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

Moreover, many family castles are protected by magic. If there is no heir to open them, they will probably be buried underground like a tomb.

Hearing Ariana compare Harry to him, Draco curled his lips and said, "It's too late to say anything now. He parted ways with his own parents to stand on the side of Potter's parents, and then betrayed Potter's parents for You-Know-Who. How can such a person be the representative of a wizarding family?"

When this incident first came out, many people didn't believe it. After all, Sirius was a powerful fighter against Voldemort.

But he was indeed the Secret Keeper, and when he was caught, he not only killed 13 Muggles, but also refused to deny the crime of betraying the Potters.

Ariana nodded and said in agreement, "Yes, it's true that being a fence-sitter doesn't end well."

After she said that, she realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, Draco showed an embarrassed look on his face. After all, who could say that Lucius was not a fence-sitter based on his behavior after the mysterious man disappeared?

Seeing this, Ariana abruptly changed the subject and said to Draco, "The spell that increases speed and displacement. I made some adjustments during Professor Flitwick's duel yesterday. Let's use this spell when we practice fencing from now on."

Draco walked down the stairs and asked doubtfully, "Is there something difficult?"

If it had already been designed, Ariana would definitely teach herself directly instead of letting him take up fencing time to practice.

Ariana smiled and said, "As expected, my boyfriend guessed what I meant right away. I haven't been able to fix it before, probably because of your lack of magic control. This problem is really difficult to solve. I think the only solution is to practice more."

Just like when her magic awakened, she used it whenever she wanted. Maybe that's why she had such strong control.

But she was also very clear in her mind that when she used magic to make milk powder, she didn't find it difficult to control.

Ariana couldn't understand why Draco couldn't use the things in his body properly.

But considering that Draco has suffered enough blows, it is better not to say such Versailles remarks.

Today is Thursday. There is no Quidditch training after class. According to the daily schedule, the two came to the Black Lake to practice fencing.

After hearing Ariana's request, Draco looked at her speechlessly and asked, "You want me to use a sword in one hand and a wand in the other?"

Does his good friend know what he is talking about?

Ariana nodded as a matter of course and said, "Yes, the movement speed spell is only auxiliary, and your means of attack is a longsword, so you must have a weapon in both hands."

Using her wand to cast the displacement spell and holding the sword to attack the opponent was the fighting method she designed for Draco.

Draco scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm not left-handed."

Ariana patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Then you can use your left hand to control the wand and your right hand to attack with the sword. If you're just controlling it, it shouldn't be a problem to use your left hand."

She also wields two-handed weapons, but she holds a wand in her right hand and a longsword in her left. After all, for her, the strongest attack is still the spell, and the longsword is only for finishing blows.

Draco wanted to wake Ariana up and said, "I think it's a very big deal."

How could he possibly do that?

Ariana crossed her arms and said calmly, "This is the only way I can think of."

Her tone already had a strong tone.

As Ariana expected, Draco gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take the wand in my left hand and the sword in my right hand."

He felt that Ariana was angry, and if he tried harder, it seemed that the latter would be more acceptable.

Ariana nodded with satisfaction and said, "It will definitely be a little difficult at first, but it will be fine once you get used to it."

That being said, the lovely Lianna made him fight with both hands right from the start, not giving him any time to adapt.

Draco looked at Ariana aggrievedly and said, "Didn't you say to get used to it first? You should get used to it with one hand and then switch to the other. Why did you ask me to hold it with both hands?"

Ariana rolled her eyes at him and explained, "The first-year duel will begin in two weeks. Do you think you'll be able to separate and adapt in such a short time?"

In her opinion, even if they adapt separately, they will still have to cooperate with each other in the end. Instead of wasting that time, it is better to duel with both hands from the beginning.

Draco sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

He could already sense Ariana's impatience, so it was better not to make her anxious and angry.

Thinking of the last practice, Ariana said, "Maybe next time I can ask Goyle and Crabbe to come over and practice with you. If I practice with you, the results are too poor."

At Draco's level, he still needs opponents who are higher or lower in level so that he can adapt quickly.

Draco nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you say."

A person's upper limit is only higher than he realizes. Draco, who thought he was not capable at first, had adapted to fighting with both hands by the end of the training under Ariana's devilish training. However, his coordination still needs to be improved.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked back to the castle from the Black Lake. On the way, Draco suddenly pointed ahead and said excitedly, "It's that Norwegian Ridgeback. Are you planning to send it away?"

