The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly calmly replied, "Everyone, come out and clean up the mess. These little elves aren't really dangerous."

Encouraged by Dolly, the little wizards climbed out.

The Ravenclaw students, in particular, had already taken out their wands and were using magic with varying degrees of skill and clumsiness.

Before long, all the little elves were thrown back into their cages, and even the messy classroom and broken windows were repaired.

As for those few elves who escaped, they'll probably run rampant on the Hogwarts lawn for a few days.

After all this was done, the bell rang, and Anthony couldn't help but ask, "Should we take Professor Lockhart to the school hospital?"

Everyone looked over and saw Lockhart lying face down on the ground, his buttocks raised high.

It turned out that everyone had tacitly ignored Lockhart and no one had offered to help. Lockhart was now fast asleep and was even snoring softly.

This is just too funny.

"Alright everyone, let's at least save Professor Lockhart some face."

"Otherwise, if word gets out, won't people think we deliberately framed Professor Lockhart?"

Hermione was about to speak when Dolly spoke first.

Listen carefully, everyone. Dolly is quite a leader among her classmates, especially in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

“That’s right, Lockhart… well, Professor Lockhart isn’t just going to teach us, he’s going to teach all seven grades.”

"So at least... don't let him hold a grudge against us."

Anthony spoke up as well, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Dolly's reasons leaned towards emotion, while Anthony's reasons leaned towards reason.

After discussing it, everyone decided to go back to their seats.

Two wizards carried Lockhart to the front of the class and made him sit down, then he lay down on the table and fell asleep. A little witch even used a levitation charm to pull Lockhart's wand back.

After that, everyone started reading and studying, turning the remaining time into a self-study session.

Of course, whispers and laughter in private were inevitable, and Lockhart had become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Dolly, however, maintained a cold expression and seemed rather unhappy.

Because Hermione was not in a good mood, Dolly didn't want to be all smiles and jokes at this time, lest Hermione think she was deliberately targeting Lockhart and ruin everything.

Soon it was time for get out of class to end, and as the bell rang, Dolly silently cast a healing spell on Lockhart.

Of course, unlike Transfiguration, Dolly still needs to chant a spell to cast a healing charm, but she no longer needs to make a loud sound.

Lockhart jumped up as if he had springs in his body, looking around in horror, while the students laughed and joked at him.

Some people even said directly, "Professor, you fell asleep. You slept through half the class."

"Uh, I fell asleep?"

Lockhart looked at the wand in his hand, scratched his head, and then looked at the captured elves. Had he already captured them silently?

That's really... typical of him!

Lockhart smiled, though he didn't quite understand what was going on, but it was clear that his lesson had been a success.

Let's continue with this kind of class from now on.

"Very good, we have completed a perfect trial. To commend everyone's efforts, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will each receive ten...twenty points!"

Anyway, see you next time.

Lockhart covered the elf back with the bag, then quickly left with the cage as if nothing had happened.

But did he really not notice?

The moment Lockhart left, the classroom erupted in laughter. Lockhart quickened his pace, as if he wanted to escape.

Clearly, Lockhart wasn't completely ignorant.

But he was thick-skinned enough and gave everyone enough points, so those present would definitely not make fun of him about it anymore.

At least they wouldn't do it in person.

Whether Lockhart will embarrass himself again is not something that people can concern themselves with.

After class, Dolly and Hermione walked side by side. They had no more classes, so they could relax a bit.

Seeing Hermione's sullen expression, Dolly coughed lightly and said, "Hermione, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Professor Lockhart may not have had enough rest, or there may be something wrong with his wand, or he may just be not feeling well."

"In short, we should give him a chance to demonstrate more powerful magic for us, such as the Ironclad Charm..."

Dolly wanted to mention a few other spells, but Hermione reached out and twisted the skin on the back of Dolly's hand hard.

Dolly screamed instantly; this level of sneak attack was like having her heart ripped out.

Hermione immediately relaxed, but still punched Dolly twice with her little fists before glaring at her with a cute but fierce look and saying, "Did you already know?"

"You know?" Dolly asked knowingly, blowing on her hands with a blank expression. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Hermione glared fiercely at Dolly, who, despite the pain, couldn't help but smile.

Hermione chuckled as she watched.

