The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly rarely saw Qiu Zhang looking so ashamed and uneasy, and it was a really wonderful feeling.

"Unfortunately, Zhang gradually cooled down and devoted himself to his career."

"I don't blame him, as he has a daughter and family to take care of, but I just want this magical restriction to be lifted quickly."

The topic turned serious again. Dolly suppressed her urge to laugh and said, "Do you have any idea? As for the price of magic on my side, I think Qiu has already explained it clearly to you, right?"

Olivia nodded, then took out a stack of manuscripts and said, “I have been studying doors for many years.”

"Without exception, each door connects to a powerful source of magical power that doesn't belong to this world. Once formed, it also represents a powerful and counterintuitive magical logic."

"I am like this, and so are you."

"The door I touched is hidden in the Department of Mysteries. It will be used to carry out executions."

Olivia's voice became somewhat ethereal and eerie as she said, "In fact, at least one person must be sent in as a sacrifice every ten years, otherwise this door will continue to lure those around it to their deaths."

"The entire Department of Mysteries was built around this door, intended to seal it, but the wizards failed."

“Later we realized the logic behind the door’s operation.”

Dolly listened quietly and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Could this be the door where Sirius died?

That is the dilapidated stone door in the Pavilion of the Four Stars in the Department of Mysteries.

It was an old, dilapidated archway.

There was no wall around the archway, and a tattered black curtain or drapery hung above it. The air around it became cold, and even without a breath of wind, the drapery would sway gently, as if someone had just touched it.

According to the description in the original book, it has at least two powers.

One is that the person who enters the other side of the door can never come back.

Others are people who have seen death and can feel the presence of someone and the voice of someone behind the door. This is true for both Harry and Luna.

The novel does not provide any further description of this door.

But now, considering what Olivia said, Dolly also felt her hair stand on end.

Perhaps this world is more troublesome than she thought?

"As for why I came into contact with this door, it was because I was originally studying the sounds behind it, and I was inadvertently bewitched by it and reached out halfway."

"Luckily, a colleague pulled me back, but I've been acting weird ever since."

Olivia showed her left hand and took off her glove. A pale, bony hand that looked fleshless appeared in front of Dolly and Qiu Zhang.

If that were all, Dolly and Qiu Zhang would not be surprised.

For wizards in the magical world, pale bones are just child's play.

But this hand seems to be constantly changing.

Sometimes it is dry, sometimes it is plump, and even the size and left and right seem to be changing, which makes people feel dizzy after watching it for a while.

Dolly even wanted to take the hand and examine it carefully, but Olivia put on her gloves again.

It was only then that Dolly noticed that the glove seemed to be made of dragon skin, with complex patterns densely woven with silver threads on it. Now it looked like some kind of text?

"That's all I've ever experienced."

"I have been trying to break this magical curse for years, but I can't."

"I want to know your experience. Maybe we can break this curse together. What do you think?"

The topic finally shifted to herself. Although Dolly had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

Miss Men is her greatest reliance and support. If she reveals Miss Men's identity, it means that she may even lose the secret code that proves she is a time traveler.

Moreover, the fact that she is a Muggle will most likely be exposed. Once this matter is leaked, it will probably cause a huge wave in the entire magical world.

Muggles are Muggles, and wizards are wizards.

Even a Squib born into a wizarding family has no human rights in the wizarding world. This shows how much wizards despise Muggles who cannot do magic.

This kind of contempt has nothing to do with the theory of pure-bloodedness. Wizards who can perform magic are equivalent to having supernatural powers. Only a very high sense of morality or legal enforcement will prevent wizards from casting spells on Muggles.

Now Dolly has actually broken this boundary, which is enough to cause panic among most wizards.

Dolly was thinking about all this, and Olivia and Qiu Zhang looked at Dolly with expectant eyes, but Dolly could only remain silent.

A trace of loneliness gradually emerged in Qiu Zhang's eyes. Seeing her disappointed expression, Duoli moved her lips and finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I haven't actually seen the so-called door."

"I still don't understand where my power comes from. It was just an ordinary summer vacation day when I suddenly fell ill and then awakened the power of magic."

"Dumbledore told me it was just a strong magical outburst, and that I had just been to the zoo before that."

"So I can't tell you about the door, but I can tell you something about what happened to me."

So next, Dolly told the story of what happened to her, choosing only the parts that outsiders could observe.

That is the story of Dolly performing a visible sacrifice while facing her enemies, and the life gem that was born because of Dolly.

Finally, Dolly took out the gem of life and let Olivia admire it.

That was all Dolly could do.

As for the secrets about Miss Men, Dolly couldn't tell anyone, not to mention Qiu Zhang, even if the Dursleys came.

Otherwise, everyone might face a catastrophe, and Dumbledore might not even protect them.

You have to know that Dumbledore killed Grindelwald with his own hands, and what Grindelwald wanted to do was to let wizards rule over Muggles.

In other words, Dumbledore was already the staunchest supporter and spokesperson for the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, regardless of whether he was convinced of it in his heart.

He could even kill the one he loved, not to mention that Dolly and Dumbledore weren't actually that close?

Qiu Zhang's eyes brightened up at this point. At least in her opinion, Dolly had told her everything.

