Her current magic power can generate lightning with just a little effort, and she can also cast healing magic on others. She probably wants to kill that person.

"Okay, you convinced me." Ariana felt helpless that she was not good at magic.

Lucius's worries were not unfounded, and the Malfoy family appeared on the headlines of the newspaper the next day.

Not only did they not go to the Parkinsons' Christmas dance, but they weren't having a dance this year.

Although the reason was not reported in the news, it had already spread privately that the heir of the Malfoy family eloped with his girlfriend because the head of the Malfoy family was not satisfied with his girlfriend who grew up in the Muggle world.

Lucius and Narcissa were so angry after reading these reports that they couldn't eat breakfast, but now that their son was in someone else's hands, they wanted to put on a show and there was nothing they could do to quell the rumors.

Ariana didn't subscribe to the wizarding newspaper, but she and Draco still found out about this in the afternoon because Draco received many owl letters.

Ariana looked at the endless stream of fat Scottish chickens, touched her chin, and her eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

"It seems I have to find a way to set up a device to receive letters at a fixed point. Otherwise, the next time an owl delivers a letter in the morning, my staff will all be cursed by the Ministry of Magic."

Draco didn't know how many letters he had received today. He could only say apologetically, "Sorry, it seems Blaise and the others wrote to ask about my absence from the Pansy family's Christmas ball."

Not only Brace and his family, but even the heads of other families wrote to him, probably trying to get information without his parents' knowledge.

Ariana shook her head and smiled at Draco, "Why apologize? This isn't just a letter from you. I have some too, and there might be more in the future. We still need a device to receive the letters. It's not just for my family, the Thompsons should need one too."

After all, he still had to stay in Hogwarts for another seven years, so it would probably be strange for the Thompsons to have owls visiting their house all the time.

Although Ariana didn't receive as many letters as Draco, she actually received quite a few. Almost everyone who could write to her wrote to her.

There was Professor McGonagall, Professor Hooch, and Professor Flitwick, and nearly all the first-year Slytherins, and Farley and all the members of the Duelling Club, and some of the Quidditch players.

Draco flipped through the letters and said helplessly, "They all asked if we eloped. Even if they mentioned something else, they meant the same thing."

Ariana's mind was still on the owl's device for receiving messages. At this moment, she had already thought of a general plan.

"Don't worry about them. Before your father comes to scold us, come with me to set up the formation and figure out how to systematically receive the owl's message."

She was the kind of person who would do something immediately if she thought of something, especially since Draco had received so many letters and there would probably be even more letters from Malfoy Manor.

Draco asked with a puzzled look on his face, "How are you going to research?"

Letters delivered by owls can only be picked up by the recipient, except for house-elves.

Ariana put on a confident smile and asked Draco, "Can I borrow your owl for research?"

Draco looked at Ariana with a hint of worry in his eyes and asked hesitantly, "You don't want to study Owen's brain, do you?"

Ariana was studying the location of magic storage in Snape's office. She did open the heads of animals to observe. Although some experimental animals survived, most of them died.

Owen was a gift Draco received on his 7th birthday. Although Draco didn't use it very often before entering Hogwarts, he still had a deep affection for it after so many years.

Ariana looked at her good friend speechlessly and complained, "What are you thinking? I just want to experiment to find out why the owl gave the letter to the house elf and see if I can find a substitute. Not only do I have to study the Scottish fat chicken, but I also have to get Dobby to cooperate."

Hearing that they were not going to dissect Owen, Draco immediately put on a righteous expression and said with a smile, "We are best friends. Even if you want to dissect Owen, I won't hesitate for a second."

Chapter 274 Uniqueness seems to be the magical attribute

After hearing this, Ariana almost couldn't help rolling her eyes. After being together for so long, doesn't she know the character of this young master?

He said the harshest words and did the softest things. He was a beast like Lou Williams. Just one moment, the other person was baring his teeth at him, but now that the threat was gone, he actually dared to touch him.

Dobby went back to Malfoy Manor to check on Narcissa. It would take a while to study him, so Ariana decided to study Owen first. After all, he was in Lensa Villa now.

Maybe Ariana had a history of teasing owls. After being called over by Draco, Owen looked at the future hostess with vigilance. Fortunately, he did not fly away directly.

Looking at the owl, which was so wary of her, Ariana said helplessly, "It's strange. The owl wasn't very friendly to me from the beginning. I teased it, and the first time it came to deliver the acceptance letter, it even got coffee spilled all over me. And then I even brought it food."

Draco helped to comfort Owen, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Think about the house-elves I described. Why were they willing to serve wizards in the first place?"

The two had talked about this topic before. The first house-elf served a powerful wizard out of admiration for the powerful.

Later, other wizards may have seen that this race was very suitable to be servants, so they captured them and tamed them.

Ariana raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that owls can sense the strength of magic?"

Draco was just guessing and shook his head, saying, "I'm not sure. Owen seems very scared of you. The other owls should be similar. It must be an animal instinct."

House-elves are just intelligent creatures, so it's okay to classify them as animals.

Since they can sense which wizard is powerful, Owl should be able to do so as well, and Ariana is undoubtedly powerful now.

