The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly accepted Dumbledore's apology directly, which surprised Dumbledore and made him feel a little depressed.

He had tried really hard to find Dolly, but now he had to apologize to Dolly... Well, he did have reason to apologize, as Dolly said next.

"As you said, I did not disappear in Hogwarts. In theory, I should be responsible for my own safety."

Dolly stared at Dumbledore and said, "But is this really something we can be responsible for?"

"Two Muggles, two second-year wizards, facing a possible sneak attack from adult dark wizards and Death Eaters, don't Harry's father's former companions really want to do something?"

"Or are they unable to do anything and can only watch Harry face danger and eventually grow up in danger?"

Dumbledore started to say something, but Dolly stopped him.

"I know what you're thinking, Professor Dumbledore. Actually, I don't object to Harry growing up in the face of danger."

"But this danger should be kept out of the Dursleys' house. I think you would agree with this, right?"

"It was me this time. I happened to have the wand in my hand, so I survived."

Dolly then spoke slowly, "What if the people teleported out are my parents?"

"For example, if I didn't wake up in time, it was my mother who woke me up."

"She saw some strange objects on my bed and picked them up to help me put them away, but ended up being sent to a foreign country in the snow and ice."

"Dumbledore, I cannot accept that scene."

Dolly's anger was no longer concealed.

She really didn't feel too angry about being cheated. After all, it wasn't the first time.

What really made her angry and dissatisfied was that the attack took place at the Dursleys' house.

If the other party can attack her, they can also attack Dolly's parents, but Dolly's parents have no ability to deal with it.

If this matter originated purely from the Dark wizards' hatred for the Dursleys, then Dolly would not have made things difficult for Dumbledore.

But now both of them knew that this attack was ultimately caused by Harry.

In the original novel, the reason why Vernon hated Harry, was extremely afraid of magic, and refused Harry access to magic was largely because he was worried about the previous situation happening again.

But similar situations still occurred.

Although the other party's actions this time were partly a prank, Dolly even guessed who did it.

But as Dolly said, her parents couldn't withstand such a crisis.

The crisis ultimately comes down to the fact that the Dursleys raised Harry but did not receive corresponding compensation and protection.

The Dursleys no longer cared about things like compensation. Harry had truly become a member of the Dursleys' family, and talking about money would hurt feelings.

But the only thing that Dolly could not pretend not to see was safety.

If Dumbledore wanted Harry to continue living peacefully in the Dursleys' home, he had to come up with a solution.

Dumbledore fell silent, considering all this carefully.

In fact, he could not deny that after knowing that Dolly was teleported to France without a wand, he had prepared for the worst and believed that there was a high probability that Dolly would freeze to death in a foreign country.

But then he found out that Dolly had learned how to make wands from Ollivander and had taken away a second wand, which gave him his last hope.

This is also the reason why Dumbledore was able to persist in looking for Dolly. He held on to hope and had to give Harry hope and give an explanation to the Dursleys.

Otherwise, how to communicate with Harry in the future would become a huge hurdle, and Harry might no longer trust him from then on.

Now Dolly is still alive and well.

But Dumbledore lost his chance to get away with it because Dolly brought the issue up again.

Dolly needs to be safe.

The Dursleys, in particular, needed real security, security from being attacked by Voldemort's remnants.

If this safety could not be guaranteed, Dolly would not kick Harry out of the Dursleys' house, but there would naturally be no need to inform Dumbledore about how Dolly and Harry would deal with it afterwards.

If Dumbledore cannot even meet this condition, or deliberately fails to do so, then there will naturally be no trust between the two parties.

There was no way Dolly could confide in someone who would use her and her family as expendable pawns at any moment.

After a long pause, Dumbledore finally spoke, "So, Miss Dursley, what kind of security measures do you wish to have? I can't just assign a professor to guard your home."

183 Chapter Dare to Kill My Dog

Dumbledore said this in a joking tone, which is why it was difficult for Dolly to truly like Dumbledore.

He likes the art of language very much and hopes to solve many problems through dialogue. To put it bluntly, doesn't he just like to fool people?

This trick worked well for young Harry, but for Dolly it was an insult to her intelligence.

So Dolly said, "That's not funny, Professor Dumbledore."

"And I believe that you can mobilize more people than just professors."

"But don't worry, I haven't thought of having anyone guard my house 24 hours a day."

"But you personally came to my house to set up a series of defensive spells. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "I don't require anything on the Fidelius level, but at least you should set up something like the Anti-Apparition Charm, right?"

"At least that way, I won't be transported to a foreign country in the snow by a door key that suddenly appears by my bed."

Dumbledore could only nod. This matter was indeed not difficult for him.

But if they actually did that, it would mean that the Dursleys had been and might be attacked, which was actually a very bad sign, like drawing a red circle on a target.

How to explain Dumbledore's understanding?

In Muggle terms, it's the broken windows effect.

If a brand new car is parked on the side of the road, it is highly likely that no one will touch it, let alone smash it, because everyone understands its importance and knows that damaging it will have serious consequences.

But if the car is in tatters or has its windows smashed, then it may be scrapped soon.

The same principle applies to the Dursleys.

In the past, the Dursleys did not have any magical defense measures, and Harry lived here openly, so it was not difficult for dark wizards or Death Eaters to investigate this information.

But Harry had never been attacked since he was a child. The reason was that no one dared to take the initiative. Everyone was worried that Dumbledore would monitor the place and appear to subdue them the second before they could attack Harry.

