Dobby knew that Harry Potter was also at Hogwarts, and that Harry Potter was a good person who killed the person whose name couldn't be revealed.
Dobby shuddered, but mustered his courage and said, "Because Harry killed him, the Malfoys no longer have to be afraid, and Dobby is grateful to him."
"But now he's in danger, so Dobby has to save him."
Hermione suddenly realized and said, "Harry and Ron missed their train and had to drive their flying cars to school because of you?"
Dobby scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Dobby didn't expect Mr. Potter to be so bold; he almost got killed."
"Dobby was filled with regret and banged his head a hundred times before he forgave himself. Lucius thought I had gone mad."
Hermione, hearing this, patted Dobby's head with a touch of tenderness.
Dobby was startled, but he quickly accepted Hermione's kindness and thanked her sincerely.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, my lady."
“My name is Hermione Granger, you can just call me Miss Granger.”
“Yes, Miss Granger.”
Dobby had just met Hermione; after all, compared to Dolly and Harry, Hermione's reputation hadn't yet spread beyond the school.
"So, that diary was indeed sent to Lockhart?"
"You didn't lie to me that time?"
Dobby quickly replied, "I absolutely did not lie, Master. Lucius did indeed give the diary to Professor Lockhart, but I know nothing about what happened after that."
"So it wasn't you who copied the diary?"
Dobby shook his head repeatedly, and Dolly and Hermione exchanged a glance, both sensing some disappointment.
Forcibly bringing Dobby to her side was undoubtedly a very violent and dangerous move, and now that Dory has succeeded, it should be a time for celebration.
However, Dobby is currently providing rather limited information.
Is Dolly going to capture Lockhart and teach him a lesson with Truth Potion?
That's obviously impossible.
Because Dumbledore wouldn't allow her to do such a thing.
While Dolly's actions towards Malfoy weren't illegal, they most likely crossed Dumbledore's line.
If Dumbledore were to do the same to the professor, he would have almost no reason to allow or forgive Dolly, since he wasn't really biased towards her.
He had simply reached some kind of tacit understanding with Dolly and didn't want to fight with her anymore.
Or, Dolly could stay out of it herself, but have Harry do it?
Dumbledore's goal was undoubtedly to train Harry.
So perhaps it's reasonable for Sori to give Harry the current information so that he can continue the investigation?
Just then, Dobby spoke up again.
As if sensing Dolly's disappointment, he said, "Master, I actually have more information to tell you."
Dolly glanced at Dobby in surprise, and Dobby immediately trembled and said, "It's...it's the Dark Mark."
Dolly looked at Dobby in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"
"Lucius's Dark Mark... lit up once!"
Dolly asked Dobby several times to make sure he wasn't dreaming before she believed him.
The Dark Mark on Lucius's body has been activated?
Has Voldemort returned?
No, it's impossible.
It wasn't that Dolly thought Voldemort had no way to resurrect her.
Rather, if Voldemort wanted to resurrect himself, he would definitely need Harry's blood; otherwise, he believed he couldn't deal with the magic in Harry's body.
In other words, Voldemort would only be able to resurrect satisfied after Harry suffers at least one attack; before that, he would at most find an unlucky guy like Quirrell to borrow their body.
But if it wasn't Voldemort, how could Lucius's Dark Mark have been detected?
Could it be caused by the diary and Peter Pettigrew? Is their combination really that powerful?
Dolly pondered this seriously, unaware of the true level of the young Voldemort described in the diary.
This Voldemort is, after all, just a soul. Even if he had a physical body, he would be destroyed once the diary was destroyed.
Of course, Voldemort must have possessed a considerable amount of magical knowledge by that time.
After all, creating Horcruxes was already the most advanced and evil form of dark magic, so Voldemort had no reason not to know anything else.
After much deliberation, Dolly felt increasingly determined that she had to meet with Dumbledore.
If Voldemort's diary and Peter Pettigrew can indeed activate the Dark Mark, then Dumbledore, or rather Hogwarts, might be facing more than just one person next.
So Dolly wrote to Dumbledore again, but before waiting for his reply, she was still thinking about whether there were any other ways to break through.
"If we can't find Lockhart, then we'll have to go find Lucius."
Hermione said, "Lucius must be terrified of Dobby being with us. Perhaps we can get some information from him."
Dolly nodded, but remained noncommittal about the suggestion.
Although Lucius now certainly knows more than the Lucius in the original story, after all, according to Dobby, he and Peter Pettigrew may have already met.
