The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly felt her face flush, but instead of running away, she asked, "Qiu, what about you?"

Qiu shrugged and said, "As for me, I'll probably stay with my mother for a while."

"As for the rest of the time, I'll probably just travel around by myself... If you have time, could I ask you to come along?"

"of course."

Dolly answered calmly, but her heart began to race unceremoniously.

Hermione didn't realize anything was wrong, but instinctively said, "Me too."

Qiu Zhang naturally wouldn't refuse, saying, "If you have time then, we'll definitely go together."

"After spending almost a whole year at Hogwarts, I've almost forgotten what the Muggle world is all about."

Cho Chang's words resonated with Dolly and Hermione.

Although Dolly brought electrical appliances into the dormitory, it was still far behind the electrical age of the Muggle world.

Perhaps because of Dolly's arrival, both Hermione and Cho Chang began to pay more attention to life in the Muggle world.

After all, while magic is wonderful, life in the magical world can be rather monotonous and boring.

After all, none of the three of them were the kind of people who had a fervent passion for adventure or exploring the secrets of magic.

As the three people were chatting, three more people appeared not far outside the private room, whispering amongst themselves.

Harry and his two friends, as was their custom, had come to play with Dolly and her friends for a while.

However, Ron had a hint of displeasure on his face this time, and said, "Let's just let it go this time. Are you really going to have to put up with Granger's attitude?"

Hermione's dissatisfaction with Gryffindor winning the House Cup has been written all over her face for the past few days.

Although he didn't react, he ignored Harry and the other two.

Harry and Neville didn't seem to have any opinion on this.

After all, Harry and Neville believed that Hermione had helped them a lot more than once and deserved some extra points at the end of the semester.

Not to mention Dolly, who saved three lives from Quirrell's clutches!

If Neville's intelligence can be added 50 points, shouldn't Solly also be added 50 points, or even 100 points, for saving three people's lives?

However, Dumbledore seemed to have forgotten this, or perhaps in his mind, the points for Dolly's rescue and the points deducted for her appearing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest late at night canceled each other out.

Ron's attitude was that all of this was arranged by Dumbledore.

If Hermione has any complaints, she should go to Dumbledore, not give them attitude.

After all, it wasn't like they were begging Dumbledore to let Gryffindor win the House Cup. As the victor, Ron couldn't stand bowing down to the losers.

Of course, Dolly was an exception.

After all, Dolly saved his life, so Ron was willing to humble himself and put on a smiling face in gratitude towards her.

"Why don't you go back first?"

Harry said somewhat helplessly, "Otherwise, I'll wait until we're about to get off the bus before coming over, and then I'll get off with my sister."

"That's fine."

Ron nodded in satisfaction, then pulled Harry away with a smile, adding, "Want to stay with me during the summer vacation? I'll show you what life is like in the wizarding world."

Harry was immediately smitten.

Although Harry is currently on good terms with Dolly and the Dursleys, that doesn't mean he'll have a happy summer vacation.

Dolly would visibly spend time with her best friends, while Harry didn't have many friends in the Muggle world.

Perhaps living with Ron's family, malice is a good option.

Harry nodded instinctively, and Ron excitedly hugged Harry's neck, raising his voice unconsciously, which Dolly also heard.

Dolly didn't pay much attention to the sound of Harry approaching and then leaving; after all, everyone has their own life!

It wasn't until summer vacation started that Dolly realized more clearly how much truth there really was in the saying that everyone has their own life.

Dolly soon received a message that Cho Chang had left England and returned to his homeland to be with his sick grandfather.

I might not be able to come back for the entire summer vacation.

Dolly felt a little disappointed when she saw the letter.

However, she then wrote a long string of words to comfort Cho Chang, because no matter how much Dolly longed for it, she couldn't make Cho Chang give up spending his last moments with his loved ones.

As for Dolly chasing after him herself, that's something she can't do right now, and it's not appropriate for her to do it either.

I can only hope to see Akiharu again at the start of the new semester or at the end of summer vacation.

As for Hermione, it was just as she said.

The family planned a trip, and this time they were going to several countries for a full month.

