The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

But Ron wouldn't let him off the hook, saying, "Young Master Malfoy, your skills don't seem to be very good either, not even as good as Harry's when he first picked up a broom."

Ron naturally knew that Harry's performance could absolutely be described as that of a top genius, and could not be explained as that of a novice who was touching a broom for the first time.

But what does it matter?

Seeing Malfoy's exasperated expression was enough.

But Ron's smile immediately vanished.

Professor McGonagall jogged over, her angry voice ringing out even before she arrived: "How dare you, Harry Potter!"

"You'll smash half your body to pieces!"

67 The Third More Cunning Harry Potter

"But Professor—"

Ron wanted to explain to Professor McGonagall, but she interrupted, saying, "Don't say anything, Mr. Weasley."

"Potter, come with me."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall turned and left.

It was only then that Potter began to feel fear, worrying that he would be punished by the school.

Meanwhile, Malfoy and the other Slytherins were laughing exaggeratedly, but dared not make a sound because Professor McGonagall had not gone far.

Malfoy even mouthed, "Get out of Hogwarts, Potter!"

Harry could only mechanically follow McGonagall's direction, glancing at Dolly one last time, trying to find comfort in her.

Dolly shrugged with a smile and said, "Harry, go and accept your punishment. This is the consequence of your impulsiveness."

"Just like I was that day."

Harry felt as if a stone was lodged in his heart, and then, resigned, followed Professor McGonagall's steps like a robot.

Once the two men were out of sight, Malfoy began to laugh unrestrainedly.

He didn't speak, he just looked at Dolly and smiled, as if he wanted to see Dolly's face break down in anger and ugliness, but he failed.

Dolly was still smiling at him, making Malfoy feel like a clown.

But he should have won now, so why is Dolly still acting like this?

Wait, this feeling... why does it feel a little familiar?

Malfoy frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Upon reflection, he seemed to have acted the same way in front of Snape.

He thought he had it all figured out, but in the end he ended up getting a severe beating from Snape.

Could this be another one...?

no, I can not.

The last time was just a coincidence; it was an example that Snape had to set because he had the headmaster behind him.

But now that he has escaped punishment and there is no trace of Snape here, who can stand up for Dolly?

Thinking of this, Malfoy felt even more confident.

He even finally mustered the courage to speak to Dolly, but he gripped his flying broom tightly, ready to run away at any moment.

"Dursley, it seems you don't really like Potter after all. Otherwise, why aren't you sad at all that he's going to be fired?"

Everyone burst into laughter again, but this time Gore and Crabbe didn't laugh much.

On the contrary, they were well prepared, worried that Dolly might suddenly attack at any moment.

They were not convinced by Dolly's defeat; instead, they wanted to find an opportunity for revenge, feeling that their failure that day was accidental.

Hermione's face turned ugly. She knew that Dolly cared a lot about her brother Potter, and now Malfoy dared to mock Dolly's family.

Hermione stepped forward, intending to argue with Malfoy.

But Dolly stopped her and said, "Malfoy, how about we make a bet?"

Malfoy was taken aback. A bet?

Although she was surprised, her expression relaxed considerably.

As long as Dolly doesn't rush over and throw a punch, everything will be fine.

"Okay, let's make a bet. Tell me what you want to bet."

Malfoy tried his best to appear frivolous and confident, betting that if he backed down in front of a Mudblood, he might as well give up being the young master of the Malfoy family.

"Let's bet on whether Harry will get expelled."

"If Harry gets expelled, I'll go back to the Muggle world with him and become Muggles again."

When Dolly uttered those words, everyone in the room was stunned.

Hermione frantically tried to cover Dolly's mouth, but was scared away when Dolly opened her mouth as if to bite.

This only angered Hermione more, and she punched Dolly's arm, saying, "Are you crazy! If Harry is really expelled, are you going to leave too?"

"Then...what should I do?"

