Especially during class time, she already knew all the content. If Hogwarts was a day school, she would definitely have to take leave frequently like in elementary school.
Draco's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Can I listen?"
Have you ever heard of this kind of alchemical item? It seems very powerful. Anyway, Ariana will definitely give him one, so he should learn how to use it first.
Ariana handed him the headphones and smiled, "Of course, but it's not the final version yet. There might be some errors. I guess it won't be finished until tonight."
The main reason is that the data has not been fully recorded, some words may not be accurate, and the ability to describe illustrations needs to be optimized.
After hearing Ariana's explanation, Draco didn't know how to praise her.
"It would take others years to design an alchemical item, but you completed it in just a few hours. That's amazing."
She also always looked like she was complaining about the slowness, which was something Draco really wanted to complain about.
"This is all thanks to your alchemical materials. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to collect the materials." This time, Ariana didn't complain about the slow process.
Draco patted his chest complacently and said, "What other materials do you need? You can prepare a list for me in advance and I'll ask my dad to prepare it for me. Otherwise, if you need it later, you'll waste time waiting."
He knew Ariana too well. If she wanted to do an experiment, she would do it immediately, and would become very impatient if she didn't have the materials.
As her best friend, Draco could only find a way to solve her problem.
A large number of magic bracelets are needed. The materials that Draco asked his mother to send were just for collection as a hobby. There were many types but not many quantities. Ariana really needed a batch of alchemical materials.
"As expected, my boyfriend always thinks of me. The magic bracelet requires a lot of materials. Ask your father to send the price list when the time comes." She was not so shameless as to use so many things from him.
Draco smiled and said, "No need. I'm already trying to convince my father to invest in the dueling club. When the time comes, you can tell him how much money is needed. These materials will be included in the investment budget."
Ariana wants the magical family to invest in this club to ensure that the duel competition can continue. Isn't the Malfoy family the largest family in the magical world?
He convinced his father to join, and other families would surely follow suit.
"The duel competition hasn't even started yet. Will he be willing to vote?" Ariana asked hesitantly.
Draco smiled proudly and said, "My father now always grants me whatever I ask for. I told him that 60 Galleons a month was not enough, so he raised it to 100 Galleons."
Ariana looked at him in surprise and asked, "It's almost doubled. What reason did you use to convince him?"
Draco said a little embarrassedly, "I told him that if I didn't have enough money, I would definitely ask you. Then he immediately raised my price by 100 Galleons and told me to discuss it with him if I wanted to buy anything expensive, and not to ask you."
He had remembered Ariana's threat from before. In fact, he didn't have much expenses now. He mainly wanted to save more money and take advantage of the opportunity Ariana mentioned next year.
Ariana couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "You magical families are all very proud. If you tell your father this, where will the Malfoy family's face be? Forget about asking for 100 Galleons. I guess he would agree to it even if you asked for 1000 Galleons."
If others knew that the heir of the Malfoy family used his girlfriend's money, they would probably think that their family was going to fall into poverty?
Draco shook his head and said, "Probably not. If my family has so much money, why doesn't he agree to buy me a big villa?"
Although he gave up the big villa, he was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to test his father's attitude from time to time.
Ariana thought for a moment and suggested, "You said your family couldn't afford it, but that was just your guess. He never told you the reason, and maybe it wasn't convenient to say it in the letter. You can ask him about it during Christmas."
The more Ariana learned about the wizarding world, the more she felt the waters were deep, even though their business did not involve the Muggle world.
But who are the suppliers of those shops in Diagon Alley, and where do the dragon livers and dragon hearts worth hundreds of gold galleons come from?
Unexpectedly, Draco, who was obsessed with the big villa, frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll wait until I make some money and then go to the United States with you to buy a big villa. We've already decided to immigrate anyway."
Draco wanted to get that big villa, not only to satisfy his vanity, but mainly because it would be closer to Ariana's home in London.
Ariana doesn't plan to develop in the UK, so there is no need for him to buy it.
Ariana nodded in agreement and said, "That's great. I think the British economy will never be as good as the American one. Maybe during the Christmas holidays you can convince your dad to transfer his assets to the US."
Draco was a little puzzled and asked, "The wizarding world isn't affected by the Muggle world's economy, so there shouldn't be any need to transfer assets, right?"
He still has self-awareness. He might be okay with asking for a small amount of money, but when it comes to matters involving millions of dollars, his father turns a deaf ear and dumb.
Ariana said seriously, "I'm asking you to plan for the future. As the heir to the Malfoy family, you want to develop in the United States. Do you want to keep your family assets in the UK?"
She is now letting Thompson do these things, but he is not in London, so the decision-making is not timely and the asset transfer is quite slow.
Draco slapped his head and said, "I didn't react at once. Okay, I'll convince my dad to transfer the assets by Christmas."
