The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

But no matter how bad their relationship was, they were still colleagues after all, and Quirrell was also a professor at Hogwarts.

How could Snape throw it directly to the ground like waste?

Unfortunately, Dolly was one step faster. She reached out to stop Professor Flitwick, looked at him with sincere eyes, and said, "Professor, please believe me, okay?"

Dolly and Professor Flitwick didn't communicate much, and their interactions basically stopped at the classroom.

It’s not that Dolly doesn’t like Professor Flitwick, but because Professor Flitwick is in a position that is neither good nor bad.

Considering her integrity and high status, Vice-Principal Professor McGonagall is obviously a better person to turn to.

In addition, since Professor McGonagall is a woman, it is easier for Dolly and Professor McGonagall to communicate on some detailed topics.

As for things in the shadows, it would obviously be more convenient to communicate with Snape.

After all, Professor Flitwick knew nothing about Dumbledore's great plan, and had little contact with dark wizards. Dolly couldn't drag him into it.

But this does not affect Dolly's respect for Professor Flitwick, because Professor Flitwick is not only very capable, but also the only professor who can get along well with students in class.

Even Malfoy treated Professor Flitwick with special respect, second only to his respect for Snape, which shows how popular Professor Flitwick was.

Of course, Professor Flitwick's favorite student was Hermione, not Dolly.

However, considering Hermione and the fact that Dolly was also a student of Ravenclaw, Flitwick finally chose to believe Dolly.

"I understand, Miss Dursley. I hope you won't let me down."

Professor Flitwick took a step back, and the remaining professors, including Headmaster Dumbledore, looked at Dolly with various expressions.

They obviously didn't expect that Dolly would be the one leading the scene before them.

As for Dumbledore, he looked expressionless on the surface, but in fact he was sighing in his heart about all this.

He knew that Dolly did all this to seek belated justice for herself on Halloween.

This was not how Dumbledore had expected things to turn out.

It was obvious that Dolly could have used a more calm approach and led things to a result that was more in line with his expectations without alerting the enemy.

Of course, the price is to sacrifice Dolly's interests a little, or simply to make Dolly suffer a little injustice.

If it were still the beginning of the first year, Dumbledore would have done so without hesitation, which is exactly what he did.

But now, Dumbledore can no longer do that.

At least now, Dumbledore had to weigh the opinions of the little witch named Dolly Dursley on the scales and increase the weight that the name represented.

This is not only because of Dolly's strength, but also because of Dolly's persistence, and because she does have the ability to change the situation.

In Hogwarts, where almost everyone believed in him and even took his words as the gospel, it had been a long time since anyone had made Dumbledore feel difficult.

The tricky part here is that when Dolly did all this, she did not do anything obviously wrong, whether from a moral, legal, or even causal cycle of revenge perspective.

If Dumbledore wants to continue to suppress Dolly, he needs to do more than just have a conversation unknown to outsiders, but something more serious or even fundamental.

For example, his good reputation and the trust that professors have in him.

And even if he successfully suppressed Dolly's counterattack again, could he suppress Dolly's third, fourth, or even more counterattacks?

What if Dolly still insists on resisting? Will he push Dolly to the other side of the camp, or use the power of magic to make the thorny little witch become obedient?

This obviously went beyond Dumbledore's bottom line.

Dumbledore preferred to call his influence on people's hearts guidance, not control, and certainly not distortion with the power of magic.

That's something Voldemort would do.

"I thank all the professors for their time, and I will try not to waste your time."

"I believe you all remember my accusation against Professor Quirrell. I believed he had cast the Imperius Curse on me."

"But unfortunately not many people believed me, and I couldn't provide enough evidence."

"But today, I think I can produce evidence."

Dolly waved to Yaya who was standing outside the crowd. Yaya immediately followed in and looked at Dolly with curiosity.

"Just now, a dark wizard tried to attack Harry and the others, but I defeated him."

"This piece of flesh and blood is the spoils of war I obtained."

