The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

The new students don't need to worry about their luggage; it will be magically delivered to each student's dormitory by the train crew and the prefects.

Therefore, the group, along with Malfoy and others, were among the first to disembark and would arrive at Hogwarts in the first carriage.

Even Dolly became nervous at this point.

Not only because of the unknown fate, but also because of the upcoming meeting with Hogwarts, which I have been longing for.

"Harry, come this way."

Hagrid's deep voice rang out, and unlike his joyful expression in the original story, his face was now serious.

It's clear that Hogwarts already knows what happened on the train.

"Don't talk too much for a while, and listen patiently to the professors' decision."

"It was just a fight. You haven't even enrolled yet, it's okay."

After saying that, Hagrid patted Harry hard on the shoulder, almost knocking Harry over.

To Dolly's surprise, Hagrid then handed her a box.

The moment Dolly received it, she realized what was happening, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Upon opening it, it was indeed her fluffy cattail.

Pu Rongrong seemed to have missed Dolly for a long time, and they jumped out one by one and landed on Dolly, their round and chubby appearance attracting the attention of everyone around them.

Even Malfoy was momentarily captivated by the little creature.

But the next second he turned his head away angrily, seemingly ashamed of his embarrassment.

“You guys come with us. Hagrid, please take care of the rest of them.”

"Okay, I hope you can understand them too..."

Percy waved his hand and said, "Alright, Hagrid, the professor is still waiting for us. Let's talk about it later."

After saying that, Percy led Dolly's group of five, along with Malfoy and his two companions, down a narrow path.

The path was pitch black on both sides, and no one dared to speak. Only Neville would occasionally sniff.

"Look closely, Hogwarts is almost here."

Farley spoke, her expression serious, but it was clear she didn't want the young wizards to miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

At the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly opened up. On the other side of the lake, on the high hillside, stood a towering castle with towers and windows flickering under the starry sky.

"There are four people on each boat."

Percy spoke, then looked at Malfoy and the other two, and said, "I'll go with you."

"Then you three boys can go together, and I'll go with them."

Farley also formed a formation, then waved to Dolly and Hermione.

The two didn't say much and followed Farley onto the ship.

Three small boats immediately glided across the mirror-like lake and sailed forward, everyone silent, gazing at the enormous castle that soared into the clouds.

As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower above them.

"Hey, listen up."

Taking advantage of this moment, Farley suddenly spoke up, saying, "You will meet Professor Snape, the Head of Slytherin, in a little while."

"He doesn't like troublemakers, and he's Malfoy's godfather, so you might be punished."

"But don't resist. Your mistakes will not get you expelled. At most, you'll have to clean the classroom for a few days."

"This is the last thing I can do to help you."

After saying that, Farley winked at the two of them, then returned to his original serious and earnest demeanor.

Clearly, Dolly and the others' previous behavior had earned them the favor of this Slytherin prefect.

Of course, it's also possible that she was also unhappy with Malfoy.

Hermione gripped Dolly's hand tightly, nervously. Although Farley made it sound easy, being targeted by a professor right from the start still put Hermione under immense pressure.

Dolly raised an eyebrow, surprised that she was about to run into Snape so soon.

Although Farley had made the pros and cons very clear, Dolly didn't want to be taught a lesson by Snape just like that.

After all, Malfoy cursed out the Mudbloods.

Dolly couldn't swallow her anger if Snape lectured her again at a time like this.

Is there any way to avoid punishment, or at least prevent Snape from favoring Malfoy?

Dolly looked at Harry.

If it's Harry... then the punishment will definitely be doubled, or even tripled.

Because at this point, Harry wasn't just someone who looked like James; he was James's son.

With Dolly's arrival, Harry's personality became more outgoing, and he almost became a mini-James.

Seeing a young James like this, Snape would probably have a meltdown and give Harry a handstand on the spot—just kidding.

But getting Snape to let Harry go is virtually impossible.

Then she'll have to rely on herself.

Suddenly, Dolly had an idea.

"Senior Farley, may I ask you a question?"

Farley said in a low voice, "Ask away, I may not answer."

Is there a magic spell to change hair color?

"what?"

Soon, the small boat came to a stop in front of a huge oak door.

"Listen, I'm giving you one last piece of advice, uh..."

Percy intended to give a final explanation, but his eyes turned toward Dolly.

The rest of the people looked at Dolly in surprise, not understanding what she was doing at this time.

Only Harry's eyes flashed with a light, as if he had realized something.

“Miss Dursley,” Percy said, barely containing his anger, “what are you doing?”

Dolly shrugged and said, "Can't I make a good impression on the professor?"

Percy paused for a moment, his brows furrowing as he looked at Farley.

That gaze seemed to ask, "Is what this girl is saying true or false?"

After all, Percy knew almost nothing about girls.

Farley pursed his lips and said, "That's normal, but I don't know the outcome. Let her bear the consequences of her choice."

Percy nodded, no longer commenting on Dolly's current appearance.

Instead, they told the group to show respect to the professor who was about to arrive, and only then did they make way for him.

Malfoy took the lead, even turning his head to give everyone a provocative look.

When Malfoy learned that Snape was waiting for them, he knew he was going to win today.

As for Dolly's actions, he saw them as nothing more than a Mudblood's self-indulgence.

Could such a small change really alter his godfather Snape, that incredibly cold-blooded man who favored Slytherin?

That's just wishful thinking.

After giving everyone a defiant smile, he pounded on the door.

The door slowly opened, and a figure descended the stairs step by step.

Every step he took seemed to toll the bells of a graveyard, and his all-black attire made him appear as cold and ruthless as a black vampire bat.

"Were all your legs broken?"

"If you haven't broken your bond, get back in here. Otherwise, get out of Hogwarts forever."

The cold, rapid enunciation sent chills down everyone's spines, but their bodies moved instinctively.

We stood side by side, until we reached the light inside the gate, ready to face Professor Snape's judgment.

Chapter 41, Part 3: The red-haired guy is the murderer!

Good evening, Professor.

Malfoy spoke first, greeting Snape.

It was as if he couldn't show that he was actually very familiar with Snape without doing so.

The smugness on his face was no longer concealed at all.

Snape glanced at Malfoy and nodded slightly at him.

He came here to support Malfoy.

This matter can be big or small.

If it's a small fight, it's just a few kids getting into a fight, and no one gets hurt, so there's absolutely no need to intervene.

On a grander scale, it's about Harry Potter, the boy who survived a great ordeal, bullying the weak and wanting to make James' son understand who he needs to respect at Hogwarts.

After calming Malfoy down, Snape looked at the others.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

This is the obvious situation.

Even if he wasn't standing on the stairs, just by his imposing presence, few freshmen or even graduates dared to look him in the eye.

He then scanned everyone present, his gaze sweeping over the various colored hairs. A familiar red hair made him pause for a moment, but then he turned his attention to Harry.
