Did he not consider that once he was exposed, he might face a punishment from which he could never escape?
However, the next second, Dolly suddenly turned her head away.
She heard a dog howl, a sound she had never heard before.
Several Aurors suddenly appeared around Sirius, casting offensive spells at him simultaneously.
However, in his black dog form, Sirius was incredibly agile. Apart from being hit by the aftershocks of the attack, he relied on his nimble body to quickly dodge and move around, and within a few seconds he had hidden in a room.
At the same time, a wizard dressed in black commanded Dementors to descend from the sky and surround the house.
Christmas is already cold after a snowfall, and the arrival of the Dementors made the surrounding air completely freeze. Even in the car dozens of meters away, Dolly began to feel the biting cold.
She frowned in displeasure, then quickly pulled Luna, who was shivering beside her, into her arms, intending to cast a spell to warm her.
A boy rushed in like lightning, bursting through the door; it was Harry.
"Sister, that black dog...that black dog!"
Harry was so excited he was incoherent; he was a smart man after all.
He didn't know Sirius could turn into a black dog before, but today, considering the previous attack by the black dog and the actions of the Aurors, he understood that Sirius was the black dog.
Judging from his excited expression as he gripped the magic wand, he was clearly going to seek revenge.
However, instead of rushing out, he went to find his sister Dolly, which made Dolly very happy.
This shows that her training and development over the years has been quite successful.
So Dolly said, "Harry, calm down."
"The Aurors are working outside. Don't go and join the fun, or they might arrest you too."
"What's more, there are Dementors. You can use Guardian Angel, and your friends need your protection."
"But sister..."
Dolly said in an unquestionable tone, "Listen to me, always put revenge after protecting those around you."
"If your parents were here with you right now, what would they do?"
"Abandoning you and your companions to seek revenge?"
Harry gradually calmed down, and if he still didn't, Dolly would have to resort to force to calm him down.
He nodded and turned to leave.
Although he didn't utter a word, his steps were firm, quick, and rhythmic, clearly indicating that he had accepted Dolly's opinion.
All the young wizards watched the siege with curiosity, and the clicking of cameras could be heard, clearly indicating that little Colin was filming again.
This made Dolly realize that this was actually a good opportunity.
Regardless of whether the Ministry of Magic actually caught Sirius Black, she will now begin the work of exonerating him.
"Everyone, go back to your places. Don't look around or think too much."
"The Ministry of Magic is arresting wanted criminals. Didn't you hear me? Close your eyes."
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face boarded the train. He held a magic wand that conjured a whip-like structure, which he repeatedly lashed at the train door, causing some students to scream in fright.
Instead of calming down, he grinned and said, "I originally wanted to send the Dementors to shut you up, but the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic wouldn't let me. A bunch of foolish youngsters, do they really think they can solve everything with their strength?"
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen an Auror before?"
The middle-aged man passed by Dolly's door and even yelled at her.
From the smug look in his eyes, Dolly felt that this person seemed to be doing it on purpose.
"He was a jailer in Azkaban, the one who was in charge of communicating with Dementors. I've seen him in the newspapers."
Hermione then spoke in a low voice: "Last time the Dementors attacked the train, he was the one who was punished by the Ministry of Magic."
Dolly nodded, now she understood.
No wonder this person was so emotional.
Putting aside the fact that he is a dangerous individual who associates with Dementors, he probably finds Dementors more endearing than young wizards now.
Is the Ministry of Magic out of options or doing this on purpose by letting someone like that onto the train?
Dolly thought the latter was quite likely.
Don't assume that the Ministry of Magic, as the ruling institution of the magical world, will necessarily act as a patriarch, guiding and protecting the children of Hogwarts.
In fact, many wizards, especially Minister of Magic Fudge and bureaucrats of this type, have always viewed Hogwarts as a dangerous institution that is too independent.
Hogwarts has always refused to be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, and the person leading this is none other than Dumbledore, the White Lord, who is on par with Grindelwald.
As for these students, they were nothing more than bargaining chips for Dumbledore to win people's hearts. For this reason, Dumbledore even raised the school's operating expenses himself and refused to accept funding from the Ministry of Magic.
Given all this, it's not surprising that many people think Hogwarts is no longer a school.
These things have nothing to do with Dolly herself. As for the current conflict, she can just consider it as being scolded by a former homeroom teacher, which is not unbearable.
But the ensuing argument made it impossible for her to stay seated any longer.
"What are you holding, some damn dangerous magical artifact?"
"Sir, this is a camera, just for taking pictures. I just took pictures of the Aurors capturing criminals."
"Who gave you permission to take these photos? Hand over the camera and obey my orders!"
