However, Ariana didn't say this in the end. After all, the young master still cares a lot about his reputation.

Ariana shook her head and said, "This method is quite dangerous. If you're not careful, you could absorb the magical power of the magical creatures beyond their capacity, and then they might turn into ordinary animals."

If a wizard exceeds the load, he will become a Squib. If a magical beast exceeds this load value, it should become an ordinary animal, right? She is not sure.

Draco immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to hurt the dragon."

Not only did he not want to hurt Long, it could be said that he didn't want to hurt anyone. At most, he would just yell at them and play some pranks.

It is quite complicated to subdue these three-headed dogs. To be on the safe side, Ariana drew three bottles of blood. After all, these three-headed dogs are so big that such a small amount of blood is just a drop in the bucket for them, so they should not suffer from anemia.

"I'm done drawing. You can cast a healing spell on it later, and I'll cast another spell to quickly restore its magic power. It will only take three hours for it to recover its magic resistance." After she said that, she started to pack up.

Ariana doesn't plan to lift this curse that restores magic power, so that Lou Williams can always be in top shape.

This should increase its combat power a bit, making it more difficult for Professor Quirrell who wants to break through.

Draco asked, "What if Professor Quirrell comes to steal the Philosopher's Stone during this time?"

He did not forget Ariana's analysis that Quirrell's target was Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Ariana felt that Draco's worry was reasonable, and after thinking about it for a while, she came up with an idea.

"I'm casting another curse. If it's in an abnormal state, I'll be able to sense it immediately. Then we can come here immediately and catch Professor Quirrell in the act."

Draco no longer wanted to comment on Ariana's application of magic. It was really like a three-month-old baby drinking milk. Whatever she thought of, she had a specific implementation plan, and he could really make her do it.

At this time, all you need to do is agree with her.

"This curse is good. Before, we just said that we would keep an eye on Potter's whereabouts, but what if the You-Know-Who only wants the Philosopher's Stone? We can't always send people to guard here."

After packing up her things, Ariana said to Draco, "Okay, let's go."

The two had already returned from the Room of Requirement with their belongings, and after taking their blood, they went directly to Snape's office.

Ariana needed something to preserve the three-headed dog's blood and some research equipment, so she went to Snape to ask for it.

Snape frowned when he saw the list Ariana handed over.

"What kind of blood are you going to study?" he asked doubtfully.

Hasn't this kid already determined where magic power is stored? Why is he still researching blood?

Ariana said to Snape admiringly, "You are indeed a Potions Master. Just based on these instruments, you know I want to study blood. I want to study the blood of the three-headed dog on the fourth floor."

She didn't intend to hide it. After all, Snape would also participate in her experiment, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

Snape immediately asked, "Why did you go to the fourth floor?"

That was the trap Dumbledore set for Quirrell. Could it be that this kid was just curious and wanted to see the Philosopher's Stone?

As for his godson, there is no need to ask, he will go wherever Ariana goes.

The heir of the Malfoy family has now become a clingy person. He is too embarrassed to tell Lucius about it.

Ariana explained calmly, "When I went to the eighth floor to get something, I happened to see Potter and the others checking to see if the three-headed dog had been attacked. I went to Hagrid to ask him for some of the three-headed dog's blood."

The implication is that he just wanted to take some blood and had no intention of exploring the Philosopher's Stone.

When Snape heard about Harry's whereabouts, he immediately gave up questioning Ariana. Just like in the first class, all he had in mind was deducting points from Harry.

Even though Snape stopped deducting points arbitrarily after Ariana complained, he still disliked Harry.

"I think he has been blinded by the title of savior and doesn't know his own worth. He still worries about the Philosopher's Stone." He sneered viciously.

At first, Ariana didn't know Snape's character and was not used to his bullying behavior, but now she has become accustomed to it.

Human adaptability is indeed very strong.

Ariana knew that Snape had just asked her about her intention in going to the fourth floor, and she was indeed quite interested in the Philosopher's Stone.

"Professor, can you help me borrow the Philosopher's Stone from Dumbledore so I can study it?" she asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Snape agreed easily: "Sure!"

"Really?" Ariana looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Snape's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a mocking tone, "He's trying every possible way to set a trap for you and make you obedient. If he knew you were interested in the Philosopher's Stone, he would be happy to lend it to you for research."

