But now, Dumbledore had to explain.
The purpose is just to prevent the relationship between the two sides from being too stiff. After all, they are all people around Harry. If the relationship with these people deteriorates, Harry will definitely be affected by them.
Dumbledore couldn't possibly replace everyone around Harry.
Then Dumbledore said, "Miss Dursley, and Mr. Potter's friends."
"I can assure you that Mr. Potter will not be in any danger. At most, he will be tired and will need to rest for a few days."
"Besides, Mr. Potter took the initiative to get involved in this matter. No one asked him to do this, and this was not his task."
Dumbledore still did not reveal the relevant secrets and his motives for setting all this up.
It's far from the right time now. Not to mention not telling these people in front of me, I can't even tell Harry.
At least Dumbledore could not tell Harry about the fate he faced until he had the courage to face life and death.
Before that, Dumbledore decided to let Harry and his companions continue to grow.
It was just a little infamy, but he took it.
"I understand your nervousness and anxiety, but at least believe me, as a principal, I will not easily watch students in the school get hurt or die."
"Everything that is happening now is what Harry has to go through. You all know how special Harry is."
"As for the details, Harry will selectively tell you after he recovers."
"And I won't say any more nonsense."
"Now it seems like it's time for me to come on stage."
Dumbledore smiled slightly and strode towards the black flame door.
The next second, some kind of orange flame rose from his body, wrapping him up and fighting against the black flame. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he walked straight into the door and entered the next room.
Dolly was left looking at the flaming gate through which Dumbledore disappeared, and she slowly put down her wand.
The friends behind Dolly thought she was angry.
However, they did not see that Dolly had a smile on her face, as if she had received a satisfactory answer.
133 Girls' Hunger
Dolly's visit this time seemed to have yielded no results.
He didn't touch the Philosopher's Stone, and he couldn't even help his brother. Even when he questioned Dumbledore, he didn't get any useful answer.
However, Dolly let her friends see Dumbledore's attitude at the time.
This seemed to be an insignificant matter. A few little wizards could not shake Dumbledore's position, nor could they even put a black mark on Dumbledore's reputation.
However, for Dolly, she now has several more steadfast allies, with whom she can communicate more directly in the future if anything happens.
This is the most important thing to Dolly.
Not only that, if Dolly wants to do anything in the future, even if it involves Voldemort.
As long as Dumbledore's plan is not destroyed, it will be difficult for Dumbledore to intervene in Dolly's actions from a moral high ground.
If Dumbledore insisted on intervening, Dolly and the others could bring up what happened today and let Dumbledore know that they had the freedom not to stand on Dumbledore's side.
Because Dumbledore cannot truly guarantee that no one will be harmed, students naturally have reason to stand up to protect themselves and their companions.
Of course, if Dumbledore wanted to intervene forcibly, no one would be able to resist given his strength.
But Dolly didn't think that she and Dumbledore would go that far, after all, their ultimate goals were the same.
It's just that it's difficult for both sides to reach an agreement on details and policies, and it's also difficult to communicate equally and effectively.
In this case, let both sides act on their own and reunite one day with the greater goal of defeating Voldemort.
By then, there would be no conflict between Dolly and Dumbledore.
Dolly sighed, picked up the retreating potion and drank it.
Then, under everyone's nervous gaze, he walked through the purple flame gate and returned to everyone.
After Dolly passed through the flaming gate, the purple flame on the gate automatically went out.
Hermione and Cho Chang immediately gathered around to check if Dolly was okay.
Ron said indignantly, "Since Dumbledore was here, why didn't he stop Quirrell earlier, and why didn't he save Harry earlier?"
He actually wanted to ask, why didn't Dumbledore come to save him?
Although his life was not in danger, being hit by the statue and then fainting on the ground, shivering on the cold stone ground, was not a pleasant feeling at all.
On the contrary, Dolly's healing spell made him feel as if he was immersed in a warm furnace. At the critical moment, his friends could still be relied upon.
"He said Harry is special."
Neville tried to explain, saying, "Harry is the Boy-Who-Lived, maybe... eh?"
As a result, Neville was at a loss for words after just a few words.
Dolly was not surprised by this. Harry's problem could not be explained in a few words.
Because the most crucial part of Harry's problem is the protective magic of love that Lily cast on Harry.
Even for Dumbledore, this magic was an incomprehensible black box.
Without understanding the setting, theoretically no one would be able to guess the relationship between Harry and Voldemort.
Although Dolly knew, she obviously couldn't say it, otherwise she would really destroy Dumbledore's plan and harm his great interests.
So Dolly said, "If Dumbledore doesn't give us an answer to this matter, I will call my parents."
Dolly's words shocked the remaining people.
However, just as Dolly thought, several people immediately expressed their support for Dolly.
"Dolly, I'll ask my parents to help, too."
Qiu Zhang was the first to respond, and Hermione continued, "My parents don't understand magic, but perhaps they can educate our headmaster about the treatment of students from a Muggle perspective."
"Making sure our lives are not threatened should be the most basic thing, right?"
Even Ron and Neville expressed their willingness to tell their parents about this.
As for whether the parents will support them or beat them up and then support Dumbledore, that is not something they can guarantee.
