After all, Dobby can come to Hogwarts anytime. Although Dobby doesn't know that the diary has ended up with Dolly, it's possible that it might use some magical means to find out some clues.

So I'll keep it with me for now.

In a couple of days, Dolly will find a place to test the Fiendfire spell and then destroy it.

As for whether the diary would drain too much of one's vitality in just a few days, that's impossible.

So, during today's History of Magic class, Dolly pondered whether she should take Tom out and play with him.

I started doing it as soon as I thought of Dolly.

In any case, Dolly had the privilege of not paying attention in the History of Magic class.

After all, Dolly had proven last year that she could get a higher score than Hermione in this class even if she wasn't very diligent, and Hermione couldn't do anything about it.

So, with a feeling of excitement, Dolly opened her long-sealed diary.

Dolly pondered what characters she should write to greet Voldemort.

He jumped right in front of Voldemort and told him that his plan was ruined.

No, no, no, that's too unconventional and doesn't suit Dolly's ladylike demeanor.

As for actually writing down her innermost thoughts... Dolly isn't generous enough to confide in someone who has no nose.

So let's just talk nonsense.

"On July 19, 2077, more than twenty people died in today's deadly lottery."

"Damn it, when will I finally win a bet? Doesn't anyone know when Night City's security will improve?"

"That way, at least I can earn some money for tomorrow's meals."

"Also, yesterday I saw an old-fashioned person using a wand very honestly."

"How ridiculous! Merlin's magic warships? Everyone's using planet-destroying cannons now!"

After writing this, Dolly suppressed a smile and waited for the handwriting to disappear.

However, as time passed, the writing remained unchanged until the end of get out of class.

This is how the same thing?

Voldemort couldn't hold back any longer?

If Dolly were Voldemort herself, she wouldn't be able to hold back either.

According to Voldemort's original plan, this fragment of soul was to be released soon after it was made into a Horcrux, and he had no intention of keeping it inside for decades.

But according to the dates Dolly wrote, Voldemort has been in the diary for over a hundred years, and he's not even at Hogwarts anymore, but has gone to some strange Night City.

How can we possibly understand the current situation?

Of course, Voldemort could use Legilimency to read Dolly's thoughts in order to determine whether she was talking nonsense.

However, if Voldemort could do that, he would probably be even more panicked, because he would realize that the person in front of him was actually a hunter.

Unable to get a response from Voldemort, Dolly stopped thinking about it, put the diary back in her bag, and went to have lunch with Hermione.

They didn't have any classes at the beginning of the afternoon, so the two of them went back to their dormitory to rest.

Dolly opened the diary again and saw that the characters were still there, which she found strange.

Hermione leaned closer and said, "Is it okay for you to write and draw on it directly? How exactly did it trigger the curse?"

"I think it's better to just destroy it."

Hermione felt uneasy and offered Dolly some advice.

Dolly didn't explain further, simply throwing the diary on the ground and saying, "Come on, give it a try."

Hermione was puzzled, but she still took out her wand.

First, she used a levitation spell to throw the diary into the fireplace, and then she used a fire-starting spell.

Although Hermione didn't have many opportunities for actual combat, Dolly could tell from her eyes that Hermione's fire-starting charm was at least at level 2 or even 3.

It's easy to see that Hermione is quite talented in spells, and Dolly even has a feeling that Hermione's talent has become even stronger recently.

The sparks of fire emanating from the tip of the wand, like a tiny fire dragon, burrowed into the fireplace, relentlessly devouring everything in the diary.

Dolly had been watching all this with her arms crossed, looking at it all with confidence.

But soon, Dolly's expression changed.

Because of Hermione's fire-starting charm, the Horcruxes, which should have been completely undestroyed, are now being burned.

Dolly quickly told Hermione to stop and rushed to the diary. Then she was shocked to see the diary disappear right before her eyes without leaving a trace.

In the end what happened?

"Did I succeed or fail?"

