The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

With Dolly's comforting words, Vernon and Penny gradually began to smile, and Penny even busied herself going downstairs to prepare dinner for Dolly.

Vernon tactfully left the room, since Hermione and Harry were still there, and Harry obviously had something to say to Dolly.

Moreover, there's a Dumbledore downstairs who Vernon needs to entertain.

Vernon hadn't given Dumbledore a friendly look before, but now he had to thank him sincerely.

This wasn't Vernon being snobbish; it was simply something a father should do when he regained his senses.

After the two people left, Harry finally spoke up and said what she wanted to say.

"I'm sorry, sister."

Harry's voice was still trembling; he didn't really like to cry.

Before Dolly arrived, Harry had even forgotten how to cry.

After all, being bullied had become a daily occurrence. When Dolly bullied him back then, Harry's choice was to fight her instead.

That's right, Harry, as a Gryffindor, had already shown strong signs of this.

Even in the original story, Harry was never the one who was simply bullied. He always fought back from childhood and was happy to fight back.

In particular, the reason why his sister suffered all this is most likely related to him.

Then Harry's tears streamed down his face, blurring his glasses, which Dolly couldn't bear to watch.

She took off Harry's glasses, cleaned them for him, and then handed them back to him, saying, "This has little to do with you, Harry."

Dolly said earnestly, "Although we all know that you carry that guy's hatred on your shoulders, as your family, we will naturally be affected."

“But I will never hate or resent you because of this, Harry, because we are family.”

“Now there’s a murderer who wants to kill my family, and also wants to kill me and my parents. How can I blame you instead of the murderer?”

The logic is actually quite simple, which is why Dolly never showed any emotion or annoyance towards Harry.

Of course, in reality, it is not easy to do this.

The reason Vernon and Petunia disliked Harry in the original book was largely because they knew that one day dangerous magic would come back to haunt Harry and bring life and death to the family.

But at that time, Vernon and Petunia clearly didn't consider Harry family yet.

However, at this point in time, Vernon and Petunia would absolutely not blame Harry for Dolly being in danger.

Because, as Dolly said, they are family.

Harry cried even harder this time, and Dolly didn't try to stop him anymore.

Instead, it left room for Harry, after all, he was still just a 13-year-old kid.

However, Harry stopped very soon.

This was simply a concentrated release of his emotions and stress from the past few days.

Dolly, Vernon, and Petunia didn't blame Harry, but that doesn't mean Harry wouldn't blame himself.

In particular, he knew very well who might have been responsible for Harry being thrown into France.

"Sister, there's something I have to tell you: I know who's behind all of this."

Dolly raised an eyebrow and said, "So you've finally decided to tell me?"

Harry was stunned and looked at Dolly in disbelief. Dolly smiled and said, "Although my skills in defense and area magic are still very shallow, not just anyone can come in."

"And after coming in, they didn't hurt me but just threw me a door key. It seems like they wanted me to disappear rather than kill me."

"So who exactly has the ability and motive to do this? I only know of one person."

Harry murmured, "Sister, do you know Dobby?"

Dobby is the thing Harry has been hiding from Dolly for the past six months. Dobby approached him during the previous summer vacation and told him that he would be in danger.

They even tried to stop him from going to Hogwarts more than once, causing him trouble, but Harry always thought it was some kind of crazy prank.

196 Hermione is staying tonight

Dolly didn't answer immediately, but looked at Harry calmly.

Of course she knew Dobby.

It's not just because of the plot of the previous life, but also because Dolly has already met Dobby in this life.

Dolly was able to find the diary—well, the holiday notebook—thanks to Dobby's guidance, even though she wasn't happy about it.

This is also why Dolly didn't continue, since Dobby could still become friends with Harry.

At least for now, Dolly doesn't intend to sentence Dobby to death, since he's a house-elf who must obey his master's orders.

"Sister, how much do you really know?"

Harry asked a rather boring question, which was boring because it was unanswerable.

Dolly knows so much, where should I begin to recount her knowledge in a way that matches Harry's understanding?

If Dolly tells Harry something he doesn't know, then everyone there will just remain confused, with even more question marks popping into their not-so-bright minds.

