The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly naturally didn't say much about it.

Dumbledore certainly had no problem dealing with the Basilisk; the only question was who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Then there's another question: will Dumbledore just obediently close the Chamber of Secrets and kill the Basilisk, or will he have other plans?

However, these things have nothing to do with Dolly for the time being.

Dolly had already packed her bags, boarded the Hogwarts Express, and was ready to go home to enjoy her Christmas holiday.

Harry, of course, went home with them and did not stay at Hogwarts.

However, Harry was indeed affected, as he had to consider who opened the Chamber of Secrets and whether it had anything to do with him.

To be honest, Harry is completely baffled right now.

He didn't even know the diary existed, yet he suddenly became the heir to Slytherin and was suspected of opening the Chamber of Secrets.

However, Dolly had no intention of answering his questions, since she herself didn't know where the diary was now, and there would be no point in explaining.

Soon, the train arrived in London.

Dolly hugged Cho Chang and Hermione goodbye and returned home.

After enjoying another delicious meal at the Dursleys' house, I watched TV for a while before heading to bed.

Harry stopped Dolly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Dolly yawned and said, "I know you may have a lot of questions, but we still have the whole vacation ahead of us. Anyway, we can ask you anything tomorrow, right?"

Harry nodded, agreeing.

So he stepped aside, and Dolly went into her room and fell fast asleep.

Dolly slept soundly through the night and woke up the next day, instinctively reaching for her wand.

Then I touched something that couldn't possibly exist at all, right by the bedside.

That texture... it looks so much like Voldemort's diary.

The next second, Dolly felt a sudden dizziness.

She vanished from her bed, left the Dursleys' house, and traveled hundreds of kilometers to a dense forest.

A chilling feeling washed over her. Dolly was only wearing pajamas and barefoot. For a moment, Dolly even felt like she was having a nightmare.

But in reality, she wasn't dreaming; she really was suddenly thrown into the wilderness, not even knowing where she was.

The only saving grace was that she still held the wand she had crafted herself, though she herself didn't know why it was still in her possession.

This was her only support.

171 Wilderness Survival

The cold snow buried Dolly's feet, and the biting wind pierced her body through the gaps in her pajamas, instantly waking her up.

One second she was in a warm bed, the next she was in the freezing cold, dressed in her pajamas. It was impossible for her not to be awake.

So Dolly, ignoring the coldness in her hands and feet and her surroundings, lunged at the diary lying at her feet.

However, just as Dolly was about to touch it, flames burst forth from it, and the entire diary vanished without a trace.

Clearly, whoever made it had planned everything and didn't intend for Dolly to touch it a second time.

This scene prompted Dolly to utter a British swear word.

Dolly can never go back now.

Because what was just delivered to Dolly was a door key disguised as a diary, which was then placed on Dolly's bedside table.

A door key is an enchanted item that can teleport anyone who comes into contact with it to a designated location.

In most cases, a door key is an inconspicuous everyday item, so as not to attract the attention of Muggles.

Traveling using a door key feels like having a hook behind your belly button that pulls you to your destination.

Dolly was physically strong, so she didn't feel much discomfort and was able to react quickly before grabbing the door key.

Because there are two types of door keys.

A door key will teleport the person who touches it to their destination at a specific time.

For example, in the original story, during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, a large number of timed portal keys were deployed around the world to facilitate spectators' access to the match venues.

This door key can only be used once and there is a risk of it being missed, but it can transport many people at once.

Another type of door key is instantly transmitted when someone touches it, can travel back and forth, and has no limit on the number of times.

For example, in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Crouch Jr. secretly replaced the Triwizard Cup with a Portkey so that Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory would be teleported to Little Hangleton as soon as they touched it.

In other words, Harry and Cedric could return to Hogwarts by touching the Portkey again at that time.

Unfortunately, they initially treated the transfer of the Portkey as part of the competition, and by the time they faced Voldemort, they had already lost the ability to resist.

Dolly had just touched an instant teleportation portal key, which is also the most common type of portal key and the one most often used privately by wizards.

After all, this magic is so convenient that even novice wizards who aren't very good at Apparition can use it.

