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

"It turns out that Colin went to help Malfoy score a goal. Slytherin is now leading by 160 points. Even if Potter catches the golden ball now, Gryffindor will still lose." Someone immediately commented on Ariana's behavior.

The game had not yet ended, and Gryffindor was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. Everyone was still staring at Harry's movements, hoping that he could perform a miracle.

"Porter caught up with the golden flying ball, but he didn't catch it. He must have wanted to wait for the team to score two more goals, otherwise there would be no point in catching it now."

But then someone said, "Colin has already caught up with him. It seems he's planning to end the game."

The situation was already very unfavorable for Gryffindor, but unexpectedly it could become even more unfavorable.

Then Lee Jordan mechanically shouted, "Ten points to Slytherin."

He couldn't get angry anymore, it could be said that he was too angry.

The Gryffindor students shouted in despair: "Slytherin is already 170 points ahead."

With such a huge lead, Draco and his team had basically completed their mission. It was now Ariana's turn. Without any further ado, she rushed directly towards Harry.

There is obviously not enough time to calculate the running trajectory now, so I can only rely on speed and luck.

Harry saw Ariana coming at him and anxiously shouted to George and Fred, "George, Fred, attack Colin, don't let her catch the ball."

Chapter 207 Don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous?

George and Fred both understood what Harry meant. Now the only way for Gryffindor to win was to prevent Ariana from catching the golden ball so that the game could continue.

Buy time for the team's chasers to score a few more goals to tie the score, otherwise catching the golden ball now will also mean a loss.

But the two of them hit the ball several times but failed to stop Ariana from moving forward. Looking at the opponent who was getting closer and closer, Harry's forehead was covered with cold sweat in the middle of winter.

Harry actually wanted to say a few words to slow down Ariana, but they had clashed several times, and he knew very well that Ariana was a person with a very strong will, and it seemed that nothing could affect her.

If Malfoy became the Seeker, he could say something provocative, and perhaps this plan would work.

Not only was Harry's mentality a little broken, but the other Gryffindor members were even more broken, and it was immediately reflected on the field, resulting in frequent mistakes and giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

"Ten points for Slytherin."

"Ten points for Slytherin."

Listening to Li Jordan's voice, Harry finally made a choice and flew towards the golden flying ball desperately.

Ariana's speed was not slow either, and then the two of them chased at high speed.

Seeing the two Seekers almost leaving their shadows, the Ravenclaw student excitedly asked, "Who do you think will get the Golden Ball?"

"I think it's Colin. She's very fast right now, probably reaching the limit of Nimbus 2000. But Potter is still a little hesitant, and her speed isn't as fast as Colin's."

Originally, Harry was in front, but Ariana was obviously faster and the two were getting closer and closer.

Harry looked back and finally gave up the little hope in his heart. He no longer prayed for his team to score and flew desperately towards the golden flying ball.

Seeing this, the Gryffindor students shouted anxiously: "Look! Potter is already speeding up as fast as he can."

Looking at Ariana who was almost level with him, Harry's eyes were determined and he shouted loudly: "Colin, I will never let you catch the golden flying ball."

No matter it was a duel or a Quidditch match, Ariana had no habit of talking nonsense in a duel. She just glanced at Harry casually, without slowing down for a second.

The golden flying ball was almost within the reach of both of them. Harry knew that the other party was faster than him. If that was the case, the golden flying ball must have belonged to Ariana.

After all, Harry was a brave and fearless Gryffindor, and he was decisive enough. Before Ariana could reach out, he jumped off the broom and caught the golden ball.

Looking at Harry's behavior, Ariana raised an eyebrow slightly and commented speechlessly: "He really is risking his life? This is 20 meters high."

There is absolutely no possibility of becoming disabled if you fall from this height; the only outcome is a broken neck.

Any magic has a distance limit. In Harry's position, if Ariana doesn't save her, Dumbledore can't save her at the game.

Even if they did not grow up in a society ruled by law, there was no deep hatred between the two of them, and Ariana certainly would not stand by and watch him die.

Ariana flew towards Harry without hesitation, and when she got close enough she used a silencing spell to slow down Harry's fall, then when he was 3 meters off the ground, she grabbed his clothes.

Li Jordan shouted excitedly: "Harry Potter caught the golden ball, Gryffindor gets 150 points."

This shout immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Slytherins. Finally, Professor Hooch stood up and announced: "Slytherin won this competition."

There was immediately enthusiastic shouting, applause, and of course, discussions at the scene.

"This game was so exciting. Gryffindor caught the golden ball, but it was Slytherin who won the game."

"Colin was obviously faster just now. If Potter hadn't jumped off his broom and caught the golden ball, these 150 points would still belong to Slytherin."

"Colin is so kind! Potter stole her golden flying ball, yet you were so generous as to come to her rescue."

"They were flying so high at the time that the professor couldn't have used a spell. If Colin hadn't saved him, Potter would have definitely broken his neck."