Dolly pointed at the still-squirming piece of flesh. Except for Dumbledore and Snape, the rest of the professors showed expressions of varying degrees of disgust.

For those who work in ivory towers, this hideous scene is indeed a bit horrifying.

Ordinary flesh and blood would be fine, but this piece of flesh and blood was cursed by a unicorn. All the changes on it showed how evil the owner of this piece of flesh and blood was.

Dolly also showed a disgusted expression.

Although Dolly had blown the troll's head with her own hands, even the troll's flesh and blood did not make Dolly feel as disgusted as the piece of flesh and blood in front of her.

"So who is this dark wizard?"

Dolly patted Yaya's head and said, "Please forgive my level of magic for not being able to come up with a clear enough solution, but I can prove it in another way."

Dolly pulled off Quirrell's turban and handed it to Fang, letting him smell it.

Then he pointed at the piece of meat, raised three fingers to Fang, and said, "Fang, if that's Quirrell's, scream three times."

"Otherwise, don't make a sound. Got it?"

Fang is not as smart as Crookshanks, but under Hagrid's training, he became a qualified hound and can understand simple commands.

So when Dolly asked him to smell Quirrell's turban and then raised three fingers to point at the piece of flesh, Yaya knew what he should do.

It sniffed Quirrell's turban deeply a few times, then whimpered a few times, almost crying because of the smell of garlic.

But then it cautiously approached the ominous piece of flesh and blood, trying to discern the smell in it.

Soon, Yaya gave the result.

The curse brought by the unicorn was magical and did not interfere with the physical smell of this piece of flesh and blood, so Yaya called out three times in succession and gave an affirmative answer.

The scarf in Dolly's hand and this cursed piece of flesh and blood came from the same human wizard.

Although Yaya didn't understand why the wizard was trembling even though he was right there, Dolly asked him to find the owner of the turban, and he found it.

But this did not affect the professors present, who showed expressions of horror. It was obvious that they still trusted Dolly's way of proof.

This is also due to Yaya's performance in the past, which left a good impression on the professors.

Professor Flitwick was startled. He looked in Quirrell's direction and asked, "Professor Quirrell, do you have anything else to say? You can still prove your innocence now."

Although Flitwick spoke in support of Quirrell, he had secretly tightened his grip on his wand.

Don't forget, he is the head of Ravenclaw house.

Although Dolly did not meet Flitwick's definition of the best student, he still could not deny that Dolly was an excellent Ravenclaw.

Such a good student was almost killed by Quirrell half a year ago. How could Flitwick not be angry?

It was only for Dumbledore's sake that Flitwick did not take direct action.

The remaining professors also stared at Quirrell. At this moment, it was clear how important it was to have good interpersonal relationships.

If Quirrell was popular, there might be professors who would defend Quirrell, and then Dolly's method of using Yaya to prove Quirrell's identity would seem quite powerless.

But no one spoke now, and Dumbledore, the only one who was qualified to change everything, also chose to remain silent.

As for Quirrell himself, he was almost frightened to death. This fake Quirrell was even more timid than the real Quirrell.

Or rather, he couldn't handle such a big scene, after all, the White Lord was staring at him.

"It seems that our Professor Quirrell has tacitly agreed to all this, so I can also express my opinion."

Snape spoke up at this time and said, "I just found Polyjuice Potion in his office, and this guy obviously drank Polyjuice Potion."

"I don't know who he is, but I know he's not Quirrell."

Snape's words at this time sentenced the fake Quirrell to death.

Now even Professor McGonagall began to tremble with anger. She pointed her wand at the fake Quirrell and asked, "Who are you and how did you get into Hogwarts?"

"If you still don't tell me, I'll have to ask Professor Snape to use the Veritaserum!"

"Or perhaps, you want to go to Azkaban and keep the Soul Eater company?"

The fake Quirrell was still trembling, but he did not answer the professors or make any excuses.