In order to study the location of magic storage, Ariana studied many animals. With the help of Draco, she soon guessed the owl's positioning system.

Ariana tapped her chin lightly and said thoughtfully, "It seems that the recipient is judged based on the magical attributes. Does the school collect the magical attributes of all the young wizards? But how can they know the magical attributes of the young wizards in advance before they enter Hogwarts?"

Hearing Ariana's doubts, Encyclopedia Draco came online and explained, "Hogwarts has an admission book. It's an alchemical item that's said to be able to accurately detect young wizards in Britain. I don't know the specific principle behind it."

Draco didn't have this concept before, but after spending a long time with Ariana, he got used to the fact that any magical principle could be analyzed using numerical values.

The admission book can sense the little wizard's magic power, so isn't that equivalent to obtaining the little wizard's magic attributes?

Ariana had the same thought. She nodded and said, "It should be to obtain the magical attributes of the young wizard. The Sorting Hat also said that it can sense the attributes of the young wizard, but personality and age can change, and Professor Quirrell said that magical attributes are difficult to change. It seems that the attributes that the Sorting Hat said about the young wizard are actually magical attributes."

Draco looked at his good friend in surprise and asked curiously, "You stayed on the stage for so long on the day of the sorting. Was it to discuss this topic with the sorting hat?"

Of course, there was more to the topic, but Ariana couldn't explain the specific topic to Draco.

She simply admitted, "Yes, and it's not just the Sorting Hat, but also the wands we use. We're all 11 years old, and even if we have similar personalities, the materials of our wands will be different. And it seems that our uniqueness is our magical properties."

There are hundreds of students at Hogwarts and tens of thousands of people in the entire British wizarding world, but Mr. Ollivander said that everyone's wand is different.

Although it is impossible for there to be two people with exactly the same personality in the world, there are still people with similar personalities, but their wands are different.

These questions were too complicated for Draco. He was concerned about the receiving device that Ariana was going to make.

"It seems so. Then can you make a device to receive letters?" he asked curiously.

Ariana smiled confidently and nodded, saying, "Okay, I've already analyzed the value of my magic attribute. Otherwise, go outside the villa and write me a letter and ask Owen to send it to me and see if it will be placed in the mailbox."

Since she wanted to do research, she would definitely study herself first, especially after Ariana's magic attributes changed, her research became more in-depth.

Draco didn't object, but frowned and asked, "But you're right here. Even if the owl identifies the recipient based on the little wizard's magical attributes, Owen would only give the letter to you. How could he put it in the mailbox?"

The reason Draco thought this way was that the house-elves could not receive his letters while he was there.

Ariana replied matter-of-factly, "Just draw a magic circle to temporarily block my magic power."

Draco grumbled speechlessly, "Yeah, anything will do."

Why is Ariana so good at magic? As long as she wants to do something, she can come up with a solution and a chance of success after just a little thought.

Thinking of this, Draco realized that what else could it be? He must have used the brain-blocking technique to perform calculations and deduce the best solution.

Although Draco felt a little helpless about having to study magic in the ordinary world, he could only fully support what his best friend wanted to do.

So he took Owen out of the villa and waited for Ariana's confirmed signal before letting Owen deliver the letter immediately.

After Draco went out, Ariana used the attenuation and diffusion model to set the magic source power, and then drew a magic circle with a curse program on the mailbox to maintain the operation of the two models.

Doing this is equivalent to Ariana's magic being emitted from this mailbox all the time. As long as she blocks her own magic, the owl can only deliver the letter to the mailbox.

After setting up a barrier for herself, Ariana shouted to Draco outside the villa: "You can let Owen deliver the letter."

Not only did Owen fly in by himself, but Draco also ran back.

As Ariana expected, the owl did not hand the letter to her directly, but stood over the mailbox in confusion, and put the letter in after a while.

Seeing the experimental results, Ariana nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now that the problem of delivering the letter has been solved, I will first set up a magic circle around the villa. As for how the house-elves can receive the master's letters, we will study it after Dobby returns."

Draco frowned and said worriedly, "But doesn't your magic array block everyone's magic? Then can Dobby get in?"

Chapter 275: Beware of My Dad First

Ariana had said before that only the magical attributes of the two of them would be noted, which meant that apart from them, no one with magic power could enter, which definitely included house-elves.

Ariana spread her hands and said helplessly: "What should I do? I haven't even verified the value of your magic attribute, but I think your father may come here soon."

Draco hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Then let's be on guard against my dad first. We can occasionally come out and check outside. Dobby probably won't leave until he finds me."

He didn't want to see his father fighting with Ariana again, so separating them was the best solution.

Ariana's lips curled up into a teasing smile as she quipped, "I don't know who said we should be nicer to house-elves. This doesn't seem like it."

Draco wasn't embarrassed at all, and said confidently, "But apart from being nicer to them, it seems there's nothing more we can do."

It's not like he hasn't tried before, but even if he treated Dobby a little better, Dobby would be terrified and even punish himself.

Ariana thought for a moment and said, "It's not convenient at my house. Since we have an owl receiving device, you can ask Dobby to go back to Malfoy Manor when he comes back. If your parents have any problems in the future, just ask them to write to you."

