The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Newt took the suitcase, positioned the opening towards Dolly, and then slowly opened it.

The next second, a blue lightning-like figure darted out, pounced on Dolly, and pinned her down on the sofa.

Dolly felt suffocated because her face was completely hidden by the dog's belly, as if she were being hugged tightly by a facehugger.

She was about to pat Snow to get him down when Snow rolled over and landed on his own, then pounced on her again, this time frantically licking Dolly's face.

It kept whimpering, its tail turned into a propeller, and its whole body twisted like a caterpillar.

With this behavior, who would believe it's a wolf?

Chapter 229 Returning the item to its rightful owner.

Dolly patted Snow's body several times before Snow finally calmed down.

Next, Dolly introduced Snow to the Dursleys.

"Come here, this is Harry, and these are my parents."

"From now on, we must treat them as our own masters and listen to them."

Snow walked forward with great ceremony, smelled everyone's scent, then accepted everyone's touch, and finally returned to Dolly's feet.

"Oh, and Dobby too."

Dolly snapped her fingers, and Dobby came out to have Snow stamp her seal.

Dobby was startled at first, but then he heard Dolly say, "This confirms that you are a member of this family."

Then he happily met Snow and took on all the responsibility of feeding him.

Dolly didn't answer directly, but looked at Newt instead.

Newt watched with amusement as Dolly's family interacted with Snow, thoroughly enjoying the harmonious scene between the magical creatures and wizards.

Moreover, Newt easily discerned the difference between Dolly and ordinary wizards.

That is, Dolly didn't treat Snow as some kind of magical creature at all, but rather as family.

Just like Dobby's current identity, although he is ostensibly a house-elf hired by Dory, Dory also treats him as family.

This is actually a very rare relationship in the magical world, and between wizards and magical creatures.

No wonder Snow missed Dolly so much.

Next, Dolly briefly checked in with Newt to check on Snow's condition.

Over the past six months, Snow's blue fur has become increasingly thick and pure, making him completely unrecognizable as a gray wolf.

Newt also gave Snow a formal species name: the Crystal Wolf.

As can be easily seen from his name, Snow is a dire wolf with ice-attribute abilities.

Furthermore, Newt tells Dolly that the name he gave Snow has been approved by the Ministry of Magic, and Snow thus becomes the first and last Ice Wolf to be discovered in the wizarding world.

It is an extremely rare protected animal.

Now no one dared to mess with Snow anymore, and even those who knew about him had to keep their distance.

Otherwise, if Snow is harmed, the Ministry of Magic's Magical Creatures Protection Department might come knocking on your door to arrest you tomorrow.

Dolly was delighted and gave Snow a hug.

Its fluffy, long blue fur has a subtle coolness to it, making it a very comfortable experience on a hot summer day.

However, Dolly soon felt a little sad.

Snow was the last of its kind when it was born, so wouldn't it be destined to live out its days alone?

Although Dolly found it difficult to truly raise Snow as a pet dog, she still hoped that it could reproduce so that the Dursleys could have more little Snows in the future.

As if reading Dolly's thoughts, Newt said, "Fortunately, Snow should only have had its body altered by magic, but it shouldn't affect its ability to reproduce."

"As for whether its descendants will have the same power as it does now, we'll only know by trying."

Dolly nodded happily, not really caring about it.

Even if Snow's offspring have no magic, Dolly will keep them as pets.

And if they possessed magic, Dolly wouldn't treat them as an army of magical creatures, nor would she change her attitude towards them.

Newt watched all this and his affection for Dolly deepened.

Wizards' fondness for magical creatures largely stems from their appreciation of their value.

Even Newt can't deny this, because one of the reasons he raises magical creatures, including those on the verge of extinction, is to collect materials from them.

It's important to understand that the expenses required for a wizard like Newt, who keeps a large number of rare and magical creatures, are not small.

Newt's financial situation is much better now, and the Fantastic Beasts Protection series of books provides him with a considerable income every year.

