The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

So Dolly said, "But it is indeed the magic potion I brewed, but I just added a little seasoning to it."

"Condiments?"

Snape's mouth curled up slightly and he said, "Then I'm very curious, Miss Dursley, what did you add to make this potion look brand new?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Snape's tone. Obviously, he thought Dolly was just being mysterious, and as a master of potions, he could expose Dolly in the next second.

Snape has countless theoretical experiences, what does Dolly have in comparison?

Sadly, Snape was doomed to be disappointed.

Because Dolly has a cheat.

"I don't know how to describe it, maybe... a little vitality?"

Snape was stunned, but Dolly smiled and said, "Professor Snape, you have never asked me what secrets I have."

"But Professor McGonagall told me that you have guessed it."

"Something in my body suddenly disappears, and as a result, my magic level increases."

"Now I understand that when I lose something in my body, I gain other strengths."

"I call it life force, and I added life force to this potion."

Snape looked at Dolly in shock, he could easily understand the logic.

In fact, there are many magics such as sacrifice in the magical world. Although most of them are black magic, there are also many magics used to cure diseases and save lives.

Hogwarts has always maintained the attitude of not actively teaching but also not actively controlling the dark arts.

Apart from the Unforgivable Curses, young wizards are capable of learning other dark magic, but that is not something Hogwarts needs to worry about.

That's why Snape kept silent about Dolly's abilities, and it wasn't just because of Dolly's appearance.

If Malfoy suddenly gained some dark magic ability, Snape would not take the initiative to ask as long as it did not endanger Malfoy himself or the people around him.

But now, Dolly had given him a reason to care, so he asked, "Why would you do such a thing?"

"Since this power is gained by sacrificing one's body, it should be used on one's own body. Only in this way can the shortcomings brought about by this power be compensated!"

"Miss Dursley, I think I must seriously remind you that human life force is limited."

"Even the purest potion cannot completely repair the damage done to the human body."

"If you don't want to die young, or even die tomorrow, don't waste your life doing this!"

Snape then seemed to have thought of something and said, "Could it be that you can control this ability? That's why you keep asking me for blood-replenishing potions?"

"If that's the case, then Miss Dursley, from today on your blood-replenishing potion is gone!"

"I can't allow my student to use my potions every day as a means of self-harm."

Dolly waved her hands quickly and said, "Professor, what are you thinking... I can't control this ability."

"I've only vaguely grasped some patterns. Now I'm trying not to actively suppress it as much as possible. This way, the amplitude of this ability will be small, but the frequency will be high."

"If I don't do this and instead actively suppress it, when it really explodes, I really don't know what parts I will lose."

Snape's frown relaxed a little, and he chose to believe Dolly's words.

It's not because Dolly's reasons are credible enough, but because he believes Dolly is smart enough.

Such a smart child would naturally not do something like joking with his own body.

"Very well, Miss Dursley. This is the first time you've done anything like this, and I hope it will be the last."

Snape looked at the potion in his hand and said, "As for this bottle of potion, you can take it back."

"There's actually no need to analyze it, because this state cannot be reproduced by human power. It is a magical miracle in itself."

"It's like..."

Snape paused, apparently thinking of a similar miracle because of Dolly's appearance, but such a miracle was obviously unacceptable.

Even the thought of it made Snape's breathing start to change.

Finally, he squeezed out an example that wasn't really an example and said, "It's like our Transfiguration technique. Even if we can create vivid animals, there's still an essential difference between them and real animals."

"This potion of yours only looks like an antidote, but in essence it is something else."

Dolly listened to Snape's interpretation and suddenly felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Perhaps Snape just said it casually, but it made Dolly feel as if everything had suddenly become clear.

Is it possible that the essence of strengthening is to transform something into something similar but more powerful?

Although this understanding seemed useless to Dolly for the time being, she still took note of him and shook her head.

"Professor, this potion is for you. You can try to see if it can dispel the magical damage caused by Lu Wei."

Snape frowned and was about to say something when Dolly spoke first, "I haven't told you why I'm here yet, right? It's not too late to think about it after you've heard it."

Snape then remembered that they were discussing the Philosopher's Stone and Quirrell.

The potion was just an episode, although this episode made Snape unable to remain calm.

Snape nodded and said, "Then tell me."

He took the brewing potion off the stove, cast a series of spells to temporarily seal it, and then sat in a chair and looked at Dolly seriously.

Sealing the potion while it is brewing is actually one of the essential skills of a potion master.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for any wizard to brew some potions that take several months or even half a year to make.

Of course, this is also a very difficult task, requiring a clear understanding and precise control of the changes and status of the potion.

A slightly worse result would be that the entire crucible of potion would be scrapped.

In addition, Snape's serious attitude is also very noteworthy.

It was obvious that at this moment Snape no longer regarded Dolly as a pure child, and began to face the transcendent part of Dolly according to Dolly's wishes.

This is still a risky thing for Dolly, but Dolly feels that it is time to take some risks.

