"How can your silencing spell work on ghosts?" Snape asked the key question.
Ghosts have no bodies, and one can only feel the cold breath on them. Spells usually need to be used on tangible and material things, but Ariana's silencing spell is obviously not the case.
Ariana asked with a malicious look, "This is the result of my experiment on dark magic. Professor Snape, do you want to see it?"
Chapter 135 Don’t You Think It’s a Bit Too Much?
This is indeed the case. The Imperius Curse can be regarded as the darkest of all dark magics. The fact that she can make ordinary spells work on ghosts is entirely based on the theory of this spell.
The reason why previous spells couldn't be used on ghosts was because the people who studied the spells used physical objects as numerical variables. Ariana studied the energy field of ghosts and just replaced the numerical values of the physical objects.
"I want to see it, will you let me see it?" Snape said without hesitation.
As expected by Professor McGonagall, Ariana really trusts Snape now. Moreover, she has just received the explanation of the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse from him, and her trust is growing in a spiral.
"Professor is even willing to give me the explanations of the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse. Of course, I won't be stingy in showing you my research results." As he said this, he gave her the explanation of the spells he had written.
Ariana promised to share her research results with the members of the Duel Club, otherwise she would not have written it.
Unfortunately, this kind of analysis is currently only understood by her, and as expected, Snape started to complain about her after reading it.
"Can't you write some principles that wizards can understand?" The paper was full of various mathematical and chemical formulas.
Snape couldn't understand the analysis of Fiery Flame that Ariana gave him last time. In the end, he was unwilling to give up and asked someone to buy him some introductory mathematics books.
After studying for a long time, I still couldn't understand the formula for analyzing the Fierce Fire Curse.
If Ariana knew about this, she would definitely laugh at Snape.
Because the math book he asked someone to buy only covered junior high school content, but the magic analytical formulas she wrote might not be understood by college students.
It’s not that Ariana is better than everyone else, but that she stopped going to school after graduating from junior high school in her previous life.
In order to learn hacking techniques, I learned all kinds of random things, and it was not a step-by-step process. It was a demand-based learning, and there was no system at all.
If you want to understand the spells she has researched, besides learning all the knowledge she has learned, the only way is to let her teach you personally, just like the way professors in school teach, without having to understand too much, just copy what she says.
Ariana could tell that the other party wanted her to teach him, but she was not willing to waste time teaching others magic before the life safety risks were completely resolved.
"Professor, this is a bit unreasonable. I have only received wizard education for less than two months, but I have been in the Muggle world for more than 10 years." It was difficult to refuse directly, so Ariana could only make an excuse.
Snape asked speechlessly: "Did you start learning as soon as you were born?"
Did this kid forget that he is only 11 years old?
"Yes." Ariana actually admitted.
Although it sounds ridiculous, it is true. She was conscious when she was three months old.
The economy in Britain was not very good at that time, and the treatment in the orphanage was really average. When she became able to do so, she tried to find a way to leave there.
To achieve a goal, one must make careful preparations, right? How can this not be considered learning from birth?
Seeing that Ariana refused to give in, Snape could only compromise and said, "Do you have any recommended supplementary teaching materials?"
He felt that the books he asked someone to buy were not the right ones, otherwise how could they not help him understand the spell at all? Instead of continuing to study randomly, it would be better to ask the creator of the spell to recommend books directly.
Ariana agreed to this request easily. She took out a piece of paper, cast a spell on the automatic pen, and the pen started writing automatically.
Ten minutes later, Snape finally got the list of books. Looking at the automatic pen that was still working, he really didn't know where to start complaining about this kid.
"Don't you think it's a bit too much for you to ask me to study for several years just to learn two spells to deal with ghosts?"
The content on this piece of paper alone was enough for him to study for several years, but judging by the automatic pen that was still writing, Ariana obviously had many more books to recommend.
Draco on the side understood Snape very well. Ariana had treated him in the same way at the beginning, but now he understood Ariana because she really thought that learning was a very simple thing.
Perhaps in order to return the book as soon as possible and not leave any room for gossip, Draco recently discovered that Ariana read very quickly.
She would just glance at each page and turn it. At first, when he asked her curiously about the previous content, she could tell him word for word, even the page number. Her brain was so terrifying.
As expected, Ariana said as a matter of course: "This is what I have studied. I have basically mastered it. If you ask me to distinguish one, I can tell you. If it involves other things, I will have to go back to the basics."
This is the reason why Ariana was reluctant to explain the analysis of magic to Snape, because when it comes to every knowledge point, she has to start from the most basic.
