But now, combined with what Olivia said, Dolly also felt a chill run down her spine.

Perhaps the world is more troublesome than she realizes?

"As for why I came into contact with this door, it's because I was studying the sounds behind it and was inadvertently seduced by the door, so I reached out half my hand."

"Fortunately, a colleague pulled me back at the time, but I started acting strangely after that."

Olivia revealed her left hand, removed her glove, and a pale, bony hand appeared before Dolly and Cho Chang.

If that were all, Dolly and Cho Chang wouldn't be surprised.

For wizards in the magical world, pale bones are nothing but child's play.

But this hand seems to be constantly changing.

Sometimes dry, sometimes plump, even the size and left and right seem to be changing, making people dizzy after looking at it for a while.

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

It was only then that Dolly noticed that the glove seemed to be made of dragon skin, with intricate patterns woven in dense silver thread that now appeared to be some kind of writing.

"That's all I've been through."

"I have been trying to break the curse of this magic for so many years, but I have never been able to."

"I'd like to know about your experience. Perhaps we can break this curse together. What do you think?"

The topic finally shifted to her, and although Dolly was mentally prepared, her heart still skipped a beat.

Miss Men was her greatest support and reliance. Revealing Miss Men's existence would mean that she might even lose the secret of being a time traveler.

Moreover, the fact that she is a Muggle will most likely be exposed, and if this is leaked, it will probably cause a huge uproar in the entire wizarding world.

Muggles are Muggles, and wizards are wizards.

Even if a Squib is born into a wizarding family, they have no human rights in the magical world, which shows how much wizards despise Muggles who cannot use magic.

This disdain has nothing to do with pure-blood theory. Wizards who can use magic are considered to have superhuman power. Only a very high sense of morality or the coercion of law can prevent wizards from casting spells on Muggles.

Now that Dolly has broken this boundary, it's enough to cause panic among most wizards.

Dolly pondered all of this, while Olivia and Cho Chang looked at her expectantly, but Dolly could only remain silent.

A hint of melancholy gradually appeared in Cho Chang's eyes. Seeing her disappointed expression, Dolly's lips moved, and she finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I've never actually seen what you call a door."

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

"Dumbledore told me it was just a strong burst of magic, and before that I had just gone to the zoo."

"So I can't tell you about the door, but I can tell you about what's going on with me."

So Dolly then focused on the parts of what had happened to her that were observable to outsiders.

This is the story of Dolly's visible sacrifice while facing enemies, and the Life Stone that was born because of Dolly.

Finally, Dolly even took out the Life Gem for Olivia to admire.

That's all Dolly can do.

As for the secrets concerning Miss Door, Dolly couldn't reveal them, not even to Cho Chang, and even if the Dursleys came.

Otherwise, everyone might face annihilation, and even Dumbledore might not be able to protect them.

It's important to know that Dumbledore personally killed Grindelwald, and what Grindelwald wanted to do was to let wizards rule over Muggles.

In other words, Dumbledore was already the most steadfast supporter and advocate of the Wizarding Secrets Act, regardless of whether he was truly committed to it in his heart.

He can even kill the person he loves, let alone Dolly and Dumbledore who aren't actually that close.

Qiu Zhang's eyes brightened; at least in her opinion, Dolly had told her everything.

Olivia stared intently at the Life Gem that Dolly had taken out, then suddenly spoke up, saying, "Could I borrow one of these gems?"

“I will have Zhang make it up to you as much as possible. I can even teach you all the magic I know, including the kind you can’t learn at school.”

"Of course you can, but I don't know how to divide it, or whether it's even possible to divide it."

Dolly hesitated before speaking, as the way they used the Life Gem was still quite primitive.

But Olivia laughed and said, "Leave this to me."

She then rummaged through drawers and cabinets, finally pulling out a rusty, short-handled, long-bladed sickle from a corner, saying, "This should do."

"This is?"

Dolly looked on with suspicion, but Olivia said, "Actually, I don't know either. Like I said, I can also lose my memory."

"I don't know when it got into the corner of the room. I probably got it from someone through some means, but I really don't know what it's for."

