Hermione then realized what was happening and said worriedly, "Won't our world be engulfed in a world war because of this?"

"They all have nuclear weapons. Will we be affected?"

It's not surprising that Hermione knows about nuclear weapons; after all, she's a top student at a Muggle elementary school and must have read some basic science books.

Dolly took Hermione's hand and put it in her lap, fiddling with her fingers as she said, "It shouldn't be like that. Even if something like that did happen, we can hide at Hogwarts."

"They're not going to use a nuclear bomb to bomb Hogwarts, and they can't find Hogwarts anyway."

Although Dolly said that, she didn't believe Hogwarts would always be safe.

If wizards don't work harder in the face of humanity's ever-evolving technology, they might find themselves trending on the internet without even realizing it.

Of course, that's not something Dolly, the little witch who graduated in 1998, needs to consider. Changing the status quo of the wizarding world is also not within Dolly's current scope of consideration.

"So what do you plan to do? Are you going to help the fairies?"

Qiu Zhang said seriously, "I have a rough idea of ​​what you're going to do, but are the fairies trustworthy?"

"They are loyal enough to me when it comes to gold. As long as I don't steal their gold, they have no reason to betray me."

"Of course, I don't really expect these fairies to be trustworthy; this is just a small experiment of mine."

After everything was explained, Hermione and Cho Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Hermione and Cho Chang, who usually don't care about politics, couldn't help but discuss the Soviet Union with Dolly for a long time.

After only half a day, their interest visibly waned, and the topic of Christmas was much more likely to ignite their enthusiasm.

Dolly also put this important matter out of her mind and started focusing on Christmas.

This Christmas is quite an important holiday in terms of the overall plot.

This Christmas, Harry will receive the Potter family's heirloom invisibility cloak and will also see the Mirror of Erised, a mirror that can grant wishes—actually, it's just a magical artifact that displays a person's wish in a mirror.

Dolly was very interested in the invisibility cloak, mainly because she wanted to see if it had any special properties, and whether the so-called Grim Reaper actually existed.

If given the chance, Dolly would like to see the Mirror of Erised, so that she can use its help to determine what she truly wants.

Dolly knew too much, which naturally made her thoughts more complicated and her desires more numerous.

She just hoped that she wouldn't see anything too vulgar or indescribable in the mirror.

Before we knew it, Christmas Day had arrived.

The next morning, Dolly and Hermione opened their eyes early and immediately saw a pile of gifts beside their bed.

Although both use the quantifier "a lot," Dolly's gifts were far more numerous than Hermione's, to the point that Dolly felt somewhat embarrassed, since she hadn't given out nearly as many gifts.

She'll be busy next Christmas, but she can make up for it with snacks and toys from the Muggle world.

"Merry Christmas, Dolly, you're really popular."

Hermione's tone was a little sour, but she quickly got into the task of unwrapping the gifts.

After wishing Hermione a happy holiday, Dolly got up and excitedly went to the pile of gifts.

This was her first time experiencing a genuine Christmas, and the first time she had received so many gifts. Dolly was naturally very happy.

However, Dolly's attitude quickly diminished, and the vast majority of her gifts were things like candy, which further solidified Dolly's determination to use Muggle items to make up the numbers for her gifts next year.

Things only got interesting when Dolly opened Hermione's gift.

97. At least when you're alone...

Dolly touched the shape of the gift in her hand, and already had a rough guess in her mind.

This is a book, and giving a book as a gift is very much in line with Hermione's style.

However, Dolly still casually asked Hermione, "Hermione, what did you give me?"

However, to Dolly's surprise, this seemingly ordinary question made Hermione jump up as if she had been electrocuted, and even her face turned red.

She said somewhat nervously, "Just look for yourself, don't ask me, I don't know anything."

After saying that, he took some gifts and went to the other side of the bed, separated from Dolly by a bed, and lowered his head, not daring to look in Dolly's direction.

Dolly curiously hugged the book wrapped in colorful paper. What kind of book could make Hermione blush? It was unlikely that Hermione would give Dolly something unsuitable for a young child.

Curiosity began to grow, and Dolly didn't hesitate any longer, quickly tearing open the wrapping paper.

Opening a gift in person is a common practice in Britain, and Dolly was even ready to blurt out that she loved it.

However, when the words on the cover came into view, Dolly still felt a huge sense of chaos wash over her, leaving her completely bewildered.

Know Yourself: Essential Knowledge for a 13-Year-Old Girl

Dolly tilted her head; wasn't she only 11 years old?

Even if we take the upcoming New Year's Day into account, Dolly is only 12 years old. How come she's already being exposed to knowledge meant for 13-year-olds?

Furthermore, why did Hermione give this book to Dolly? Is there something about Dolly that makes her lose sight of herself?

