The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Instantly, countless streams of slime rained down on Dolly, but she used her physical abilities to easily dodge them.

The next second, Dolly even easily flipped up the tree, and then looked into the distance from the top of the tree. Sure enough, swarms of giant eight-eyed spiders were rushing towards Hogwarts with terrified howls, almost stretching as far as the eye could see.

Even if the wizards of Hogwarts were to rally together now, it seems too late to deal with such a large number.

unless……

Dolly looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but could see nothing as far as the eye could see.

But Dolly knew that someone was waiting for her there.

Dolly must go there, see her, and bring her back.

Now that the giant spider is no longer frightened by the basilisk's aura, Hagrid can use his influence to stop it.

Otherwise, once the eight-eyed giant spider rushes into the campus...

Even if they can't break into the castle, they will inevitably cause chaos and turn Hogwarts into a messy battlefield, and their reputation will plummet.

Dolly didn't really care about Dumbledore's reputation, but Dumbledore obviously couldn't leave Hogwarts right now.

So Dolly ordered Dobby, "Go and bring Hagrid here, and then tell the professors at Hogwarts what's going on here."

"Then activate the house-elves of Hogwarts to send all the students who are not in the common room back to the common room."

"Leave the rest of the work here to me."

Chapter 216, Part 5: Facing Voldemort Directly.

Before Dobby could say anything more, Dolly said without hesitation, "Execute the order."

Dobby then had tears in his eyes, and then Apparated and disappeared.

Dolly also loosened up her grip, opened her wallet, and took out the gear she had prepared when she was bored.

First and foremost, of course, is the Fairy Silver Shield.

Then came the full set of alloy metal armor.

This armor was ordered by Vernon for Dolly after she got the Seamless Stretch Charm wallet.

It's just a decorative suit of armor now, with no magical defense capabilities, but it's perfect for Dolly to use.

Although Dolly wanted a set of fairy silver armor, fairies don't communicate very easily, so the matter was put on hold.

Finally, there are the two wands in Dolly's hands.

Dolly also created a wand slot on her wrist specifically for storing her wand. This allowed Dolly to carry her wand and benefit from its bonuses, while still being able to fight with her silver shield.

The reason Dolly doesn't use her wand in battle is because there are just too many giant spiders.

It was like a tidal wave; if Dolly really kept hitting it with her wand, she would probably run out of magic power by then.

She had no idea what enemies lay ahead.

Of course, it's not fair to say that we know absolutely nothing.

However, it's wise to conserve some magic power in order to deal with that guy.

Dolly then activated the skill Wild Spirit.

In an instant, Dolly's strength, agility, and other attributes all reached their maximum values.

The next second, Dolly held her shield horizontally in front of her, then gripped her short wand in one hand and charged out like an arrow.

The moment I took my first step, an eight-eyed spider crashed right into me.

Dolly had no time to dodge. With a flick of her wand, a vine sprouted from the surrounding trees, grabbed the spider's leg, and yanked it hard, causing the spider to tilt to one side.

Dolly then raised her shield to block the eight-eyed spider's belly, immediately clearing a path, and then darted forward several steps.

This time, a giant web shot out by an eight-eyed giant spider appeared ahead.

Without a second thought, Dolly used the Fire-Starting Spell, burning a hole in the giant net, and crawled through it.

Even if a few spider webs stuck to his back, he didn't care at all; with a flick of his wand, flames shot out, instantly eliminating the trouble.

And so, Dolly sprinted forward, and the giant spiders launched instinctive attacks on her. If they missed once, they wouldn't bother with her, because there was something even more terrifying behind them.

Dolly ran faster and faster until she was so fast that the giant spider could hardly find a good opportunity to attack her.

Dolly also slowly narrowed her eyes, holding her shield in front of her to minimize her field of vision.

She was terrified that a basilisk might appear here in a moment, since only a basilisk could control so many eight-eyed giant spiders.

Looking back now, Hagrid's downfall wasn't entirely Dumbledore's doing; it was also what the manipulator behind the scenes wanted—to get rid of Hagrid, this obstacle, first.

Soon, the number of giant spiders decreased, and Dolly finally spotted a figure that did not belong to the Forbidden Forest.

She was tall and pale, as if she might collapse at any moment.

However, she stubbornly held onto her wand, confronting the man before her, a man Dolly knew well: Tom Riddle.

Dolly was right; he and Peter Pettigrew had indeed split up.

