Someone nearby recognized the type of fireworks and shouted to stop them, but it was too late.

Originally, Quirrell seemed to be an unlucky guy who was constantly bombarded by fireworks. After being hit by the clear water, he became the fireworks themselves, and flashes burst out from his whole body, attracting everyone's attention. Even Harry was not so attractive anymore.

After all, these butterfly fireworks are transformed from Filibuster fireworks—the outer shell becomes wings, while the inner part remains. And this type of fireworks is ignited by water, not flames.

Upon seeing this, the adult wizards could only flee in all directions, and some even jumped over the wall to hide in the stands. Although many people knew that these fireworks had little lethality besides a little spark, they were still too terrifying to watch.

Snape also got up at this time. Although he fell in a very embarrassing way and his nose was bleeding, looking at Quirrell's appearance, he suddenly felt that his nose not only did not hurt, but it was even itchy and wanted to laugh.

He still hadn't figured out who was behind this, but he wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

Snape took out his wand and pointed it at Quirrell, saying, "I'm sorry, Professor Quirrell. I want to help you out of this misery."

After saying that, he immediately performed the hanging bell technique.

Quirrell flew into the sky and hung in the air, the fireworks on his body still exploding, now he looked more like a human-shaped firework.

"Everyone, please help me put out the flames on Professor Quirrell."

Snape ignored Quirrell's screams and spoke directly to the adult wizards around him. He did not want to be accused of attacking his colleagues.

The wizards around immediately understood that Snape was being kind-hearted and wanted to allow Quirrell to accept everyone's help without igniting the wooden board under his butt.

So a group of people joined forces to take action. Most people used the fire extinguishing spell, and some used the stopping spell. They probably thought that magic fireworks should be considered magic, not real flames.

Snape also chanted the Extinguishing Charm loudly along with the crowd, but secretly used a silent Banishing Charm.

Neither of these two spells has any light effects, so there is no difference in appearance, but people around Snape will think that Snape's Extinguishing Charm is more powerful.

But in reality, Snape was aiming at Quirrell's clothes.

So the next second, under the effect of the expulsion spell and magical fireworks, Quirrell's robe was torn into several pieces as if being pulled by ropes and fell to the ground, revealing the dirty pants and shirt underneath.

This almost made Quirrell suffer the same treatment as Snape, who was bullied by James.

But this still did not satisfy Snape. He wanted to see if there were any flaws in Quirrell, such as traces of dark magic, in order to judge Quirrell's position.

Especially the turban on the back of Quirrell's head, Snape had disliked it for a long time, and always felt that there must be a secret under the turban that made Quirrell look like this now.

Snape was about to attack again, but the screaming Quirrell knocked the turban off his head, revealing a big bald head covered with white ringworm spots, which looked ugly and funny.

This scene made Snape dumbfounded. Quirrell only had this kind of ringworm on the back of his head, and nothing else strange?

Is it because you got sick and all your hair fell out that you have to cover your head?

It really seems like a reasonable explanation...but why doesn't Snape believe it?

He was just about to continue trying to take off the rest of Quirrell's clothes, when Malfoy, whose nose began to bleed, ran out excitedly and looked at the professor as if waiting for a reward.

Snape looked at Malfoy with a questioning look on his face, as if asking, "Why are you here?"

"Professor, I caught..."

Malfoy was just about to say that Ron and Neville were the murderers who attacked Snape when a series of sparks suddenly burst out from Malfoy's pocket.

This scared everyone present, and immediately a bunch of spells were thrown at Malfoy, knocking him away - many spells have impact force, which is related to the magic power consumed when releasing the spell.

Malfoy fell dizzy and had no idea what was going on, but Snape had already pointed his wand at Malfoy's pocket and pulled out a bunch of hard-to-pull fireworks.

The scene became quiet in an instant.

Everyone had an expression as if it was you, even Snape's face flashed with annoyance and helplessness, and finally turned into pretending to be strict and protective of his child.

"Mr. Malfoy, you may remain silent now, but before I return, you'd better think of an explanation for all the fireworks on you."

"Please help me clean up this mess."

After saying that, Snape left without looking back.

Malfoy looked at the fireworks in his hand and realized that he seemed to have been fooled again?

"No, these are not my fireworks, Professor, I..."

Malfoy was about to say something when a series of exclamations came from the field. It turned out that Harry had finally climbed onto his broom and was chasing after the Slytherin Seeker.

