The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

"Oh I got it."

Snape began to look Dolly up and down, and although he spoke with an air of sudden realization, Dolly felt that he already knew.

However, Snape's action did indeed pull him back from his past visions, just as Dolly had predicted.

But Snape's next words made Dolly's heart jump again.

"As far as I know, Miss Dursley has never been exposed to magic."

"So why such a strong reaction to the word 'Mudblood'—of course, it's only natural that Malfoy would get beaten up for swearing."

"But Miss Dolly, what were you thinking at the time?"

Snape neither showed Tidori's face nor continued to investigate the relationship between Tidori and Harry.

His feelings for Lily were his biggest secret, because if this secret were to be revealed, his identity as a double agent would be meaningless.

He and Dumbledore are still waiting for that person to return, so that he can go back to that person's side and find an opportunity to probe his weaknesses.

This was to commemorate Lily's death, and it was also the path to rest that Snape had found for himself. He would not allow anyone to disrupt this, and naturally, everyone here included himself.

"cough."

When faced with Snape's question, Dolly suddenly blushed shyly.

Then she secretly glanced at Hermione, which startled Hermione, because she thought Dolly was going to say that it was actually for her sake.

Just as Hermione gritted her teeth, preparing to be punished along with Dolly, Dolly spoke up.

"Actually, I used to have a very bad temper."

"Back then I practiced boxing—you know boxing, right? It's a sport where people fight each other."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you can just understand it as my father really wanting to train me to be someone who specializes in beating up others."

“I used to enjoy it too.”

"Unfortunately, I had a serious illness before coming to Hogwarts, and my body became weak."

"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to transform into a sickly and dignified girl, like Hermione next to me, as well as my mother and my late aunt."

"But that guy insulted me, and I couldn't hold back."

After saying that, Dolly stuck out her tongue and shyly covered her face.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

45 More Lily, do you really like red?

Everyone was staring at Dolly, which made the feigned shy Dolly seem genuinely flustered.

He said, "Don't look at me like that."

She turned around and buried her head on Hermione's shoulder, and now Hermione was the center of everyone's attention.

Hermione stood frozen like a stone pillar, genuinely worried that Dolly's answer would enrage Snape, who would then see Dolly as someone who would bully classmates under any pretext.

Malfoy even stood up, as if he had found another chance to win, and looked at Dolly with resentment.

But because he was just terrified of Snape, he really didn't want to talk to Snape anymore, but he was clearly not convinced by Snape's treatment.

Especially now that Dolly has revealed her motive for forging the story, if Snape doesn't punish her severely, Malfoy has decided to write to his father soon!

Unfortunately, Dolly was the most clear-headed.

Snape's rage stemmed solely from Malfoy's use of the term "Mudblood" to refer to Dolly, who resembled Lily.

Or rather, Snape's deepest anger was unleashed, and Malfoy just happened to become Snape's punching bag.

As for the incident itself, a young wizard insulted a young witch and was then beaten up by the young witch.

Such a minor matter would be settled with a point deduction; it wouldn't even be his place as the Slytherin Headmaster to handle it personally.

So when Dolly breaks Snape's memory of the past, Snape regains his composure and handles the matter properly.

Sure enough, Snape narrowed his eyes, no longer able to regard the girl in front of him as the resurrected Lily.

They only look alike, but their personalities are vastly different.

At least Snape couldn't imagine Lily turning into a wild woman who only knew how to fight; that would undoubtedly destroy his memories of youth.

He spoke in a normal tone—even colder than when he had spoken to Dolly—asking, "So you beat up Malfoy without knowing what Mudblood meant."

"And just now he even complained to me, hoping I would severely punish Malfoy?"

“Miss Dursley, you are very clever, but you are using your intelligence in the wrong place.”

In the second half of his sentence, Snape's voice grew increasingly low, as if he were truly enraged.

After all, being toyed with by a little girl who hasn't even started school yet is not a pleasant experience.

"No, Professor."

Dolly wouldn't let Snape think that way. She pointed directly at Ron and said, "It was Mr. Weasley and Mr. Longbottom who explained the meaning of Mudblood to me, just before we got off the train."

