The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Of course, this is a very arduous task, but judging by how proficient Dumbledore was in casting defensive magic for Dolly's family, he might be quite good at it, so Dolly doesn't need to feel sorry for him.

In this way, compared to the original book where several students' lives were hanging by a thread and they could only survive by relying on the author's blessing, the current Hogwarts is indeed much safer.

Basically, no students will be injured anymore.

This means that Dolly's efforts in the first half of the semester were not in vain. At least she prevented Hermione from colliding with the basilisk again.

But this situation is obviously not what Hogwarts wants.

Peter Pettigrew was a very patient opponent, and Dumbledore couldn't really engage in a battle of wits and courage with a mouse for years.

So this matter still needs to be resolved.

Capture Peter Pettigrew, destroy the diary, capture the basilisk and imprison it or make a specimen of it to completely resolve the locked room incident.

Only in this way can it be considered a complete victory for Hogwarts.

But now it seems that it is difficult to achieve this.

The difficulty here is not that it is difficult in an absolute sense, but more importantly that I have no ideas or clues...

"Could Professor Dumbledore really have lured the rat out of its hole?"

Dolly suddenly thought of something and asked Snape in surprise.

Snape glared at Dolly, as if asking how did you know?

It turned out that Dolly had only guessed, and had not predicted it, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dumbledore has already arranged this matter. Don't make things more difficult for him. It will be resolved in a few months."

Dolly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "How many months?"

"too slow."

"Dolly!"

Snape was about to persuade her, but Dolly made a gesture to stop him and said, "Dumbledore has his own plans. I know this very well, and I accept it. I will not disturb him."

"But I have to avenge myself. I want to find out what's going on in the head of the guy who dumped me in France."

"Then I'll be frank, Professor Snape."

Dolly chose to show her hand: "I might make Malfoy pay a little blood price, but of course I won't let him go to St. Mungo's. After all, I know potions and healing spells."

"But I can't guarantee whether it will be affected psychologically."

"As for the plans and arrangements within Hogwarts, I won't ask about that, but it's best not to let me get involved passively. That's all I have to say."

Dolly looked at Snape.

How much did Snape think of Malfoy?

There are different explanations for this.

One possibility is that Snape really likes Malfoy, and is even Malfoy's godfather, otherwise he would not have made an unbreakable vow and chosen to protect Malfoy with his life.

You must know that once an unbreakable oath is broken, the person who made the oath will be immediately burned to death by the fire of the oath, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

Of course, there is another theory.

That is, the reason why Snape got close to the Malfoy family was purely to rely on the Malfoy family's relationship, so that he could lurk around Voldemort again more conveniently in the future.

After all, the Malfoy family is a group of Death Eaters that are safe on the surface, and they are also the most influential pure-blood family at present.

In addition, Snape was indeed very familiar with Lucius in his youth, so maintaining this relationship became something Snape had to do.

Originally, Dolly didn't care much about this issue.

Anyway, no matter whether Snape really likes the Malfoy family, as long as Dolly doesn't take action against the Malfoy family, there will be no conflict with Snape.

But now, Dolly has to take action against the Malfoy family, or rather, against Draco Malfoy.

After saying this, Dolly looked at Snape carefully, as if trying to read the emotions on his face.

But Snape had no expression on his face and was still brewing the potion.

But in a sense, silence is also a form of thinking.

This shows that the relationship between Snape and the Malfoy family is not just based on pure interests, or that Snape simply regards this family as a tool for revenge.

If this is really the case, then Dolly would even doubt whether he really cares about her master-disciple relationship.

In other words, had Snape sealed or burned away all his feelings other than his love for Lily, leaving only cold thoughts of revenge?

It turns out that Snape is not a cold-blooded revenge machine.

Although he was close to sealing the devil for revenge, he was also filled with resentment towards education itself and the entire Gryffindor House.

But deep down he still has some emotional attachments as a teacher or as a human being.

This is a good thing in Dolly's opinion.

Otherwise, if Snape succeeds in revenge but doesn't have the chance to die, won't he be so depressed that he commits suicide?

"Professor, please tell me straight out whether this will work or not."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind if you told me about your teenage years with Lucius."

Snape rolled his eyes and silently rejected the latter.

He didn't want to talk about that embarrassing experience.

As for Malfoy...

"You cannot use magic beyond the standard level. This is my only condition."

207

Chapter 207 Valentine's Day Plan.

Dolly agreed to Snape's request without hesitation.

Although Dolly verbally demanded revenge and her attitude was very serious, she had no real intention of torturing Malfoy to death.

This has nothing to do with kindness or weakness; Dolly simply doesn't want to break the law.

After all, if you break the law, you will be chased by the Ministry of Magic.

But she doesn't have a talisman like Harry, so she might be punished directly by the confused Ministry of Magic.

Just like Sirius.

Of course, Dolly also wants to make Malfoy completely lose the courage to challenge her, and it would be best to let Malfoy's parents know the pain.

This way, at least she could live a relatively quiet life at school before Voldemort actually appeared.