For example, if it was calculus at university, given the student's current foundation, she would have to start from 1+1=2. How could she even begin to explain it? She had little patience to begin with, so in this situation, she could only give up.
Seeing Snape's face darken, Ariana said helplessly: "It's not just for learning these two spells. Professor, after you learn these, you should be able to understand my spell analysis in the future."
In fact, she felt a little unsure about what she said.
Ariana has been reading the black magic books in the Room of Requirement recently in order to understand the vague and incomplete principles of black magic.
She also used Draco's owl to write to Thompson frequently, asking him to send her some professional number theory and the most cutting-edge scientific research results.
Snape only took the first sheet of recommended books.
He usually has to teach young wizards, and he has to do a lot of potion research after class. He can only squeeze out time to study. He doesn't know how long it will take him to finish this page of books.
After everyone left, Draco suddenly said, "You should also make a list of books for me. I don't mind studying for several years, as long as I can become the best healer."
I used to not be able to accept that I had to learn so much knowledge just to learn a spell, but after being with Ariana for a long time, it seems that it is possible.
Anyway, there is not homework every day. We both study in the lounge at night, so it is fine to learn the knowledge at that time.
Ariana thought about it and gave a pertinent suggestion.
"I think you could learn Occlumency and Memory Labyrinth, and then anatomy. You have to understand the human body before you can treat it."
Remembering that medicine is a practical discipline, Ariana added, "I'll find you some professors from medical schools during the holidays and have them give you a few classes. If you want to be the best in the industry, you have to stand on the shoulders of your predecessors and keep moving forward."
Unfortunately, Hogwarts and the medical school are on holiday, so I can’t go to school to attend classes.
Maybe after graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the two of them could go to the United States to attend university, she could study business management, and Draco could go to medical school.
At that time, they were only 17 years old, so it seemed quite suitable.
Draco nodded and said, "Okay, I won't give up just because it's too difficult this time."
The longer he was with Ariana, the more he didn't want to leave her. Draco felt that he should work harder and see more beautiful scenery with her in the future.
"I believe you can do it." Ariana would of course encourage her good friend.
Now Ariana devotes most of her time to classes. She also has Quidditch training on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and a Quidditch match against Gryffindor this Saturday.
And today is the employee interview for the Dueling Club, so the study of the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse can only be put off until next week.
Ariana can now foresee that her future research on magic will not progress very quickly.
It seems that we have to think of a way. After all, the date of the mysterious man's return is like the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, and safety is still the most important issue.
Early on Friday morning, Flint was in the auditorium boosting the morale of the Quidditch players because they had a practice match with Gryffindor the next morning.
Chapter 136: Thanks for the gift again
"Although it's an exchange match, we can't lose. I've watched Gryffindor's training. Potter's flying skills are very good. Besides, I feel that he has a fearless drive. Colin, you must be careful." Flint looked at Ariana.
Complaining about the bug of the seeker at this time was useless. Ariana didn't want to lose the game, so after thinking about it for a while, she made a suggestion.
"To be on the safe side, we should try to keep a 150-point lead. The luck factor in catching the golden ball is really too huge. Maybe the title of Porter the Savior has some luck added to it." Ariana said.
After observing for a period of time, Ariana discovered that Harry really had some metaphysics in him.
At first I thought he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and I hesitated again and again and didn't dare to test him. Later I found out that he was just a pig eating feed.
But before she could rest assured for two days, she discovered that he not only had a good talent for flying, but also excellent talent for combat, which made Ariana re-evaluate him.
Although I haven't read many novels, I have seen that many male protagonists have this kind of configuration. They are very weak in the early stage, but in the later stage, they have all kinds of incredible luck bonuses and kill the villain who is almost successful.
Although Ariana didn't think she was a villain, she didn't want to be fooled by such unreasonable luck.
With the existence of Ariana, an upright leader, the atmosphere in Slytherin has become much more upright. If nothing else, at least they will not mindlessly slander the savior.
After listening to Ariana's words, Flint nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. Luck should also be taken into consideration. In the early stages, you should assist and disrupt the opponent for a maximum of 10 minutes. After that, you should focus on the movement of the golden flying ball."
"I promise to complete the task." Ariana nodded and agreed.
After spending some time together, Slytherin discovered that as long as Ariana didn't cross the line, she was quite easy to talk to.
Everyone gradually let go of their fear of her, but still maintained due respect, which was Slytherin's attitude towards the strong.
This was the first exchange competition since the founding of Hogwarts. Both Flint and Wood attached great importance to it. Not only did they invite Professor Hooch to be the referee, but they also invited Li Jordan as the commentator.
To be fair, Slytherin also found a commentator, that person was Greve, who had run errands for Ariana before. He was chosen because he spoke very fast.
