The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Hermione nodded, clearly agreeing with the idea.

However, she and Luna looked at Dolly. Dolly was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's try to look for each other in our dorm rooms later. If we still can't find each other, I'll go see Dumbledore."

Upon hearing this, Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and even revealed a faint smile.

This puzzled Dolly, but Luna just tilted her head and smiled, looking as confused and mysterious as ever, so Dolly didn't pay any attention.

Next, Dolly and Luna will be paired together, and Hermione and Cho Chang will be paired together.

They went to Luna's and Qiu Zhang's dorm rooms and ransacked them, causing a little chaos.

However, since the owners of the luggage were present, the others naturally didn't say anything.

As for the result, naturally, there was no result.

Just as the diary vanished from the flames and the fireplace, it was never in Cho Chang and Luna's luggage.

"I'm going to find Dumbledore."

After the four of them reunited at the entrance of Dolly's dormitory, Dolly spoke.

Hermione advised, "Perhaps we should write a letter to Dumbledore first, and then visit him after he agrees?"

"I'm worried it might be too late."

Dolly shook her head and said, "You all wait here for me to come back. It shouldn't take me long."

After saying that, Dolly quickly left, leaving the three girls looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Never mind, let's go wait for her to come back. What would you like to eat?"

Hermione opened the dormitory door and invited Luna and Cho Chang in.

Now that Dolly was gone, she seemed to have become the hostess, or perhaps the host, attentively entertaining the two guests.

At first, Hermione was a little awkward, but she quickly found herself enjoying herself, especially when she saw Cho Chang looking distracted, which gave her a sense of victory.

Meanwhile, Dolly arrived at the Hogwarts Headmaster's office.

This office is located on the eighth floor of the castle, with a gargoyle at the entrance.

If the command is given correctly, the dripping stone beast will jump aside, and the wall behind it will split in two, allowing people to enter through a slowly ascending spiral staircase hidden behind it.

Dolly couldn't possibly know the password, because the password was constantly changing.

So Dolly simply said to the gargoyle, "Professor Dumbledore, I know you can hear me. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Sure enough, less than half a minute after Dolly spoke, the door opened.

Dumbledore's voice came from inside, saying, "Good evening, Miss Dursley. I didn't expect you to come as a guest."

"I've changed into my pajamas, I hope you don't mind."

"of course."

Dolly strode forward and entered the principal's office.

Although I had learned about this place from the original work more than once, this was the first time I had seen it up close in person.

The first thing you see when you enter is that the walls of the round office are covered with portraits of the former principals, each of them gently snoring in their own frame.

Many long-legged tables were decorated with all sorts of strange silverware, while the Sorting Hat was displayed on a shelf; these were mostly Dumbledore's collection.

Finally, there was an old, decrepit bird perched on a branch behind the door.

This is a phoenix named Fox, who is about to undergo a rebirth.

Phoenixes are such magical creatures; they are always resurrected and reborn in order to refuse death, the most terrifying thing.

As for the Sorting Hat and other items in the cabinet in the distance, Dolly saw them, but didn't have a chance to talk to them.

Because Dumbledore had already come out of the headmaster's bedroom, looking somewhat hurried.

Before Dolly could speak, a man in a painting had already begun to mock Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, are you getting senile? Dressed like this to meet a little witch... I'm asking you, what's your name and last name? Are you a member of a pure-blood family?"

The person who spoke was full of annoying arrogance; that domineering attitude was ingrained in his very being.

Dolly glanced at his name, and sure enough, it was Phineas Nigellus Black, the most hated headmaster in Hogwarts history.

His name clearly indicates that he is related to Sirius Black by blood.

Indeed, his great-great-grandson is Harry's godfather, Sirius Black.

It can only be said that people with bad tempers are often found in the surname Blake.

Dolly simply smiled and replied, "I am a Muggle, a purebred Muggle, sir."

"And his grades are better than all the pure-blooded students in the same grade, which is really strange."

Faced with a painting, Dolly naturally had no reason to be patient.

Phineas was naturally enraged, so much so that he jumped up and uttered the word he knew best.

"Mud Seed..."

However, the principals, who had been sleeping, were suddenly awakened.

One by one, people stared at Phineas in shock, followed by a barrage of criticism against him.

