. It's still seven years before immigration."

Recently, they have been looking for information and going to St. Mungo's to get case reports. They have already troubled the Malfoy family enough. Ariana feels that she can't just take advantage of them.

After the nonsense was over, Ariana entered the teaching mode, explaining while casting spells.

"You see, this spell heals muscle wounds when used in the forward direction. And in the reverse direction, I'm channeling magic power to soften the muscles like mud. Pay attention to my gestures. This effect is a bit like a disarming spell, especially when used on the opponent's wand-holding hand." Ariana said.

Although this spell class cannot take away the opponent's spells like the Disarming Spell, it can prevent the opponent from picking up a wand. Even if they want to cast spells without a wand, it is impossible unless they use a positive healing spell.

After Ariana healed the giant gray wolf's injuries, Draco immediately learned to cast a spell. After seeing the effect, his eyes lit up with astonishing brightness.

Chapter 149 That’s Because You’re Perfect

"This is indeed much easier than using the Disarming Spell, but can such a lethal spell be used in a duel?" he asked without thinking.

Ariana was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"My boyfriend is really kind. He's subconsciously concerned about whether it will hurt others. Don't worry, generally speaking, the first condition for the use of new spells is that there must be a counter-spell. We are currently using the counter-spell to hurt someone, so you can try to heal it with the positive spell."

Draco ignored Ariana's teasing and cast a healing spell on the limp gray wolf.

"It's really recovered." He said in surprise.

Ariana had just used a healing spell, and although the gray wolf was able to stand up, its condition was obviously not as fast as when Draco used it to recover, and its mental state seemed to have returned to the state before the spell was cast.

"Your magic is indeed very suitable for healing spells. The effect of what I used just now was not as good as yours. Even the gray wolf could not recover immediately." Draco also healed the injuries caused by her counter-spell.

It seems that he is really suitable for the profession of therapist.

Draco ignored Ariana's attempt to check on the wolf's injuries and suddenly hugged her excitedly.

"Ariana, thank you for giving me a way to become a strong person. Even if I can't change the properties of magic in this lifetime, at least I can have the means to protect myself." His voice was choked with sobs.

During this period, although Draco did not change much in front of others, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would always think of Quirrell's pitying eyes.

This made him cling to Ariana even more, because only when he was with her, there were so many things to do and it was so lively, he could temporarily forget all his troubles.

Of course, Ariana knew what was bothering her good friend, but she didn't have any good solutions. Seeing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, she could only pretend she didn't know.

"I'm glad you can accept this method. Actually, I don't want you to change your magical properties." Ariana patted his back and comforted him.

Feeling Draco's slightly stiff body, knowing that he had misunderstood her meaning, Ariana explained the reason.

"You heard what Professor Quirrell said the other day. To change the properties of your magic, you need a drastic change in your personality, and to maintain that change, it's generally very unlikely unless you're in a desperate situation, on the verge of death. And it might not be permanent. I can't bear to let you go through that kind of change."

Draco murmured, "You didn't tell me that."

"It's very good that you are the way you are now. If your temperament changes drastically and you become unhappy, your relatives and friends around you probably won't be able to get used to it." Ariana said.

Human desires are endless, so Ariana said that we should look at what we have gained and not always think about what we have lost.

Next, Ariana didn't always accompany Draco when he experimented with healing spells. She just gave him a start and let him figure out the rest on his own.

Although she still read books on black magic to fill the time for magic experiments, reading alone could not verify the theories contained in the books. Ariana could not stand it after only three days.

Since she couldn't study the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse for the time being, she planned to study the direction given by Quirrell, which was the storage of magic power in the brain.

"What? You want to find Professor Snape to study the location of magic storage. Didn't Professor Quirrell say that magic is stored in the brain? Why do you still need to study it?" Draco asked.

Ariana retorted speechlessly, "Is what he said the truth? I have to verify it myself. Besides, humans are not the only ones with brains. Professor Snape has studied potion ingredients from many animals, including many magical beasts. Working with him can save us a lot of trouble."

She plans to study the brain areas of animals first, and as for humans, she will see if there is an opportunity later.

Draco suddenly realized and said, "I was told. The Room of Requirement can produce all kinds of magical animals. If it was just for animal research, why would you want to work with him? It turns out you're attracted by his experience."

"Are you still not used to me using the Killing Curse?" Ariana asked suddenly.

In order to help Draco adapt, Ariana used the Killing Curse a lot during the experiments these days to help him kill the animals that needed to be dissected.

The reason I ask him this question now is mainly because I think if he still can't accept it, I won't include him in the next research.

Draco nodded pathetically and said, "Still a little bit uncomfortable."

Ariana opened her mouth, but she was reluctant to exclude him from her plan. After thinking for a while, she made a decision.

"I promise you one thing. Even if Professor Quirrell is really related to the mysterious man, as long as he doesn't harm anyone, I won't try the blocking spell. Don't be afraid, okay?" Ariana looked at him.

Draco felt very sad when faced with a good friend who was willing to give in for him. He asked dejectedly, "Ariana, am I so useless and a coward?"

Why could an heir to a noble family who took pride in dark magic not even accept the Killing Curse? He didn't tell this to his family, nor did he dare to tell anyone except Ariana.

Ariana comforted him, "I told you, there's nothing shameful about being kind, and we're boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's normal for us to tolerate each other. I've asked so many things of you, but you've never asked anything of me."

It seemed like she had been making demands on Draco since they met, even down to his sugar intake. Draco not only followed through on every request, but also didn't complain at all.

Draco became even more frustrated after hearing this and said sadly, "That's because you're perfect, unlike me, who has a lot of problems."

Ariana didn't try to comfort him and asked directly, "I'm going to talk to Professor Snape about this. Are you coming?"

Draco immediately composed himself, nodded, and said, "Of course, wherever you go, I'll go too."

He felt that even if he had troubles, they could be solved quickly by staying with Ariana, so of course he always wanted to be with her.

"Let's go, my dear boyfriend." Ariana took the lead.

Snape's office was filled with the smell of potions all year round, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of strange bottles.

Snape had promised before that he could study with this kid. When he heard her request, he just frowned slightly but did not refuse.

"I have indeed dissected many magical animals before, but I have never paid attention to their brains. Moreover, I don't have an observation spell that can be used on the eyes like you." I didn't know that magic power was stored in the brain before.

This answer was within Ariana's expectations. She nodded and said, "Then Professor, please prepare the magical creatures on the list for me, and also prepare a hidden laboratory."

The Room of Requirement has been exposed. It's better not to do this kind of experiment there, including Draco's dissection, which is best done here, and the equipment here is more suitable.

Snape asked thoughtfully, "Are you not studying the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse anymore?"

Chapter 150: Thanks for your support and add another chapter

This little brat was only in the first grade, and judging by her paranoid complex, Snape didn't believe that storing magic power would take precedence over research on the Killing Curse.

Ariana replied nonchalantly, "There's no subject for the experiment, so it's stuck for now."

She also looked at the black bat in front of her thoughtfully. Maybe he had some special channels to get ghosts?

Snape was actually very curious about whether Ariana could develop a counter-curse to the Killing Curse. Because he was anxious, he subconsciously asked without thinking, "What kind of experimental subject do you need?"

After saying that, he realized, what other experimental subjects could it be? They just wanted to find someone to be hit by the Killing Curse to see if the counter-curse is effective.
