Although Dolly is Harry's cousin and is destined to be unable to stay out of it, there is a fundamental difference between pulling Dolly in and Dolly joining in voluntarily.

After all, this is a huge challenge involving life and death, and they are not qualified to let a teenager bear all this.

As for Harry, that was an exception; the connection between him and Voldemort determined that he could only take this path.

The professors turned their eyes to Dolly again, as if expecting her to agree to Dumbledore's request.

However, Dolly seemed a little bored. At this time, Dumbledore was still unwilling to give her a clear answer, even though he knew the truth of the matter.

Dolly decided to call it a day.

She had no intention of forcing Dumbledore to apologize. This kind of thing was even more difficult than forcing a school principal to kowtow to Dolly in her previous life.

After all, the person in front of Dolly is not only the headmaster of Hogwarts, but also the most powerful person in the world.

However, Dolly achieved her purpose by doing this.

If Dumbledore didn't want to admit it, then at least Dolly had to let the other professors know that she was not talking nonsense, but had been brutally murdered.

Dolly glanced at the professors, seeing their concerned and distressed eyes. It was obvious that they understood how much Dolly had shouldered over the past six months.

that's enough.

As for Dumbledore's invitation, Dolly was too lazy to participate, as that would be tantamount to openly confronting Voldemort.

Although Dolly is now essentially at war with Voldemort, at least now Dolly does not need to listen to Dumbledore's orders and commands.

He has his plan, and Dolly has his rhythm.

Isn't the goal to destroy the Horcrux?

Actually it’s not that difficult, is it?

All you need to do is find an opportunity, use the Fierce Fire Curse to burn it, and everything will be over.

So Dolly shook her head and said, "Professor, that's too difficult for a first-year student like me."

"Let you handle all of this. I believe that you, Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic will eventually come up with an answer that will convince everyone."

The subtext of Dolly's words is that if Dumbledore still cannot give a convincing result this time, then he will not be able to gain Dolly's trust in the end.

Dumbledore, still smiling, as if pleased with the result, said, "Thank you for your trust, Miss Dursley."

"Then leave the rest to us."

"Please go back to the lounge with the little lions to rest. We still have work to do."

"We can't let Mr. Malfoy wait in the Forbidden Forest, can we?"

129 Chapter 3: The Sweetness of Victory

After Dumbledore said this, everyone realized that there was another Malfoy.

Everyone was not nervous just now because they thought that with Hagrid taking care of him, there was a high probability that nothing would happen to him.

But now everyone knows that there is a vicious Death Eater in the Forbidden Forest, so it is unknown whether Hagrid can protect Malfoy.

After all, in the eyes of most people, Hagrid's wand had been broken long ago, and very few people knew that he could use magic.

Even Snape felt vaguely uneasy.

He is Malfoy's godfather, although taking care of Malfoy is more out of consideration for various interests.

But it was impossible for him to watch Malfoy die, after all, Malfoy was still to his liking.

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on her, Dolly had no intention of continuing to pester them.

She lifted her skirt and bowed like a lady, saying goodbye to everyone, like an actor leaving the stage, and said, "Then I wish you all success in resolving the crisis at Hogwarts."

"I'm waiting for good news from the professors in the dormitory."

After doing all this, Dolly began to pack up her dragonhide lasso and fairy silver shield, and used magic to clean the blood and dust on them.

Afterwards, she thoughtfully helped Hagrid restore the damaged house. The superb repair spell made Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick want to give Dolly extra points.

At this time, the professors finally noticed the dilapidated state of Hagrid's hut and realized how fierce the battle was when Dolly casually mentioned defeating the enemy.

If Dolly had not defeated the troll half a year ago, the professors would have at least asked about the details of Dolly's victory over Quirrell.

But now, they just sighed that Ravenclaw had produced a... powerful freshman, and then prepared to divide the work and enter the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore had his own team, and Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout, who knew herbs, had another team.

Professor McGonagall is temporarily responsible for providing support in the middle, and will enter the Forbidden Forest with Snape's team after Snape returns.

As for Dolly and the others, the professors really had no time to care about them, and they didn't even assign someone to supervise them as they returned to the lounge.

Although Dolly didn't want to cause any more trouble now, she just wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep.

"Sister, are we going back like this?"

Harry saw Dolly was really on her way back to the common room and asked hurriedly. Dolly yawned and looked at him questioningly, then said, "You're not going back to bed. You still want to help find Malfoy?"

"When did your relationship become so good?"

Harry wanted to say something, but seeing Dolly's tired look, he asked instead, "You saved me again just now, sister. You must be very tired, right?"

Dolly gave a relieved smile and sighed, "Yes, Harry."

"Ever since that Halloween party, I've been carrying this huge pressure all by myself."

"After all, I know who the murderer is, but neither you nor Dumbledore believes me."

Harry was stunned, a guilty look on his face.

He tried to explain something, but Dolly raised her hand and said, "I don't blame you, Harry."

"Professor Snape hates you, and you hate him too. There's nothing we can do about it. Quirrell doesn't look like a wicked person."

"If we have to blame anyone, we can only blame ourselves for being caught up in a larger situation. If we don't break through this larger situation, we will never be able to enjoy a leisurely and happy life."

Dolly shrugged and said, "But this year's mission is finally over. From now on, both you and I will probably have an easier time."

Dolly thought about the future.

There is a high probability that the Chamber of Secrets will be opened again next year, because Riddle's diary is still in Malfoy's house.

Even if Dolly knew the secret, she had no way to directly interfere with what was happening. She couldn't go to Malfoy's house and steal the diary.

As for why Lucius threw away Riddle's diary, it was actually an order given by Voldemort a long time ago, asking Lucius to send the diary to Hogwarts.

