The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dobby, a house-elf and servant of the Malfoy family, was also the mastermind behind Harry and Ron's inability to enter the train station, leading them to fly to Hogwarts.

Of course, its original intention was to stop Harry from coming to Hogwarts, and it never expected that Ron would be so audacious.

Dobby is a unique house-elf.

House-elves are magical creatures enslaved by wizards. Most house-elves take this for granted and never think of changing their status or living conditions.

But Dobby longs to change all of this, to gain freedom, and even to receive his own salary.

This shows that Dobby has a different concept of good and evil than house-elves, and it also means that he can distinguish right from wrong and will try to abide by the established rules while also daring to rebel.

This is also why Dobby, despite being a Malfoy family house-elf, tried to protect Harry after learning of Lucius's plot.

So when Dobby found her, Dolly wasn't nervous or angry; instead, she was filled with curiosity.

Dolly's lack of clues might finally be broken by getting through to Dobby.

"Do you know who I am?"

Dolly didn't directly respond to Dobby's question. Instead, she crossed her arms and smiled calmly.

To Dolly's surprise, Dobby nodded and said, "Miss Parkinson, Dobby knows you."

"But even you cannot rummage through the young master's things. If you want anything, you can ask the young master. I think the generous and kind young master will agree..."

Dolly raised an eyebrow; it seemed Dobby hadn't discovered her true identity.

This will be easier to handle.

So Dolly said directly, "I'm looking for a diary. Malfoy told me to come get it myself, but I can't find it. Do you know where it is?"

Sure enough, the moment I heard the diary...

Dobby started trembling, making Dolly think he was having an epileptic seizure; it would have looked even more like one if there had been a little white foam around his mouth.

"Dobby, Dobby doesn't know... about the diary!"

"What is that strange thing? I don't know anything about it, I really don't know..."

Dobby swayed, trying to find a corner to hide in, but Dolly wouldn't give him the chance.

Because Dolly knew that this wasn't a question of whether Dobby wanted to cooperate or not.

As a house-elf, Dobby cannot betray its owner, so even if it wanted to hand over the item, it couldn't.

So Dolly could only press on relentlessly, asking, "It seems you do know. Tell me where it is."

"Otherwise, I'll have Malfoy give you a good beating for daring to refuse my question."

Dolly was like an angry little lion, and Dolly trembled even more violently.

It shook its head repeatedly, saying, "Dobby doesn't know, Dobby really doesn't know."

"But it's definitely not with the little master, it's with..."

"Where are you? Answer me!"

Dolly raised her voice again, startling Dobby, who blurted out a single word in an instant: "Lockhart..."

The next second, Dobby started banging his head against the wall, smashing it until it was a bloody mess. Even though he had accidentally revealed the secret, he still told it out loud.

Dolly raised her hand and hit Dobby with a Sleeping Charm, then cast a Healing Charm on him.

Seeing that its wounds had stabilized, Dolly breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling a little guilty towards Dobby, she called Spot out.

"Take it to get its injuries treated, and then ask everyone to keep an eye on it. If it comes to Hogwarts again, be sure to let me know."

"Also, take me back."

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief, and Dolly immediately did as she was told. Almost the next second, Dolly was back in her dorm room.

Looking at the bright sunshine and scenery around her, Dolly felt as if she had been released from prison.

Dolly, having found the clue, felt an immense sense of relief and collapsed backwards onto the bed.

Just as Dolly was about to say something with a smile, Hermione said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes. I don't want to see you lying in Dolly's bed like this."

"But I am Dolly!"

"My Dolly will never look like you!"

Hermione looked like a little lion now, and Dolly couldn't help but laugh. Then Hermione pushed her into the bathroom to take a bath.

As it turned out, Dolly really didn't have much time left. After waiting in the dormitory for about half an hour, Dolly's body began to twist and change, and then returned to its original form.

This is not to say that the compound decoction Dolly prepared was ineffective, but rather that Dolly controlled the dosage.

Anyway, if she feels any changes in her body, she can continue taking the medication to stabilize her condition, so Dolly doesn't need to drink the whole bottle at once.

Dolly then began to think about the intelligence gathered that day.

Although Dolly didn't get the diary, she did get crucial information: the diary was with Lockhart.

What is going on here?

