The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

If they don't stop soon, Hermione's pajamas will be completely lifted up by Dolly.

"Look how excited you are, it seems like you're alright now."

Hermione touched her cheek, awkwardly straightened her clothes, and rolled her eyes at Dolly.

Dolly lay down on Hermione's bed without any hesitation, briefly explained what had happened, and then said regretfully, "It looks like it will be difficult to watch TV with you this semester."

Hermione replied nonchalantly, "That's a good thing, at least it lets you focus on your studies..."

At this point, Hermione's eyes sharpened. She rolled over and lay face down on the bed, crossed her legs, and pressed her hands on Dolly's shoulders, looking as if she had completely subdued Dolly.

Dolly looked up at her, though their faces were misaligned, making it difficult for them to meet each other's eyes.

But this also made it easier for Dolly to look at Hermione's cute and delicate face, a happy smile playing on her lips.

Under Dolly's admiring gaze, Hermione's fierce demeanor seemed to begin to falter.

But in the end, she mustered up her courage and said, "Anyway, you have to study with me from now on. We only have less than two months left!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"That means our exams start tomorrow!"

Dolly was speechless, but she didn't want to complain now, so she said, "I'll study hard if you want me to, but only if you agree to one thing."

"what's up?"

Hermione frowned and said, "You don't still want me to bathe with you, do you? Why are you so insistent on this?"

Dolly said reproachfully, "How could I possibly be the kind of person who would use such a reason to blackmail you?"

"What are your conditions... And it's strange that I would agree to your conditions when it's clearly something that's good for you to do, yet I'm asking you to study?"

Hermione gave her reason, which seemed irrefutable.

Dolly lazily stretched out her arms and hugged Hermione, who was standing close to her, gently pressing her arms against Hermione's shoulders.

With just a little force from Dolly, Hermione would be pinned down, and their lips would touch.

Fortunately, Dolly has a strong will and is not yet old enough, otherwise she really can't guarantee she could control herself.

Hermione was clearly aware of this as well, realizing that she had been locked onto and controlled by Dolly.

She instinctively wanted to run away, but Dolly didn't give her a chance this time.

However, he didn't actually press Hermione down, as that would have been an indecent act.

Dolly laughed and said, "What you say sounds reasonable, but let's be serious."

"I need to study hard to get a high score."

"Or do you need me to study with you to help you overcome the increasing boredom of studying and alleviate your loneliness?"

"Come on, Hermione, make your choice."

Dolly blinked and smiled sweetly: "If you choose the former, then I'd rather go to the Room of Requirement to study dragon skin."

"After all, I'm a pass-or-fail advocate, and even if I fail in first grade, I don't need to retake the exam, and it won't affect my future school admissions, so..."

Dolly was about to say something about giving up when Hermione angrily covered Dolly's mouth with her hand.

Dolly's lips brushed against Hermione's fingers, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Is this a kind of kiss on Hermione's finger?

However, Dolly quickly made a gesture as if she wanted to say something more, and Hermione simply pressed harder, eventually covering Dolly's lips with her palm.

Then Hermione pinched Dolly's nose with her thumb and fingers, and seeing Dolly's face turn red, she smiled as if she had won a counterattack.

"Why do you always have so many strange and unusual theories?"

"It's not like I'm begging you..."

Although Hermione's tone was defiant, her voice became softer.

She had to admit that she had started to feel lonely lately.

Having already reviewed so many times, Hermione felt she could most likely get a perfect score, and further review would hardly lead to any improvement.

Instead, Hermione has been spending less and less time with Dolly lately, and she even wonders if their friendship has faded.

Now that they finally have a chance to be together again, Hermione doesn't want to let it go.

Perhaps... in some sense, Dolly is right?

Is it really her who needs Dolly?

Hermione was a little agitated, but ultimately she chose not to admit it.

If she admits it, wouldn't that mean her relationship with Dolly is completely reversed?

She was the one taking care of Dolly, so how did it become that she needed Dolly?

This is something that absolutely cannot be admitted!

Hermione let go of Dolly's hand, looked at her with a sigh of relief, and saw her pitiful appearance with tears welling up in her eyes. She smiled and said, "I choose to be your friend and keep an eye on you so that you will take your studies seriously."

