The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

But now Dolly doesn't have to worry so much, because there is only one name in front of her.

However, this person's name was not Quirrell.

Cassidy Bolton.

...Who are you?

Dolly could guarantee that she had never heard of this name before, and it was impossible for this person to be an adult in Hogwarts.

What's more, this person is still in Quirrell's office.

Thinking of this, Dolly decided to rush in and find out what was going on.

But in the end Dolly let go, not because she was worried that the person inside would bring her danger.

Dolly had already grabbed her small silver shield beneath her robes, ready to fight.

Dolly thought that perhaps she should step back to avoid alerting the enemy.

Dolly had to admit that the last time she exposed Quirrell, that is, taking off Quirrell's headscarf, was undoubtedly a successful attempt to alert the enemy.

Voldemort had to leave Quirrell's body temporarily and hide in a rat in a gutter, waiting for Quirrell to feel safe before taking him back.

Although Dolly felt relieved when she thought of Voldemort's tragic fate.

But compared to resolving Voldemort's crisis in one go, Dolly felt that there should be fewer actions like this that only vented emotions but did not produce good results.

For example, now, Dolly could certainly expose the problem in Quirrell's office and let Dumbledore know that Quirrell brought a stranger to Hogwarts.

This is a taboo in Hogwarts, which means that unidentified dangerous people can sneak into Hogwarts.

But this will hardly have any result except alerting the enemy.

Quirrell wasn't fired for attacking Dolly, so he probably won't be fired for what he's doing now.

Only by eliminating the crisis of Voldemort can Dolly feel truly at ease.

Thinking of this, Dolly quietly retreated and found Snape instead.

Snape looked at Dolly in surprise and said, "If I remember correctly, we finished our study for this week yesterday."

"Well, Professor, I'm here because I need your help with something."

Snape nodded calmly and methodically sealed the potion he was brewing before saying to Dolly, "What's up?"

"Something seems off about Quirrell."

Snape frowned and said, "What did you find?"

Dolly tilted her head slightly and continued, "Anyway, how about you go to Quirrell's office first? I can't give you an accurate answer right now."

Snape stared at Dolly for a second and finally chose to believe Dolly.

Then he walked out of the office at such a brisk pace that Dolly had to jog to keep up with him.

When Snape arrived near Quirrell's office, the leg that had been bitten suddenly stiffened and he began to limp.

Seeing this scene, Dolly was stunned for a moment, thinking that her potion was ineffective.

Dolly then quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, and then she realized that Snape was pretending to be hurt.

When did Snape become an actor?

Oh no, Snape has always been an actor, someone who can act in front of Voldemort.

It's just that he was too lazy to act like this before.

Snape came to Quirrell's office, banged on the door, and said, "Professor Quirrell, open the door!"

The thudding sound made Dolly take a step back and hide in the darkness, fearing that Snape and Quirrell would start fighting.

After a few seconds, under the threat of using magic if Snape didn't open the door, the door finally opened.

Quirrell came out timidly and said timidly, "Professor Snape, what brings you to see me so late?"

"You said you could help me prepare the Arioth leaves. How are you doing?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Quirrell's eyes, and he said quickly: "Sorry, Professor Snape, give me a little more time, I'm not ready yet."

"It's been a week, Professor Quirrell!"

Snape grabbed Quirrell's collar, his face expressionless, his eyes hinting at ferocity.

Quirrell was almost frightened and cried, "Three days, give me three days to teach you, and I will buy it with a large sum of money!"

Snape then let go of Quirrell, snorted coldly, and limped away.

Quirrell closed the door hastily, as if frightened.

Soon, Snape and Dolly joined up.

Dolly was about to speak when Snape had already resumed his normal walking posture and said, "Let me ask you a question, Miss Dursley. What is the leaf of the Ariot?"

Dolly answered without hesitation, "Alioth is a magical tree, also known as the hyena tree. The leaves of this plant can cause hysterics and uncontrollable laughter. The heartbreak bug produces a syrup that acts as an antidote to the effects of the leaves of the alioth."

"Chopped Alioth leaves can be used as an ingredient in a laughter potion. If you stir the potion too vigorously after adding the Alioth leaves, the laughter-inducing effect of the leaves will be destroyed."

"Very good, one point for Ravenclaw."

Dolly laughed happily, and then asked curiously, "Professor, did you really ask Professor Quirrell for the Ariot leaves?"

"No, I just said it casually."

Snape's eyes were cold, and Dolly said admiringly, "It seems you have also discovered that the Quirrell in front of you is a fake."

"Of course I smell Polyjuice Potion."

"That idiot should never have spilled Polyjuice Potion on his collar."

Dolly showed a look of realization.

Polyjuice Potion can fool most people, but it is easy to reveal its flaws to Snape, the master of potions.

There's absolutely no reason for Quirrell to brew and consume Polyjuice Potion, and yet you're shocked to find that he smells of Polyjuice Potion, which only proves that the Quirrell in front of you is a fake.

"In this way, many of the things we suspected have come to fruition."

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the doubts in her heart were completely resolved.

For example, why Voldemort was no longer in Quirrell's body before, and where Voldemort went.

It turned out that Quirrell had found another unlucky guy and asked him to act as his substitute from time to time, while Quirrell himself could take the opportunity to do something.

