The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

So Dolly asked word by word: "What do you mean? How can I cooperate with you?"

"It seems you've already guessed it. From now on, please try to go out as little as possible during the entire summer vacation."

"Of course, you can still move around in this neighborhood. When you go out, our people will follow you secretly."

"As for places further away... please prioritize your own safety."

The calmness on Dolly's face disappeared and turned into a dark look.

Was Harry ever grounded like this in the books?

Oh no, Sirius didn’t escape from prison so quickly in the original book.

Just as Dolly had guessed, after Sirius knew that Peter Pettigrew had become his cellmate, he escaped from prison without hesitation.

There was no possibility at all that Azkaban and the Ministry of Magic could stop them.

If that were all, Dolly's evaluation of the Ministry of Magic would be relatively neutral.

After all, Sirius was an Animagus, and he had been punished obediently in Azkaban for more than ten years, and had no thoughts or actions of escaping from prison.

This naturally caused the Ministry of Magic to lower their guard against him, giving Sirius a one-time opportunity to successfully escape from prison.

But now, in order to capture Sirius, the Ministry of Magic not only came to Dolly to set up defenses, but also wanted to put the Dursleys under house arrest.

How incompetent can someone be to do such a thing?

Well, it's not like Dolly couldn't understand.

It's all about safety.

In order to escape Voldemort, didn't Harry's parents also use the Fidelius Charm and hide in a room where they couldn't be discovered?

If Voldemort had not come to power, they might have remained in hiding forever.

Although Dolly and the others were not facing Voldemort now, they did not use the Fidelius Charm, which was a reasonable arrangement in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic.

But Dolly doesn't want to stay at home all summer vacation!

She still has a lot of things to do!

"So, if you can never catch Sirius and Peter Pettigrew, our family will be protected forever and do nothing?"

Dolly narrowed her eyes, not hiding her anger, and said, "It is your job to capture Sirius, but you are punishing us to show that you are doing your job."

In this case, it would be almost like calling Scrimgeour incompetent.

Scrimgeour's expression changed as well, and he glared at Dolly in dissatisfaction.

He naturally knew that the Ministry of Magic had largely failed to do what it should have done and should be held responsible for these things.

But from Scrimgeour's perspective, the Dursleys, as wizards and their families in the magical world, also have an obligation to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.

You can't just betray the Ministry of Magic just because there is a little omission in its work. That would be an act of treason.

Then Scrimgeour stopped looking at Dolly and looked at Dolly's parents. He said, "This is the situation now. You are being targeted by a vicious criminal."

"We need to protect your personal safety and impose some restrictions on your movements."

"Once we catch the murderer, you will return to freedom. I think you can understand the rationality of doing so."

"After all, you don't want to endure the disaster that happened during summer vacation again, right?"

Dolly suddenly felt depressed, because she knew without thinking that her parents would definitely agree.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw the frightened looks in Vernon and Petunia's eyes, as well as the pleading looks from their parents.

Dolly felt a little suffocated, but said nothing more.

Although Dolly herself wanted to leave very much, she knew that Sirius would not hurt the Dursleys.

But her parents didn't know, and Dolly couldn't explain it.

If Dolly forced herself to go out again, the result would probably be that the Dursleys would experience the same emotions they had during last year's holidays.

Dolly still remembered how her parents cried with joy when she first saw them.

It is better not to let them experience such extreme emotions again, otherwise it will be bad for their health.

So Dolly could only calm down and think about whether there was any other way out.

Help the Ministry of Magic catch Sirius as soon as possible?

This definitely won't work.

Sirius was wrongly accused. He ran away with Peter Pettigrew, definitely to find Harry to prove his innocence.

This was Sirius' only wish for life. No matter how much Dolly disliked Sirius, she would not be so twisted as to stop Sirius from doing this.

As for the trouble Sirius's escape from prison brought her, it was essentially caused by the Ministry of Magic's incompetence and deception.

If the Ministry of Magic had been less shameless, Dolly's freedom would not have been sacrificed.

So Dolly couldn't help the Ministry of Magic. The only thing she could do was to help Harry realize the truth as soon as possible and resolve Sirius's issue.

Not to mention overturning Sirius's verdict, in the original book Sirius never enjoyed this until his death.

At least Dolly should reach a tacit understanding with the Ministry of Magic so that the Ministry of Magic will stop making trouble regarding Sirius.

Of course, this is obviously very difficult.

After all, Dolly is now, to put it nicely, a little star in school.

To be honest, the staff of the Ministry of Magic probably only have a vague impression of the name Dolly.

It is simply wishful thinking for Dolly, who is like this, to want to interfere with the operations of the Ministry of Magic.

So let Dumbledore take action?

This is the quickest way.

