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

Draco thought about it, made a suggestion, and said, "Otherwise, you can fall asleep next to me and I will practice by myself."

Ariana rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, “Then what’s the difference between sleeping with me in the dormitory and practicing on your own?”

Draco took her hand and said coquettishly, "I want you to accompany me."

If Ariana doesn't agree, he will say the magic word that she can't refuse.

It's already past 12 o'clock. If I get up at 6 o'clock, I can only sleep for 5 hours.

Ariana struggled and said, "But I can't get up."

The thing that attracts Ariana the most recently is magic, but for her, no matter how interesting magic is, it is still not as important as health.

Draco pulled her hand helplessly and compromised: "Okay, from now on you assign me training tasks, and I will get up and train by myself every morning."

He still remembered his promise to Ariana. Since she was so resistant to this matter, let her be. Being happy was the most important thing.

Chapter 184 Who doesn’t like to become a strong person?

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ariana hesitated and said, "Even if I can't get up tomorrow morning, I can still get up and accompany you later."

I usually go to bed at 11 o'clock and get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, which means I can sleep for 7 hours, which is enough to maintain the basic standard of good health.

Now that he had spoken, Draco had no regrets. He smiled gently, shook his head and said, "No need. I know you want to ensure the quality of your sleep, mainly for your life safety. You care so much about this, it's a pity that you even managed to get up for a week. I'm sorry I didn't consider your feelings before."

He also said that he would let Ariana do only what she wanted to do, but sometimes he subconsciously made things difficult for her.

Once you recognize your mistakes, you must correct them. This is the lesson his good friend taught him.

Ariana raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a happy smile, and asked in confirmation: "Do you really not need me to get up and accompany you?"

She really didn't want to get up so early.

Draco nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I said I support everything you want to do, including sleeping in, of course."

Ariana muttered speechlessly, "Waking up at 7:30 doesn't count as sleeping in."

Class starts at 8 o'clock. If it weren't for the help of magic, she might not be able to sleep until 7:30.

The next morning, students came to the hall sparsely, thinking it would be another ordinary day, but they were shocked to find that the Gryffindor house jewel cup was empty.

A Hufflepuff student asked in surprise, "All the Gryffindor points were deducted. What happened?"

Hermione also arrived at the hall. Seeing this situation, her face was full of anxiety and her voice was trembling.

She asked in disbelief, "Why were all our points deducted? Has all my hard work during this period been in vain?"

The ones who brought Harry and the others back yesterday were all senior students. Hermione didn't know about this yet. After all, she didn't have many friends in Gryffindor.

A Gryffindor student sighed helplessly and explained, "Yesterday, Potter and Weasley went to Hagrid's to look at the Norwegian Ridgeback eggs. They were acting so secretive, and the others were worried they might get into trouble, so a dozen people went to bring them back. Unexpectedly, they had a disagreement over the eggs, and they weren't able to return until curfew. Unfortunately, they were caught red-handed by Professors Snape and Flitwick."

There were elimination rounds of the dueling tournament in the evening. If it weren't for Slytherin's implicit reminder, Percy and the others wouldn't have paid attention to Harry and Ron's movements.

Hermione asked angrily, "So Gryffindor's points were taken away by these two professors?"

She now wanted to beat up Harry and Ron. After all her hard work for so long, these two people deducted all her money in one night.

The Gryffindor student shook his head and said helplessly, "No, it was Professor McGonagall who deducted the points."

As the vice-headmaster, Professor McGonagall could not cover up for so many students from her college who were caught by two colleagues violating school rules.

Not only were all their house points deducted, but these dozen Gryffindors were also punished with labor.

The Ravenclaw students looked at each other, and one of them said, "I used to suspect that Professor McGonagall was a little biased towards Gryffindor, but she just didn't do it openly. Now I have no doubts at all."

Another person echoed, "Yeah, Professor McGonagall even deducted all the points from her own house. Who can doubt that?"

Some people praised Professor McGonagall, but the Slytherins felt unhappy.

"There are more than 10 Gryffindors, and their points are only 146. Potter and Weasley both had 50 points deducted from their last night out. Now there are more than 10 of us. Based on the last deduction, each of them should have 25 points deducted. That's not enough to cover the deductions."

The Hufflepuff student, however, looked sympathetic and said, "Not only will they lose points, but they'll also be punished with labor. They say they have to clean up the Black Lake."

Hufflepuff students are kind after all.

Another person asked in surprise: "Who cleaned the Black Lake before, since it's so big?"

Another person guessed, "I don't know, maybe it's magic."

Draco, who loved to watch the fun, naturally didn't want to miss out on everyone discussing Gryffindor's misfortune.

He did not send his two bodyguards to investigate the situation, but went there in person.

After Draco left, Farley came over to share information with Ariana. After all, it was Ariana who started this incident.

