Hagrid was surprised when he heard this. "What? You and Harry had a fight? Is he hurt?"

Snape knew that this troublemaker in front of him would only respond to soft words and not hard ones. If Hagrid angered her, there might be another conflict here, so he interrupted their conversation.

"Okay, Hagrid, Potter is protected by Dumbledore, no one can hurt him. I will take Colin to the Forbidden Forest to do a magic experiment." After saying that, he was about to take Ariana into the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was kind after all. Although he was a little bothered by Ariana hitting Harry, he hurried to dissuade her when he heard Snape's words.

"Although Colin is a little naughty, you can't use her for magic experiments, Snape." He also showed a cautious expression.

Snape said unhappily, "Humph, who's using whom for magical experiments?"

After saying that, he ignored Hagrid and took Ariana into the Forbidden Forest. In a place where no one was around, he asked her to teach him how to control Fiendfyre.

When he switched sides from the mysterious man to Dumbledore, although people outside said that it was a very legitimate move, in fact, he did it just for Lily.

Snape himself was still very obsessed with the dark arts. Now that he had the opportunity to learn new spells, he didn't care whether the person teaching him was a thorny little troll.

Ariana's research and development of the Fire Spell is based on the control of flame temperature. It utilizes the Transfiguration Spell, adds transformed gasoline, and controls the gas density of the environment.

She talked about many physics and chemistry formulas, and finally converted them into the total amount of magic power, as well as the area size control of the partitions, and finally output them according to the equation of smooth input of magic power.

Snape said with a dark face: "Do you think I can understand so many messed up mathematical formulas?"

Chapter 46 How Could She Do This?

Ariana has already calculated the final magic output and marked the partition control size on the paper. What else is unclear?

"Why don't you just follow what I said and input the magic power according to the density and total amount of magic power divided by the spell?" She looked at Snape as if it was a matter of course.

Draco still couldn't figure out what the spell zone was, but Snape was an adult wizard, and his obsession with magic far exceeded that of anyone else in Hogwarts. Of course he knew about this kind of area, but it was just a vague feeling.

"The division of the spell can only be vaguely felt. How can it be possible to accurately output the magic power and control the quality, density and range of the magic power according to this formula? Do you think it is possible?" He thought this kid was really a stupid little monster.

Ariana also lost her temper, "But that's how I cast the spell."

Snape sneered at her and said sarcastically, "You're lucky you didn't kill yourself."

Having experienced an early death in a previous life, Ariana cherishes her life very much. How could she possibly do something reckless? Black magic is so dangerous, so of course one must be extremely cautious.

"Once the formula is determined, we can determine whether it is safe through brain occlumency calculations. How could it be dangerous? I cherish my life very much." She looked serious.

In fact, if there were a supercomputer, the calculation would be more accurate, but unfortunately Hogwarts cannot use electrical appliances.

Snape still remembered why Ariana mentioned the Imperius Curse at the opening dinner. Thinking of the little girl's achievements in spells in recent times, he wanted to see how many spells she knew.

"If you want to try the defensive effect of Occlumency, you don't necessarily need the Imperius Curse. Legilimency will also work." He tempted Ariana to think of herself.

The Imperius Curse and Legilimency are both mental magic, one is control and the other is reading.

As someone who had read a lot of history books and magic theories, Ariana certainly knew about Legilimency. Although it was not as evil as the three unforgivable curses, it was also a forbidden spell and she had no place to learn it.

Looking at Snape's meaningful eyes, Ariana immediately understood what he meant and said indifferently: "Come on, let's try the effect of the brain block technique I learned for two months."

Ariana knew that the other party wanted to see her memory and pry into her privacy, but she could tolerate it in order to test her learning results.

Snape was just testing the waters and was prepared for Ariana to be mean to him, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily.

He finally understood why Dumbledore was so patient with Ariana. Although this kid was unruly and had a set of values ​​that were different from those of ordinary people, he was still a blank slate in the magical world and could be shaped by others at will.

"Legitimate." Snape didn't give Ariana any time to prepare and attacked her suddenly.

