The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Thankfully, Dolly had secretly looked up some popular short poems from Britain and France beforehand, otherwise all her efforts would have been in vain.

However, Luna only received a greeting card from Dolly. Dolly wondered what her expression would be when she received it, and whether she would be happy.

During dinner that evening, Dolly saw Luna. As if sensing something, Luna gave Dolly a bright and lovely smile, a smile so radiant that Dolly's heart skipped a beat.

Ah, Luna, so cute!

It's just a little small...

Dolly, lost in her daydreams, was interrupted by Lockhart.

He declared himself the winner of the day, having received a total of forty-one greeting cards.

Dolly recalls that the number differs slightly from the original story.

Lockhart's image is indeed quite appealing among students; it's just a question of how many boys have written to him.

With that thought in mind, Dolly finally finished the rather unpleasant meal.

Just when Dolly thought Valentine's Day would pass by like this, the secret room was opened again that night.

This time, no one was injured again.

Because of the new school rules, almost all students started their rest early.

The reason for using "almost" is that, naturally, there are still unlucky people who get caught.

The person who contracted the virus was Hagrid.

Yes, Hagrid, who was in charge of guarding the Forbidden Forest, was petrified.

Fortunately, Hagrid had giant blood, so his life was not in danger.

Furthermore, Hogwarts had already prepared a potion to treat petrification, so Hagrid was treated with the resurrection potion the moment he was discovered.

Haiger will be able to recover his health in a maximum of half a month.

Dolly couldn't help but write to Dumbledore to ask if everything was still under control.

Dumbledore's answer remained affirmative, so Dumbledore could only continue to wait.

Hagrid's current predicament means that more information about the secret room has been revealed.

The Basilisk is a magical creature capable of petrifying Hagrid. When Harry came to Dolly to discuss it, Dolly just gave a few perfunctory replies and mentioned it.

Harry, Harry, and his friends looked like they suddenly understood.

They discovered the spider's corpse in Hagrid's cabin, and the Forbidden Forest was also in turmoil due to the opening of the secret chamber, which caused an eight-eyed spider to appear.

Now that everything is confirmed, all that remains is to open the Chamber of Secrets, eliminate the Basilisk, and restore true peace to Hogwarts.

The appearance of the basilisk has clearly affected the situation at Hogwarts.

The Daily Prophet unsurprisingly reported on the incident, and parents expressed their concern.

However, unlike in the original story, Lucius was very quiet this time. Without his instigation, the whole Hogwarts seemed very quiet.

The parents' protests ultimately fizzled out, with only a few choosing to temporarily suspend their studies and return home, while the majority continued to believe in Dumbledore.

Harry, Harry, and his friends continued their tireless investigation into the Basilisk.

Then one day, he happened to see Peter Pettigrew walking, which was naturally the result of Dumbledore's deliberate guidance.

Now all the clues connected, and Harry believed he had discovered everything.

It's Ron's mouse, Peter Pettigrew, who has been impersonating a mouse for ten years. Now he has obtained the diary and wants to open the Chamber of Secrets and destroy the entire Hogwarts.

With the truth revealed, all that remained was to capture Peter Pettigrew and resolve the locked-room crisis.

Dolly was very curious about what the ultimate driving force was.

It was Ginny who originally caused all of this to happen.

Ginny was the first to obtain the diary, which drained her life force, causing her body to gradually weaken. Finally, guided by the diary, she entered the secret room.

Harry followed Ginny in to save her, then learned the truth about the diary, fought the Basilisk, and finally resolved the crisis in the Chamber of Secrets.

So this time, someone should be playing a similar role, right?

Dolly suddenly felt something was wrong as she thought about this.

Suddenly, Dolly remembered something and was about to run to find Luna when she heard a commotion breaking out on the school grounds.

Dolly grabbed someone and finally understood what had happened.

Lockhart was attacked by the Basilisk.

This time, it wasn't petrification; instead, the person was swept away and pulled into an underground waterway network through a passage, on the verge of being swallowed up and eaten in a secret room.

The students panicked, Dolly was taken aback, but then her expression calmed down.

So the bait was Lockhart? Oh well, that's fine then.

Looks like the final battle is about to begin!

Sure enough, Dolly soon learned that Dumbledore was currently reporting the Chamber of Secrets to the Ministry of Magic and was not at school.

