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

The topic was getting off track, so Ariana spoke again, eagerly asking, "Hasn't the professor told me that person succeeded yet?"

After all, the opportunity to experiment with this spell is so rare, and maybe once you miss it, you won’t be able to experiment with it again.

Snape was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "No, Dumbledore hasn't put the Philosopher's Stone in there yet."

This brat still has some bottom line, and since the last conversation, she seems to be less concerned about the Philosopher's Stone.

Ariana breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. I was planning to ask the professor when I went to do the experiment today if the principal had left the school. I didn't expect that person to act so quickly."

Snape's face darkened and he warned, "Don't act rashly, and don't take Draco on any adventure."

Can't these two little brats be separated a little?

Ariana knew that Snape had misunderstood her, and explained innocently, "Professor Flitwick told us a method to change the properties of magic. I want Draco to try it."

Although Draco said he didn't want to try it again, there was nothing to lose, and it was not as risky as the method proposed by Professor Quirrell.

Snape raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What method?"

He knew that Professor Flitwick had a deep understanding of magic, but his magical attributes were already very good, so he shouldn't study in detail how to change his magical attributes.

Ariana looked at Draco with a smile and said, "Slowly change your personality. Professor Flitwick means that Draco should take the lead in everything, but my silly boyfriend doesn't want to steal my limelight."

As soon as these words came out, Draco blushed and hurriedly defended himself: "I'm not a stupid boyfriend, and it's not that I don't want to be in the spotlight."

What's wrong with Ariana? Why did she say something like that in front of Professor Snape? She's been embarrassing herself lately.

Ariana immediately patted Draco's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, whatever kind of boyfriend you want, that's what you want."

He looked as if there was nothing he could do.

Snape felt a toothache, waved his hand impatiently, stopped and said angrily, "Go back to the common room and stay here."

Anyway, with Ariana as the little brat, Quirrell has returned to his office, and the troll is under control, these two little brats should not be in any danger.

The topic of conversation in the auditorium the next day was, of course, the troll from last night. At such times, Ron, who loved to be in the spotlight, naturally became the focus of everyone.

He didn't even sit down at this moment. He stood up, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Yesterday I bravely stood in front of the troll and protected Hermione. Although I was injured, it was not serious."

He spoke as if he were a great hero, but in reality he was standing in front of Hermione, and he couldn't break through her defense even after using several spells, and was directly fanned to the ground by the troll.

The Gryffindors, who were unaware of the situation, exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! You actually dared to fight the troll."

Seeing this, Ron raised his chin even more proudly and continued, "Of course. I fought it for three hundred rounds before I was finally defeated."

He didn't say whether he lost or the giant lost.

A Gryffindor student asked curiously, "What was Potter doing at the time?"

Ron talked for a long time without mentioning Harry, and Harry, who didn't dare to refute Ron, almost lowered his head to the plate.

Ron put his arm around Harry's shoulders and said mysteriously, "After I lost, it was Harry's turn. I fainted at the time, so I don't know how we defeated the troll."

He felt that everyone's attention was on Harry, and they would definitely not pay attention to the fact that he was defeated.

The Gryffindor students shouted excitedly: "It turned out that it was Potter who defeated the troll. He is the savior, he is indeed the savior."

Ron was bragging, and as a friend, Harry couldn't refute him. However, Harry didn't want to be in the spotlight, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No."

But before he could finish his words, Ron immediately interrupted, "What do you mean by no? Hasn't the giant monster at the back been controlled? Didn't you contribute anything in this fight?"

Harry jumped onto the troll's shoulders to stop it from attacking Hermione, which Ron thought was also a great contribution, although the main credit went to Ariana.

As for Draco, Ron simply ignored him. He really didn't want others to know that the Malfoy heir saved him.

Harry opened his mouth and wanted to explain: "But..."

Ron interrupted him again and said, "It's okay. You did your best, didn't you?"

Draco, who was far away, couldn't stand it anymore and walked straight to the Gryffindor table.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his face full of sarcasm, and looked at Ron and said, "The Savior's face is indeed thinner than Weasley's. After all, he just jumped onto the troll's back and was tossed around. It can't really be considered as putting in any effort."

Seeing Draco appear, Ron blushed and shouted, "Malfoy, this is the Gryffindor table. You should go back to Slytherin."

When he started speaking, he didn't notice Draco and Ariana appear in the auditorium, but as he spoke, he forgot to observe the situation.

Draco smiled coldly and said, "Why didn't you tell me I was a Slytherin when I rescued you yesterday? If Ariana and I hadn't shown up, there would have been a memorial service for the savior today, but you, Weasley, didn't even have one. After all, you're just a nobody."