When Newt was young, the reason he was able to continue this career was ultimately due to the profits from raising magical creatures.

But with Dolly, she could love Snow unconditionally, which Newt greatly admired and could put his mind at ease with.

"Actually, I have some good news too."

Dolly looked at Newt in surprise and said, "I'd like to hear more."

"In short, I submitted and finalized Snow's feeding plan and obtained its feeding license."

“And I submitted this certificate in your name.”

After saying that, Newt handed a roll of parchment to Dolly.

Dolly quickly took it and opened it, and was surprised to find that it contained the Ministry of Magic's permission to keep Snow, the rare magical creature, the Crystal Wolf.

However, the price is that he must write to the Ministry of Magic at least twice a year to report on Snow's condition, and accept at least one visit from the Ministry of Magic each year to check on Snow's condition.

These are just minor obstacles.

Most importantly, Dolly can raise Snow again?

The Dursleys were thrilled to hear Dolly's explanation.

Petunia, who usually forbids Dolly and Harry from keeping pets, was unusually happy.

Now that she has more to do housework, Penny is actually much more relaxed.

This was actually a bit hard for Penny to accept; it was purely because she wasn't used to it.

But now that Snow is around, Penny has something new to do, and she can even spend time with Snow.

This advantage will become even more apparent once Dolly and Harry start school.

Seeing how the Dursleys welcomed Snow, Newt was completely relieved.

"I will teach you its recipe and all the precautions in a little while. So, I'm handing it back to you from today onwards, Dolly."

Dolly stood up and sincerely thanked Newt.

The smiling old man probably never expected to get anything in return from Dolly, but that didn't stop Dolly from being grateful to him.

Newt waved his hand and said something that surprised Dolly: "Actually, I came to see you today not only to return Snow, but also because I need your help with something else."

Dolly looked at Newt in surprise. What could he possibly need her help with?

"Can we talk alone for a while now?"

"It concerns some secrets of your magic. Of course, you can choose to tell your family later, but it's more appropriate for the two of us to talk about it for now."

Dolly did not refuse.

The Dursleys and Harry stood up and moved away from the two of them.

They also trusted Dolly's choice; since Dolly was willing to talk to Newt, there must be something very important on her mind.

"Thank you for your patience in listening to me. What I'm about to say is very important."

"Do you remember the blue gem we acquired in France?"

Dolly nodded; of course, she couldn't forget that gem.

It was that gem that caused all the things that happened to the Yeti.

Although the matter was resolved smoothly, Dolly and Fleur even became good friends.

But Dolly remained very curious about the stone.

Where does it come from, what are its effects, and why is it there?

Then, Dolly watched in surprise as Newt opened a small package, inside which was the gem that shimmered with blue light.

"This is……"

"After Dumbledore studied it, he gave it to me to put into practice, and then we came to a conclusion."

Newt looked at Dolly intently and said, "This is a crystallized life magic."

Dolly asked, puzzled, "What is life magic? I've never heard of it."

“It’s natural that you haven’t heard of it, Dolly, because life magic isn’t a specific type of magic, but rather a collective term for a series of magic.”

"The healing spells you are good at are the simplest application of life magic. Potions and a series of spells can also be classified as life magic."

Newt continued slowly, "Even the Unforgivable Curse's Avada Kedavra is, in a sense, life magic."

"However, it is used in reverse, destroying people's souls."

Dolly took a deep breath, her confusion amplified by the answer, and asked, "What's the point of this classification method?"

"With the current understanding of wizards, it is indeed difficult to know its significance. In fact, this classification method is almost meaningless, which is why it has been forgotten."

Newt then changed the subject, saying, "But its existence proves the significance of this classification method."

"Magic doesn't appear out of thin air, nor is it even something that wizards research. It has always existed there, but it has gradually faded away with history."

"We wizards have only grasped the basics and used them, while the real magic and power may be hidden on the other side of the world that we cannot know."

"Or perhaps, the other side of the door."

Dolly's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Door? What door?"

“Good question, Dolly.”