By now, everyone could tell something was amiss, and Dumbledore spoke for the first time, "It seems this fake Professor Quirrell has been cursed, making it difficult for him to think or express himself."

"Severus, please find a safe place to keep him. We will interrogate him again after the effects of his Polyjuice Potion wear off."

Snape nodded, grabbed Quirrell's collar, and used a freezing spell on him, making him unable to resist.

But he didn't leave immediately because he knew Dolly still had something to say.

Sure enough, the next second Dolly spoke up and asked with a smile, "So, may I ask the principal now, can the accusation I made on Halloween be established?"

The professors then turned their gaze from Quirrell back to Dolly, their expressions complicated.

Professor McGonagall opened her mouth to say something, even though she knew all along that Dolly's request was perfectly reasonable.

But what Dolly was going to do now was undoubtedly touching Dumbledore's authority.

Whether Dumbledore admitted that he was wrong or continued to defend his behavior, Dumbledore's superior image would always be pulled down half a step by Dolly.

This is almost unimaginable in Hogwarts today.

After all, the person in front of everyone is Dumbledore, the White Lord who has been the headmaster for decades, defeated two Dark Lords, and is recognized as the strongest in the wizarding world!

At this time, couldn't Dolly just take a step back?

Dolly couldn't hear the professors' thoughts, otherwise she would definitely answer, and there would be no problem in letting her take a step back.

Isn't it just actively protecting Dumbledore's authority? Dolly was already used to this kind of thing in her previous life, so it doesn't matter if she does it again now.

But this time Quirrell threatened Dolly's life. If even the right to life had to be compromised for the sake of Dumbledore's authority, then Dolly would become Dumbledore's absolute loyalist.

But she isn't yet!

If Dumbledore really wanted Dolly to become his loyal fan, he should at least offer her enough benefits to attract her.

It's absolutely impossible for Dolly to become Dumbledore's die-hard fan just because she was "guided" by him twice. Otherwise, Dolly would be wasting her twenty years of life experience in her previous life.

Dumbledore looked at Dolly seriously again, but he was actually quite calm.

Although Dolly broke the rules, exceeded his expectations, and might even disrupt his plans.

But who is Dumbledore?

The current plan to destroy Voldemort is not even as dangerous as the original plan to fight against Grindelwald.

Dumbledore came out victorious even in such a difficult time, let alone facing a little Dolly?

It would be truly strange if Dumbledore had emotional fluctuations because of something like this.

His only regret was that he had misjudged Dolly's growth rate and her determination to fight against the oppression on her shoulders.

Maybe it's time to change the way I communicate with Dolly.

"I have to admit, Miss Dursley, that your persistence and hard work have finally paid off. There is indeed something wrong with Quirrell."

"It would be my fault to let such a person be a professor at Hogwarts."

"But unfortunately, what you are accusing is that Quirrell used the Imperius Curse on you. The evidence you provided and your accusation do not form a chain."

Dumbledore's words made the professors look at him in surprise. Did Dumbledore decide to fight Dolly to the end?

This is not Dumbledore's style... and facing such a situation, wouldn't Dolly be hurt by the excessive pressure?

Professor Flitwick was considering smoothing things over, but Dumbledore, a hint of a smile on his face, said, "However, in view of your efforts and wisdom, I think you can work with Professor Snape to investigate Quirrell's case."

"Once you've found the answer, or if you feel you can't find the answer on your own, and you've handed Quirrell over to the Ministry of Magic, then we can discuss the original accusation slowly, okay?"

As soon as Dumbledore said this, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

In the professors' view, Dumbledore had already implicitly admitted his mistake and even given Dolly the opportunity to correct it herself.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Dolly to become famous, and Ravenclaw will also gain a lot of points because of it. Dolly can even become a die-hard supporter of Dumbledore through this incident.

After all, not every adult who recognizes his mistakes will admit them obediently.

Snape's expression was even a little moved, because he realized that Dumbledore was intending to let Dolly know the truth behind it.

If Dolly had joined the fight against Voldemort... No, forget it.
