The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Ron gaped in surprise, never expecting Neville to say something like that.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "No, this won't do, this won't do!"

His face slowly turned red, and he said, "You have indeed caused us trouble, but... how can we let you be punished alone?"

“Consider it as Harry and I taking the punishment for you. The three of us will go help Hagrid together.”

"Besides, we just did him such a big favor, he wouldn't make things difficult for us."

After saying that, Ron scratched his head, while Neville laughed happily.

This made Ron feel much better, and he quickly looked at Harry and said, "What do you think?"

Harry looked at his two friends, grinned, and said, "Of course we'll go play... cough, go work together."

"Hey Ron, Neville, this is a perfectly legitimate opportunity to go to Hagrid's place tonight. Do you really think this is punishment?"

Ron's eyes lit up, and he even revealed a malicious smile, saying, "Malfoy is going too."

"There's only one of him, but we have three."

Neville chuckled good-naturedly and said, "No, actually there are five, plus Hagrid and Tooth."

The three of them looked at each other with mischievous grins.

Then the three of them looked at Malfoy in the distance, who was staring at them angrily. A bead of cold sweat immediately rolled down their foreheads, and they turned their gaze away.

This made Harry and his two friends laugh even harder.

After the three young wizards returned to their seats to eat and drink, Hermione finally spoke up, saying, "You really have a way with things. I had absolutely no idea how to communicate with Neville's personality."

"Actually, you and most people aren't very good at communicating, are you?"

Qiu Zhang, upon hearing this, made a joke from the side.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Cho Chang, feigning annoyance, then readily admitted, "Indeed, after all, they should have come to me first, shouldn't they?"

“If I had time, I would rather spend it on Dolly and studying than on pointless conversations.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhang seemed somewhat disappointed and said, "Am I not included?"

Hermione knew Cho Chang was joking and laughed, saying, "Your initiative in coming to me doesn't count."

"As long as we talk about Dolly, it's not a waste of time."

Cho Chang handed Hermione and Dolly a piece of melon each, and continued to complain, "You really are powerful enough to be ruthless, Miss Dursley."

"Haven't you ever considered what would happen if you and Dolly had a falling out one day?"

Hermione said confidently, "That kind of thing will never happen again."

While eating melon, Dolly said, "Actually, Neville is the easiest person to get along with."

"There's no need to consider the other person's feelings or pretend; just treat them sincerely."

“From this perspective, I think he should have gone to Hufflepuff.”

Hermione shrugged and said, "The Sorting Ceremony wasn't actually that accurate, we all know that now."

"Yes, this year is almost over."

Qiu Zhang sighed and said, "I wonder if there will be any interesting new students next year."

Now it was Hermione's turn to tease Cho Chang, saying, "Do you want to find another cute junior to be your friend?"

Qiu Zhang smiled and said jokingly, "No, Dori is enough for me."

Dolly, however, was thinking of Luna, who would be starting school next year.

Luna is undoubtedly another exceptionally well-developed character, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her ethereal and even bizarre personality.

Luna undoubtedly experienced a period of bullying in Ravenclaw.

Although Ravenclaw prides itself on being the most open and accommodating of eccentrics, allowing them to freely explore and conduct research within Ravenclaw.

But Luna is among the weirdest of the weirdos, to the point that people around her simply cannot understand her or empathize with her.

It's no wonder that the young wizards felt repulsed by such an oddball and took action against him.

Of course, while I understand, Dolly would never agree with such a thing.

Next year, Dolly must rescue Luna from the bullying atmosphere as soon as possible.

Even if I can't become good friends with Luna, I should at least make Luna's campus life a little easier.

As for why Dolly felt she couldn't be good friends with Luna, it was because although Dolly could guarantee that she would treat Luna sincerely.

But if she can't connect with Luna, she won't understand anything Luna says, and naturally, they can't become friends.

Just like Hermione and Luna's relationship, they certainly don't hate each other.

However, asking Hermione, who is intelligent and logical, to communicate with Cho Chang would undoubtedly be a torment for her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Dolly was startled when Hermione's words suddenly reached her ears.

