The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

It was already March, and Britain was gradually feeling the warmth.

Several important things also happened during this period.

First, Gringotts completely escaped the crisis and recovered all its cash flow, but at this time the goblins also realized that Russia was not actually that dangerous.

If they hadn't been in such a hurry to withdraw the money back then, they would now be among the capitalists frantically buying up state-owned assets in Russia.

But the fairies didn't regret withdrawing their funds, because they didn't really have the right to regret it.

Who told them to use the Ministry of Magic's employee salaries for short-term financial investments? If the Ministry of Magic found out, it would be a catastrophe for the fairies.

Therefore, even the largest profits are just a last resort for them; they absolutely cannot afford to eat them.

However, this also intensified the fairies' resentment towards the wizard.

Even though it was all "their" gold, they were forced to give up the opportunity to make money under the wizard's coercion, and the wizard and Muggles who mediated the dispute made a fortune from the gold.

Can fairies tolerate this?

But the fairies only intensified their resentment; they didn't take any other substantial action.

The fairies were furious, and Dolly's warning to report the matter to the Ministry of Magic worked. At least now the fairies dare not offend Dolly at all.

Dolly was still a child, and children are usually forgiven easily for their mistakes, but the fairies didn't want to risk their heads.

So much so that the fairies reluctantly gave Mr. Zhang a thousand Galleons to pass on to Dolly as a gift for reconciliation between the two parties.

Friendly reminder: This thousand Galleons will be deducted from Serrano's annual salary for sending the howling letter to Dory.

Mr. Zhang had a look of bewilderment at the time.

A thousand Galleons? Who do you think you are?

However, as a seasoned veteran in the business world, Mr. Zhang did not refuse on the spot, but instead asked the wizard beside him to write a letter to Dolly first.

What if Dolly wants to get along with the fairies?

As expected, Dolly directly refused to accept the offer, stating in her letter that if the fairies wanted to continue cooperating, they should offer more fairy silverware as payment.

Dolly has completely stopped pretending now, because Serrano's roar letter earlier actually made Dolly see through the fairies' bluster and cowardice.

Although the fairies kept saying that one day they would take back all the gold and store it in their own vault.

But centuries of life at Gringotts Wizarding Bank have worn down the ambitions of most goblins; all that remains are empty ambitions and the means to deceive and fool wizards.

If the day ever comes when wizards and fairies go to war, how much fighting power will the fairies, who are used to gold but have also been corrupted by it, still have?

They might wipe out the Ministry of Magic, which they look down on, in an instant.

Faced with such a group of fairies, Dolly naturally stood tall, especially since she now actually had something on the fairies.

Even if the fairies recover all the money, as long as Dolly reports this matter, the fairy leadership will at least undergo a major reshuffle.

As for the possibility that the fairies might kill Dolly to prevent the matter from being exposed, that became impossible after Dolly got Mr. Zhang involved.

At this point, besides Dolly and Mr. Zhang, the people who knew about this included Mr. Charles and two Muggles from other countries who were qualified to know the secrets of the magical world.

Mr. Zhang's wife is a witch, and he can also connect with the magical world in the East. He naturally understands the dangers of magic very well, and knows how to disperse the danger to the greatest extent possible.

If the fairies can make Mr. Zhang and Dolly, along with so many partners and witnesses, disappear at the same time, they can also make the important officials of the Ministry of Magic disappear.

There's no need for them to squat in Gringotts and maintain the goblins' last shred of dignity.

The second thing is that Dolly's prediction for Mr. Zhang came true.

Dolly once wrote a line on the back of his business card that foretold an event.

That event was the signing and entry into force of the European Union Treaty in February, which is the legal basis for the birth of the euro as a currency.

This means that the process of European integration will be greatly accelerated and deepened.

For Mr. Zhang, who specializes in doing business in Europe, this is undoubtedly a strategic opportunity that requires him to adjust his overall direction.

This marks the second time Dolly has demonstrated her prophetic abilities to Mr. Zhang since the Gringotts lightning crisis.

These two presentations also brought Dolly considerable rewards.

Mr. Zhang sent a check for £100 million as compensation for Dolly's two collaborations.

He also stated that he would be paid no less than £50 every time he obtained valuable information from Dolly.

This made Dolly look at her future father-in-law with newfound respect.

She originally thought that a reward of 100,000 or 200,000 pounds was already quite a lot, but she didn't expect the other party to be so generous.

Thinking about the 1000 Galleons the fairies had... forget it, I'll just squeeze the fairy silverware out of the fairies instead.

It's really too difficult to make gold from them.

The third thing was that Cho Chang led the Ravenclaw Quidditch team to a great victory over the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

115 Hermione, the second greatest scientist

Although the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams are sworn enemies, the Gryffindor team has no reason not to learn from the effective tactics created by their opponents.

However, they were also very confident in their Seekers, and the team's broomsticks were a level higher than the Ravenclaw team's.

Theoretically, there was no need to go all in like the Slytherin team did; they only sent one person to distract Cho Chang, and then had Harry go out alone to find the Golden Snitch.

The remaining five players chose to defend the goal, making it extremely difficult for the Ravenclaw team to break through the Gryffindor team's goal in the confined space.

