In addition, Dolly asked Diandian to pay attention to the people who were walking around the castle at night and see if anyone was carrying a diary.

Finally, when Dolly is free, she takes the Marauder's Map and monitors the person she thinks is the most suspicious.

Including but not limited to Ginny, Harry and even Malfoy.

Although the probability of Lucius letting his son bring the diary into Hogwarts in person was almost zero, Dolly still considered it as an option.

What if Lucius loses his mind?

In this way, Dolly began her busy daily life in the new year.

Apart from the annual Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolly's other classes were no different from those in the first grade except for the content.

In addition, the course pressure this year has increased, because starting from the second grade, if you fail the final exam, you may be held back or even expelled.

After all, Hogwarts is an almost completely free school, not a non-profit nursery.

Of course, except for those who are born with intellectual disabilities, it is basically impossible to fail the exam at this stage.

Ordinary young wizards can also spend five years at Hogwarts and finally obtain a completion certificate.

Another person who must be mentioned is Lockhart.

Because Lockhart lost face when teaching Dolly and the others, he simply stopped taking any creatures to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

What he did was to have the young wizards read the novels he compiled and then have them role-play the plots in them.

Although this approach seems a bit childish, in a sense it is actually a good teaching method, allowing young wizards to know what to do in specific scenarios.

The only regret is that Lockhart cannot teach any spells.

This task could only be done by the best students in the class, and Lockhart said that he was leaving the opportunity to outstanding students.

For this reason, he gave out such a terrifying bonus of 10 points more than once, so much so that Professor McGonagall had to find him and ask him to control the extent of the bonus.

However, many people could see that the 10 extra points were just a way for Lockhart to bribe the student leaders.

Hermione, who was next to Dolly, often got 10 points, while Qiu Zhang, a third-year Ravenclaw, often got 10 points.

While idling around and trying hard to perform, Lockhart's reputation was even better than in the original book. At least he didn't appear in any embarrassing situations in front of Harry.

So many students still have illusions about his ability.

But this didn't matter to Dolly anymore, because she could see clearly in the dormitory, and Hermione was too lazy to read Lockhart's novel.

For Dolly, this has achieved her goal.

Dolly can then devote herself to the process of finding the diary in addition to studying.

However, as the days passed, Dolly inevitably became anxious.

She had thought that her life at Hogwarts this year would be simple and enjoyable.

After all, as long as she finds the diary, she can completely prevent the secret room from being opened.

As for the method of destroying Horcruxes, there is actually more than just the basilisk's teeth. Dolly can try to learn Fiendfyre first.

She made her own wand to facilitate this goal.

But Dolly never expected that she would get stuck at the very beginning.

Where is Voldemort's diary?

For a whole week, Dolly had no clue, and even began to wonder if Lucius had changed his mind.

Or maybe without Dolly knowing, the diary has returned to the plot and is in Ginny's hands again?

Of course, based on this suspicion alone, Dolly naturally couldn't confront Ginny directly, and could only investigate Ginny as a suspect.

So Dolly found Luna.

"Luna, can I ask you a question?"

"can."

Luna tilted her head slightly, looking at Dolly curiously.

Although Dolly and Luna had talked several times this week, they were just simple exchanges of greetings and did not deepen their friendship.

On the one hand, Hermione dragged Dolly to study the new year's courses, and on the other hand, Dolly had to use the Marauder's Map to search for her target, so naturally she had no time to make friends with Luna.

Dolly was not in a hurry about this matter.

After all, unlike Qiu Zhang, the rebellious girl in the original work who started dating boys in the third grade, Luna did not have any obvious emotional inclinations until graduation.

After all, in the eyes of most people, Luna is just a crazy girl. They are too busy trying to avoid her, so how can they have a deeper friendship with Luna?

In addition, Luna is one year younger than Dolly, so even if Dolly wants to make friends with Luna, it won’t be too late to wait another three years.

But today, when it comes to finding Voldemort's diary, Dolly has to rely on Luna.

"Have you ever made friends with Ginny?"

Dolly asked in a tentative tone. In the original book, Ginny was one of Luna's few friends.

So if we want to check whether there is this diary next to Ginny or in her room, Luna is definitely the most suitable person.

As for why Dolly didn't go herself, Dolly was worried that Ginny really had the diary.

If Dolly acted rashly at this time, she would be facing Ginny and the young Voldemort. He would most likely be alert and let Ginny be wary of Dolly in turn.

That would be more trouble than good for Dolly.

Luna blinked her silver eyes, obviously waiting for Dolly's explanation, because she needed a reason to make friends with Ginny.

Dolly hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell her about the diary.

But Luna spoke first and said, "I can go and make friends with Ginny. We've talked twice."

"So, is there anything I should be aware of?"

Dolly looked at Luna in surprise, even suspecting that Luna saw through everything now, otherwise why would Luna be so considerate?

But then Dolly reacted.

Luna was just doing her best to fulfill the wishes of Dolly, her only friend, even though this friend didn't intend to tell her the reasons for doing this or the secrets behind it.

None of this mattered to Luna.

