The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

The reason why Vernon and Petunia in the original book hated Harry was largely because they knew that one day dangerous magic would find Harry again and put their family in life and death danger.

But at that time, Vernon and Petunia obviously did not regard Harry as a relative.

But at this time, Vernon and Petunia would never blame Harry for Dolly's danger.

Because like Dolly said, they are family.

Harry cried even harder now, and Dolly made no further attempt to stop him.

Instead, it left space for Harry, after all, he was just a 13-year-old kid.

But soon, Harry stopped.

He was just releasing the emotions and stress he had been experiencing these days.

Dolly, Vernon and Petunia don't blame Harry, but that doesn't mean Harry doesn't blame himself.

In particular, he knew very clearly who might have been responsible for Harry being thrown into France.

"Sister, there is something I must tell you. I know who is behind all this."

Dolly raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you finally willing to tell me?"

Harry was stunned and looked at Dolly in disbelief. Dolly smiled and said, "Although my defense and positional magic skills are still very basic, not just anyone can come in."

"And they came in without hurting me and just threw me a portkey. It seems like they wanted me to disappear more than they wanted to kill me."

"So who on earth has such ability and motivation? Anyway, I know of only one person."

Harry murmured, "Sister, do you know Dobby?"

Dobby was what Harry had been hiding from Dolly for the past six months. Dobby had approached him during the previous summer vacation and told him that he would be in danger.

She even stopped him from going to Hogwarts more than once, causing him trouble, but Harry always regarded it as some kind of madman's prank.

196 Hermione Stays Tonight

Dolly didn't answer immediately, but looked at Harry calmly.

Of course she knew Dobby.

It's not just because of the plot in the previous life, but also because Dolly and Dobby have already met in this life.

Dory was able to find the diary—well, the holiday notes—thanks to Dobby's guidance, albeit reluctantly.

This is also the reason why Dolly did not continue speaking. After all, there is still a possibility that Dobby and Harry can become friends.

At least now Dolly does not intend to sentence Dobby to death, because he is a house-elf who must obey his master's orders.

"Sister, how much do you know?"

Harry asked a rather boring question, boring because it had no answer.

Dolly knew so much, how could she begin to tell Harry what she knew?

If Dolly said something Harry didn't know, then the confusion would only continue, and more question marks would pop up in his not-so-bright head.

When people face too many problems that cannot be solved but must be solved, they tend to become irritable and angry. Harry obviously also has this problem.

Dolly would not indulge Harry, so she continued to remain silent.

Harry finally realized that he was the one reporting to Dolly.

So Harry quickly spoke up and said, "Let me go first."

Harry then recounted several experiences where he and Duo had met.

It was basically the same as what Dolly knew and guessed.

Dobby's motivations remain the same; he's a house-elf with a kind heart but also a rebellious spirit.

Knowing that Lucius wanted to throw Hogwarts into chaos and kill Harry, the kind-hearted creature wanted to stop Harry from staying in Hogwarts and protect him.

But it couldn't disobey its master's orders, let alone reveal the truth about the conspiracy, and in the end it could only become a poor creature who made things difficult for Harry in every way and ultimately accomplished nothing.

This is how Dobby was in the original book, and now Dobby seems even more pitiful.

Because it had to attack Dolly, it was unknown whether Harry would still like it.

"So Lucius is the mastermind behind all this?"

Hermione stood up excitedly, her face tightened with anger.

This was the first time in her life that she felt the emotion of hatred.

Although she had never met Lucius, she was shocked that Lucius, as a well-known figure in the wizarding world, would hurt a little girl like Dolly.

How can such a person be qualified to live in this world?

"Let's go tell Dumbledore about this now, and then let Dumbledore notify the Ministry of Magic and finally arrest Lucius!"

Hermione waved her fist, demanding legal process in the wizarding world.

Now it was Dolly's turn to teach Hermione the law.

"You may not believe it, but Lucius is a supporter of Fudge, our current Minister of Magic."

"It's almost impossible to prosecute him without evidence."

Dolly's words brought Hermione back to reality.

Her eyes turned red again, and she said unwillingly, "But he wanted to kill you and even sent his own house-elf."

"Can't we just capture this Dobby and try to get the secret out of him using magic?"

Harry even answered for Dolly, saying, "It's highly unlikely. No one would use truth serum or anything like that on Dobby without evidence."

"Unless... we catch it ourselves and use Veritaserum or a spell on it."

"This kind of thing..."

Harry didn't say anything else.

Not to mention the truth serum and the Imperius Curse that makes people tell the truth, these are things that young wizards and even adult wizards are not qualified to touch.

Even the idea of privately sentencing a house-elf to death was something Harry and Hermione couldn't get over the moral hurdle.

Dolly was happy to see this happen, she was worried that Hermione would actually take action to catch Dobby.

Now that the two of them had given up, it was all Dolly had to do to persuade them.

Then Dolly said, "Hermione, I think you understand what kind of intelligent creatures house-elves are."

