The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Yes, we'll share life and death.

Now, Fleur is incredibly grateful that she chose to climb up the snow cave with Dolly that day.

Although it seemed risky and even incredibly reckless at the time, it also forged a friendship with Dolly that most people might never experience in their lifetime.

“But I think it’s too good for him, Dumbledore.”

Dolly pouted and said, "You know, he got a huge credit for nothing, I always feel like he should pay some price."

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled, saying, "Miss Dursley, you're not a businesswoman, why be so calculating?"

"Perhaps he will remember your kindness and help you someday?"

Dolly shrugged, dismissing Dumbledore's statement with disdain.

The reason why gratitude is always repaid is because these are rare occurrences; in most cases, it's about forgetting kindness or even betraying one's principles.

Especially since Dolly and Brent are separated by the ocean, how could they expect the other to repay her in the future?

"Oh, right, Hibiscus."

Dolly's eyes lit up as she looked at Fleur and said, "How about we count this as part of your contribution?"

Furong waved her hands repeatedly. She was already grateful that Merlin had protected her from being implicated in this matter. How could she possibly share the credit?

However, Dolly found it increasingly feasible and simply whispered in Fleur's ear.

A gentle, warm breeze brushed against Furong's fluffy ears, making her itch from her earlobes to the depths of her heart, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

She didn't know why, but she kept hearing Dolly scolding her, "You're daydreaming! I finally came up with this great idea!"

Hibiscus turned to look at Dorina's adorable appearance and couldn't help but chuckle before saying, "Excuse me, could you please say it again?"

"alright."

Dolly didn't mind and repeated, "Simply put, get your teacher, Ms. Olem Maxim, involved too."

"This way, Dumbledore and I can remain invisible, but you and Madam Maxim will gain more honor. Is that alright?"

"As for Brent, I don't think he can refuse."

"And with Ms. Maxim's involvement, we have a better chance of success, don't we?"

Fleur was still somewhat hesitant, and even looked to Dumbledore for his opinion.

To Fleur's surprise, Dumbledore said, "That is indeed a good idea."

"Mr. Brent wouldn't be so annoyed if Miss Dursley had just thought of this idea."

"With Ms. Maxim's involvement, even though I was present, it was still a joint effort between her and me to resolve the issue, thus eliminating any concerns arising from the long-standing animosity between Britain and France."

Dumbledore's meaning is very simple.

If Maxim comes, the French will save face, and they can even boast that Maxim is no less than Dumbledore, proving that France is indeed a land of great women.

Furong was originally a clever person, but she didn't understand these intricacies. Now that she understood, she could only nod.

“Very well, then I will go and talk to Brent about this later.”

"Then what happens next..."

Dolly stretched and casually said, "Dumbledore, how about you teach me Apparition?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't I have to stay on this snow-covered mountain? I've had enough of this icy, snowy landscape."

Dumbledore thought seriously for two seconds and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Dursley."

"Although your abilities have surpassed the vast majority of your peers, I still cannot do this."

"This is not in line with Hogwarts' teaching schedule, and it is also irresponsible for your safety."

"As for your desire to rest, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, and I think the Aurors outside would be happy to send you down the mountain temporarily."

Dolly sighed with regret; she really wanted to learn Apparition.

However, she has no attribute points left, so it is indeed a bit dangerous for her to learn this magic on her own.

Perhaps I should wait until I return to England and try to learn from a professor.

As for Dumbledore, although Dolly could impersonate his disciple, Dolly and Dumbledore were not actually that close.

Once they get back to Hogwarts, they'll probably start arguing about Harry again.

Forget it, don’t think about it that much.

Dolly briefly clarified the upcoming arrangements with Dumbledore, then took Fleur to find Brent.

So Brunt sent a female Auror with Dolly and Fleur back to the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and even sent them to Paris.

As for Snow, he naturally remained on the snow-capped mountain.

After such a long negotiation, Brent dared not covet Snow again, and even treated him like a treasure.

Because Dumbledore also chose to return to England first to explain the situation to everyone and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

If Brent doesn't take good care of Snow, then Lydia and Dumbledore might never return.

So things returned to normal; he really wasn't entirely confident he could handle these snowmen on his own.

