The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Luna finally arrived at the dormitory and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the spacious five-person room.

The five girls began to reintroduce themselves, and a new round of socializing began.

Luna behaved normally, calmly stating her information, while the four girls exchanged glances, clearly dissatisfied with Luna's answer.

People started asking Luna what her relationship with Dolly really was.

Luna could only repeat what she had just said, but this was taken as a perfunctory response.

However, the girls didn't pester Luna too much. After all, they were simply drawn to Dory's radiance and the popularity of her name in Ravenclaw and wanted to learn more about her.

Dolly didn't say much, and they weren't going to keep pestering her.

After that, the girls started changing their clothes to prepare for bed, and then they prepared the textbooks they would need for the next day.

At this point, the second round of social interaction began.

The girls put on their own pajamas, while the other four wore brand new pajamas, though the styles were a bit outdated.

Luna's pajamas, however, were a faded yellow that looked washed out, and the hem had a patch with crooked stitches, indicating that it was a hand-sewn patch.

Luna sewed it herself.

Luna also saw the girls' new pajamas, but no envy flashed in her eyes; she wasn't someone who cared about material things or empty fame.

This composure is an innate quality stemming from her personality, making her seem somewhat detached from worldly affairs in her words and actions.

But she happens to have four classmates who are very down-to-earth.

Seeing Luna dressed in such tattered clothes yet displaying such a high-profile and nonchalant attitude, her classmates almost all felt that Luna was deliberately putting on this haughty act.

That is to say, they don't have mobile phones now, nor have they created a WeChat group, otherwise they would definitely have already created a separate group of four to complain about Luna.

Although they didn't directly criticize Luna, the four of them exchanged glances and instinctively excluded her from the conversation.

It's not that they were inherently malicious; it's more that they've started to lose common ground with Luna.

The problem isn't serious right now. Unless someone is inherently wicked, it's unlikely they would do anything excessive to Luna right now.

However, as time went on, this subconscious isolation lasted longer and longer, and Luna's roommates eventually realized that Luna was just being herself.

They would realize that compared to Luna's natural disposition, they were the despicable bullies.

When people realize they've made a mistake, they often deny it instead of admitting it, and may even go to great lengths to prove they're right.

This is why Luna will gradually be bullied in the future.

But all of this is only the beginning of the process.

Luna was completely unaware of this, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly started reading her book by herself.

Occasionally, I would look out the window into the distance, pondering the location of the school hospital and wondering if Dolly had already resolved her troubles.

Dolly, meanwhile, was standing with her arms crossed, watching Harry and Ron on the hospital bed with a half-smile.

In theory, visiting patients should not be allowed at this time, but Dolly and Mrs. Pomfrey had a good relationship, so she was allowed to come in for a ten-minute visit.

"Let me guess what the headline of tomorrow's Daily Prophet will be."

"The famous Harry Potter and his brother Ron Weasley drove a flying car for a whole day to Hogwarts and smashed down the gates?"

After Dolly finished speaking, Harry clutched his head, feeling like his whole being had been destroyed.

Ron was also chuckling, but there was a hint of excitement beneath the smile.

It seemed that being featured in the Daily Prophet was something he was very fortunate and happy about.

Of course, after being glared at by Dolly, he became anxious and suppressed his excitement.

This is Ron, despite the fact that many people are debating whether Ron is a proper Gryffindor.

But Dolly felt there was no need to discuss this issue at all, because she thought Ron was the most reckless one in the trio.

Driving a speeding car to school today is the most typical example.

Is this something an ordinary 12-year-old boy wizard would dare to do?

In her previous life, when Dolly was learning to drive, she nearly drove her instructor to the brink of collapse. Her occasional screams were louder than the revving of the old training car.

Dolly didn't want to correct Ron's recklessness, nor could she.

However, as an older sister, Dolly had to teach them a lesson and make them understand the seriousness of the problem.

Chapter 153, Lockhart's First Lesson

"It seems I need to seriously suggest to Dumbledore that he fire you."

Dolly spoke again, startling Ron and Harry so much that they jumped up.

However, they immediately grimaced and yelled, because they all had fractures of varying degrees and were waiting to drink the Bone Elixir.

Mrs. Pomfrey looked over and said angrily, "Don't move, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley!"

"And you, Miss Dursley, don't frighten them."

Dolly shook her head and said, "Madam, I didn't scare them."

“Ron, although your car can become invisible, it will still cause a lot of strange occurrences along the way. Muggles may have already seen it.”

