The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Simply put, it's a magical firework that only needs to be moistened to ignite, capable of creating countless sparkling fireworks that can flash and dance continuously for up to half an hour.

There's nothing strange about this thing; Malfoy could easily afford to buy it as a toy and play with it until he was sick of it.

But now the question is, what is he buying these to celebrate?

The answer is self-evident.

"I wish you good health."

Malfoy finally uttered these words with a dark expression, and then hurriedly fled back to the Slytherin table for his meal.

But Dolly thought that if she really died, then the whole of Slytherin would probably set off such fireworks to celebrate Dolly's good death.

Dolly had no choice but to accept it.

"Hey, Dolly, can we have some to celebrate your recovery?"

The red-haired twins' eyes lit up, and they rushed over, wanting a share.

Dolly sighed and said, "I would love to share with you, but I know what you're planning to do."

"So you'd better get Percy's permission first; he's about to kill someone."

George and Fred turned around and, sure enough, Percy's face was contorted with rage. He roared, "George, Fred, don't tell me you're going to set off fireworks in the Great Hall!"

"This is a joyous day!"

George tried to explain, and Fred tried to pull Dolly along, saying, "I think Miss Dolly will understand us too."

"No, I don't understand you. If I fool around with you and lose points, Hermione will kill me."

After saying that, Dolly hugged Hermione and affectionately nuzzled her cheek, looking happy and content.

Hermione blushed deeply and was about to push Dolly away, but hearing the cheers that erupted again, she gave Dolly face and tolerated her dawdling.

After a while of lively chatter, not everyone was actually familiar with Dolly, and most of them had never even spoken to her.

People were just using this opportunity to have some fun and dispel the fear brought by the giant.

Professor McGonagall, who had rushed over after hearing something was wrong, was relieved to see the lively scene. She then told everyone to go to class and came to Dolly's side.

“Miss Granger, Miss Zhang, I have something I'd like to say to Miss Dursley alone. May we leave for a moment?”

When Professor McGonagall spoke, Hermione and Cho Chang had no choice but to comply immediately.

However, as she watched Dolly's departing figure, Hermione felt a surge of anxiety. What could it be that Vice Principal Henry had to tell Dolly in person?

Cho Chang's eyes were full of doubt, and seeing that Hermione was also worried, he said, "Let's find an opportunity to talk to her about what happened before."

Hermione nodded. The fear of death brought by the trolls was something they would have to face together.

“Miss Dursley, you were discharged from the hospital too early today, so there are some things I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

Once they reached a secluded corner, Professor McGonagall spoke her mind.

"To be honest, even now, I still doubt the authenticity of what I saw that day."

"Dolly, you have a talent unlike that of ordinary children, and this magical talent is extremely dangerous. Can you understand that?"

Dolly didn't understand what Professor McGonagall was talking about for a moment.

Professor McGonagall immediately noticed Dolly's confusion and said, "It seems you haven't fully understood yet, so let me tell you our insights."

"This is a conclusion I reached after discussing it with Dumbledore and several professors."

"When you encounter danger or emotionally intense situations, something in your body will be lost, and in its place, you will gain greater strength."

Dolly's heart skipped a beat. Had they figured it out already?

However, Dolly quickly realized that the professors had simply summarized Dolly's condition and attributed it to her magical talent.

They neither considered nor could they possibly think about the existence of a so-called system.

"Your left hand bones and skin, and a few ribs, are not the result of magical damage from trolls; they don't have that much intelligence."

"You lost these things, but in return you gained immense physical and magical strength, allowing you to grow to the point where you can kill giants in a short period of time."

"I must say frankly, this magical talent is terrifying, and it may eventually make you a powerful wizard."

"But I must also warn you to use this magical talent as little as possible, or even not at all."

Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "It has already taken your blood, bones, and skin; next time it could take your heart or even your brain."

"Power may be tempting, but the true meaning of life is to live on with your friends, family, and even the people you will find to love in the future."

"Don't get caught up in the illusion that power brings. I think you understand what I'm saying. After all, you're a smart Ravenclaw."

Dolly nodded, relieved and grateful for the professors' care.

Perhaps Snape wasn't a good teacher, and Dumbledore was perhaps too trusting of his students' resilience.

But there is no doubt that Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout were ordinary people who were conscientious, responsible, and compassionate.

“Very good, Miss Dursley.”

Professor McGonagall smiled with relief and said, "Now you should understand why we don't have a solution of making it public that you killed the troll."

"On the one hand, we don't want to arouse panic among parents and the media, and on the other hand, we don't want your talent to be exposed."

"Otherwise, some dark wizards might covet your talent and try to harm you. This is not an exaggeration."

"at last……"

Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's nothing, that's all."

"Go to class and I hope you stay safe and healthy in the days to come."

