The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

"This piece of flesh and blood is my spoils of war."

Dolly pointed to the still-wriggling flesh, and apart from Dumbledore and Snape, all the other professors showed varying degrees of disgust.

For those working in an ivory tower, this grotesque scene was indeed somewhat frightening.

Ordinary flesh and blood would be one thing, but this piece of flesh and blood was cursed by a unicorn, and all the changes on it showed just how evil the owner of this piece of flesh and blood was.

Dolly also made a disgusted face.

Although Dolly had already smashed the troll's head with her own hands, even the troll's flesh and blood didn't disgust her as much as the flesh and blood in front of her.

"So who is this dark wizard?"

Dolly rubbed Tooth's head and said, "Please forgive my limited magical abilities; I can't come up with a definitive solution, but I can prove it in another way."

Dolly ripped off Quirrell's headscarf and held it to Toothpaste so he could smell it.

Then he pointed to the piece of meat, held up three fingers to Ya Ya, and said, "Ya Ya, if that's Qi Luo's stuff, say it three times."

"Otherwise, don't make a sound at all, understand?"

Tooth is not nearly as intelligent as Crookshanks, but under Hagrid's training, he became a competent hunting dog and could understand simple commands.

So when Dolly made him smell Quirrell's headscarf and then held up three fingers pointing to the flesh, Toothpick knew what he had to do.

It took a few deep sniffs of Chilo's headscarf, then whimpered and almost cried because of the garlic smell on it.

But then it cautiously approached the ominous piece of flesh, trying to discern its scent.

Ya Ya quickly provided the results.

The curse brought by the unicorn was in a magical sense and did not interfere with the physical smell of the flesh, so Ya Ya barked three times in succession, giving an affirmative answer.

The scarf in Dolly's hand, and the piece of cursed flesh, both came from the same human male wizard.

Although Ya Ya didn't understand why this male witch was trembling even though he was right there, and Dolly even asked him to find the owner of the turban, he actually did.

This did not stop the professors present from showing expressions of shock, clearly indicating that they still trusted Dolly's method of proof.

This is also thanks to Ya Ya's past performance, which left a good impression on the professors.

Professor Flitwick perked up, looked in Quirrell's direction, and asked, "Professor Quirrell, is there anything else you want to say? Can you still prove your innocence?"

Although Flitwick spoke up for Quirrell, he secretly gripped his wand tightly.

Don't forget, he is the headmaster of Ravenclaw House.

Although Dolly doesn't fit Flitwick's definition of the best student, he still can't deny that Dolly is an excellent Ravenclaw.

How could Flitwick not be angry that such a good student was almost killed by Quirrell half a year ago?

It was only out of respect for Dumbledore that Flitwick didn't directly intervene.

The remaining professors were all staring at Quirrell, which showed just how important it was to be popular.

If Quirrell were popular, a professor might defend him, making Dolly's method of using her teeth to prove Quirrell's identity seem rather weak.

But now no one speaks up, and even Dumbledore, the only one with the power to turn things around, chooses to remain silent.

As for Quirrell himself, he was almost scared to death; this imposter Quirrell was even more timid than the real Quirrell.

Or rather, he couldn't handle such a grand scene, especially since the White Demon King was watching him closely.

“It seems that Professor Quirrell has already acquiesced to all of this, so I can now share my opinion.”

Snape spoke up at this point, saying, "I just found Polyjuice Potion in his office, and this guy has obviously been drinking it."

“I don’t know who he is, but I know he’s not Quirrell.”

Snape's words at this moment effectively sentenced the fake Quirrell to death.

Even Professor McGonagall trembled with rage, pointing her wand at the fake Quirrell and demanding, "Who are you? How did you get into Hogwarts?"

"If you still don't tell me, I'll have to ask Professor Snape to use the Truth Serum!"

"Or perhaps you'd like to go to Azkaban and keep company with the Dementors?"

The fake Quirrell was still trembling, but he did not answer the professors' questions or offer any explanation.

By now, everyone could see that something was wrong, and Dumbledore spoke for the first time: "It seems that this fake Professor Quirrell has been controlled by a curse and is having difficulty thinking and expressing himself."

“Severus, please find a safe place to lock him up. We’ll interrogate him again once the effects of his compound decoction wear off.”

Snape nodded, grabbed Quirrell by the collar, and cast a freezing spell on him, rendering him unable to resist.

However, he did not leave immediately, because he knew Dolly still had something to say.

Sure enough, Dolly spoke up the next second, asking with a smile, "So, Principal, can my accusations from Halloween now be upheld?"

The professors then shifted their gaze from Quirrell back to Dolly, their expressions complex.

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth as if to say something, even though she knew all along that Dolly's request was perfectly reasonable.

But what Dolly is about to do is undoubtedly challenging Dumbledore's authority.

