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

Although arrangements have been made on the 4th floor, if the mysterious man attacks Harry, knowing that Dumbledore is not in school, perhaps we can pay attention to Harry's movements in advance to determine the best time.

Draco said worriedly, "Will Professor Snape tell us?"

Although Snape is quite inclined towards Ariana now, only he knows what he really thinks.

Ever since he found out that Professor Snape didn't hate Harry that much, Draco had been questioning his godfather in his heart.

Ariana said as a matter of course: "I just asked if Dumbledore was in school. It doesn't have any impact."

Given her current relationship with Professor Snape, how could she not even want to talk about such a small matter?

Draco still hesitated and said, "Perhaps he will doubt your intentions. After all, he knows that you have a bad relationship with Headmaster Dumbledore."

He had not forgotten that Ariana had previously threatened Dumbledore to experiment with the blocking spell of the Killing Curse on him.

Maybe Professor Snape didn't want the two sides to fight to the death. Draco vaguely knew why Snape favored Ariana.

Slytherin really needs a powerful wizard. Maybe Snape felt that if Ariana killed Dumbledore, she would have no chance to grow, so he tried his best to stop it?

Ariana had no idea that Draco's mind had gone wild. She simply shook her head and said, "Let him be suspicious. I don't think he would mind me testing the Killing Curse on You-Know-Who."

Because Dumbledore did not show up, Ariana and Draco were a little worried. Not only was the atmosphere on their side not very good, but the atmosphere at the Gryffindor table was also a little tense.

Hermione looked at Ron and Harry angrily and asked, "Why can't you have some sense of time? You made me wait in the common room for more than 10 minutes."

Even though Ron and the others had very good reasons, if they had a sense of time and prepared in advance, they would not have been so flustered at the last minute.

Ron said nonchalantly, "We've already announced that Neville's Memory Ball was missing when we left the house, so we were trying to find it for him, which delayed us a bit. If you're in a hurry, you can come to the Great Hall first."

He was really fed up with Hermione's meddling behavior. Even after he explained, she was still complaining.

Harry and Neville didn't dare to refute Hermione, they just whispered to them to stop arguing.

Faced with Ron's attitude, Hermione, who was already angry, became even angrier. She said firmly, "Percy asked me to keep an eye on you. I can't let you lose points anymore."

Ever since they were deducted points last time, Harry and Ron were collectively taught a lesson by the Gryffindors.

Finally, Percy came up with an idea. Everyone took turns watching the two people, and notified each other as soon as they left everyone's sight.

They were literally being monitored.

After only two days, the people who were monitoring him became a little careless, after all, he was a Gryffindor.

So Hermione took on the task automatically. She couldn't let her hard-earned house points be deducted again.

Even though he had lost face so many times, Ron still felt a little embarrassed to be accused in public.

He mocked Hermione impatiently, "How many times are you going to mention the point deduction? And you took the initiative to get the task of keeping an eye on us. Why are you so nosy?"

Hermione's face flushed with anger, and after a while she retorted, "If you hadn't lost any sense of time, how could you have forgotten to return to the castle and lost all your Gryffindor points?"

She was still upset about having all her college points deducted, and even though she had said it many times, she couldn't help but say it again.

Ron was a little exasperated and asked her loudly, "This thing can't be moved on, right? How many times have you said this over and over again?"

Seeing Ron's aggressive look, the others refused to help. Hermione said aggrievedly, "You guys deducted all the points I worked so hard for in one night, and you don't even allow me to say anything, right?"

Chapter 189: It was Professor Quirrell who delivered the message

Now that no one was helping Hermione to blame him, Ron became much bolder.

He looked at Hermione viciously as she vented her dissatisfaction and said, "Why are you so annoying? Look, not only do the people in Gryffindor hate you, but people from other houses have started to hate you too. You need to reflect on your own problems."

Harry couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he quickly grabbed Ron and said, "You're going a bit too far."

But Hermione didn't even eat and ran out of the hall.

This farce was seen by other houses, and many people looked at Gryffindor and whispered to each other.

When Ron was pulled back by Harry, he had regained some of his senses, but he was too embarrassed to say anything softly, so he just stuck to his eating with his neck stiff.

After watching the farce in Gryffindor, Draco said with a bit of gloating, "Weasley went a bit too far, but I think he has some truth in what he said. Granger has really been too much lately. Even Hufflepuffs, who don't care about grades, are unhappy with her."