Hermione asked in surprise, "Could it be that the diary ran away?"

Dolly suddenly stood up; her question had finally been answered.

No wonder the diary didn't respond to Dolly; it was a fake!

Did Lockhart deceive Dolly with a fake diary?

No, not possible!

Lockhart's level of magic was clearly insufficient to accomplish this.

Could it be Dobius?

Dobby knew someone was going to steal the diary, and then copied it... That's even more impossible.

Putting aside whether house-elves have the ability to copy diaries, the fact that Dobby would do this is completely unacceptable.

Because Dobby is a house-elf, disrupting his owner's plans is an unacceptable betrayal for a house-elf.

If Dobby had done this, even if it had an independent spirit, it would have been driven mad by the imprint of thought in its mind long ago.

So who exactly came into contact with this diary, and who had the ability and time to switch it out?

Dolly couldn't help but start thinking about every little detail of yesterday; she had practically carried her diary with her the whole time.

Apart from……

Dolly looked at Hermione, who looked completely bewildered.

Then she said warily, "You're not going to ask me to pay you back just because I broke it, are you?"

A smile played on her lips as she quipped, "Could this be some kind of premeditated fraud?"

Dolly sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "This diary is fake. It really won't be destroyed so easily."

"I'm wondering, where is the real diary?"

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Dolly concluded that, as her bedmate, Hermione had almost no time to be independent, much less time to take action.

She had no motivation to do it.

Normally, it seems unlikely that Cho Chang and Luna would have any motive to do this.

Whether they have their own motives or not is irrelevant; if they are controlled by magic, then it's not surprising what they might do.

Of course, this doesn't mean it has to be them.

It's possible that Lockhart's diary was a fake from the very beginning, and that it was switched while he was still in his possession.

Or perhaps Lucius made a fake copy of the diary from the beginning and put it into Hogwarts through a different channel.

Sigh... Why has something that should be so simple become so complicated?

Should Dolly really hide away and do nothing, quietly waiting for the plot to unfold, and then strike decisively when she is absolutely certain?

This is indeed an idea, but doing so could potentially expose one's friends and family to threats and attacks.

Just like when Dolly was attacked by the troll, this is not what Dolly wanted to see, after all, she cannot guarantee that the people around her will always be safe.

However, getting too involved would completely distort the original plot, and Dolly's current abilities and strength are insufficient to provide a comprehensive defense against the Dark Lord.

It's fair to say that it's far too much of a stretch for Dolly to lead the fight against the Dark Lord all by herself.

Hermione was stunned, and eventually she and Dolly began to think about and discuss the matter.

Ultimately, the two concluded that they needed to meet with Luna and Cho Chang to stop this pointless speculation.

If Dolly still doesn't get an answer by then, perhaps she should tell Dumbledore about it.

At the very least, Dolly must subdue the person holding the diary the moment the secret room is first opened.

That evening, after dinner, Luna and Cho Chang were dragged back to the dormitory by Dolly and Hermione.

Seeing Dolly and Hermione's serious expressions, Cho Chang asked sharply, "What exactly happened?"

"Could it be that you've been cursed by that diary?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "If that's the case, it might actually be a good thing."

"The problem now is that the diary is missing."

"We can't even be sure if we ever actually got it."

Hermione then spoke up and explained the whole story.

The four girls looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Qiu Zhang then realized what was happening and said, "Me... and Luna, could we also be suspects?"

"To be precise, all four of us could be."

To ease the tension, Dolly continued, "Because this diary can bewitch people, although normally it doesn't have that much power."

"But when it comes to magic, no one can give a 100% guarantee, right?"

Qiu Zhang then asked, "So what should we do to prove each other's innocence?"

"I can take you to search my dormitory, or perhaps there are other magical means to prove all this?"

At this moment, Luna, who had been silently looking around, suddenly spoke up and said, "Perhaps we should involve the professors."

"This matter may have already spiraled out of our control."