Dolly couldn't help but think back to Lockhart's book signing day. Lucius and the Weasleys, who should have been fighting, didn't clash because Lucius hadn't even shown up.

It now appears that Lucius and Malfoy also went to Diagon Alley that day, but because of Dolly's presence, they discovered that the time they went had changed.

After Dolly and her group left, Lucius and Malfoy encountered Lockhart.

Given Lockhart's flamboyant personality, he would definitely ask Lucius for a photo, after all, Lucius is quite a big shot.

Perhaps it was around that time that Lucius simply handed the diary to Lockhart, since Lockhart was about to become a professor at Hogwarts.

Having figured all this out, Dolly couldn't help but smile happily.

That smile lasted until Dolly returned to her dorm after drying her hair, and Hermione looked relieved when she saw Dolly's appearance.

"You know, seeing you lying on your bed like that just now, I was really worried that all of this might actually happen."

"I don't want to..."

Hermione choked up halfway through her sentence.

Dolly was in a great mood. She went to Hermione's side, hugged her, and gently rubbed her cheek, saying, "Don't you want to think about anything? Don't you want to change your roommate?"

Dolly had assumed Hermione would brush it off, but to her surprise, Hermione grabbed Dolly's wrist and said, "Yes, I don't want to replace my roommate with someone else."

Hermione's straightforward answer caught Dolly off guard.

Holding Hermione, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Why is Hermione being so proactive today?

160 notebooks arrived

“That’s right, I am that outstanding. It seems Miss Granger has already succumbed to my charm.”

Dolly pursed her lips and took it a step further in a joking tone.

He even slightly turned his chin; just a few more degrees and he could kiss Hermione's cheek.

Hermione seemed to laugh because it tickled her, patting Dolly's wrist and saying, "I'm just used to being with you. I can't imagine living under the same roof as someone else."

"As for charm, do you think you are very charming?"

Hermione forcibly turned her body to face Dolly, and Dolly's plan to steal a kiss from Hermione naturally failed.

She could only look at Hermione with a somewhat aggrieved and disappointed expression and say, "Am I not charming enough?"

"I thought I was cute and pretty enough."

Hermione looked closely at Dolly's face, and although she wanted to deny it, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

In the end, all I could say was against my will: "Even if you're incredibly beautiful, I'd get tired of looking at you every day."

"Alright, let's get down to business. What exactly happened?"

Dolly gathered her thoughts and then told Hermione what she had learned from Dobby.

Hermione nodded and said, "So what we need to do next is get the diary from Lockhart?"

Dolly nodded and said, "Of course, we could just keep an eye on him and catch him when he's about to do something bad."

"However, the latter will waste some time."

Hermione shrugged and said, "It's much easier than having to keep an eye on the whole school at the beginning."

Dolly acknowledged this, but then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she smiled at Hermione.

Hermione felt uneasy under Dolly's gaze and asked what had happened. Dolly then said, "I'm going to take action against Lockhart now."

"If everything goes smoothly, Lockhart might be expelled directly. Wouldn't you be unhappy about that?"

Hermione seemed genuinely angry and said, "I don't care about an old liar."

"Really? You weren't like this at first. I thought our Miss Granger was finally going to learn how to like someone."

"I don't understand that kind of thing! Oh no, of course I do, but what is Lockhart?!"

Hermione was so annoyed that she became somewhat incoherent, and the usually quick-witted girl was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because she didn't know how to clearly draw a line between herself and Lockhart while also letting Hermione know that she had the awareness and ability to like someone.

She just hasn't met someone she likes yet...

Hermione hadn't even realized it yet, but Dolly was already laughing her head off.

Only then did he realize that Dolly was up to her old tricks again, so he simply pushed Dolly onto the bed and bullied her all over.

Hermione, panting heavily, only stopped when Dolly, blushing, began to beg for mercy.

Hermione simply turned over and lay down on Dolly's pillow, facing Dolly.

The two looked at each other in a somewhat disheveled state; anyone who didn't know better would have thought they had engaged in some strenuous physical activity.

"Once this is resolved quickly, we can get back to our normal school life, right?"

Once they had caught their breath, Hermione spoke up, saying, "Actually, I wanted to say this as soon as the semester started: how come you're carrying so much on your shoulders?"

"Aren't we just ordinary students?"

"Why can't this be solved by studying?"

Dolly sighed and said, "Yes, why?"