But on the one hand, Dumbledore would not come from nowhere, and on the other hand, how would Dolly explain the story of Sirius Black?

Although she could use the prophecy as an excuse, Dolly always felt that Dumbledore was not completely ignorant of Sirius's story.

If the prophecy is used again, Dumbledore might not accept it so easily.

Oh, what a headache.

This matter has nothing to do with Dolly, so why is she also grounded?

Her trip to France!

She lives happily and intimately with Hermione and Qiu Zhang!

And Furong...now we really will see each other next year.

"He, his target is me, right?"

At this time, Harry spoke.

Looking at his sister's distress and the Dursleys' fear, Harry said loudly: "Since his target is me, can't I just change places?"

"For example, your Ministry of Magic must have a place where I can be protected safely. I can just stay there."

Harry became more and more confident as he spoke, and looked at his sister happily, only to see a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"You mean, let us leave you alone to enjoy the holiday?"

Dolly's words left Harry speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Harry said, "I just don't want your plans to go to waste, sister. You're all looking forward to this summer vacation..."

"But not as important as your life, Harry."

"Of course, this won't necessarily cost you your life. But as a family, we won't abandon you. Do you understand?"

Dolly's words made the smile disappear from Harry's face.

Harry felt a little depressed because his plan to stand out was interrupted.

But looking at the sincere eyes of the Dursleys and his sister, tears glistened in Harry's eyes and he nodded.

Dolly tilted her head. Although she spoke beautifully, she also meant it sincerely.

But she knew very well that, ultimately, Harry had to stay with the Dursleys this summer so that he could replenish the energy of family affection and love.

Otherwise, the spell on Harry might no longer work.

In other words, Dumbledore would be the first one to disagree with abandoning Harry with the Dursleys and living happily on his own.

Sure enough, I can only stay at home?

Dolly was a little distressed. Then she looked at Scrimgeour and said, "Because of your mistakes at work, my family has to bear the risk of being grounded. You should give us some compensation, right?"

Scrimgeour subconsciously tilted his head slightly. Dolly's words were really beyond his comprehension this time.

"I'm sorry Miss Dursley, but the Ministry of Magic is protecting you now, and several Aurors are working 24/ without pay. In this situation, do you think we should compensate you?"

"of course."

Dolly responded calmly, “No matter how hard you work, it’s not our fault. This is you making up for the mistakes you made.”

"If that's the case, why should we share the responsibility?"

Scrimgeour almost laughed out loud.

It’s not entirely because of the logic in Dolly’s words, but more because of Dolly’s attitude.

A little girl actually wanted to bargain with him and the Ministry of Magic like this. Did she think she was the second Dumbledore?

"If Miss Dursley really feels that we are doing unnecessary things, we can evacuate and you can move freely."

"Just hoping that in a month I won't see the Dursleys and Mr. Potter's death notices in the Daily Prophet."

This time, Dolly didn't look at her parents' expressions. Instead, she said calmly, "Okay, I couldn't ask for more."

"On the contrary, I think the other party may not be in the mood to retaliate against us, otherwise they would have escaped from prison long ago."

"Maybe they have already gone abroad to enjoy a free life and never plan to come back."

Dolly continued, "Go away, Mr. Scrimgeour, please don't just talk the talk."

Now it was Scrimgeour's turn to be silent.

The Ministry of Magic and his purpose, ultimately, is to capture Sirius and then cover up previous mistakes and work errors.

So they were the ones who took the initiative to ask for something, and protecting Dolly was just an excuse.

These words could not be said, and Dolly was sure they would not dare to say them.

That was why Dolly could ask them for compensation so righteously, and even though the Ministry of Magic seemed to have enough reasons to refute Dolly, it did not dare to really break up with her.

So the two sides stared at each other mercilessly for a whole minute.

It took long enough for the Dursleys to calm down and realize that something was amiss.

They had always had great faith in Dolly's intelligence, and now it seemed that their daughter might have discovered something they had not noticed.

The Ministry of Magic is not just doing this to protect them, but it seems like they have to do it on their own initiative.

"Tell me, what conditions do you want?"

Scrimgeour couldn't help but speak, suppressing his anger. He didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter.

Because he knew very well that Dolly had the ability to summon Dumbledore.

It’s better to satisfy the little witch’s curiosity.

"I want a time-turner."

Dolly's eyes lit up and she spoke immediately.

226

Chapter 226 Big Black Dog.

"I can't give this to you!"

Scrimgeour jumped up.

He naturally knew and understood the time converter, and he also knew how much harm it could cause if used incorrectly.

Even he looked at Dolly suspiciously, wondering why Dolly wanted a time-turner.

Is it so that he can escape the protection of the Ministry of Magic after getting it?