She said this because she thought of one thing: she and Draco had been home for most of the day, but no one thought of solving Dobby's feeding problem, and he kept following them invisibly.

It seems that not only do we ignore other people's food problems, but we even ignore their existence.

Draco was so deeply influenced by Ariana that he agreed without hesitation: "Every world has its own rules. Your staff is very careful. If one more person dine or uses one more room, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

If it was for convenience, it would be appropriate for Dobby to stay in London, after all, neither he nor Ariana could Apparate.

After solving Dobby's problem, Ariana called Draco to her side.

"Start testing your magic data now. You'll need it when we draw the defensive formation later. We can't completely reject wizard visitors, but we don't want anyone to just barge in. Any wizard who bumps into the magic formation will see a message outside the formation saying 'Please contact us in advance by owl.'"

This way, others won't keep attacking the magic circle just to get in.

After listening to Ariana's explanation of the magic circle, although Draco could not understand the mathematical and physical formulas at all, he did understand the final effect.

He looked at Ariana and said excitedly, "If your combination of settings can be popularized, wizards can live in the ordinary world at will."

After all, he comes from a merchant family, and the Malfoy family is a benchmark for aristocratic families, so Draco is sometimes very sensitive.

The magical families often target Muggle-born wizards, not because they hate them, but to maintain their own status, mainly because of the struggle for resources.

Seeing that Ariana was still busy recording the formula of the magic circle, Draco became even more excited, thinking that she agreed with his opinion.

"Is your magic circle and the setting up of receiving letters difficult? I think wizards who want to live in the ordinary world will be very interested in it." He asked again.

Ariana's focus wasn't on Draco at the moment, so she replied nonchalantly, "It's not that difficult."

Hearing Ariana's answer, Draco said helplessly, "How could I have forgotten what problem is difficult for you? Don't you want to build some business in the wizarding world? This kind of business seems quite good."

Hearing about making money, Ariana's attention finally shifted to Draco. She narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and came up with an idea.

"The benefits are indeed more than just making money. It can also expand the living space for wizards. In other words, it can allow wizards to integrate into the ordinary world."

He then confirmed Draco's thoughts and continued, "The Wizarding War is ultimately a battle for resources. It can be said that most wars in the world are caused by this. As long as this problem is solved, many bad habits of wizards should be gradually alleviated."

But things are not that easy.

Before Draco could help refine the idea, Ariana sighed softly and denied it, "Our idea is indeed good, but the Ministry of Magic will never agree. Wizards living in the ordinary world are at a higher risk of exposure. For another thing, the attendance rate of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes may increase significantly, and these are all human costs."

Then she used her family as an example, saying, "My family has a large staff, and my every move is watched by the staff. It's okay to be a little weird, but don't overdo it."

He raised a host of questions, "Ordinary wizards don't need to live in a house as big as mine. They can use magic to do their own chores. How will they earn money? What if the children at home accidentally have a magical outburst? I can only say that this is a good direction, but solving the problems of receiving mail and magic shielding is still not enough."

She and Draco had witnessed with their own eyes a little white-haired boy being bullied. This case was very typical.

The most important thing is that Ariana doesn't have that much power in the magical world, and she doesn't want to go through so much trouble to do such things.

I wanted to change the atmosphere at Hogwarts just to make my life more comfortable while I was there.

If she really wants to change the magical world, she should wait until she goes to the United States and changes the customs there. If nothing unexpected happens, she may have to stay there for the rest of her life.

Draco had only a flash of inspiration and didn't insist that Ariana do this business, so he casually complained, "Not only is there a lot of bad habits in the wizarding world, but the Ministry of Magic is also full of malpractices. Maybe you really should compete to become Minister of Magic."

These were all things Ariana complained about before, but now Draco also shares the same hatred, which shows how powerful Ariana is.

Hearing Draco's words, Ariana smiled and boasted, "When we immigrate to the United States, I will compete for the position of Minister of Magic of the United States."

Draco didn't think Ariana was bragging at all and immediately agreed, "America is bigger than Britain, and the number of wizards there might be more than Britain. You should be more powerful when you manage it."

The two chatted and laughed, and Ariana spent a day drawing the defensive magic circle.

The concentration of magic in the ordinary world is very low, and she also made alchemical items to collect magic.

Even so, this magic circle can only block four to five attacks at most.

Aliana, not very satisfied with this formation, frowned and said helplessly, "It seems that my next research direction should be on magic formations. How can the defense of your magic family castle block countless magic attacks?"

Chapter 276 Make People Feel Comfortable

This was common sense that a good friend told her when she was designing just now. This made Ariana feel that this was her shortcoming, and she decided to go back to school during the holidays and read some books on this subject in the library.

Draco also helped her think of a solution, suggesting, "My house is not easy to get to, and I don't even know where the Blacks are. You'd better study the defensive formations at Hogwarts. It's known as the strongest magic school in Europe, not only because of Dumbledore, but also because of its magical defensive formations."

He already knows Ariana's study habits very well. He wants to experiment with any ideas he has and likes to learn with needs in mind.