In other words, Dolly can teleport herself back to her bed by touching the door key just once more.

Unfortunately, the other party had added self-destruct magic to the door key, and Dolly was still a step too late.

It's easy to see from this that the other party was determined to send Dolly to this remote place, to get her far away from the Dursleys.

So what does the other party want to do?

Is it going to target Harry, or Dolly?

Dolly thought for a second and then came to an answer.

Harry and his family are not in danger.

Voldemort is obviously not going to be resurrected now, so there won't be any dark wizards causing trouble for Harry in order to avenge Voldemort.

These extreme Death Eaters have long been purged and are now imprisoned in Azkaban.

Therefore, the target of the other party is Dolly herself.

This made Dolly frown. The only creature that could go to such lengths to infiltrate her room when she was completely unprepared could be anyone.

House-elves.

Because at the end of the first year, Dolly had already begun to set up some simple defensive magic around the Dursleys' house to prevent wizards from breaking in without permission.

However, just as Hogwarts couldn't defend against house-elves, Dolly's simple defensive magic was clearly ineffective against them as well.

So it seems that only the Malfoy family has the ability and the means to do this.

Dolly didn't get angry; instead, she laughed.

This family is really messed up. Why bother dealing with them now?

Could it be that they felt Dolly was hindering their plans and wanted to make Dolly disappear from the world completely?

If they had the guts, Dolly might actually have to think twice about them, after all, the Malfoys have never been some kind of crazy Death Eaters.

This is not an attempt to whitewash the Malfoy family, but rather a statement of fact.

Their family always sides with whoever wins; they're very typical Slytherins.

Even if Voldemort loses, the Malfoy family can still be a prominent pure-blood family under Dumbledore's influence, and vice versa.

Dolly shuddered at the thought.

Looking at her feet, which were already white from the cold, Dolly knew she couldn't stay there any longer.

She first checked her attribute points and realized that she already had 39 points.

For more than two months, nothing had happened, so Dolly could focus on accumulating attribute points.

Dolly is just a little short of upgrading her magic to level 4.

By then, Dolly's magic will be considered excellent even among adults.

Although she still couldn't fully master Dolly's own shapeshifting abilities, it was enough to deal with most wizards except for the elite ones.

This gave Dolly a lot of confidence.

But now is not the time to add points; the most important thing is to figure out how to solve the problem of freezing in the snow while wearing pajamas.

Dolly tore off two sections of her sleeves and put them on her feet, then used Transfiguration to conjure two ugly, thick cotton shoes.

The reason I didn't conjure up more beautiful and practical clothes was to save magic power.

Dolly's stamina is at full strength. Although she feels icy cold right now, she can hold on for a little while longer.

But walking barefoot in the snow is a different matter. Dolly's physical strength is still within the range of a normal person, and it is impossible for Dolly's body to ignore the cold.

Then Dolly used Transfiguration to lengthen the cuffs and seal the gaps in her clothes, putting on a full set of bodysuits.

Once the cold wind could no longer penetrate her clothes, Dolly immediately felt much warmer.

Although it was still cold, it was already at an acceptable level for Dolly.

Next, Dolly had to figure out how to leave.

First of all, Dolly can't Apparate.

This kind of magic will not be recorded in any spellbook or spellbook because it is far too dangerous; at least, Hogwarts does not allow such books to exist.

As for the other teleportation spells, Dolly could try the Summoning Spell.

However, the Summoning Charm has a distance limit. If the distance is too far, like Dumbledore, it is impossible for him to summon something from hundreds of kilometers away.

Therefore, Dolly dared not easily try this curse, in case she was thrown hundreds of kilometers away, or even abroad?

At that point, Dolly would have wasted her magic. Her wand and the magic within her body were her last resort. She had to find a way out or build a sanctuary before these powers ran out.

Not to mention, she also had to be wary of possible sneak attacks.

Having figured this out, Dolly took long strides and dashed out like an athlete.

This would certainly waste some energy, but Dolly needed to move out of this area first, and at the same time, she could look around and guess where she was.

Dolly quickly gave up on the idea.