"No, sir, you can't take my camera! You can't!"
Colin started crying.
Although Dolly and Colin didn't interact much, the little guy was a fan of Dolly, but of course, his biggest fan was Harry, since it was Harry who killed the Basilisk.
Therefore, Colin often pestered Harry and Dolly to take pictures of the two of them.
I toned it down a bit this year, but I still managed to take at least a few photos of Dolly.
However, he didn't keep any for himself, but gave all the negatives to Dolly directly, so Dolly didn't refuse him.
Seeing him being bullied by a prison guard, especially with the negatives in his hands about to be taken away, Dolly naturally couldn't stand idly by.
Because these negatives might be very useful in the future.
So Dolly stepped forward, walked out of the room, and quickly went to the other person.
Amidst the other's puzzled gaze, a swift flying kick landed squarely on his waist, sending him flying.
He was caught off guard while struggling with Colin for the camera, and he let go of the camera.
"Miss Dursley!"
Colin looked at Dolly with surprise, and Dolly reached out her hand, asking for the camera.
Colin handed the camera to Dolly almost without hesitation and said, “Miss Dursley, you handle this.”
Colin is no longer the clueless first-grader he used to be, and he knows he may have made some mistakes. At this point, it's obviously the most appropriate thing for him to rely on Dolly.
"Bastard!"
The gloomy man got up and was about to point his wand at Dolly when a shout of "Exterminate me!" rang out.
His wand flew from his hand and landed in Harry's hand behind him.
Harry and the three little ones also arrived. They had obviously heard Colin's voice, and Harry, who was closer to Colin, naturally wouldn't let it go unnoticed.
“You, you dare attack an Auror! The Ministry of Magic will arrest you all and send you to Azkaban, then you'll be in my hands…”
“I’m sorry, sir, but it seems you are not an Auror.”
Hermione followed and said seriously, "An Auror isn't a title you can just casually claim; you need to go through rigorous testing and training before you can hold that position."
“You are an Azkaban staff member and have no right to use violence against students on the train. We were just acting in self-defense!”
Dolly looked at Hermione with some surprise, not expecting Hermione to know about the law.
Hermione gave Dolly a smug look, then whispered in Dolly's ear, "I read some of it when I was bored. I can't recite the whole thing, but I know the gist of it."
"I...I am acting on the orders of the Aurors and am currently carrying out official duties, and you are obstructing those duties!"
A male voice came from inside; it was Percy Weasley, a seventh-grader who was now serving as president of the boys' council.
"I regret to inform you, sir, that we believe your methods of carrying out official duties are incorrect, and therefore we refuse to cooperate with you."
If prefects are only responsible for managing their own house's students and events, then the student council president is involved in the management of Hogwarts.
For example, on the train, the student council president is responsible for issuing orders to the prefects and is the person with authority and responsibility second only to the professors.
Percy and Dolly already had a good relationship, and now that this man had caused a commotion, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
“Please bring an Auror here so he can determine the current responsibility; otherwise, we cannot stand by and watch you inflict violence on a minor wizard.”
"Otherwise, given your current situation, we will not accept your management."
The gloomy man's face turned red with anger, but seeing that the young wizards surrounding him all looked rather intimidating, he angrily reached out to Harry and said, "Give me your wand."
Harry glanced at Dolly, and seeing her nod, he tossed the man's wand back.
Then, as he awkwardly squeezed his way out of the crowd, everyone burst into laughter, which made his face turn even more bruised and swollen.
Dolly and her group exchanged glances, intending to exchange a few polite words and then defuse the situation.
Suddenly the temperature around them dropped rapidly again, and some of the young wizards screamed. Everyone realized that the familiar scene was happening again.
Sure enough, the Dementors appeared around the train.
It turned out that the gloomy man had used some kind of magic spell, and a dark shadow floated out of the train. The encirclement that had surrounded Sirius Black was reduced in size, and the dozen or so Dementors came to the vicinity of the train, even attempting to sneak inside.
Percy's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected this wizard to be so shameless as to summon a Dementor.
He wasn't going to call upon any divine intervention; he nervously glanced around, knowing that this time no professor was taking the train home for vacation.
In reality, taking the train is a mode of transportation exclusively for students; although it is safe, it is simply too slow.
Adult wizards who can Apparate, or use Floo Powder or a flying broom, or even ride the Knight Bus, will not ride the Hogwarts Express.
Lupin's situation was a special case. Although he had no money and no flying broom, he could still Apparate.
He mainly wanted to see Harry.
Now that the professor was gone, Percy was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, and in the end, he could only turn his attention to Dolly.
Dolly looked at Harry, who seemed to be acting strangely again.
