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

After hearing Snape's words, Ariana realized that Professor McGonagall did not mention the teaching problems she had reported.

Snape looked at the angry little wizard in front of him with confusion, not quite understanding her train of thought.

All the students coming to Hogwarts focus on magic, so why is she different from others?

"You're threatening to drop out of school just because there's no private bathroom in the dormitory?" Snape's eyes revealed confusion.

Ariana certainly had no obligation to help Professor McGonagall hide the truth, so she answered bluntly, "It seems that Professor McGonagall hasn't discussed the teaching issues with you yet. Besides the fact that the student dormitories don't have separate bathrooms, I'm also very dissatisfied with your teaching methods."

"Very good. For talking back to the professor and questioning the professor, 20 points will be deducted from Slytherin." Snape was furious and his reason ran away from home.

Ariana looked at him sarcastically and reminded him, "Shouldn't it be 50 points? It would be better to deduct all the points from Slytherin's house."

"You want to drop out of school, so you're acting lawless, right?" Snape asked her coldly.

Ariana bluntly admitted: "Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? You're just threatening to keep an eye on me and deduct those lousy college points. I'm about to drop out of school, so why would I care?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Draco, although panicked, still stepped forward and pulled Ariana's sleeve, trying to calm her down a little.

But he was able to hold on before because Ariana wanted to cooperate with him, but now she is unwilling to cooperate.

Ariana shook off Draco's hand and continued to quarrel with Snape.

The two of them argued more and more fiercely, and in the end they lost all their rationality and drew their wands.

Snape used the "Tongue and Throat Lock" spell on Ariana. This spell makes a person's tongue thick and makes it difficult to speak. He wanted Ariana to shut up immediately.

Unfortunately, Ariana was also very fast. Not only did she block it with the "Armor Charm", she also used "Fire Blaze" on Snape.

The magical clash between the two became more intense, and the Gryffindor students who were still in the classroom ran to find Professor McGonagall.

When Professor McGonagall arrived, she saw Snape using a powerful spell on Ariana, and Ariana was no less powerful, using a vicious curse.

"Stop it!" Professor McGonagall shouted.

But neither of them stopped, instead they became more and more angry. Ariana was a beginner after all, and gradually she couldn't cope with it, so she started to use two "Intestine-pulling Curses".

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall took out her wand and used Transfiguration on the table between the two of them, creating a towering iron wall separating them.

The wall was so high that Ariana and Snape couldn't see each other, so they regained some of their senses.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?" Professor McGonagall looked at everyone at the scene one by one.

"Our genius Miss Colin has only been studying at Hogwarts for a week, and she already knows so many spells, including such dark magic as the Guillotines Curse." Snape complained first.

Ariana sneered and retorted unyieldingly, "Although I don't know what spells Professor Snape used just now, the last one he used was definitely dark magic. I can feel it."

Snape was an adult wizard after all, and was very skilled in silent spellcasting. When fighting against Ariana, he naturally did not recite any spells, but the trajectory of his magic power could not be deceived.

"What I'm asking now is not what magic you used, but why you are fighting?" Professor McGonagall looked at them seriously.

This time, Ariana got the upper hand and said hurriedly, "It was Professor Snape who cast a spell on me first. How do I know he didn't use the Killing Curse? Of course I have to fight back."

When Ariana mentioned the Killing Curse, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and those who were still watching even breathed a little slower.

"Colin, how do you know the Killing Curse?" Professor McGonagall looked at her seriously.

Ariana replied as a matter of course: "Anyone who has read modern history knows that the scar on Harry Potter's head was caused by the Killing Curse."

"If the professor wants to ask me whether I have learned this spell, my answer is no." Ariana looked at Professor McGonagall with very clear eyes.

This made Professor McGonagall unsure whether she was lying, but she did not forget Ariana's attitude towards the Killing Curse.

Although she had never met Tom Riddle, Professor McGonagall could still tell from Dumbledore's description that Voldemort was an excellent student in both character and academics during his time at school, which was why he would not mention the three unforgivable curses at every turn.

All I can say is that Ariana's attitude towards magic is too arrogant.

"So you're still planning on learning the Killing Curse?" Professor McGonagall asked her further.

What others thought was a serious matter was a very small matter to Ariana. She didn't think there was anything wrong with mentioning the Killing Curse.

"Yes, now that this spell has been researched, dark wizards will definitely use it. In order to ensure my own safety, I must also learn it." Ariana said in a firm tone, her eyes serious.

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to convince this sharp little wizard, so she skipped the topic and decided to let Dumbledore worry about it.

"Snape just said that you used the Guillotines Curse. Where did you learn that?" Professor McGonagall continued to ask.

After all, the Room of Requirement is Ariana and Draco's secret base. She definitely doesn't want to expose it if she can.

Ariana explained nonchalantly, "I went to Diagon Alley the other day and found that new books were too expensive at Flourish and Blotts, so I asked where the second-hand store was."

