The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

When Cho Chang saw this, he looked somewhat surprised, and then he noticed that Dolly and Hermione also had matching items on them.

But she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Great badge, is it proof of your friendship with Dolly, Hermione?"

Hermione said proudly, "Of course, it was Dolly who gave it to me."

To his surprise, Cho Chang was even happier after hearing this answer, saying, "Then congratulations, Hermione, you are still Dolly's best friend."

Hermione was so embarrassed by the praise that she felt ashamed when she thought about the gift she had given Dolly.

Therefore, she did not stop Cho Chang from pulling Dolly to sit down next to her, since she was on Dolly's other side.

It was only then that Harry found an opportunity to come closer and say, "Sister, I have something I want to tell you when I have time later."

"No problem, Harry. I'll come find you after dinner."

Dolly gave Harry an OK sign, and roughly understood why Harry had come to see her.

It's mostly because of the existence of invisibility cloaks.

Next up was an incredibly lavish Christmas feast.

A plump roast turkey, mountains of roast meat and boiled potatoes, platters of delicious sausages, bowls of peas tossed in butter, and dishes of thick, rich meat sauce and cranberry sauce...

The food at Hogwarts was, as always, not particularly refined, but the sheer size of the food was enough to ignite the young wizards' desire to conquer it.

As Dumbledore, wearing a female wizard's hat adorned with flowers, announced the start of the banquet, the entire Great Hall turned into a sea of ​​joy. The professors were even allowed to drink today, and before long, Hagrid, McGonagall, and other professors were flushed and began to chat and laugh in a relaxed manner.

Dolly, after enjoying a few appetizers, also received an unexpected surprise.

A special silver plate appeared in front of her, on which emerged a unique dish: Hainanese chicken rice, an authentic Chinese dish!

Well, at least to the people around Dolly, it looked like Chinese food.

The appearance of Hainanese chicken rice naturally elicited gasps of surprise from everyone except Choo Cheong.

Hermione asked in even greater surprise, "How do you do that? You can eat whatever you want?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because I gave Spot a Christmas present?"

Hermione then realized that she had completely forgotten about this frequently appearing house-elf, or rather, hadn't treated it as a normal human being.

This made Hermione feel a little ashamed, and she quickly asked, "What did you give it? Clothes?"

"No, it's just a piece of candy."

Chapter 100, Part 2, seen in the magic mirror.

Hermione looked on incredulously. Could a single candy really get a house-elf to provide Dory with such special service?

Dolly didn't want Hermione to overthink things, so she said, "I gave Dian Dian Galleons to prepare all the ingredients for me."

"So rather than being special, it's more accurate to say that this is a Christmas gift from Dian Dian to me."

Hermione nodded in understanding.

At the same time, she had some questions in her mind, namely why Dolly only gave the house-elf one candy, and why she didn't give the house-elf something more useful.

After seeing Dian Dian a few times, she had been curious for a long time about why these little creatures, who possessed almost human-like intelligence, wore such simple clothes.

They couldn't even be called clothes, since they were just ordinary tea towels.

Hermione even tried to find information about house-elves, but unfortunately there was very little information about them in any books.

And the young wizards know very little about this—after all, only families with house-elves can explain the ins and outs, provided they are willing to share.

This has resulted in Hermione still not knowing the truth about house-elves.

Dolly knew almost everything, but she didn't want to be the one to tell Hermione all of it.

After all, the truth can sometimes be the sharpest knife, and Hermione is clearly not ready to accept all of this yet.

Afterwards, Dolly used a spoon to share her authentic Chinese food with Hermione and Cho Chang. In such a lively atmosphere, Dolly feeding the two girls didn't seem very noticeable.

This delightful feast lasted for two hours before the students, having eaten and drunk their fill, chose their respective destinations.

Many people chose to have another snowball fight, and Dolly, Hermione, and Cho Chang all participated.

However, they only played for a short while before announcing their departure from the battlefield, making themselves dry and refreshed before the snow on their bodies melted.

Harry and his friends then launched another magical battle, which lasted until everyone was almost frozen solid.

"You're going home tomorrow, what are your plans?"

Dolly, Hermione, and Cho Chang sat in a row, each with a cup of hot cocoa that Dian Dian had prepared for them.

"Maybe we'll go skiing?"

Hermione shrugged and replied, and Cho Chang added, "I should go visit my grandparents."

Dolly nodded. She had originally wanted to ask them if it was possible to meet again during the holidays, but now it seemed that such a thought was too extravagant.

Although it was a joyful experience for the three of them to go out and play in the streets of London, the three-day Christmas holiday was simply too short.

I'll spend these next few days with my parents; it'll also give Harry a happy Christmas.

In the original book, Harry chose to stay at school during the three-day Christmas break, as he didn't want to see the Dursleys and Dudley during the holiday.

But now that he has Dolly as his cousin, Harry would have to be crazy to stay at Hogwarts instead of going home.