In other words, the undefended Dursleys were almost a declaration from Dumbledore that he could show up at any time to protect the Dursleys.

However, when Dumbledore actually set up a series of magic in the Dursleys' house, it was equivalent to telling everyone that the silent declaration of the past had failed.

Dumbledore couldn't always take care of the Dursleys, so if anyone wanted to avenge Voldemort, there was a chance they would succeed.

After breaking through Dumbledore's magic, all they had to face were two little wizards and two Muggles.

Dumbledore wanted to tell Dolly this truth, but Dolly spoke first because she had already guessed what he was thinking.

"Professor Dumbledore, a false peace cannot last."

"I don't want my family and I to be the first victims of the veil being torn off, or for you to actually send someone to live in our basement to protect us."

"Of course, if it's a female wizard, it's not impossible for us to free up a room in our house."

Dumbledore couldn't help laughing, speechless at Dolly's blatant discrimination.

But things had come to this point, and it was obvious that he could no longer be trusted if he tried to tell Dolly that the Dursleys were safe.

He could only rely on magic to help the Dursleys stay safe, as Dolly said.

As for taking Harry out, Dumbledore did not mention it, and Dolly would not say it either.

On the one hand, because Harry has become a member of the Dursley family, Dolly, who is about to become a family hero, will never allow Harry to leave his family like this.

On the other hand, even if he did so, it would be too late. Dolly had already been on Voldemort's list, and she might still be the target of Voldemort's followers.

Even this possibility is greater than the possibility of them attacking Harry.

After all, Harry is the one who killed Voldemort. The Death Eaters may not have the courage to attack Harry, but they are very brave to attack Dolly and Dolly's Muggle parents.

They probably still have some, and they may even be very big.

This is also the reason why Dolly asked Dumbledore to increase the protection measures for the Dursleys. A kind-hearted Dobby has caused her so much trouble.

So what about the big black dog that escaped from Azkaban?

Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

and many more……

When Dolly thought of Sirius, a light bulb went off in her head and she felt like she remembered something.

Just as she was frowning in distress, Dumbledore interrupted Dolly's thoughts again and said, "I will take care of this matter when we get back."

"The Fidelius Charm is indeed troublesome for Muggles, but I will do my best to prevent the magic from affecting your parents' lives and ensure their safety."

"At least it won't be like you, where others won't have a clue what's happening once you're in danger."

Dolly nodded, acknowledging Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So when are we going home, Miss Dursley?"

"For your parents, for your friends, for Harry, and for the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts."

Dolly raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there something wrong with the secret room? They threw me here, so they must be planning to attack the secret room, right?"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "That's where the problem lies."

"The secret room has not been opened, and there is no sign of the monster inside coming out. It seems that everything has become calm."

"The calm before the storm," Dolly replied.

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Professor McGonagall and I believe that the other party is waiting for the start of school."

"After all, only by killing the students can Hogwarts be forced to suspend classes. Otherwise, there is no point in opening the Chamber of Secrets again now."

"That depends on you, Professor Dumbledore. When will you open the Chamber of Secrets and get rid of the monster inside?"

Dumbledore straightened his back, his eyes becoming much sharper. He said, "We'll deal with it tomorrow. Do you want to get involved, Miss Dursley?"

As he spoke, Dumbledore smiled broadly and said, "I have heard that you have a very strong talent for Transfiguration."

"I look forward to you becoming another master of Transfiguration, surpassing even me and Professor McGonagall."

Dumbledore meant what he said.

Although he and Dolly had more conflicts than cooperation until now, Dumbledore was sure that Dolly was not on Voldemort's side.

Perhaps Dorrie will be the next Scrimgeour, who hates him but insists on justice and becomes a pillar of the wizarding world.

Dumbledore warmly welcomes such talents.

After all, he didn't plan to live forever. Once Voldemort was eliminated, he could die gloriously and start a new journey.

Dolly would probably not even be 20 years old by then. No matter how much Dolly hated him, what would it have to do with him since he was already dead?

"Thank you for your invitation, Professor Dumbledore, but I'm really not interested in this matter."

"After all, I'm not a battle fanatic."

After Dolly finished speaking, she saw Dumbledore's suspicious look, as if asking: Are you serious?

Dolly cried out for injustice, saying, "I have always been passively defending myself. When have I ever attacked anyone?"

"Dumbledore, there's a limit to how you look at people through tinted glasses!"

Dolly said it loudly, but it was obvious she was joking.

It's because her golden finger is Miss Gate, not some combat and fun system. Otherwise, she might be the first one to rush into the secret room and kill the basilisk.

"Since you don't want to participate, then I'll have to go into the sewer with the professors."

Dumbledore sighed, then smiled gently and said, "Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow I will arrange the paperwork for you to leave France and return to England."

Dolly asked doubtfully, "Then what I did can be written off, like casting spells in the wild, eating a wild boar, and killing many animals, most of which were probably rare and protected species."

"But I'm sure there won't be any magical beasts eaten by me."

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head. “No one would be harsh on a young wizard trying to survive in the wild. Otherwise, the French Minister of Magic would surely be laughed at by the entire International Confederation of Wizards.”

"Besides, you've saved so many people. The fact that the French Ministry of Magic didn't award you the Knight of Roland's Badge already proves that they are very petty."

Dumbledore blinked, then stood up and said a final goodbye to Dolly, "Sweet dreams, Miss Dursley. I'll be here around nine tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Dumbledore was about to leave.
