The two returned to the bedroom and continued their daily lives.
However, during this period, Dolly also regained her free time.
It’s not about making any breakthroughs in the application of technological products, but about preparing birthday gifts for Hermione and Qiu Zhang.
That is, two wands tailor-made for them so that they can use magic more freely.
This kind of thing still needs to be handled in the Room of Requirement, because theoretically it is not allowed for young wizards to have a second wand.
After all, the original purpose of the trace thread is to prevent the young wizard from casting spells, and the young wizard does not have full behavioral capabilities yet.
Harry's title of Slytherin heir, just as Dolly had expected, did not cause much stir.
On the one hand, it was impossible for Harry's good friends to dislike Harry because of this. On the other hand, the students of Slytherin College kept silent when they saw Harry.
Because they no longer knew how to face Harry.
You can't laugh at Harry for not having pure blood, right?
As for Slytherin's traitors, speaking out would only embolden Gryffindor.
As time approaches Christmas, 1992 is almost over.
Compared with the first half of the year, Dolly's six months have been relaxing and enjoyable.
Although we were nervous for two months at the beginning because of looking for the diary, it now seems that the crisis in the secret room has been basically resolved.
Dolly has already started planning what to do during Christmas, but unfortunately the Christmas holiday is too short and Dolly is destined not to be able to do much.
At most... well, go to Qiu Zhang for some fun.
Duoli couldn't help but think of the time when Xia Tian secretly kissed Qiu Zhang. She wondered if she would have another chance this time... Ahem, it was a bit too embarrassing. She had to adjust her mentality!
She was just going to visit Qiu Zhang as his good friend... well, although Dolly really wanted to act that way.
But when she thought that 1993 was almost here, Dolly couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Because according to Qiu Zhang's original personality, she should have started dating boys, right?
This puts Dolly in an awkward position.
Should I try to get closer to Qiu Zhang?
Whenever Dolly thought of this problem, she felt a little anxious.
Although she had generally gotten along well with girls over the past two years, she had even been accused of being too intimate with them more than once.
But Dolly was still very clear about how difficult it would be to go further.
Especially since the other party is Qiu Zhang, whether in terms of family education or concepts, he is closer to the Eastern powers than the British.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it so much."
Dolly packed new wands for Hermione and Cho Chang to surprise them at Christmas.
As for Luna, the gift Dolly gave was more practical.
Luna's family is not well off, and Luna's father does not have enough aesthetic taste to make it easier for Luna to integrate into the school.
In short, Luna's haphazard dressing and dazed look, apart from her nature, were partly due to the fact that she didn't have a mother to teach her by example since she was a child.
Of course, Dolly couldn't become Luna's mother, but it was easy and simple to give Luna some new clothes and shoes to make her more adorable.
If possible, Dolly wanted to just give Luna the money, but that was obviously not possible... Wait, that's not completely impossible.
Dolly thought, maybe it's time for her to get involved a little bit in things outside of school?
It's naturally difficult for Dolly to have the energy to do such a thing, but wouldn't it be better to let someone else do it for her?
After all, what Harry will face next is not only the danger within the school, but also the tremendous pressure from outside the school.
Dolly prepared the gifts and walked out of the Room of Requirement. She just wanted Diandian to take her back to the dormitory.
As a result, Diandian jumped out, grabbed Dolly's wrist, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Master Dolly, please go back to the dormitory immediately. There is danger in Hogwarts!"
Dolly raised her eyebrows and asked, "What danger?"
"The Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has been opened!"
"Someone's been petrified!"
After hearing this, Dolly found it unbelievable, and even her mind went blank for a moment.
How can this be?
Even after Dumbledore knew the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and even reinforced it with magic, the Chamber of Secrets was still opened?
"Diandian, I asked you to help me look after the Marauder's Map. What happened?"
"Who opened the secret room?"
Dolly rarely questioned Diandian in a serious tone, and Diandian was immediately frightened and trembled all over. She cried even harder and almost died.
It said in a tone that was almost choking: "Diandian doesn't know, Diandian never dares to relax, but there is really no one above, Diandian promises!"
Seeing that Diandian was about to bang her head against the wall, Dolly stopped her and said, "Diandian, I believe you. It seems that someone has blocked the Marauder's Map."
After saying that, Dolly's expression changed, and another idea came into her mind.
"Don't take me back to the dorms. I need to see Dumbledore."
"Where is he now? Is he treating the petrified people?"
"No, the principal has already taken care of it, because it was Myrtle who was petrified..."
At this point, Diandian realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and quickly apologized to Dolly again.
Dolly was relieved, because it turned out that it was the unlucky Myrtle who was petrified.
The last time Voldemort opened the Chamber of Secrets when he was young, she was the one who was petrified.
This time he scored twice.
But this also means that no one is injured for the time being, and no one will be injured next time, right?