A possibility began to surface in Dolly's mind: could it be...?

Dolly fell silent, unable to understand, while Hermione, sitting on the other side of the bed, couldn't help but look at Dolly across the bed, her face tense and uneasy.

Hermione hesitated for a long time about whether to give the book to him.

Both of her parents were doctors, and although they were dentists, Hermione's mother had no trouble teaching her basic medical and anatomical knowledge.

Hermione initially thought that everyone's level of understanding of such matters was roughly the same, but after the previous experience, Hermione felt that Dolly might not be aware of it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do that kind of thing in class...

Especially Dolly, she's only 11 years old!

For the sake of her friend's physical and mental well-being, Hermione knew that what she was doing was overstepping her bounds, but she couldn't shirk her responsibility.

Just as she had been taking care of Dolly when she was unwell, this was simply part of her care for Dolly, and there was nothing abnormal about it.

Well, that must be the case!

Dolly finally reached out her hand, intending to open the book. This made Hermione finally stop pretending, and she bit her lip as she looked at Dolly, anticipating Dolly's reaction.

She was worried that her actions might give Dolly the wrong impression, since it was something she was embarrassed to talk about, and she didn't mean any harm!

However, in reality, Dolly is mostly in a state of confusion, aside from feeling a little guilty.

Because the cover of this book is actually very simple, with only various blooming flowers under a blue sky, and a 12 or 13-year-old girl standing in the flowers smiling brightly.

Apart from that, the title doesn't provide any clear indication.

Until she opened it, Dolly thought it was a book that taught young girls how to cope with mental health issues.

The moment she opened it, Dolly saw two complete human illustrations.

This is a perspective drawing of a girl's body, including both the inside and outside. Each part has a clear description in small print, and there is even a detailed page number guide at the bottom.

In that instant, Dolly was in a state of utter shock.

It's clear that this isn't the case that led them into a new world of knowledge.

After all, Dolly in her previous life was an adult with a complete knowledge system.

Biology classes, elective education courses, and even the indescribable details of the anime "Orange" were enough for Dolly to clearly understand what parts of a human body are and what their functions are.

She was shocked as to why Hermione had given her this book!

Dolly didn't understand this problem at first, and thought that she had become a girl with psychological problems in Hermione's eyes.

Even before opening the book, Dolly felt a little guilty, worried that it might teach a girl about her own gender.

So, isn't that the same as giving Lily a friend card in disguise?

However, the situation that Dolly feared most did not occur; instead, an even more perplexing situation arose.

What was Hermione thinking when she gave her a book on physiological health?

This made Dolly frantically search her brain, worried that she might have unintentionally done something outrageous... Sticking close to Hermione definitely wouldn't count!

Then she pondered other possible reasons why Hermione had given her the book, but until Dolly's head was spinning, she still hadn't found any answers.

This problem is arguably the biggest challenge Dolly has faced since her time travel.

Its difficulty even surpasses that of dealing with Dumbledore and taking revenge on Voldemort.

Dolly's mouth slowly opened, her eyes began to glaze over, as if she was about to be ruined by this question.

This made Hermione's expression grow increasingly uneasy and tense as she watched all this.

When Dolly simply gave up and leaned back, Hermione couldn't stand it any longer. She quickly rolled off the bed and landed next to Dolly, hugging Dolly's arm.

Dolly, are you alright?

"I'm sorry, I did something unnecessary by giving you something like this..."

Hermione quickly reached out to try to snatch the book from Dolly's hands, but she was no match for Dolly's strength.

With a tug-of-war, the book was placed in front of them, and the two of them pressed together, as if each of them was using one hand to hold the book together and read it.

Dolly snapped out of her daze, looked at Hermione with a resentful gaze, and asked, "Do you think I'm an unhealthy girl?"

"No, absolutely not, that's not what I meant!"

Hermione screamed and threw down the book to hug Dolly tightly.

The warm embrace brought Dolly back to her senses; after all, Hermione rarely hugged her on her own initiative.

But this time, Hermione not only hugged her tightly, wrapping her arms around her lower back, but also gently rubbed her cheek against Dolly's hair, saying, "I'm sorry, I did something wrong!"

“I never thought you were unhealthy in any way. At most, you just… know a little less.”

"I want you to be healthy, I want you to be happy, that's why I did this..."

"Let's end this. I'll burn it now."

Hermione acted immediately after speaking, taking out her wand to start a fire, but Dolly quickly grabbed Hermione's wand and made her stop.

She was even more confused and decided to get to the bottom of it.

After all, this kind of thing could affect her future life, so Dolly couldn't possibly take it lightly.

If Hermione had already realized her feelings and firmly rejected her at this point, Dolly would have had no choice but to keep her distance from Hermione from then on.