Even a tall principal jumped into his portrait and punched Phineas in the face.

The once quiet headmaster's office suddenly seemed to transform into the bustling Hogwarts Great Dining Hall.

Dumbledore, who had been holding his wand and trying to flip Phineas's portrait, was now standing there dumbfounded, watching the noisy scene, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Finally, Phineas screamed and ran away, disappearing into his portrait in the old Black house, and the headmaster's office returned to silence.

"Are you alright, kid? I hope that old bastard's words didn't hurt you."

This time, it was a gentle female headmistress who spoke; her name was Delis de Winter.

She was not only the headmistress but also a doctor at St. Mungo's Hospital, so historically, Dalys de Winter was a very popular headmistress because her care for the students was genuine and effective.

Dolly smiled gently at the headmaster.

She lifted her skirt and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Professor Deventer. It's a pity I can't learn magic from you."

The other person was slightly taken aback, but Dolly took out her willow wand and skillfully cast a healing spell.

Seeing this, Delis de Winter couldn't help but applaud, and many others followed suit.

Because Dolly looks to be only about a second-grader, yet she has such a high level of skill in healing spells.

If Delis de Winter hadn't died, she might have even considered taking on an apprentice.

After the applause subsided, Delis de Winter said, "I used to think you were a rose with thorns, but now I realize you are a lily that would rather break than bend."

Dolly thanked Delis de Winter again before looking at Dumbledore.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood with his hands behind his back, watching all of this with great interest, as if he were the guest and Dolly had become the host.

Chapter 162, Second Update: Explosion in the Dormitory

Dolly couldn't tell what Dumbledore's mood was, but she believed he wouldn't be angry because of her actions.

So Dolly spoke up directly, saying, "Professor, are you still listening?"

“Of course, Miss Dursley.”

Dumbledore sighed softly and said, "I'm just marveling at how you really don't seem like a little wizard."

"Although I have seen students who are not afraid of me, you are the first student who is not afraid of so many principals and even made one of them run away."

"Wouldn't that be considered a form of praise?"

Dumbledore gestured for Dolly to sit down and said, "I can only say that this has made it clear to me once again how I should get along with you, Miss Dursley."

"What brings you here? Whatever you want to say today, and for as long as you want, I will listen until you want me to give my opinion."

Dumbledore sat down in the headmaster's chair in a slightly languid posture.

Then the house-elf prepared hot cocoa and candy for Dolly, saying, "A little something sweet before bed helps you sleep."

"No need for candy, I'm on a diet, Mr. Principal."

Dolly said this in a half-joking tone, but it was Delis de Winter, who had taken a liking to Dolly, who began to tell Dolly to take care of her health.

She clearly considered Dolly to be an indispensable member of St. Mungo's Hospital in the future.

However, Dolly still took a sip of hot cocoa as a return gesture for Dumbledore's hospitality, and then said, "Professor, although I have come to see you, I cannot tell you everything."

"It's like, you can't tell me everything."

Dumbledore gave a wry smile and said, "Miss Dursley, you've raised our conversation to a point where it's difficult to continue."

Are you still holding a grudge about what happened last year?

“I almost died, Professor.”

Dolly said earnestly, "I know you have your plans and goals, and you want to pursue greater interests, but I must prioritize the safety of myself, my friends, and my family."

“Nothing is more important to me than this.”

Dumbledore stared at Dolly, and Dolly met his gaze without fear.

Although Dolly's willpower is only 3 at the moment, she has accumulated 15 attribute points in the past month or so.

If Dolly needs it, she can instantly boost her willpower to 6.

In addition, with the buffs that can be activated by the wand, Dolly's willpower can also be maxed out.

If Dolly doesn't believe it, Dumbledore can use Legilimency to break through her willpower.

However, Dumbledore ultimately did not use Legilimency.

After all, Dolly wasn't a student in the ordinary sense. Dumbledore had decided to stop trying to provoke her with probing methods, as that would only backfire.

Even Delis de Winter could see that Dolly was unyielding, so how could Dumbledore possibly do anything to bend her at this point?

“I understand you, Miss Dursley.”

“Here, I can apologize to you for my unfair judgment last year, and I also promise to do everything I can to protect the lives of you and your partners and friends.”

"Of course, like you said, I also have my own goals."
