The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Hermione, standing to the side, also looked at Dobby coldly. After learning that Dobby was the culprit who carried out the plan to teleport Dolly away, Hermione had no mercy for Dobby. After all, this guy almost killed her best friend.

...Yes, they're friends!

And so, time passed by, and after a full half hour, Dobby finally stopped trembling like a leaf, although he still huddled up in a ball, covering his head, not daring to look at Dolly, and not daring to show any other reaction.

"What should we do? Torture them with spells, or use some other potions?"

Hermione spoke, passing the message to Dolly.

Dolly then added, "I'll go to Professor Snape tomorrow to get the Truth Potion, and then everything will be clear."

Chapter 213, Part 2: More than submission.

Dobby immediately struggled, but could only crawl on the ground in the shadows.

"No, please don't!"

"Don't make me betray my master! I'd rather die! Please!"

Dobby attempted suicide by kowtowing, but Dolly had anticipated this, and Dobby was now unable to harm himself; he could only writhe incessantly.

"In order not to betray your master, you can hurt other innocent wizards, such as me, and Harry."

"Dobby, is this really something you want to do?"

Dolly's words made Hermione glance at her again.

Would that be useful for a house-elves?

In most cases, it would be of no use, but the house-elf in front of me is Dobby.

Dobby paused in his struggle, then looked at Dolly with disbelief, his eyes filled with not only fear but also deep guilt.

"Dobby, Dobby doesn't want to hurt Lord Potter, nor Lord Dursley, nor anyone else."

"But Dobby must obey his master's orders, and his master's orders are absolute..."

"You obey your master's orders to harm other wizards?"

Dobby struggled again, unable to answer the question.

A typical house-elves wouldn't be in as much pain as Dobby, but Dobby's behavior solidified Dolly's belief in something.

"Since you obey your master so much, what would you do if your master asked you to kill him? I'm very curious."

Hermione gave her a "you're ruthless" look. Anyone who understands the thought process of house-elves knows how fatal this question is for them.

On one side are the master's orders that cannot be disobeyed, and on the other side is the master that must never be harmed.

House-elves could never choose one of these options to pursue; in the end, the only thing they could do was commit suicide.

"Oh, and you can't commit suicide, self-harm, or refuse to carry out orders in any way."

Dolly anticipated the potential loophole and immediately plugged it.

Dobby froze, his eyes turning ashen.

This kind of question, which is beyond the limits of his cognitive abilities, is simply too cruel for a house-elves.

That's the kind of cruelty that Kodory wanted.

Although Dobby is different from typical house-elves, he has a greater degree of free thought.

However, relying solely on his own free thought is clearly not enough to break free from the constraints between house-elves and wizards, so Dolly still needs to put more effort into this aspect.

Even the series of questions just now were merely appetizers; what Dolly was about to do was what would truly drive Dobby crazy.

Can't figure it out?

"Then keep thinking until you get an answer."

"Otherwise, I would never let you rest unless you die."

Dobby remained petrified, while Dolly calmly watched him.

If Dolly felt a pang of pity for Dobby during their last meeting, she was able to suppress all those feelings this time.

The reason is simple: Dolly almost died in France.

If Dobby was indeed the house-pok that made the move, even if Dobby himself was unwilling, he would still be considered an accomplice.

Dolly, naturally, had to use enough force to punish Dobby.

Only in this way can Dolly proceed with the next step.

If Dolly softens her stance now, she will truly be harming Dobby, because he has not yet escaped the clutches of the Malfoy family.

And so, Dobby endured the most agonizing night of his life; his soul and consciousness were on the verge of shattering.

At dawn the next day, Dolly finally got the information she wanted: Malfoy was about to wake up.

Ultimately, the solution to Dobby's problem lies in rescuing him from the Malfoy family.

The simplest way to rescue Dobby is to have Malfoy or Lucius give Dobby a piece of clothing.

Normally this is impossible.

Because simply giving clothes can be misinterpreted by the house-elves as a request to air or iron them, the owner must declare that they want to get rid of the house-elves when giving them clothes in order to truly break the contract with them.

However, the same problem remains: they are all different.

He has the highest degree of freedom; once he receives the clothes, he can break away from his owner.

In the original book, Harry used this trick to stuff a pair of socks into his already damaged diary.

