The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

However, this is not what Dolly wants.

Dolly was originally wondering where to start. Since Snape was in front of him, he decided to find a starting point from Snape.

So Dolly said, "Professor, it's not my style to know who my enemy is and not retaliate."

"You know me Professor. Whether it's a troll or a dark wizard, I will show no mercy."

"My little revenge won't hinder some of Professor Dumbledore's grand plans, will it?"

Snape looked at Dolly in confusion and said, "You know who your enemy is, so how do you plan to take revenge?"

Snape knew that Dolly had an ability similar to predicting dreams, but he didn't know to what extent this ability had been used.

Dolly and Dumbledore had a secret conversation, most of which Dumbledore would not tell Snape.

Because in the future Snape will return to Voldemort as a spy.

Even though Snape's Occlumency was impenetrable, Dumbledore still wanted to reduce the possible risks.

As for Snape, he only needed to know what he had to know and remember to take revenge on Voldemort, and that was enough.

Snape stared at Dolly, afraid that she would say words like Voldemort.

At that time, he would have to take Dolly to see Dumbledore, and the situation would no longer be something he, a professor, could handle.

However, Dolly's answer made Snape feel relieved, but his expression also became strange.

"Of course, Professor."

"You asked me to come here because I wanted to talk to you about this."

"How important are the Malfoy family and Draco to you?"

Snape's face tightened. He didn't expect Dolly to target the Malfoy family.

This question itself was not important to Snape.

But it is very important for Snape's future plan, because he wants to lurk beside Voldemort, and the Malfoy family must be the most important collaborator in this process.

So Snape could not break up with the Malfoy family no matter what.

But Dolly in front of me...

Snape recalled Dolly's pitiful appearance before, and really couldn't say anything to stop Dolly from provoking the Malfoy family.

In the end, I can only say: "Do you have evidence?"

"of course."

"Harry has been being harassed by a house-elf, and I asked the house-elves in the castle."

"The house-elf that was harassing Harry was called Dodge, and it was the Malfoy house elf."

"It might even be him who threw me to France."

Dolly's words made Snape's eyes sharper.

And Dolly's next words made Snape raise his eyebrows.

"I want revenge, Professor."

Chapter 206: Give me a straight answer.

"Ms. Dursley, revenge will not bring you joy or happiness."

Snape looked at Dolly with a serious expression that Dolly had never seen before, as if imparting his life experience.

"Revenge can bring danger to you and put those around you in danger and even unhappiness."

"By contrast, forgetting everything is what makes most people happy. I think you understand this."

Dolly shrugged and said, "Of course I understand this, but not taking revenge means leaving my safety in the hands of others."

"Normally, there's nothing wrong with doing this. The vast majority of wizards in the Muggle world do the same."

"But, Professor, do you remember the question I asked you before?"

Dolly looked at Snape with a sharp gaze and said, "Professor Dumbledore has no intention of helping me to find the person responsible for this."

"In other words, the real culprit behind this may come back to attack me next time."

"Even though home and Hogwarts are safe, there will always be a time when I have to leave both places."

"There's an old Chinese saying: 'A thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days.' Over time, there's always a chance of letting your guard down."

Dolly continued, "Halloween in first grade. Back then, I was still young and ignorant."

"The Christmas attack in second grade was the result of my laxity."

"So what about third grade, and fourth grade?"

Dolly spread her hands and said, "Professor, my personal safety has been threatened and I want to protect myself."

"This is my legal right, but it hasn't been met. Since no one is coming to uphold justice, I have to take action myself."

"I just call this revenge."

Snape shook his head, though he had to admit that Dolly had a point.

But no matter how you look at it, facing these dangerous guys is much more dangerous than going to school at Hogwarts honestly.

And Dumbledore just didn't say he would catch the real culprit behind the scenes, but he certainly wouldn't ignore it.

After all, Dumbledore would never let go of anyone who wanted to harm Hogwarts students, but everything has its priorities.

Just like when we fought against Grindelwald.

Although the final outcome is destined to be a duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

But the battle of wits and courage between the two sides lasted for many years.

Of course, Snape couldn't tell Dolly these truths, nor did he think Dolly would listen.

He had to come up with a more reasonable way to dispel Dolly's doubts, so he said: "You are a smart person. A smart person should not put himself in a dangerous environment, let alone touch the bottom line of the law."

"Even if you do catch your opponent, you'll be sentenced by the Ministry of Magic for it. Is that really appropriate?"

"Dolly, good people are always threatened by bad people. It's not because good people are not proactive or strong enough."

"It's because if the bad guys have even the slightest flaw, they'll be imprisoned. Do you understand?"

Dolly burst out laughing.