After saying goodbye to Snape, Dolly had just left Snape's office when she saw Hermione and Qiu Zhang who had come with her.

Apparently, both of them found Snape's invitation to come and visit Dolly quite surprising.

It was still early, so Dolly simply found a lawn and pulled the two of them aside to talk about how to bully Malfoy.

Even though there was no reason to bully Malfoy directly, it was not impossible. In fact, the other colleges except Slytherin would still applaud.

But Dolly still wanted to find a plausible reason, at least so that students outside Slytherin House would not question Dolly's character.

"This is actually quite simple."

Qiu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "The story of you being transported away by the portkey is basically known to the entire magical world."

"Although no one is completely convinced of the process, everyone definitely knows your name."

"That way, if you shout slogans of revenge, no one will think you are deliberately looking for trouble."

"The only question is why Malfoy is targeted as an enemy."

Dolly naturally knew the reason very well, which was that Dobby was the first suspect.

But should we point the finger directly at Dobby?

As for whether to do this, Dolly said she would think about it for a while.

Dolly had no ill feelings towards Dobby, the house-elf, and certainly did not hate him.

Dolly even suspected that the reason she was thrown onto the snowy mountain instead of into the sea was because Dobby showed mercy.

Of course, this suspicion can only be confirmed after seeing Dobby.

Secondly, Dobby died for Harry in his previous life. Even if this friendship has nothing to do with Harry and Dolly in this life, Dolly cannot hate such a loyal house-elf.

The last one was something Dolly suddenly thought of.

If Dobby's fate is to be exiled by the Malfoy family, is it possible for Dobby to become Dolly's house-elf?

Although Dolly also has a house-elf named Dot, it is essentially an employment relationship, and Dolly can only enjoy Dot's help when she is at Hogwarts.

But Dobby is different.

Once he becomes a free house-elf, he will ask wizards to hire him in Galleons.

And what Dolly lacks the least is money.

The monthly salary for hiring Dobby was less than three hundred pounds, which was so much that Dolly was too lazy to pick it up if it fell on the ground.

In comparison, Dobby's strength and usefulness were what Dolly envied, because he could work in Dolly's Muggle family, and when necessary, he could also act as a warrior to protect Dolly's parents.

Dolly's mind became heated at the thought of this.

The idea of dealing with Malfoy became more determined.

However, the three of them have not yet decided on how to do it.

The school has just started, and everyone has plenty of time.

In the next few days, everyone attended classes obediently.

Qiu Zhang also started the new year's Quidditch training, and Hermione began to apply for a time turner from the Ministry of Magic.

Originally, Hermione wanted to keep it a secret from Dolly, because this was Professor McGonagall's requirement that the existence of the time converter must be kept strictly confidential from the beginning of the application process.

Hermione also learned about its existence from an old book in the restricted section.

But Dolly was Hermione's closest roommate. How could Dolly not be curious about the fact that Hermione wrote letters secretly?

So Dolly crept up from behind her and took the letter to read while Hermione was blushing and screaming. By the time Hermione snatched the letter back, it was too late.

Although Hermione pinched Dolly's face and pressed her on the bed to bully her, she could only ask Dolly to keep it a secret and pretend that she had not seen the letter.

Dolly naturally nodded in agreement, since she had just been bullied by Hermione.

When Dolly saw the time converter, her eyes lit up and she remembered this powerful artifact.

Of course, Dolly couldn't say she had forgotten its existence before.

All I can say is that even if Dolly remembered it, she would not be able to get it.

The Ministry of Magic naturally knows the dangers of such a powerful thing, so the time-turner will only be used for special and limited purposes after passing numerous tests and having a guarantor.

Beyond that, there are strict usage restrictions.

As for what a time-turner is, it's simply a device used for time travel that looks like an hourglass hanging on a golden necklace.

The number of times the hourglass is turned represents the number of hours that time goes back.

Starting from the third year, Hogwarts students will have some new elective courses on top of their original curriculum.

As for Hermione, she didn't want to miss any class, so she set her sights on the powerful magic item, the Time Turner.

For this reason, she started applying now, and the application process lasted for half a year before she was approved.

Hermione, who got her, also started to live a crazy life of studying hard, spending almost all her time in class.

Remember that a time-turner simply allows you to allocate your time to the past, such as taking a class that conflicts with your schedule.

But it will not save Hermione's time, and will also increase Hermione's fatigue.

Therefore, Hermione's intensity of attending classes would eventually lead to her becoming sick and then doubting the value of some courses.

For example, as a wizard born into a Muggle family, why should she take Muggle Studies classes when the knowledge in the books was decades or even a century outdated?

Hermione felt like she could even teach the professor of this course.

Then there was the Divination class. Hermione, who was more inclined to rational thinking, could not understand the meaning of this class at all. Of course, this also reflected her lack of talent.

After that, Hermione became less enthusiastic about using the Time-Turner.

After Hermione used the Time-Turner to help Harry save his godfather Sirius, the Time-Turner was returned to the Ministry of Magic by Hermione.