Chapter 194 His and Ariana's Contributions

The Gryffindor students looked at each other in confusion. One of them asked, "What do you mean? Malfoy and Colin were also in the bathroom on the third floor yesterday?"

Since Draco came over, he naturally had to explain what happened yesterday.

"If he hadn't ignored the credit that should have gone to Ariana and me, I wouldn't want to come to the Gryffindor table." He first explained the reason for his coming here.

He then went on to praise the contributions of him and Ariana.

"It was Ariana who used Transfiguration to control the troll. At that time, the Savior was being swung around on the troll's back. Ariana made an incision in the iron cage that fixed the troll. I dragged him out with my own hands. Potter, am I wrong?" He questioned Harry coldly.

Harry nodded helplessly and said, "That's right."

Not to mention that what Draco said was the truth, he felt that if he refuted it, there might be a conflict, especially since Ariana was also watching the situation from a distance.

Draco looked at Ron again and asked, "At that time, Weasley was knocked to the ground by the troll, fainted and vomited blood. Was it me who used the Checking and Healing Charms to wake him up? Potter, please answer."

Harry gave up and nodded again, saying, "Yes."

His voice was already filled with determination.

Draco glanced at the students around him and sneered loudly, "Granger didn't have a wand at the time, and your wand was stuck in the troll's nostril. Weasley's wand was in his hand. How did you defeat the troll?"

He just wanted Harry to admit that it was Ariana who defeated the troll and saved the three of them, to see if they would have the nerve to provoke Ariana again in the future?

Hermione, unable to remain silent any longer, cried out, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have kept telling Ron about the point deductions. Otherwise, we wouldn't have argued, I wouldn't have gone to the third floor, and I wouldn't have encountered the troll, and they wouldn't have come looking for me."

She felt that if Draco continued talking, Harry and Ron would probably be scolded by all the Gryffindors again.

Now that the three of them have become good friends, she feels she should do something for them.

Draco frowned and said unhappily, "I'm not blaming you. It's always like this."

This was the nth time that Hermione jumped out to accuse him. If he hadn't been concerned about agreeing to Ariana's request, he would have spoken ill of him long ago.

If he continued to stay here, it would seem like he was bullying others, so Draco returned to the Slytherin table angrily, sat down on the chair, picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and drank it all in one gulp.

Draco complained to Ariana about Hermione: "Granger is so annoying. I only told her once, but she has targeted me countless times."

Ariana smiled lightly and said, "I remember someone saying that they would never provoke the Savior and Weasley again."

Ariana was just teasing him, after all, she didn't stop him when he went there just now.

Moreover, Draco has made a lot of progress now. He did not act in a domineering manner, but instead rationally accused the other party. At least he stood on the moral high ground.

Draco continued angrily, "I'm just angry that Weasley ignored your contribution, as if the troll was defeated by them, Gryffindor. But if you hadn't shown up, all three of them would have died."

Ron had been knocked to the ground at that time. Although Harry jumped onto the back of the troll, he still couldn't stop the troll from charging towards Hermione.

If Ariana hadn't appeared, the consequences would have been disastrous, and perhaps Hogwarts would have been closed because of their deaths.

Ariana fiddled with the fork in her hand nonchalantly and jokingly said, "Without your contribution? Didn't you just say it? Without your healing spell, Weasley wouldn't have woken up so quickly."

Draco slammed the table and said belatedly, "Yeah, I was so angry that I missed myself."

Ariana couldn't help but laugh, but she still told Draco what she needed to say.

"Don't confront Granger easily when I'm not by your side in the future," she said.

Draco misunderstood Ariana's meaning and asked unconvincedly, "You think I can't deal with her?"

Although Hermione is quite powerful, he thinks that he is not bad either, especially after being specially trained by Ariana recently, his fighting ability has improved a lot.

Ariana didn't mean that. She shook her head and said to Draco, "Aren't you curious why Weasley is so against her, but she still hangs out with Weasley and Potter all the time?"

Ariana had never analyzed this question. Hearing this, Draco moved closer to her and asked curiously, "Yeah, the Weasleys are all poor, Potter is a fool, and although Granger is annoying, she's still quite capable. Why would she get close to those two?"

Ariana raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile. She explained to him, "That's because the title of savior can ease her situation. Before, because Potter often spoke up for her, even though she was so annoying in Gryffindor, everyone just ignored her at most. Moreover, after experiencing that life-and-death adventure yesterday, her situation may be reversed."

She could see now that the relationship between these three people had been sublimated, and they would definitely help each other in the future. The other Gryffindor members would change their attitude based on Harry's attitude.

Draco pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Did she deliberately approach the Savior and Weasley?"

If that's the case, Hermione's thoughts are too deep.