Farley leaned closer to Ariana and whispered, "It's a good thing I listened to you and pushed this matter forward. Miss Know-It-All's ability to add points has been very strong recently. They've accumulated over 100 points so far, and there's still more than half of the school year to go."

Ariana fiddled with the fork in her hand absentmindedly, a faint smile on her lips.

"Granger is the kind of person who becomes more courageous when faced with setbacks. Now that all the house points have been deducted, her behavior of rushing to answer questions will only become more crazy. Moreover, the professors of various subjects will be more considerate of her when they see that all the points for Gryffindor have been deducted. Her score rate may increase significantly in the future." She shook her head and said.

Farley frowned and complained, "That's really unfair."

Ariana glanced at her and teased, "I thought you were used to the unfairness of Hogwarts."

It's impossible that Dumbledore started to favor Gryffindor so unscrupulously only this year. This senior is already in her fifth year.

Farley sighed helplessly and explained, "We were used to it before. After all, no one would stand up for us if we didn't accept it. But now Slytherin has you."

Even though Snape was quite inclined towards Slytherin, it was totally unrealistic for him to go against Dumbledore, so no one had such expectations.

Ariana's eyes revealed a hint of laziness, and she said calmly: "But I can't always carry a wand to uphold justice, and I don't want to confront Dumbledore recently."

Ever since she met Dumbledore, Ariana's magical life has been back on track, and she hopes it will stay like this for the next seven years.

The Slytherins were paying close attention to Ariana and knew that she didn't want to meet Dumbledore recently, and that Farley didn't mean that just now.

"You misunderstood. As long as you stay in charge of Slytherin for a day, even Dumbledore won't dare to go too far. You don't have to carry a wand and fight others all day long." She explained with a smile.

No one dared to provoke Ariana now, except for Ron who occasionally spoke badly, but everyone could see that he was just a coward.

Ariana was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, from now on I will be like you, senior. You are the god of the common room, and I am the god of Slytherin."

Who doesn't like to be strong? And this is what she intended, isn't it?

Seeing that Ariana understood what he meant, Farley nodded with satisfaction and asked, "By the way, do you have any plans for the Christmas holiday?"

Chapter 185: Poached

The Gryffindor point deduction was indeed important, but that was not why Farley came to Ariana, especially since the timing was not easy without Draco by her side.

Ariana put down her fork and said, "I have a lot planned. As you all know, my parents are gone, and I manage the family business myself. I also have a lot of study to do, and I promised Draco that I would take him to visit London."

Not to mention her various experiments and Draco's medical school arrangements, all of which need to be contacted before Christmas so that they can be carried out immediately during the summer vacation.

Farley asked nonchalantly, "Many families are holding Christmas dances this holiday. Are you interested?"

This was her real purpose, to test Ariana's intentions on behalf of the magic family.

Ariana understood Farley's implication, thought for a moment, and said, "If we want to go, we should go to the Malfoy family's Christmas ball first. If they don't hold one, we'll have to wait until next year."

She and Draco were openly boyfriend and girlfriend. If they didn't attend the Malfoy family's ball first but went to another family's ball first, others would question their relationship.

Farley frowned and asked in confusion: "The Malfoy family is unwilling to acknowledge you? This is a bit strange."

This was not what she expected. She thought that Draco sticking to Ariana all the time was the attitude of the Malfoy family.

Ariana also said puzzledly, "It's really strange. Since I entered Hogwarts, I have had repeated conflicts with the Gryffindor faction. Coupled with my magical talent, Mr. Malfoy should have been very supportive of my relationship with Draco, but he was against it at first."

What on earth was the reason that made Lucius reject the powerful wizard that the Malfoy family needed so much? Even if she hadn't grown up yet, she could still defeat Snape.

Snape and Lucius are good friends, so they should know about this. Even if Snape didn't say it, didn't Draco say it either?

These two people really didn't say anything that Ariana didn't know. Snape was embarrassed, and Draco simply didn't want his father to take advantage of Ariana.

If his family objected to them being together, he might have written a letter to tell his father about it in order to convince him, but now that his family no longer objected, Draco felt that there was no need to do so.

Farley frowned and analyzed, "Although your parents are gone, you have assets in the wizarding world. I heard that you have a lot of assets in the Muggle world as well. You are rich and a pure-blood. Mr. Malfoy should not refuse you."

Could it be that the Malfoys already have an ideal marriage partner? They were close to the Parkinsons before, but Pansy is no match for Ariana.

Ariana didn't want to dwell on the reason, she would know it sooner or later anyway, so she went back to the Christmas plans.

"Although I don't know if Draco's family will hold a Christmas ball, I do have a Christmas invitation from him. If it's okay, I'll contact you by owl."

Anyway, they will spend Christmas together, so we can go to those family dances that Farley mentioned later. It's just a business transaction, and Ariana is very familiar with it.

