She couldn't bear it any longer, so she simply took off her cotton robe and wrapped Dolly tightly.

Even though she felt a bit cold, she was much better off than Dolly, as at least she had a thick sweater and warm fleece underwear on.

Dolly also noticed Furong's thoughtfulness and felt warm inside, which proved that her efforts just now were not in vain.

Although Dolly wanted to enjoy Furong's kindness, she knew that if Furong continued like this, she would probably get sick.

On the contrary, she had been resisting for several days, and her cold tolerance index soared.

So Dolly simply lifted up Furong's clothes and motioned Furong to come in and keep warm together.

Fleur was a little shy, but Dolly was more proactive.

When Furong came to her senses, they were already pressed tightly together, wrapped like dumplings in Furong's cotton robe.

Seeing this, Snow also came and lay down behind the two men, taking a breath and resting while serving as a backrest for the two men.

At this moment, Furong even felt a little comfortable and warm.

Especially Dolly beside her, who was cute, beautiful, brave and elegant. Coupled with her pitiful clothes, she made Furong feel strangely like she had a younger sister.

So Furong quickly let go and simply hugged Dolly so that the cotton robe could be wrapped tighter.

"Furong, are you guys okay?"

The voices of her parents were heard from below the snow cave. Furong quickly replied that she was fine and the snowman had left. Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Gradually, some bold wizards climbed up and took another look at Fleur and Dolly.

Although the two people's appearance is strange, considering that Dolly and Furong's charm both start from 5 points, almost everyone will just think that they are cute.

"Merlin's glove, what's in there?"

"Does anyone know what magical ruins this place once was?"

Magical ruins are real things in the Harry Potter world, and a major source of income for the goblins is to hire wizards to explore the ruins and then take the gold back to Gringotts where it should have been.

Bill Weasley had this job, and he had met Dolly before.

As for what was on the top of the mountain, Dolly no longer cared much.

Anyway, it is unlikely that she would rush up to explore the ruins. Going into dungeons to grab treasures is not in line with her current style, and she no longer has the magic power.

What's more, people from the French Ministry of Magic will be here soon.

Dolly had just thought of this when within two minutes bursts of explosions were heard and Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic swarmed in.

Most of the Aurors managed to stay on the snow, though some accidentally sank one or both feet into it.

However, there are also unlucky people who claim to be familiar with the ski resort environment and perform Apparition according to their original knowledge.

The result was that he burrowed directly into the snow and buried himself.

Fortunately, this is a snow pile. Although the avalanche is mixed with rocks and soil, it is not something hard after all.

If it were a mudslide, these unlucky guys would probably have buried themselves completely underground.

The French Aurors were quite efficient. They quickly sorted out the situation and then used the door keys they brought with them to send everyone away.

Unlike the one-time-use portkeys that Dolly used, the Aurors brought multi-use portkeys.

So everyone present left quickly, and the remaining ones who had escaped on their own and were now washed away to unknown places began to be found by Aurors using some kind of detection magic and were pulled out of the snow one by one.

Dolly originally thought that she could be teleported to the French Ministry of Magic, where she could at least have a meal of vegetables other than meat, take a hot bath, or throw herself on the soft bed and have a good sleep.

But an old official pointed at Dolly and said, "You can't leave, British wizard."

"We now suspect that you deliberately caused the avalanche, which injured more than twenty wizards. Three wizards are still missing."

"Now please hand over your wand and follow us."

"As for your illegal breeding and poaching of magical animals, we will also investigate it. I hope you will not resist."

Furong stared at the person in front of her in amazement, and couldn't help but ask, "You are not kidding, sir?"

"I'm serious, Miss Delacour. I know you're a promising witch."

"So I hope you won't get involved with such dangerous people, otherwise it will only bring shame to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic."

Furong was anxious and wanted to say something, but Dolly pulled her hand and shook her head at her.

Unlike Furong, Dolly at least understood some bureaucratic logic.

At least Dolly has watched "Yes, Prime Minister" more than once.

The logic of this official is actually very simple, that is, there must be someone responsible.

Maybe Dolly can prove her innocence later, but before that Dolly must bear the pressure of the suspect, otherwise the pressure will be on them.

As I said, the British and French were taught by the same master, and their moves are very similar.

181 The Fourth Promise with Furong

In fact, Dolly didn't have such a big opinion about the matter itself.

After all, compared to staying in the snow and ice, there is also warmth in the cell.

What Dolly wants most now is a warm and comfortable bed, a hot bath, and a quilt, even if it is not very clean and tidy.

Anyway, these bureaucrats just want to find a temporary scapegoat for now until they figure out the whole truth of the matter.

Dolly can then be free, and a little wizard like Dolly will not be made to take the blame.

Otherwise, not only will the French themselves not believe it, the British will not accept the truth either.

This is not to say that these bureaucrats have a bottom line, but they simply cannot be treated as fools, otherwise they will be in electoral politics.

Being treated as fools by others almost makes them doomed to miss out on the next position, which is the most unacceptable situation for bureaucrats.

But of course it was impossible for Dolly to just follow the wizard obediently.

So Dolly said, "Sir, you must first find out who I am."

"As for what exactly happened here, it's something we can investigate slowly. I'm not in a hurry."

Sure enough, as soon as Dolly said this, the expression on the face of the official who looked so arrogant just now changed.

The premise of all his actions was that Dolly was an ordinary little witch with no one to rely on.

