The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

A large cup of hot cocoa was placed on a tray, waiting respectfully for Dolly to pick it up.

Dolly stretched out her right hand, took it and took a sip.

Melted chocolate mixed with milk, a little cinnamon and syrup creates a rich, delicious, and energy-rich drink.

Seeing that the pain on Dolly's face had disappeared a lot, Diandian puffed out his chest proudly.

Dolly still didn't praise it and said, "Go back to work, Diandian. I'll call you if I need anything."

And this was the greatest compliment to Diandian. It bowed to Dolly again and disappeared with the tray.

Dumbledore watched all this calmly, and he was in no hurry to speak.

Because many times you can see a lot of things just by observing.

For example, what kind of person is Dolly?

Dolly had caused trouble more than once, and Dumbledore knew it all, but he had never heard that Dolly was an impolite person.

On the contrary, most people feel relaxed and happy when interacting with Dolly, even professors, which shows Dolly's temperament.

Looking at Dolly's different attitude towards house-elves, it is easy to determine that Dolly is very familiar with house-elves, perhaps even more familiar than wizards.

what does this mean?

Of course, it means that Dolly has a good friend Hermione who knows everything about the magical world, and it also means that Dolly herself is a girl with strong adaptability, even too strong.

Dolly also knew that if she did this she would be exposed.

But he couldn't just take the person who saved him as an opportunity to operate on Diandian and use Diandian to dispel Dumbledore's doubts.

What's more, Dumbledore's doubts about her are definitely not so easy to dispel.

The fact that Dolly awakened her magic powers at the age of 11 remains a mystery to this day.

Dolly was even ready to add all her remaining attribute points to willpower at any time to counter Dumbledore's Legilimency.

She was not worried that Dumbledore would discover Miss Men, but whether Dumbledore would discover Dolly's identity as a time traveler was not Miss Men's business.

As for whether Dumbledore will use Legilimency on students.

The original novel and film never explicitly state that he used it, but there are indeed many places where he seems to use Legilimency, such as describing his blue eyes as sharp and able to see through others at a glance.

At the same time, Dumbledore himself did not advocate the use, at least casual use, of Legilimency, a magic that was considered bullying.

Otherwise, Dumbledore would have discovered the secrets of Quirrell and the fake Mad-Eye long ago, and many plots would not have happened at all.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore."

"I'm sorry, I just didn't come back to my senses."

"I still seemed to see a giant monster swinging a mallet in front of me, and all I could hear were screams, shrieks, and roars."

Dolly spoke first, exchanged a polite glance with Dumbledore, then lowered her head and sipped the hot cocoa.

She decided that she would drink this cup of hot cocoa all morning.

The main character is unable to see Dumbledore's eyes when he looks down.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I didn't want to mention what happened yesterday, but it seems you have calmed down a lot."

"Although it sounds incredible, there are actually some magic that can store a person's memories in external objects."

"This isn't something a first-year wizard should be exposed to, but if you really don't want to recall all that."

"I can help you deal with them so that you won't have nightmares anymore."

It certainly sounded like a very tempting suggestion, but Dolly had no choice but to refuse.

Because not letting Dumbledore snoop into her memory is Dolly's own bottom line.

You can't bet that after Dumbledore knows all about Dolly's life experience and origins, he will still treat Dolly as an ordinary person, right?

This is possible. After all, Dumbledore's moral character is trustworthy most of the time.

But the last person to do this was Snape. He gave everything he had to Dumbledore, and then lived for revenge and became Dumbledore's loyal follower.

As for the ending of Snape's life...it's better not to talk about it.

In any case, Dolly could not give the decision of her life and destiny to others, and not become a person who depends on others to live. This is the minimum self-esteem for a modern young person.

So Dolly said, "Professor, my memory can be erased, but what happened yesterday can't be erased, right?"

"I almost died, and I want to know what happened."

Dolly's voice was light and airy, and she even made the sound of slurping hot cocoa, but Dumbledore felt the atmosphere suddenly become heavy.

However, this was indeed a topic that could not be avoided, but Dumbledore did not expect that it was Dolly who brought up the topic first.

It seems that he is stronger than he thought.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's start with the troll. I ordered Professor Quirrell to bring the troll in to protect something."

"An old friend of mine has entrusted me with something for safekeeping. A very powerful wizard covets it, so I invite all professors to help."

"Professor Quirrell was confident he was good at the troll, but apparently he messed up. The troll got out of his control, wandered around the castle, and finally ran into you..."

Dolly waited for Dumbledore to finish speaking before whispering back, "So, this is a coincidence?"

"I don't know, Miss Dursley."

Dumbledore said sincerely, "That is exactly what needs to be investigated."

"Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional?"

"Now, can you tell me what happened to you yesterday?"

Dumbledore described everything bluntly, without giving Dolly the answer she wanted.

Dolly followed suit and said, "My friends Hermione and Cho Chang are having a fight, and I want to know why."

"So I went to ask the Fat Friar, and the Fat Friar suggested that I ask the house-elves."

"There, I learned how to communicate with them, and then Diandian and the others became... friends? I unilaterally called them friends. After all, they only need their masters."

"Then I was planning to go find Hermione and Cho Zhang to sort this out, but then I suddenly got carried away and just wanted to go to the bathroom to find Hermione."

"Hermione wasn't there, but I stayed in the bathroom until the troll attacked me."

Dolly still lowered her head, her tone full of doubt and confusion: "This can't be a coincidence, right?"

"It's really hard to describe it as a coincidence."

Dumbledore did not deny Dolly's words, nor was he surprised by her words.

