A little witch with no particular talent, when she was in first grade, that is, at the age of 11, killed a giant monster weighing one ton with a 100-pound wooden club.

Hmm... this is very wizarding?

Dolly's mind was getting more and more confused, and just then, the sound of Dian Dian crying could be heard.

"Lady Dursley is here! She's here! Please hurry, she's right here!"

The next second, Hermione and Cho Chang exclaimed in surprise and cried.

Dolly no longer needed to support her body, and she nestled into a warm embrace.

The person holding her cried so hard they almost convulsed after discovering her boneless arms and numerous fine wounds all over her body.

That reaction must be Hermione's, right?

Another voice, while crying, shoved something into Dolly's hand, seemingly hoping it would help her.

It feels warm and cozy in my hand, just like the jade pendant that Qiu Zhang gave me before.

However, Dolly's stamina was already at its maximum, otherwise she would have fainted long ago. Without breaking through the limit, this kind of pendant was no longer of any use to Dolly.

Then came a series of healing spells and other magical incantations, but Dolly had already tried them.

Her wand is best known for its healing spells, but healing spells themselves don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life; at most, they can treat superficial wounds, abrasions, bruises, and the like.

Given Dolly's current injuries, the spell had absolutely no effect.

"Hermione, a blood-replenishing potion!"

"Don't you still have blood-replenishing medicine?"

"Yes, blood-replenishing medicine, I still have blood-replenishing medicine!"

Hermione then realized what was happening and quickly took the medicine out of her backpack, trying to pry Dolly's mouth open and feed it to her.

However, Dolly was already cold due to excessive blood loss, and instinctively kept her mouth tightly closed, making it impossible to feed her.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Hermione was at her wits' end again when Myrtle's voice rang out, saying, "Fool, feed it to me mouth-to-mouth!"

"Isn't that how it's always written in romance novels?"

Hermione's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She quickly drank a mouthful of blood-replenishing medicine and leaned down to kiss him.

It still won't open!

In the end, Cho Chang simply stuck his wand into Dolly's teeth, creating a small opening so Hermione could feed her the healing potion.

The blood-replenishing medicine had an immediate effect, and Dolly looked so bad because of excessive blood loss.

It's important to know that blood-replenishing medicine is a miraculous substance that can counteract snake venom by replenishing blood and coagulating blood, so Dolly's blood volume quickly replenished.

However, Dolly's arm, missing its bone, was still losing a lot of blood, but Miss Door had collected all of it, so Hermione and Cho Chang couldn't see it.

Seeing that Dolly seemed to have recovered a little, but was still not fully awake, the two of them were plunged into panic again.

At this moment, Pointy, who had gone to deliver the message, finally returned, bringing back the professors who had been lured to the underground classroom by Quirrell's lies.

Professor McGonagall stared blankly at everything before her, at the giant lying lifeless in a pool of blood, her mind going blank.

Her worst fears came true, but thankfully it wasn't a person who died, but a giant monster.

Dolly appeared to be alive, her chest rising and falling slightly, but she looked as if she could die at any moment.

What exactly happened? Can someone explain?

How did Dolly get hurt? Was she attacked by a troll?

Who killed the troll? It seems it was killed by its own weapon. Could it be that there were actually two trolls fighting here, and Dolly was just caught in the crossfire?

Professor McGonagall had just caught her breath and was about to say something.

Snape charged forward, roaring, "Get out of the way!"

Quirrell, who was blocking his way, was shoved aside. Caught off guard, Quirrell spun halfway around and then slammed the back of his head hard against a pillar by the door.

Quirrell's face turned pale. He hurriedly tried to cover the back of his head with both hands, but dared not touch it. He stood frozen in place as if he were afraid that something would crawl down from his head.

However, no one cared about him now, and no sound came from the back of his head. Slowly, Qilucai recovered.

Snape crouched down beside Dolly, looking at her pale face from blood loss, as if he were back on the day he stormed into Harry's house.

All he saw was Lily's cold body. Only then did he realize how foolish he had been, how terrible his mistake had been, and how he had lost the person he loved most.

Now, facing the person who inherited Lily's life, Snape felt as if he had become a complete fool again.

He naturally noticed that Dolly wasn't in the banquet hall today, which was practically impossible for Dolly, who loved to eat so much.

He didn't ask any questions. When news of the troll arrived, his first thought was to check if anyone had stolen the magic stone!

Who would have thought that Dolly would be the one who got hurt in the end? If only he had asked about Dolly's situation sooner...

He reached out with trembling fingers and pried open Dolly's eyelids, then checked her heartbeat. The panic in his eyes subsided, replaced by a hint of doubt.