If the little witch in front of him had a different identity, then the whole issue would have to be reconsidered.

Otherwise, before finding the greatest common divisor that satisfies everyone, he will be the one who makes a huge mistake.

The official's attitude softened considerably, his voice softened, and he calmly asked, "So, Miss Witch, who are you?"

"Dolly Dursley."

Dolly didn't hide anything and began to introduce herself.

"A little witch in her second year at Hogwarts, whose parents are both Muggles."

Hearing this, the official's expression began to turn green, as if he had been fooled.

However, as he continued to listen patiently, a hint of relief appeared on his face, as if he was celebrating his patience, which allowed him to avoid becoming the center of an incident.

"A few days ago, I was sleeping at home and accidentally touched a portkey, and then I was thrown from England to France."

"As you can see, sir, I'm still wearing my pajamas. I've been surviving in the wilderness like this for several days."

"I think my family and friends are very worried and they have probably sent people to look for me."

Dolly pretended to think for a moment, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before you meet Mr. Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts."

"There might even be inquiries from the Muggle world. After all, as you can see, my parents are Muggles."

"They don't have much influence, and at best they have a little money."

Dolly was not lying. How much money did the Dursleys have now?

Or how much money did the Dursleys make from the stock market this year?

Actually it’s not bad, probably less than 10 million pounds.

In other words, Dolly's family has become a wealthy family with assets worth tens of millions of pounds.

This is the result of Dolly's caution, otherwise the amount may be much more than this number, or even several times higher.

Of course, you may also lose everything.

After all, Dolly invests in so-called monster stocks, and their crazy rise may have some unknown internal reasons.

If Dolly's father Vernon invested too much in these stocks, he might not only face wealth, but even danger.

After all, those who operate behind the scenes would probably be very curious about who actually got this fortune.

To prevent this from happening, Dolly even had Vernon use different accounts to conduct transactions and ensure that these accounts only existed for one year.

Of course, transactions that were too complicated were beyond Vernon's control, which allowed the Dursleys to barely squeeze into the ranks of those with tens of millions of pounds in assets.

Dolly is actually very satisfied with this number.

Because it means that their family has the foundation for further investment and the possibility of long-term investment, rather than just gambling on hot stocks.

Although monster stocks are very profitable, the profits are not stable after all.

It is better to invest in more technology companies to make income more reasonable and secure.

Of course, this is not something Dolly needs to consider now, at least until she returns to England safely.

Dolly told this to the official to lead to what she was going to say next.

"Maybe they've already started spending money to look for me in the Muggle world. My pictures are all over the TV stations."

Hearing this, the wizard's face showed a hint of panic.

Because if the Muggle world is involved, then the matter will become very troublesome, and officials are most afraid of trouble.

But he couldn't blame Dolly for what she said, because Dolly was still a member of the Muggle world after all and had her own citizen number in the British Muggle government.

Dolly was missing, and it was perfectly normal for her parents to post a missing person notice and call the police.

But since Dolly disappeared in the wizarding world, Dolly must be sent back to Britain while also giving the British Muggle government a reasonable excuse.

This would require contact between the French and British Ministries of Magic, and ultimately even between the French and British Muggle governments.

It goes without saying how complicated the various paperwork procedures are, to the point that the official now wants to pretend he didn't see Dolly.

And Dolly smiled and gave him the opportunity.

"Of course, if I could get in touch with my parents, maybe I could ask them to withdraw the missing person notice in the UK."

"And tell everyone I'm just a rebellious girl who ran away from home. How about that explanation?"

The official's eyes lit up slightly, and then he no longer dared to treat Dolly as a mere child.

He even looked Dolly up and down, and when he saw Dolly standing barefoot in the snow, her ears were still steaming from the potion.

A trace of recognition and pity also arose in his heart, and he said: "No matter what, your identity needs to be verified by the Ministry of Magic."

"It's certainly inappropriate to make a child like you a suspect, but you should at least stay in the hospitality department of the Ministry of Magic and wait for the truth to come out. What do you think?"

This sentence means that the matter concerning Dolly should avoid legal procedures as much as possible.

Once it is confirmed that Dolly is indeed fine, she will be treated as a victim of magic.

In this way, he and the two Ministries of Magic wouldn't even need to go through any procedures. He would just need to send Dolly back and submit a report and it would be over.

When the official thought about his son and daughter who were still waiting for him to go back for vacation, he felt that this way of handling the matter was absolutely correct.

"Of course sir, a cup of hot cocoa would be perfect, and I shall be sure to praise your kindness when I return to England."

Dolly's words earned a smile from the stern middle-aged wizard. He subconsciously reached out to touch Dolly's head, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

So he turned to Apparate, and when he came back, he had more clothes and shoes in his hands. He said, "They are my daughter's. She is about your age. You should be able to wear them."

"I'm Pim Brent, by the way."

Dolly did not refuse. She took it and put it on, and finally felt a little warmth.

As for why the other party didn't let her leave now or enter the Ministry of Magic, the answer is actually very simple.

The Aurors have taken over and started fighting the snowmen. As a party involved in this matter, Dolly must provide some information.

However, compared to ordinary wizards, the Aurors, who are all proficient in Apparition, Shield Charm and various offensive magics, are enemies that the snowmen are completely unable to fight against.

The Aurors formed a formation and cast a combined Super Armor Charm.