"Although they can move and cast spells on their own, they are not intelligent creatures with autonomy, so there is no point in targeting them."

"We want revenge, at least revenge on Lucius."

As soon as Dolly finished speaking, Hermione immediately followed up and said, "Even if we can't do anything to Lucius for the time being, we can still take revenge on Malfoy!"

Dolly was stunned and wanted to say that there was no point in bullying Malfoy.

As a result, Harry's eyes widened immediately, as if he had discovered a new world, and he said, "That's right, Malfoy!"

"At the beginning of the new semester, I will make Malfoy regret coming to Hogwarts!"

Dolly put what she wanted to say back in her heart.

Although every wrong has its perpetrator, Malfoy is not hopeless.

But Lucius ended up attacking Dolly when he dealt with Harry, so Dolly didn't feel any psychological burden when she bullied Malfoy.

But bullying Malfoy is really not important.

Dolly waited until Harry and Hermione calmed down a bit before saying, "The most important thing for the next six months is to successfully resolve the Chamber of Secrets."

"as well as……"

Dolly hesitated for two seconds, but still didn't tell anyone about Peter Pettigrew.

This matter is of great importance and also involves Harry's godfather Sirius. If it is not handled properly, it is uncertain whether Harry and Sirius will have the chance to meet again.

After all, even if Dolly and Dumbledore caught Peter Pettigrew, Sirius, who had been wrongly accused and imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, might not be able to clear his name.

That's what happened in the original book.

Although many people saw Peter Pettigrew, Sirius could not escape the fate of being wanted until his death.

This is the downside of a massive bureaucracy.

In order to overturn Sirius's verdict, Peter Pettigrew, who had already been clearly stated in the application, had to be labeled a Death Eater again. There were too many people involved.

Even Minister of Magic Fudge is involved. How can this case be investigated?

Until Sirius died and Voldemort fell again.

Faced with the huge influence that Harry brought, the Ministry of Magic cleared Sirius's name. This shows how difficult it is for the Ministry of Magic to correct its own mistakes.

The conditions in the original novel were like this, and under the current conditions, the possibility of Sirius's case being overturned is almost zero.

So let's wait until Dumbledore catches Peter Pettigrew and let him confront the Ministry of Magic.

He is the only one who can take on the entire Ministry of Magic alone.

Even if Sirius' reputation cannot be restored by then, at least his freedom can be restored.

Dolly actually doesn't like Sirius very much, although he is Harry's favorite godfather in the original book and would die for Harry.

But he has too many character weaknesses and problems, even mental issues.

It can be said that as long as one does not have a sufficient close relationship with Sirius, anyone would think that Sirius is a dangerous person.

Dolly didn't think that just because he was Harry's cousin, he would have a good relationship with Sirius.

In fact, considering Sirius's behavior style, he was thankful that he didn't think of Dolly as someone who stole Harry.

Despite this, Dolly still wants Sirius to be free.

On the one hand, it can provide an additional force to fight against Voldemort's followers, and on the other hand, it is Harry's happiness, so Dolly naturally cannot turn a blind eye to it.

Harry and Hermione looked at Dolly eagerly, waiting for her next words.

Dolly came back to her senses and said, "And finding this diary is so wonderful. It must be a good thing."

Hermione nodded, then shook her head and said, "How about leaving everything to Dumbledore and the professors? After all, you've told him everything you need to know."

Dolly shook her head and said, "Hermione, professors and Dumbledore are not omnipotent."

"Otherwise, how could I be sent to France and why did it take so many days to find me back?"

"So don't think that if we don't provoke them, they won't provoke us."

"Of course, we are no longer the main force in this matter. We can only assist from the side."

Hermione hugged Dolly's arm tightly and nodded seriously.

At the same time, there was a flame burning in her eyes.

It would have been fine if it happened just once, but now someone is trying to hurt Dolly secretly.

Hermione is no longer as helpless as she was in the first grade. Now she is at least as good at spells as the senior students.

Hermione secretly vowed to protect Dolly and prevent her from encountering such desperate danger again.

Hermione felt suffocated when she thought of Dolly walking barefoot in the snow.

"What about me?"

Harry was a little confused. He had thought that revealing Dobby's information would greatly change the situation.

But in reality, after he revealed this information, it had almost no effect except making everyone clear about their opponent.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

By now, everyone is almost fighting with their cards open.

Apart from Peter Pettigrew who is still in the dark, the key to this confrontation is whether the Chamber of Secrets will cause panic in Hogwarts.

As for the plot in the original book where Harry needs to get Voldemort's diary to open the door to the Chamber of Secrets, it is no longer important.

This way, Harry naturally didn't have much chance to participate, and the angry Harry had nowhere to vent his emotions.

"It's easy, Harry."

Hermione gave Harry an idea and said, "Wait until the new semester starts and let Malfoy know what pain is!"

Harry gritted his teeth and nodded. It seemed that this was the only way.