“I admit you are certainly capable of passing, but I don’t think your parents would accept this result.”

“If you continue to fob me off like this, I’ll have no choice but to send a letter to the Dursleys.”

Dolly immediately became alert and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Hermione smiled mischievously and said, "Send them a red letter and tell them how to use the roar letter."

You don't need a wand to use a roar letter; all you need to do is open it and type in what you want to say.

In other words, theoretically, Muggles can also use Howl Letters, but most Muggles don't even know how to buy them.

Dolly was horrified, staring at Hermione in front of her, unable to understand why Hermione would come up with such a plan.

Hermione understood Dolly's look and said smugly, "Mrs. Dursley asked me to take good care of you, I just didn't tell you that."

"Come on, Dolly, it's your turn to choose."

"Will you study with me, or should I write a letter and ask the Dursleys to let you study with me?"

Dolly could only submit and humiliatedly cover her face on Hermione's bed.

Hermione let out a victorious laugh, fiddling with and sniffing Dolly's soft hair while pinning Dolly's ankle down with her foot to prevent her from escaping.

Starting tomorrow, Dolly will once again be her closest playmate.

124 First Update: Live Point Map

The next day, Dolly woke up in Hermione's bed.

Although she lost the confrontation.

But then Dolly pretended to be asleep and stayed in Hermione's bed.

Helpless, Hermione couldn't bear to use a spell to drag Dolly over, so she simply held Dolly and slept there all night.

When Dolly woke up in the morning, she could see the watermark on Hermione's face.

Well, although she didn't have specific memories, Dolly knew she had won.

Unfortunately, before Dolly could even enjoy the pleasant morning, Hermione pushed her off the bed, setting her up for a day of arduous studying.

In this sense, Dolly lost again.

She really didn't want to read the textbook again; couldn't she just pass?

With Hermione overseeing her, Dolly clearly has no chance of pursuing that goal anymore.

If Cho Chang hadn't stopped her, Hermione would have even wanted to play a question-and-answer game with Dolly in the lobby: Dolly would only be allowed to eat a bite of food if she answered a question correctly.

This isn't a game, it's torture!

However, something happened soon enough to temporarily interrupt Dolly and Hermione's interaction.

Harry, Harry, and his friends walked over dejectedly, clearly having just been reprimanded.

Dolly couldn't help but ask, "Did Professor McGonagall find out?"

Harry shrugged, while Ron couldn't help but complain, "Professor McGonagall had no evidence, so we could have just kept quiet."

"As a result, Professor McGonagall asked Neville if he was an honest child, and Neville then cried and told her what had happened."

Ron’s tone was full of disdain as he said, “Although Professor McGonagall didn’t deduct any points from us, she punished us by making us do volunteer work for Hagrid.”

"I really don't understand. It's just a matter of making up a reason. Is it really that difficult?"

Neville's eyes were red, his head was down, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Harry listened to Ron's complaints, and although he didn't join in the bashing, he didn't say much either.

Because it was obvious that he also harbored some dissatisfaction.

Although everyone teaches children not to lie from childhood, children will always learn to lie unintentionally.

The reason is simple: adults teach children the skill of lying by example, and children will come to like this skill after they escape punishment by lying.

So in Ron's view, lying to avoid punishment was nothing, especially since they were doing the right thing and had dealt a blow to Malfoy's arrogance.

At most, it would only be a minor violation of school rules and regulations, but if they didn't do it, the consequence might be that Hagrid would be expelled.

How could something like this be wrong?

Dolly was not in a position to comment on the current situation.

Sometimes, people have to choose between their moral principles and the feelings between friends and family.

Neville has now made his own choice, which is in line with his character. Although it may not be likable at the moment, it is a valuable quality in the long run.

So Dolly said, "Neville, I think you're right to stick to your principles."

"But it's true that we've caused trouble for our friends, so why don't we think about how to clean up the mess?"

Neville looked up at Dolly with some surprise. Encouraged by Dolly's gaze, his confusion lessened and was replaced by determination.

He took a deep breath, looked at Ron, and said, "I'm sorry, Ron, it's my fault that you and Harry were punished."

"So from now on, let me do all the volunteer work for Hagrid by myself. I'll finish your share. Can you forgive me for that?"