Enraged, Lucius threw the diary at Dobby. Dobby opened it and saw the socks inside, immediately concluding that Lucius was trying to get rid of him.

Dobby understood that Lucius had no intention of sending him away, and Lucius could have retracted his order, but the contract was still dissolved.

This is a unique method for breaking the contract with Dobby; otherwise, it's really not easy to free a house-pom-poly.

So Dolly took out paper and pen and began to write a letter, writing in crooked handwriting: "Master Draco, I have discovered the Dursley Wizard's secret base. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"There might be evidence here that defeated her."

After Dolly finished writing, she had Spots deliver it to Malfoy's bedside.

Dot cannot take Dolly directly to Malfoy's side; that would be a violation of school rules and regulations.

However, if it's just for delivering a letter, then it doesn't matter much.

Dot didn't know the contents of the letter, so he didn't know that Dolly had set a trap for Malfoy, and he did it without any pressure.

Upon waking, Malfoy immediately searched for Dobby's whereabouts, but naturally, he couldn't find him.

Just as Malfoy was furious, thinking that the damned house-elf had disobeyed his orders and returned to the Malfoy house, he saw the note left by Dolly.

He immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the location written on the note, without even considering whether it might be a trap.

Dolly's worries were unfounded.

Dolly had initially thought that if Malfoy realized it was a trap, she could use a challenge or something similar to lure him out.

In reality, Malfoy is just a second-year wizard who now relies on Dobby for support.

Once Dobby disappeared and he saw the note Dobby left behind, which included the temptation to defeat Dolly, Malfoy had absolutely no room for hesitation.

He didn't even bring Gore and Crabbe, thinking that since Dobby was there, it would be enough for Dobby to bring him back later.

Just like Dolly, she could casually Apparate through Hogwarts with a house-elf.

Soon, Malfoy arrived at the location Dolly had written down, which was the floor where the Room of Requirement was located.

Dolly didn't lie about the secret base, partly to prevent Malfoy from already knowing the location of the Room of Requirement.

As it turns out, Dolly was really overthinking it.

Dobby, where are you?

Looking at the dark passage, Malfoy felt a chill run down his spine.

Although coming out now isn't considered a violation of school rules, there are still hardly any people on campus at this time. He really doesn't want to run into the monster in the secret room...

Then he saw Dori Desley raising her wand at him.

Dolly smiled slightly and, without any hesitation, used the Confusion Charm.

At the same time that Malfoy was affected, Hermione and Spots appeared with Dobby, who was tied up.

Dobby saw that Dolly's spell had hit Malfoy, and instinct drove him to still protect Malfoy, but unfortunately he was completely unable to move.

Then Dolly came to Malfoy's side, grabbed his penis, and stuffed it into his arms.

Then he said, "It's Christmas now, and this is Pansy in front of you. You're going to give her this dress as a Christmas present, understand?"

Malfoy nodded blankly, looked at the clothes in his hands, and walked towards Dobby with a proud smile on his lips.

He naturally acted this way when facing Pansy.

Since Pansy only had the right to flatter him, and now that he was giving Pansy a Christmas present, what could Pansy possibly refuse?

Dolly, meanwhile, continued to point her wand at Malfoy from behind; she had just used a Confusion Charm on him.

The Confusion Charm is clearly not a suitable spell to use on classmates, but compared to the three Unforgivable Curses, this spell will at most punish Dolly.

Moreover, Dolly used a homemade wand to cast the spell, so the Ministry of Magic couldn't detect anything amiss.

After that, as long as Dolly used her homemade wand to cast other spells a few more times, no one would be able to find any evidence.

The Confusion Charm differs from the Soul-Stealing Charm because the Soul-Stealing Charm is permanent.

Those afflicted by the Soul-Stealing Curse will completely obey the caster's commands without requiring any further explanation or guidance.

But the Confusion Spell is different.

A confusion spell causes the person under its spell to become confused about time, place, and what they are supposed to do.

While it can achieve the goal of controlling the other party in a certain sense, it requires guidance in terms of language, props, and environment; even a slight mistake can cause the spell to fail.

Most importantly, it doesn't last long.

Its duration is even shorter, especially when used on wizards.

Therefore, the threat of this curse and the subsequent punishment are not that serious.