Chapter 171 It doesn’t seem that bad
Farley and the others had to quietly guide the impulsive Gryffindors. Hagrid's dragon egg had not been exposed yet, but Ariana had made the bracelet first.
On Thursday, Ariana went to Snape's office and planned to ask him to help test the upper limit of the magic strength of the bracelet.
Snape looked disgusted and said coldly, "What kind of delusion makes you think I will cooperate with this test?"
Who knows whether this little ghost is measuring the upper limit of magic strength or the upper limit of total magic power, but no one knows how to measure this thing.
Ariana said innocently, "I just want to test the upper limit of the bracelet's magic strength. Since you don't want to, I'll go find Professor Quirrell. I think he's in good shape recently, so his magic power should be quite high."
If it really doesn't work, you can go ask Professor McGonagall. It's just a small matter. I don't understand why Snape reacted so strongly.
It’s no wonder that Snape reacted so strongly, because the bracelet was not worn on the wrist, but on the arm.
There was a Dark Mark there, and although Ariana hadn't said to roll up his sleeves, he didn't want to take the risk.
Snape thought for a moment and said calmly, "Since you want to test the upper limit of magical strength, shouldn't you go to Dumbledore? In the entire wizarding world, is there anyone with more profound magical power than the most powerful white wizard?"
Ariana said unhappily, "I don't want to talk to him, and I don't want to owe him a favor. Besides, the magic power of these contestants in the duel tournament isn't as high as mine, and their strength is probably average. I just want to make sure if an adult wizard wears this magic bracelet, the stats won't explode."
Snape snorted and said, "Give it to me. I'll go get him to test it."
Ariana, who had gotten what she wanted, asked worriedly, "Wouldn't it be considered as me owing him a favor?"
There haven't been many opportunities to meet up with Old Bee lately, and Ariana feels the air is even sweeter. If possible, it would be best if they don't meet for the next seven years.
Snape knew about Ariana's duel in the Yin-Yang Society and Dumbledore's sudden appearance.
"As the headmaster of Hogwarts, if anything happens to a student duel, he'll be the first person to bear the brunt of the responsibility. Furthermore, you also designed the magic ring that can prevent young wizards from overdrawing their magic power and becoming Squibs. If something still happens after this, he'll be to blame."
As a principal, if you do nothing and even ask others to owe you a favor for helping to test safety props, then you shouldn't be a principal.
Ariana felt a little happier, then sighed, "Sometimes I think my attitude towards him was pretty bad. I asked him to take responsibility, but I didn't allow him to be partial. He's not a saint, after all."
Dumbledore doesn't seem to be that bad, except that he is a little irresponsible, biased, and suspicious.
Snape examined the brat for a long moment, snorted coldly, and asked, "So you've decided to listen to him and side with the Savior?"
This was the only request Dumbledore made of Ariana. If the little brat agreed, the treatment of the third generation Dark Lord should be reduced.
Ariana immediately retorted, confidently saying, "He's not a saint, so what am I? People are inherently biased. When he goes too far, I have to speak up. Whether I can make him change his mind is my ability."
The main point is that you are biased and I object to mine. If you feel bad about it, then you should adjust your attitude. If you are thick-skinned enough, you can continue to be biased.
Snape complained to her speechlessly, "I don't know how to evaluate a brat like you."
Of course, Dumbledore did not refuse to test the upper limit of this magic bracelet. After all, it can ensure the safety of the young wizard in the duel.
After he put it on, there was no overload. Ariana had already expected this situation, because this magic bracelet tests the strength of magic, not the total amount of magic absorbed.
As long as the intensity is low enough, the magic bracelet will not sound the alarm. Ariana wants to find an adult wizard to do a magic test just for the final confirmation.
Dumbledore looked at the bracelet in surprise, then smiled at Snape and said, "It seems that Ariana's talent for alchemy is as strong as her talent for magic. Do you think I should introduce her to Nico to ease the relationship between us?"
He had wanted to ease his relationship with Ariana before, but he had never found a good way to do it.
Nicolas Flamel just didn't have a particularly talented successor, so perhaps if Ariana was obsessed with alchemy, she wouldn't have studied black magic.
Snape resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said sarcastically, "If you want to ease the relationship, it's best not to have any ulterior motives. This brat is very sensitive, especially when he's wary of you, he'll see through your thoughts clearly."
Although Ariana is good at talking about human relationships on paper, she is also good at it. As long as she is willing to pay attention, she can still see a lot of things clearly.
Dumbledore said helplessly, "But our relationship can't remain so strained forever. If it were in the past, she would have come to me directly with the magic bracelet."
After hearing this, Snape really wanted to complain about Dumbledore. But who could he blame?
You told me to go directly to him if I had any problems, but he came to me excitedly with the report.
Then you tell her to wait until next year, but that little girl is so impetuous that she won't wait even tomorrow, let alone next year.
Snape had figured out that Ariana just needed to be smoothed over. It had only been a short time since she last faced off with Dumbledore, but she had already begun to understand the old bee's position, although she didn't necessarily agree with it.
