The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

On one hand, Hermione was helping Dolly with the new year's lessons, and on the other hand, Dolly was busy searching for targets with the Marauder's Map, so she naturally didn't have time to make friends with Luna anymore.

Dolly wasn't in a hurry about this.

Unlike Qiu Zhang, a rebellious girl in the original story who started dating boys in the third grade, Luna didn't have any obvious romantic inclinations until graduation.

After all, most people see Luna as a crazy girl and would rather avoid her than have a deeper friendship with her.

In addition, Luna is a year younger than Dolly, so even if Dolly wants to be friends with Luna, it's not too late to wait three more years.

But today, Dolly has no choice but to rely on Luna regarding the search for Voldemort's diary.

Have you become friends with Ginny?

Dolly asked tentatively, "In the original story, Ginny was one of Luna's few friends."

Therefore, if the goal is to check if Ginny has this diary in her possession or room, Luna is definitely the most suitable person to do so.

As for why Dolly herself didn't go, Dolly was worried that Ginny really did have the diary.

If Dolly were to act rashly at this point, she would be facing Ginny, plus a younger version of Voldemort. He would most likely become alert and cause Ginny to become wary of Dolly in turn.

That would be a loss for Dolly.

Luna blinked her silver eyes, clearly waiting for Dolly to elaborate, because she needed a reason for befriending Ginny.

Dolly hesitated for a moment, considering whether or not to tell him about the diary.

Luna spoke first, saying, "I can be friends with Ginny; we've talked twice."

"So, is there anything I need to be careful about?"

Dolly looked at Luna in surprise, even wondering if Luna had seen through everything, otherwise why would Luna be so considerate?

But Dolly quickly realized what was happening.

Luna was simply doing her best to fulfill the wishes of her only friend, Dolly, even though her friend didn't intend to tell her the reasons for doing so, or the secrets hidden behind it.

None of these things matter to Luna.

That's enough for Dolly.

Dolly suddenly felt speechless.

Looking at the girl in front of her, who was a head shorter than her and seemed even thinner, Dolly felt a sense of acceptance that she had never felt from the little wizard before.

It's as if Luna is the older one.

But this situation is unreasonable. What did she experience at the age of 11, or what was her mindset, that made her do such a thing so naturally?

Dolly let out a soft sigh and said, "We need to keep an eye on her for any sudden growth or neurotic behavior, or if she's carrying anything that seems a bit odd."

"If possible, it would be best to go and see her dormitory."

Dolly still stated her request, and Luna nodded, saying, "Visiting her dorm might take some time, how about a week?"

Dolly nodded, and Luna smiled with relief. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Dolly grabbed Luna's shoulder.

Luna, holding her book, was looking at Dolly with curiosity.

Dolly reached out to help Luna straighten her slightly disheveled collar and used her wand to re-tie Luna's somewhat haphazardly braided hair.

Then she said, "If you find it too troublesome to braid your hair in the future, then let me do it."

"It's just a small favor anyway, how about we do it during breakfast every day?"

Luna's silver eyes flickered with a hint of excitement, but she shook her head and said, "If Ginny and I become friends, I can ask her for help, can't I?"

"You must be very busy lately, right?"

“I can tell you’re tired and anxious.”

"Don't worry, I think with your abilities, you can definitely solve everything smoothly."

Dolly couldn't help but laugh at these words of comfort that seemed to contradict the heavens, and said, "Then thank you for your comfort, Sister Luna."

Luna was taken aback, then blushed and shook her head repeatedly, as if she wanted to say that she had just spoken the truth and did not mean to tease Dolly.

But the preparatory bell rang, and she could only say goodbye to Dolly before fleeing.

Dolly was left alone, watching the direction Luna had left in, imagining Luna's somewhat awkward expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of Luna, she's so cute.

Yes, she's genuinely cute and has absolutely no ulterior motives!

Dolly didn't stay idle after that.

Since it's difficult to find the diary on her own, Dolly decides to use more of her powers.

Thus, the research on dragon skin entered a new stage. If surveillance equipment could be installed at some key points in Hogwarts, then neither the little wizard with the diary nor the basilisk would be able to hide.

With this arrangement, another week has passed.

As expected, Luna and Ginny became friends, a result that surprised Dolly.

Is Luna easy to make friends or difficult to make friends?

Luna was ostracized and even bullied by her roommates in the original story, and not many people liked her. So how come she seems to be a social butterfly with Ginny?

Dolly couldn't help but discuss this topic with Hermione.

For the past two weeks, Luna's strange behavior has been gradually emerging.