Chapter 153 I’m afraid I’m going to open a new school

Isn't this what Dumbledore is best at? He has to give some favors to people before controlling them.

Simple-minded people are quite susceptible to his tricks, such as the reckless and impulsive Gryffindors.

Smart people will not be satisfied with small favors, especially Slytherins. In their view, any favor is valuable, and no matter how big the favor is, it is not enough to make them go through fire and water for it.

Ariana thought for a moment, touched her chin and said, "He seemed to want me to stand on Porter's side, but I really can't get along with Porter's personality."

It might be because of his image, or it might be because Harry was the one favored by Dumbledore. Even though Ariana promised Harry not to mention the great savior anymore, she still couldn't like him.

Maybe this is what she told Draco, that they have different views.

Snape had long figured out how to get along with Ariana, so he couldn't go against this brat, even if he had to contradict her.

"If you want to borrow it, just tell me and I'll help you borrow it. You owe him a favor anyway." Snape said lightly.

Present the facts and reason with him, and this kid will know what the right choice is.

After the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse, Ariana knew that Professor Snape asked her to do everything openly and honestly and try not to be caught by Dumbledore.

Lest she

Unable to grow up, although the other party was considering Slytherin, Ariana still had to appreciate it.

As Snape expected, after hearing his words, Ariana gave up the idea of ​​borrowing the Philosopher's Stone.

But she was also very interested in the Philosopher's Stone. After all, Nicolas Flamel had relied on it to survive for more than 600 years, and the operating procedures of this magical alchemical item must be very interesting.

"So, this Philosopher's Stone really can't be borrowed." Ariana nodded.

Snape reminded her, "Dumbledore has set up a tight net, so don't try to steal with any luck."

Ariana complained speechlessly: "Am I such a low character in the professor's eyes that I would steal things?"

Snape snorted coldly, "I'm just reminding you not to give Dumbledore any leverage over you. If the Philosopher's Stone is lost, you're one of the people at Hogwarts who can steal it."

There are now three forces in Hogwarts, Dumbledore's faction and Voldemort's faction.

Although Snape didn't want to admit it, the little brat in front of him was indeed a person of her own. After all, she was not very close to either side.

Ariana thought that since the Philosopher's Stone could not be borrowed now, it did not mean that it could not be borrowed after the mysterious man was defeated.

Since they are going to experiment with the blocking spell, Ariana will definitely deal with Quirrell, and Professor Quirrell will take action against Harry and the Philosopher's Stone.

If she stopped it, could she borrow the Philosopher's Stone in exchange for that favor? That way, she wouldn't owe Dumbledore anything.

After coming up with a plan, Ariana calmly said, "Forget it."

If Ariana gave up with some hesitation, Snape could still believe that she had really given up. But now that he saw her accept it so easily, the alarm immediately sounded in his heart.

"You'd better inform me of any action you take, otherwise I won't be able to help you ease the situation with Dumbledore." He frowned at the brat.

"I didn't take any action." Ariana didn't intend to tell the Black Bat her plan.

Snape could see that the little devil was obviously hiding something from him. Unable to torture him, he could only sneer and comment, "Stupid little troll."

If it weren't for Professor Nap's help, Ariana would have wanted to mock him.

After two days of research, Ariana discovered that there was magic in the three-headed dog's blood from the beginning.

But the magic power was gradually dissipating. She even drew her own blood for comparison. Although the dissipation speeds of the two were different, they both showed a trend of dissipating.

Snape was also in the laboratory at this time.

Ariana asked him doubtfully, "So this is why the magic family concluded that magic power is stored in the blood, but blood will dissipate once it leaves the human body."

Having never conducted research in this area before, Snape was quite shocked by the results of his research on Ariana. He didn't expect that there really was magic in the blood.

It's no wonder that those magical families are so determined, but as Ariana said, 70% of the outstanding graduates of Hogwarts are Muggles and half-bloods.

How to explain this?

Snape said calmly, "Then you can't deny that blood is indeed magical."

Ariana connected this to Professor Quirrell's conjecture that magic power is stored in the brain.

After her research over this period of time, she has basically confirmed that magic is a special form of energy. If it is really stored in the brain's neural network, it should be located in an area of ​​the frontal lobe or parietal lobe.