In just a few breaths, he overtook the Slytherin Seeker and then chased the Golden Snitch relentlessly.

Naturally, no one paid attention to Malfoy.

Except for Dolly and the other two who just came over.

Hermione's silencing spell and Qiu Zhang's freezing spell hit Malfoy at the same time.

Seeing that something was wrong, Goyle and Crabbe, who were holding Ron and Neville, quickly stood up and wanted to help. A figure appeared in the darkness as fast as lightning, punching and kicking the two men in the stomach continuously, knocking them to the ground and finally rolling to Malfoy's side.

The next person to emerge from the shadows was Dolly, who looked unhappy.

94 Confession to Hermione Qiu Zhang

"Dolly, what do we do next?"

Hermione hurried over, her face pale with nervousness, her chest heaving rapidly.

In fact, she didn't do anything, she just cast a spell on Malfoy, but it was undoubtedly a challenge for a first-year Ravenclaw wizard to do such an exciting thing for the first time.

Even Qiu Zhang wasn't much better.

On the court, he could surpass his limits and perform a performance that made hundreds of people scream with excitement, but at this time the tip of his wand was trembling slightly, just because Dolly was still pointing firmly at Malfoy.

On the other hand, Malfoy's face was pale, his eyes were full of despair, and he didn't even dare to look at Dolly, for fear that Dolly would see the anger and hatred in his eyes.

Dolly glanced at the three of them and said lightly, "We are here to save Ron and Neville. His harming Professor Quirrell has nothing to do with us."

Malfoy's eyes instinctively turned to Dolly, as if he couldn't believe that Dolly would frame him.

However, Dolly only said this casually, because she knew very well that today's incident would probably be left unresolved, because no one would search the entire Hogwarts for the murderer because of such a small matter.

After all, didn’t the incident of her being attacked by a giant monster just end in vain?

Compared to that incident, Quirrell and Malfoy were just a little embarrassed, this was nothing.

Now Dolly began to understand why there were so many small groups and organizations in Hogwarts, and even dark wizard organizations that were partial to the Death Eaters.

The essence is that Hogwarts only maintains the most superficial management of conflicts between students. Deeper and more hidden violence will almost all be let go. Unless there is a death or irreversible magical damage, no one will be punished.

This is not difficult to understand. The professors at Hogwarts are already too busy teaching classes every day. It is completely unrealistic to expect them to deal with all the conflicts between students.

Coupled with Dumbledore's age of over a hundred years, it is not surprising that Hogwarts is full of extensive management thinking.

Just being able to understand is one thing, but truly agreeing is another.

The lack of management and system construction in the school will naturally give rise to the survival of small student organizations. Otherwise, facing such a situation, Dolly alone would inevitably face another fierce battle between flesh and magic.

Now with the help of Hermione and Qiu Zhang, the three of them took control of the situation in an instant and could even calmly arrange the follow-up.

Small organizations will not be explicitly banned, and they can really reap the benefits. They will form small organizations and become increasingly rampant - or active, which is inevitable.

Didn’t Harry in the original novel also take this path? Although the organization he led was Dumbledore’s Army, which was on the side of justice, the results were similar.

Now Dolly has no choice but to take this path.

However, this was not the reason why Dolly was a little bored, but because she had really embarrassed Quirrell today, which was a kind of revenge to some extent.

But Quirrell showed his bald head without Voldemort's parasite, which meant that Voldemort, the object of Dolly's revenge, had disappeared. Obviously, Quirrell had moved it away long ago.

I think after Dolly killed the troll, Voldemort, who sensed something was wrong, had already escaped, or was temporarily hidden in a safe place by Quirrell, to be retrieved after Quirrell had dealt with the inspection of Hogwarts.

But perhaps Quirrell and Voldemort did not expect that Hogwarts would let them go just like that.

Then the nature of Quirrell's attack on Harry today changed, from an assassination attempt on Harry by Voldemort to an active provocation by Quirrell.

Maybe all this was part of Voldemort's plan, to clear Quirrell of suspicion - compared to the fact that there was Voldemort on Quirrell's head, it was actually easy to fool Quirrell about the curse he cast on Harry.

As long as Quirrell said that he was also helping Harry and that someone attacked Harry, everything would be over.

Dolly was so badly injured then, but Hogwarts didn't use Veritaserum or Legilimency on him, and they certainly won't do that now.