Because it had been over-baked, stopping the incubation would likely affect the development of the dragon egg, so Dumbledore let Hagrid continue incubating it until he contacted the people from the dragon farm to arrive.

By now the dragon had hatched, and the people from the dragon farm had also arrived.

Ariana raised her eyebrows and teased, "You don't even suggest going over to take a look?"

After all, he likes dragons so much, even if it is a lazy dragon.

Chapter 187 Gryffindor is always like this

Draco shook his head and explained, "Dumbledore is there. I know you don't want to see him. This Norwegian Ridgeback is still too young. It's not the kind of tall and majestic dragon I like. We can go to the dragon farm to see adult dragons later."

Although he liked dragons very much, and they might surpass Quidditch, he would never surpass his best friend. Of course, he had to consider Ariana's feelings.

Aliana smiled gently and said, "Let's go and have a look. We don't know when we can go to the dragon farm. I don't want you to have this regret. Anyway, I won't talk to him."

Draco really wanted to see this little dragon, which happened to be the same as his nickname.

Ariana was a celebrity in the school, the kind that others both feared and respected. When she and Draco went over, many people made way for her.

Ariana didn't want to talk to Dumbledore, but he wouldn't cooperate.

When Dumbledore saw Ariana, he ignored her indifference and asked gently, "Is Ariana also interested in this little dragon?"

Ariana glanced at him and said with a malicious look, "I'm only interested in the dragon's blood and liver. It's too small now."

What she meant was that there wasn't much dragon blood or dragon liver, and that it wouldn't interest her at all.

This was not meant to be a criticism of Dumbledore, but her research did involve this aspect.

Dragon lover Hagrid was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Dragons are such lovely creatures. Those who take their blood and liver are so despicable."

The dragon blood and dragon liver sold on the market are said to be taken from dead dragons, but no one knows for sure whether they are. Hagrid hates the merchants who sell these things and is not friendly to the buyers.

After all, if there is no buyer's market, how can anyone hunt dragons?

Ariana crossed her arms and asked speechlessly, "Those who use dragon blood and liver for research might be able to develop potions that can cure diseases and save lives. But you keep dragons in Hogwarts just to satisfy your hobby, and it also brings danger to all the young wizards in Hogwarts. Who is more despicable?"

Ariana and her friends scheduled their fencing session before dinner. At that time, the afterglow shone on the ancient castle, covering the magic academy with a layer of golden gauze.

I have to say that the scenery of Hogwarts at this time was as beautiful as a dream. Unfortunately, after hearing Ariana's ridicule, no one at the scene was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Dumbledore looked at Ariana with a smile, a hint of comfort in his eyes, and said tactfully: "Ariana, Hagrid means no harm."

Ariana frowned and responded impatiently, "I've noticed Gryffindors are always like this. They say they mean no harm, but their actions are filled with malice."

As she spoke, she glanced at the group of young wizards around her and added, "Do you dare to say that raising a dragon at Hogwarts won't be dangerous to the young wizards?"

Dumbledore, still maintaining his amiable smile, explained, "This dragon is only three days old. It certainly can't pose a danger to the young wizards, and it will soon be sent to a place suitable for it to live."

He honestly thought it was just a small matter.

Ariana crossed her arms, a mocking glint in her eyes.

"So you won't pursue his act of hatching dragons privately, just like when you shielded him from the Ministry of Magic's demands and released the Acromantula into the Forbidden Forest, allowing those spiders to reproduce there and preventing young wizards from going there?"

Those eight-eyed giant spiders in the Room of Requirement must have been brought from the Forbidden Forest. Ariana consumed a lot of them during her experiments.

So far, Hagrid hasn't made a fuss about the decrease in spider numbers, which shows that he himself may not even be aware of the large number of spiders in the Forbidden Forest.

Ariana asked Draco, and it was not a rule from the beginning that young wizards were not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, this rule was not introduced after Dumbledore came to power, but was only implemented after more and more magical creatures began to live in the Forbidden Forest.

But no one can deny that the proliferation of spiders is one of the main reasons why young wizards cannot go to the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore sighed slightly and said, "The Forbidden Forest is not only dangerous with the Acromantula."

