The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Snape read fragments of Harry's memory, so he didn't know Dolly's own thoughts.

So he still didn't understand why Dolly suddenly changed her hair color.

If Dolly's hair was still blonde instead of red, Snape wouldn't have lost his composure like that.

This gave Snape a very bad feeling.

That's Dolly, could she know some stories from his past?

Theoretically, no one should have told Dolly, but... it's not impossible that Lily told her sister the story about Snape, and then Dolly's mother relayed it to Dolly.

If this really happened, the problem would be serious.

It’s not that Snape was worried that his embarrassing moments would be known to the new generation of students. Anyway, no one dared to say anything bad about him now.

As the head of Slytherin House, no one dared to say no when Snape wanted to punish someone except Dumbledore.

What Snape was most worried about was that if the fact that he liked Lily was leaked, it would mean that his future undercover plan might be exposed.

Although it was still unknown whether Voldemort could come back, Snape did not dare to be careless in the face of the noseless man who could not be named.

He stared at Dolly, wanting to see her reaction.

If Dolly really knew something, Snape had to do something.

Dolly's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this question could not be avoided.

And at this time, if she continued to say that she had no idea, Dolly would be worried about exposing her flaws even if Snape didn't use Legilimency.

So she simply said something that was 90% true, "Professor Snape, I just said that I want to be as good as my mother and aunt."

"My mother is an excellent Muggle. She is a qualified wife and an outstanding mother. She raised Harry and me and managed the lives of the four of us in an orderly manner."

"My mother told me that my aunt is Harry's mother. She is the most outstanding witch and is loved by many people at Hogwarts. Her beautiful red hair will be unforgettable to many people."

"So, red is probably my lucky color. I hope that if my aunt is still alive, she can see me and use her magic to bless me."

What Dolly said was not a lie, because her mother did tell her these things.

The specific situation is that after Petunia and Vernon returned to the Muggle world from Diagon Alley and lost interest in the magical world, Dolly took the initiative to talk to Petunia about Harry's mother, Lily.

Because she was no longer so afraid of the wizarding world and Petunia had let go of her worries, she told Dolly a lot about Lily, but she still kept the cause of Lily's death a secret.

Of course, Petunia knew almost nothing about the magical world, because at that time her and her sisters were not on good terms, and Lily couldn't share her experiences with Petunia.

But Penny's praise for Lily did happen, it was just that she didn't know the facts and was just praising her to fool a child out of her good impression of Lily.

All he needed to do was make up a beautiful love story between James and Lily on the spot.

Now Dolly merely repeated what she had said, omitting all reference to James.

Dolly's words were mostly true, and Snape couldn't see any problem with it.

What Dolly described was common human emotion, and even the longing in her eyes didn't seem false.

This caused a ripple in Snape's heart, which had just been closed to love because of the huge difference in image between Dolly and Lily.

She is indeed not Lily...but she is Lily's relative.

And compared to the young and inexperienced Harry next to her, Dolly is indeed more like Harry.

Dolly's next words made Snape, whose heart had softened a little, almost break down again.

This was Dolly's decisive move to prevent Snape from continuing to dwell on this issue.

"By the way, Professor, did you know my aunt when you were studying at Hogwarts? Her last name was Evans."

Upon hearing this, Harry stared at Snape with wide eyes, as if he had heard some news about his mother from Snape.

Now Snape was stared at by two pairs of Lily's eyes, and he almost had a cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, compared to the previous scene full of scenes, memories, spells, and words, Snape can still handle the current situation.

He replied indifferently, "I don't know him, I'm not familiar with him, and I don't understand him."

A refreshing one-click triple combo.

After that, as if to stop Dolly from speaking any further, Snape said, "We don't have much time left. If you don't want more people to see your ugly deeds."

"Then shut up from now on, gather your emotions, and prepare to participate in the upcoming sorting ceremony."

After saying that, Snape glanced at everyone, and after seeing that everyone had really shut up, he slowly turned his head to look at Dolly.

After a moment of silence, he said carefully, "Miss Dursley, I am very optimistic about you coming to Slytherin House if you really want to become an excellent witch."

"After all, Slytherin is the strongest house and has won the House Cup for several consecutive years, and I am the headmaster of this house."

"Although the Sorting Ceremony examines each person's talents, perhaps praying sincerely will also help."

After saying that, Snape gave Malfoy a clean-up, leaving him looking no different from before except for his messy hair.

Then he turned around, walked up the stairs, opened the door and walked into the hall.

The group was left staring at each other in bewilderment. Ron's face was filled with surprise as he said, "We passed?"

"I thought each of us was going to be dangled around by that guy's magic spell!"

Neville even sat directly on the ground, breathing heavily, his back soaked with sweat.

Harry was a little disappointed, and turned to look at Dolly, wanting to ask something.

Dolly said, "If you have any questions, write to your aunt. You have to understand this matter yourself."

Harry was speechless for a moment, thinking that what Dolly said made a lot of sense.

For a whole August, he didn't even bother asking Petunia and Vernon about his parents.

This cannot be simply explained by forgetfulness or distrust, but also shows that while Harry longs to know his parents' past, he is also secretly afraid of it all.

