Warm and hot at the same time.

Crying and laughing at the same time.

While families reunite, friends gather together.

This is... a little weird.

Even a little too weird.

Whether from an emotional or a visual perspective, Dolly finally couldn't stand the huge difference and covered her face with one hand, forcing herself to face the mirror.

Just think of it as... practicing Occlumency.

With Dolly's persistence and the help of 4 points of willpower, she finally got rid of the influence of the magic mirror temporarily.

It’s not because Dolly can wait to fight against the level 6 telepathy, but because the purpose of making this magic mirror is at least not to harm people with malicious intent.

Although some people will still be addicted to it, Dolly feels that the person who made it should hope that people can leave the mirror by their own strength, so as to break free from the obsession and embrace a new life.

Of course, it's difficult.

Even Dumbledore and Snape couldn't do it. Their lives had already been determined. There was no hope left. All they were waiting for was the salvation called death.

But for Harry and Dolly, this challenge was much simpler.

Because they are still young, and their lives are full of hope.

Instead of seeking redemption from the dead, they can get new happiness from the living and make their life path more perfect.

Just like Dolly, it is entirely possible to make the image in the mirror become reality, although it will take two years, otherwise it will be a crime.

Dolly was very motivated by this. How could she be satisfied with just looking at the beautiful scenery in this mirror?

So does Harry.

Although Harry does not have a clear goal in life now, there are always many interesting things waiting for Harry to experience in reality.

But Harry's parents and relatives in this mirror can only wave, smile and nod. How can they be as interesting as reality?

"Cry, even if you cry here until dawn, it doesn't matter."

"We'll go home when it gets light. You can have a good rest on the train. We'll have a blast in London these few days."

"When you come back, you can come here to see your parents again when you have time, but don't forget your teammates on the Quidditch field, as well as Ron and Neville are still waiting for you."

Harry nodded, wiping away his tears and trying to stop crying.

But soon his efforts failed and he started crying again.

Dolly was not in a hurry and was ready to spend the whole night with Harry.

Anyway, Dolly was also an expert at staying up late in her previous life, and she had much more endurance than Harry, a real little brat.

Sure enough, around five o'clock in the morning, Harry rolled his eyes and fell asleep on the ground.

Dolly also yawned, stretched, and was about to ask Diandian to take Harry home.

As a result, a yawn made Dolly immediately alert.

She looked back and saw a figure flashing in the shadows. Just when she was about to release her wand skill, the person opposite seemed to have noticed Dolly's thoughts and hurried out.

"Good evening, Miss Dursley, or should I say good morning?"

"Professor Dumbledore?"

Dolly looked surprised, but she wasn't really surprised at all.

Even when Dolly appeared here, she realized that Dumbledore was nearby.

The reason is simple. The Mirror of Erised is a dangerous magical item that may harm people's mental state.

This mirror was placed here by Dumbledore and was also a tool he used to test Harry's psychological endurance.

Dumbledore would not hurt Harry, so naturally he would not let Harry face the mirror alone.

If the Mirror of Erised really drove Harry crazy, then all of Dumbledore's plans would be wasted.

Therefore, at least when Harry came to look in the mirror, Dumbledore would be hiding beside Harry and ready to intervene at any time. However, what Dumbledore did not expect was that Dolly also came.

"It's me, Miss Dursley."

There was a warm smile on Dumbledore's face that Dolly had never seen before, or rather a smile that he had never shown to Dolly before.

Although his face was full of fatigue, he looked as happy as if he had found a treasure.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Professor. Can I take this to mean that Harry and I don't need to have our points deducted?"

"Of course, Miss Dursley, I won't spoil the fun by deducting points from students during the holidays."

"Besides, I put this mirror here because I didn't keep it properly. If you want to deduct points, you should deduct them from me first."

Dolly smiled slightly in response to Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore's attitude was very gentle today, it was obviously impossible for Dolly to regard him as a kind old grandfather again just because of his change in attitude.

Dumbledore obviously realized this and knew that Dolly could not be treated as an ordinary child.

He looked at Dolly, and Dolly looked at him fearlessly, as if she had lost her fear of his Legilimency.

This made Dumbledore sigh that Dolly was growing up so fast.

In fact, Dolly was no longer afraid.

Dolly now has 12 attribute points. Although it is still not enough to add a little magic, it is enough for Dolly to increase her willpower from 4 points to 6 points.

With 6 points of willpower, she could definitely resist Dumbledore's Legilimency. At least Dumbledore couldn't read Dolly's mind silently.

Of course, if Dumbledore used a spell, Dolly would definitely not be able to resist it.

But there was no point in worrying about this possibility, because if Dumbledore acted recklessly, Dolly would not be able to resist no matter how hard she tried, so she might as well just lie down.

Obviously, Dumbledore didn't have that idea.

