The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Although Dolly's basic geographical knowledge is passable, it's still too much to ask her to determine her location on Earth using temperature, trees, and terrain.

However, Dolly is now certain that she has been dumped in the wilderness, and there don't seem to be any magical creatures around. It seems that the other party's real purpose was to dump her here, and there are no further plans for attack.

Dolly ran until her body warmed up, and then she understood the logic behind it.

When making the door key, the person making the door key is also required to have been to that place.

In other words, it's impossible for the other party to simply use the key to throw Dolly to the ends of the earth; they don't have that ability, nor have they ever been to that location.

Therefore, Dolly boldly concludes that she is most likely still in the UK, or at most in one of the UK's neighboring countries, and cannot be too far away.

Otherwise, such a key could not be made by one person alone; it would require the combined efforts of many wizards.

This is completely inconsistent with the fact that the door key exists in the form of a diary.

As for why the other side didn't attack again, it's obvious that they didn't have enough people, weren't sure if they could capture Dolly, or perhaps they didn't have that plan at all and were just trying to throw Dolly out.

This seems ridiculous.

Why go through all that trouble just to leave Dolly to freeze to death in the wild?

Dolly ran and thought, and finally found a ravine.

This area extends about half a meter inward, with no snow accumulation, and even some branches and dead leaves inside, clearly indicating that it was once used as a nest by some animal.

However, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Dolly walked in without any hesitation and waved her wand to clear a space for one person.

Then she used magic to reinforce the snow around the valley, and finally lit the collected firewood. Dolly finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With her physical strength, she could easily last two more days without eating or drinking.

Moreover, she has a magic wand, so it's not impossible for her to catch some prey; in other words, her survival is not a problem.

As for keeping warm, that can be solved by a continuous campfire.

Dolly getting firewood was easy; she could simply use magic to chop down trees, which wasn't difficult for her.

This also gave Dolly more time and energy to think about the other person's motives.

Clearly, their goal was to dump Dolly here.

As for the remaining plans, they are no longer Dolly's concern.

This temporarily ruled out the possibility of Voldemort seeking revenge against her, and she was essentially bait for the problems and actions to come.

So who is the person who wants to fish?

It couldn't possibly be Harry. Harry probably already knows about her disappearance and has written to the professors at Hogwarts.

The professor, upon hearing the news, will surely rush over...

Thinking about this, a clue came to Dolly's mind.

So, it really is because of the locked room?

Escape rooms are now likely heavily regulated, so anyone with designs on escape rooms can no longer unleash the basilisk.

In order to carry out further tampering, they would have to find a bait to lure Dumbledore, the big fish, out of Hogwarts, and then take advantage of the opportunity to act.

This also explains why Dolly had to be the bait, not Harry.

If Harry becomes the bait, then what awaits the other side won't just be Dumbledore, but the entire Order of the Phoenix's sharks.

What a good plan!

Dolly, roasting her hands, couldn't help but admire the other person's actions.

This is no longer the plan of a fool; rather, it reflects rigorous consideration and pragmatic action, and it doesn't seem like something the Malfoys could come up with.

Who is it?

Dolly really couldn't figure out who was secretly working against her at Hogwarts.

Unless this person is not a character from the original work, but that would be too far-fetched.

After much deliberation, Dolly ultimately couldn't find the answer.

Her body had warmed up, so she turned her attention to her shelter.

Dolly felt she couldn't just wait like this, and even though the other party's target didn't seem to be her, Dolly also had to be wary of beasts or other dark wizards.

So Dolly took her wand and left the shelter, starting by selecting logs of a size she could pull. She dragged a large pile of logs to the shelter and then used them to form walls and a roof.

He then cast a series of spells inside and outside the house before finally breathing a sigh of relief and relaxing.

It was already afternoon, and Dolly had been working for over six hours.

Although we were starving, thankfully the problem of warmth was solved.

Dolly then began to think about how to hunt.

Looking around, there's nothing but bare trees and snow, making hunting on foot clearly impractical.

After thinking for a while, Dolly had an idea.