Ariana could feel a magical power invading her brain, and she knew very well that this feeling was nothing like the legilimency described in the books, and it was difficult to resist at the beginning.

Snape failed to enter Ariana's memory and was trying to break through her memory barrier when the spell was eliminated, which did not fit the situation of being resisted.

"My spell didn't work." He looked shocked.

Ariana was still thinking about her actions, and after three minutes she responded to Snape: "Legitimate Psychic isn't said to be difficult to detect, but I can sense the trajectory of your magic, and then use a counter-spell to eliminate it."

"What do you mean?" Snape had no idea what she was talking about.

"What do you mean?" Ariana looked at him puzzled.

Snape took a deep breath and explained, "Legitimate Psychic can only be resisted by willpower. There is no counter-spell."

Without a pen or paper, Ariana picked up two leaves and transformed them, drawing the magic trajectory she saw for him. Then she used the working memory capacity formula and the reaction time formula, and finally summarized them into a linear regression model.

Seeing the same messy mathematical formulas as before, Snape felt a headache. When he was in school, he didn't even choose Arithmancy and Divination as an elective, and he had never been to a school in the Muggle world. How could he know these things?

He said unhappily, "You're the only one in Hogwarts who can understand this."

Ariana looked regretful upon hearing this, shrugged, and said, "Well, I deduced the counter-curse based on these formulas. I think Hogwarts could use some cultural education."

Snape sneered and said, "When you become the headmaster, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Draco said that the position of Hogwarts headmaster depends on fighting ability. When I become stronger than Dumbledore, can I challenge him to a duel for the position of headmaster?" It is still unknown how long Dumbledore can live, so the possibility of him competing for the position is greater.

"I'm looking forward to that day." Snape smiled rarely.

Looking at Ariana, who was not so harsh towards him, Snape wanted to give her some advice, but his tone was still very bad.

"The Malfoy family's situation in the wizarding world is very complicated. If you just want a parent who supports you in the wizarding world, their family is not very suitable." He did not explain the cause and effect.

How could Ariana possibly accept such a suggestion? She looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Professor, are you saying that you are a good fit?"

Snape was self-aware. He certainly wasn't suitable, but he was a hundred times better than the Malfoys. "At least I'm neutral. I won't put you in a dilemma when we split into camps in the future."

The Dark Mark on her arm has not disappeared, and the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is still running. The Dark Lord cannot be dead. When he returns, everyone will have to choose a camp, and Ariana is no exception.

This kid has such a strong magical talent that she may determine the direction of the situation in the future. It is best to take precautions now and not let her get too close to the Death Eaters.

Ariana was a little speechless after hearing this, and said to him, "Professor, I have to remind you that from the moment the young wizard enters Hogwarts and puts on the Sorting Hat to be sorted into the new house, no one is neutral anymore."

Snape snorted coldly and commented on her: "Stupid little troll, you know nothing."

Ariana didn't like what she heard. She asked Snape a question, "Professor, everyone in our class has high praise for Potter, but Draco doesn't have a very good reputation. Why do I have the best relationship with him?"

Although everyone likes Harry because of his title as the savior, this does not rule out the fact that Harry is also a kind child who is gentle to everyone.

On the other hand, Draco is not much different from a real naughty kid, and is disliked by everyone.

"Because he's stupid." Snape sneered.

Ariana ignored Snape's comments about Draco and explained, "Although he's arrogant and domineering all the time, he's the first person in the wizarding world to reach out to me. If I don't understand something, he's always willing to help me. I often dislike his cowardice, but he never gets angry."

Snape's mood immediately turned bad because he thought of the past between him and Lily. He had a bad image and a bad temper, but Lily always tolerated him.

"You two really complement each other, but I want to tell you, Draco may be naive, but his father will never let you abduct his only heir." Although he no longer laughed at Ariana for being attracted to Draco's stupidity, he didn't have anything good to say.

When this was mentioned, Ariana immediately complained: "Didn't Mr. Malfoy threaten Draco to have a brother to replace him? After Draco came to me, they could have another one."

