The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

This also gave Dolly more time and energy to think about the other party's motives.

It was obvious that the other party's purpose was to throw Dolly here.

As for the rest of the plan, it was not up to Dolly.

This temporarily eliminated the possibility that Voldemort was seeking revenge against her, and that she was essentially bait for the ensuing questions and actions.

So who is the one to be fished for?

Of course it couldn't be Harry. By now Harry probably knew about her disappearance and had already written to the professors at Hogwarts.

And the professor who knows the news will definitely come over...

Thinking of this, a clue appeared in Dolly's mind.

Sure enough, is it still because of the secret room?

Now the secret room is probably under heavy supervision, and anyone who has ideas about the secret room will no longer be able to release the basilisk.

In order to do something else, he could only find a bait to lure the big fish Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, and then take the opportunity to act.

This also explains why Dolly has to be the bait, not Harry.

If Harry becomes the bait, then what is waiting for the other side will not be Dumbledore the fish, but the sharks of the entire Order of the Phoenix.

What a good plan!

Dolly warmed her hands and couldn't help but admire the other person's actions.

This no longer seemed like a fool's plan, but rather a plan based on rigorous considerations and pragmatic actions. It didn't even seem like something the Malfoys could come up with.

Who is it?

Dolly really couldn't figure out who was secretly against her in Hogwarts.

Unless this person is not a character in the original book, but that would be too outrageous.

After much thought, Dolly still couldn't find the answer.

Her body had regained its warmth, so she turned her attention to her shelter.

Dolly felt that she couldn't just wait like this, and even though the other party's target didn't seem to be her, Dolly also had to be wary of wild beasts or other dark wizards.

So Dolly walked out of the shelter with her wand and began to select some wood of a size that she could pull. She pulled a large pile of logs to the shelter and then used the logs to form walls and roofs.

Then a series of spells were cast inside and outside the house, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed my mind.

It was already afternoon, and Dolly had been working for more than six hours.

Although I was starving, at least the problem of warmth was solved.

Then Dolly thought about how to hunt.

At first glance, there is nothing here except bare trees and snow. It is obviously unrealistic to hunt by relying on one's legs.

After thinking for a while, Dolly had an idea.

He molded a large white rabbit out of the snow and placed it on an open space not far from the shelter. He then used Transfiguration to turn it gray and began to move.

This is what Dolly has come up with now. Since it is not convenient for her to catch the prey, she lets the prey find her.

If this trick fails to catch prey today, Dolly will have to consider other methods at night or tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Dolly began to sit down and rest.

Her home and Hogwarts must be a mess by now, right?

Hogwarts was fine, but Dolly couldn't imagine how anxious her parents would be.

Although Dolly is not their daughter in the true sense, she inherited the memories of the original owners, and the close interactions over the past year have made Dolly regard them as her relatives.

And Hermione and Qiu Zhang... I wonder if they know about this?

They must have known, there was no way to hide it from them.

Because according to Dolly's habit, even if she spends the first few days of the Christmas holiday with her family, she will still talk to two people on the phone.

After all, how to play next is something that needs planning.

Besides, after Harry discovered that Dolly was missing, the first thing he thought of was probably to contact Hermione and Cho Chang to ask if Dolly had gone to play with them.

Thinking of this, Dolly couldn't help but start to wonder to what extent they would be anxious.

Will you cry for her?

"She's not with you?"

Harry scratched his head. His hair was a mess and he hadn't even washed it yet.

He was dragged up by his aunt and uncle to look for Dolly's trace, which made Harry feel a little emotional.

Anyway, Dolly must be going to play with Hermione and Qiu Zhang again. She can't be going on an adventure somewhere so early, right?

However, after Harry finished calling Hermione and Cho Chang, he came to his senses.

It feels like something is not right.

"Hedwig, did you see Dolly go out?"

So Harry immediately ran back to the room to ask Hedwig.

Unlike the original book where Hedwig had to be locked in a cage, Hedwig now has her own little house outside the window, which can protect her from wind and sun.

However, Hedwig still likes to spend the night in Harry's room, but this does not prevent Hedwig from continuing to have the nature of a nocturnal animal.

When it is bored, it will stand by the window and look out. The window faces the direction of the gate. It can be said that Hedwig can see everything in the direction of the main gate and even everything on the street.

This is actually a hunting instinct.

So when Harry asked Hedwig, he would normally get an affirmative nod as an answer.

However, Hedwig shook her head and even tilted her head to look at Harry, as if asking her where she had been?

Harry's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Dolly can't go play with Luna, right?

Or maybe he went to some magical place?

With one last glimmer of hope, Harry simply threw on his clothes and took his wand, went to the door and summoned the Knight Bus.

