Hermione's face was filled with astonishment, and she and Dolly finally began to think and discuss the matter.

In the end, the two came to the conclusion that they had to meet with Luna and Qiu Zhang to stop this unnecessary speculation.

If she still didn't get an answer by then, maybe Dolly should tell Dumbledore about it.

At least Dolly had to control the person holding the diary as soon as the secret room was opened for the first time.

In the evening, after dinner, Luna and Qiu Zhang were taken to the dormitory by Dolly and Hermione again.

Seeing Dolly and Hermione's serious expressions, Qiu Zhang asked sharply, "What happened?"

"Could it be that you were struck by the diary's black magic?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "If that's the case, it might be a good thing."

"The problem now is that the diary is missing."

"We can't even be sure we actually got it."

Hermione also spoke up, explaining the whole story.

Afterwards, the four girls looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Qiu Zhang also reacted at this time and said, "Luna and I may also be suspects?"

"To be precise, it could be all four of us."

To ease the atmosphere, Dolly continued, "Because this diary can be used to deceive people, although normally it doesn't have that much power."

"But when it comes to magic, no one can give a 100% guarantee, right?"

Qiu Zhang then asked, "So what should we do to prove each other's innocence?"

"Can I take you to search my dormitory? Or is there some other magical means to prove all this?"

At this moment, Luna, who had been looking around silently, suddenly spoke up and said, "Perhaps we should get the professors involved."

"This matter may have gotten out of our control."

Hermione nodded as well, obviously agreeing with this.

But she and Luna still looked at Dolly. Dolly was silent for a moment and said, "Let's try to look for each other's dormitories later. If we still can't find it, I'll go see Dumbledore."

Hearing this, Luna let out a long sigh and even smiled faintly.

This struck Dolly as odd, but Luna simply tilted her head and smiled, looking a bit confused and mysterious as always, so Dolly didn't care.

Next, Dolly and Luna formed a group, and Hermione and Qiu Zhang formed a group.

They went to Luna and Qiu Zhang's dormitories respectively, rummaging through the drawers and causing a little chaos.

However, since the owner of the luggage was present, the others naturally didn't say much.

As for the result, of course there was nothing.

Just as the diary disappeared from the flames and the fireplace, it had never been in Qiu Zhang and Luna's luggage.

"I'm going to find Dumbledore."

After the four of them reunited at Dolly's dormitory door, Dolly spoke.

Hermione advised, "Perhaps we should write a letter to Dumbledore first and then visit him if he agrees?"

"I'm worried it might be too late."

Dolly shook her head and said, "Just wait here for me to come back. It shouldn't take me long."

After saying that, Dolly hurried away, leaving the three girls looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Forget it, let's go wait for her to come back. What do you want to eat?"

Hermione opened the dormitory door and invited Luna and Cho Chang in.

Now that Dolly was gone, she seemed to have become the hostess, or perhaps the host, attentively entertaining the two guests.

At first, Hermione was a little embarrassed, but she soon enjoyed it, especially when she saw Qiu Zhang's absent-minded look, she felt a sense of victory.

Dolly, on the other hand, came to the Hogwarts principal's office.

This office is located on the eighth floor of the castle and has a gargoyle at the entrance.

If the command is spoken correctly, the gargoyle will leap aside and the wall behind it will split in two, allowing entry via a hidden spiral staircase that slowly moves upwards.

Of course, Dolly couldn't know the password because it changed at any time.

So Dolly just said calmly to the gargoyle: "Professor Dumbledore, I know you can hear me, but I want to talk to you about something."

Sure enough, less than half a minute after Dolly spoke, the door opened.

From inside came Dumbledore's voice, saying, "Good evening, Miss Dursley. I didn't expect you to visit."

"I've changed into my pajamas, I hope you don't mind."

"of course."

Dolly strode forward and entered the principal's office.

Although I have learned about this more than once from the original book, this is the first time I have seen it up close with my own eyes.

The first thing you see when you enter the room is the circular office whose walls are covered with portraits of former principals, all of whom are snoring softly in their respective frames.

Many spindly-legged tables held an assortment of odd silverware, while the Sorting Hat sat on a shelf, essentially Dumbledore's collection.

Finally, there was an old bird perched on a branch behind the door.

This is a phoenix named Fox, and he is about to be reborn.

Phoenix is such a magical animal. It always resurrects and is reborn again and again in order to reject the most terrifying thing, which is death.

As for the Sorting Hat in the cupboard in the distance, although Dolly saw it, she had no chance to communicate with it.

Because Dumbledore had already walked out of the headmaster's bedroom, looking a little hurried.

Before Dolly could speak, a man in a painting began to mock Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, are you getting senile? You're dressed like this to meet a little witch... Let me ask you, what's your name? Are you a pure-blood family?"

The person who spoke was full of annoying aura, and that domineering attitude was engraved in his bones.

Dolly looked at his name and, as expected, it was Phineas Nigellus Black, the most hated headmaster in Hogwarts' history.