"I bought all my books at second-hand stores. In addition to textbooks, I also bought a lot of unpopular spell books, which contain detailed explanations of the Gut-Ravaging Curse." Ariana answered as a matter of course.

Professor McGonagall felt that if they continued to let things go like this, Hogwarts would probably breed another Dark Lord before the previous one was completely eliminated.

"Send your other books to my office. Practicing spells is very dangerous and is best done under the supervision of a professor." Professor McGonagall looked at her seriously.

If Ariana had intended to be obedient, she wouldn't have made such a fuss.

"Why? I bought it with my own money, and I don't think you'll let me expel you just because I fought Professor Snape," Ariana retorted.

Professor McGonagall suddenly realized and asked tentatively, "Did you argue with Professor Snape because you wanted to drop out of school?"

Ariana shook her head and replied in denial, "Although this wasn't my original intention, I'd be happy if I could drop out."

"I can't handle your problem anymore. Now, come with me to the headmaster's office immediately." Professor McGonagall sighed.

Other students might be scared as hell when they heard they were called to the principal's office, but lovely Lianna was not afraid at all. Instead, she was quite excited.

"Very good. I hope Headmaster Dumbledore can handle my withdrawal." Ariana said with anticipation in her tone.

Snape naturally had to go to the headmaster's office, and Draco, who had been silent the entire time, followed him.

Neither McGonagall nor Snape had any intention of kicking Draco out. They had already seen that Ariana was determined to leave Hogwarts, and they both thought that Draco's presence might play a role.

After Ariana proposed to drop out of school to Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore contacted several school directors and asked them to increase the budget for improving student dormitories.

Their children will definitely go to Hogwarts to study, and the school directors have no objection to improving the student accommodation environment, so the application for an increase in budget has been approved.

Dumbledore had originally planned to talk to Professor McGonagall today about which college to start renovating the dormitories from.

When he saw the person who showed up in his office, he immediately realized that Ariana didn't wait for him to talk to her, but took the initiative to cause trouble and come to him.

Chapter 16: Dumbledore's Open-Mindedness

Dumbledore pulled out a box of candy from a drawer and asked them in a casual tone, "Would you like some cockroaches? I see you're all in a bad mood, and candy is the best medicine to relieve your mood."

Snape sneered and said to Dumbledore with a mocking tone, "No one is in the mood for such horrible and sweet candy right now."

Ariana looked at Professor Snape's stern face and had no intention of greeting Dumbledore. She went straight to the point.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I want to drop out of school. You could have used other excuses to get rid of me before, but now that I've used dark magic, you should let me drop out, right?"

Dumbledore didn't answer Ariana directly. Instead, he looked at Professor McGonagall, smiled slightly, and asked, "I'm really sorry, I'm old and my memory isn't very good. Does Hogwarts have any rules that say you'll be expelled for using the Dark Arts?"

"There is no such rule," Professor McGonagall replied promptly.

Dumbledore's meaning was clear, he didn't want Ariana to drop out of school.

Everyone has witnessed Ariana's performance in class during this period. As an open-minded person, Dumbledore will only be more tolerant of Ariana.

Moreover, Hogwarts has no precedent of expelling students for using dark magic. Even if someone is hurt by using dark magic, they will not be expelled.

Ariana, who was speechless, said unwillingly: "Professor Snape looks like he wants to eat me."

Professor Snape was very dissatisfied with Ariana's recent performance and her behavior today, so he retorted: "Even if I am as fierce as a devil, you don't seem to be afraid of me at all."

"Okay, let's put the issue of dropping out of school aside for now. Miss Colin, can I call you Ariana?" Dumbledore said in a gentle tone, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Ariana was no longer so impulsive, and even though she knew that Dumbledore was softening himself, she did not feel disgusted.

"Of course, Mr. Principal." She nodded.

"A week ago, you asked Professor McGonagall to improve the student accommodation environment. After consultation with the school board, they have agreed to increase funding for improving the environment. I decided to start with Slytherin. What do you think?" Dumbledore's eyes were kind.

"Then each student can have a separate bedroom and bathroom?" Ariana asked.

Dumbledore smiled awkwardly and said, "It depends on the number of students in each college, but I can tell you that Slytherin girls can share a bedroom with a private bathroom."

Ariana curled her lips. There were a total of 9 new students in Slytherin this year, and only 4 of them were girls. Even so, they couldn't have separate bedrooms.

Dumbledore seemed to see what she was thinking and explained, "Roommates are a very valuable kind of friendship during your studies."

Then, he looked at Draco standing in the corner, winked at Ariana, smiled and said, "Of course, close friends don't necessarily happen between roommates. Good friendships can also develop between opposite sexes, right?"

Seeing that Dumbledore was avoiding the main issue, Ariana did not want to fulfill his wish, and she did not forget her purpose of fighting with Snape.

Since using black magic doesn't work, then just mention the teaching method she mentioned before.

