Although Dumbledore didn't say it outright, it was clear that he was worried that Dolly would once again act on her own and cause some trouble.

Clearly, Dumbledore didn't want to cause too much trouble with the Ministry of Magic at this time, and he was well aware of how nervous and uneasy Minister Fudge and his colleagues were.

That's true if you think about it carefully.

Although the Ministry of Magic fabricated a plausible truth with lies, it still managed to let two vicious Death Eaters escape.

Especially since the other party escaped from Azkaban, which was said to be imprisoned forever, it was from this moment that Azkaban became a sieve.

The Death Eaters returned to Azkaban as if they were going home, especially since even the jailers guarding the Dementors eventually surrendered to Voldemort.

This is a major event for Fudge and his team that could affect their re-election.

Having realized this, Dolly temporarily abandoned her plan to run away and decided to use the holiday to further solidify her knowledge.

Putting everything else aside, now that Sirius has escaped from prison, the Ministry of Magic, in its anxiety, will inevitably send out Dementors.

So I definitely need to master Lily's Guardian Charm.

"Call on God for protection."

Dolly picked up the wand and shook it, but the tip of the wand remained unresponsive.

This situation left Dolly scratching her head.

Although the Patronus Charm is very difficult to obtain, only a few wizards can summon a Patronus in its full form using the Patronus Charm.

For example, Harry and his parents, as well as Snape's Patronus, are all stags, while Dumbledore's Patronus is a phoenix.

Being able to summon the full Exorcist's Guardian almost means that you can easily fight against Dementors.

Even if one cannot summon the complete Patronus, for most wizards, simply making the tip of their wand glow is enough to banish a Dementor.

Most wizards can learn this at this stage.

Those who can't learn it are often those who can't find any joy deep inside, or wizards with a dark nature, like Voldemort who wouldn't use Patronus.

So Dolly was also very troubled, wondering what exactly was wrong with her.

Is it because she herself doesn't realize that she's not happy?

Or perhaps, as a time traveler, something went wrong with her?

Just as Dolly was about to ask Miss Door, she suddenly noticed something in the roadside bushes in the distance.

Dolly frowned. She was very familiar with her surroundings and even knew exactly what kind of wild animals lived there.

But that enormous figure was definitely not within the range of wild animals that Dolly was familiar with.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a large black dog?

As if by coincidence, the big black dog also looked at Dolly, and the two faced off dozens of meters apart.

Dolly felt a chill run down her spine; she recognized the person instantly.

Sirius Black.

Sirius Black is an Animagus, and his Animagus is a big black dog.

The only people who knew about this were the original four raiders, and now only Peter Pettigrew knows.

Peter Pettigrew was pulled into the prison break by Sirius Black, or rather, he is currently being imprisoned by Sirius Black.

So, apart from Dolly, the time traveler, no one in the entire world knew that Sirius Black was a big black dog.

This is why he can appear before Dolly without restraint, as if the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors don't exist.

227

Chapter 227 Dolly, the Capital Tycoon.

Dolly was thinking.

Perhaps she could meet with the big black dog first, and then try to solve his problem so that Dolly wouldn't be grounded.

Getting the Ministry of Magic to admit its mistake won't be easy, but if Dumbledore intervenes, perhaps it can be turned into a misunderstanding.

In short, it was the Ministry of Magic that was responsible, and Sirius Black was indeed in a very bad situation, so they ended up giving him some Galleons as compensation.

This kind of thing is actually quite common in the Muggle world.

Legal professionals sometimes make mistakes, but as long as the incident doesn't jeopardize their status or honor, there's still hope for a resolution.

Of course, this is on the premise that Sirius needs to cooperate.

Also, what are the specific methods to contact Sirius Black?

Should we continue to leak the secret that Dolly knows about future events?

As Dolly was pondering this, she saw a strangely dressed Muggle walk past the big black dog, pick up a stone, and throw it at the dog.

The big black dog whimpered and ran away.

Dolly's thoughts were now put to rest.

Because it was obvious that the Aurors had driven Sirius away.

Although the Auror was unaware that he had just confronted the large black dog, it was clear that the Auror had learned to scare away any unfamiliar wild animals around him.