The reason is actually quite simple: the Grangers also made more money because of Vernon's advice.

Vernon's stock market profits were an open secret, and he had no intention of hiding them from his friends.

Of course, how much one earns is a matter of personal privacy, and even close friends shouldn't ask about it; this is one of the basic etiquette rules in Britain.

So Vernon didn't know exactly how much extra the Grangers made, but it must have been several hundred thousand dollars.

For the Grangers, who were both dentists and had their own practice, this was hardly a life-changing fortune.

But it is certainly enough to make life easier for them.

As for Harry, he even wrote to Dumbledore to inquire about it.

Dumbledore's answer was that he had to spend at least a month with his family during the summer holidays.

You can spend the rest of the time playing with Ron.

So Harry started staying home for two or three days, and then switching to staying at Ron's house for a few days.

When Harry is home, Dolly can play games with him, but when Harry isn't home, Dolly gets very bored by herself.

At school, Dolly had to pretend to be a little witch.

But once she got home, when no one was around, Dolly couldn't exactly sit with her dolls and watch cartoons or cheesy romance dramas.

This was far too boring for Dolly.

Even if you could just hold a wild Hermione and nibble on her ear, or play with her fingers?

Of course, Dolly also tried shopping, watching movies, and going to amusement parks.

But Vernon and Petunia were still a little worried about her going out alone, since Dolly wasn't allowed to use magic anymore.

Dolly would quickly get bored playing alone, because being alone ultimately only leads to loneliness, not happiness.

Dolly also tried to put all her energy into her work.

For example, finding a suitable investment agent for one's own family, or researching more ways to make money.

But Dolly soon realized that, given her age and connections, doing these things was difficult, or even unnecessary.

After all, Dolly's current investments are mainly in stocks, and she herself is unwilling to do more complex or risky investments.

As for investing in industries and the future, such as the internet and new energy, it is clearly not the right time yet.

Keep in mind that the World Wide Web has only just emerged this year, and the first burst of the dot-com bubble won't happen for another ten years. Doing all this is way too early.

As for more pragmatic industries, such as real estate or manufacturing, Dolly was even less inclined to pursue them.

She wanted to be a wealthy woman who could live a life of ease, not a powerful woman who could win over everyone.

If Hermione gets interested in this in the future, we might as well let her do it.

In the end, Dolly adjusted the amount and share of her family's stock investments based on her past life's experience and memories, and Dolly's work for the year was basically over.

Moreover, since the investments were mainly in US stocks, this eliminated the need to transfer cash assets due to subsequent devaluation of the British pound.

In addition, Dolly did not forget to make it clear to her business partners, such as Cho Chang's father, about this matter.

In order to prevent their business partners from suffering too much loss in the upcoming battle of the gods.

Of course, Dolly wasn't so kind to the fairies.

If they fail, it will be a good thing for Dolly in a way.

Because that meant Dolly would have another chance to get fairy silverware from them.

Finally, just when Dolly thought this kind of life would continue for the entire summer.

Dolly, however, received an unexpected letter.

The sender was none other than Ollivander.

Dolly opened the letter with surprise, and soon the answer to her question was found.

Although she had no contact with Ollivander for a whole year, the old man did not forget Dolly, this special student.

It wasn't because Dolly, like many other special little wizards, used up all the wands in his room, but rather because Dolly's affinity for wands impressed him.

Clearly, Ollivander wanted Dolly to understand more deeply her affinity for wands.

So he wrote this.

"Dear Miss Dolly Dursley, would you be willing to come to my shop during the summer holidays and experience the secrets of wand making?"

"Of course, I won't charge any fees; I just hope you can better showcase your talent."

"I could even pay you a salary, one Galleon a day, how about that?"

Dolly almost burst out laughing when she saw Ollivander's sincere words.

It wasn't because Ollivander offered too little, but because Dolly seemed to see an old man scratching his head in frustration.

He must have been really looking forward to Dolly's visit to do this at this particular time.

Regardless, it feels really good to have your talent recognized.

Dolly thought about it carefully for a while and decided to give Ollivander an affirmative answer.

Although studying diligently during the summer vacation doesn't quite align with Dolly's philosophy of life.