Dolly thanked them.
Dolly didn't really want to overthrow Dumbledore, and Ron's parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix who unconditionally supported Dumbledore.
Dolly was just using this method to establish a motive for her behavior that would convince everyone.
As it turns out, she succeeded.
Soon, the black flames went out.
Dumbledore came out holding Harry, and Dolly went to meet him without thinking.
Dolly's friends behind her also followed. This time, after they passed through the stone gate, the purple flames did not rise again.
Almost everyone looked at the stone door in surprise, and now everyone instinctively had an idea that Dumbledore could even directly control the fire here!
Whether it was the purple flame, the black flame, or Quirrell and Harry's challenges, or the difficulties encountered by everyone, all of this was under his control.
Of course, this was just the thought that everyone had.
No one can prove the authenticity of this speculation.
But the ideas that are rooted in everyone's mind do not need to be 100% verified.
Just like Harry believed that Snape was the one who stole the Philosopher's Stone, unless Dumbledore came up with solid evidence and a statement that convinced everyone, this idea would never disappear from everyone's mind.
"Tell me he's alive and well."
Dolly stared at Dumbledore, and at this moment her anger and nervousness were not a disguise.
Although everything seems to be going smoothly from Dolly's perspective, what if something unexpected happens?
For example, why didn't Quirrell use his hands to grab Harry directly, but instead used magic to control physical objects to attack Harry?
He could easily use his wand to control the Mirror of Erised, and then use the huge magic mirror to hit Harry on the head. No matter how strong Harry's protective magic was, he could not resist such an attack.
If Harry really died, given the current relationship between Harry and Dolly's family, it would be a heavy blow to the Dursleys.
Fortunately, this time the story developed according to Dumbledore's script.
"Quirrel has been destroyed, and the one who destroyed him was Harry, thanks to the special magic in Harry."
Dumbledore chose his words carefully.
He had just seen Harry punch Quirrell in the face, and then the protective magic on Harry destroyed Quirrell's face.
Then Harry smashed Quirrell's head with his punches and even wanted to punch Voldemort.
This means that it is impossible to completely exclude Dolly and the others. Just look at the way Harry fights to know how much influence Dolly has on him.
Moreover, if he continued to say nothing, it might cause Dolly and the others to have a rebellious mentality. Then they would try to persuade Harry together, and Harry might stop trusting him.
Then Dumbledore's subsequent plans would not be able to be carried out.
So he goes on to say, "Quirrel was a follower of You-Know-Who and tried to avenge You-Know-Who, but ultimately died at the hands of Harry."
"That's what makes Harry so special. There are some things he's destined to do on his own, and all we can do is support him."
Dumbledore said, hoping to get some positive feedback from Dolly.
However, Dolly just took Harry and used a levitation spell to let Harry lean against her side before saying, "Mr. Headmaster, all I want now is to see Harry wake up safely."
"You don't want my parents to show up at Hogwarts tomorrow and personally check on Harry's injuries, do you?"
"I know you have your considerations, but I also hope you don't forget that Harry is just a 12-year-old little wizard."
"If the wizarding world needs to be protected by a 12-year-old child, then such a world is too ridiculous."
Dumbledore was speechless.
Dolly was right. If the world really needed 12-year-old Harry to protect it, it would be ridiculous.
At least until Harry is close to graduation, that is, when he is sixteen or seventeen years old.
Before that, he had to train Harry and let him grow up slowly.
So what left Dumbledore speechless was not Dolly's last words, but the fact that Dolly planned to ask the Dursleys to come.
He could only emphasize again, "Harry is fine. He may need to rest for a few days. There is no need to bother the Dursleys."
Dumbledore certainly couldn't be afraid of the Dursleys, but he found it a headache to deal with them.
If they really caused a scene at Hogwarts, and Dolly, the little witch, added fuel to the fire, Dumbledore would have to apologize to the Dursleys in person.
It would be better to apologize to Harry, at least it would help to cultivate the relationship between the two of them.
"I hope so, Mr. Principal."
Dolly didn't say anything else. She would consult Harry's opinion on whether or not to tell the Dursleys about this matter.
After all, Harry was the one who was truly hurt in this matter.
But if Dolly encounters a friend getting hurt again in the future, she will not remain silent so easily.
Dumbledore obviously understood this, as can be seen from the dissatisfied attitudes of Dolly and those around her.
This made Dumbledore feel a sense of crisis as he watched everyone leave.
Maybe he really should change his mindset a little, such as paying more attention to the circumstances and growth of the people around Harry.
Otherwise, it might become unknown whether Harry, whom he has carefully trained, will still stand on his side at that time.
Dolly, who had just brought Harry to the room where the Devil's Snare was, saw the professors returning in a hurry.
Seeing Harry unconscious, everyone was frightened. Snape was the first to rush over, looking at Harry eagerly and asking, "How is he?"
Dolly replied calmly, "Alive, Professor."
"Also, professors, can you put Fluffy up there to sleep for a while? I'm taking Harry to the hospital ward."
Professor Flitwick said, "Don't worry, Miss Dursley, it has been kicked out of Hogwarts."
"Merlin's beard, why are there so many people here?"