It was better to take the risk with Snape now than to be ambushed the next time.

What's more, Dolly's purpose of coming here was to ask Snape to help her eliminate more risks.

Then Dolly said, "It's the same question, Professor."

"Harry and I have done a lot of research. We know someone is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry thinks that person is you."

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched. Although he had heard such words before, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard it again.

As expected, the famous Harry Potter not only inherited his father's face, but also his father's stupid, reckless, brainless and violent character.

He went to steal the Philosopher's Stone?

Steal?

The Philosopher's Stone has two main functions: one is to turn stone into gold, and the other is to make the elixir of life.

Snape wished he could get his revenge and die tomorrow. As for gold, as a master of potions, he could not possibly be short of it.

The Philosopher's Stone is a treasure in the eyes of others, but to Snape it is just an accumulation.

Of course, Snape couldn't tell anyone else such a thing, nor did he bother to tell anyone else.

If he ran into Harry who doubted him, Snape would only need to continue to mock Harry's stupidity and then deduct points from Gryffindor to maintain his position.

But this doesn't work with Dolly.

Especially when Dolly said again that she suspected Quirrell was the one who stole the Philosopher's Stone.

"But I doubt Professor Quirrell, and not just because I believe he attacked me that day, cast the Imperius Curse on me, and attempted to kill me."

"Moreover, I think Quirrell's ultimate target might be Harry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Snape's eyes became sharp.

Although he still looked expressionless, Dolly could feel Snape's tension and anger.

It is not difficult to see from here that it is true that Snape hates Harry's face, but it is also true that he wants to protect Harry.

However, he wanted to protect Harry not because of the boy himself, but to fulfill the oath he had made over the corpse of Harry's mother, Lily.

This is the fundamental reason why Snape's attitude towards Harry is so conflicted.

"As for the evidence, it's the curse Quirrell cast on Harry's broom during the last Quidditch match."

"He doesn't like Quidditch, he's not the head of any college, and on the surface he doesn't seem to have any conflicts with Harry."

"For a professor to suddenly do this to a student, something beyond human common sense must have happened, causing him to violate human morality and the laws of the Ministry of Magic."

"You know Quirrell's character better than I do. He has changed so much. If he is not controlled by dark magic, then he may have surrendered to some dark wizard who hates Harry."

"Only in this way can everything that happened before be explained."

Snape listened calmly, even touching his chin with his hand, obviously taking Dolly's words to heart.

Snape still doesn't fully understand Quirrell's motives and secrets.

All he knew was that Quirrell had tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone, had nearly killed Dolly, and had attacked Harry.

But what is the motivation behind all this?

If that guy, or the guy behind him, had been targeting Harry from the beginning, then everything would make sense.

He wanted the Philosopher's Stone in order to cause chaos and then find an opportunity to attack Harry.

As a result, he couldn't find Harry, so he chose to attack Dolly. After all, killing Harry's sister would also make Harry sad and painful.

Now he has been silent for several months, not because he has given up, but because he is looking for a better opportunity.

Once this opportunity comes, both Harry and Dolly will be in danger.

After figuring it all out, Snape's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Dolly.

If Dolly showed maturity in coping before, then what Dolly showed now was maturity in thinking.

At least in Harry, Snape saw no such signs at all.

Could it be that Dolly had inadvertently used her strange magical abilities to enhance her own intelligence?

That's not completely impossible.

"It seems that the professor has believed me, so I can tell him the purpose of my visit."

"This potion should help Professor remove the toxins from your body, so that when you recover you can stare at Quirrell with greater intensity."

"At the same time, I also hope to learn more potion techniques from you so that I can prepare for possible dangers."

Dolly smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I can't let you waste your efforts for me and Harry in vain."

"As a reward, if you need anything, such as some potions that require my help, I will definitely not refuse."

"You can think of this as a collaboration. Harry and I are trying to protect ourselves, and you are trying to protect Hogwarts and punish villains like Quirrell. How about that?"

120 Selfish Dolly

Snape looked at Dolly calmly, with a strange look in his eyes.

He seemed neither surprised nor happy, and his attention was not focused on Dolly's bottle of potion.

If it was really the creation of a powerful potion master, Snape might be very excited, and then try to structure and study the potion, and finally get a result that improves his own potion level.

But unfortunately, this potion is a miracle caused by magic.

That's actually not that important to Snape.

Because what he likes and loves is the science of potions itself, and the potion he brews is just a result. He won't feel sorry if there is no result, just like the process of failing to brew the potion.

So Snape originally wanted to reject Dolly's proposal.

His injuries will heal in some time. After all, it is just a three-headed dog, which is quite rare. He needs to spend time preparing the ingredients and brewing the potion.

If Snape, the master of potions, couldn't even deal with the bite of a three-headed dog, his skills were too poor.

As for Dolly's maturity of thought, it was no secret to him.

Dolly's magical talent was also no longer a secret, but he and other professors had not asked about it.

But now Snape remained silent. What on earth moved him?