This was an exchange match, not a formal competition, so there was no fancy opening ceremony. After the players from both teams took their positions, Professor Huo Qi blew the whistle to start the game.
As soon as she started, Ariana rushed out at an astonishing speed.
Li Jordan is a professional commentator. Seeing Ariana's movements, he immediately took action. He exclaimed, "As soon as Colin came on the court, she flew straight to a certain place. Is she planning to finish the game in 5 minutes?"
Wood had obviously misunderstood, and he quickly called to the Bludger, "Quickly stop Colin. Harry, go find the golden ball."
But they soon discovered that Ariana was just faking it, but when Gryffindor's attention was drawn away, Slytherin took the opportunity to score a goal.
"Malfoy scored a goal."
After several days of training in catching the ball at any time, Draco's sensitivity has greatly improved, and his level has even surpassed his substitute Evans.
Combined with his advantage in speed, he has firmly secured the starting position as a Chaser.
"Ten points for Slytherin."
"Ten points for Slytherin."
Ariana's expression and actions were too deceptive, and Gryffindor could not afford to lose the Golden Ball. They were deceived by her repeatedly within ten minutes.
Slytherin also took the opportunity to score goals, which led to the score gap widening.
Not only was the competition intense on the field, but the discussion off the field was also heated, not only because this was Hogwarts' first exchange match, but also because Slytherin was shocked by the change in style.
"Slytherin's style of play is much cleaner than before, but more aggressive, especially with the improvements they've made to the Chaser. Malfoy has the speed of a Seeker and the acumen of a Chaser."
"You've seen him practice his reaction speed with that circular flying ball lately. I heard it was a token of love Colin gave him, with his signature on it."
"Colin is so good to Malfoy. They seem to have a good relationship. I've never seen them argue."
"Malfoy is also very good to Colin, following her around all day."
"I heard that although Colin bought the two brooms, Malfoy's parents returned the money for the two brooms to her after they found out. 1 Galleons? Can you buy such an expensive gift for your girlfriend?"
"It's really not nice to use a girl's money for a relationship. No wonder the Malfoys had to pay for two brooms."
Draco's reputation has improved a lot since he was influenced by Ariana, although he is still very arrogant.
But he didn't pick a fight with anyone, nor did he bother anyone else. Instead, everyone thought he was quite handsome for being so complacent.
After 15 minutes, Wood looked at the scores of both sides with a very ugly look on his face, and then shouted at his players.
"Everyone, just do your own thing. Colin is deliberately distracting us." If this continues, Gryffindor will definitely lose.
Greve's commentary was of course biased towards Slytherin. He excitedly announced, "Gryffindor has only scored 20 points so far, and Slytherin is already 110 points ahead."
After hearing this, Ron cursed excitedly, "Slytherin is so despicable, especially that Colin. He always pretends to have discovered the golden ball. Even I was fooled, let alone a player who is highly focused."
In the past, Slytherin would always use dirty tricks to deliberately injure the opponent's players. Even if they were sent off, they had enough players to replace them.
On the contrary, other teams, even if they have replacement players, do not have their own flying brooms. The level of the substitutes is too far behind that of Slytherin, so they always lose easily in the end.
But now all the Slytherins know that Ariana doesn't like this, so they naturally won't use such despicable means. In addition, their strength has been greatly improved, so there is no need to do so.
Ron's curse on Slytherin was 99% selfish.
Hermione was relatively fair. She retorted with a straight face, "It's a tactic used in a game. It's not despicable at all. I've seen it described in books as a regular game."
Ron rolled his eyes at Hermione in annoyance but said nothing. Lately, he had been beaten up by his brothers one after another and threatened to be sent home at any time, so he had become much more obedient.
Gryffindor's evaluation of the game was somewhat personal, but the other two houses did not have such a stance. They mostly gave fair analysis.
"Slytherin probably wants to be 150 points ahead before the Golden Ball appears, so that they can ensure that they will ultimately win the game."
"That certainly fits the shrewd nature of a Slytherin."
The ordinary spectators outside the venue could see Slytherin's intention, so how could Wood not see it?
He shouted at Harry with a dark face: "Harry, you must get the golden flying ball as soon as possible."
If Slytherin is ahead by 150 points, even winning the Golden Ball will be of no use.
Harry knew, of course, that to win the game, he had to catch the golden ball.
But at the moment, he not only had to pay close attention to the movement of the golden fly ball on the court, but also had to pay attention to Ariana, because he was not sure whether the other party would discover the fly ball before him.
Not only did Slytherin sneak a peek at Gryffindor's training, but Wood also took Harry to watch Slytherin's training.