Ariana shook her head and said, "That's not the case. It's just that Potter has always been very nice to her. Plus, given the Savior's reputation in the wizarding world, isn't it normal for Granger to subconsciously get close to Potter?"

Draco nodded thoughtfully and commented, "If you put it that way, I understand. Although the Longbottom family is much more prominent than the Weasley family, it's clear that the Longbottoms can't help Granger in this regard."

He had previously wondered why Hermione chose to be close to Harry and Ron, but was only indifferent to Neville.

Ariana smiled slightly and added, "More importantly, smart people don't like to play with fools. Although Longbottom is kind-hearted, he is really too stupid, isn't he?"

We are all still children now, and choosing friends is often subconscious, so it is impossible to be so utilitarian.

Draco couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a very obvious fact."

Not to mention someone as powerful as Draco, even Gryffindor, who prides themselves on being enthusiastic, doesn't like playing with Neville.

Draco's focus is now on the second round of eliminations that is about to begin. As long as Ron and the others don't provoke him, he won't take the initiative to pay attention to them.

Chapter 195 Can she be more powerful than the mysterious man?

As time drew to a close, not only Ariana could sense Draco's nervousness, but the entire Slytherin group could feel it.

It didn't affect other things, but Draco affected Quidditch training, and Flint couldn't tolerate him.

Another training mistake. Flint put his hands on his hips and shouted at Draco, "Although the Duel Tournament is important, Quidditch is also important. When you are training, just focus on Quidditch. I don't care what you do after that."

They only train three times a week, and with Draco in this state, how can they possibly achieve the 150-point lead strategy that Ariana mentioned?

Draco also knew that he was not in a good state. He lowered his head and apologized: "Okay, I will try my best to adjust."

Flint persisted, raising his voice and saying firmly, "It's not about trying your best, it's about doing it."

Ariana, who had rested a long time ago, walked forward, patted Flint on the shoulder, and said helpfully, "Captain, you also know the feud between the Malfoy and Weasley families. As the heir of the Malfoy family, it is normal for Draco to be nervous about this duel."

"But Weasley is very bad at fighting. Last time he couldn't even use spells." Flint frowned.

Ron is not only the youngest son of the Weasley family, but also a friend of the Savior. Many people go to watch his duel.

Everyone knew that he gave up the wand attack and chose to use physical output. No one thought that Draco would lose to such an opponent.

Ariana explained the magic strength displayed by the magic ring, smiled and shook her head and said, "He is still quite strong, but there is a problem with his wand. But he has already replaced it with a new one."

Hogwarts is a closed school, and it would be quite a sensation if parents came in and out. Flint certainly knew that Arthur Weasley had taken Ron to buy a wand.

Even though this was a good reason, Flint was still a little dissatisfied. He insisted, "But Quidditch also has to be played."

The dueling competition is about showing the individual, Quidditch is about the honor of the team, and Slytherin is a house that values ​​honor more.

Ariana assured confidently, "There's still a week left after the Duel Tournament. He'll definitely be able to adjust, I promise."

Ariana's current status in Slytherin is unquestionable. Since she has made a promise, Flint can only give in.

"Okay, I believe you." He glared at Draco before leaving.

After Flint went to keep an eye on other players, Draco looked at Ariana gratefully and said, "I will definitely adjust myself and won't let Flint blame you."

Draco didn't want Ariana to be embarrassed or blamed for his affairs. She should be perfect.

Ariana smiled, patted Draco's shoulder and encouraged: "I believe you can do it."

On the day of the game, Lucius came to watch the game late at night. He was wearing a gorgeous black robe and stood elegantly at the edge of the stands.

Draco rarely left Ariana to talk to his father alone for a while, but soon returned to Ariana.

Ariana looked at Lucius's gloomy face and asked curiously, "Your father doesn't look very good. Did you have a fight?"

Draco looked back at his father, shook his head, and said curiously, "No, he just asked me some questions. He was fine when I left. Maybe he had some unpleasantness with Professor Snape. They are standing together."

Adrian guessed that there would be a lot of spectators for today's game, so he specially asked Professor Flitwick to expand the space of the duel classroom.

Today, the duel classroom not only has seats for teachers, but students also have places to sit.

Although Lucius was not a teacher, his status made it impossible for him to sit with the little wizard.

As a friend, Snape of course had to bring Lucius along, and now the two of them were sitting together. The bustling crowd around them could conceal their conversation.

Lucius frowned as he watched his son and Ariana talking intimately. He questioned his friend, "You didn't tell me about Xiaolong's situation. He's changed so much."

I just talked to my son for a few words. His emotions were very unstable, but he just didn't want to show it in front of him.

Less than three months into the school term, his son was already a completely different person from when he left home. If Draco hadn't been looking at him with admiration, he would have suspected that he was impersonating him.