She had thought that using the word revenge would make Snape feel deeply.

The result now seems to be the opposite of what we expected.

Snape did feel deeply about the word revenge, but his feeling about it was that he was the only one who went to hell, and the rest of the people just had to wait for his good news.

So when Snape saw Dolly about to take revenge on someone, he tried his best to stop her.

Because he didn't want Dolly to become like him in the future.

"Okay, professor, let's put this topic aside for now and talk about something else."

"How's the Chamber of Secrets?"

When Snape heard Dolly say that she wanted to change the subject, his expression relaxed a little, but when he heard about the Chamber of Secrets, his face became even uglier.

It was obvious that he didn't want to discuss this topic either.

"Miss Dursley, it is clear that you are not qualified to discuss this topic..."

"I do, Professor."

Dolly smiled and said, “Yesterday I was riding the train face to face with a mouse that had a broken finger.”

"You really don't think this is dangerous?"

Snape took a deep breath.

He now naturally knew who the so-called rat was. It was Peter Pettigrew, the one who actually betrayed Harry's parents.

Snape naturally hated Peter Pettigrew to the core.

Although the whereabouts of Harry's parents were leaked, Snape himself also had an unshirkable responsibility.

But Snape had decided to die for Lily.

The person responsible for that incident should have died, but now Peter Pettigrew is still alive. How could Snape bear it?

So when Snape learned this information, he immediately wanted to capture Peter Pettigrew and make him apologize for Lily's death.

It’s a pity that he followed Dumbledore and vowed to obey Dumbledore’s orders in everything, so he could only endure it.

"There's good news and bad news about it, Peter Pettigrew. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Dolly was amazed by Snape's suspenseful look.

It's not that we are amazed at Snape's ability to keep people in suspense. In fact, Snape's ability to be sarcastic is not weak at all.

He could use similar rhetoric to humiliate Harry.

For example, Dolly heard him say this with her own mouth: "The bad news is that Harry, you have lost five points from Gryffindor. The good news is that your friend Mr. Longbottom has lost ten points. You are not the stupidest little lion."

Dolly was amazed that Snape was still keeping it a secret. Could it be that he didn't hate Peter Pettigrew that much anymore?

"good news?"

Dolly answered obediently.

Snape immediately replied, "The rat in Ron's hand is not the original one. It has turned into a real rat. Dumbledore discovered this yesterday."

Dolly was stunned, then reacted and said, "Peter Pettigrew left Ron a long time ago and is carrying out covert activities?"

"That's it."

"How could Ron not have noticed?"

"Actually, he didn't realize it. Maybe to his stupid brain, all mice are pretty much the same. And I heard he absolutely refuses to let other pets get close to his mice."

"If this mouse had any familiar pet friends, it would have been exposed long ago."

Dolly couldn't help thinking that if Crookshanks could get close enough to Ron's rats, he would probably figure it out.

It's a pity that Ron was even more vigilant against Crookshanks than his pet rat. Crookshanks, being very human, was too lazy to bother Ron's rat, which allowed the rat to get away with it.

And Dolly also remembered Ron's words.

That is, this mouse has been eating and sleeping all the time. Ron is worried that the mouse is about to die of old age, so he naturally doesn't care about the detailed differences in the mouse's behavior.

"Let me guess, if it's bad news..."

"A dangerous Death Eater who turns into a rat, wandering through the Hogwarts sewer network with a dangerous diary?"

"Is this also the reason for the new school rules?"

Snape nodded, and Dolly held her forehead.

"Is there no other way, like the Marauder's Map? If three students were able to modify it, couldn't Dumbledore modify it as well?"

"Dumbledore tried."

Snape said calmly, "That map relies on the tectonic map left by the founders."

"But unfortunately, the Hogwarts underground water network was added later and is not on that structural map."

Dolly was about to say something, but Snape spoke first: "We mobilized the house-elves and even the owls."

"But we still couldn't find Peter Pettigrew... Or rather, we found a lot of rats, but we couldn't tell which rat in the sewer was him."

Dolly was silent, taking it all in her mind.

Sure enough, the current situation has become very difficult.

That's right, it's difficult but not dangerous.

That is, everyone has basically revealed their cards, but Voldemort will not retreat so obediently, and Peter Pettigrew will most likely listen to Voldemort.

Anyway, Peter Pettigrew has been a rat for more than ten years, so there is no psychological pressure for him to continue to be a rat in the sewer.

But with Dumbledore's strict defense, even if Peter Pettigrew could come and go without a trace like a mouse, it would be almost impossible for him to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the basilisk to harm the students.

After all, Dumbledore could use magic to seal every secret passage that mice could enter.