"No, look, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape have already run down to the stadium. Even if Colin didn't save the Savior, the professors would still be able to cast a spell from that distance."

"It's understandable that Headmaster Dumbledore is concerned about the Savior, but I didn't expect Professor Snape, who has always been targeting Potter, to be so nervous."

"He's a professor after all? Isn't it normal to protect the students' safety?"

When the abnormal Snape saw Ariana save Harry, he immediately floated away like a big bat, ignoring Dumbledore who wanted to talk to him.

Putting Harry on the ground, Ariana said calmly: "Potter, you owe me two lives, plus your two good friends, that's four lives. If you can convince Dumbledore to lend me the Philosopher's Stone for research, then we'll be even."

She was a little disappointed that she didn't catch the golden flying ball. If she could exchange a few life-saving graces for the magic stone, it would not be a loss.

Harry finally understood what Ariana meant after he recovered. He frowned and said firmly, "The Philosopher's Stone is not mine. I can't make such a decision."

Ron kept saying that Ariana must want the Philosopher's Stone. Even the last time she and Draco appeared in the bathroom on the third floor, they were believed to be going to the fourth floor to steal.

But there was no evidence to prove that she wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone. In addition, Hermione analyzed many reasons and said bluntly that it was impossible for Ariana to steal.

Now Harry had evidence that Ariana really wanted the Philosopher's Stone, and Hermione was right, she couldn't steal it, but she could ask for it openly.

Hearing Harry's words, Ariana laughed sarcastically and said indifferently: "I won't accept any other deal except the Philosopher's Stone. You can tell this to Dumbledore. It's up to him to decide whether he is willing or not."

Anyway, this was just a condition that came to her mind suddenly and would not affect the moral kidnapping plan she and Draco had discussed.

Harry frowned and said, "I won't tell you, and I can't give you the Philosopher's Stone."

This is something important to Dumbledore, how could he give it to Slytherin?

Hearing this answer, Ariana looked at him speechlessly, then said sarcastically, "If you don't want to tell me, I can consider it a waste of my life saving you, but you are so self-righteous in deciding whether to lend me the Philosopher's Stone? Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"

This savior is really only from Gryffindor.

Dumbledore had already gone down to the stadium and soon walked over to Ariana and Harry, so he naturally heard their conversation.

Chapter 208 I have never seen someone become ungrateful so quickly

Dumbledore came up from behind Harry. Even though he couldn't see Harry's front, he could guess from his tense posture that he must be feeling uneasy when facing Ariana's questioning.

To avoid a conflict between the two, Dumbledore spoke first, his voice gentle but with unquestionable authority.

"Harry, I think Ariana is right. This Philosopher's Stone was placed with me by someone else. I should discuss with its owner and decide what to do with it."

When Harry heard Dumbledore's voice, he immediately turned around. He looked very nervous just now, but when he saw Dumbledore, he instantly showed a relaxed smile. It was obvious that Dumbledore's arrival gave him great confidence.

Harry moved a little closer to Dumbledore and whispered anxiously, "But the Philosopher's Stone is a very important thing, and Colin is a Slytherin after all."

In fact, Harry and Ron have always suspected that Snape wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and Ariana, whose relationship with Snape had eased, naturally became an accomplice in their eyes.

All I can say is that Ron's constant mumbling about the evil Slytherins in Harry's ear did work.

Although the voice was small, lovely Lianna could still hear it clearly. The next moment, Harry found that he could not speak.

It was obvious that he was under a spell.

Ariana sneered and mocked, "I've seen ungrateful people before, but I've never seen anyone become ungrateful so quickly. It hasn't even been 10 minutes since I saved you, and you're almost calling me the evil Slytherin like Weasley did. Do you remember when you asked me not to call you the great Gryffindor savior?"

Being cursed, Harry naturally couldn't utter a word.

Dumbledore waved his wand to no avail, realizing immediately that Ariana had modified the spell.

He didn't make the same mistake as before and didn't blame Ariana. Instead, he looked at Harry disapprovingly, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"Harry, I want to make one thing clear to you. It's wrong to think that Slytherin is evil. You shouldn't let one statement influence your judgment. I think Miss Granger is a very fair person. You can listen to her opinions more often." He persuaded patiently.

Dumbledore was naturally extremely concerned about Harry's growth, and he was relieved to know that he and Hermione had become good friends.

The Weasley family's youngest son's prejudice against Slytherin is too deep. If he is the only one who influences Harry, the savior will become a very paranoid person.

Harry blushed a little as he was unable to speak, and lowered his head in shame.

Dumbledore said helplessly to Ariana, "I believe Harry has realized his mistake, Ariana. I think you can remove the curse for him and let him reunite with his teammates."

Ariana smiled and said sarcastically, "It is indeed necessary to remove the curse, otherwise he will never be able to speak in his life, especially not say words like evil Slytherin."