If that really happened, Dolly would definitely rush to laugh at Dumbledore's hypocrisy.

Dolly waved and told Hermione and Cho Chang to follow her.

On the other side, Ron and Neville had already stood up, both of them had bruised faces and noses. It was indeed too difficult for them to fight against the Malfoy trio at the same time.

Dolly raised her wand, and the magic power that had just been drained by the Transfiguration had recovered a little, so she cast a healing spell on each of the two people.

In an instant, the two people felt the pain on their faces disappear, and only dust remained.

"It's truly astonishing. How come I didn't know that healing was so powerful?"

Ron touched his recovered face, his eyes full of disbelief.

Hermione said proudly, "Dolly's wand is made of willow, which is the most suitable material for healing spells. Even Madam Pomfrey is optimistic that Dolly will become a doctor in the wizarding world."

"You are very lucky to have received treatment from Dolly."

Ron's mouth twitched, and he wanted to refute, but chose to keep silent for Dolly's sake.

Although Malfoy's evaluation of Ron was too subjective, it was an ironclad fact that Ron was very concerned about his reputation.

It was only because Dolly was present that Ron would not have listened to Hermione so obediently.

"Thank you, Dolly."

Neville honestly thanked Dolly, and then said: "Ron and I are here because we saw Snape using a spell to hurt Harry, but now it seems that everything is over."

Ron nodded quickly and said, "Let's get out of here quickly. Harry might win."

The cheers outside the stadium were getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that the game had entered a critical stage.

Dolly didn't waste any time and said, "Ron, Neville, you just need to remember one thing."

"You came here because you saw Malfoy sneaking around and then you got into a fight with them, other than that you didn't do anything."

Ron's eyes lit up and he reacted immediately.

Only Neville hesitated and said, "This is not a good idea, and it is not Professor Snape who is wrong... But we were indeed beaten by Malfoy and the others."

Ron was a little impatient. What was wrong with them just telling a lie to frame Malfoy?

He was about to say something to Neville when Dolly looked at him seriously and said, "Neville, I know you are an honest and upright person, but this is a special case."

"Actually, from our perspective, it's clearer. It's Snape and Quirrell who are casting spells at the same time—or maybe there are more people casting spells."

"We can't tell who is hurting Harry and who is protecting him."

"You can certainly make your own judgments, but judgments cannot be used as evidence. Yet, you broke Professor Snape's nose."

"So, let's just pretend this never happened, understand?"

Neville nodded. It was not that he was completely unaware of adaptability. What he needed was a reason that was strong enough and just, so he could make concessions for this.

"Come on, let's go back to our stands and wait for Harry's victory."

Dolly finally smiled, and Ron also laughed heartily. They pulled Neville away from here as fast as they could, and returned to the Gryffindor stands to cheer with everyone.

Dolly and the other two walked slowly, turning their heads to look at Harry's performance while calming themselves down.

"Dolly, you don't seem very happy?"

Qiu Zhang calmed down and noticed Dolly's emotions.

Dolly believed that Quirrell had cast the Imperius Curse on her. Now that Quirrell had lost his parents, although she couldn't completely take revenge on Quirrell, she should at least be happy.

Dolly smiled slightly and hooked her arms around Cho Chang and Hermione, debating whether or not she should tell them about this as they walked.

Finally, she made a decision and said, "After the game is over, let's go back to the dormitory and I'll tell you everything."

On the other side, Professor Snape witnessed Madam Pomfrey's treatment of Quirrell under Madam Pomfrey's dissatisfied gaze.

He checked Quirrell's whole body on the way here. Apart from some dirty stains and a strange smell of garlic, there was nothing strange about Quirrell's body.

This was completely contrary to Snape's expectations. He thought he could at least find some flaws in Quirrell, but in fact he didn't.

Even Snape had used Legilimency to search Quirrell, who looked dispirited and almost dead, but still got nothing.

Unless he used Veritaserum again, there was nothing Snape could do to Quirrell.

"Well, Professor Snape, I know you're worried about Professor Quirrell's safety, but he's really okay."

"All he needs is a good night's sleep and some relaxation, or are you planning on staying here with him the whole time?"

Snape finally shook his head and left without saying a word.

Malfoy was still waiting for him to deal with. Although he knew that Malfoy did not have the courage to attack Quirrell, he knew that it was probably Dolly who did it even though he had not seen the person involved.
