The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

"But I can't guarantee that he and his son won't attack me in the future."

Dumbledore smiled nonchalantly and said, "No one can ever guarantee such a thing unless you can control everyone you see."

"Believe me, he has already suffered enough this time and won't cause you any more trouble in the near future."

“If what you’re looking for is to eliminate all trouble once and for all, then I can only say, Miss Dursley, that’s not something a human being can do.”

Dolly didn't dwell on the topic, but instead said, "Well, I've already suffered enough, and I won't cause the professors any more trouble in the short term."

Professor McGonagall glanced helplessly at Dolly, then at Dumbledore and Snape, before changing Dolly's punishment to ten points.

Dolly laughed too.

If it were a perfect score, she would have accepted it willingly.

"So what intelligence did you obtain?"

"They just stole that house-elf named Dobby from Malfoy?"

Snape asked again, and Dolly didn't answer immediately. Instead, she asked, "Professor Dumbledore, what about your side? Shouldn't there be some results regarding the Chamber of Secrets?"

All three looked at Dumbledore, and finally Dumbledore spoke up: "We weren't originally planning to tell you this, but we intend to let Harry continue the investigation."

"The other side's target is also him, and Harry is a Parseltongue. If they copy some other information, Harry won't be far from knowing the truth."

Dolly thought to herself, "As expected, in the end, it's Harry who has to solve all this."

Dolly didn't object in principle, so she said, "Then this time, I and my classmates shouldn't get hurt again, including Harry, of course."

“Of course, Miss Dursley, everything is under control.”

"Is it……"

Dolly glanced thoughtfully at the three professors before uttering the words that made their expressions change drastically: "So, do you know exactly what the Dark Mark's effects are?"

Dumbledore stood up, staring intently at Dolly. Dolly waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, as if I've awakened the Dark Mark."

"And didn't you say you had everything under control?"

Snape looked at Dumbledore with amusement. Dumbledore was silent for a moment before saying, "This is indeed information we don't have."

Dolly chuckled and said, "Looks like my efforts yesterday weren't in vain. So, Professor Dumbledore, are you ready to deal with even more dark wizards?"

"We will naturally prepare that."

"Well."

Dolly then recounted all the information Dobby had provided.

Snape remained calm, Professor McGonagall's expression changed drastically, while only Dumbledore seemed lost in thought.

"Albus, this matter may not be able to be left unresolved."

Professor McGonagall said somewhat anxiously, "He might really be back..."

"No, Minerva, calm down."

Dumbledore gestured for McGonagall to be quiet and said, "The more this is the case, the more we need to give Harry time to grow up, otherwise we really won't have any time left."

"I will have some old friends help guard Hogwarts to ensure everything is in perfect order."

"Now, it's up to Harry."

The three finally reached an agreement, and Snape signaled that Dolly could leave. However, Dolly then asked a crucial question: "Where exactly is the diary? Have you really figured it out?"

“Of course, Miss Dursley.”

Dumbledore said confidently, "It's in Peter Pettigrew's hands, and with Newt's help, I've located it."

"Is that so...that's good."

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she could get some rest.

215

Chapter 215, 4th update, Valentine's Day.

"I hope there won't be any more accidents this time, Professor Dumbledore."

“Of course, Miss Dursley.”

Dolly took Dumbledore's words as a guarantee, then accepted her assigned task and left the headmaster's office.

Dolly's task was simple: to tell Harry the information she had obtained, excluding the part about the Dark Mark.

The rest is up to Harry to investigate.

Of course, Harry couldn't find anything out either, so the professors had to give him guidance.

So slowly, Ron finally realized that something was wrong with his mouse.

The reason was that Snape gave Ron's rat some magic potion, which cured its drowsy, dementia-like symptoms caused by the spell.

As a result, Ron naturally noticed the drastic change in his mouse's temperament and realized that something was wrong with the mouse.

Harry then stumbled upon the Marauder's Map and discovered that its creators included Peter Pettigrew.

Finally, they learned about Peter Pettigrew's story from the portrait, and that Peter Pettigrew had died, but only one of his fingers had been found.