As long as Dolly needs it, that's enough.

Dolly suddenly felt speechless.

Looking at the girl in front of her who was a whole head shorter than her and seemed even thinner than her, Dolly felt a sense of inclusion that she had never felt from the little wizard before.

It was as if Luna was the older one.

But this situation is unreasonable. What on earth did the 11-year-old girl go through, or what kind of mentality did she have, to do such a thing so naturally?

Dolly exhaled softly and said, "We need to pay attention to whether she has any sudden growth or nervousness, or if she's holding anything unusual."

"If possible, it would be best to go to her dormitory and take a look."

Dolly still stated her request. Luna nodded and said, "It might take some time to visit her dorm. Is a week okay?"

Dolly nodded, and Luna smiled with relief. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Dolly grabbed Luna's shoulder.

Luna was holding a book and looking at Dolly curiously.

Dolly reached out to help Luna straighten her messy collar, and used her wand to help Luna re-tie her sloppy braids.

Then he said, "If you find it too troublesome to braid your hair yourself in the future, let me do it."

"It's a simple task anyway, how about doing it every day at breakfast?"

There was a hint of excitement in Luna's sparkling silver eyes, but she shook her head and said, "If I become friends with Ginny, I can ask her for help, right?"

"You must be very busy lately, right?"

"I can feel that you are very tired and anxious."

"Relax, I believe that with your ability, you will be able to solve everything smoothly."

Dolly couldn't help laughing after hearing these words of comfort from Fan Tiangang, and said, "Thank you, Sister Luna, for your comfort."

Luna was stunned, then her face turned red and she shook her head repeatedly, as if she wanted to say that she was just speaking the truth and had no intention of teasing Dolly.

But the bell for preparation rang, and she could only say goodbye to Dolly and run away.

Dolly was left alone looking at the direction Luna left. She couldn't help laughing as she imagined Luna's somewhat embarrassed expression.

As expected of Luna, so cute.

Well, very cute and serious, absolutely no improper thoughts!

Dolly was not idle after that.

Since it is difficult to find the diary by her own strength, Dolly also plans to activate more powers.

Thus, the research on dragon skin entered a new stage. If monitoring equipment could be installed at some key points in Hogwarts, then no matter whether it was the little wizard holding the diary or the basilisk, they would have nowhere to hide.

With this arrangement, another week passed.

Luna and Ginny really became friends, which surprised Dolly.

Is it easy for Luna to make friends, or is it difficult for her to make friends?

In the original book, Luna was ostracized and even bullied by her roommates, and few people liked her. So why did she act like a social butterfly in front of Ginny?

Dolly couldn't help but discuss the subject with Hermione.

For the past half month, Luna's strange condition has been gradually emerging.

This includes but is not limited to weird sayings and, most fatally, strange cheap decorations, as well as serious explanations for these decorations.

Especially when everyone knew that she was the daughter of the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler magazine, such doubts gradually began to heat up.

But the sight of Dolly occasionally helping Luna comb her hair brought this rising temperature to an abrupt halt.

Everyone can see that Dolly and Luna have a good relationship. Even for Dolly's sake, no one will easily cause trouble for Luna.

"Maybe she and Ginny get along well, just like you two."

Hermione said this with an incredible look on her face.

Because in her opinion, Dolly and Luna are completely two different people.

Dolly is very pragmatic. Although she is a little lazy, she will work harder and focus more than anyone else if she has a goal.

On the contrary, Luna always seems to be daydreaming. When talking to her, you often don't know what the other person is thinking, and even doubt whether the other person is listening.

At least Hermione herself would never like Luna. What she could not accept the most was that others did not listen to her, and what she could not accept the most was that others did not understand what she said.

Dolly shrugged, unable to explain it to Hermione.

Although Luna always looks like she is daydreaming, she is actually a qualified Ravenclaw. She understands the current situation better than anyone else and understands people's thoughts and feelings.

But Luna will not easily change herself because of this, or do things that go against her will in order to please others.

This is Luna, too sincere and frank, coupled with a little fantasy, which makes people feel that she is neurotic.

Seeing that Ginny and Luna became friends, Dolly began to look forward to getting answers.

Finally, on a weekend night, Luna knocked on Dolly's door.

Dolly quickly opened it and saw Luna standing at the door.

"Come on, come in."

Dolly smiled and pulled Luna into the dormitory.

Hermione, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa reading a book, waved at Luna, then picked up a bag of potato chips and said, "Eat it! It's a light flavor, you should be able to accept it."

Luna stared at Dolly's dormitory in amazement. Looking at the dazzling array of electrical appliances, she felt as if she had come to another world.

Luna grew up in the wizarding world and knew nothing about the technology of the Muggle world. At most, she knew a little bit from books and newspapers.

So when she saw the complete set of electrical equipment in Dolly's dormitory, even Luna showed a look of fear.

But Dolly pushed Luna onto the sofa without saying anything, stuffed Coke and potato chips into her arms, and said, "Want to try it?"

"This is our Muggle way of life. You are our friend from now on. You must come visit us."

"So, how about we start with some food, drinks and fun?"