In fact, Myrtle had told Dumbledore everything she knew. Except for what Dolly said about her previous contact with the house-elves, Dolly's words were almost consistent with Myrtle's testimony.

"So, someone is planning to kill me, right?"

Dolly bravely looked up at Dumbledore, and found that Dumbledore was also staring at her with sharp blue eyes. Then she lowered her head again, and her fingers holding the quilt began to tighten, and the veins bulged.

She seemed to remember the scene of the giant monster attacking her and fell into deep fear.

Dumbledore then looked away. He had to admit that he had not been able to see through Dolly as well as he saw through Harry. It turned out that sorting her into Ravenclaw was the right choice.

"Miss Dursley, this is a serious accusation."

Dumbledore spoke again, his voice even slightly harsh: "Someone did cast a spell on you, keeping you in the bathroom."

"But there's no evidence that the person who did this to you also sent the troll to the bathroom, right?"

Dolly frowned. What was Dumbledore doing?

Doesn't she intend to deal with Qi Luo now, or does she think her testimony isn't enough to make Qi Luo explode?

"Professor, I almost died."

"You mean to say that I was the victim of a prank and happened to run into the troll by chance, and it was purely my own bad luck?"

Dumbledore could tell that Dolly was angry, but he didn't back down on the issue. Instead, he said, "Miss Dursley, I hope you understand."

"You are making a very serious accusation. You are accusing Professor Quirrell of placing the Imperius Curse on you and then sending the troll to the bathroom to kill you."

"Do you know what will happen if you insist on making such an accusation?"

Dolly calmly took a sip of her hot cocoa and said, "Will he go to Azkaban?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Magic can sentence a person to death."

"But before sentencing him to death, the Ministry of Magic will conduct a rigorous investigation into this matter, as it concerns Hogwarts and me. Our Minister of Magic, Fudge, will be happy to make it an ironclad case."

"Only if you can produce evidence, Miss Dursley."

"If there is no evidence, then the person who might be sent to the Wizengamot will be you."

Dolly raised her head slowly. This time she was not afraid of Dumbledore, and she didn't even care that he might use Legilimency.

She spoke slowly, "What if I had evidence, Professor Dumbledore?"

"I'm all ears."

Dumbledore also looked at Dolly, without casting any magic, but just used his more than a hundred years of experience to feel Dolly's anger at the moment.

"The Flashback Charm, Professor, should reveal something."

"I'm sorry, Miss Dursley, but Snape tried it on the spot and found no signs of the Imperius Curse being used."

"Then investigating Quirrell's entire body shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Of course it's not difficult, but isn't it... a bit too hasty for us to search Professor Quirrell without any evidence, just because of your accusation?"

Dolly was in disbelief and said, "Professor, I almost died!"

"I know, Miss Dursley. We are all deeply shocked and distressed, but that is no reason for you to identify Professor Quirrell."

"Unless you have other evidence."

Dumbledore continued, "Perhaps you would agree to allow us and the Ministry of Magic to investigate your body to confirm that you have been under the Imperius Curse."

"Do you think this is acceptable?"

"If that's acceptable, then as long as it's proven that there are remnants of the Imperius Curse in your body, I guarantee that everyone in Hogwarts will be subject to a thorough, thorough examination."

84 Chapter 3 I Won't Give Up

"Professor, Myrtle can testify for me. She also said that I was under the Imperius Curse."

Dolly began to argue, but Dumbledore was clearly prepared.

"I actually asked Myrtle about this. Unfortunately, she was only 14 when she died. She didn't fully understand what the Imperius Curse was, let alone experience it herself."

"Not to mention that she's a ghost, and ghosts aren't considered to have the same level of judgment as wizards."

Dolly narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Professor, are you saying that I might not be able to tell the difference between the Imperius Curse and the Imperius Curse? After all, even the 14-year-old little witch Myrtle couldn't tell the difference."

"Although you may find what I said offensive... I do think that you may not be able to distinguish between the Imperius Curse and the Confusion Curse, or other control methods such as potions."

"Miss Dursley, theoretically it's unlikely that you can tell them apart. After all, you haven't had the chance to experience them, or even learn them, right?"

"and……"

Dumbledore pulled out a pitch-black wand from his sleeve. The wand had been broken in the middle, with only a piece of animal hair inside barely holding it together.

"We found this in the grass outside the window of the bathroom where the accident happened. I have asked Mr. Ollivander to identify and repair it."

"This is a homemade wand from abroad. It's very crude and not up to par with the standard, but it can still cast some spells."

"Although Mr. Ollivander's restoration of it was not completely successful—well, Mr. Ollivander refused to completely restore it. But I tried to use the Flashback Charm on it, and still managed to see some images."

Dumbledore pointed his wand at the broken wand, and a handful of sparks flew out. Dumbledore said calmly: "It's a very powerful Confusion Charm, not something that ordinary people can use."

"But some senior students are already able to try it, so now there are more than a dozen suspects."

Dolly's breathing quickened, her chest rising and falling slightly. She said, "Professor, since we know this is a foreign wand, wouldn't we be able to get a clue by investigating its origin?"

"As someone who has access to a foreign wand, can cast a spell with it, and then break it and throw it away, Quirrell is the most suspicious, right?"

"And I think with your wisdom, you can definitely use other means to test Quirrell and determine whether he is the murderer, just like what you are telling me now."

Dumbledore remained unmoved and continued to look at Dolly calmly.

Dolly continued, "I heard from Qiu Zhang that Professor Quirrell wasn't like that in the past."

"He's become very strange. Aren't you curious about what happened to him?"

Quirrell used to be a professor who taught Muggle Studies. He was a talented person with a solid theoretical foundation.
