The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly paused for a moment, then said, "Could you explain it again?"

Dolly's expression appeared serious on the surface, but she was actually very calm.

Luna glanced at Dolly with some concern before saying, "If you don't want to discuss this topic..."

"No, I want to hear your explanation."

Dolly then spoke, and Luna nodded trustingly, saying, "Just like I said, you may have mastered a method to exchange life force for magical power."

“I don’t know how you did it, or what price you will have to pay for it, but I think… if you continue like this, you might have health problems.”

Dolly remained silent.

But deep down, Dolly was already crying to Miss Door.

"Sister Men, look, look! Even Miss Luna said I'll get hurt if I sacrifice myself. Is it true? I'm so scared!"

The wisdom of ordinary people.

Miss Men answered coldly, still with an otherworldly tone.

Dolly seized the opportunity to ask, "What exactly does mortal wisdom mean?"

"Is what Luna said true or false? Will my body really not experience any abnormalities?"

"Sister Door, please tell me!"

Dolly had expected Miss Door to proudly say "no comment."

However, to Dolly's surprise, Miss Door gave a serious explanation this time.

I adhere to the principle of equivalent exchange.

All that is sacrificed to me becomes magic; all that is amplified by you becomes magic.

[Host, there's no need to play games of suspicion. We are one.]

Dolly nodded to herself; she really appreciated Miss Door's presence.

Because she knew that without Miss Door, Dolly wouldn't even be able to get into Hogwarts.

Although Dolly could have had a wonderful life even without coming to Hogwarts, not learning magic would ultimately make her life in vain.

So even if Miss Door has some ulterior motive, Dolly will probably still cooperate with her.

Unless Miss Men's target is really Dolly's body and soul, which Dolly doesn't think is worth Miss Men going to such lengths for.

However, on the surface, Dolly still asked curiously, "I'm just curious, Sister Men, why can sacrificing my flesh and blood bring me magic?"

"Don't I even know that I'm actually quite valuable?"

[No comment. 】

Okay, that familiar feeling is coming back.

This is the proud and aloof door sister that Dolly knows!

Dolly smiled contentedly and then stopped talking to Miss Door.

She didn't expect to get any useful information from Miss Men; she did this more to give Miss Men a heads-up.

Why do you do this?

The answer is actually not complicated.

In order to strengthen herself, Dolly has been on the path of sacrifice.

Even now, Dolly is still secretly brewing potions, such as sacrificing bones to consume Bone Elixir.

Although there's no immediate concern about long-term consequences, Dolly is simply too busy to handle everything on her own.

Because brewing potions is a very complicated task, not to mention Dolly had other things to do.

For example, Dolly has been busy all semester, searching for her diary, brewing potions, and attending classes.

These tasks cannot be delegated to others.

Although Spots had a good relationship with Dolly, she was ultimately a house-elf of Hogwarts and was essentially Dumbledore's spy.

Hermione and Cho Chang, Dolly trusted them.

Dolly fears that if she told them about her constant self-sacrifice, they would go completely insane.

Dolly didn't want to be watched by Hermione and Cho Chang every day, so they firmly forbade her from continuing to sacrifice herself for power.

So far, Dolly has already fought against the fragments of Voldemort's soul from his youth.

It's fair to say that the opponents Dolly faced before were not in the same league at all.

Dolly could break through the opponent's magic with her fists or even a shield before, so she didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.

But it's a different story when facing Voldemort.

The opponent is playing Avada Kedavra; a single touch and it's game over, no matter how strong Dolly's physical attributes are.

Besides Avada Kedavra, Voldemort was also adept at using other spells, and they were extremely powerful.

Even without chanting incantations, simply using magic is like launching a bomb at will, capable of blasting people away.

Therefore, when Dolly faced Voldemort, she couldn't use her melee abilities at all, and her ranged attacks were also somewhat inadequate.

The reason why the young Voldemort was able to be sealed into the ground was ultimately because he needed to absorb Luna's life force.

Dolly only needs to break this link, and Voldemort will be nothing more than a fragment of his soul.

In other words, Dolly would most likely be no match for Voldemort in his prime.

So all Lily could do was continue to work hard to improve herself, trying to reach a point where she could punch Voldemort's nose in half as soon as possible.

The rituals of sacrifice, of course, need to continue.

At that moment, Luna appeared.

Although Luna's enticement by the diary caused Dolly a lot of trouble.

But it was precisely for this reason that Luna became the biggest insider of Dolly's secrets.

Besides Miss Door's presence, Dolly could even tell her about the sacrifice.

As for the underlying principle, Dolly herself doesn't know, so let Luna guess.

Luna might try to stop Dolly, but Dolly won't accept Luna's attempts to stop her.

So what will Luna do next?

Dolly was very curious.

Dolly touched her cheek, laughed awkwardly, and said, "You found out? Well, there's nothing I can do about it."

Dolly sighed and said, "Actually, you probably don't know this, but I didn't have any magical talent to begin with."

"The first magical upheaval in my life didn't even occur until I received my acceptance letter."

When did you say that?

A hint of sadness flashed in Luna's eyes, and she said, "Maybe, it was eight years old."

"Then Luna, you must be a little genius."

Dolly smiled and touched Luna's face; it was smooth and delicate, with the perfect texture of a toddler.

After all, Luna is just a first-grader, and she's still two years away from being a teenager.

“I wasn’t originally qualified to come to Hogwarts, but because of that magical upheaval, I vaguely gained a kind of power.”

"I can offer something from my body as a sacrifice in exchange for the magical power I desire."

Upon hearing Dolly's words, Luna suddenly grabbed Dolly's hand, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

What she said before was just speculation, but now that she heard Dolly say all this seriously, her first reaction was that Dolly had also been possessed by a demonic sorcerer like Voldemort.

Do the professors know about your situation?

Luna asked somewhat anxiously, "Perhaps we should tell Dumbledore about this?"

Dolly sat down next to Luna and reassured her, "Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore and the other professors already know about this."

"perhaps?"

Luna tilted her head.

"The gist of it is that I don't know the principle behind it, and the professors can't explain it either. But after the examination, there's nothing wrong with my body."

Luna still didn't believe it, saying, "That person drained my life force, I almost died, and my body shape changed drastically."

At this point, Luna's expression suddenly wavered, as if she had thought of something.

Dolly wanted to ask her what she was thinking, but she held back in the end.

Although Dolly will probably never forget that kiss from Luna.

But Dolly didn't want Luna, who was only in first grade, to feel harassed.

Dolly then added, "Actually, I almost died at first too."

Then, Dolly told Luna everything that had happened since she came into this world.

Luna listened with wide eyes, and when she heard that Dolly had spent many days in a Muggle's ICU before regaining consciousness, she immediately asked anxiously, "What is an ICU?"

It took Dolly a while to get Luna to understand that ICU probably meant the highest-class ward in St. Mungo's.

After Dolly explained everything, Luna finally understood.

"In other words, you can now control what you choose to sacrifice."

"You sacrifice the food you eat every day, and occasionally a little blood, to increase your power?"

Dolly nodded, her eyes filled with sadness.

If she could truly sacrifice the food she ate, then Dolly's current situation wouldn't be so difficult.

At that time, Dolly will be able to eat to her heart's content without only satisfying her taste buds, without putting any burden on her stomach.

Unlike now, although Dolly can eat a lot, she is still essentially putting more strain on her digestive system.

"It's been over a year since the start of the school year, and there haven't been any problems for a long time."

"So the professors also think that this is probably a kind of talent, not a danger."
