The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

However, Dolly said, "Well then, it seems we'll have to rely on our wands to solve this."

Then he pulled Hermione inside the carriage to find the spot Hermione had chosen beforehand.

Hermione, on the other hand, was slightly disappointed but also believed that Dolly was just mentioning it casually.

If Dolly is determined to do something, she won't give up so easily.

Just like when people are going home for the holidays, there aren't many people in the train carriage.

So Hermione and Dolly occupied a private room and started chatting about their summer experiences.

Even Hermione, who is generally not interested in major issues such as international politics, took the initiative to talk about the news of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which shows how great the impact of this event was on the world.

However, Dolly knew very well that if they didn't get involved, the news would soon fade from people's minds like any other gossip.

Only those who understand the key aspects will realize how profoundly this event will affect the political and economic landscape of humanity as a whole, and even the lives of every individual.

Of course, for Dolly and others who are still studying in the magical world, the impact of this event will inevitably be smaller.

Especially now, after Dolly helped Gringotts resolve the crisis, probably no more than ten people in the entire wizarding world know about this.

The two chatted for a while, and then Qiu Zhang arrived.

She smiled, and her expression became much more lively.

When she spotted Dolly and Hermione's private room, she waved enthusiastically and then walked right in.

"Have you really not considered sharing a private room with your classmates?"

Hermione wasn't mocking Cho Chang; she genuinely didn't understand. Surely Cho Chang couldn't be ostracized by his classmates?

Logically speaking, Cho Chang should have been surrounded by a lot of people, not just his classmates, but also girls and even boys who liked Quidditch.

Cho Chang handed Hermione a paper package while smiling and saying, "Since they are my classmates, we can naturally see each other every day, so why rush things?"

"What's more, I've also prepared gifts for you."

Hermione took the paper package, feeling the warmth and sweetness inside, and realized that it was freshly made food.

Bringing a personal gift was undoubtedly a good, unassailable reason, so Hermione naturally couldn't say anything more.

She opened the paper package and found some steaming hot twisted dough sticks sprinkled with white sugar and sesame seeds. The perfect combination of sugar, carbohydrates, and oil immediately whetted her appetite.

Dolly also got her share, and as soon as she received it, she couldn't wait to start eating it.

Although the taste wasn't quite authentic, the blissful feeling, almost like the revival of memories from a past life, made Dolly practically glow.

In other words, their worldviews don't align; otherwise, Dolly would have at least had her clothes ripped off as a sign of respect.

After feeding the two of them, Qiu Zhang sat down next to Dolly as if it were his own business and gave her a hug.

While Hermione was eating with her head down, she gently sniffed Dolly's scent.

When Qiu Zhang smelled a similar scent on Dolly, his expression turned to surprise, but then his cheeks flushed crimson.

"what are you doing?"

Hermione looked over curiously, sniffing the air at the same time.

Then, puzzled, he asked, "Why do you all smell so similar?"

Dolly nearly threw the Muggle she was holding, while Cho Chang laughed and said, "During the holidays, Dolly asked me what scented toiletries I was using, and I told her. It seems she likes them too."

"Would you like to listen to my recommendation as well? I'm very confident in this area."

Hermione gave a slightly disgusted look and said, "No need, I don't really like the feeling of wearing the same clothes as someone else, and of course the scent is the same too."

"Dolly, you should have your own style too."

Dolly was about to nod, but she felt that Cho Chang was holding her a little too tightly.

What does this mean? Does it mean she should keep the same scent as Akiharu?

Although the suggestion was very tempting, Dolly eventually nodded and agreed, saying, "That makes sense."

This wasn't because she succumbed to Hermione's loud voice, but because Dolly genuinely felt that the three girls should each have their own distinct characteristics, including their shared scent.

"Akira, do you have any other alternatives, the kind that suits me?"

Then, Dolly turned to look at Cho Chang and handed him the Muggle she had been biting.

The slight emotion on Qiu Zhang's face vanished instantly. After taking a bite with a cheerful smile, he said, "I also know some lighter flavors that I think would suit you better."

"I will write down the detailed information for you later."

Dolly nodded and continued eating her twisted dough sticks in peace.

Hermione looked left and right, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so she quickly finished off her food.

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief; this ordeal was finally over.

For the rest of the journey, almost nothing happened.

However, Harry and his friends, as well as Cho Chang's classmates and fans, came to play for a while.

No one stayed for too long. After all, the atmosphere in the private room was too intense, and no one wanted to be under pressure and be watched by others.