"However, what I do know is that it cuts inanimate objects like an ordinary scythe, but it is extremely sharp when cutting magical items."

As he spoke, Olivia took out a silver plate, then ran a sickle across it, and the silver plate split in two in the next second, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Dolly was startled, and then looked seriously at the scythe in front of her again, where a series of words appeared once more.

[Scythe: Cutting Spell Lv.6, Solidification Spell Lv.6, Instant Stop Spell Lv.6.]

and many more?

Dolly pinched the bridge of her nose. "Stop the curse?"

Combining the Curse Stop spell with other spells—what an amazing feat!

The purpose of suspending classes under the spell is to prevent the spell from taking effect, but the scythe in front of us has actually combined these three spells together... It's truly amazing.

"Can I try it?"

"Naturally."

Dolly asked curiously, and Olivia readily handed her the scythe.

Dolly then took out her mithril round shield and gently sliced ​​it with her scythe, creating a smooth cut.

Dolly finally understood the magic behind the sickle's construction.

These three spells were cleverly nested together and mutually restrained each other, to the point that the scythe could barely cut a piece of paper.

However, if it cuts a magical object, the power of the spell will turn outward to fight against external magical forces.

At this moment, the power of the cutting spell begins to manifest, making the scythe incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through even mithril equipment.

There aren't many things that can amaze Dolly, but this scythe in front of her is definitely one of them, even more surprising than the Invisibility Cloak.

After all, Dolly had already guessed the structure of the Invisibility Cloak, but the scythe in front of her contained countless ingenious ideas.

"You seem to really like it, so how about I just give it to you?"

Olivia spoke up readily, which made Dolly feel embarrassed.

Qiu Zhang chimed in, saying, "If Mother hadn't taken it out, I wouldn't have even known it existed. Clearly, it's of no use to Mother."

"And with you, I think you might find it useful, after all, we..."

Cho Chang didn't finish her sentence, but Dolly already understood that she meant everyone was facing an increasingly dangerous situation.

Dolly couldn't help but wonder if she could use the scythe to cut up a Dementor.

Although Dolly thought it was unlikely, she still couldn't get enough of it just because it could even break through mithril equipment.

"Then I won't be polite."

Dolly smiled shyly, after all, there's a saying that one should not refuse a gift from an elder.

Dolly then looked at her Life Stone. She had been somewhat reluctant before, but out of respect for Cho Chang, she wouldn't hesitate to give Olivia a portion.

Dolly is now completely convinced. As expected of Cho Chang's mother, she is just like Cho Chang in terms of generosity when it comes to giving gifts.

Dolly then swung her scythe and sliced ​​off about a third of the Life Gem.

Strangely enough, the separated Life Gems seemed to melt, each melting back into an oval shape, instead of shattering directly or leaking magic as Dolly had imagined.

This put Dolly at ease, and she handed over a small portion of the gems to Olivia.

Olivia took it with her normal hand, as if it were a treasure, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips. She said, "Cho Chang, you take Miss Dursley to dinner. I need to continue my research."

Qiu Zhang nodded and took Dolly's hand.

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

"I don't need to, after all, I might cause a riot."

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

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

Although the people here are wary of Olivia, Olivia certainly won't have to worry about food and drink.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Dolly put away the Life Gem and left chatting and laughing with Cho Chang.

After they left, Olivia eagerly took off her gloves and grasped the Life Gem with her withered hands.

In just a moment, the gemstone turned into fragments.

Olivia's hand has returned to normal, and she even looks younger overall.

But neither Dolly nor Cho Chang will be able to see any of this.

Chapter 267 The two became a couple.

The two left the lifeless mansion, and the atmosphere visibly lightened.

They smiled at each other, and Cho Chang warmly took Dolly's arm, then said, "Where shall we go? Eat in town, or go straight to Diagon Alley, or go back to London to a Muggle restaurant?"

"Of course, I'll go back to London."

Dolly gave the answer without even thinking.

Although Dolly could understand the townspeople's fear of the Cho Chang family, she didn't want to be looked down upon by them.

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