Harry's heart sank after seeing the car arrive in almost no time.

"Have you seen my sister, Dolly Dursley, the blonde girl, very beautiful."

Harry looked at the conductor hopefully, and Stan yawned and said, "Come on, Harry, it's Christmas break."

"We're already pissed off that we're forced to work overtime today, and yet no one's taking the bus today, and you're the first one."

"As for your sister, maybe she went to play with some good friends?"

Harry watched the Knight Bus leave in dismay, while Petunia and Vernon, who were watching from a distance, could no longer sit still.

Petunia was so nervous that her body was shaking, but Vernon managed to remain calm by gritting his teeth.

He came to Harry and said to him seriously: "Harry, this is a conversation between the two of us men."

"I know it's a little difficult to ask you to use magic to find Dolly, but now you have to at least give me a judgment."

"That is whether Dolly disappeared in the Muggle world or the magical world."

"If it's the former, we'll call the police. If it's the latter, we'll go to the Ministry."

Vernon didn't understand anything about the wizarding world, but his words were undoubtedly rational and calm, which gave Harry's panic some direction.

He hurried to Dolly's room, stood at the door and observed carefully, then thought for a while and used a magic.

"The trace appears!"

Harry only had a vague impression of this magic after seeing Hermione use it once, and even the posture of swinging the wand was not completely correct.

But miraculously, Harry still used this magic.

This is probably what makes Harry stronger than ordinary wizards, that is, he can better utilize the power of his emotions to make magic stronger and even create miracles.

Although it may seem a little outrageous, this is actually the essence of magic.

Miracles created by the power of belief.

Then, Harry saw a vortex-like magical fluctuation on Dolly's bed, which seemed to suck people in.

Furthermore, there were no further signs of magic in Dolly's room or on the windowsill, which Harry understood instantly.

Dolly was sucked away by some kind of magic.

This was beyond Harry's control, so he immediately began writing to Hedwig, asking her to pass the news to the professors at Hogwarts.

Then something seemed to occur to Harry.

He quickly ran to the living room and asked Vernon and Petunia to wait.

Then he began to use all the spells he had learned frantically, as if directly challenging the Ministry of Magic's ban.

Not long after, a warning letter was dropped in front of Harry by an owl.

After all, the Ministry of Magic was in London, below the Muggle Prime Minister's office, while Hogwarts was somewhere where the train would have to travel all day.

Before Harry could take the letter, it floated up by itself and began to warn Harry.

The principle is very similar to that of a howling letter, but the attitude is not as crazy as that of a howling letter.

"Dear Mr. Potter:

We have received information that you performed a fire spell in front of two Muggles in a Muggle-inhabited area at 7:23 this morning.

This is an act that violates the law on reasonable restraint of underage wizards. Since you did not cause any casualties, you will only be given a warning this time.

I hope you will remember the law and not add unnecessary workload to the Ministry during the Christmas holidays.

—Mafalda Hopkirk.”

The letter was generally sincere and earnest, which surprised Harry; he had expected a scolding.

But then Harry realized that it was the Christmas holidays and the other party might think he was performing magic for his adoptive parents.

However, before Harry could take the letter, the next one rushed over.

"Dear Mr. Potter:

We have received information that you performed a Levitation Charm at 7:23 this morning in a Muggle-inhabited area in the presence of two Muggles.

This is an act that violates the law on reasonable restraint of underage wizards. Since you did not cause any casualties, you will only be given a warning this time.

I hope you will remember the law and not add unnecessary workload to the Ministry during the Christmas holidays.

Also, this is your second spell today.

We can understand that this is because you did not receive the warning letter in time. We hope that you will stop immediately after receiving the warning letter.

—Mafalda Hopkirk.”

This letter was obviously much harsher than the previous one, but the wording still remained calm and restrained.

Maybe, as the letter said, the Ministry of Magic could sense whether Harry stopped after receiving the warning letter.

Next, Harry received dozens of letters in a row.

The words gradually became harsher and then a little frustrated, but in the end he still maintained his rationality.

Obviously, the person who issued these warning letters still insisted on the final bottom line, which was whether Harry would still use magic after receiving the first letter.

The answer is obviously yes.

Harry flicked his wand and turned a cup into a mouse.

Although this mouse still looks like it's made of glass, its level of transformation is quite impressive among its peers.

Snapped!

There was a loud bang outside the door, and then the door was pushed open roughly. A witch roared in an angry voice almost like a bull: "Harry Potter!"

"Today is the first day of the Christmas holidays, and you're causing chaos for the entire Ministry. I need an explanation, now!"

It was Mafalda Hopkirk, an assistant in the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Prevention of the Improper Use of Magic.