Five whole minutes passed before they finally managed to score a goal.

During this process, neither Cho Chang nor Harry found the Golden Snitch, which is the most normal pace of the game.

With ten people gathered in front of the Ravenclaw team's door, it was a complete mess.

It was only then that Qiu Zhang remembered the good idea that Dolly had given her.

That method would definitely work against Slytherin, but in this situation...

Qiu Zhang ultimately decided to give it a try.

Taking advantage of the momentary lapse in concentration of the player marking her, Qiu Zhang suddenly accelerated, pretending as if she had spotted the golden thief.

Then it flew towards the Gryffindor goal and disappeared into the crowd.

The Gryffindor players who were marking Cho Chang naturally followed immediately, and Harry, not to be outdone, caught up right away.

At least in terms of speed and skill, Harry believed he was no less than Cho Chang.

Moreover, in this competition, he also wants to prove to his sister that he can win, or even win the championship, and then share this joy with her.

Of course, for Harry, this victory couldn't have been won just for Dolly.

It was a victory won for the entire Gryffindor family, and his sister was the only other student from the house who could celebrate with him.

But just as Harry flew near the goal, Wood yelled at him to be careful.

It turned out that one of the Ravenclaw players had thrown his Quaffle in Harry's direction, and Harry was caught off guard and almost got hit on the head by the Quaffle.

He quickly dodged, and was about to express his anger when he heard a gasp from the audience.

Looking back, it turned out that the Quaffle had successfully scored.

Harry's original intention was to follow Cho Chang in search of the Golden Snitch, but the fact that he and two others broke into the area naturally disrupted their own team's defensive formation, giving Ravenclaw a good opportunity to score.

The exclamation turned into a scream the next second, as the Ravenclaw batter also hit the runner toward the Gryffindor goal.

The area in front of the Gryffindor team's goal was already crowded, and then a wandering ball that seemed designed to chase and collide with players appeared, making it impossible for the Gryffindor players to maintain their formation, and they all scattered and fled.

Cho Chang, however, had already dove down and accelerated away from the chaotic environment, even having time to look back at the panicked Gryffindor players and reveal a triumphant smile.

All of this was actually planned by Cho Chang and his teammates in advance. The moment Cho Chang rushed in and disrupted the formation, the Ravenclaw team launched a full-scale attack on their opponents.

Under Wood's command, the Gryffindor team managed to stabilize their formation, but in the ensuing chaos, the Ravenclaw team seized the opportunity to score three goals in quick succession.

Even Harry didn't have time to look for the Golden Snitch; he could only help draw the Blink Dagger's fire and stabilize the situation first.

Meanwhile, Qiu Zhang had already begun rapidly patrolling the competition venue in search of the Golden Snitch, but unfortunately, he still hadn't found it.

Wood then realized that the Ravenclaw team had specifically practiced tactics to help Cho Chang get rid of his defender, and would even take the opportunity to widen the score gap.

So now Gryffindor is left with only two choices.

We can either find a way to crack this new tactic, or if we can't, we'll suffer a slow death, or we can return to the original rhythm of the game and engage in head-to-head offense and defense.

Wood's choice was to abandon marking Cho Chang.

After all, the Ravenclaw team had practiced the tactics countless times. Even if Wood considered himself highly capable, he didn't think they could break through such tactics with just a knowing glance.

Quidditch matches have no pauses, and the opponents won't give them a chance to whisper and discuss tactics.

Moreover, in terms of raw power, they should have been stronger.

Because the whole team had new brooms, Cho Chang's performance was amazing, but Harry's performance was not bad either, and Harry's sweeping seven stars would not be too far behind Nimbus 2001.

The reason Wood decided to learn Slytherin's tactics was that he initially thought Ravenclaw only had one chance of winning against Cho Chang, and that if they could suppress Cho Chang, Gryffindor would be guaranteed to win.

Now Wood's attempt to steal a chicken has backfired, and he is now focusing on actively admitting his mistakes and making corrections.

Soon, Harry was back to his one-on-one matchup with Cho Chang, and the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw teams began a fast-paced offensive battle.

Wood made the right choice this time. Despite the Ravenclaw team's desperate resistance, the score was tied at 60-60 in less than twenty minutes.

If this continues, the Gryffindor team will eventually emerge victorious.

Although the process will be lengthy, with the two sides potentially battling for over an hour, the Gryffindor team is willing to give it their all if they can win.

The spectators in the arena could see clearly that if things continued like this, Ravenclaw would undoubtedly lose unless Cho Chang could catch the Golden Snitch.

They started calling out Qiu Zhang's name, which undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on him.

She tried desperately to find the Golden Snitch, but Harry didn't give her a chance to distance herself, keeping his eyes fixed on her.

Just then, Cho Chang stopped and looked at Harry with curiosity.

Harry was taken aback, wondering what Cho Chang was up to.

"Harry."

Qiu Zhang suddenly spoke, his eyes seemingly filled with doubt, and asked, "Did your sister tell you something?"

"what?"

Harry asked instinctively, even though he knew Cho Chang might be playing a trick.