After saying that, she raised her hand to remove the curse from Harry. After all, this spell included a curse program and a secret key to remove the curse. Even Dumbledore could not break it in a short time.

After the curse was lifted, Harry was able to speak. Seeing that Dumbledore didn't say anything, he could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I will listen to Hermione's opinions more in the future."

Dumbledore's words still have a higher priority than Ron's. Harry said this in the direction of Ariana.

Ariana was impressed that he could apologize even after being cursed. She could only say lightly, "I hope your apology won't be as cheap as Weasley's."

Maybe this is why Dumbledore likes Harry. If it were Ariana, she would argue with him even if she couldn't win.

Watching the conversation between the two young wizards, Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Now go and meet up with your teammates. Although Gryffindor didn't win this game, you scored 150 points for the team. You must know that Quidditch competitions still depend on the total points. You still have a chance to win the final championship."

Confidence returned to Harry's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll be leaving first, Professor Dumbledore."

After Harry left, Ariana said calmly, "If the principal has nothing else to say, then I'll be leaving first. After all, we won this game, and we have a better chance of winning the championship. My teammates are probably waiting for me to celebrate."

The only topic between the two of them was the Philosopher's Stone. Judging from the old man's attitude, he probably wouldn't easily lend the Philosopher's Stone to him for research.

Dumbledore stopped Ariana, a hint of honesty in his eyes, and said, "Ariana, I think we can talk alone about why I can't lend you the Philosopher's Stone. I won't hide it from you like I did before. No matter what you want to know, I will tell you, okay?"

He knew that the only thing Ariana wanted from him was the Philosopher's Stone, and this might be an opportunity for them to ease their relationship.

Ariana looked at Dumbledore doubtfully, a little disbelieving him, and then said maliciously, "Perhaps you would like to come to the Slytherin common room and talk to me?"

Hearing this request, Dumbledore smiled heartily and said, "I don't mind at all."

As the headmaster of Hogwarts, he naturally had access to the Slytherin common room, although he had never been there.

Imagining that scene for a moment, Ariana couldn't help but get goosebumps.

She immediately shook her head and said, "Forget it, then. I don't want my Slytherin classmates to see the Gryffindor headmaster and feel uncomfortable. Whenever you have time, please send someone to tell me. We can talk anywhere except your office."

Not only would the Slytherins be annoyed by the Gryffindor headmaster entering their common room, Ariana herself would be quite annoyed as well.

Dumbledore smiled helplessly at this and jokingly said, "It seems you have to keep your promise and never set foot in my office again."

He was just about to invite Ariana to his office to talk anytime.

Ariana raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a wicked smile: "When I become the headmaster of Hogwarts, maybe I will enter the headmaster's office again."

This was of course a joke from Ariana. After all, she was still very determined to immigrate to the United States. Even if she wanted to be the principal of a magic school, she would compete for Ilvermorny in the United States.

Dumbledore was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled jokingly and said, "If you are determined to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, I believe Phoenix will be very happy."

He only mentioned Phoenix Black's attitude but did not mention his own.

Chapter 209 Infected by His Excitement

Ariana could certainly hear the subtle hint in the other person's words. She bowed slightly and said, "Regarding the Philosopher's Stone, I'll wait for news from the principal. I'll go meet up with my teammates first."

As soon as he reached the team, Draco rushed over excitedly like a happy little deer, picked up Ariana and spun her around.

Draco's face flushed with excitement as he shouted, "Ariana, we won. We really won, and we even achieved a 150-point lead."

Draco was not very confident, especially before the game started, Ariana said that she was not absolutely sure that she could grab the golden ball.

Draco had been nervous from the start of the match until he won it, even before he met Ariana. Now that he had finally let go of his anxiety, his excitement immediately burst out.

Ariana didn't feel very happy about winning the game, but she was infected by his excitement and couldn't help but compliment him.

"You played really well, especially at the end, when you used so many feints that caught the Gryffindor players off guard and scored so many goals." She said with a smile.

Although it was a compliment, it was also true. After all, the victory of this game depended entirely on the scores of the three chasers.

Draco put Ariana down and raised his chin proudly. "It's not just our credit, but yours as well. During that last period, Gryffindor was shocked by your extreme speed, which led to frequent mistakes. That's why we were able to work together to score so many points."

Speaking of the Golden Ball, Ariana said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't dare to jump over the broom to catch the Golden Ball like Potter did, otherwise we could have scored 150 more points."

After all, the Quidditch game still depends on the final total points. If she can catch the golden ball, Slytherin can add another 150 points.

Draco heard Ariana's words and quickly objected, "Don't do that. Even if you lose the game, you can't jump off the broom like Potter did. He won't be able to save you."

Although Dumbledore and Snape ran to the bottom of the stadium to wait for rescue, it is an indisputable fact that it was Ariana who rescued Harry in the end.
