The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

She still has so many things to do!

"So, if you never catch Sirius and Peter Pettigrew, our family will be protected forever and do nothing?"

Dolly narrowed her eyes, making no attempt to hide her anger, and said, "Capturing Sirius is your job, but you're showing how dutiful you are by punishing us."

That would be tantamount to directly calling Scrimgeour incompetent.

Scrimgeour's expression also changed, and he glared at Dolly with displeasure.

He knew, of course, that the Ministry of Magic had largely failed in its duties and should be held responsible for these issues.

From Scrimgeour's perspective, the Dursleys, as wizards and their families in the magical world, also have an obligation to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.

You can't betray the Ministry of Magic just because it made a small mistake; that would be treason.

So Scrimgeour stopped looking at Dolly and turned to Dolly's parents, saying, "That's how it is now. You've been targeted by a vicious criminal."

"We need to protect your personal safety and therefore need to impose some restrictions on your movements."

“Once we catch the culprit, you will be free again, and I think you can understand the rationale behind doing so.”

"After all, you don't want to go through the disaster of summer vacation again, do you?"

Dolly felt a pang of distress, because she knew without a doubt that her parents would agree.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Vernon and Penny's terrified little eyes, and her parents' pleading looks.

Dolly felt a little suffocated, but didn't say anything more.

Although Dolly herself really wanted to leave, she knew that Sirius wouldn't harm the Dursleys.

But her parents didn't know, and Dolly couldn't explain it either.

If Dolly insists on going out again, the result will likely be that the Dursleys experience the same emotions they had during last year's holiday.

Dolly remembered how her parents cried tears of joy when she first saw them.

It's best to prevent them from experiencing such extreme emotions again, as it's bad for their health.

So Dolly could only calm down and think about whether there was another way out.

How can we help the Ministry of Magic capture Sirius Black as soon as possible?

That definitely won't work.

Sirius Black was framed; he ran away with Peter Pettigrew, undoubtedly to find Harry and prove his innocence.

This was Sirius's only wish to live, and no matter how much Dolly disliked Sirius, she wouldn't be so twisted as to prevent him from doing it.

As for the trouble Sirius Black brought her due to her prison break, that was essentially caused by the incompetence and deception of the Ministry of Magic.

If the Ministry of Magic hadn't been so shameless, Dolly's freedom wouldn't have become a sacrifice.

Therefore, Dolly cannot help the Ministry of Magic. The only thing she can do is help Harry realize the truth as soon as possible and then resolve Sirius's situation.

Leaving aside the possibility of exonerating Sirius Black, in the original story, Sirius Black never got to enjoy this opportunity until his death.

At the very least, Dolly needs to reach an agreement with the Ministry of Magic to stop causing trouble regarding Sirius Black.

Of course, this is obviously very difficult.

After all, Dolly is now, to put it nicely, a little star at school.

To be honest, the staff at the Ministry of Magic probably only have a very vague impression of the name Dolly.

For Dolly to think she could interfere with the Ministry of Magic's operations is nothing short of delusional.

So, should we let Dumbledore take action?

This is the quickest way.

But Dumbledore wouldn't act without a legitimate reason, and on the other hand, how would Dolly explain Sirius Black's story?

Although she could use prophecy as an excuse, Dolly always felt that Dumbledore wasn't completely ignorant of Sirius's story.

If prophecy were used again, Dumbledore probably wouldn't accept it so easily.

Oh, what a headache.

This matter originally had little to do with Dolly, so why was she also grounded?

Her trip to France!

She lived happily with Hermione and Cho Chang, inseparable!

And Hibiscus... See you next year now.

"His target is me, isn't it?"

At that moment, Harry spoke up.

Seeing his sister's distress and the Dursleys' fear, Harry exclaimed, "Since he's after me, why don't I just go somewhere else?"

"For example, your Ministry of Magic must have a place where I can be safely protected. I can stay in that kind of place."

Harry became more and more confident as he spoke, and even looked at his sister with a cheerful smile, only to see the displeasure on her face.