He felt that Hermione was a bit of a slut. Ron had targeted her countless times, but she always came up to him and meddled in his affairs.

Ariana sneered and said, "Anyone can blame Granger, except Potter and Weasley."

Although she didn't like Hermione very much, Ariana knew the difference between good and evil.

She added, "Granger's right. All the points she worked so hard to earn were deducted overnight. Isn't it normal for her to be angry? If it were me, I wouldn't waste my words. I'd just cast a spell and hang these two people in the auditorium for the whole night."

Fortunately, she did not join Gryffindor, otherwise, let alone standing on the side of the savior, she would probably kill the savior.

And as for those impulsive and irrational Gryffindors, I'm afraid everyone will have to cast a few spells to subdue them.

Hearing Ariana say that she wanted to hang Harry in the hall, Draco chuckled and said after a while, "I would do the same if it were me."

Ariana also smiled and said, "We are indeed worthy of being boyfriend and girlfriend. Our thoughts are becoming more and more in sync."

While Ariana was complaining about Gryffindor to Draco, Professor Quirrell ran in breathlessly and shouted to the people in the teacher's seat: "There is a troll in the basement."

All the professors in the auditorium stood up and looked at Professor Quirrell in surprise.

Professor Flitwick asked in surprise, "Where did the troll come from?"

Trolls usually live in mountains. The Forbidden Forest does not have that kind of terrain, and there is no way such magical creatures can exist in Hogwarts.

Looking at the young wizards in the auditorium who were frightened by the news, Professor McGonagall said calmly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let the students return to the common room immediately. The prefects of each house, please count the people after returning to the common room to see if anyone is missing."

Because Professor Quirrell said the troll was on the underground floor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff were sent back to the common room by their own head of house.

In the Slytherin common room, the flickering candlelight could not conceal the tense atmosphere.

Ariana frowned and said to Draco, "I just said Dumbledore wasn't in school, and now a troll has run into Hogwarts. If there's no conspiracy, then it's really hell."

The most suspicious thing was that the person who came to deliver the message was Professor Quirrell. She didn't believe that an adult wizard who had already studied the properties of magic would not be able to deal with a giant monster.

Draco's mind moved, and he said, "You mean to say that Professor Quirrell attracted everyone's attention and then ran to the fourth floor to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these two things could be connected, but they couldn't go to the 4th floor to check the situation now.

Ariana shook her head and said, "We'll only know if it is true after we go and see it."

After all, the mysterious man has two targets, one is Harry and the other is the Philosopher's Stone on the 4th floor.

If he was going to attack Harry, there would be trouble in the Gryffindor common room right now.

The professors would definitely go find the troll, and the little wizard in the lounge might not be able to protect himself, let alone protect the savior who had not yet grown up.

After hearing Ariana's analysis, Draco said with some concern: "But Senior Farley is taking roll call and is guarding the door. How are we going to explain to her that we need to leave the lounge?"

He could already tell that his best friend wanted to leave the lounge.

But Ariana said confidently: "I'll go talk to her."

The opportunity to experiment with the Killing Curse and the Blocking Curse is so rare. Once you miss it, you don’t know when the next chance will come.

Ariana walked over, whispered a few words in Farley's ear, and then took her to the corner of the lounge, accompanied by Draco of course.

Hearing the two men wanting to leave the lounge, Farley looked at them in surprise and said, "You're going to test your spell at this time?"

Ariana often updates the results of her magic experiments. Everyone in Slytherin knows that she has a secret place in Hogwarts to study and experiment with magic.

So when she left the public's sight, no one in Slytherin would ask any questions.

When Draco heard that Senior Farley didn't bring him along, he quickly said, "And I'm going too."

Ariana looked at Farley seriously and said in an ambiguous tone, "This spell can only be completed at this time. Can you help me, Senior Farley?"

If she was really the third generation reserve Dark Lord, perhaps she could break the moral bottom line and find anyone to experiment with this spell. Unfortunately, she only enjoyed the treatment of the third generation Dark Lord.

Farley hesitated and said, "But if something goes wrong, I can't afford the consequences, especially since there's a Malfoy heir among them."

Her family is not prominent, and her bloodline is not very pure. She was able to become the Slytherin prefect entirely due to her personal ability.

If something happened to Draco at this time, she would be the first person to bear the brunt of the blame. Not only could she not bear this responsibility, but her family could not bear it either.