After deeply understanding Draco's character, Snape could conclude that his godson would never become the second Lucius.

"Draco's stupidity has been fully demonstrated during this period. He believes everything others say. Lucius and Narcissa want to hold him in their mouths. Will they be willing to kick him out of the house?" He said with a sarcastic look on his face.

However, Ariana felt that Draco did nothing wrong. He was just a grown-up child and behaved the way the adults taught him.

"That's because Mr. Malfoy's education has failed. He knows his son is naive, yet he scares him all the time. No wonder he's so timid." She admitted that she favored her friends, but who in the world isn't partial?

Chapter 47 He asked me to break up with you

When they returned to the lounge, Draco was already sitting on the sofa, but his face was flushed and he was breathing heavily, obviously having just had an argument.

"I'm here to hold up the sky even if it falls. What does your dad say?" Ariana sat over and patted his shoulder.

"My dad said he was very disappointed in me. I've only been at school for less than two weeks and I've already learned to lie." Draco was angry with a hint of fear.

Ariana scoffed at this accusation. She comforted Draco, "Hasn't he ever lied in his life? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

"He asked me to break up with you." Draco didn't confess to his father that he and Ariana were just pretending to be together.

This result surprised Ariana. After all, Dumbledore and Snape were so opposed to it, so Malfoy, as a member of the opposing camp, should have agreed.

"He doesn't want to form an alliance with a powerful wizard?" Her face was full of question marks.

Ever since Ariana analyzed the pros and cons of the two of them being together and his father's reaction, Draco was convinced. He was also very surprised by his father's attitude.

"I told him your analysis, and he agreed with it at first. But then he hesitated for some reason and asked me to break up with you. I didn't agree, and then he told me that he would no longer give me pocket money." He looked angry.

Draco spent all day studying magic with Ariana and had no time to use Owl for shopping, so when school started, he still had more than 50 Galleons left from the pocket money his mother gave him.

What he was worried about was not the lack of pocket money, but the fear that other pure-blood families would know about this and it would affect his status in Slytherin.

Ariana didn't know that Draco's thoughts had already involved the family's interests, and she teased him, "Well, even in the wizarding world, if you want children to be obedient, you will use pocket money to threaten them."

"Didn't I tell you? I would take you in even if you were kicked out of the house, not to mention just cutting off your pocket money." She reminded Draco.

Seeing that Ariana didn't know this common sense, Draco could only patiently explain it to her as before.

"I'll tell him that if I buy your villa, I'll break up with you. That way you don't have to worry about your parents running out of Galleons in their coffers. We're not together anyway, so we can just announce our breakup when the time comes." He thought this was a very good suggestion.

If it were in the past, he would definitely submit to his father, but after being "brainwashed" by Ariana frequently during this period of time, he now has unlimited courage and of course dares to resist his father.

"Do you think my dad really treats me like a puppy? He promised me a condition, and it's normal for me to agree to his condition, but he said he would just deduct my pocket money if I didn't obey." He was so angry that he forgot about the science popularization while talking.

Ariana couldn't bear to see Draco in such a negative mood. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "I have a way to make him agree to you. Do you want to hear it?"

Draco misunderstood what he heard, thinking that Ariana was going to use her wand to persuade his father. After all, they had been father and son for many years, and even if there were some disagreements for a while, he didn't want his father to get hurt, or even lose face by being suppressed by Ariana's magic.

"He is my father after all. You don't want to use Lihuo to force him, do you?" He looked at Ariana hesitantly.

Hearing what Draco meant, Ariana looked at him speechlessly and complained, "Am I the kind of person who would pull out my wand to overpower others at every turn?"

Draco really wanted to say "You are", but Ariana was his best friend after all, so it was better not to say some things that would hurt her feelings.

"Tell me your method quickly." he urged.

Ariana knew Draco was trying to change the subject, but she didn't care. She obediently changed the subject and asked, "Who's the leader in your parents' relationship, your dad or your mom?"

Draco thought carefully about his parents' relationship and replied, "My dad makes most of the decisions. If my mom makes an opinion, he listens to her."