Sirius Black dared not reveal his secret, and the only chance to get close to Sirius Black thus disappeared.

However, Dolly wasn't too disappointed.

Based on Dolly's understanding and impression of Sirius from her previous life, this person was most likely not someone she could communicate with rationally.

Furthermore, with Dolly occupying Harry's place as a relative and being Snape's student, it's uncertain whether she and Sirius will get along well.

Forget about Sirius for now.

Next, Dolly had to figure out what she could do all summer.

The first and foremost step is undoubtedly to contact the Patronus Charm and continue to enhance one's magical abilities.

After resolving the issues of the secret room and the diary, Dolly had accumulated exactly 40 attribute points.

I'm still 10 points short of increasing my magic power. Since I can't use potions during summer vacation, I'll basically have to wait until school starts to reach 50 points.

Or it could be used to learn some magic, such as Apparition, but practicing Apparition alone is still somewhat dangerous.

Or perhaps you could create some magical items and try transitioning from wands to magical artifact makers?

Two months is too long, and having to stay at home makes Dolly feel somewhat lost.

Fortunately, Vernon interrupted Dolly's thoughts and asked, "Dolly, are you up yet?"

"If you get up, come to my study; I have something to tell you."

"coming."

After washing up, Dolly went to Vernon's study, where Vernon was fiddling with a large pile of documents.

After Dolly arrived, Vernon beamed and said, "Guess what this is?"

"Could it be our family's income statement?"

Dolly picked it up casually and immediately couldn't take her eyes off it.

He then looked at Vernon in surprise, then laughed and said, "Mr. Dursley?"

Vernon laughed, but then waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm just the owner of a small sales company with a few dozen people. I'm hardly a real boss."

"And all of this is prepared for you."

Dolly gaped in surprise, while Vernon said seriously, "You've said more than once that you want to live here after you graduate."

“Penny and I have discussed it. Although we don’t want to get involved in a complicated life, it’s only natural to do something for you in these few years.”

"So I decided to acquire the company I used to work for and run it for you for the next few years, so you can take over it directly after you graduate."

"So what are your plans for our company in the next few years? I'm willing to follow your suggestions."

"After you take over, your mother and I will retire."

Vernon looked longingly at her and said, "Actually, when I was pursuing Penny, I promised to take her around the world."

"I originally thought this dream was impossible to achieve, but now..."

Vernon blinked, then laughed happily.

But there was a hint of tears in her eyes, a testament to her anticipation for a better future.

Vernon is not even forty years old yet.

When Dolly graduated, the Dursleys were just over forty years old, although retiring at that age was a bit early.

Compared to Dolly, who couldn't wait to start slacking off, she was undoubtedly diligent and responsible.

Dolly naturally couldn't voice any objection to Vernon's plan.

In reality, if Vernon really did nothing, Dolly wouldn't blame him.

After all, her parents also have their own desired lives, and Dolly would feel guilty if she directed them to become laborers just because of her own goals.

However, Vernon's choice still gave Dolly a pleasant surprise.

Dolly's investment in speculative stocks had already reached a bottleneck, but now this situation presents a perfect opportunity for her to showcase her abilities.

Dolly then pointed out the general direction.

Because Vernon's company was originally Groning Company, which was responsible for the production and sales of drilling rigs, the company actually had quite a few employees if the production department was included.

However, Vernon mainly bought out the sales department, which is now in a cooperative relationship with Groening.

This is not hard to understand; Vernon knew that Dolly certainly wouldn't have any interest in the production and sale of drilling rigs.

But this time Vernon was wrong.

Dolly wasn't particularly interested in these mechanical devices, but the great Eastern power was quite intrigued.

Dolly pondered her past life's history, even asking Vernon to call and consult some people. In the end, she concluded that she had not misremembered a single point in time.

That is, the technology embargo against the major Eastern power began in 1995.

On March 31, 1994, the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) officially dissolved. Shortly thereafter, in 1995, the United States established an export priority policy based on the types and technological content of exported products, dividing all countries in the world into eight categories.

China, along with Singapore and India, is in the sixth category, the “Outsider,” below Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania in the “Comrade” category, and above Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and Libya in the “Watchlist” category.
