The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Now that Dobby has been accepted, he jumps up and wants to go to work.

Dolly immediately stopped him, saying, "Dobby, the kitchen is my mother's sanctuary."

"So you can't interfere with cooking without permission, but you can help wash the pots and pans later."

Chapter 224 Sirius's Prison Break.

Dobby lowered his head in frustration again, but still agreed with Dolly's words.

He was well aware that this was a Muggle family, and getting Dolly's parents to accept him wouldn't be easy.

Although he can't showcase his culinary skills in the kitchen yet, he can start with housework, which is something he finds very enjoyable.

Penny initially smiled happily, thinking that the matter was finally resolved.

Poor Dobby can finally have his own place in the family.

However, Penny's expression immediately turned strange.

Because she remembered that her daughter had emphasized washing pots and pans.

So she looked at Dolly with an unfriendly expression and said, "Washing dishes, whose job is that?"

Dolly knew, of course, that her mother had found out.

At the Dursleys' house, washing dishes was Harry's job, just like in the original book.

However, after Harry was accepted into the Dursleys' household, the dishwashing became a shared responsibility between Dolly and Harry.

Now Dolly, under the guise of protecting Dobby, casually tossed the job aside and almost fooled herself.

How could Penny not have an opinion about this?

Instead, Vernon laughed and said, "Alright, darling, let's not get hung up on such a small thing."

"Neither Dolly nor Harry are lazy people, and besides, we can get them to do other things for us."

"For example, tidying up the garden."

Penny then gave up the idea of ​​pursuing the matter and shook her head.

In fact, she was very clear that Dolly and Harry could use magic no matter what they did.

Traditional British education is basically no longer useful, but Penny doesn't want to completely abandon her principles of life as a Muggle.

It can only be said that Petunia and Vernon, as the Muggle parents of two young wizards, also had their own disappointments.

For example, they will never be able to chat happily with the children every day about everything that happens at school, just like they used to.

Parents can no longer showcase their talents or capture wonderful moments for their children in parent-child activities held at school.

They simply accepted it all silently and never mentioned it.

Dolly also realized the problem, and then she thought that this trip must go on.

"Harry, that's rare, you actually got up later than me."

Harry rubbed his eyes and came downstairs when breakfast was almost finished.

Dolly joked, and Harry just mumbled that he hadn't slept well, then started preparing dinner.

The Dursleys, of course, had no objection to this.

Penny even kindly asked Harry if he was feeling unwell.

The family atmosphere returned to normal after Harry said he was fine and praised Petunia's cooking.

However, Harry secretly observed the Dursleys while eating.

After finishing his meal, in a secluded corner, Harry secretly slapped himself.

He didn't use much force, because Harry was also afraid of being overheard.

He actually spent the whole day yesterday thinking about whether he counted as a member of the family, and that's why he couldn't sleep.

The cause was the estrangement between Dolly and Harry.

Harry didn't have any objections at first, after all, although the two sides had reconciled, it was a reconciliation that happened in a short period of time, before Dolly's time travel.

Harry was truly bullied from childhood to adulthood.

But as time went on, Harry gradually came to see himself as a member of the family from the bottom of his heart.

At this point, Harry found it hard to accept his sister's estrangement.

Even though they are a family, why does Harry still feel so lonely?

If Dolly heard Harry's voice, she would only say, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"Because we live on campus on a semester-by-semester basis, what can we do?"

In Dolly's understanding, even boarding school students should go home to rest on weekends, and at least have the opportunity to meet with their parents every month, right?

In reality, Hogwarts really does not allow students to leave until the end of the term, and even parents are not allowed to visit.

This certainly ensures the safety of the students to the greatest extent, but is it really good for a group of young children, such as 11-year-old first-grade students?

An independent spirit is definitely a good thing.

But an 11-year-old child is at an age where they are very dependent on their parents. Won't this cause the relationship between parents and children to become distant?

Of course, Hogwarts would never consider such a problem.

After all, mental health issues are not considered problems at Hogwarts. As long as someone is not killed or left with irreversible sequelae, it is not considered bullying at Hogwarts.

As for Harry's little dilemma, nobody cared about it at all.

Harry, of course, wouldn't say it out loud, since he'd reached that awkward, immature stage of life.

Harry certainly won't get an answer to this question in the short term.

So he decided to pretend that nothing had happened for the time being, and since it was summer vacation, he also wanted to have some fun.

But shortly after we finished eating, there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, the mirror used to detect magic began to glow, and the previously quiet atmosphere immediately became tense.

Vernon and Penny were about to take the children to safety, but Dolly stepped forward and said, "It's alright, let me see who it is first."

"Dolly!"

Vernon nervously tried to say something more, but Dolly smiled and pulled out two wands, saying, "Daddy, don't we still have Dobby? Dobby can Apparate."

"Didn't you experience that yesterday too?"

Yesterday, Vernon was looking for a ladder to go to the roof to repair it, but Dobby simply Apparated Vernon up there.

Vernon was startled, but then immediately gave Dobby a thumbs up.

It was around that time that Vernon accepted Dobby, a day earlier than Penny.

Vernon nodded, and Harry grabbed his wand and rushed over.

Seeing this, Dolly nodded and didn't let Harry move away.

Although Harry's skill level is far inferior to Dolly's, he can still manage to cast a spell when he has a spare moment.

Don't underestimate Harry's skill level; that's what wizarding duels are all about.

Anyone hit by an Expel From You spell will basically lose their fighting ability, except for wizards of Dumbledore and Voldemort's caliber.

After everyone was ready, Dolly used the mirror to confirm who was outside the door.

To Dolly's surprise, the person who came to the door was someone she knew in some way.

"It's you?"

A short while later, Rufus Scringer sat on the Dursleys' sofa.

Penny and Vernon were cold to the guest, and didn't even offer him tea.

After all, Ruth had left the Dursleys with the impression of incompetence.

The entire Ministry of Magic was unable to find their daughter, and in the end, the old headmaster had to step in to solve the problem.

So what else could the Ministry of Magic be but incompetent like the British government?

Scrimgeour clearly didn't care about such things; he was here on official business.

"Good morning, Miss Doris and Mr. Harry Potter."

"I don't think you've seen today's Daily Prophet yet, have you?"

Dolly shook her head.

Although she also subscribed to the Daily Prophet, she received it a little later than the wizards.

Because Dolly lived in an area where Muggles lived, a more secure distribution process was used when delivering the newspapers to maintain secrecy.

Seeing Dolly nod, Scrimgeour took the Daily Prophet from his briefcase and spread it out on the table.

Dolly's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the headline.

"The vicious Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban yesterday. All wizards are advised to be vigilant and discerning."

"Please contact the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic immediately upon discovery. A reward of one hundred Galleons will be given to the wizard who provides a valid clue, and a reward of two thousand Galleons will be given to the wizard who captures Sirius Black."

Dolly couldn't help but say, "This reward is very generous."

Dolly wasn't being sarcastic, because for a wizard, this was indeed a generous reward.

Of course, Dolly might not like it.

Harry, on the other side, frowned and looked impatient.

He had many questions to ask, because by now he probably knew who Sirius was.

The problem is that the information he has is contradictory, and he needs someone to provide an explanation.

And Scrimgeour, standing before them, seemed to be the perfect person.

"Alright, Mr. Scrimgeour, since you've come to see us, it means you have your own purpose and official business. I don't think you're the kind of person who would come here to chat about trivial matters, are you?"

"Thank you for your approval, Miss Dursley."