"Dolly, let me take you to the hidden place to play."

Upon arriving in familiar surroundings, Furong's pride began to resurface, and she felt obligated to fulfill her duties as a host.

The hidden location in France is equivalent to Diagon Alley in England, something Dolly has long yearned for.

Dolly readily agreed, and Fleur, pulling Dolly along, quickly found a bronze statue in the middle of a street.

She led Dolly to the bronze statue, pretending to admire it while looking around.

After confirming that no Muggles were curious about the two girls, he gently tapped the statue with his wand, and the statue immediately lifted its skirt to reveal the passage below, which the two girls then quickly crawled into.

The view is of a sunlit street in a medieval style, with varying elevations arranged in an orderly fashion, and shops of all styles and contents lining the street.

For example, magical items, and various fashionable clothes, definitely not limited to wizard robes.

Occasionally, you can see tables set up on the street, with rich and fragrant coffee on them, and guests dressed in gentlemen's suits and ladies' dresses sitting at the tables, giving Dolly a feeling of time travel for a moment.

Now Dolly understood why the French looked down on the British.

In comparison, Diagon Alley was indeed dilapidated, and with a group of people dressed only in wizard robes, it looked like a bunch of poor peasants compared to the French atmosphere here.

Why is there such a big difference between the two?

wrong.

In terms of wealth and status, Britain is by no means inferior to France.

After much thought, it should still be attributed to Voldemort.

Because of the Voldemort incident, British wizards were all on edge and chose to wear understated robes in public, gradually forgetting that wizards should also have their own aesthetic sense.

Of course, we have to go back to the time of Grindelwald; at least back then, British wizards had an appreciation for aesthetics.

Dolly's assessment that the British wizarding community was becoming increasingly conservative proved correct.

"This is my favorite shop. Their macarons are the best in the entire magical world."

"Of course, it's best enjoyed with tea, or do you prefer coffee?"

Dolly had long heard of macarons, and soon sat down with Hibiscus, enjoying afternoon tea just the two of them.

However, Dolly choked on her first bite.

Although Dolly was already familiar with Westerners' levels of sweetness, macarons still caught her off guard, acting as a sugar-inducing assassin.

However, Dolly soon experienced an even higher level of sweetness.

Hibiscus seemed surprised that Dolly had choked, and the pride and arrogance on her face vanished in an instant.

She quickly got up from her seat, leaned forward, and used a handkerchief to wipe Dolly's mouth, then gently patted Dolly's shoulder.

With a concerned look on her face, she said, "Have you not had dessert in a long time? Are you not used to macarons? How about we try something else?"

There was no mockery, only pure concern.

Just as Fleur and Dolly had realized, her so-called pride was nothing more than a facade of arrogance; deep down, she was a gentle and affectionate person.

Of course, in the original story, Furong's deep affection initially only applied to her own sister.

Now, it seems there's another Dolly.

Dolly had been a British citizen for two years, so she naturally wouldn't lose her composure.

I quickly returned to normal, then cleansed my palate with some tea before enjoying the macarons again.

This time, Dolly mastered the correct way to eat macarons.

With a gentle bite, the crisp outer layer immediately crumbles, revealing a soft and sweet filling, accompanied by a rich almond aroma.

This is the taste a macaron should have, and it truly lives up to its name as a delicate, youthful breast.

And this size seems to be about the same as Hibiscus's—Dolly thought to herself as she watched Hibiscus unbutton her coat.

Chapter 187, Second Update: He came to my house to stay overnight.

The two then talked for a long time.

Although they haven't known each other for long, they've already built a deep friendship, and then they'll start from scratch to fill in the details of their lives and personal hobbies.

Why does it feel like the love of newlyweds?

Okay, just kidding.

About two hours later, the two of them finally finished the macarons, and they had to part ways for the time being.

Because Fleur decided to accept Dolly's suggestion and go to find her teacher, Makassim.

It wasn't that she intended to earn an honor for herself, but rather that having her teacher there would indeed make the situation less tense.

If she had brought her teacher with her today, the whole situation might have turned into a friendly meeting between Markasim and Dumbledore.

This made Fleur admire Dolly even more, but it also aroused her greater curiosity about her.
