The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Hermione, unable to persuade Dolly, could only agree and watch as Dolly slowly ascended into the air.

The next second, Dolly made a ninety-degree ascent and rushed towards the key at the very top.

She had long noticed that this key was unusual; it was the largest, with sky-blue wings drooping as if it had been used more than once, and she also saw that it was guarded by several other keys.

If this isn't the goal, Dolly might really have to try to force her way through.

As if suddenly brought to life, the key made a nimble turn.

Dolly was caught off guard and nearly bumped into the ceiling—the space here was far too small compared to a Quidditch pitch.

Once the flying broom accelerates, it's like driving a car at 100-200 kilometers per hour in a room; it's hard not to crash and get badly injured.

If we slow down, it will obviously be difficult to grab those keys.

Dolly tried a few more times, but the sky-blue key was already very slow, though the other keys were now helping it.

Dolly tried several times without success, then looked at Hermione on the ground.

Perhaps surrounding them is the best approach.

Hermione realized something too. Although she felt she didn't have the ability to fly, she still gritted her teeth and prepared to get the flying broom.

At that moment, Qiu Zhang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Do you need my help?"

She looked somewhat disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and she had clearly suffered a bit at the Devil's Net.

But looking at her happy face, it was as if she had encountered the most wonderful thing in the world—she could fight alongside Dolly on a flying broomstick.

"Autumn!"

Hermione exclaimed in surprise, genuinely happy to see Cho Chang appear.

"Shouldn't you be waiting for the professors to return in the Forbidden Forest?"

When Hermione asked, Cho Chang replied matter-of-factly, "I got my roommates to help me."

"All four of them got up and stood in different locations in the Forbidden Forest, so they could look after each other and continuously release firework spells to attract the professors back."

"With the four of them around, they're much more useful than me alone. But I think I should still come to you guys, after all... it seems like you can't do without me either."

Hermione was a little unconvinced, but eventually she crossed her arms and admitted, "Well, at least in Quidditch, I'm definitely not as good as you."

Hermione handed the broom to Cho Chang, who had just mounted the flying broom when Hermione seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, how did you get from Fluffy's? It didn't hurt you, did it?"

"Well, I had Spot help me stuff a bunch of meaty bones into it to temporarily distract it, and then it rushed in."

"There might be a little bit of danger."

Cho Chang smiled indifferently, but Hermione was somewhat moved.

Because she had also faced Lou Williams up close and knew what would happen if Lou Williams slapped her with his claws.

She and Dolly at least knew about Lu Wei's weaknesses, but Cho Chang practically barged in.

Was she willing to risk her life for Dolly?

Hermione wanted to say something, but Cho Chang had already taken off.

She went straight for Dolly, and at that moment she smiled more happily than anyone else.

"Dolly, you go left, I'll go right, let's use a spiral advance strategy, okay?"

"Of course, Autumn."

Dolly immediately sprang into action: "After all, I almost became a Quidditch player back then."

131 Puzzle Challenge

The two took off immediately, one on the left, one on the right, one in front and one behind.

Qiu Zhang was undoubtedly the main attacker, the fastest and most agile, and he formed an encirclement.

Dolly followed immediately, and the two of them were about to get close to the key.

He feigned a movement by shaking the key, trying to break free from the two men's encirclement.

But the next second, Qiu Zhang suddenly stopped upside down and reached out her hand towards the key, just like she had caught the golden thief.

However, the key realized that the newcomers were hostile and sped up again, even having the other keys cover for it.

But just then, Hermione's voice rang out.

She used a knockback spell to create an opening, knocking away the remaining keys that were trying to surround her, leaving Dolly an opening.

Dolly, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. She lowered her head, accelerated, and rushed straight toward the key.

The key tried to walk close to the wall, wanting to make Dolly bump into it.

But seeing that the other person's positioning was dangerous, Dolly didn't force it and instead cut off the key's escape route by sticking close to the wall.

By the time Key realized what was happening, Qiu Zhang had already reached out his hand.

This is the spiral approach commonly used in Quidditch. Simply put, it involves two people working together to harass the target in turns, and it is one of the most basic strategies.