When people face too many unsolvable but necessary problems, they are prone to becoming irritable and easily angered, and Harry clearly has this problem as well.

Dolly wasn't about to indulge Harry, so she remained silent.

Harry finally realized that he was now reporting to Dolly.

Harry quickly spoke up, saying, "Let me go first."

Harry then recounted his several encounters with Do.

It was basically the same as what Dolly knew and guessed.

Dobby's motivation remains unchanged; he is a kind-hearted house-elf with a rebellious spirit.

Knowing that Lucius was going to throw Hogwarts into chaos and kill Harry, the kind-hearted Lucius wanted to stop Harry from staying at Hogwarts and protect him.

Unfortunately, it couldn't disobey its master's orders, nor could it reveal the truth of the conspiracy. In the end, it could only become a pitiful creature that made things difficult for Harry at every turn and ultimately accomplished nothing.

Dobby was like that in the original story, but Dobby now seems even more pitiful.

Since it had to target Dolly, it's uncertain whether Harry will still like it.

"So Lucius is the mastermind behind all of this?"

Hermione stood up agitatedly, her face tense with anger.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever felt the emotion called hatred.

Although she had never met Lucius, he was a very famous figure in the wizarding world, yet he went and hurt a little girl like Dolly.

How can someone like that have the right to live in this world?

"Let's go tell Dumbledore about this now, and then have him notify the Ministry of Magic so that Lucius can be arrested!"

Hermione brandished her fist, ready to take legal action in the magical world.

Now it was Dolly's turn to teach Hermione some magic.

"You might not believe it, but Lucius is a supporter of Fudge, who is now running for Minister of Magic."

"It's almost impossible to prosecute him without evidence."

Dolly's words brought Hermione back to reality.

Her eyes reddened again, and she said unwillingly, "But he wanted to kill you, and he even sent his own house-elves."

"Can't we just capture Dobby and then figure out a way to extract the secret from him using magic?"

Harry even helped Dolly answer, saying, "Probably not. No one would use truth serum or anything like that on Dobby without evidence."

"Unless... we catch it ourselves and then use truth serum or a spell on it."

"This kind of thing..."

Harry didn't continue.

Leaving aside Truth Potion and Imperius Curse, which makes people tell the truth, these are things that even novice wizards or adult wizards are not qualified to touch.

The mere thought of privately executing a house-elf is something Harry and Hermione cannot morally justify.

Dolly was delighted with this, though she was worried that Hermione might actually try to capture Dobby.

Now that the two have given up, it's up to Dolly to persuade them.

So Dolly said, "I think Hermione understands what kind of intelligent beings house-elves are."

"Although they can move and cast spells on their own, they are not intelligent beings with autonomy in essence, so there is no point in targeting them."

“We must take revenge, at least we must take revenge on Lucius.”

As soon as Dolly finished speaking, Hermione immediately followed up, saying, "Even if we can't do anything to Lucius for now, we can still take revenge on Malfoy!"

Dolly was taken aback, and was about to say that there was no point in bullying Malfoy.

As a result, Harry's eyes widened immediately, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he said, "That's right, Malfoy!"

"When the new semester starts, I'm going to make Malfoy regret ever coming to Hogwarts!"

Dolly kept what she wanted to say to herself.

Although every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, Malfoy is not beyond redemption.

However, since Lucius targeted Dolly instead of Harry, Dolly felt less guilty about bullying Malfoy.

However, bullying Malfoy is really not important.

Dolly waited for Harry and Hermione to calm down a bit before saying, "The most important thing for the next six months is to successfully resolve the Chamber of Secrets issue."

"as well as……"

Dolly hesitated for two seconds, but still didn't tell anyone about Peter Pettigrew.

This matter is of great importance, as it also involves Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. If it is not handled properly, it is uncertain whether Harry and Sirius will ever have another chance to meet.

Even if Dolly and Dumbledore capture Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, who has been wrongly accused for over a decade and spent over a decade in Azkaban, may not necessarily be exonerated.

That's how it is in the original work.

Although many people saw Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black never escaped being a wanted criminal until his death.