But Lucius could not possibly reveal these things, otherwise, regardless of his motives or whether he had performed any meritorious service, he would certainly be thrown into Azkaban without any room for negotiation.
Just because the Dark Mark was rekindled, Dolly felt that the Ministry of Magic had shown mercy by not killing Lucius inhumanely.
However, while Lucius couldn't tell Dolly about this, he could discuss it with Snape.
After all, Snape might be able to get Lucius to talk, since they are the closest of friends.
Thinking about these questions, Dolly first settled Dobby into the dormitory.
Dobby definitely can't stay in the dorms forever, so Dolly plans to let him live with the other Hogwarts house-elves on weekdays.
When needed, we'll call Dobby over to help.
Of course, Dobby would not be liked by the house-elves of Hogwarts; they would think Dobby was a freak.
But it's best to let Dobby adapt to this situation on his own, since Dobby's treatment is much better now than in the original story.
If Dobby in the original story could adapt, there's even less reason for the current Dobby not to adapt.
And so, Dolly began another day of classes.
It wasn't until evening that Dolly finally received a reply from Dumbledore; it was truly not easy to have a conversation with him.
This time, Dolly went to the principal's office again.
Contrary to Dolly's expectations, Snape and Professor McGonagall were both there, indicating that this was clearly a very formal meeting.
"So, Dursley, you used a Confusion Charm on Malfoy?"
The moment Dolly appeared, Snape spoke, his tone stern, almost as if he were about to unleash a torrent of abuse.
“I don’t remember you being a student who aspired to go to Azkaban. I thought you were a good girl, Dursley.”
"Such a vicious spell, and you even stole Mr. Malfoy's house-elf. Do you think the Ministry of Magic has no laws left to punish you?"
"Or do you still feel that Hogwarts no longer has rules and regulations suitable for you?"
“Professor McGonagall, I’m deducting 20 points from her. What do you think?”
Professor McGonagall glared at Dolly and said, "Professor Snape, I would also deduct 20 points from her, and 40 points from her blank."
“Our arrogant and unrestrained Miss Dursley should know just how outrageous she has been.”
Dolly watched calmly as Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall punished her, without any complaints.
Dolly foresaw this when she cast the Confusion Charm on Malfoy.
After all, Dots was there, which meant Dumbledore could know the whole story. The only question was whether Dumbledore was willing to ask.
It's clear that Dumbledore wants to know the details, and Spot naturally can't hide it from him either, even though he and Dolly are very close.
This is one of the reasons why Dolly wanted Dobby.
Dobby, however good, is still a house-elf of Hogwarts, while Dobby can become Dolly's first loyal and magical servant.
"What, aren't you going to try to deny it? I thought you were going to launch into a long-winded explanation."
Snape appeared to be mocking Dolly, but his words implied that Dolly could try to get leniency.
So Dolly said, "Professors, you handled it correctly; you used school rules to resolve the issue."
“I will also deal with this matter through legal means tomorrow. I will hire a lawyer to sue the Malfoy family in Wizengamo. I want to see how they, as Death Eaters, should apologize to me.”
Dolly's words made Snape gasp for breath.
However, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating his satisfaction with Dolly's actions.
Professor McGonagall looked slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Dolly to expand the battlefield to Wizengamor, and hesitated for a moment.
It wasn't that Professor McGonagall was afraid.
Rather, it's because Professor McGonagall also agrees with the logic of resolving school problems within the school itself.
If Dolly were to take this matter to Wizengamor, it would surely become known throughout the entire wizarding world. If they couldn't bring Lucius to justice, Dolly and Hogwarts would become the target of public criticism.
So Professor McGonagall hesitated, wondering whether she should say a few words of advice to Dolly.
Kodori, however, calmly gazed ahead, waiting for the professors to propose a new solution.
That's right, the new plan.
Dolly had no intention of killing Lucius with a single blow; that was simply unrealistic.
The key question is whether Dobby is just a house-elf or a freak who betrayed his master. How much credibility does Dobby's testimony carry?
Unless Wizengamor uses a truth potion or similar magic on Lucius, Lucius will still be able to maintain his position thanks to his wealth.
Just like when Voldemort fell, Lucius was able to stand firm back then, let alone now.
“A long legal battle is of little use, Miss Dursley.”
Dumbledore finally spoke slowly and deliberately, saying, "Besides, you have already taken your revenge, haven't you?"