He had to admit that he still couldn't see through Dolly, and even felt a huge sense of insecurity from Dolly.

Dumbledore's biggest worry was whether this instability would disrupt his plans in the future.

In particular, whether Dolly took the initiative to do these things or was simply passively involved is also a key question.

But at least everything he had just seen told Dumbledore that Dolly was an emotional person who could warm other people's hearts.

And for Dumbledore, that was enough.

At least it's enough for now.

So Dumbledore said, "I think you and Mr. Potter must be tired. How about going back to the dormitory to rest?"

"You still have to take the train home tomorrow morning. Although you can catch up on your sleep on the train, at least don't miss the train ride."

"Okay, Professor."

Dolly nodded, and Dumbledore said enthusiastically, "Do you need my help in sending Mr. Potter back?"

"No need, Professor. I can do it myself. He is my brother after all."

"Then you must be careful, Miss Dursley. It's quite a long way from the Gryffindor common room, and our caretaker probably won't let you leave easily."

"Well, I have my own way."

Dolly didn't explain, but used a levitation spell to make Harry float up, and then covered him with the invisibility cloak.

Then Dolly reached into the Invisibility Cloak with her wand, led Harry, and walked calmly past Dumbledore and out of the room.

As if he didn't see the regret on Dumbledore's face.

It was obvious that Dumbledore wanted to show some magical power or do Dolly a favor, but Dolly didn't give Dumbledore any chance.

It was not until Dolly's footsteps disappeared that Dumbledore shook his head, came to the Mirror of Erised, looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and slowly put away the expression on his face.

Who did he see at this moment?

Is it Grindelwald, his sister, or his family? Only Dumbledore himself knows the answer.

As for Dolly, after summoning Diandian, she asked Diandian to take Harry and herself back to the dormitory, and then fell asleep.

That night, Dolly had many dreams, including one about the scene in the mirror.

Unfortunately, everything is just a dream and cannot be realized.

The next morning, Dolly thought so and opened her eyes drowsily, then found that Hermione in front of her had a flushed face and her eyes were a little evasive.

102 Chapter 4 Hello, Father-in-law

This made Dolly alert instantly. What on earth had happened?

Could it be that she was talking in her sleep unconsciously and told what she dreamed about yesterday?

Or maybe you did something you shouldn't have done in your sleep?

Dolly subconsciously looked at her body and found that her school uniform had disappeared and turned into pajamas.

For a moment, Dolly felt the sweetness of the tears in her heart, and it seemed as if alarm bells were flashing above her head.

But at this time, Hermione spoke up, and in a tone of accusation, she asked, "Where did you go last night? Why did you sleep in your school uniform?"

"I wanted to wake you up but failed, so I changed your clothes and covered you with a blanket. You'll catch a cold if you sleep in your school uniform!"

Dolly was speechless for a moment, then touched her cheek awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

Then, Dolly was thinking about how to explain why she sneaked out yesterday.

But Hermione said, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Go get some sleep. I'll pack breakfast for you and we can eat it on the train."

"You can probably get another... two and a half hours of sleep?"

With that, Hermione left the room, her steps still hurried.

This made Dolly look suspicious. She was ready to be taught a lesson by Hermione again.

After all, sneaking out in the middle of the night would definitely cause Hermione's dissatisfaction.

The last time Dolly did this was when she was having a tryst with Qiu Zhang.

Even though Hermione and Qiu Zhang have reconciled, this time Hermione must at least ask what happened, right?

There is weirdness.

It’s so weird!

Unfortunately, Hermione had disappeared, and Dolly had no chance to ask.

By the time Hermione comes back, she will definitely have recovered. It would be extremely difficult to get Hermione to reveal any information in that state.

Dolly then turned her gaze towards Crookshanks, who lay dead on the windowsill, and said, "What happened to her? What did she do to me?"

Crookshanks gave Dolly a lazy look and then began to lick his left paw.

Dolly raised her voice and asked, "I'm asking you a question!"

Crookshanks switched paws and continued licking. He had hinted clearly enough, but he couldn't actually speak, could he?

"Stupid cat."

Dolly sneered at Crookshanks and then chose to fall asleep again. She was indeed very tired.

But in a daze, Dolly licked her lips, feeling that something was missing in her mouth. Could it be Crookshanks' cat paw?

At this time, Hermione had just left the common room.

Because it was still early, few people were up.

After she looked around and found no one around, she pulled her fingers out from under her sleeves, looked at the teeth marks on her index finger, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

She had indeed done something wrong.

When changing Dolly's pajamas, Dolly kept mumbling in her sleep. She didn't speak English and Hermione couldn't understand her.

She tried to close Dolly's lips with her fingers, but Dolly bit her finger and licked it gently.

Hermione was startled at first and tried to pull her hand back, but when she found that Dolly didn't use much force, she became much bolder.