It is not difficult to see from his name that he is related to Sirius Black by blood.

This is indeed the case, as his great-great-grandson is Harry's godfather, Sirius Black.

All I can say is that the surname Black is full of people with bad tempers.

So Dolly answered directly with a smile, saying, "I am a Muggle, a pure-blooded Muggle, sir."

"And his grades are better than all the pure-blood students in the same grade. This is really strange."

Faced with a hanging painting, Dolly naturally had no need to be patient.

So Phineas was naturally enraged, so enraged that he jumped up and uttered the word he was most familiar with.

"Mudblood..."

However, the next second, the sleeping principals woke up in shock.

Everyone looked at Phineas in shock, and then a group of people started to criticize him.

Even a tall principal jumped into his portrait and punched Phineas in the face.

The entire quiet headmaster's office seemed to have turned into the noisy Hogwarts cafeteria in that instant.

Dumbledore, who was originally holding the wand and wanted to turn over the portrait of Phineas, now stood there in a daze watching the noisy scene, feeling a little amused and helpless.

Finally, Phineas ran away screaming and ran into his portrait in the Black mansion, and the principal's office returned to silence.

"Are you okay, kid? I hope what that old bastard said just now didn't hurt you."

This time, the person who spoke was a gentle headmistress named Delys De Winter.

She is not only the headmaster, but also a doctor at St. Mungo's Hospital, so in history, Delise De Winter was a very popular headmaster because her concern for students was sincere and effective.

Dolly also smiled gently at the principal.

She lifted her skirt and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Professor Devonte. It's a pity that I can't learn magic from you anymore."

The other party was slightly stunned, but Dolly took out her willow wand and skillfully cast a healing spell.

Seeing this scene, Daisy Devonte couldn't help but start applauding, and many people applauded Dolly.

Because Dolly looks like she is only in the second grade, but she has such a proficient level of healing spells.

If Delis Devonte hadn't died, she would even have considered taking in a disciple.

After the applause died down, Delys De Winter said, "I used to think you were a rose with thorns, but now I understand that you are a lily that would rather break than bend."

Dolly thanked Dilys de Winter again before looking at Dumbledore.

At this moment, Dumbledore was watching all this with interest with his hands behind his back, as if he was the guest and Dolly was the host.

162 Chapter 2: Explosion in the Dormitory

Dolly couldn't tell what Dumbledore's mood was, but she believed that Dumbledore would not be angry because of Dolly's actions.

So Dolly spoke directly and said, "Professor, are you still listening?"

"Of course, Miss Dursley."

Dumbledore sighed softly and said, "I was just sighing. You really don't look like a little wizard."

"Although I've seen students who aren't afraid of me, you're the first student who's not afraid in front of so many principals and even managed to piss one of them off."

"So is this considered a compliment?"

Dumbledore guided Dolly to a seat and said, "Let me just say that this has once again clarified for me how I should get along with you, Miss Dursley."

"Whatever you want to talk about today, no matter how long you want to talk, I will be a listener until you want me to express my opinion."

Dumbledore sat down in the headmaster's chair in a slightly lazy manner.

Then he asked the house elf to prepare hot cocoa and candy for Dolly, and said, "A little sweet thing before bed will help you sleep."

"No need for candy, I'm on a diet, Mr. Principal."

Dolly said this half-jokingly, but it was Delis Devonte who took a fancy to Dolly and began to remind Dolly to take care of her health.

She seemed to regard Dolly as an indispensable member of St. Mungo's Hospital in the future.

However, Dolly still took a sip of hot cocoa as a return for Dumbledore's hospitality, and then said, "Professor, although I came to see you, I can't tell you everything."

"It's like, you can't tell me everything."

Dumbledore gave a wry smile and said, "Miss Dursley, with just one sentence you have elevated our conversation to a point where it is difficult to continue."

"Are you still upset about what happened last year?"

"I nearly died, Professor."

Dolly said seriously, "I know you have your plans and goals, and you have greater interests you want to pursue, but I must prioritize the safety of myself, my friends, and my family."

"Nothing means more to me than this."

Dumbledore stared at Dolly, and Dolly looked back at him fearlessly.

Although Dolly's willpower is only 3 now, Dolly has accumulated 15 attribute points in the past month.

If Dolly needs to, she can instantly increase her Willpower to 6.

In addition to the buff that can be activated by the magic wand, Dolly's willpower can also be stacked to the maximum level.

If Dolly doesn't believe it then, Dumbledore can use Legilimency to break through her willpower.

However, Dumbledore did not use Legilimency in the end.

After all, Dolly in front of him was not an ordinary student. Dumbledore had decided not to use temptation or other means to stimulate Dolly easily, because that would only have the opposite effect.

Even Dalys de Winter could see that Dolly would rather bend than break, so how could Dumbledore possibly bend Dolly at this time?

"I understand you, Miss Dursley."

"I can apologize to you here for my unfair judgment last year, and I also promise to do my best to protect the lives of you, your partners, and your friends."

"Of course, like you said, I also have my goals."