For Quirrell, who holds the Imperius Curse, controlling an unlucky person to take the Polyjuice Potion is not a difficult task at all.

"What should we do next, Professor? Should we tell the principal about this?"

Dolly asked casually, but the tone of her voice rose a little involuntarily.

Dolly could be very cheerful and generous in forgetting some minor holidays.

For example, when facing Malfoy, Dolly never took the initiative to retaliate against him, right?

But the only thing Dolly could never forgive was Quirrell using the Imperius Curse on him.

Snape did not answer directly. Instead, he stopped and looked at Dolly seriously, as if he was thinking about something.

Dolly was a little overwhelmed by Snape's gaze for a moment, and asked in a strange tone: "Professor, did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just want to ask... Miss Dursley, how much do you know?"

Snape looked at Dolly appraisingly.

If Dolly only wanted to avenge Quirrell for using the Imperius Curse on him, then Dolly's target was Quirrell himself and she was unaware of Voldemort's existence.

In this case, Snape should stop Dolly from taking revenge on Quirrell. After all, since it involves Voldemort, even Snape cannot guarantee that he can escape unscathed.

At Dolly's age, it's too early for her to get involved in this.

If Dolly knew about Voldemort, then the problem would be even greater.

How did Dolly know all this? Was it her precognitive ability or did someone tell Dolly and push her to do all this behind the scenes?

The relationship between Snape and Dolly is no longer an ordinary professor and student relationship.

Although Dolly did not officially become Snape's teacher, or the master-disciple relationship between the two was not made public.

But Snape seemed to have treated Dolly as a promising heir.

Although Malfoy was more in line with this requirement in terms of status and identity, Snape thought that Malfoy's talent was no different from that of an ordinary person, and he looked down on him at all.

Taking care of Malfoy was more due to Lucius's wealth and status, and also to prepare for Snape's return to Voldemort in the future.

"Professor, I cannot answer this question."

Dolly said calmly, "Because I don't understand what you are asking at all."

"Then let me put it another way, Miss Dursley."

Snape didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, because he and Dolly had a tacit understanding not to reveal each other's bottom line.

Otherwise, if Dolly asked him about his relationship with Lily, Snape would be completely unable to cope with it and would not be able to clean up the situation afterwards.

Then Snape said, "You are planning to take revenge on Quirrell by sending him to Azkaban."

"Still planning to find out why he attacked you. What conspiracy is behind this?"

Dolly's eyes lit up slightly as she understood what Snape meant.

Snape is absolutely loyal to Dumbledore, so it is impossible for him to reveal any information about Voldemort to Dolly, even though he and Dolly are master and apprentice, as this involves Dumbledore's big plan.

If Dolly wants to know the secret behind Quirrell, then Snape can only stop Dolly from pursuing it further and prevent Dolly from being involved in unknown dangers.

Furthermore, if Dolly revealed that she actually knew Voldemort's secret, Snape would most likely drag Dolly to see Dumbledore, which was obviously something Dolly could not accept.

She didn't want to be just one of Dumbledore's pawns in some grand scheme for the greater good.

Then the only option left for Dolly was to not pursue the conspiracy behind the scenes, point the finger at Quirrell, and seek revenge.

In other words, Dolly can investigate the secret behind Quirrell on her own, but Snape cannot get involved, otherwise he will definitely reveal Dolly's secret to Dumbledore.

Understanding all this, Dolly smiled and said, "Of course, the goal is to bring the criminal to justice. As for what dark thoughts he has, I don't care."

"As a normal and ordinary student, why should I try to understand the thoughts of prisoners?"

Snape showed a look of relief and said, "In that case, you can choose to expose the secret of the fake Quirrell when you think it is appropriate."

"But you have to understand how dangerous it is to anger a dark wizard who is skilled in the Unforgivable Curses."

"You are a Ravenclaw student. You should think about this matter yourself and bear the consequences yourself."

Dolly nodded to show that she understood.

Snape turned and left without saying any more nonsense.

Now that he has discovered Quirrell's secret, the next thing he must do is confirm where the real Quirrell is.

When Snape thought about how he had been deceived by that timid Quirrell for so long, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

Watching Snape's departing back, Dolly suppressed the urge to take out the Marauder's Map.

Although using the Marauder's Map could allow Snape to handle all subsequent matters, Dolly knew how important this map would be in the future.

It can not only be used in the development of the plot, but also... ahem, to prevent Dolly from being attacked by someone when she is doing something.

Dolly naturally couldn't tell anyone else about this use, so it was better to keep the Marauder's Map with her.

Of course, the above are just secondary reasons.

The main reason is that Harry and the others are still in Hagrid's Hut.

Although Hagrid promised Dolly not to let Harry and the others go to the Forbidden Forest, who knows if any unexpected situation will happen now?

Dolly went straight to the Room of Requirement, and sat with Dot to enjoy Muggle snacks, while monitoring Hagrid's Hut to make sure Harry had a safe night.

At this time, only Harry, Ron, Neville and Malfoy were left in Hagrid's hut.

Malfoy had just gone through a difficult choice.

Whether it was confronting Harry and the others in the cabin, or patrolling the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid.

After much thought, Malforth still felt that the Forbidden Forest was more terrifying than Harry and his two companions.

But now that he was being stared at by six eyes from three people, Malfoy already felt a little regretful.

Will he... get beaten?