Draco understood Farley's meaning, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I won't go. Ariana can go by herself."

If Ariana was alone, it would be easier for her to escape, and Farley would let her go.

Ariana looked at Draco in confusion and said, "But don't you want to be with me forever?"

Of course she knew what Draco meant, and the main reason she said this was that she wanted to take him with her.

It wasn't that Ariana was conceited and could protect Draco, but she wanted him to see all kinds of situations and get out of the safe shell his father had created for him.

Chapter 190 Draco, go up and drag Potter out

Professor Flitwick's method still made Ariana take it to heart. Although it is not advisable to change one's personality due to a drastic change in temperament, it is indeed worth trying to influence someone subtly.

Draco doesn't have to take the lead in everything, but instead allows him to experience more things, gain more knowledge and broaden his horizons.

As for the possible dangers this time, if you stay in the lounge, you might be killed by the crystal chandelier falling from the sky.

If you are afraid of this and that, even drinking a sip of water can be dangerous.

Draco understood what Ariana meant, and his heart warmed, but he said, "If I go with you, Senior will definitely not let me go. This is what you want to do. I promised to support you all the time, including now."

This is indeed what he thinks.

Ariana looked at Draco and asked seriously, "Do you believe me?"

Draco nodded firmly and replied, "Yes, I trust you very much."

Although they had not known each other for that long, they had been through a lot, and Draco felt that he now trusted Ariana more than anyone else.

Ariana put on a confident smile and said, "As long as I don't die, you will never be hurt. Just tell me if you want to go."

Her promise to Draco would always stand, no matter what.

Looking at Ariana's confident expression, Draco said without hesitation: "I want to go. I want to be with you, no matter how dangerous the situation is."

After saying this, he felt his heart pounding, and he didn't know why.

Farley was speechless after being fed a mouthful of dog food, but she didn't want to complain about these two people like Snape did.

So he said helplessly: "I will only give you one hour. If you don't come back before then, I will go find Professor Snape."

She had no idea what experiment Ariana wanted to do, and thought she had her own laboratory in some abandoned classroom.

If she hadn't encountered the troll in the corridor, nothing would have happened. The most important thing was that she felt that Ariana could deal with the troll.

Hearing Farley's words, Ariana said gratefully, "Thank you, senior."

Then he opened the door and went out with Draco. All the Slytherins saw it, but no one stood up to blame them.

In the corridor on the third floor, the lights were dim, and Draco nervously held Ariana's hand.

But before he could elaborate and explain that he was not afraid, he suddenly heard a sound.

Draco stopped and listened carefully. After confirming, he said, "It seems to be the voices of Weasley, Potter, and Granger. Why are they here?"

Ariana looked in the direction of the 4th floor, frowned, and finally said, "Let's go and take a look."

It goes without saying that Potter and the others must have encountered a troll. They were screaming so miserably, so they must have been injured.

Draco knew what Ariana meant. He hesitated and said, "Aren't we going to the fourth floor to test the blocking spell for your Killing Curse?"

Now that she had made up her mind, Ariana said bluntly, "If we don't go, and they die, our consciences will be bothered, especially my kind and fragile boyfriend."

Ariana might feel guilty, but she wouldn't keep this guilt in her heart for long. After all, she didn't ask Harry and the others to appear here.

The Gryffindor common room was on the 7th floor, but this was on the 3rd floor, and she remembered clearly that Percy had asked the Gryffindors to go upstairs with him.

It was obvious that Harry and the others had left the team midway.

Draco retorted stubbornly, "I'm not kind, nor am I fragile."

Although he said so, the look on his face when he looked towards the bathroom on the third floor betrayed his inner nervousness.

Ariana didn't expose him, but just smiled and said: "You didn't object, did you?"

Now that they had reached a consensus, the two of them walked towards the bathroom hand in hand.

At this time, the bathroom on the third floor was filled with a pungent odor and some bloody smell.

As soon as Ariana and Draco entered the bathroom, they found that Ron had been knocked to the ground by the troll, with some blood coming out of his mouth.

Harry was on the troll's back, being tossed around by it as he tried to stop it from moving towards Hermione, and the troll had a wand stuck in its nostril.

Hermione, who was hiding in the corner, kept screaming. She didn't have a wand in her hand. She must have come to the bathroom without bringing her wand.

Ron's wand was in his own hand, but the wand in the troll's nostril was clearly Harry's.