"I'm still going to drop out of school," Ariana insisted.

"You are not satisfied with the accommodation environment. We have made improvements. Is there anything else you are not satisfied with about Hogwarts?" Dumbledore asked patiently.

Ariana shrugged, smiled slightly, and asked, "I'm very dissatisfied with Professor Snape's teaching methods. I heard that he has been teaching at Hogwarts for 10 years. Has he studied educational psychology during this time?"

"Hogwarts professors don't need to take educational psychology courses." Dumbledore already knew Ariana's purpose, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone of answer.

Ariana didn't know when to stop, so she continued, "So not only are Hogwarts' accommodations still stuck in the Middle Ages, but even its education methods haven't kept up with the times, right?"

As a professor who loves this magic school, Dumbledore is full of confidence in Hogwarts.

"I think Hogwarts has educated many outstanding wizards. The educational level of our professors should not be criticized by you so much, right?" His tone was calm and his eyes were calm.

No wonder people say that there is a generation gap every three years. Even if Ariana lived to be 20 years old in her previous life, plus the 11 years old in this life, there is still countless generation gap between her and Dumbledore who is over 100 years old.

Ariana laughed sarcastically at this, then shook her head and said, "No, the teaching quality of some professors at Hogwarts is particularly poor. I think it's because you didn't take educational psychology courses."

Dumbledore glanced at Snape and asked cautiously, "Can you give me an example of a professor whose teaching quality is particularly poor?"

Of course Dumbledore knew that Ariana would definitely mention Snape. In fact, he also felt that Snape's teaching method was problematic.

But Dumbledore needed Snape's help, and every time he talked about this topic, he was pushed back. Perhaps through Ariana's mouth, Snape could realize his problem.

As Dumbledore expected, the person Ariana accused was Snape.

"The first one is, of course, Professor Snape. Apart from anything else, Headmaster Dumbledore could do some research. During his years in office, how many wizards have become exceptionally skilled in Potions? How do they compare to previous professors?"

Dumbledore opened his mouth, but could not refute.

Snape's previous Potions professor was Horace Slughorn, whose teaching skills were indeed much better than Snape's.

During Horace Slughorn's tenure, there had indeed been quite a few students with outstanding Potions skills; he could already name several of them.

For example, Snape in front of him, and Tom and Lily who were often mentioned by Horace Slughorn.

Sirius and his brother Regulus Black also seemed to be very good at potions.

During the 10 years that Professor Snape was in office, he really couldn't remember anyone with particularly high Potions skills. It couldn't be that there wasn't a single student with good Potions talent in these 10 years, right?

Looking at the speechless Dumbledore, Ariana glanced at Snape mockingly and continued, "See, the headmaster can't remember any of Professor Snape's outstanding students."

Seeing that Snape was about to lose his temper, Dumbledore hurriedly said to Ariana, "Professor Snape is the best potion master in recent years. The Ministry of Magic is already considering awarding him the Order of Merlin. Apart from him, I can't find any other better potion talent."

Before Ariana could object, he asked again, "Besides Professor Snape, which other professor do you have a problem with?"

Although Dumbledore's way of changing the subject was very abrupt, Ariana didn't mind because in her opinion the topic was not over yet.

"And Professor Quirrell, the stutterer, do I need to enumerate all his shortcomings?"

Hearing Ariana mention Quirrell, Dumbledore felt helpless, because this was Voldemort's spy he had deliberately placed in the school.

"Professor Quirrell should have explained the reason for his stuttering in the first class. I believe he will be able to adjust soon. Give him some time. His graduation results are very impressive. We can't lose such an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, right?" Dumbledore tried to defend Quirrell.

Ariana was speechless at Dumbledore's reply.

"He went on an adventure on his own, encountered a vampire, and was cursed into stuttering. That's the price he deserves. Why should we have to adapt to his stuttering? And why should we waste our time smelling his pungent garlic smell?"

These words can be said to be very harsh, but it is also the truth. No matter what the reason is that Quirrell has become what he is now, students should not be made to bear the cost of his mistakes.

Dumbledore knew why Quirrell was like this, and he was also very clear that his stuttering was intentional.

Looking at the aggressive Ariana, I thought that ordinary reasons would not be able to convince her, so I decided to go talk to Quirrell.

If he couldn't bring some real skills and knowledge to the young wizards, then he would have to consider letting him leave Hogwarts. Voldemort would probably not agree to Quirrell leaving.

"Very well, I will talk to Professor Quirrell and ask him to recover as soon as possible so that you won't waste your time." Dumbledore said in a firm tone, with a serious look in his eyes.

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to want to send her away, Ariana hurriedly asked, "What about Snape's teaching method?"

Chapter 17 Let the Little Monster Teach Me How to Do Things

Before Dumbledore could even glance over, Snape gave a mocking laugh and immediately declared, "I'm not going to let a little troll teach me how to do things."

After saying this, Snape walked towards Ariana, obviously trying to intimidate her.