“Harry, as a semi-public figure, you have openly violated school rules and regulations and even committed illegal acts. There will definitely be people who take the opportunity to try to make you a role model.”

"The Ministry of Magic might send an arrest warrant tomorrow."

"So, it's safer to just expel you from school than to put you in Azkaban."

Ron almost cried; he hadn't realized things were so serious.

Being expelled from school wasn't enough; he also had to go to jail?

Harry thought it was mostly a bluff, but he did realize how far they had gone.

However, at that moment, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall walked in.

The moment Harry and Ron saw him, they seemed to have found a savior, while Dolly turned her back to Dumbledore and sighed.

Because she knew that Dumbledore was coming to pardon Harry.

If an ordinary student did this, they would definitely be expelled. Hogwarts has already done more than enough by shielding them from the Ministry of Magic's investigation.

But Harry and Ron are different. Not to mention the Ministry of Magic, they won't even be delayed from going to class tomorrow.

This clearly requires Dumbledore to use his "Face Fruit" to make the Ministry of Magic members who are supposed to come return empty-handed.

Judging from this incident, it's no wonder that many wizards in the Ministry of Magic disliked Dumbledore.

Of course, Dolly had no objection to the matter itself, and she certainly didn't want her brother and his best friend to be expelled from Hogwarts.

But shouldn't we at least let them know about the danger?

Dolly could protect her brother and friends from Voldemort's men, but she couldn't stop them from courting disaster, since Dolly couldn't possibly watch them 24/7.

"Good evening, Miss Dursley."

Dumbledore smiled, seemingly delighted to see Dolly, and said, "I didn't expect you to be faster than us. It seems you've already taught Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley a lesson."

"Yes."

Dolly immediately responded, turning around with a bright smile, and said, "So you'll forgive them, okay? Anyway, no one was really hurt, and the damaged door can be fixed with a repair spell."

"As for Ron's car, I think his father, Mr. Weasley, would be more than happy to cover the entire cost."

"Of course, Harry will contribute half as well."

Dolly chose to do what Dumbledore was going to do first, and simply become someone who cared about them, rather than just a preacher.

Sure enough, as soon as Dolly finished speaking, Ron immediately gave her a grateful look.

Harry was also somewhat surprised, but he looked at Dolly with gratitude, not expecting her to defend them even in front of Dumbledore.

Now it was Dumbledore's turn to be surprised.

He was prepared for Dolly to retort, but to his surprise, Dolly changed the subject and said what he was about to say first.

This left him momentarily speechless, but Dumbledore quickly adjusted his tone and said, "It seems we share the same idea, Miss Dursley."

"Although I think that driving a car into the Hogwarts gates is a story worthy of being written into the school's history, Professor McGonagall insisted on giving them a punishment that would serve as a sufficient warning to themselves."

Dumbledore gestured for them to proceed, and Professor McGonagall stepped forward, looking at the two boys seriously.

Ron's fear returned, and he instinctively asked, "Professor, should Harry and I pack our bags?"

Seeing that Professor McGonagall remained unmoved, Ron tentatively asked again, "At least... it will deduct points from Gryffindor, right?"

Harry chimed in, "Professor, we got into the car before school started, so we shouldn't deduct points from Gryffindor, right?"

“We have no other choice, Professor, we can’t get on the train.”

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall coldly said to Harry, "Why didn't you send us a message by owl? I believe you have an owl, don't you?"

Harry was speechless, and Ron couldn't answer either.

They didn't really think that much at the time, but now it seems that deliberately seeking excitement is a reasonable explanation.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Professor McGonagall continued, "I won't deduct points from Gryffindor, but you will be put in solitary confinement in Filch's storeroom."

"For the next month, you will help Filch clean up the entire Hogwarts every day, and you are not allowed to use magic."

Upon hearing this, Ron and Harry showed expressions of relief, but their faces immediately turned bitter.

Following Filch in cleaning the entire castle meant they would have almost no free time for the next month.

Harry even had to do cleaning after Quidditch practice, and just thinking about how tired he would be gave him a headache.

But what can we do about it?

What they did was absolutely outrageous.

"also."

Dumbledore then spoke, startling the two young wizards.

Harry and Ron jumped too early, because Dumbledore's next words were even more frightening.

"Tonight I will write to your families and have them punish you, so that you will understand the danger of this matter."

"If something like this happens again, even I will have no choice but to fire you."
