The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Ron's expression was initially calm, but after hearing Dolly's words, his face immediately filled with pain.

Of the three, he had the worst academic performance.

Originally, among the trio, he had the most interaction with Hermione for this reason, since he needed to copy Hermione's homework and ask Hermione to help highlight the important points.

But now he can only rely on himself and Neville.

Of course, first-grade grades do not affect academic progress, so Ron does not need to worry about being held back or expelled.

As for whether his poor exam results would result in repeated beatings from his parents during the summer vacation, that was not something Dolly needed to worry about.

Breakfast time passed quickly.

Dolly didn't go to see Harry directly, but instead asked Spot to check on Harry's condition every day and notify her as soon as Harry woke up.

After that, Dolly threw herself into her studies.

Although exam scores don't affect college admissions, Hermione still set a hard target for Dolly.

She needs to be first in the whole grade, and Dolly needs to be at least in the top five.

For every word lowered, she had to think of a way to punish Dolly.

Dolly was actually looking forward to the punishment Hermione had mentioned.

But when she heard that Hermione's first punishment was that she wouldn't be allowed to sleep in Hermione's bed, Dolly obediently picked up her book.

After all, Dolly could distinguish between temporary pain and prolonged pain.

Studying hard only makes things painful for a few days, but being forbidden from sleeping with Hermione makes every day miserable for Dolly afterwards.

She's almost gotten used to sleeping with Hermione in her arms every day.

It smells sweet and soft, and especially since she can openly admire every inch of Hermione's skin up close every day when she wakes up, how could Dolly possibly give up such a wonderful perk?

Besides studying, everyone also had other forms of entertainment to participate in.

That was the extended Quidditch match.

For example, these past two days have seen Ravenclaw versus Slytherin.

This match was almost without suspense; Cho Chang had clearly overcome the psychological shadow of his injury and completely ignored the threats from the Slytherin members.

After all, compared to the threats in the challenge, the clashes between the Slytherin team members were rather weak.

As for the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, they suffered a crushing defeat due to Harry's absence.

The only remaining match is the duel between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

You could even say this is a showdown between Cho Chang and Harry, and everyone is waiting for Harry to wake up.

Five days later, Harry woke up.

The time it took to wake up was longer than in the original storyline, showing that even the carefully designed plot by Dumbledore has been altered.

This served as a wake-up call for Dolly, and further convinced her that Dumbledore's plan was not entirely credible.

If such significant changes have already occurred, then the magnitude of future changes will likely be even greater, and those around Dolly may be drawn into the conflict.

Dolly can only rely on her own strength to protect those around her, and no matter how much Dumbledore tries to persuade her, Dolly will never give up on this.

"elder sister?"

Harry opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, not expecting that the first person he saw was Dolly.

But Harry really enjoyed the feeling, a happy smile spreading across his face as he once again deeply appreciated the warmth of his family.

Dolly gave Harry a reproachful look and said, "Who else could it be but me? Some old white-bearded man?"

Normally, it should be Dumbledore who appears here.

Dumbledore had apparently said something similar to Madam Pomfrey, telling her to notify Harry immediately once he woke up.

But Dolly was somewhat helpful, and she led Dolly directly into the ward and brought her to Harry's side.

Dumbledore clearly wouldn't use Apparition with the Phoenix just to see Harry; that would be far too hasty and chaotic.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Harry scratched his head and said, "I vaguely heard that you, Hermione, and Cho Chang also came to try out the challenge."

"Our magical abilities far surpass those of the three of you. If you could succeed, what chance do we have?"

Dolly sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Tell me what happened."

Although Dolly already knew everything that had happened, it still needed to be told by Harry so that she could rightfully know all of this.

Harry didn't hide anything and told the whole story directly.

The process from Harry's investigation of the Philosopher's Stone to his successful completion of the trial can naturally be omitted, as Dolly is already very familiar with it.

Upon entering the last room, Harry found Quirrell on the verge of death.

Quirrell pleaded with Harry to use the Philosopher's Stone to save him, because he didn't want to die, even if it meant being sent to Azkaban.

Seeing this, Harry naturally softened.