Time flew by and evening arrived, bringing another sumptuous feast.

Even though the Gryffindor students had a snowball fight that turned them into ice sculptures, their appetites were noticeably smaller than at noon.

Dolly simply ate a double portion before returning to her dorm with Hermione to rest.

Qiu Zhang didn't come this time because she also needed to pack her things to go home early the next morning.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Dolly yawned and arrived at the agreed location.

It was pitch black all around, and a cold wind was blowing in from outside the castle, making Dolly shiver.

She was all alone this time. Hermione had wanted to come along, but she was worried that something might happen to Dolly.

Dolly refused, citing that she was near Professor McGonagall's office, since it was a private meeting she had arranged with Harry.

Although Dolly didn't think it was necessary to keep the Invisibility Cloak a secret from Hermione, it was, after all, Harry's possession and a family heirloom.

Dolly didn't want Harry to feel that his things might be stolen by the Dursleys.

Similar issues include Harry's estate and property.

In the original story, Vernon was momentarily greedy after hearing about Harry's inheritance, but in the end he didn't ask Harry for a single penny.

Although Dolly thought this was already a very reasonable level of behavior, since Dolly was already there, she figured Vernon's performance might as well be even more perfect.

As long as no flaws are left, the Dursleys will be able to say that Harry was right about his childhood and youth, no matter who evaluates him in the future.

Dolly waited for quite a while, but there seemed to be no sign of Harry appearing.

This made Dolly frown, but then her brow relaxed.

She was actually holding a wand in her hand, which was hidden under her sleeve. With a slight twitch of the wand, an invisible change had already occurred on the ground.

A few seconds later, an unnatural rustling sound came from behind, and Dolly turned her head to look.

A faint shoe print appeared on the originally smooth stone ground—this was because of what Dolly had just done; she had turned the surface of the stone ground into soft sand, but the color remained the same.

This creates an invisible trap around Dolly, who appears to be standing still and doing nothing, waiting for those who think they are safe to take the bait.

And now, this person has clearly taken the bait.

The next second, Dolly's body shot out like lightning. With her 4 points of agility and her peak condition, this punch actually had the aura of a professional boxer.

Even though there was nothing in front of her, she still threw a punch forward, aiming precisely for Harry's face.

Harry, who was still holding his breath and praying that he wouldn't be discovered, finally let out a strange scream as he watched the punch coming straight at his face.

She hastily ripped off her invisibility cloak and said, "Sister, it's me, please don't hit me!"

The punch finally stopped in front of Harry, the force of the blow even ruffling Harry's hair.

This convinced Harry that if that punch really landed, he would definitely lose consciousness on the spot.

Dolly naturally knew it was Harry all along; otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped punching him even if he begged for mercy.

But she still feigned surprise and said, "Harry, what are you doing? Why are you sneaking up on me?"

"You should know that I've been ambushed before, so I'm very sensitive to these kinds of things. If you hadn't reacted in time, you would definitely be unconscious by now."

Harry looked embarrassed and said, "Sister, I just wanted you to see it. Someone gave it to me. I didn't mean to scare you."

Harry then picked up the Invisibility Cloak and showed its opaque side to Dolly.

It was a shimmering silver woven fabric, as if made of water. Dolly placed her hand on it and stroked it, as if her hand were really brushing against the surface of water.

With just one glance, Dolly knew this thing was extraordinary.

Dolly's experience proved true, as its attributes appeared before her eyes. This was the second magical item with inherent attributes to appear before Dolly.

This attribute almost instantly dazzled Dolly.

[Invisibility Cloak, grants self-buffing magic: Illusion Charm lv5, Solidification Charm lv7, Magic Resistance lv5.]

Dolly felt her blood rushing and her head spinning; she wanted to possess the invisibility cloak in front of her.

Dolly doesn't know if it's the so-called Deathly Hallows, nor does she know if it's really the Grim Reaper's Cloak.

But Dolly was certain that even with Miss Door's help, creating something like this would be an incredibly difficult task.

The fact that it has the Magic Resistance LV5 attribute means that this invisibility cloak is made of materials that Dolly cannot understand.

If Dolly were to replace it with the pelt of the Invisible Beast, who knows how many times she would have to break through her limits to reach that level.

In comparison, the level 7 solidification spell is actually more understandable.

Over the long course of time, there will always be wizards skilled enough in a particular spell to cast the most suitable spell on this material.

Although there are still many things that Dolly can't understand, such as how the highest level of magic was used on the anti-magic material?

Kodori didn't dwell on it too much. She wasn't an academic, and besides, it was probably not a problem she could research.

Dolly took a deep breath, released her grip on the Invisibility Cloak, and handed it back to Harry.

"Sister, this is a really amazing gift, isn't it? Who do you think would give it to me? Do you have any ideas?"

Harry was clearly unaware of what had happened. Dolly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and said, "Whoever it is, he must be someone who understands you and thinks highly of you."