Or is it due to excessive blood loss?

Of course, Dolly's injuries don't stop there, but it seems that Dolly's main problem right now is excessive blood loss.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hermione, her face streaked with tears, holding an empty blood-replenishing potion bottle.

"Did you just give her a blood-boosting medication?"

Hermione nodded quickly, and Snape's ever-present expression finally softened. He said, "Good, the right medicine. Ravenclaw, ten points."

"Take her to Mrs. Pomfrey immediately..."

"Leave this to me."

Dumbledore rushed over; he had just gone to check the Philosopher's Stone as well.

However, what they didn't expect was that the other party had no intention of stealing the magic stone today, and even more unexpectedly, the other party deliberately released a giant monster to cause trouble, and this giant monster was even killed by a student.

Seeing the troll's gruesome death and Dorina's frail body, even Dumbledore felt a strong sense of unreality.

However, now is not the time to discuss these things.

Seeing that no one objected, Dumbledore gently waved his wand, and Dolly's body floated up.

He then said, "Miss Granger and Miss Zhang, please come with me. I'm afraid Mrs. Pomfrey won't be able to handle everything by herself for now."

Hermione and Cho Chang had wanted to follow anyway, and Dumbledore's words struck a chord with them, so they quickly joined in.

Just as Dumbledore was about to leave with Dolly, Dolly's eyelashes trembled, which immediately caught the attention of Myrtle, who was floating on the ceiling watching everything.

She shouted immediately, "She's awake! She's awake!"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Dolly, with Hermione and Cho Chang each taking one of Dolly's hands, hoping to awaken her with their warmth.

At this moment, Dolly spoke as if to herself.

"Soul-stealing curse..."

After struggling to utter the word, Dolly completely lost consciousness.

The entire space was eerily quiet, and even the usually kind-faced Dumbledore had a cold glint in his eyes.

He swept his sharp, knife-like gaze across everyone, and even Snape dared not meet Dumbledore's eyes directly at that moment.

Dumbledore's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Quirrell, who was already crying from fright, and said, "Anyway, I'll take her to the school hospital first, and if necessary, I might have to send her to St. Mungo's."

"Minerva, Snape, I'm leaving this to you."

"No one is allowed to leave Hogwarts until I return, and students are not allowed to leave the common room."

Professor McGonagall's face was also ashen; if she had just been filled with fear and relief, she was now purely furious.

The Soul-Stealing Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses.

It is despicable that someone would use such a vicious spell on a first-year wizard at Hogwarts, even when Voldemort was still alive.

She spoke with a rare hint of menace, saying, "We'll wait for you to come back, Albus. Until then, I'll do everything in my power to protect this school."

Dumbledore nodded and left with Hermione and Cho Chang.

The instant Dumbledore disappeared, Snape grabbed Quirrell by the collar, his anger no longer concealed.

"A Soul-Stealing Curse?"

"A very powerful spell. Which wizard would use such a spell against a child?"

"Who is this person who is entering Hogwarts for the first time this year, and whose background and identity are still a mystery?"

He forcefully slammed Quirrell's body backward, repeatedly hitting the pillar. Quirrell's head swayed wildly, the back of his head making intimate contact with the stone.

Quirrell was already in tears, saying, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, I absolutely did not use any Imperius Curse."

"I swear to Merlin, you can use Veritaserum on me, but I wouldn't even dare use the Imperius Curse, let alone harm a child!"

"Stop shaking it! Stop shaking it! People will die! They really will die!"

“Stop, Severus, he doesn’t seem to be lying.”

Professor McGonagall spoke up, still looking at Quirrell with suspicion, but said that interrogation should not be done in this way, and that such a thing should not be done by them.

"Let's wait until Albus returns. But until then, could you please stay at your own place, Professor Quirrell?"

82 First Update: A Sleepless Night

Quirrell trembled, as if he might faint at any moment.

He nodded, not daring to refuse.

However, this still didn't reassure Snape. He said, "I'll go back with you to Professor Quirrell. It seems you just hit your head. Perhaps my potion can help you."

Quirrell rolled his eyes, as if he had really fainted.

But then, as if commanded by something, she was forcibly awakened and said, "No need, really no need!"

"I'm not injured, and even if I were, a single healing spell would be enough, which I can manage..."

Quirrell lifted his wizard's robes, revealing his wand in his pocket, but Snape was quick and snatched it away first.

Quirrell's eyes widened in terror as he cried out, "Professor Snape, why did you take my wand? Give it back to me, Merlin, please give it back to me!"