Snape thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you planning to wait until next year? We'll talk about it then."
Children won't hold a grudge for that long. Mainly, Snape also wanted to see how Dumbledore would treat Ariana after the Dark Lord was completely defeated.
Is it true that he would not deliberately suppress Slytherin's rise as he said?
And Snape also wanted to delay it. Ariana was growing very fast. With his help, the kid might be able to meet Dumbledore next year.
It may not be possible to defeat her, but she is not completely without confidence. Now not only Draco feels that Ariana is suppressed by Dumbledore, but Snape also feels this way.
All in all, it’s because of lack of strength. If Slytherin also had a powerful wizard, would Dumbledore dare to be so wary of Ariana?
Dumbledore didn't know that Snape had thought so much about this. He felt that what he said was right, so he nodded and said, "Okay. I hope everything goes well this year and Tom's matter can be settled."
After seeing Dumbledore's agreement, Snape told him the main purpose of coming to him today.
"Did you follow Colin again after you left on Sunday?" Snape looked at him seriously.
He hoped to find some clues from the other person's face. This old bee was very good at disguise, so he was not sure.
Dumbledore asked, a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Snape explained, "Colin said that when she came out of the dueling classroom on Sunday, someone was following her. She could feel the fluctuations of magic and the gazes on her. She was very confident in her feelings and was sure it wasn't a ghost."
He asked Draco later. He had looked at Draco several times before, and Ariana could feel his gaze. It seemed that this kid had very sharp observation skills.
Chapter 172: Still want to duel with Professor Quirrell?
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's face grew serious.
He shook his head and denied it. "I heard that the Dueling Club was holding an internal duel ranking for employees, so I went to check on the situation in stealth. I saw a young wizard about to overdraw his magic power, so I intervened and left after that."
He indeed did not follow Ariana. When he went to the duel classroom that day, besides being worried about the safety of the young wizards, he was also somewhat curious. Who said that a centenarian didn't like to watch the fun?
Snape analyzed with a serious face: "If it's not you, then there must be someone else in Hogwarts who is spying on her. It could be Quirrell or the You-Know-Who."
Quirrell never left Hogwarts except for a trip to the Forbidden Forest, but he shared information with the mysterious man.
This is what Snape couldn't figure out. Maybe the mysterious man really had sneaked into Hogwarts.
As a former subordinate of the mysterious man, Snape knew that the land and original castle of Hogwarts were contributed by Slytherin.
The mysterious man is a descendant of Slytherin, so maybe he knows some secret passage.
Dumbledore's expression was not good either. He nodded and said, "I will pay attention."
As for whether he could catch this person, he didn't dare to guarantee it, because this person definitely didn't dare to get close to him.
After explaining this, Snape continued, "She asked me to tell you something. She said she has developed a blocking spell for the Killing Curse. However, to do this experiment, someone must first be cast with the blocking spell and then be cast with the Killing Curse. The experiment is stuck on the subject, and she thinks it can be used on the stalker."
Dumbledore smiled wryly and said, "That's a threat to me, isn't it?"
How could he not know that Ariana suspected him of spying on her?
Snape didn't say whether it was true or not, but said in a businesslike manner: "That's what she meant, if you think so, then it should be."
The main point is not to take any responsibility.
Regarding Ariana's hostile attitude, Dumbledore said somewhat helplessly: "But I remember that she just caught Harry following her, but she didn't use the Killing Curse."
The Killing Curse was no joke, if Harry and the others followed him again, he would die from a Killing Curse, Harry wouldn't, but the Weasley family's youngest son had no magical protection.
Snape knew what Dumbledore meant. He said sarcastically, "Will Potter use the Invisibility Spell? With Colin's ability, he should be able to tell whether the stalker is an adult wizard or not."
The implication is that only adult wizards would experiment with this blocking spell.
Given the slogans Dumbledore always shouts, how could he possibly agree to such a thing?
He said firmly, "I hope you can persuade her. If someone gets hurt by mistake, no one wants to see the consequences."
By then, Ariana will become a murderer, and the subject of the experiment will die from the killing curse, and no one will be in trouble.
Snape did not mention the experiment anymore, but reminded Dumbledore: "I think you may need to know one thing. She is still an 11-year-old kid. Sometimes she is not so rational, especially when she is forced into a corner."
If her life is threatened, she may lose her mind. Given Ariana's love for life, she will definitely use all means to protect herself.
Dumbledore nodded and said, "I understand."
He said so, but he didn't say what he knew.
In fact, Dumbledore was also helpless, because he was not following Ariana on Sunday, he was just curious about the duel.
It seems that someone else has really entered Hogwarts, but I don’t know if this person is Voldemort. If not, who is it and what is his purpose in coming to Hogwarts?
As Snape was leaving, Dumbledore couldn't help but call him back.