It’s like parents are always the most perfect supermen before their children grow up.

Hermione saw that Dolly and Harry had finished their conversation, and then she excitedly took Dolly's hand. The issues she was concerned about were more practical.

"Dolly, the Head of Slytherin has invited you personally. How about we go to Slytherin together?"

"In our own world, if we were invited by a key figure from a top university, our parents would definitely be overjoyed!"

Chapter 47: The 3rd Sorting Ceremony Begins

Dolly seemed not to have heard Hermione, still processing what Snape had just said.

Snape asked her to go to Slytherin?

Is this a trap, or is Snape really greedy for money, or does he want to make up for his guilt towards Lily through her?

I have to say, Snape's invitation is still a bit exciting.

Although Dolly is not suitable for learning magic at the moment, what if she can take off with the help of Gold Finger in the future?

And Dolly had some ideas that might require Snape's help.

In Slytherin, Dolly felt that Snape would most likely not be stingy in helping her.

Dolly originally came to Hogwarts mainly to experience life, and she will live in the Muggle world in the future.

Being taken care of by Snape for a few years seems to be a good choice?

The idea of giving up began to stir in her mind, but Hermione's words at this time made Dolly wake up.

"But how did he choose you? In our place, such a situation would require joint recommendations from many important people."

Yes, how could Snape fall for her!

All he was attracted by was this face that was extremely similar to Lily's.

Hermione was probably the person who least realized the seriousness of the problem in this conflict.

However, this also provides her with a perspective that is most suitable for ordinary people, allowing Dolly to understand the development of the matter more calmly.

Dolly can tank, but only if she creates a safe enough environment for herself and then tanks within her comfort zone.

Otherwise, if you were to lie on the rooftop on a windy day, your life might be gone in the blink of an eye.

Hogwarts, the safest place in the world, will be an area where accidents frequently occur in the next few years.

Although these disasters are actually not difficult to avoid, who can guarantee that Dolly will not trigger a butterfly effect?

Moreover, Snape himself is the biggest danger factor.

If Dolly really did what she wanted with Lily's face, it would be like putting her head under the switch and handing the switch to Snape.

The feeling of having your life and death controlled by others is suffocating just thinking about it.

So Dolly definitely can't go to Slytherin.

People should always have some spirit of self-reliance. They should be in a bad state in order to better enjoy life, not to liberate themselves as soon as possible.

As for asking Snape for help, she could consider it in the long term. After all, she still had seven years of student life.

As for where to go after not going to Slytherin, it’s actually not that important.

As long as she can be with Hermione, Dolly is willing to go to Hufflepuff.

So Dolly said, "I think so too. And with how unstable he was just now, do you really dare to study with him?"

"He even beat Malfoy. Ron said Malfoy's father is the governor of Hogwarts, right?"

"Have you ever seen a professor in our school dare to hit the son of a school board member?"

Hermione was speechless for a moment, and then she remembered how Snape looked when he punished Malfoy just now. Thinking about it now made Hermione's legs go weak.

"So where are we going? The ceremony is about to begin and I don't want to be separated from you."

Hermione held Dolly's arm, and at this moment her tone was filled with a tender attachment compared to her usual pride and even arrogance.

Obviously, Hermione's view on the magical world has changed from a beautiful expectation of a fantasy life to awe for the wizards in the magical world.

This is actually a good thing. Perhaps it will help Hermione adapt to the atmosphere here faster.

When Dolly heard Hermione's words, she immediately thought of Snape's words and said, "Let's just keep praying. Maybe what he says will really be useful?"

"I'll pray not to go to Slytherin, and you can pray to be in the same house as me, how about that?"

Snape had hinted that the Sorting Hat would listen to the advice of the young wizards, and now Dolly made this clear to Hermione.

Hermione nodded in approval.

What Dolly said might not be credible, but as long as it was said by the professor, the credibility immediately increased several times.

Just as a few people were whispering, the door of the banquet hall opened again.

Malfoy shuddered, and even the rest of the group stiffened.

But a warm female voice came, and the person coming was Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall.

"I've already heard what happened from Headmaster Snape. He was a little too excited. This was just a conflict between young wizards who hadn't even started school yet."

"Of course, that's assuming you've forgiven each other."

Seeing that no one was talking, Mag smiled with satisfaction.

She naturally knew that everyone might be dissatisfied in their hearts, but this was the sorting ceremony after all, and no more mistakes could be made.

"Mr. Malfoy, could you please fix your hair... I can provide a bottle of fast-acting lubricant if necessary."

Malfoy hurried to straighten his hair. He would rather spit in his hair than use Potter's shampoo.

"Miss Dolly, that was a nice color-changing spell, but now it has to change back."

Dolly quickly lowered her head and asked Hermione to help remove the spell. If she did it alone, she might end up in a mess.

"When you're ready, form two lines. Your classmates will be here soon."

After Mag finished speaking, there was a bustling sound outside the door.

Hagrid knocked hard on the door, and McGonagall used a spell to open it.

Hagrid quickly looked around the room and was relieved to see that Harry was safe.

"All first years, Professor McGonagall."

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, Hagrid. Leave the rest to me."