Dolly looked at Professor McGonagall's riddle-like expression and felt helpless. "Just tell me what's on your mind!"

Professor McGonagall's sudden stop left Dolly feeling uneasy, as if they had discovered something else, or perhaps had some other suspicion.

Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall didn't say another word. She simply said goodbye to Dolly and went to class.

When Dolly returned to Cho Chang and Hermione's side, they were clearly more curious than Dolly.

"What did she say?"

Cho Chang asked impatiently, and Dolly shrugged and said, "Probably because they kept the fact that I killed the troll a secret from both inside and outside the school, not wanting to cause panic among the students and parents."

"That's all?" Hermione asked incredulously.

Dolly asked, puzzled, "Is something wrong?"

"Of course something's wrong!"

Hermione said somewhat agitatedly, "They won't even explain where this troll came from, or how they'll compensate you, since you were almost killed!"

Hermione and Cho Chang were both Muggle-born wizards, so it didn't seem out of place for Hermione to say such things, and Cho Chang nodded in agreement.

Imagine in the Muggle world, a child is nearly killed by an intruder in the school's washroom.

The school not only tried to smooth things over, but also failed to offer any compensation to the parties involved. How angry must the parents of those involved be?

"Now I suddenly understand why they didn't disclose this matter internally or externally; it's probably to shirk responsibility."

Clearly, Hermione was not satisfied with Hogwarts' handling of the situation.

She didn't spend much time at Hogwarts, and her sense of belonging to Hogwarts was far less than her friendship with Dolly.

Even Cho Chang, who was already in the second year, did not side with Dolly this time, saying, "No one else was punished, only you were injured. This is not fair."

Dolly shrugged indifferently. "It's nothing."

This year, one giant monster has already shocked you all. If the basilisk monster appears next year, it might make you drop out of school immediately.

This is still at the safest place, Hogwarts. Outside of Hogwarts, the safety level of the wizarding world is almost the same as that of the Dark Forest.

Who knows how many deadly abilities and ideas the wizards and magical creatures that appear before you possess?

"Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall have both spoken to me, and they both expressed the same sentiment: they don't want this matter to escalate."

“I was indeed injured, and I was very resentful, but after all, we don’t even pay tuition at Hogwarts, so we don’t have much right to criticize the school.”

"As for Quirrell, Dumbledore's reply to me was that there was no evidence. If they wanted to examine Quirrell, they could only examine me first."

Qiu Zhang stared wide-eyed in disbelief and asked, "Why?"

“Only if they are certain that I am under the Imperius Curse can they have a reason to intensify their investigation of everyone. Otherwise, they cannot take action against a professor based solely on my verbal accusations.”

Without a second thought, Hermione said, "We can expose them like before and force them to give us an investigation result!"

Professor Flitwick didn't hear this, otherwise he probably would have fainted again.

For a student to force the school to take action is an unprecedented event in the history of Hogwarts, yet the three little witches think it's an easy task.

In fact, it is indeed very easy.

If Dolly agrees, the Daily Prophet will publish all of this on its front page tomorrow.

Even Fudge, the Minister of Magic, would personally come to Hogwarts to force Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts for investigation.

This had nothing to do with Dolly's own abilities; it was simply that Dumbledore and Hogwarts were far too conspicuous in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic practically controls everything in the British wizarding world, yet Hogwarts has upheld its principle of independent operation for thousands of years, and Dumbledore is Fudge's greatest rival.

The Ministry of Magic has always wanted to change Hogwarts' curriculum so that it can produce more talent "that meets the Ministry's needs," since the best students will always end up working for the Ministry anyway.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but what kind of talent does the Ministry of Magic need most?

The answer is obviously those who are willing to obey Fudge and serve him; their own abilities and stance are not very important.

In the original story, Hogwarts also entered an era controlled by the Ministry of Magic, which was also the era when Umbridge was the headmaster.

Dolly had to admit that Umbridge was no better than Snape as headmaster; at least Snape was a wizard, while Umbridge was just a power-hungry, twisted politician.

If this incident leads to Dumbledore stepping down and Umbridge taking his place, Dolly might as well just transfer to a school in the Muggle world.

At least I won't have to suffer the abuse from that perverted Umbridge.

So Dolly said, "Let's not. I still want to study here. If it really leads to Hogwarts being closed down or undergoing restructuring, where will we learn magic then?"

There are magic schools outside of Britain, but they are not necessarily safe, and there may be dangers that one must face.

Moreover, Dolly would be unfamiliar with the place and the people there, and her secrets might cause her even more trouble.

At least at Hogwarts, the attitude towards her secrets was not to pry, which Dolly found quite commendable.

Most importantly, can Dolly bring Hermione and Cho Chang along?