This area should be closely related to human will, emotions and magical abilities.

As for the magic power in the blood, it should interact with the quantum state in the brain to form a stable form of energy storage.

This can also explain why magic can exist in an immaterial form. Blood should be the energy carrier of magic.

Blood circulates in the human body, carrying oxygen and nutrients, and naturally it can also carry magic power. The magic power in these two positions should exist in a dynamic balance.

When the magic power in the brain is consumed, the magic power in the blood can be replenished. Conversely, when the magic power in the blood is insufficient, the magic power in the brain can be released.

Moreover, this argument can also be verified in curses, because many curses use blood as a medium, and there are corresponding cases in magic circles.

The magic family said that magic power is stored in the blood, which is actually not wrong. It’s just that without the balancing effect of the magic power in the brain, the magic power in the blood will gradually dissipate.

The spells cast by wizards are also time-limited, which is the effect of losing the magic of blood.

At the time, Ariana thought that magic was an unstable variable, but now she sees it that way and can calculate it that way, but she didn't know why it was unstable at the time.

Snape watched Ariana write more theoretical data that he couldn't understand, and said speechlessly, "I heard you left a set of books in the lounge. Please send me one too. I'll pay in gold Galleons."

It seems that I still need to learn this Muggle knowledge, otherwise I will never be able to use Fiendfyre or learn spells to deal with ghosts.

And with this kid's talent, he's likely to establish a school of his own in the future. Could it be that he's stuck at Muggle knowledge and can't move forward? That's absolutely impossible.

"I'll just give it to the professor. It doesn't cost much, and the professor has helped me a lot." Ariana was very generous.

She hadn't even thought of paying for the experimental materials she had used these past two days.

Chapter 154 My ears still feel itchy

Seeing that Snape wanted to object, Ariana glanced at Draco who was dissecting a mouse in the distance, and suddenly had a bad idea.

"You are Draco's godfather, so of course you can be considered my godfather too. The professor doesn't seem to have a marriage partner yet, and we may have to live together in the future. Why bother about so many things?" She had to find a way to make Snape pay attention to Draco.

Snape said speechlessly: "Don't you know that professors at Hogwarts are lifelong? I have never thought of leaving here in my life."

He was a little disgusted by this little brat and couldn't imagine living with her.

Ariana reminded him calmly, "You're too old to move, but Hogwarts is still willing to let you teach? I heard that the professor doesn't have many relatives at home. Don't you expect Draco to take care of you? Or do you have other godsons?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Snape asked with a dark face.

This brat must have a purpose. Don't make it too difficult, otherwise I will have to hand her over to Dumbledore, who will have a headache.

Ariana's true intentions were exposed, and she said with a smile, "Draco is determined to become a healer, but he can't just be a healer."

Snape understood immediately, but he was even more confused.

"He is willing to learn Potions, so why would I refuse to teach him?" Snape didn't quite understand what the kid was trying to say.

Ariana could only put it bluntly.

"The professor has to teach students and study potions and spells on a regular basis. Now it's even better, he has to learn Muggle knowledge as well. Can you spare some time for him?" By this calculation, the black bat is even busier than her.

Snape understood what Ariana meant. It was indeed not a difficult matter, so he agreed immediately.

"I will organize my notes and research results and give them to him, but you also said that I don't have much time and energy, so you have to keep an eye on him. Anyway, if you think he will fall, run away first." Snape felt that what Ariana said was right.

He had become Draco's godfather in exchange for benefits with Lucius. Perhaps because of this, he didn't care much about Draco, and since Lucius didn't say anything, he did tend to neglect his responsibilities.

It’s not about retirement issues.

Draco finished the experiment and saw Ariana asking him to hold a small cardboard box, and looked at her puzzledly.

"What is this?" he asked.

Ariana said jokingly: "This is the love your godfather has for you."

Draco felt goosebumps stand up, and he said speechlessly: "Just talk properly, okay?"

"Well, this is his years of potion research that I asked for for you. Medicine and pharmacy are inseparable. You can't just study medicine without understanding pharmacy," Ariana explained.

Draco said in a rather cryptic way, "Do you think I can find more time?"

He now gets up at six o'clock every day and goes to bed at eleven o'clock. He doesn't have a lunch break at noon. He is either in class, studying, or doing research.