This includes, but is not limited to, bizarre sayings and the most deadly strange cheap ornaments, along with serious explanations of these ornaments.

Especially after people learned that she was the daughter of the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Singing the Dissent," these doubts gradually began to intensify.

However, the sight of Dolly occasionally helping Luna comb her hair abruptly brought this escalating romance to an abrupt halt.

Everyone could see that Dolly and Luna had a good relationship, and even out of respect for Dolly, no one would easily cause trouble for Luna.

"Maybe she and Ginny just get along well, just like the two of you."

Hermione spoke with an incredulous expression on her face.

In her view, Dolly and Luna were completely different kinds of people.

Dolly is very pragmatic. Although she is somewhat lazy, she is more focused and hardworking than anyone else when she has a goal.

On the contrary, Luna always seems to be lost in thought, and when you talk to her, you often don't know what she's thinking, or even doubt whether she's listening at all.

Hermione herself could never like Luna. What she couldn't accept most was that others wouldn't listen to her, and what she couldn't accept most was that others wouldn't understand her.

Dolly shrugged, unable to explain to Hermione either.

Although Luna always seems to be daydreaming, she is a qualified Ravenclaw who understands the current situation better than anyone else and knows people's hearts and feelings.

However, Luna will not easily change herself because of this, nor will she do things that do not suit her wishes in order to please others.

This is Luna: too sincere and frank, coupled with a bit of fantasy, makes her seem neurotic.

Seeing that Ginny and Luna had become friends, Dolly began to hope for an answer.

Finally, on a weekend evening, Luna knocked on Dolly's door.

Dolly quickly opened the door and, sure enough, saw Luna standing there.

"Come on, come in."

Dolly smiled and pulled Luna into the dormitory.

Hermione, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa reading a book, waved to Luna, then picked up a bag of potato chips and said, "Want some? It's a mild flavor, you should be able to handle it."

Luna stared in disbelief at Dolly's dormitory, at the dazzling array of electrical appliances, as if she had entered another world.

Luna grew up in the magical world and knew nothing about the technology of the Muggle world, except for a tiny bit from books and newspapers.

So when Luna saw the full set of electrical equipment in Dolly's dorm room, even she showed a look of fear.

However, Dolly pressed Luna down onto the sofa without saying a word, stuffed the cola and potato chips into her arms, and said, "Want to try some?"

"This is our Muggle way of life. Now that you're our friend, you must come visit us."

"So, how about we start with eating, drinking, and having fun?"

157 Feeding Luna

Seeing that Luna still didn't move, Hermione said helplessly, "You couldn't have left the packaging unopened, could you?"

Dolly, however, didn't say much. Instead, she helped Luna open the potato chip packaging and unzipped the can of Coke, handing it to Luna.

Luna, naturally embarrassed, didn't want to stay still. Instead, she held the ice-cold cola, which she had just taken out of the refrigerator, in both hands and took a small sip.

Hermione had a potato chip in her mouth and was pretending to read a book, but her eyes were actually glancing at Luna out of the corner of her eye, as if she was hoping something would happen to Luna.

After all, according to Hermione's understanding, cola is still iced cola. This slightly pungent taste might elicit a good reaction from a little girl trying it for the first time.

However, Hermione was disappointed.

Luna only licked it lightly before quickly pushing the cola away from her lips, frowning as she savored the taste, but her brows soon relaxed.

“It’s a wonderful feeling.”

"At first I thought there were chili peppers in it, but it was actually just some air bubbles."

Dolly looked at Luna in surprise and said, "You can taste the difference?"

Luna smiled slightly and said, "My tongue is very sensitive."

As she spoke, Luna stuck out her tongue, as if to make sure Dolly could see it clearly.

Looking at the pink tip of her tongue, and the glistening water droplets on it, Dolly couldn't help but look over, and then stuffed the potato chip she was holding into her mouth.

Then, realizing something was wrong, he quickly picked up another piece, stuck it on Luna's tongue, and said, "How about trying this one?"

Luna was caught off guard. The potato chip was huge, and when Luna tried to take it back, her mouth was blocked by it. This somewhat comical scene finally satisfied Hermione, who pursed her lips to keep from laughing out loud.

However, Hermione's smile quickly faded as Dolly took the potato chip and fed it to Luna.

Is this... feeding?

Luna took a small bite, and a crisp sound came from her mouth.

Compared to the "magic" of Coca-Cola's carbon dioxide bubbles, potato chips seem much more ordinary.

Because, like Muggles, potatoes are an indispensable part of the food for wizards, there are actually various potato-related recipes among wizards.
