The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Because Dolly actually started wearing her clothes.

Although Dolly still looked too big in the dress, after she finished wearing it, she started swaying her upper body and showing off in front of Hermione, which made Hermione both shy and angry.

And Dolly wore her clothes. What was she wearing?

After all, there were no spare clothes for her here, and she couldn't use Dolly's clothes either.

Hermione pounced on Dolly, pinning her down and straddling her. She began to roughly stroke Dolly from her waist to her ribs, then started to snatch her clothes back.

Dolly had intended to resist, but the slight electric shock from her waist made her stiffen. By the time she came to her senses, Hermione had already taken her clothes back.

Hermione, with a victorious look in her eyes, continued to sit on Dolly, then leisurely dressed, crossed her arms, and looked at Dolly like a victorious queen looking at her defeated opponent.

Clearly, she didn't have Dolly's sensitive nature.

Dolly pursed her lips, then casually lifted herself up with a twist of her waist, and Hermione slid off her waist, even sliding all the way down to Dolly's knee, right next to her thigh.

If Dolly hadn't held back, Hermione might have been sent flying.

Of course, Dolly wouldn't do such a thing.

She was simply trying to make Hermione understand that trying to suppress her, Dolly the Sly, from above would come at a price.

Hermione is now clearly aware of the consequences.

She wasn't hurt; instead, her body went limp, and that strange feeling she had almost forgotten attacked her body again, from her back all the way to her head.

She didn't quite understand what it was yesterday, but now she seems to understand.

After all… Dolly did something like that too! Last year, she even gave Dolly a book because of it.

Thinking of this, Hermione blushed slightly, but dared not continue teasing Dolly.

If that feeling were more prevalent, Hermione really wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

She bluntly said, "Dolly, you're not planning to have Cho Chang come to our room to see us, are you?"

"I don't really mind, but I don't know what you think?"

Hermione's words made Dolly's smug expression stiffen.

Well, even if Dolly had the guts, she still wouldn't dare let Cho Chang see her and Hermione being so intimate.

While explaining her and Hermione's current situation from the perspective of friendship... isn't entirely inexplicable.

But Dolly thought it was highly unlikely that Cho Chang would believe it.

It's best not to scare Qiu Zhang.

So Dolly said, "Well then, let's get ready to go and greet Cho Chang."

Hermione gave a soft snort, clearly not satisfied with Dolly's answer.

If Cho Chang really saw what she and Dolly looked like, Hermione would actually be quite looking forward to seeing Cho Chang's expression at that moment.

However, Hermione thought about it carefully and realized that her own idea was very strange.

It was as if she was competing with Cho Chang for Dolly... Oh no, she was competing with Cho Chang for Dolly, something that happened and was resolved back in first year.

What's strange now is the reason she and Cho Chang are vying for Dolly.

It wasn't because of any closer interaction with Dolly that caused the fight; that would make their relationship seem strange!

It was just a simple shower...

Hermione kept telling herself this, while also worrying about what Dolly might do next.

However, Dolly did become quiet and well-behaved afterward, without doing anything excessive. At most, she would help her fix her hair, making Hermione look as capable as she usually did.

The two girls had just come downstairs looking refreshed when there was a knock on the door.

Vernon went to open the door, but before doing so, he glanced at a small mirror in the doorway.

A mirror functions similarly to a cat's eye, allowing one to directly observe the outside world.

However, its main function is to tell Vernon whether the external magical defenses are working.

Once the magical defenses are affected or damaged, the mirror will emit a red light, which is naturally a magic left behind by Dumbledore.

This was so that Muggle Vernon and Penny could better assess the situation.

Now, all that's in the mirror is Qiu Zhang, wearing heavy clothes and panting heavily, and a car outside the gate.

Vernon, of course, recognized Cho Chang and opened the door directly.

Good morning, Ms. Zhang.

Vernon greeted Cho Chang, but before Cho Chang could speak, Vernon smiled and stepped aside, saying, "No need for pleasantries, Dolly and Hermione are waiting for you."

Cho Chang gave Vernon a grateful look, then rushed to the living room.

When Dolly saw Cho Chang arrive, she was about to say something with a smile when Cho Chang pounced on her and knocked her down onto the sofa.

At the same time, Qiu Zhang's emotions, which he could no longer suppress, and his lips kissing her cheek also rushed towards her.

