The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Hermione's arrival means Cho Chang will be arriving soon too.

Given the availability of seats, there was absolutely no need for six people to squeeze into one carriage.

Oh no, there should be eight people now.

Because Luna and Ginny came too.

Dolly, are you alright?

Luna saw Dolly and jogged over to her side.

Although she didn't rush into Dolly's arms like Hermione and Cho Chang, her slightly pale face was flushed with excitement, and her braids were still swaying.

Dolly could see the deep concern in her eyes, and her heart warmed. She said, "Don't worry, it was just a trip to France."

"Besides, I have Dumbledore protecting me, so how could I possibly encounter any danger?"

Dolly didn't say much, even though she knew Luna probably already knew a lot.

According to Ron's account, the Daily Prophet embellished Dolly's story.

In particular, Dolly helped the French in France, and it is described that Dolly used her Transfiguration to stop an avalanche.

When Dolly first heard this, she was a little worried, wondering if her strength was about to become public knowledge.

It turned out that Ron reassured Dolly.

He said his brothers thought it was complete nonsense from the Daily Prophet, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity to denigrate the French.

As for Ron himself, he asked with some suspicion what exactly was going on.

Only after Dolly answered that everyone had used magic together to stop the avalanche did he end the question with a hint of regret, seemingly disappointed that he had lost a bragging point.

Those familiar with Dolly's abilities might think that she could do it.

Those unfamiliar with Dolly would obviously find it easier to accept Ron's explanation, since how could a little witch possibly have such power?

Luna calmed down after Dolly's persuasion.

Just as she was about to say something, Luna coughed violently twice.

Dolly's heart skipped a beat at this, and she quickly asked, "Are you sick?"

Luna shook her head and said, "I was just trying to look for snow ladybugs with my dad during the New Year's holiday, but we failed."

"By the way, snow beetles are insects that only appear in heavy snow. They have a red glow on their bodies and can be used to make special antifreeze."

Luna's strange pronouncements immediately turned the previously harmonious atmosphere into something odd.

Dolly wasn't entirely unconcerned, but Hermione, Harry, and Ron all clearly looked uncomfortable.

They clearly wanted to tell Luna that such a thing didn't exist, but they were too proud to hurt or disappoint her.

Instead, Ginny, who had become quite familiar with Luna, pulled Luna aside and said, "Let's go to the next carriage to rest. You can sleep a little longer there."

Luna nodded and gave Dolly an apologetic smile.

Dolly simply opened her bag, took out some Muggle cold medicine, gave it to Luna, and told her how to take it.

These medications are something Dolly always carries with her when she goes out.

Although using potions can achieve excellent results, even immediate ones.

However, taking potions is not very convenient. Sometimes, when symptoms suddenly appear, taking medicine is quicker.

Of course, Dolly could only obtain common medications that even Hermione approved of.

After Luna and Ginny left, Harry and Ron also disappeared.

Qiu Zhang arrived late, but hesitated to enter.

"Qiu, what's wrong?"

Dolly saw Cho Chang, and her words finally made Cho Chang bite the bullet and come in. Dolly immediately noticed the dark circles under Cho Chang's eyes.

Are you just too excited because school is starting soon?

Dolly asked in a teasing tone, but her expression was very serious.

Dolly was already very worried because Cho Chang hadn't been able to rest properly while saving her.

As a result, Cho Chang now looks even more tired, and Dolly would be heartbroken if she really fell ill.

"No, I just...didn't sleep well."

Qiu Zhang casually offered a reason, clearly trying to cover something up.

Dolly was eager to get to the bottom of things, but just then the train started moving.

"Come and sit down!"

So Dolly pointed to the side next to her, and Cho Chang didn't refuse and sat down next to Dolly.

Dolly looked at Hermione and said, "Hermione, how about you sit over there by yourself on the way back this time?"

Hermione didn't understand what was going on at first.

But she soon understood.

Dolly pressed down on Cho Chang's shoulders, letting her lie on her lap, and then gently massaged her temples and scalp.