Farley leaned closer to Ariana's ear and whispered, "The Malfoy family is the most prominent family among the magical families. The biggest reason is that they were once You-Know-Who's strongest supporter family. They are also the trustees of Hogwarts and have many connections in the Ministry of Magic. But when it comes to bloodline, their family's bloodline is not very pure."

This topic is not sensitive, and it is obvious who Farley is wary of when he comes so close to talk about it.

Ariana smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Senior, are you planning to introduce me to a family heir with purer bloodline?"

I thought everyone was giving Draco face, but I didn't expect that Farley would dare to poach him while he was still in the hall.

Farley quickly waved his hands and explained, "I just want to remind you that Malfoy is not your only choice."

Since the Malfoy family doesn't think highly of Ariana, don't blame other families for snatching her away. She has such a strong magical talent, is rich, and is a mixed-blood.

I wonder what the Malfoy family thinks about him still hesitating about such a marriage partner.

Ariana's eyes were firm as she reminded the other party: "Malfoy is indeed not my only choice, but Draco is."

The only person she really interacts with is Draco. In fact, Ariana has high requirements for friends and cares about this friend a lot, but it is limited to him.

Farley knew that Ariana and Draco had a good relationship. Seeing that she valued people over family, he said with a hint of envy, "Well, your parents have passed away a long time ago, and the family assets are in your hands. You do have the capital to choose the person you like, not a family."

Unlike these pure-blooded young ladies from aristocratic families, their marriage partners are completely chosen by their families. If they don’t agree, they can only run away from home and then be expelled from the family.

Having grown up in luxury, how many people are willing to give up everything for the illusory love?

As for Draco's aunt Andromeda, that was because the Black family was suffocating, but the atmosphere in the average magical family was not that bad.

Draco came back after watching the excitement, sat next to Ariana, and asked, "What did Senior Farley just say to you?"

Even when he was far away, he never forgot to pay attention to the movements of his good friends.

Ariana smiled mischievously and said, "She said that if your father doesn't show more enthusiasm towards me, he will introduce me to the heir of a magical family with purer blood, saying that your family's bloodline is not that pure either."

The Malfoy family once pursued the Queen and had a Muggle-born mistress. This was no secret among pure-blood families, but that was before the Statute of Secrecy was enacted.

Muggle blood has not been introduced since the 17th century. Who can say that they are not pure-blooded? At most, they would just mutter a few words about not being pure enough.

Draco was so angry that he jumped up and down when he heard that. He said unconvincedly, "What? Senior Farley actually said that. Did she tell you which family's bloodline is purer than the Malfoy family's?"

Although they weren't really boyfriend and girlfriend, they were on the surface. If someone poached him, where would his dignity be? What infuriated him most was Farley's reason.

Ariana shook her head and said, "She didn't say."

Draco put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Humph, if our bloodline isn't pure enough, then the bloodlines of other families are even less pure. As far as I know, the only family with a very pure bloodline is the Black family. Now there is only one male heir left in this family, and he's in Azkaban."

Other families did not introduce Muggle-blooded wizards, but they had many half-bloods. At least after the Statute of Secrecy, the bloodlines introduced by Malfoy were all pure-blooded within three generations.

Other families can't do this.

Ariana thought of the arrogant Headmaster Black and asked curiously, "Has the Black family ever married a half-blood or Muggle?"

Chapter 186: He should also be bred first

Although he was voted the most unpopular headmaster, he had a strong presence on the wall, and Dumbledore seemed to value his opinions.

Draco shook his head and said, "Never. The person to be married to basically has to be a family member with no mixed blood within three generations."

Some people even marry close relatives because they cannot find a suitable marriage partner.

Everyone knew the dangers of consanguineous marriage before the confidentiality law, but they ignored it in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline.

Ariana nodded indifferently and jokingly said, "This last Mr. Black shouldn't have been imprisoned in Azkaban, otherwise he would definitely become the representative of the wizarding family. After all, no one can question his bloodline."

Just like the giant panda at the end, no matter how serious the crime he committed, he should be bred first to give birth to pure blood that no one can question, and then the judgment will be made accordingly.

Black is Draco's maternal family, so of course he knows the situation.

"I heard from my mother that Sirius didn't have a very good personality. And considering what he did later, I can conclude that his character wasn't good either. Even if he hadn't been sent to Azkaban, such a person wouldn't have been able to become the representative of a wizarding family."

Ariana said nonchalantly, "Just like Potter, as long as you can be a good chess piece."

Ariana does not advocate the theory of bloodline. She just thinks that magical families should not gradually decline, at least not like the Black family, and eventually disappear in the long river of history.

Although there is still a male heir, it is obvious that this heir cannot be released from Azkaban, and the disappearance of this family is an established fact.

Perhaps pure-blood families can be regarded as cultural relics. After all, they are of historical significance, not to mention that many magical resources are now in the hands of magical families.