"That's good. Write a separate letter to your mother and ask her if your parents raised you like a puppy, throwing it out to wander if it doesn't behave. Or, if you're just dating someone and not getting married, why does your father treat you like this? Then threaten your mother that if your father doesn't apologize, you'll never go back." This was a plan of making cards out of thin air that Ariana came up with.

Draco, however, was not influenced by this kind of thinking. He had no idea and asked in surprise, "Ah? So I really won't go home?"

"Your godfather said you were an innocent kid who believed everything others said. Your dad's promise to have another child with your mom was obviously a scare tactic, but you believed it for so many years." She looked at Draco speechlessly.

Hearing Ariana complain about him again, Draco asked unhappily: "Huh, what does this have to do with me not going home?"

Seeing that Draco still didn't understand, Ariana could only put it more bluntly.

"Your godfather has already said that your parents care about you very much. Your father is a man, so he might be a little hard-hearted, but your mother is a woman, so she's definitely soft-hearted. Seeing that you're not going home, she'll definitely pressure your father into apologizing to you. Maybe she can even buy you a villa."

She wanted to take Draco in in the future, so she couldn't just have pounds. If she could really make this deal, she would be a wealthy person no matter which world she was in.

It's a pity that Gringotts doesn't use a computer system, otherwise she would definitely hack into it to "borrow" some money and open an account for herself, and the lie she told Draco would come true.

"Will this work?" Draco hesitated.

Ariana provoked, "You have to let your father see your firm attitude, otherwise he will really treat you like a puppy. Do you want that?"

Even the mild-tempered Harry didn't want to be treated like a puppy by his uncle, so how could a proud man like Draco agree to that?

"Okay, since he's threatened me, I'll threaten him too. But I only have a little over 50 Galleons, and my mom might not send me candy for a while, so I have to save some money." He was already considering the consequences of this matter.

This little thing was not a problem for Ariana. She promised, "I have a lot of candies in my dorm. I'll give them all to you. I don't like them."

"Why did you bring so much candy if you don't like it?" Draco looked at her in confusion.

Ariana got angry when this was mentioned. She complained, "Mr. Ollivander said that little wizards love to eat candy. I bought it to make friends, but Pansy and the others refused to eat it when they saw the Muggle label."

Not only do Slytherins not eat candy from the Muggle world, as if to appear superior, but pure-blood wizards from other colleges also don't eat it, making it difficult for half-blood and Muggle-born wizards to bring out Muggle things.

Mr. Ollivander must have known about this situation, and he happily asked Ariana to bring more Muggle candy to Hogwarts. In addition to this, she also owed him 2 Galleons because her wand was 10 Galleons.

As a pure-blood wizard, Draco certainly didn't want to stand out. However, thinking that he had no candy to eat, after a little thought, he said to Ariana, "Don't let others know that I eat Muggle candy. Blaise and the others will look down on me."

Ariana didn't have the patience to correct his views, and just said: "For the sake of a great victory, it's okay to feel uncomfortable for a while."

"Okay." Draco agreed.

Ariana had already learned the spell to make the candies bigger and smaller. She shrunk all the candies and brought them to the Room of Requirement. Draco looked disgusted before he ate them, but after eating them, he found they were really delicious.

Chapter 48 Who is not a little princess?

"Wow, Muggle candy is delicious too." Draco couldn't help but praise.

Ariana shrugged. "I'm saying that the wizarding world's perspective is still stuck in the Middle Ages. Back then, people traveled by horse-drawn carriages, but now they travel by car and plane. We can't look at Muggles today with the same perspective we used in the past."

If there is a chance, Ariana still wants to correct Draco's perspective. After all, they have been together for seven years.

Looking at the various candies and chocolates in the suitcase, Draco stroked his chin and said, "As long as you tear off the labels on these candies, you won't know whether they are made in the wizarding world or bought in the Muggle world. If my parents don't compromise, I'll tear off the labels on the candies and let others think they are from my mom. Then no one will know that I have a falling out with my family."