He sculpted a large white rabbit out of snow, placed it on an open ground not far from the shelter, and then used a transformation spell to make it turn gray and simply move.

This is the solution Dolly has come up with: since she can't easily hunt the prey herself, she'll have the prey come to her.

If this tactic doesn't catch her prey today, then Sori will have to consider other methods at night or tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, Dolly sat down to rest.

Her home and Hogwarts must be in complete chaos by now, right?

Hogwarts was alright, but Dolly couldn't imagine how worried her parents would be.

Although Dolly wasn't their daughter in the traditional sense, she inherited the original owner's memories, and their close relationship over the past year made her consider them family.

And Hermione and Cho Chang... I wonder if they know about this?

They definitely know; they can't be kept in the dark.

Because, as is Dolly's habit, even though she spends the first few days of the Christmas holidays with her family, she still calls two people.

After all, figuring out how to play next is something that needs to be planned.

Besides, after Harry discovered Dolly's disappearance, his first thought was probably to contact Hermione and Cho Chang to ask if Dolly had gone to visit them.

Thinking about this, Dolly couldn't help but wonder just how anxious they would be.

Would I cry for her?

172 Searching for Dolly

"She's not with you?"

Harry scratched his head; his hair was a mess and hadn't even been washed.

Harry was pulled up by his aunt and uncle to search for Dolly, which made him a little upset.

Anyway, Dolly will definitely go to play with Hermione and Cho Chang again. She can't go on an adventure somewhere so early, can she?

However, after Harry finished calling Hermione and Cho Chang, he came to his senses.

Something seems off about the problem.

"Hedwig, have you seen Dolly go out?"

Harry immediately ran back to his room to ask Hedwig.

Unlike in the original story where Hedwig had to be kept in a cage, the current Hedwig has her own little house outside the window, which can protect her from the wind and sun.

However, Hedwig still preferred to spend the night in Harry's room, but this did not prevent her from continuing to have the nocturnal nature.

When it gets bored, it stands by the window and looks out. The window faces the main entrance, so Hedwig can see everything in the direction of the main entrance and even the street.

This is actually a hunting instinct.

So when Harry asks Hedwig, he usually gets a nod of approval.

However, Hedwig shook her head and even tilted her head to look at Harry, as if asking where she had gone.

Harry's heart began to race.

Dolly can't exactly go play with Luna, can she?

Or perhaps they went to some magical place?

With a last glimmer of hope, Harry quickly put on his clothes, grabbed his wand, and went to the door to summon the Knight Bus.

Harry's heart sank when he saw the car arrive almost immediately.

"Have you seen my sister, Dolly Dursley, the blonde girl, who is very beautiful?"

Harry looked at the ticket seller with hopeful eyes, while Stan yawned and said, "Please, Harry, it's Christmas holiday today."

"We're already angry that we're being forced to work overtime today, but to make matters worse, nobody takes the bus today, and you're the first one."

"As for your sister, maybe she went to play with some good friends?"

Harry watched the Knight Bus leave, looking dejected. Petunia and Vernon, who had been watching from a distance, could no longer sit still.

Penny was so nervous she was trembling, while Vernon gritted his teeth and managed to stay calm.

He approached Harry and said seriously, "Harry, this is a conversation between two men."

“I know it’s a bit difficult to ask you to use magic to find Dolly, but at least give me a verdict now.”

"So, did Dolly disappear in the Muggle world or in the wizarding world?"

"If it's the former, we'll call the police. If it's the latter, we'll go to the Ministry of Magic."

Vernon didn't understand the magical world, but his words were undoubtedly rational and calm, which gave Harry's panicked emotions direction.

He rushed to Dolly's room, stood at the door and carefully observed her, then thought for a while before casting a spell.

"Traces revealed!"

Harry only vaguely remembered this spell when he saw Hermione use it once, and even her wand-waving posture wasn't entirely correct.

But miraculously, Harry still managed to use the spell.

This is probably what makes Harry stronger than the average wizard: he can better utilize his emotional power to make magic stronger and even create miracles.