This isn't just about Hermione, it also includes Cho Chang.

Harry was one thing; although he wasn't familiar with Cho Chang, Cho Chang knew he was Dolly's brother and could be polite to him enough.

But when it came to Ron and Neville, they never found Cho Chang to be easy to get along with; to be precise, they had absolutely nothing in common.

Dolly also noticed the problem.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Cho Chang was a wizard from a Muggle family. Although he had a witch mother, he clearly spent more time in the Muggle world with his father.

In addition, since they are from different colleges, their personalities and genders are different, so the only topic they can talk about is Quidditch.

But Quidditch can't be discussed every time, especially since Harry and Cho Chang haven't settled their Quidditch match yet.

What if we talk too much about Quidditch and accidentally reveal our tactical plans?

In the end, it was the three girls who talked until the very end.

They could even chat about what clothing styles were currently popular in London, a topic clearly beyond the reach of young wizards.

The train arrived in the evening.

Although taking a train does not require physical exertion, it does require mental effort.

After a fairly lavish dinner, everyone returned to their dormitories and prepared to wash up and go to bed early.

"Are you really not going to shower with me?"

Dolly opened the bathroom door, leaned to the side, revealing half of her smooth collarbone, and her golden hair hung down naturally, swaying slightly, seemingly glowing.

Hermione pursed her lips, then tossed Crookshanks to Dolly, saying, "Since you like bathing with other people so much, why don't you bathe the cat while you're at it?"

Dolly hugged Crookshank, who was trying to escape, and looked at him struggling frantically, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible."

He then closed the door, leaving only Crookshan's screams.

Hermione bit her lip, recalling the perfect, jade-like look in Dolly's eyes when she bent over.

Although she had seen parts of Dolly's body more than once before when Dolly was disheveled.

But this is the first time I've seen the whole thing like this.

Hermione had to admit that Dolly was really beautiful. Even though she hadn't started developing yet, the texture of her skin and the beauty of her bone structure definitely surpassed her by a lot.

This made Hermione lift her collar to look at herself, then cover her face and lie down on the bed.

Showering together or something like that is out of the question.

Hermione worried that if the two of them actually took a bath together, she would look far too ugly compared to Dolly.

Hermione is essentially someone with low self-esteem, or rather, someone with a highly sensitive sense of self-esteem.

After worrying for a while, Hermione suddenly thought of something.

She then took out her second-year Potions textbook and began reading. Perhaps in the magical world, there was some way to bring her and Dolly closer together?

And so, amidst Crookshanks's discontented frantic running around the house, Dolly and Hermione drifted off to sleep.

The almost monotonous study time returned to Hogwarts.

According to Dolly's memory, nothing major should have happened at Hogwarts in the next four months, at least there was almost no news about Voldemort.

Of course, Voldemort's current actions should be different from the original story.

After all, after Dolly ambushed Quirrell that day and set off fireworks over his head, all that was under Quirrell's turban was a bald head covered in moss, with no trace of Voldemort at all.

However, there's no need to worry to the point of being constantly on edge.

After being separated from Quirrell, Voldemort's threat was reduced, and even his ability to move freely became a huge problem.

Therefore, for Dolly, the most dangerous person is actually Quirrell.

To defeat Quirrell, you naturally need to continue accumulating attribute points.

By the end of January, Dolly had finally accumulated 20 attribute points.

Looking at those 20 attribute points, Dolly felt like crying.

These 20 points could have been used to enhance the silver shield in my hand, enough to turn it into a legendary anti-magic weapon, but for now they can only be used to increase magic power.

Dolly was already a little reluctant to part with it.

However, she knew very well that magic was fundamental and an attribute that had to be upgraded.

Otherwise, with Dolly's current abilities, she might be able to deal with ordinary dark wizards, but she would struggle against the Death Eaters' Unforgivable Curse and the combined attack of a group of wizards.

Dolly probably isn't much stronger than an ordinary person, since magic is versatile and can't handle all situations when fighting with her body.

After all, Dolly's melee ability isn't at the point where she can overcome all attacks with sheer force; to reach that level, she would also need to break through the attribute limit.

Then we might as well continue using magic.

On a quiet night, at midnight, Dolly sat on her bed, preparing to enhance her magic.

Last time she enhanced her magic, it attracted Dumbledore; I wonder if it will trigger some other special reaction this time.

It shouldn't be... right?

If that really happens, then Sori will accept it.
