The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

But that wasn't something I saw with my own eyes; I heard it from several professors.

Now he finally witnessed firsthand how a 12-year-old witch could overpower an evil dark wizard with her exaggerated physical strength.

If he were to fight Dolly one-on-one, would he be able to win?

After glancing again at Dolly's practiced movements as she swung the silver shield, Hagrid thought he'd better not even entertain the idea.

That silver shield now seemed to him like a deadly weapon.

“Of course we should inform Dumbledore. Let Dot handle this matter.”

Dolly did not reject Hagrid's offer, nor was she worried that Dumbledore would continue to favor Quirrell.

Dolly could tell that the flesh came from Quirrell's waist and abdomen; in other words, Dolly had made a huge hole in Quirrell's stomach.

Such injuries cannot be healed in a short time, and even with the magic potion, Quirrell absolutely cannot pretend to be fine anymore.

The Halloween attack will finally come to a conclusion, and Dolly will receive the justice she deserves, though it is now belated.

"Hagrid, please stay here and protect them."

"And there's something else..."

"Malfoy is missing!"

Neville's exclamation drew the attention of several people.

They looked back and saw Tooth pacing anxiously at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, clearly having caught a whiff of Malfoy.

"Damn it, what is that brat up to, going into the Forbidden Forest at this hour?"

Hagrid immediately gripped his umbrella tightly, preparing to search for Malfoy's trail.

"Dolly, I have to leave here."

“We all hate Malfoy, but we absolutely can’t let anything happen to him today. Things are chaotic enough here already. Could you please take care of them?”

"No, we can take care of ourselves."

Harry stepped forward. He could see that Dolly was hesitant; clearly, Dolly had her own goals.

However, Dolly said, "It's not impossible to do it here, it's just a bit rushed."

"Hagrid, go ahead and do your work. As for us here..."

Dolly raised her wand high and used all her magic to unleash the Fireworks Charm.

Suddenly, a burst of bright fireworks exploded above Hagrid's hut, an act that immediately attracted the attention of many students.

As for the professors, they naturally sensed that something was amiss, but they did not rush to act; instead, they waited for Dumbledore's orders.

They didn't have to wait long, because as the fireworks went off, Spot found Dumbledore, woke him up while he was still in his pajamas, and told him what had happened.

Dumbledore was shocked and immediately asked the portraits in the headmaster's office to help spread the word, ordering all the professors to assemble at the castle gate. At the same time, he gave the prefects the order that no student should stay in the common room and not go out.

Then, he led the professors, weary from their journey, to Hagrid's hut. Looking at Dolly, Harry, Ron, and Neville, he displayed expressions of shock, confusion, or anger.

"What exactly did you do?!"

Professor McGonagall was the first to speak, because she knew that these people were here today because it was the reason she had punished them.

Instead of being punished, these people seemed to have caused some big news, which shocked Professor McGonagall.

"Where is Malfoy...?"

Professor McGonagall was halfway through her story when she saw chunks of flesh and blood on the ground.

Her face turned deathly pale and she nearly fainted. She was terrified to hear the news that Malfoy had turned into the lump of flesh before her.

Fortunately, she didn't hear the news.

"Malfoy has entered the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid and Tooth have gone to look for him."

"How dare Malfoy!"

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, but then became angry again. She said, "Dumbledore, give the order. Let's go and find Malfoy together."

"Don't be in such a hurry, Minerva."

Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, looked at the lump of flesh on the ground, and realized why it looked so disgusting.

“I think Miss Dursley has a long story to tell us, and as for Mr. Malfoy, he should be fine with Hagrid protecting him.”

"No, Professor."

Dolly spoke up, and surprisingly, she contradicted Dumbledore.

"While I acknowledge Hagrid's familiarity with the Forbidden Forest, today's situation is indeed extraordinary; there is a dangerous individual within the Forbidden Forest."

"Malfoy's disappearance was also somewhat mysterious; I suspect he was also under the Imperius Curse."

The professors couldn't help but shudder the moment they heard the Imperius Curse.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a light; he knew that Dolly hadn't forgotten what happened on Halloween, and now she was bringing it up again.

However, Dumbledore could only let Dolly continue her statement, because he knew very well that he was in the wrong.

Dolly is now clearly well-prepared.

"I will try to keep it as brief as possible, so that the professors have more time to search for Malfoy."

After Dolly finished speaking, she looked at Quirrell, who was standing at the back of the crowd, with Snape pulling his arm.