However, even the most basic strategy is beyond the scope of a key that has been subjected to a transformation spell.

After all, the key doesn't have a real soul or consciousness; it can only obediently surrender when two people work together.

Then Cho Chang handed the key to Dolly, who, without any ceremony, roughly shoved the key directly into the door.

Dolly then twisted the lock hard, and with a click, the lock popped open, and the key flew away again.

This time, however, it seemed to have no strength left to fly, and turned into a silver worm that twisted and turned in the shadows on the ground.

"let's go."

This scene didn't make Dolly laugh; it only made her feel that they needed to hurry up.

Although Quirrell couldn't kill Harry, there was always the worry that something else might happen.

They pushed open the door and entered the next room, which was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

But as soon as they stepped inside, the room was suddenly brightly lit, illuminating a shocking scene.

They stood around a huge chessboard, with black chess pieces in front of them. The pieces were taller than them and seemed to be carved from black stone or something similar.

At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white chess pieces, none of which had facial features.

"what is this?"

Hermione asked in surprise, "Wizards' Chess?"

Qiu Zhang calmly analyzed the situation and said, "It looks like Wizard's Chess. We can only continue if we win Wizard's Chess."

"So...you came?"

Cho Chang looked at Hermione, who opened her mouth wide and said, "I only know the basics of Wizard's Chess!"

"But you're already the strongest on our side."

Cho Chang shrugged and stated a fact that Hermione could not deny.

Although Hermione and Cho Chang are both very intelligent, they only started learning about wizard chess after entering Hogwarts.

In addition, neither of them really liked this kind of game, so their skill level was only at a beginner level.

Dolly was even worse; sometimes she even needed to recall the rules.

Meanwhile, Dolly was searching for any trace of people who might appear.

Sure enough, she spotted Ron in the corner.

Dolly quickly went over, and Hermione and Cho Chang also noticed Ron and immediately followed.

"What's wrong with him? Could it be..."

Qiu Zhang looked somewhat nervous, clearly having noticed the bloodstains at the corner of Ron's mouth.

Dolly reached out and felt Ron's pulse. Finding his heartbeat steady, she said, "He must have just passed out."

After saying that, Dolly cast a Restoration Charm on Ron.

The next second, Ron opened his eyes and got up, looking like he wanted to run away at any moment.

"Alright, Ron, you're safe now."

Dolly patted Ron on the head, a gesture that left Ron somewhat bewildered.

Only after seeing Dolly's face clearly did she show a look of surprise and say, "What are you doing here..."

Before Dolly and the others could answer, Ron's already pale face turned deathly white in an instant.

He stared intently at the huge chessboard behind the group, pointing at the pieces and trembling as he said, "We've already won, so why are these pieces still here!"

"They are all magical creations. As long as the magic power is not completely exhausted, they will continue to move and even regenerate on their own. This must be Professor McGonagall's doing. It seems she has put a lot of effort into it."

Dolly analyzed all of this, and although Miss Door did not list the magic that these pieces possessed, Dolly felt that they were probably Professor McGonagall's masterpieces.

It requires at least level 5 Polymorph and level 4 Binding Charm to complete.

"What about Harry and Neville?" Dolly asked, feigning ignorance.

Ron replied, "They should have continued. I... I ended up being the one to commit suicide. It looks like I passed out."

Ron was a little embarrassed when he said this, but Hermione and Cho Chang both looked at him with new respect.

After all, in their minds, Ron was just Harry's sidekick who sometimes cursed on Harry's behalf.

How could someone still have such courage?

Dolly, however, was generous with her praise for Ron, saying, "Looks like you did a great job, but could you help us clear the level one more time?"

"After all, I can't just let Harry go all the way alone."

Ron hesitated for a moment, but then, remembering that Harry and Neville's fates were still unknown, he gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I can help you; we can replace four pieces together."

"Then we'll work together to win the final victory, and only the winners can enter the next room."

"I don't know what's next, but this time I'll try my best to prevent anyone from getting hurt."

Dolly smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to be so nervous, we can get through safely."