Myrtle, who had been petrified, has now recovered and told Harry how to open the Chamber of Secrets, because she had witnessed Peter Pettigrew do it herself.

So, like a reckless fool, Harry led his two friends and rushed into the Chamber of Secrets.

Although Dolly knew that Snape and Professor McGonagall were secretly helping her behind the scenes.

In fact, Dumbledore could Apparate back at any time, but he still sighed at Harry's recklessness.

However, none of this has anything to do with Dolly anymore.

The whole school was in chaos, even as Hermione and Cho Chang were taking refuge in their dormitories.

Dolly went to the school hospital alone, to visit Hagrid and help Mrs. Pomfrey prepare medicine.

Mrs. Pomfrey initially blamed Dolly for not seeking refuge first.

Seeing that Dolly was incredibly familiar with potions and was actually helping her, Madam Pomfrey quickly became happy.

She had always considered Dolly a very suitable successor and wanted to recommend her for a job at St. Mungo's in the future, so naturally she wouldn't miss this opportunity to build a good relationship with Dolly.

"Thank you, Dolly, for visiting me again."

Hagrid touched his eyes and was moved to tears.

This made Dolly a little embarrassed. Visiting Hagrid was just an excuse; Dolly was there to see the wounded as soon as possible.

No matter what kind of injury it is, even if she is petrified, Dolly can help, so that Dolly can be completely at ease.

"Oh, right, Dolly."

"You and Luna must be good friends, right?"

Hagrid's sudden question startled Dolly, so she replied, "Why would you ask that?"

"Yes, when I was being petrified by the basilisk, I felt like I also saw someone at the same time."

"But it must have been an illusion. I was in the Forbidden Forest at that time, preparing to appease Aragog."

“You know, she absolutely hates basilisks, she’s hated them for decades…”

Dolly rushed up to Hagrid, grabbed his beard, and shouted, "You saw Luna? When?"

"Uh, I already said, this might be an illusion..."

"I'm asking you when!"

"Okay, okay, it was when I was with Aragog... Dolly, Dolly, where are you?"

Hagrid watched Dolly dash off like the wind, his face full of confusion.

That must be his hallucination, after all, how could Luna possibly go to a place like that?

Luna couldn't possibly get there by herself, could she?

However, Dolly didn't care about all that.

She had previously felt that the illness around Luna was a bit strange, but because Luna recovered and Lockhart was chosen as Dumbledore's target, she wasn't too worried.

But now, Dolly suddenly realized something.

Although the events of this year are locked in a locked room in the original story, it doesn't mean that Peter Pettigrew's goal this time is still just a locked room.

Especially when everyone's attention is focused on the Chamber of Secrets, it's unlikely that the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk alone will be enough to cause chaos at Hogwarts.

This is not what young Voldemort wants. What he wants is to throw the entire Hogwarts into chaos, and even to force Dumbledore to step down.

Since we can't achieve our goal, why insist on focusing on the secret room and the basilisk?

The goal, in any case, is to throw Hogwarts into chaos and cause the deaths of a large number of students.

So, is it possible to try a different approach?

For example, driving all the eight-eyed giant spiders to rush into Hogwarts.

This task would normally be very difficult, but if it were Voldemort, who could control the Basilisk, then it would be much simpler.

Because the basilisk is the natural enemy of the eight-eyed giant spider!

Dolly rushed out of the school hospital, grabbed Dobby, and flew straight to Luna's dorm.

Just as Dolly had predicted, Luna wasn't there at all.

Dolly asked the people around her, but they all said they didn't know. Some even wondered if Luna was in Dolly's dorm room.

Dolly went back to her dorm room to check, and sure enough, Luna wasn't there. This made Dolly's heart sink.

The next second, Dolly and Dobby disappeared without even a chance to answer Hermione and Cho Chang's calls for them to stay.

When Dolly opened her eyes again, she was already in the Forbidden Forest.

Dolly felt a chill in her heart, as if she had gotten the order of events wrong.

We should call Hagrid out so we can determine the direction and find the location of the eight-eyed giant spider.

But the next second, a huge creature the size of a small car fell from the sky and lunged at Dolly, making Dolly realize that she had been overthinking things.

She no longer needed to search for the eight-eyed giant spiders; they had already left their habitat and were charging towards Hogwarts.

"Split into pieces!"

Dolly unleashed a spell without hesitation, striking the eight-eyed giant spider above her head.
