The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

For example, sticking out its tongue like Pu Rongrong... well, let's not even go there. Its own owner almost got bitten by another owner when it stuck out its tongue.

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as when he was hunting the red-haired wizard's pet rat.

Why not give it the ability to whip its tail like a whip, so it can wake Dolly up more powerfully!

Dolly, of course, had no idea what Crookshan was thinking. Not getting an answer from Crookshan, she shrugged, thinking the matter was over.

After all, even if the fluffy creatures mutated, they only gained a little more ability to catch mosquitoes. For Dolly, this was just a little more to talk about when chatting with others.

As for dedicating 100% passion to delving into the underlying principles, that's really not suitable for Dolly; she has no such ambition in either of her two lifetimes.

Of course, if these fluffy things become even more bizarre later on, Dolly wouldn't mind handing the matter over to more professional people.

For example, Newt Scamander, who is still alive today.

The protagonist of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie series, the one who personally captured Grindelwald, the author of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" textbook series, and a Hufflepuff who loves magical creatures from the depths of his soul.

Clearly, there was no one more suitable than him, but the current Pu Rongrong was not qualified for him to conduct research.

After playing a game of tossing meat scraps for Pu Rongrong to catch for a while, Hermione finally decided to put Pu Rongrong down.

Although new ways to play with Puffy have been developed, it is still far inferior to a clever guy like Crookshan.

However, Hermione still hopes that one day these little ones can grow even further, until they can earn the Order of Merlin medals for her and Dory.

This way, all the time and effort the two pet owners spent raising them wouldn't have been in vain!

The brief accident added some fun to life, but soon the daily study routine returned.

After gaining 2 points of magic, Dolly's performance in class improved significantly, and some of her commonly used spells even began to break through to level 2.

For example, healing spells.

Although the first breakthrough spell was a healing spell, which sounds like a hellish joke, it was still a delightful thing.

It now seems that she does have a good talent for spells, but it hasn't been shown due to her limited magic power level.

It was definitely the right decision not to go overboard with skill enhancements before; otherwise, those attribute points would have been wasted.

However, even though Dolly's performance in class has improved a lot, it is still incredibly difficult for her to get the points from the professor by talking to Hermione.

Hermione didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was acting even more violently than she had in the first half of the school year.

If Hermione in the first half of the year was simply someone with a positive attitude and an inexhaustible desire to learn...

Now Hermione seems to have truly figured things out, and her performance in various subjects has improved significantly.

As a result, Ravenclaw's House points have widened to more than fifty points ahead of second-place Slytherin.

This was after the professors discovered Hermione was too violent and began to control her grades.

Unless there is absolutely no one else who knows the answer to a question, they will try their best not to let Hermione answer the question, giving her at most one chance per class.

Even Snape began to ignore Dolly's discontent and relentlessly pointed out Hermione's mistakes and deducted points.

However, he dared not be too obvious in the face of the clever Ravenclaws, and tried his best to make each point deduction have a plausible reason.

Unlike how he deducted points from Gryffindor, starting with five points per lesson and going up to an unlimited number if he was in a good mood.

Such news quickly reached the ears of the other professors, and as a consequence, Slytherin suffered severe treatment from them.

While other professors wouldn't deliberately find fault with Slytherin students and deduct points, strictly enforcing rules and regulations is their duty, and even Professor McGonagall wouldn't say much about it.

Under this dynamic balance, Hermione's scoring ability, which is a level ahead, becomes increasingly difficult to suppress.

The professors couldn't really prevent Hermione from answering any questions, as that would be bullying, which was clearly unacceptable to them.

This is also why Ravenclaw's grades have gradually widened the gap with other houses.

The other three houses, relying solely on classroom scores, are almost certain to lose the House Cup to Ravenclaw.

They all turned their attention to the Quidditch Cup, since winning a Quidditch match would also add a lot of points and even give them a chance to turn the tide.

This has led to a sharp increase in the importance of the Quidditch Cup, and while Quidditch matches have become more exciting, they have also become more dangerous.

However, young people are at an age where they are full of passion and enthusiasm, and danger may actually be an attractive factor for them, especially when they see others facing danger.

Even Dolly was no exception; seeing Akio Cho race on the field was a pleasure for her as well.

However, this relaxed atmosphere did not last long. The Ravenclaw team's match against the Slytherin team left Dolly on the edge of her seat.

Compared to Hufflepuff, Slytherins have even less of a bottom line.

The Slytherin team initially deployed three players to guard the door, while the remaining four engaged Cho Chang in a pincer attack.

He used his hands, feet, brooms, and even baseball bats, as if he wanted to knock Qiu Zhang off the broom.

Madame Hodge couldn't stop them, and at least not until they succeeded, she couldn't rule that they had committed a foul.

But if they actually succeed, given their underhanded tactics and Qiu Zhang's physical condition, Qiu Zhang might be sidelined for today's match.

Realizing this, Qiu Zhang was inevitably frightened and chose to keep maneuvering with them in the sky, eventually having to give up the search for the Golden Snitch altogether.

The rest of the Ravenclaw team continued their previous strategy, attempting to score goals to widen the gap and secure victory.