The arrival of young Voldemort caused the eight-eyed spiders to riot, while the real Basilisk and Peter Pettigrew were still waiting for Harry and his companions in the sewers.

As for why the young Voldemort could control so many eight-eyed spiders, the answer lies in the giant basilisk remains surrounding him and the woman.

Although it was merely the remains of a basilisk, it still exuded an ominous magical aura, enough to make all medium-sized eight-eyed giant spiders flee in terror.

Furthermore, given that the young Voldemort could also use magic, the outcome was self-evident.

"Let's see who's here."

Tom looked at Dolly in surprise, especially at her attire; even with his extensive knowledge, he showed a hint of bewilderment.

However, when Dolly lowered her shield, revealing her face still covered in blood and slime, the confusion on Tom's face disappeared.

No matter how Dolly dressed, the wand in her hand still revealed her identity.

"No wonder so many people keep mentioning your name in front of me. You are indeed extraordinary, Harry Potter's sister, Dori Desley."

"You're the first guy to put my name behind Harry's, so who are you, and what have you done to the person in front of you?"

Dolly knew Voldemort's secret, but she pretended not to.

After all, the secrets of the Horcruxes haven't been revealed yet, and Dolly doesn't want to show any more for the time being, otherwise, who knows what changes might occur in her relationship with Dumbledore.

Dolly's question hit Tom's sore spot, as he was just looking to introduce himself to the people around him.

Otherwise, if he had spent so much time and effort planning, and in the end his pawns never knew who he was, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?

So Tom beckoned to the woman in front of him, and her wand flew into his hand.

Tom took the wand and then wrote a name in the air with golden light.

"Tom Riddle, that's the name I've been using."

"I didn't lie to you, it's just..."

Tom said all this to the woman in front of him, and then she turned to him and said, "This surname comes from a dirty Muggle, and I have no desire to inherit it."

"You know, in my veins flows the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself, passed down to me through his daughter! How could I still keep that disgusting, common Muggle name?"

"He abandoned me before I was even born, simply because he discovered his wife was a witch!"

"I've come up with a new name for myself, and I know that one day, when I become the greatest magician in the world, wizards everywhere will not dare to utter this name lightly!"

Then, Tom began to manipulate the characters in front of him, and finally, all the characters were rearranged to form a new word.

Voldemort.

After saying that, Voldemort looked at Dolly triumphantly and said, "You must know my name, because I once brought fear to this world."

The young Voldemort, having spent a long time in contact with Peter Pettigrew, naturally knew about the development of the wizarding world and how powerful his original form had once been.

But it was precisely because of this that Dolly's next words instantly broke his defenses.

"Are you the greatest wizard in the world?"

"Then what is Dumbledore?"

"And what is Grindelwald anyway?"

"At least they weren't killed by a one-year-old baby."

Voldemort glared angrily at Dolly, seemingly not understanding why she remained so calm at this moment.

"It seems you still don't understand my greatness."

"I only used a little trick, and I'm about to destroy the entire Hogwarts."

"You think I only prepared these eight-eyed giant spiders?"

"No, the basilisk's venom has seeped into all of Hogwarts' waterways. When Dumbledore returned, all he found were corpses everywhere."

"I think the way he cries will be quite a sight."

Dolly's pupils contracted; she really didn't know that.

Did Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort remain silent for so long just to do this?

"Tell me, aren't you afraid I'll just run away and tell all the classmates?"

Dolly spoke up, and Voldemort arrogantly replied, "You think you can still leave?"

After saying that, Voldemort waved his wand, and a green beam of light as fast as lightning rushed towards Dolly.

Silent Avada Kedavra!

This move sent chills down Dolly's spine, leaving her almost no time to react.

However, in the nick of time, Dolly thought of something and used her fairy silver shield to block the direction from which the green spell was coming, and was prepared to let go.

It's important to understand that a face-to-face spell is more than just a spell; in addition to the spell's effect, the magic it carries can be so powerful that it can cause the object it hits to explode.

So Dolly was prepared for her fairy silver shield to be blown away and for her to be forced to dodge in a sorry state.

But Dolly soon realized that she had overestimated Voldemort's fighting ability.

Although Tom was a young Voldemort, he was ultimately just a soul.

Moreover, the reason he can manifest and use magic is because he absorbs the life force of the woman next to him, so his magical power and spell power depend on the woman's life force status.