He took Dolly's hand, bent down and blew on her a few times, saying, "Does that stop the pain? Or do you want me to cast a healing spell on you?"

Dolly grabbed Hermione's hand and said, "As long as you're happy, that's the best healing charm for me."

Hermione bit her lower lip, looked at Dolly's smiling face, and suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot.

It's a pity Dolly is a girl, so if that's the case... oh well, never mind.

Hermione now felt nauseous just thinking about Lockhart's name; he was definitely a man who could only be an unreliable fool.

"You haven't answered my question yet. How could you tell that he's not a powerful wizard?"

Hermione gently swayed Dolly's hand, and the two of them, hand in hand, swayed back and forth as they walked happily through the castle corridors bathed in the afternoon sunlight of spring.

"I guess it's just a gut feeling. Didn't I spend the whole summer learning how to make wands from Mr. Ollivander?"

Dolly decided to bring up Mr. Ollivander, and continued, "The foundation of wand making is sensing magic, but of course, you can make them even without that ability."

"However, the wands made that way would probably be so inferior that even fairies wouldn't want to use them."

Dolly considered her words carefully before saying, "Then I discovered that Lockhart's magic was too weak, and then I read his books and found that many of the logics in them were very contradictory."

"For example, the time and place, or his own changes in strength and coping strategies, etc. In short, Lockhart's biography is certainly not entirely about his own experiences."

Hermione sighed, covered her forehead with one hand, and said, "I'm starting to suspect that all his books are made up, but why do they feel so real?"

“Some of the details…”

"Perhaps it's a biography written by buying out someone else's experiences; isn't that quite common where we're from?"

Hermione nodded, accepting the answer.

Then she said angrily, "So what are we supposed to do? Are we going to do nothing again this year for Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"I bet Lockhart won't even dare bring a pixie to the next class. What if he brings some Flobbercaterpillars?"

The florper caterpillar, the lowest of the magical creatures, is a 10-inch-long, toothless, brown worm.

Although being bitten by it can be excruciatingly painful, this thing isn't much stronger than a rat in terms of fighting ability.

“I’m worried Lockhart won’t be able to find that many caterpillars, and maybe he’ll just get more determined after all that setbacks?”

Dolly said it casually, as if she were joking.

But she knew very well that if Lockhart just bowed his head like that, he wouldn't be Lockhart anymore.

This person is also a talent, in terms of perseverance and shamelessness.

Hermione expressed disbelief and decided that she would watch Lockhart make a fool of himself in the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

As the two chatted, they came to the grass and stood under a big tree that they knew best.

Since it was the beginning of the school year, even the most diligent Hermione had the leisure to spend time with Dolly.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Dolly felt as if she had been transported to another world.

After all, just a year ago, she and Hermione rode flying broomsticks into the sky and performed a perfect violation of the rules.

However, even if Dolly were given the choice again, she would do so without hesitation.

after all……

Thinking of this, Dolly turned and glanced at Hermione, who was also looking at her.

Clearly, the two girls had the same idea.

"Shall we go fly around in the sky a couple more times when we have time?"

Dolly extended the invitation, and Hermione smiled happily and said, "Okay."

"I just don't know when I'll have some free time."

Hermione's statement that she was free certainly didn't mean that she and Dolly were free.

Instead, they were looking in the direction the Quidditch teams had already started training, and this kind of thing could only be done when they had a break.

It can only be said that people who like this competition are truly passionate.

Dolly's interest in Quidditch had waned, after all, Cho Chang had already won the Quidditch House Cup once.

Unless Dolly gives Cho Chang a cheat code, she can't possibly win for several years in a row. This year, all the colleges will definitely improve their equipment levels.

Furthermore, Cho Chang could not allow Dolly to disrupt the balance of the game, as that would be a desecration of her favorite Quidditch.

Thinking about this, Dolly couldn't help but wonder if Malfoy would join Quidditch again—by ​​sponsoring the team's new brooms.

As it turned out, the Malfoy family had enough wealth to squander.

Just a few days later, Malfoy began showing off his new broomstick, Nimbus 2001, to the entire Slytherin school team.

Clearly, the broom that made Akiharu the champion last year is now officially on the market.

Although Qiu Zhang's weapon, being a limited edition, might be slightly more powerful, it's clearly not enough to give Qiu Zhang that advantage again.