The remaining three members of the Slytherin team were forced to risk fractures by using their bodies to catch the ball, desperately trying to stop Ravenclaw's offensive, but they were still conceding at least three goals per minute on average.

In terms of offensive efficiency, Ravenclaw, with its high intelligence, is no worse than any other house.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Ravenclaw's side this time. In less than five minutes, the Slytherin Seeker found the Golden Snitch and caught it.

Slytherin immediately scored 150 points, winning the match by a narrow margin of 10 points.

After the match, the Slytherin team members said that Cho Chang was nothing special, and that they would use the same method again next time to completely shut him down.

But it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this method is actually a gamble, because finding the Golden Thief is no easy task, and normally five minutes is far from enough.

On the other hand, with six against three in front of the Slytherin goal, it would be a disservice to their professionalism if the Ravenclaw team couldn't score 150 points within five minutes.

In short, no matter how you look at it, this matter cannot be considered Qiu Zhang's responsibility, and no one, from the players to the audience, complained about Qiu Zhang's performance.

However, the loss in the match greatly damaged Qiu Zhang's confidence, after all, this was only Qiu Zhang's second match, and she had won the last match so elegantly and beautifully.

Dolly could only comfort Cho Chang, saying that when luck comes, no one can stop it, especially in Quidditch, a sport where the Golden Snitch could very well kill the game.

At the same time, Dolly gave Cho Chang an idea, and upon hearing it, Cho Chang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he looked at Dolly with delight.

Then he said earnestly, "Next time this happens, I will definitely do as you say and help you win again."

Hermione, who had been watching the whole thing, asked curiously what the idea was.

Dolly, on the other hand, chose to keep it a secret, reserving it for when Cho Chang would appear again to deal with his opponent.

Hermione was a little unhappy, but since it concerned the fate of the academy, she obediently accepted the fact that Dolly and Cho Chang kept a little secret, and then said, "So next month our opponent..."

"It's Gryffindor."

Qiu Zhang answered without hesitation, a hint of anticipation on his lips, while Dolly immediately thought of her adopted younger brother.

Perhaps this time, it's Harry who won't be able to laugh.

With the competition next month still a long way off, daily school life has returned to normal.

On an ordinary Wednesday, what Dolly had been waiting for finally arrived.

That is, the complete power supply equipment that can power a shelter was finally delivered to Hogwarts.

This includes, but is not limited to, generators, battery packs, inverters, and a whole host of wires, sockets, and other miscellaneous small devices.

These items were difficult for owls to deliver to Hogwarts, so Dolly eventually asked Hans's husband, a wizard named Charles, to transport them from the Muggle world to Hogsmeade by Knight Bus.

Finally, Spot carried it back bit by bit using magic, which almost drove Spot, the house-elf, to the brink of collapse.

These items were temporarily stored in Hagrid's cabin because Dolly didn't plan to move them directly into the dormitory; she wanted to test their functionality beforehand.

It wasn't that she doubted the quality of British-made products, but rather that she vaguely remembered a saying from her previous life: magical magnetic fields could prevent any electrical appliance from functioning properly at Hogwarts.

At this point, Dolly felt it was time to go to the House of Requirement, as only there could she conduct the test with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the fear of Dumbledore discovering something, Dolly would have wanted to see the magic of the Room of Requirement long ago.

Because of Quirrell's attack, Dolly asked Dumbledore to find her a place where she could brew potions.

Finally, Dumbledore revealed the location of the Room of Requirement to Dolly as a Christmas present.

However, Dumbledore did not tell Dolly the name of the Room of Requirement.

Instead, he told Dolly that it was on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the tapestry of the trolls beating Barnabas.

Once Dolly concentrates on thinking about a potions classroom and walks past that wall three times, a very smooth door will appear in the wall, leading to the place he has prepared for her.

Dumbledore clearly hesitated for a while about whether he should tell Dolly about the Room of Requirement.

After all, the Room of Requirement is one of the most mysterious places in Hogwarts, where countless things have happened and countless secrets are buried.

Ultimately, Dumbledore chose a compromise: he only told Dolly how to use one of the Rooms of Requirement, but did not reveal all its secrets.

As for why he did this, or whether it was another kind of test, Dolly was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Once she enters the House of Requirement, she can find an opportunity to brew Bone Essence, thereby further accelerating her attribute point acquisition.

This is what we should be most concerned about.

114 The First House of Requirement

"You really don't need my help?"

Hermione looked at Dolly in surprise, not expecting Dolly to propose that she handle the testing and installation of these electronic devices by herself.

Dolly said seriously, "Aren't you about to start your first round of final exam review? I can't take up your study time."

That's right. Although it's only February and there are still more than four months until the end of the semester, Hermione is already preparing for her final exams.

Don't ask, the only answer is that Hermione needs to review it at least three times.

For a top student like Hermione, not getting a perfect score is a major failure in life.

For Dolly, just passing is enough—and Dolly can't just pass.

He possesses logical abilities and memory that little wizards lack, coupled with a good talent for spells and a fondness for reading magical history and other books as entertainment.

With a bit more of her past life's test-taking experience, Dolly could easily achieve an above-average score.

But if Dolly were to spend all her time striving for a perfect score like Hermione, she might just commit suicide on the spot.

Hermione hesitated.