Qiu Zhang was initially flattered and even considered resisting.

Once Kodory was determined to do something, how could Cho Chang and Hermione possibly resist with their physical strength?

So Qiu Zhang could only obediently lie on Dolly's lap, feeling the softness of Dolly's legs and the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

At that moment, Qiu Zhang felt his eyes welling up with tears.

She couldn't tell anyone about the pressure she was under because she was afraid of scaring them.

Dolly, however, could keenly perceive Dolly's worries even without knowing what they were about, and then help her share everything.

Dolly was indeed the best girl she had ever met, her best friend, and more than that...

Hermione watched from the opposite side, initially puffed up with anger.

Because she has never enjoyed such treatment!

But then she saw Qiu Zhang finally close his eyes in exhaustion, and she immediately relaxed.

After all, Hermione and Dolly enjoyed a sweet and crazy night together, while Cho Chang had nothing in comparison.

It's just a lap pillow now; she could easily lie on Dolly's naked chest while she sleeps.

Hmm... actually, that feeling wasn't very pleasant, since there wasn't much cushioning.

And so, the three girls remained almost completely silent on their return journey.

When the sun set, Qiu Zhang woke up, feeling as if he had just had a sweet dream.

It was so sweet that when she woke up, she had a smile on her face and her mouth felt sweet, as if she had eaten chocolate.

Then she saw Hermione's mischievous grin and asked, "What does it taste like?"

Cho Chang then realized that Hermione, who couldn't stand it any longer, had stuffed a Bean into her mouth.

Qiu Zhang sat up and stretched. The dark circles under his eyes had faded a bit, but it might take a few more days for them to disappear completely.

However, compared to physical exhaustion, Qiu Zhang felt mentally energized.

So she proudly said, "It's chocolate flavored, and very sweet."

Hermione looked on incredulously and said, "I've never heard of such a taste before... I'll try it again."

Hermione, in a moment of impulsiveness, popped another one into her mouth, then put on her Pain Mask and almost gagged as she said, "Bitter orange flavor!"

Qiu Zhang laughed heartily before turning to Dolly.

Looking at Dorina's delicate face, he couldn't help but blush.

She couldn't remember exactly what happened in her dream, but she was certain that the girl in front of her was the one who made her so sweet in the dream.

Alas, she is truly beyond redemption.

"Autumn?"

Dolly felt a little nervous under Cho Chang's gaze and asked a question out of curiosity.

Qiu Zhang stood up and said, "Put on your clothes, we're almost at our stop."

Next, the three girls changed their clothes and spent their last bit of time playing games with Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

Three people play rock-paper-scissors; the loser has to eat a rock.

Dolly ate several, but she was lucky and didn't taste anything too disgusting.

Qiu Zhang even ate three different flavored candies in a row.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked miserable; she ended up eating one that tasted like soot.

By the time Hermione recovered from her defeat, everyone had already arrived in the hall, ready to begin tonight's dinner.

Dolly looked curiously toward the platform, where Dumbledore was, smiling.

Does this mean that the situation at the school is not a big problem?

I wonder if the snake monster has been found at the school, or if it has been sealed away?

But Dumbledore's words immediately made Dolly sense that something was wrong.

"Before we begin the dinner, I must announce a new school rule."

“From today onwards, no student shall be allowed to go out alone after dinner every night, and shall not explore the secrets of the castle at night.”

"After 8 p.m., students must return to the common room as early as possible, accompanied by their prefect or senior students, to ensure their safety."

Dumbledore's words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion.

The students weren't initially panicked.

Although news of the secret room being opened had spread, no one knew that a basilisk was inside.

But now, the students can't help but start discussing whether the Chamber of Secrets has made Hogwarts no longer safe.

Many people turned to look in Harry's direction, as if they wanted Harry, the heir to Slytherin, to give an answer.

But Harry obviously couldn't provide an answer, and Dumbledore had no intention of answering the students' questions.