Snape and Dolly exchanged a glance and immediately understood Dolly's intention. Then they pulled Quirrell in front of the crowd.

Quirrell collapsed to the ground, nearly making intimate contact with the lump of flesh on the ground.

He screamed in terror, looking nothing like a professor.

Chapter 128: The Silent Truth (Second Update)

"Snape, what are you doing!"

Professor Flitwick screamed and bent down to help Quirrell up.

His relationship with Quirrell wasn't actually good, or rather, his relationship with any of the professors wasn't good at all.

But no matter how bad the relationship is, they are still colleagues, and Quirrell is also a professor at Hogwarts.

How could Snape treat him like trash and just throw him on the ground?

Unfortunately, Dolly was one step ahead, reaching out to stop Professor Flitwick. Looking at him with sincere eyes, she said, "Professor, please believe me, okay?"

Dolly and Professor Flitwick didn't interact much; their interactions were mostly confined to the classroom.

It wasn't that Dolly disliked Professor Flitwick, but rather that Professor Flitwick was in a position that was neither here nor there.

Considering his upright character and high status, Vice President Professor McGonagall was clearly a better person to turn to for help.

In addition, since Professor McGonagall is a woman, it is easier for Dolly and Professor McGonagall to communicate about some details.

As for what happens in the shadows, it's obviously easier to communicate with Snape.

After all, Professor Flitwick knew nothing about Dumbledore's grand plan and had little contact with dark wizards, so Dolly couldn't very well drag him into it.

But this did not diminish Dolly's respect for Professor Flitwick, because Professor Flitwick was not only highly skilled, but also the only professor who could connect with his students in the classroom.

Even Malfoy treated Professor Flitwick with exceptional respect, second only to his respect for Snape, which shows how popular Professor Flitwick was.

Of course, Professor Flitwick's favorite student was Hermione, not Dolly.

However, out of consideration for Hermione and Dolly, who were also Ravenclaw students, Flitwick ultimately chose to believe Dolly.

"I understand, Miss Dursley. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Professor Flitwick took a step back, and the remaining professors, including Headmaster Dumbledore, looked at Dolly with varying expressions.

They clearly hadn't expected that Dolly would be behind this whole scene.

As for Dumbledore, he appeared expressionless on the surface, but in reality, he sighed for all of this in his heart.

He knew that Dolly did all this to fight for a belated justice for herself on Halloween.

This did not align with Dumbledore's expectations for how things would unfold.

Dolly could have handled things more calmly, without alerting the enemy, and guided the situation toward a result that better suited his expectations.

Of course, the price is to slightly sacrifice Dolly's interests, or rather, to make Dolly suffer a little injustice.

If it were still the start of the first year of school, Dumbledore would do this without hesitation, just as he did back then.

But now, Dumbledore can no longer do that.

At least for now, Dumbledore must weigh the opinion of the little witch named Dolly Dursley on the scales, and he must also increase the weight that name represents.

This is not only because of Dolly's strength, but also because of her persistence, and because she truly has the ability to change the situation.

In Hogwarts, where almost everyone believes him and even treats his words as gospel, it has been a long time since anyone has made Dumbledore feel troubled.

The tricky part here is that Dolly did all of this without any obvious wrongdoing from a moral, legal, or even causal perspective of revenge.

If Dumbledore wanted to continue suppressing Dolly, it wouldn't be enough for him to have just a private conversation; it would require something much heavier and more fundamental.

For example, his good reputation and the professors' trust in him.

And even if he successfully suppresses Dolly's counterattack again, can he suppress Dolly's third, fourth, or even more counterattacks?

What if Dolly still insists on resisting? Should he push Dolly to the other side of the camp, or use magic to make the rebellious little witch become obedient?

This clearly crossed Dumbledore's line.

Dumbledore preferred to describe his influence on people's hearts as guidance rather than control, let alone distortion through the power of magic.

That's something Voldemort would do.

"Thank you all for your time, professors. I will try my best not to waste your time."

"I believe you all remember that I accused Professor Quirrell of using the Imperius Curse on me."

"But unfortunately, not many people believe me, and I can't provide enough evidence."

"But today, I think I can produce evidence."

Dolly waved to Tooth, who was standing outside the crowd, and Tooth immediately followed her in, looking at Dolly with curiosity.

"Just now, a dark wizard tried to attack Harry and the others, but I defeated him."