If there were more, Dolly would have to ask Dumbledore what he was doing.
Next, Dot took Dolly to the principal's office.
Soon, the door opened and Dolly entered.
However, to Dolly's surprise, besides Dumbledore, there were also Professor McGonagall and Snape.
The moment Snape saw Dolly, his pupils contracted and he said, "Dumbledore, how did you get her involved!"
"Albus, what are you doing!?"
This time even Professor McGonagall spoke up in a bit of shock and anger, saying, "That's not something a little wizard can get involved in!"
"Calm down, Minerva, and Severus."
Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "It wasn't me who asked her to get involved, but she got involved on her own initiative."
"You could even say the other way around, if it weren't for Miss Dursley's prediction, we wouldn't even know that this danger could happen."
"It was because of her prophecy that I was able to trap the monster in the bathroom and prevent it from escaping."
Hearing this, Snape and Professor McGonagall looked at each other.
Snape said sarcastically, "Miss Dursley, how come I didn't know you could predict the future?"
Dolly grinned and said, "It's just some fragments of precognitive dreams, but it's far from a true prediction of fate."
“In fact, most of the things I predicted did not come true, but some key information will not be changed because of my predictions.”
"For example, the address of the secret room, this kind of information will never change."
At this point, Dolly put away her smile, looked at Dumbledore, and said, "Then, Mr. Headmaster, why was the Chamber of Secrets still opened?"
"Is there anyone who can break through your magical defense?"
Dumbledore sighed and said, "Miss Dursley, be patient."
"Everyone, please sit down. I have completely sealed off the bathroom now."
Hearing this, Dolly let out a sigh and sat down.
Professor McGonagall and Snape also found a place to sit down, and Dumbledore told them the details of what had happened.
"Simply put, in order not to alert the suspect, I chose to leave this bathroom in normal use."
"If I seal this bathroom directly, it will actually tell those who are interested what went wrong."
Dolly nodded, this was indeed the right approach.
"Also, I have secretly added a lot of magic to the bathroom, blocking the perception and even attention of most wizards."
"But unfortunately, all the magic I set up today were broken. This means that our opponent is at least a very powerful wizard."
At this point, Dumbledore blinked slightly and said, "But he probably didn't expect that Minerva and I had designed a powerful Transfiguration trap outside the bathroom."
"The moment the secret room was opened, it was completely sealed. No matter who was inside, no one could escape."
Hearing this, Dolly couldn't help but ask, "So you caught the person who opened the secret room?"
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "This is the strangest part."
"Apart from the traces of a certain monster, we didn't see the person who opened the secret room at all."
"Poor Myrtle might have discovered the truth, but unfortunately she was petrified by the basilisk."
"It will take a long time to remove the petrification from her body."
Dolly fell silent after hearing this.
She was wondering, who else in Hogwarts could escape the surveillance of so many wizards?
After much thought, Dolly still couldn't come up with an answer.
The principals in the portrait also joined in, and everyone talked at once, but still couldn't find the answer.
Then Dolly asked a new question: "Professor, you still haven't found the diary?"
Dumbledore gave a complicated expression and said, "Not really, Miss Dursley."
"Are you sure this isn't a new method you're using to test Harry?"
"I swear to Merlin."
Dolly's frown deepened, and after a moment's pause, she asked, "So, how are you going to handle the opening of the Chamber of Secrets? I imagine this will be the front page of the Prophet tomorrow."
"Since the opponent is able to break through your magical defense, then naturally they won't foolishly rely solely on magic to fight you."
168 Chapter 1: Riots before Christmas
After hearing Dolly's words, Professor McGonagall showed a nervous look on her face.
Although Professor McGonagall had almost endless confidence in Dumbledore, that was limited to within Hogwarts.
Once he left Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall knew how many people were dissatisfied with Dumbledore and wanted him to leave his current position.
He even dreamed of putting Dumbledore in Azkaban.
"Isn't it all right to just ignore them?"
Snape offered his own insights, even dismissing Dolly's concerns.
He really doesn't care about the outside world's views and understanding of him, otherwise he wouldn't always have greasy hair and dress like a big bat.
In fact, Dumbledore also has this tendency, otherwise more and more people would not think that he is getting senile and confused, or even becoming an old madman.
However, Dumbledore also knew that as the helmsman of Hogwarts and the most powerful face of the White Wizards, Dumbledore must be someone who cannot make mistakes.
Otherwise, what awaits him is not only doubts, but also the collapse of trust.
And Dolly's next words made this point even more succinctly.
"Dumbledore could indeed ignore the Daily Prophet and even the Ministry of Magic's advice."
"But Christmas is coming soon. If the Daily Prophet is going on like crazy and claims that Hogwarts is no longer safe, how many students will return to school?"
"Professor Snape, we can't forbid students from leaving the school, can we?"
Snape's lip trembled.