Lucius didn't know that the diary was Voldemort's Horcrux. Voldemort only told Lucius that the diary was enchanted and could cause chaos in Hogwarts and even drive away Dumbledore.

Malfoy's first year at Hogwarts was a disaster because of Dolly.

Not only did Lucius lose a large sum of gold Galleons, but he also caused Slytherin House to lose more than 100 points by himself.

Malfoy was not attacked by the Slytherin students, obviously because of Lucius and Snape's kindness.

Lucius must dislike or even hate Dolly, but Dolly guessed that the person he hated the most must be Dumbledore.

Because as long as Dumbledore was still in Hogwarts, Lucius would not be able to completely control the entire Hogwarts.

On the contrary, as long as Dumbledore was driven away, it would be easy for Lucius, as the governor and biggest patron of Hogwarts, to punish Dolly.

So in order to drive Dumbledore away and deal with the dark magic items in his home, Lucius still threw Riddle's diary into Hogwarts.

The only difference was whether he would throw Riddle's diary into Ginny's bag.

As for the third year, the key to the events of the entire year was Ron's mouse, Peter Pettigrew.

Dolly calculated her own strength and thought that if she attacked it by surprise, there was a chance that she would succeed directly.

However, considering what happened to Dolly this year, if she directly intervened in Peter Pettigrew's affairs, once the news was exposed, it would inevitably attract more attention and even dissatisfaction from Dumbledore.

This made Dolly doubtful about whether to take action against Peter Pettigrew now.

After all, before Peter Pettigrew was discovered, he was just a harmless rat, and his disgust couldn't disgust Dolly, so Ron could bear everything by himself.

On the other hand, if Dolly took on the pressure that Dumbledore might bring and dealt with Peter Pettigrew in advance, as long as Dolly didn't want to kill him.

Then there is a high probability that Peter Pettigrew will still be sent to Azkaban, and then he will escape from Azkaban and continue to help Voldemort resurrect.

After all, Azkaban is like a back garden for the Death Eaters. Even the jailer of Azkaban, the Eater of Souls, is a fan of Voldemort. How could it be possible that Voldemort's diehard fans could be imprisoned there?

What if Dolly killed Peter Pettigrew?

If the goal is to kill him, then the problem will be much simpler.

It would be enough to just kill the mouse in a place where no one is around. The only person who would be sad would probably be Ron, who couldn't find his pet mouse.

But killing someone is still a little hard for Dolly to accept.

It's not just morally unacceptable, but also because killing in the world of Harry Potter really distorts the soul of the caster.

Dolly doesn't want to bear everything alone and silently bear the crime of being a murderer. If she is not careful, the truth will be discovered and the righteous wizards who don't understand Dolly will label her a villain.

Perhaps the best way is to use a trick.

One day or another, find a reason to force the rat to reveal its true form, and leave the rest of the problem to Snape and Dumbledore.

That way Dolly wouldn't have to bear any pressure or responsibility, and could do her best within the rules.

Although in terms of the result, doing so would return to the old path, that is, sending Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban.

Dolly was thinking as she walked. She and Harry and the others had come to a crossroads where they needed to part ways.

She shook her head and decided not to think about it too much for now. She could use the entire summer vacation to think about it all anyway.

Dolly patted Harry's shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest, and then prepare for your next Quidditch match."

"Qiu Zhang wants to defeat you in your prime. You'd better not let Qiu Zhang down."

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief. "She actually wants to beat us?"

"I bet she must have been dreaming too many good things recently, which is why she came up with such a bold idea."

"Tell her for me that the final victory will definitely belong to us Gryffindor. I will be the first to find the Golden Snitch."

Facing Harry's bold words, Dolly pinched Harry's cheek and said with a smile: "I look forward to the moment when you fall over."

Then he turned and left, leaving the three little wizards with a handsome back.

The three of them stared at Dolly for a long time without looking back, until a cold breeze blew. Ron finally spoke and said, "Your sister was so cool just now!"

"I've never seen a fighting style like that before. It was like the Valkyrie in the legend, using a plate... oh no, using a shield to beat Quirrell until he rolled on the ground."

Ron had wanted to say this for a long time, but unfortunately the situation just now didn't give him the chance to speak.

Neville objected, "But this also means it's dangerous, doesn't it? Harry's sister is the same age as us."

"We can't even cast a complete spell."

Ron suddenly felt unhappy and said, "Neville, don't always boost other people's ambitions. We...at least we are pretty good among our peers, right?"

"Of course, I'm talking about spell level here, not academic performance."

Because Hermione is gone, Harry is the best student among the three new protagonists.

Although it is a bit counterintuitive, Harry's academic performance has always been good, at an above-average level, and he is very talented in some subjects.

But unfortunately, in the original book, Harry had Hermione by his side, so Harry's brilliance in study was completely overshadowed.

Generally speaking, Harry is now at least a low-profile version of Qiu Zhang. He is good at studying and playing Quidditch. Coupled with Harry's title of surviving a disaster, he is bound to become a rising star on campus.

However, the first-grade students were still young, and the envy and admiration among classmates could not create any sparks. Harry didn't even have the awareness of being a star.

This is why Harry looks no different from an ordinary freshman.

"Sister is really tired."

Harry was not as excited as Ron. He was recalling what his sister had done in the past year.

It was not until now that he realized how much pressure his sister was under.

Maybe his sister did have super powers that most people didn't have, but after all, she was the same age as him and should have enjoyed a leisurely and happy life like other students.

It was his incompetence that made his sister bear so much alone.

"Okay Harry, it's over isn't it."

"If you really want to help your sister share the burden, then work hard from now on."

"Anyway, I'm... so sleepy I'm about to faint."