At that moment, Dolly's hair almost stood on end.

what is this?

A Western-style greeting?

Cheek kisses are quite common in the UK.

However, for a girl like Qiu Zhang, who grew up in an Eastern culture, to use a cheek kiss as a greeting... well, feeling the moisture on her cheek, calling it a cheek kiss is a bit of self-deception.

But what does this mean? Dolly didn't think she and Cho Chang were that close.

However, Dolly couldn't think about it any longer because Qiu Zhang's suppressed sobs could be heard.

Tears fell onto Dolly's cheeks, the sensation from the slight kiss instantly overshadowed by the tears.

Dolly slowly hugged Cho Chang and gently patted his back to calm him down.

Hermione watched from the side, hesitant to speak, but ultimately chose to leave the time to Cho Chang.

After all, when she first saw Dolly yesterday, her performance wasn't much better than Cho Chang's.

She had enjoyed a wild night with Dolly, so it was really disrespectful of her to try and stop Cho Chang now.

Vernon and Penny stood together, their eyes welling up with tears as they witnessed this scene.

Penny, in particular, was still trembling.

However, the most difficult time has passed, and now everyone is shedding tears of happiness.

"Sister, what happened!"

Harry stumbled over, wand in hand, because he heard crying and thought there had been another conflict.

However, he immediately saw a tall girl pinning Dolly down on the sofa, as if she wanted to hug her completely, and then he realized that a guest had arrived.

"Uh……"

Harry wanted to say something more, but Vernon glared at him and said, "Get dressed before you come down. There are girls all here. You need to be a gentleman, Harry!"

Harry glanced down at his reflection before stumbling back to his room. He'd even put his sweater on backwards.

"Alright, Qiu, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Dolly sat up, and Cho Chang had no choice but to sit up as well, kneeling on the sofa next to Dolly.

Her eyes were red and she even had heavy dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well.

Cho Chang cupped Dolly's face in her hands, wanting to say something, but Dolly reached out and pinched her mouth, saying, "Now I'll talk, and you answer."

Have you had breakfast?

Qiu Zhang shook his head, and was about to speak when Dolly beat him to it.

"So what about dinner last night? How long have you been without a proper rest? I feel like you're about to collapse from exhaustion."

Cho Chang was unable to speak and could only listen to Dolly's orders.

“Now, Miss Qiu Zhang, I order you to eat something immediately and then rest in my bed until noon. You are not allowed to argue.”

"I... Hermione and I will be with you, understand?"

Dolly's unreasonable words were something that Cho Chang might refute.

After all, the person Qiu Zhang should be asking about the most is Dolly's recent ordeal.

To Dolly's surprise, Cho Chang actually laughed, nodded gently, and then leaned against Dolly, wiping away his tears with a handkerchief.

It seems that Qiu Zhang is really tired.

Dolly hadn't expected her words to be so effective, so she turned to look at Penny.

Then, in an apologetic tone, she said, "I'm sorry, Mom, but could you please..."

"No need to be so polite, child."

Penny quickly answered, "Chu and Hermione are the best kids. They care about you just as much as we do, and they've tried to do even more for us."

"Right now, I just need to make sure Qiu has enough to eat. I will definitely do that well."

"By the way, do you need Vernon to buy you some Chinese breakfast? Chinatown should be open for business soon."

Qiu Zhang quickly waved his hand and said it wasn't necessary.

Dolly felt really bad that her father would make the trip to Chinatown and back for such a reason, as it would take at least an hour each way.

In the end, Cho Chang did get to eat the English breakfast that Penny had made.

Although British cuisine is infamous worldwide, an English breakfast is still worth trying.

Of course, the dishes are still the same few kinds, and they get boring after a while.

However, for someone like Qiu Zhang who needs rest and to replenish energy, an English breakfast is indeed a good choice.

Dolly's family doesn't have any complicated table manners, so the family can eat and chat at the same time.

Dolly then realized what Cho Chang had been busy with these past two days.

She used almost every available channel to book round-trip tickets between England and France, and also asked her father's friends in France to help gather information.

If Dumbledore hadn't possessed the Portkey and Apparition, Dolly might have met Cho Chang first in France, not Dumbledore.

It can only be said that Qiu Zhang did indeed sacrifice a lot for her, but unfortunately, he did not get a good result.