"After I understood the meaning of this word, I was so angry that I was trembling all over, even though I was wearing a robe. My hands and feet were cold in the middle of the night. I couldn't understand why anyone would have such malice towards me. I was so overwhelmed by the pain that I almost fainted in the lake."

"Can this magical world ever get any better? What are we Muggle-born people supposed to do to avoid being bullied? Tears welled up in my eyes."

“I’m telling the truth. You can ask Harry if you don’t believe me.”

Harry, caught off guard, was called out by Dolly and quickly looked up at Snape.

Harry met Snape's hawk-like eyes, and immediately felt a tingling sensation in his head, as if Snape had seen right through him.

Snape used Legilimency on Harry without any mercy.

Of course, Snape knew what was important.

He only accessed Harry's most recent memories, without delving into the deepest parts, as that could not only harm Harry, but Dumbledore would not allow him to do so.

Snape just wanted to find out one thing: whether all of this was a coincidence or Dolly's doing.

Or perhaps, Dolly is using Lily's appearance to tease and deceive him, someone who was heartbroken in the past.

However, from a series of fragmented memories, Snape obtained an answer that left him speechless.

First of all, Dolly didn't tell the whole truth.

Many of her statements contain elements of self-glorification, such as saying that she shed tears because of anger.

She was clearly enjoying it!

She felt great because hitting Malfoy released her pent-up anger!

Snape had to admit that he had been fooled by Lily's thoughtful demeanor.

But Dolly had no problem with principles.

Even though she didn't know the meaning of "Mudblood," Malfoy did indeed swear at it.

Moreover, Lily in the past was indeed a volatile girl, and even with the transformation effect that seemed to be like taking Polyjuice Potion, Snape thought it was a miracle that Dolly was still alive.

After her serious illness, Dolly's personality changed, altering Harry's life in the Dursleys' household and truly turning them into siblings.

This also aligns with Dolly's mentioned idea of ​​turning over a new leaf.

As for Dolly hitting Malfoy... it was just that Dolly used the same energy she used to use on Harry on Malfoy.

Thinking of this, Snape's lips twitched again.

This time, it seems like I really want to laugh.

Imagine James getting beaten to a pulp by Lily, his head swollen from punches... Snape snorted and used Occlumency to interrupt his fantasy.

At this point, Snape had reached his conclusion.

Dolly is just a Muggle-born witch who has awakened magic by chance and is trying to change her past image; she is somewhat cunning.

The biggest problem is that she looks a lot like Lily, and she even dares to scheme against him, a professor.

However, considering that Dolly was not seriously in the wrong, and was even Lily's niece, Snape naturally could not punish Dolly again.

However, Malfoy needs an explanation for being beaten up.

So……

"Potter!"

Harry, who was still patting his head and had no idea why he had a headache, was startled by Snape.

He quickly composed himself and glared back fiercely at Snape.

This prompted Snape to give a cold laugh, saying, "I still stand by my judgment; you're the one who exacerbated the conflict."

“If it weren’t for you, your sister wouldn’t have been scolded or punished. Don’t you feel any shame?”

These words made Harry's heart skip a beat. He glanced at his sister out of the corner of his eye, and finally slowly lowered his head.

"Professor, if you must punish someone, then punish me. This has nothing to do with my sister."

This time, Dolly did not stop Snape.

Since Snape has regained his senses, Harry will obviously not suffer the same treatment as Malfoy.

As for various punishments, Dolly was truly powerless; corporal punishment was commonplace at Hogwarts.

"Very well, since you have confessed, then starting tomorrow, you will clean the Potions classroom for a month."

"And you, Draco Malfoy, will clean my office for another two weeks."

Malfoy looked at Snape in bewilderment; Dolly had been let off the hook just like that.

He glanced at Dolly, then at the dejected Harry… Fine, Harry taking the punishment in Dolly's place isn't out of the question.

After saying that, Snape turned around, and the pressure on everyone's hearts eased.

But at that moment, Snape launched a surprise attack.

"Miss Dursley, do you like red very much?"

46. ​​Second update, Professor, do you know my aunt?