Now all that's left is to find an opportunity to let Harry know that the mouse missing a finger is Peter Pettigrew.

However, these things are not Dolly's concern for the time being; let the professors do such painstaking work.

After nearly a month, Dolly returned to her normal school life.

Meanwhile, during this month, Dolly also learned the Unseen Stretching Charm from Snape, just as she had hoped.

Dolly originally wanted to learn Apparition, but Snape temporarily refused, citing Dolly's existing relationship with Dobby.

However, the Seamless Stretch Charm already made Dolly very happy.

Dolly also didn't skimp on skill points, raising the Unseen Stretch Spell to level 3.

Although it can't compare to professional-level craftsmen, Dolly has successfully created her own Seamless Stretch Charm wallet.

The small wallet is big enough to fit your arm right inside; it's bigger than a suitcase and can hold all of Dolly's belongings.

Dolly, of course, wouldn't hesitate to give such a gift to her friends, so Hermione, Cho Chang, Luna, and Harry each got one of these wallets.

What worries Dolly is that Luna has been suffering from a cold.

Even after Dolly took Luna to Mrs. Pomfrey's, there was no sign of improvement.

Dolly had originally planned to take Luna to St. Mungo's School, but Luna suddenly started to feel better these past two days.

This forced Dolly to temporarily abandon the plan.

So, while Harry was busy with his investigation, February finally arrived.

Lockhart's promised Valentine's Day has finally arrived.

Dolly is quite interested in this event.

Because through this event, she could also write greeting cards for Hermione, Cho Chang, and Luna.

Sigh, although it's a bit fickle to write greeting cards to three girls at once, Dolly really likes them!

In addition, since it was an anonymous greeting card, Dolly shamelessly wrote it down.

So on Valentine's Day, Lockhart's event finally began.

That day, the school auditorium was decorated with large, dazzling pink flowers, and many heart-shaped confetti kept falling from the light blue ceiling.

Lockhart wore a bright pink long dress that matched the decorations in the auditorium.

He also had twelve dwarfs put on golden wings, carry harps, and dress up as "Little Cupid".

The act of exchanging greeting cards began as soon as the students entered the auditorium in the morning, amidst Lockhart's loud speech.

The twelve dwarfs played music and delivered greeting cards to different people.

That's not the most embarrassing part. The most infuriating thing is that the little dwarfs will read the contents of the greeting card aloud in a completely emotionless poetry recitation.

To Dolly's surprise, the first greeting card was written to her.

Dear Dolly:

do you know?

You are like a ray of sunshine in my life. Seeing you every day makes me feel amazing!

Your smile is as sweet as chocolate, and your eyes are like two sparkling stars. Every time I look at them, I feel like I'm about to be sucked in!

Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you used magic, I just think you're really special.

Finally, I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you. After all, you are so special, and I really want to be a part of your life.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dolly was able to smile at first, but gradually she felt a chill run down her spine, and then her toes started to dig into the ground.

She listened for a while, then looked at Cho Chang and Hermione beside her and across from her, and then looked at Luna with resentment. All three girls just chuckled and shook their heads.

Dolly also felt it wasn't them, because at least they wouldn't write something so embarrassing.

Finally, amidst everyone's laughter, Dolly blushed and buried her head in her hands.

It's not that I feel ashamed, but rather that I feel extremely embarrassed. If you're going to write a love poem, at least write it well, or even just copy a couple of lines.

Now Dolly understood why Lockhart's event was so disliked by so many people.

After all, public executions are one thing, but the content on those greeting cards is even more varied, with some being downright maddening torture.

Dolly was overwhelmed when she gradually realized that she had received a lot of greeting cards, more than twenty in total.

She had been hoping that some of the girls might have written to her.

Later, Dolly completely lost the ability to think and had no way of knowing who might have written it.

The situation on Qiu Zhang's side has improved somewhat, but not by much; she has also received more than ten.

Even Hermione received three, which left Dolly in disbelief. She asked, "You have people who like you?"

Hermione's words naturally earned her a twisting motion at the waist, which hurt Dolly and made her feel a little disappointed.

With other people's love letters in hand, Hermione would no longer be able to distinguish the love letters she herself had written.