She felt a pang of guilt, which only made Hermione more suspicious. She asked, "You're not thinking of sneaking off to the Room of Requirement, are you?"

"Dolly, you just promised you'd study hard!"

Dolly quickly gestured with her mouth towards Harry and said, "It's about my brother. I'm worried he might be in danger with Hagrid."

"Hagrid may be unreliable, but surely he wouldn't let Harry and the others get into danger?"

Cho Chang, of course, also knew about the dragon, and said, "Harry just did Hagrid a great favor; Hagrid should be thanking Harry."

“That being said,” Dolly shrugged, “the danger Hagrid posed to the young wizards was not necessarily intentional on his part.”

"It's as if he still thinks that the fire dragon that poisoned Ron with one bite was a cute little pet."

Qiu Zhang nodded seriously and said, "The reasons are very valid."

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Qiu Zhang went back to training.

Dolly, Hermione, and Harry went straight to Hagrid's hut.

Dolly brought a few people with her; Harry hadn't wanted to see Hagrid at this time.

Otherwise, if Hagrid found out they were being punished for transporting the fire dragon, he would definitely treat them well.

Hagrid's hospitality was nothing short of torture for the young wizards.

And that was indeed the case; Hagrid even wanted to cut pies for everyone.

In the end, everyone used the excuse that they had just eaten dinner to brush it off.

"Hagrid, how will you carry out Professor McGonagall's orders?"

After Hagrid sat down, Dolly didn't stand on ceremony and explained her purpose.

"We can't possibly take them into the Forbidden Forest, can we?"

Harry's eyes lit up as soon as Dolly finished speaking.

That's a forbidden forest!

For young wizards, adventure itself means excitement and fun, and even Ron wouldn't refuse an adventure.

Of course, Harry would never have entered the Forbidden Forest if he were alone.

But now that Hagrid is with him, what is there to be afraid of?

But Ron's eyes widened in horror. Coming to Hagrid's cabin and going to the Forbidden Forest were not the same thing!

The Forbidden Forest is home to many dangerous creatures, and Ron hates spiders the most, so there must be a lot of spiders in the Forbidden Forest!

Neville was just as nervous, but didn't say much.

Because he knew that this punishment was a consequence of his honesty.

If both Harry and Ron are afraid to go to the Forbidden Forest, then even if he is terrified, he must take on the responsibility alone.

"Of course, my job is to patrol the forbidden forest..."

Hagrid spoke matter-of-factly, but under Dolly's unforgiving gaze, his tone gradually softened.

He wasn't really stupid, he just lacked the common sense of a young wizard.

When someone reminded him, and since it didn't involve anything he particularly liked, Hagrid wasn't entirely deaf to advice.

For example, now that he understands, he says, "Not going to the Forbidden Forest... isn't necessarily a bad thing."

“I can go by myself with Toothpick, and leave Harry and the others here to keep watch… What do you think, Dolly?”

Dolly then smiled slightly and said, "That's acceptable."

"But why can't we go? Is there some danger in the Forbidden Forest lately?"

Dolly asked casually, and Hagrid, relaxed, replied casually, "Actually, there's no danger. The animals in the Forbidden Forest won't easily harm young wizards; that's something I agreed upon with them."

"Of course, many places still don't welcome wizards, and with the addition of some poisonous insects and herbs, it's really not suitable for you to go in right now."

"Besides that, there's nothing else... uh."

As Hagrid spoke, his expression changed slightly, as he suddenly remembered something.

Should we tell a few of the young wizards about the unicorn's death?

Forget it, there's no point in bringing this up except to scare them.

"Apart from that, everything is safe."

Hagrid gave a thumbs up, but Dolly, seeing Hagrid's shifty eyes, knew that the unicorn was still dead.

This is a bit strange.

If Snape had kept an eye on Quirrell, Quirrell would no longer have Voldemort on him, but Voldemort still came and stole the unicorn's blood.

Did Voldemort find a new scapegoat?

If that's the case, things become much more complicated.

Because at least for now, Dolly hasn't noticed any obvious changes in any of the unlucky guys at Hogwarts.

This means that Voldemort is now hidden in the shadows, making him even more difficult to find.

This guy is like a rat in a sewer now.