Olivia stared at the life gem that Dolly took out, and suddenly said, "Can you lend me this gem?"

"I will ask Zhang to compensate you as much as possible. I can even teach you the magic I know, including those that cannot be learned in school."

"Of course I can, but I don't know how or if I can divide it."

Dolly spoke hesitantly. The way they used the Life Gem was still very primitive.

But Olivia smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Then she rummaged through the drawers and finally pulled out a rusty short-handled long-bladed sickle from the corner and said, "That should do it."

"This is?"

Dolly looked doubtful, but Olivia said, "Actually, I don't know either. Like I said, I will lose my memory too."

"I don't know when it was already there in the corner of the room. I might have gotten it from someone through some means, but I really don't know what it is used for."

"But what I do know is that it cuts dead objects like an ordinary sickle, but it is extremely sharp when cutting magical items."

As he spoke, Olivia took out a silver plate and slashed the sickle across it. The next second, the silver plate was split into two, and the broken end was as smooth as a mirror.

Dolly was startled, and then she looked at the sickle in front of her seriously again, and a series of words appeared again.

[Sickle: Cutting Spell Lv.6, Solidifying Spell Lv.6, Stop Spell Lv.6.]

and many more?

Dolly pinched the bridge of her nose. The curse stopped immediately?

Combining the Curse Stop Spell with other spells, what kind of amazing operation is this?

The suspension of classes was intended to prevent the spell from taking effect, but the sickle in front of him actually combined these three spells together... It was truly magical.

"Can I try it?"

"Naturally."

Dolly spoke curiously, and Olivia calmly handed her the sickle.

Then Dolly took out her mithril round shield and cut it gently with a sickle, and a smooth cut immediately appeared on it.

Now Dolly finally understood the magical structure of this sickle.

These three spells are cleverly nested together to restrain each other, so that the sickle has difficulty cutting a piece of paper.

But if it cuts a magical item, the power of the spell will turn outward to fight against the external spell power.

At this time, the power of the cutting spell began to manifest, making the sickle extremely sharp, able to cut even mithril equipment.

There are not many things that can amaze Dolly, but the sickle in front of her must be one of them, even more surprising to Dolly than the invisibility cloak.

After all, Dolly had already guessed the structure of the invisibility cloak, and the sickle in front of her embodied countless ingenuity.

"It seems like you like it very much, so how about I give it to you?"

Olivia spoke generously, which made Dolly feel embarrassed.

Qiu Zhang on the side also chimed in, saying, "If Mother hadn't taken it out, I wouldn't have known it existed. It's obviously of no use to Mother."

"And in your case, I thought you might be able to use it. After all, we..."

Qiu Zhang didn't finish her words, but Duoli understood that she wanted to say that the situation they were facing was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Dolly couldn't help but wonder, could this sickle be used to cut the Dementors?

Although Dolly thought it was unlikely, she couldn't let it go just because it could break the defense of mithril equipment.

"Then I won't be polite."

Dolly smiled shyly. After all, there is a saying that a gift from an elder cannot be refused.

Then Dolly looked at her life gem. She was somewhat reluctant in her heart before, but for Qiu Zhang's sake, Dolly was not stingy in giving a part to Olivia.

Now Dolly is convinced. She is indeed worthy of being Qiu Zhang's mother. She is exactly the same as Qiu Zhang in terms of being generous in giving gifts.

Then Dolly swung the sickle and cut off about one-third of the life gem in one stroke.

Strangely enough, the separated life gems seemed to melt and each melted into an oval shape. They did not shatter directly or leak out the magic power as Dolly had imagined.

This made Dolly completely relieved and she gave a small portion of the gems to Olivia.

Olivia took it with her normal hands, as if she had found a treasure. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Qiu Zhang, you take Miss Dursley to dinner. I want to continue my research."

Qiu Zhang nodded and took Dolly's hand.

Dolly asked curiously, "Auntie, aren't you coming with us?"

"I don't have to. After all, I might cause a riot."

"When Qiu Zhang comes back, just pack me some food for a few days. I have a refrigerator that Zhang bought."

Dolly then remembered that this was actually a town where Muggles and wizards lived together.

Although everyone here is cautious about Olivia, Olivia will definitely not have to worry about food and drink.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Dolly put away the life gem and left with Qiu Zhang, chatting and laughing.

After they left, Olivia couldn't wait to take off her gloves and held the gem of life in her dry hands.

In just a moment, the gem turned into debris.

Olivia's hands have returned to normal, and she even looks a little younger.

But these were no longer visible to Dolly or Qiu Zhang.

Chapter 267 The two became lovers.

The two of them left the lifeless mansion, and the atmosphere became visibly relaxed.

They smiled at each other, and Qiu Zhang enthusiastically took Dolly's wrist and continued, "Where should we go? Eat in the town, or go directly to Diagon Alley, or go back to London and eat in a Muggle restaurant?"

"Back to London, of course."

Dolly gave the answer without even thinking.

Although Dolly could understand the townspeople's fear of the Qiu Zhang family, she didn't want to be looked down upon by these people.

As for the food in Diagon Alley, it's even worse than British cuisine.
