The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Hermione even excitedly hugged Dolly's neck and jumped around, while Dolly clapped her hands, but remained calm because she knew the points weren't over yet.

“Yes, yes, well done, Ravenclaw,” said Dumbledore. “However, a few recent events must also be taken into account.”

The Great Hall fell silent as the Ravenclaw students realized something was wrong.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "I have some last points to allocate. Let me see... Oh, and..."

"First—Mr. Ron Weasley."

Ron's face flushed bright red, looking just like a sun-dried carrot.

"...He won the most brilliant game of chess at Hogwarts in many years, and I awarded Gryffindor fifty points for it."

The Gryffindors' cheers nearly lifted the enchanted ceiling off.

The stars above them seemed to tremble slightly from the shock.

You could hear Percy loudly telling the other prefects, "It's my brother, you know! My youngest brother! He made it through Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard!"

The noise lasted for a full minute before the auditorium quieted down again.

Dumbledore continued, "Secondly—Mr. Neville Longbottom…for his calm and logical reasoning in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor fifty points."

Neville was the one enjoying the cheers this time, and was even hugged by several boys until he was completely out of sight.

Finally, in the instant Neville's face was buried, Dolly felt that Neville was crying.

Neville clearly hadn't expected to be treated this way, since he probably felt he hadn't done anything.

"Third—Harry Potter."

Dumbledore spoke again, and the Great Hall fell into an eerie silence.

"He has shown great courage and extraordinary bravery, for which I will award Gryffindor sixty points."

The noise was deafening.

Those students who were shouting until their voices were hoarse while still mentally calculating their scores knew that Gryffindor now had 555 points, one point higher than Ravenclaw.

This means they have won the Academy Cup and are about to achieve final victory.

The members of Ravenclaw looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had no objection to Harry and his group receiving extra points.

They had heard about Quirrell's story. It was obviously something to celebrate that three first-year wizards were able to overcome such a challenge and even defeat Quirrell.

But in the end, Gryffindor won the House Cup by one point over Ravenclaw, which seemed a bit deliberate.

It even had a slightly humiliating tone, as if to say that no matter how hard the members of Ravenclaw tried, the only winner could be Gryffindor.

So the Ravenclaw members began to look to Dolly and Hermione, hoping that they could also add points to Ravenclaw's reputation.

Since Hermione and Dolly also completed the challenge, they should get extra points, right?

But in the end, Dumbledore didn't mention anything about adding points. Instead, he remained silent and smiled as he surveyed everyone.

Perhaps in his view, only those who can pass the level on their first try are entitled to extra points.

After all, Dumbledore's reason for giving him extra points was passing Professor McGonagall's chessboard test and Snape's fire potion test.

Dolly and her friends accomplished all this with the help of Ron and Neville, so it's only natural that they didn't receive any extra points.

The students of Gryffindor finally began to cheer again when they saw that Dumbledore was no longer speaking.

If someone were standing outside the Great Hall right now, they might think there had been an explosion, as cheers from the Gryffindor tables were rising in waves.

Harry and Ron stood up and cheered loudly. Neville was even picked up by several people and put on the table. He was so frightened that he turned pale and tried to run away, but as soon as he climbed down, he was overwhelmed by the crowd that pushed up to hug him.

Ron suddenly realized something, nudged Harry, and then pointed at Dolly.

Harry only then realized what was happening and cautiously looked towards Dolly.

Dolly clapped for Harry, her expression calm, and she seemed to be fine.

But Hermione, standing next to Harry, stopped pretending and looked annoyed and confused, while the other Ravenclaw students looked even more dejected.

After all, it was only one point short.

“This means,” Dumbledore said loudly, drowning out the thunderous cheers, “that we need to make some minor changes to the decor here.”

He clapped his hands, and instantly the blue hanging ribbons turned bright red; the enormous Ravenclaw eagle disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

Professor Fries shook hands with Professor McGonagall with a smile, his face showing genuine warmth.

It was certainly regrettable not to win, but Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall had a good relationship and didn't care much about it.

After he finished doing this, he looked at his students with encouragement, especially Dolly, Hermione, and Cho Chang, hoping that these three little stars of the house would not be discouraged by it.

This was clearly the best night of Harry's life, better than winning a Quidditch match, celebrating Christmas, or defeating a troll... He would never, ever forget this night.

But it was a tough time for Dolly.

Although Dolly was also unhappy, she remained relatively calm because she had expected this to happen.

Cho Chang could barely accept it, because she didn't have a strong sense of resistance to Dumbledore's authority, and perhaps accepting it was the most correct thing to do.

Hermione, however, fell into a slump and could not accept Dumbledore's actions.

That night, she even went to Dolly's bed on her own initiative, snuggling in Dolly's arms and craving Dolly's embrace and warmth.

Dolly, of course, was generous and held Hermione through the difficult night, and the next day, unusually, she began to help Hermione with washing and grooming.

For several days in a row, Hermione didn't smile much.

However, Dolly wasn't too worried about it, since summer vacation was just around the corner.

There's nothing that summer vacation can't cure; if there is, just add another vacation trip.

Suddenly one day, everyone's wardrobes were empty, and everything was packed into suitcases.

The notice was sent to every student, warning them not to use magic during the holiday.

Hagrid led them onto the fleet of boats that would cross the lake, and now they were aboard the Hogwarts Express.

Hermione perked up again and started discussing holiday plans with Dolly.

Please confirm the character designs for the main characters.

Since it's run by AI, there may be quite a few flaws, but it's good that everyone is aware of that.

If I ever get to Wan Jun (in my dream), I will find an artist to hand-draw a formal illustration.

As for the illustrations that the AI runs later, just understand the artistic conception; the AI cannot maintain a stable character design.

Below are the character designs for the main character. I hope you like them.