"You mean we should just leave you behind and enjoy the holiday alone?"

Dolly's words left Harry speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Harry finally said, "I just don't want your plans to fall through, sister. You're all really looking forward to this summer..."

"But nothing is more important than your life, Harry."

"Of course, this won't necessarily kill you. But as your family, we won't abandon you, understand?"

Dolly's words made Harry's smile disappear.

Harry was somewhat frustrated that his plan to stand up for himself had been thwarted.

But seeing the Dursleys' and his sister's sincere gazes, Harry's eyes welled up with tears, and he nodded.

Dolly tilted her head; although she had spoken beautifully, it was also from the bottom of her heart.

But she knew very well that ultimately Harry had to stay with the Dursleys this summer to replenish his energy of family and love.

Otherwise, the curse on Harry might no longer be effective.

In other words, Dumbledore would be the first to object to the idea of ​​abandoning Harry to the Dursleys and living happily ever after.

So, it seems I have no choice but to stay at home?

Dolly looked troubled and then turned to Scrimgeour, saying, "Because of your mistake, my family has to risk being grounded. Shouldn't you give us some compensation?"

Scrimgeour also subconsciously tilted his head slightly; Dolly's words were truly beyond his comprehension this time.

“I’m sorry, Miss Dursley, but the Ministry of Magic is protecting you right now. Several Aurors are working for you 24/7 without pay. Do you think we should compensate you under these circumstances?”

"of course."

Dolly calmly replied, "No matter how hard you work, it's not our fault. You're making amends for your mistakes."

"If that's the case, why should we share the responsibility?"

Scrimgeour almost laughed in anger.

It wasn't entirely because of the logic in Dolly's words, but more because of Dolly's attitude.

How could a little girl try to bargain with him and the Ministry of Magic like this? Does she think she's the second Dumbledore?

“If Miss Dursley really thinks we’re doing something unnecessary, we can leave, and you’re free to do as you please.”

"I just hope that a month from now, we won't see any news of the Dursleys' or Mr. Potter's deaths in the Daily Prophet."

This time, Dolly didn't look at her parents' expressions. Instead, she said calmly, "Okay, I couldn't be happier."

"On the contrary, I think they might not be in the mood to retaliate against us, otherwise they would have already escaped from prison, right?"

"Maybe they've already fled abroad, enjoying a free life, and never intend to come back."

Dolly continued, "Let's get out of here, Mr. Scrimgeour. Don't just talk the talk."

Now it was Scrimgeour's turn to fall silent.

Ultimately, the Ministry of Magic and its objectives are to capture Sirius Black and cover up previous mistakes and errors in its work.

Therefore, they are the ones who actively seek something; protecting Dolly is just an excuse.

Dolly knew they wouldn't dare say it aloud.

That's why Dolly was able to demand compensation from them so confidently, and even though the Ministry of Magic had enough reasons to refute Dolly on the surface, they didn't dare to really break ties with her.

And so the two stared at each other mercilessly for a minute.

As time passed, the Dursleys calmed down and realized that something seemed amiss.

They had always placed great trust in Dolly's intelligence, and now it seemed their daughter had probably discovered something they hadn't noticed.

The Ministry of Magic wasn't doing this just to protect them; rather, it seemed like they were forced to do it.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Scrimgeour couldn't help but speak up, suppressing his anger; he didn't want to escalate the matter further.

Because he knew very well that Dolly had the ability to summon Dumbledore.

Let's satisfy this little witch's curiosity.

"I need a time converter."

Dolly's eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke.

226

Chapter 226 The Big Black Dog.

"There's absolutely no way I'll give it to you!"

Scrimgeour jumped up immediately.

He naturally knew and understood the time converter, and he also understood how great the harm could be if such a thing was used incorrectly.

He even looked at Dolly with suspicion, wondering why she wanted the Time-Turner.

Is it so that they can escape the protection of the Ministry of Magic after obtaining it?