Whether Dumbledore admits he was wrong or continues to justify his actions, Dolly will inevitably drag down his lofty image by half a step.

This is almost unimaginable at Hogwarts today.

After all, the person in front of everyone is Dumbledore, the White Lord who has been the headmaster for decades, defeated two Dark Lords, and is recognized as the strongest in the wizarding world!

At a time like this, couldn't Dolly take a step back?

Dolly couldn't hear the professors' thoughts, otherwise she would have replied that there was no problem with her taking a step back.

It's just actively protecting Dumbledore's authority. Dolly was used to doing this in her previous life, so it wouldn't hurt to do it again now.

However, Quirrell is threatening Dolly's life this time. If even the right to life has to give way to Dumbledore's authority, then Dolly will become Dumbledore's absolute loyalist.

But she isn't!

If Dumbledore really wanted Dolly to become his loyal follower, he should at least offer her enough incentives.

It's unacceptable that Dolly became Dumbledore's loyal follower after being "guided" twice. That would be a huge waste of her twenty years of life experience from her previous life.

Dumbledore looked at Dolly intently once more, though he was actually quite calm.

Although Dolly broke with convention, exceeded his expectations, and even potentially disrupted his plans.

But who is Dumbledore?

The current plan to eliminate Voldemort is not even as dangerous as the original plan to fight Grindelwald.

Dumbledore emerged victorious from such a difficult period, so how much more so would he be able to overcome a little Dolly?

It would be truly strange if Dumbledore were to be emotionally affected by something like this.

His only regret was that he misjudged Dolly's growth rate and her determination to resist the pressure on her shoulders.

Perhaps it's time to try a different way of communicating with Dolly.

“I must admit, Miss Dursley, your persistence and efforts have finally paid off; Quirrell does indeed have a problem.”

"It is my dereliction of duty to have such a person as a professor at Hogwarts."

"But unfortunately, what you are accusing Quirrell of using the Imperius Curse on you does not constitute a chain of evidence or charges."

Dumbledore's words made the professors look at him in surprise. Did Dumbledore decide to fight Dolly to the end?

This isn't Dumbledore's style... and with Dolly in this situation, wouldn't she get hurt from the pressure?

Professor Flitwick was already considering smoothing things over, but Dumbledore smiled and said, "However, given your efforts and wisdom, I think it's appropriate for you to investigate Quirrell's problem together with Professor Snape."

"Once you've found out the results, or if you feel you can't find out the results on your own, and you hand Quirrell over to the Ministry of Magic, then we can discuss that accusation from back then, how about that?"

The atmosphere immediately lightened as soon as Dumbledore said those words.

In the professors' view, Dumbledore had already subtly admitted his mistake and even given Dolly a chance to correct it.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Dolly to make a name for herself, and Ravenclaw will also gain a lot of points as a result. Dolly could even become a staunch supporter of Dumbledore through this event.

After all, not every adult who recognizes their mistake will obediently admit it.

Snape even seemed tempted, realizing that Dumbledore intended to expose Dolly to the truth behind the scenes.

If Dolly were to join the fight against Voldemort... no, never mind.

Although Dolly is Harry's cousin and was destined to be involved, there is a fundamental difference between them bringing Dolly into the picture and Dolly joining in voluntarily.

After all, this is a huge challenge involving life and death, and they have no right to make a teenager bear all of this.

As for Harry, he was an exception; his connection with Voldemort dictated that he could only take this path.

The professors' gazes then turned to Dolly, seemingly expecting her to agree to Dumbledore's request.

However, Dolly seemed somewhat disinterested, and even at this point, Dumbledore was still unwilling to give her a clear answer, even though he himself knew the truth.

Dolly decided to stop there.

She had no intention of forcing Dumbledore to apologize; such a task would be far more difficult than forcing a school headmaster to kowtow to Dolly in her previous life.

Who told Dolly that the person in front of her wasn't just the headmaster of Hogwarts, but also the most powerful person in the world?

However, Dolly achieved her goal in doing all this.

If Dumbledore doesn't want to admit it, then at least Dolly should let the other professors know that she wasn't just talking nonsense, but that she had been the victim of a vicious murder.

Dolly glanced at the professors, and seeing their concerned and distressed looks, she realized how much she had been carrying over the past six months.

that's enough.

As for Dumbledore's invitation, Dolly couldn't be bothered to get involved; that would be like revealing her hand and confronting Voldemort.

Although Dolly is now practically at odds with Voldemort, at least for now she doesn't need to take orders or commands from Dumbledore.

He has his plans, and Dolly has her rhythm.

Isn't the goal to destroy the Horcruxes?

It's not actually that difficult, is it?

All it takes is finding an opportunity to burn it with the Fiery Curse, and it will all be over.

So Dolly shook her head and said, "Professor, that's too difficult for a first-year student like me."

"Let's leave all of this to you. I believe that you, Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic will eventually provide a convincing answer."