What he said was actually a disguised admission that spiders were one of the reasons.

Ariana said with a firm tone, a little impatient, "But you can't deny that the infestation of Acromantulas is one of the main reasons."

Dumbledore also noticed Ariana's attitude. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll let Hagrid and a group of Gryffindors who made mistakes clean up the Black Lake."

He did forget Hagrid's punishment. It can be said that he basically doesn't remember things that he doesn't care about.

Ariana's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

"It is truly an honor for me, a first-year Slytherin, to remind the great Hogwarts Headmaster that faculty members who make mistakes must be punished. I wonder if the faculty members who put the lives of the young wizards in danger deserve to be expelled?"

When Hagrid heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red. If he left Hogwarts, he didn't know where to go.

Dumbledore gave Hagrid a soothing look before turning to Ariana and saying, "Ariana, I just want to get everything sorted out."

He felt as if everything he said and did touched Ariana's sore spot, making her sharp.

Ariana nonchalantly responded: "I'm not questioning you on that point, why are you making a statement?"

All I can say is that Dumbledore is like a nosy mother figure, meddling in everything, working hard and never complaining, yet no one understands him.

Of course, he gained the understanding of all Gryffindors. After all, he was extremely biased towards Gryffindor.

Dumbledore smiled helplessly and said, "Because you are not very satisfied with the result of my handling, are you?"

It seems that if I want to ease the relationship with Ariana, I really need to take some time, just like Snape said.

At this time, Draco interrupted their conversation and said to Ariana: "I have already seen it, let's go back to the castle."

When Ariana came, she agreed not to talk to the other party, but this was just her own decision, and others might not agree with her.

Ariana nodded and said politely to Dumbledore, "We'll be leaving first, Mr. Headmaster."

After saying that, he and Draco turned and walked towards the castle.

On the way back to the castle from the square, Draco looked at Ariana and said with some self-blame: "I shouldn't have brought you there. It made you feel bad."

Chapter 188 Testing the Killing Curse with a Mysterious Person

Ariana shook her head, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, and revealed a fact that she had previously ignored.

"I used to think that without him, everything seemed to be going well at Hogwarts. Now I realize that the problem has not been solved, I just turned a blind eye to it."

She made this mistake entirely because of the environment. After all, ignoring potential problems can indeed make her feel better.

Draco understood what Ariana meant and could only comfort her: "We are only in the first grade now, there is no need for you to be so anxious."

Besides, the first year wasn't even halfway over yet, and at least for now, no one dared to throw those questions at her. Draco felt that Ariana had done enough.

Ariana said firmly: "If I have to swallow my anger for a reason, then it is not me."

There was a gleam of unyielding spirit in her eyes.

Draco asked curiously, "So what are you going to do?"

Ariana sneered and said, "What else can I do? If you don't agree, just tell me. If you don't change, you can use your magic wand to speak."

She had just annoyed Hagrid so much that his eyes turned red, and she had actually started to do so.

Draco looked at the unbridled Ariana, smiled, and said happily, "You haven't been like this for a long time. I almost forgot how aggressively you fought with others before."

Especially when she threatened the entire Gryffindor with a bomb, it was so cool.

Ariana said nonchalantly, "Not for long."

School has only been open for two months now.

After being reminded by Ariana, Draco said with emotion: "It's mainly because there are so many things happening around us. I feel that time is passing very slowly, but I am enjoying it very much."

Ever since she met Dumbledore at the school gate, Ariana didn't see him again for the next few days.

That night, candlelight flickered in the auditorium, illuminating every corner.

Ariana frowned as she looked at the teacher's seat. She whispered to Draco, "Dumbledore hasn't appeared in the Great Hall for several days. Did he leave Hogwarts?"

She had previously guessed that the mysterious man would most likely attack Harry or the Philosopher's Stone when Dumbledore left Hogwarts.

So every time she came to the hall to eat, Ariana would take a look at the teachers' seats. Although she couldn't see Dumbledore every day, she could still see him every one or two days.

It's been 4 days since I last saw him.

Draco was startled and asked, "Could it be that the mysterious man will take action in the next few days?"

Ariana pondered for a moment and said, "Today is Tuesday. We are going to Professor Snape's office to do an experiment. We will ask him then."