After all, Harry was still a first-year wizard and didn't have a deep understanding of the cruelty among wizards. He didn't even know that the person Quirrell in front of him had Voldemort on the back of his head.

Harry then went to the Mirror of Erised, took the Philosopher's Stone from its reflection, and then went to Quirrell's side.

He had originally intended to interrogate Quirrell about how to use the Philosopher's Stone to save him.

This was Harry's last bit of self-protection.

Unfortunately, Quirrell was not a patient man, and Voldemort even ordered Quirrell to kill Harry.

So Quirrell reached for the Philosopher's Stone with one hand and grabbed Harry by the neck with the other.

Harry was startled and tried to struggle, but then he saw Quirrell's hand begin to melt as it touched Harry's skin, and he screamed in pain.

Harry was initially terrified, but he quickly realized that Quirrell was going to kill him.

Enraged, Harry straddled Quirrell and delivered a series of punches to Quirrell's face.

Voldemort roared and emerged after Quirrell's face had completely disappeared, delivering a heavy blow to Harry.

Of course, I'm still fine, but I've been emotionally affected.

Then Dumbledore came in to clean up the mess.

Dolly stared at Harry, her eyes wide with surprise at how the details of the story would change so dramatically.

She couldn't help but ask Harry, "When did you learn to use boxing, or rather, when did you come to like using your fists?"

Harry scratched his head shyly and said, "I sometimes practice alone in my dorm, but I've never actually fought one."

"I only dared to rush up to him because I saw how afraid Quirrell was of approaching me."

"If it were a normal wizard, I definitely wouldn't dare."

Dolly nodded, commenting on Harry's actions: "Try to fight less often in the future. I used this method because I don't have much magic power and my magic level isn't high..."

As Dolly said this, Harry gave her a disbelieving look.

In his opinion, his sister's skill level was already quite formidable.

Dolly rolled her eyes and said, "I'm a Ravenclaw, don't judge me by your standards."

The reason was irrefutable, and Harry touched his chest, soothing his wounded little heart.

"Of course, if it really comes down to close combat, or if you manage to knock the opponent's wand away, you can still use your fists."

Dolly thought of Harry's most proficient spell, Exorcism, and Harry's feat in the original story of wielding Gryffindor's sword to kill the Basilisk.

It seems that Harry did indeed have the potential to become a magic warrior, but unfortunately he was unable to develop it.

Moreover, even as an adult in the original books, Harry wasn't exactly a master of spells. He relied more on his decisive fighting style and rich combat experience to become a qualified Auror.

Perhaps Dolly could also arrange some physical and combat training for Harry?

Dolly thought this, but didn't delve into it further for the time being.

She came here to see Harry not just to say hello, but more to form a united front with him on how to deal with Voldemort.

If Harry doesn't come, Dumbledore will seize the opportunity.

In Harry's eyes, she became a wise and intelligent guardian who controlled and saved everything, and was admired by Harry.

Of course, Dolly had no intention of damaging Dumbledore's reputation.

The plan was simply to allow Harry to view the matter more objectively and correctly before Dumbledore arrived.

So Dolly said, "Harry, now that you're alright, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Seeing Dolly's serious expression, Harry propped himself up and sat up.

He was still a little weak, but thanks to the energy supplements Madam Pomfrey kept giving him, Harry still had the strength to sit up.

Dolly helped Harry arrange the pillows so that he could sit more comfortably.

Then he continued, "At first we argued about whether Quirrell or Snape was the mastermind, but now it turns out I was right."

Seeing that Harry was about to say something, Dolly continued, "I'm not trying to show off, nor am I trying to point out your mistakes."

"Instead, I want to say that my siblings and I are a family, and it is impossible for us to remain unaffected in this kind of thing. We should trust and support each other."

"If there is a next time, let's face it together."

Harry nodded immediately; his sister's words were the greatest help he could receive.

After all these events, Harry realized how important it was to stay aligned with his powerful sister.

If his sister had helped him, he could have dealt with Quirrell much more easily.

You can even resolve Quirrell's issues beforehand, instead of having to team up with your friends for a so-called "challenge" at the last minute.

Seeing that Harry had agreed, Dolly didn't press the matter further. "If there's a next time, we'll face it together."