Hermione said in a low voice, her voice already trembling slightly.

"I can come to see you on holidays, and our friendship will not change."

As Dolly explained to Hermione, Malfoy's reaction shifted from silence to surprise, and finally to ecstasy.

it is good!

Very good!

Double happiness!

In other words, Malfoy doesn't understand Chinese, otherwise he would definitely have blurted out that word.

If Potter is driven away, Dolly can be driven away too, then no one in the school will be able to stand against him.

He is the real Malfoy, the master of Slytherin Year 1 and the leader of Hogwarts Year 1.

Malfoy couldn't resist the temptation and even began to fantasize about being worshipped by students from all four houses.

"it is good!"

Malfoy immediately agreed, but then became wary again, saying, "But you have to tell me what you want first, if you want me to drop out of school..."

Malfoy sneered and said, "Who is Potter? Why should I switch places with him? Even if you're included, it won't work."

"of course not."

Dolly said smugly, "I think Harry is very good at flying brooms, so if you lose, buy Potter the most advanced flying broom on the market."

"Isn't this reasonable? Or are you saying that you, the eldest son of the Malfoy family, don't even have this much money?"

"Then your family... doesn't seem to have much money."

Malfoy glared at Dolly, wanting to agree, but it was no small sum of money.

Although his family could easily afford it, his allowance was clearly insufficient.

Seeing Malfoy hesitate, Dolly looked at Ron.

Ron was constantly scrutinizing Dolly and Harry, still feeling somewhat displeased that Dolly had bet on her good friend.

But after Dolly gave him a wink, he immediately felt that Dolly was confident of winning.

After a knowing smile appeared on his lips, he said directly, "Malfoy, could it be that your father's involvement as a Death Eater was discovered, and you ended up paying too many fines and your family went bankrupt?"

Malfoy instantly lost his composure and said, "Weasley, I'll tear that stinking mouth of yours off sooner or later!"

"Hey, then just say yes! Miss Dursley's already gambling with her own and her brother's fate!"

Harry and Ron's roommates Seamus and Dean also joined in, mocking Malfoy from both sides.

"Yeah, you're not scared because you just lost to Harry, are you? If you're scared, just admit defeat. Nobody here will laugh at you."

Dean had barely finished speaking when he burst out laughing.

The Gryffindor students joined in, chattering away without any restraint, which immediately enraged the Slytherin students.

In the matter of Gryffindor mocking Slytherin, their logic was actually quite similar to that of the Slytherins.

We are all freshmen, just imitating the behavior of our seniors. There are actually very few truly incorrigible villains.

If there really is such a person, it would be best to hand them over to the Ministry of Magic directly.

Malfoy was placed in the middle of the crowd, facing the Gryffindors' mockery and the expectant gazes of the Slytherin students around him. Malfoy took a deep breath.

He had no choice but to agree.

At worst, I'll just take a year's allowance in advance and consider it a chance to get rid of these siblings.

"Alright, let's bet on whether you can continue attending classes at Hogwarts next Monday."

"If not, you will all be kicked out; if you can, I will send you the flying broom within a week."

"Very well, it's a deal."

Dolly and Malfoy made their bet, and the students from both houses stopped their standoff and returned to their respective groups.

Ron then asked anxiously, "Dolly, is Harry really alright?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "I don't know!"

Ron nearly fainted from anger, and Hermione anxiously pinched Dolly's palm.

Seeing that she was about to become the target of everyone's criticism, Dolly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Harry will definitely not be expelled."

"Just between you and me, a senior student told me that Professor McGonagall is one of the biggest Quidditch fans."

"Besides, she's always been fair and strict. If she really wants to punish Harry severely, how could Malfoy escape unscathed?"

The two pieces of information Dolly revealed made everyone nod in agreement.

Although there is no direct evidence, considering Professor McGonagall's character, if she punishes Harry, she will certainly punish Malfoy, who caused the trouble, as well.
