The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly used to be taken care of by Hagrid, but now she has Dobby.

Strictly speaking, Dolly, as an underage wizard, should not be able to run a wizard's hut on her own.

This involves Ministry of Magic laws, which are essentially similar to age restrictions for tracking silk.

In other words, only adult wizards can register a small house as their residence, where they can set up various magical defenses, place various items, and use various spells.

Just like Ron's humble abode, even though Ron's house looked very poor, it was still full of magical items.

This question seems natural, and there's nothing to worry about.

But let’s not forget the wizards from Muggle families like Hermione’s. These young wizards must continue to live the life of a Muggle until they reach adulthood.

Only adults can transform their parents' house into a magic house; otherwise, it is illegal.

This is already considered a relatively obscure law, unlike the widely known law of the past.

Dolly knew this because the Ministry of Magic had written her a letter.

Considering Dolly's special safety situation, she is allowed to place only some magical items inside the house.

Of course, it's less that the Ministry of Magic granted Dolly permission, and more that the Ministry was trying to fix the current situation.

After all, Dumbledore didn't ask the Ministry of Magic for permission when he arranged all of this.

The Ministry of Magic was too ashamed to ask Dumbledore for further explanation, nor did it dare to escalate the matter, otherwise it would lose all face.

The Daily Prophet was already portraying the French Ministry of Magic as incompetent at that time, and now the British Ministry of Magic is also exposing its incompetence. Wouldn't that make things even more awkward for them?

Thus, the Dursleys' current situation was deemed a special permission to respect the status quo; Dolly could keep Dobby in her own home, while Puffy was even less of a concern.

These little things, like fluffy catkins, are not harmful at all, except for causing surprise among Muggles.

Of course, that refers to other people's fluffy cattails.

When it came to Dolly, her fluffy body was noticeably more robust, and her tongue was like a whip, striking Dolly with pain.

Of course, the fluffy creatures are not aggressive.

But their intelligence has increased.

The fluffy creatures are simply docile by nature, which is why they became the pets of wizards.

Just like capybaras are born with the social graces of the animal kingdom, and their stable emotions, whether they are alive or dead, have won the love of humans.

However, this does not mean that they have enough intelligence to voluntarily change into this form.

However, Dolly and the other fluffy creatures seemed to be able to understand Dolly's commands in a simple way.

For example, before going to bed last night, Dolly told these fluffy creatures, "You have to keep a good watch and protect my safety tonight."

It was just a joke Dolly made before bed, but when Dolly woke up in the morning, the fluffy creatures had split into three groups.

One group stood on the window, another on the table by the door, and the last group stood at the head of Dolly's bed.

When Dolly woke up, the fluffy creatures were already asleep, all slumped over, their usual cute appearance gone.

At first, Dolly just found it funny.

She immediately realized something was amiss and, after asking Dobby, Dobby confirmed Dolly's guess.

After Dolly fell asleep, the group of fluffy creatures huddled together and seemed to discuss for a long time. In the end, after a heated debate, they got into a physical fight and split into three groups to stand guard.

However, the purongrong are animals that sleep for a long time every day, and they couldn't hold on for more than three hours.

After Dolly woke up, the fluffy creatures fell into a deep sleep, and Dolly figured they probably wouldn't wake up until nightfall.

Dolly felt a touch of emotion.

Although Puffy can't protect Dolly at all, at most she can get rid of the bugs and mosquitoes around Dolly.

But their feelings are like a kitten standing in front of you, desperately howling to drive away a big dog that's attacking you.

Of course, this example can also be reversed.

How could Dolly not be moved?

So Dolly told Dobby to take good care of the fluffy creatures and give them extra food before getting up.

Dobby immediately obeyed, but then looked at Dolly with a pitiful expression and said, "Master, the mistress won't let me into the kitchen..."

Dolly burst out laughing after hearing what Dobby had to say.

It turns out that Dobby wasn't very popular with Penny.

Dolly had already introduced Dobby to everyone before dinner yesterday.

Tell your parents that Dobby is the butler of the magical world, and that he is willing to follow Dolly and live at home with her during holidays, helping with all the housework.

At first, Penny welcomed Dobby, and Dolly thought the matter was over.

But now it turns out that the two are still at odds.

Dolly quickly familiarized herself with the place before heading to the kitchen.

Sure enough, a rich aroma filled the air even before entering the room, with Dolly's favorite bacon and sausages. Penny was clearly preparing a hearty full English breakfast.

This full meal can keep you full all day long.

Dolly and her cousin Harry in the original story could only have such figures because of their diets.

Of course, with Dolly, she didn't need to worry about any of these things.

"Good morning darling."

Penny saw Dolly and gave her a bright smile.

"I'm still busy, so I won't hug you."

"If you're hungry, you can have some nuts first. They're on the table. I'll need another half hour here."

Dobby watched longingly, wanting to go in and help, but Dolly stopped him.

Instead, she led him to the dining table and said, "Would you like to eat together, Dobi?"

Dobby trembled with fear and knelt down, saying, "Master, Dobby is incompetent. Dobby has failed to take good care of the young master's life and even has to eat with the young master."

"Dobby is really... so stupid, Dobby..."

Dobby couldn't continue speaking and started kowtowing repeatedly.

The loud noise clearly startled Penny.

Vernon rushed out in his pajamas, saw Dobby kowtowing, and exchanged bewildered glances with his wife.

"Hey, stop, stop, little monster... uh, I mean, little one, doesn't it hurt? You're going to break the floor!"

While Vernon showed concern for Dobby, his words still betrayed a hint of disgust.

This is not surprising.

They accepted Harry and their daughter went to Hogwarts to become a witch, but that doesn't mean they accepted magic.

Especially now that they know their daughter is in danger, they naturally can't bring themselves to like Dobby, a magical creature that's like a little elf.

He didn't show any disgust only because he was his daughter's housekeeper.

"Mom and Dad, you don't know, this is a house-elf."

"They have chosen a master, and if the master thinks they are useless, they can only die."

Dolly looked regretful as she spoke of the cruel fate of house-elves.

Dolly wasn't lying.

If a house-elves are expelled from a household, they are practically doomed.

It's unlikely that it could be picked up by someone else and then served by another family, because betrayal is not allowed in the mind of a house elf.

Even if he had already been expelled from a family.

Of course, all of this is not about Dobby; Dobby is too special.

He had already received several months' salary and happily deposited it into Gringotts, which almost caused a stir.

Fortunately, he had Dolly's letter of introduction. Dolly still had some influence in Gringotts, which allowed Dobby to open an account of his own, a sub-account under Dolly's name.

In other words, theoretically, Dobby could take the money Dobby had stored at any time, and Gringotts at least did not recognize Dobby's special status.

However, Dolly doesn't do that kind of thing anymore, otherwise Dobby might have a breakdown.

“Mom and Dad, house-elves are magical creations. They were created to serve wizards, so… there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Penny and Vernon stared at each other in shock, their eyes seeming to hold an even greater loathing for magic.

As modern people living in developed countries where everyone enjoys equality, they cannot comprehend the concept of house-elves as slave creatures.

Of course, the British system of equality for all has its flaws, but compared to creatures like house-elves, it is certainly many years ahead.

So Vernon said to Dolly seriously, "Is there really no way to change this situation?"

"Dad, actually Dobby was kicked out of one of my classmates' houses because he was an independent house-elf who actually wanted a wage."

“He was starving to death, but I took him in and paid him a salary.”

“But you must understand, the special thing about house-elves is that magic is written into their heads. I can’t change that magic, and if Dobby is banished again…”

Dolly casually recounted Dobby's story.

Penny and Vernon, who had initially loathed Dobby, suddenly felt a deep respect for him.

What they saw was no longer a small monster.

Instead, he was the first of the little monsters to awaken, a pitiful creature who almost died trying to get his wages from the slave owner.

Their daughter was just someone who tried to change everything but was powerless to do so. Now that such a lovely daughter and such a pitiful little thing are together, how can they still show disgust?

It's time to let the house-elves, who are slaves in the magical world, enjoy the enlightenment and equality of civilized society!

So Vernon winked at Penny and said, "Honey, so Dobby gets paid, which means we've essentially hired a part-time worker, haven't we?"

Penny realized what was happening and said, "Yes, that's right, that's exactly it. So Dolly already paid her, so Dolly really should work."

Dobby then straightened up and looked at the Vernons with genuine surprise.

Dolly wasn't lying. Even though Dobby was an independent house-elf, serving wizards was still something ingrained in his mind that couldn't be changed.

Especially since Dobby is receiving Dolly's salary, if he still does nothing, then the magic might cause him to suffer more than a typical house-elves.
