The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Even if the problem becomes more complicated, it won't be Dolly's problem, but Dumbledore's problem.

If Peter Pettigrew hadn't died before, Dumbledore wouldn't have known about it, which is why he was indifferent to Sirius Black's imprisonment.

But Peter Pettigrew is still alive, and Dumbledore remains indifferent to Sirius Black's imprisonment... When Dumbledore explains this to Harry in the future, he can't just say he's forgotten, can he?

Dolly was pondering these things when Dumbledore's speech was essentially over.

Although this old man has many flaws and problems, he is unwilling to go on at length during his speeches, and that alone is enough to put countless principals to shame.

Then, Dumbledore announced the winner of this year's Academy Cup.

As expected, Gryffindor won the House Cup in the end.

This year, not only is Dolly calm, but even Hermione and Cho Chang, who are by Dolly's side, are quite calm.

Although they didn't know what the problem was between Dumbledore and Harry, nor did they know that Harry was the Child of Prophecy.

But they could also see that given the chance, Dumbledore would definitely favor Harry and Gryffindor.

Especially this year, it was indeed Harry and his two friends who killed the Basilisk. Although Dolly also saved Luna, or rather, together with Luna, stopped the Giant Spider, plus Cho Chang's House Cup victory.

But Dumbledore gave the three little ones two hundred points, so Dolly and the others could never catch up no matter what.

Thus, amidst the enthusiastic applause from Gryffindor, the calm applause from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and the complete indifference from Slytherin, the school year came to an end.

Dolly's third year at Hogwarts, the 1993-1994 term, is just around the corner.

But before that, Dolly and the others were going to have a happy summer vacation.

This was probably their happiest summer vacation yet; they might have to spend next year's summer vacation taking extra classes.

Of course, this applies to Harry and his friends.

This year they barely passed, and without Hermione's support, all three of them visibly declined in grades compared to the original story.

Harry slipped the least; this guy is actually a hidden academic genius.

It's just that Hermione's brilliance has overshadowed this fact, and many people haven't realized it.

Ron and Neville fared much worse; they were almost both in danger. Neville, at least, was good at one subject but not another; for example, he did very well in Herbology.

But if Ron doesn't work harder, there's a possibility he might have to repeat the next school year.

Of course, Ron can't be entirely blamed for this.

Just as Harry's Quidditch performance was affected by his fight with the Basilisk, Ron can also be blamed for this.

However, not every year there are basilisks to kill, so Harry and his friends won't have such a wide range of opportunities to gain extra points next year.

I just hope that the three little ones will still be smiling so happily then.

Next came the joyful dinner.

Several people completely forgot about the School Cup, and even Hermione secretly decided that she wouldn't need to work so hard next semester.

After the dinner, everyone returned to their dormitories to rest.

Dolly's dormitory wasn't as lively as before, because everyone was going to take the Hogwarts Express the next day.

When everyone met up on the Hogwarts Express the next day, the laughter and chatter returned.

"We're going to Egge for tourism."

It was Ginny who started the conversation first.

She and Luna are good friends, and since Luna was going to spend time with Dolly, Ginny naturally followed.

At first, she was a little reserved, but as everyone talked about summer vacation, Ginny couldn't contain herself anymore.

"Although it sounds incredible, my father Arthur won the annual Daily Prophet's Gold Galleon Award."

“My mother decided that the whole family would go to Egypt to visit my older brother Bill, who was working there.”

"I've heard that the most ancient magic exists there, do you know that?"

Hermione immediately began to explain how people used various raw materials and dances to cast spells in an era before they even used wands or knew spells.

In this sense, it is not unreasonable to say that potions are the oldest form of magic.

It was only later that wizards learned to control magic within their bodies, which gradually led to the magic system we have today.

"So, Harry won't be able to stay at your house for the whole summer vacation, right?"

Dolly spoke while thinking.

The Weasleys' lottery win, in a sense, meant that Harry had nowhere to go and was stuck at home.

So if Dolly is planning a family trip, she'll have to include Harry.

Hermione, realizing what Dolly had said, also looked surprised.

She could invite Dolly alone, or Dolly's parents, but if she added Harry... Although Hermione was somewhat reluctant, it would be even more inappropriate not to bring Harry along.

But if Harry is brought along, wouldn't she and Dolly have no chance to be alone when they go out to play?

Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly became somewhat sullen.

She had originally planned to take Dolly to many places to create memories for the two of them, such as the Eiffel Tower.

She knew, of course, that Dolly had been sent to France before, but she also knew that Dolly had no chance to travel in France, so she might as well take this opportunity to make up for it.

Harry, on the other side, was obviously aware of the problem as Ron was giving a long explanation of the family's madness after their father won the lottery.

That's seven hundred Galleons, almost equivalent to more than a year's salary for Arthur.

It wasn't until Ron asked, "Harry, where are you planning to go this summer?" that he realized the problem.

He said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, Harry, we can't play together this summer."

Although Ron himself wanted to bring Harry along, it was no longer up to him to decide whether or not to bring an outsider into the family.

Harry quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I should spend the summer vacation at home too."

"But I think Dolly will definitely go on a trip, won't she? She wanted to go on a trip last year but didn't have the chance."

Neville's casual remark left Harry stunned.

He knew, of course, that the Dursleys would take him on their trip.

But as Harry grew older, he became increasingly aware of one thing.

His older sister can care for and love him, but she is ultimately a girl, and it's impossible for her to play intimately with him anymore.

As a result, boys and girls no longer even sit in the same carriage.

Chapter 223 Accept Dobby.

The girl's side did not reach a definite conclusion.

Because summer vacation is quite long, everyone can go home and slowly make plans.

Generally, overseas trips last no more than two weeks, and ultimately require parental consent, so everyone is more focused on their own expectations.

However, according to Dolly's opinion, France is clearly the best option.

After all, it's France, the most romantic place.

France has not yet fallen to the status of a robbery capital, and still wields considerable influence in the fashion and trend circles.

Moreover, Dolly also approves of France.

On the one hand, it would be a chance to see Hibiscus again, and on the other hand, it would certainly make up for Dolly's regret of not having had a proper chance to sightsee before.

Amidst this lively discussion, the group arrived at King's Cross Station in London.

This time, in addition to Cho Chang's father, Dolly and Hermione's parents also came to greet everyone.

Qiu Zhang seemed somewhat disappointed; it turned out his father had flown to Italy again to discuss business.

Seeing this, Dolly simply invited Cho Chang to her home for dinner.

The Dursleys immediately welcomed him, and since Cho Chang had no relatives at home, he came to Dolly's house and enjoyed the feast that the Dursleys had prepared.

Dolly had been wondering if Cho Chang would stay overnight.

As a result, Qiu Zhang simply took his leave.

This made Dolly think that Cho Chang might still not have gotten over the low mood caused by her parents not coming to pick her up.

To be honest, Dolly has never met Cho Chang's mother.

It can only be said that compared to Dolly and Hermione's families, Cho Chang's family problems were indeed much greater.

The mother hides in the magical world and never goes out, while the father is so engrossed in business that he always neglects his family.

How much money do we have to earn before we're done?

Even if you become the richest person in Britain or the world, are there no wishes you can't fulfill or things you can't do?

Clearly, even the richest man has to succumb to power.

So, how about getting involved in power?

As a result of doing this, he might not even be able to keep his position as the richest man.

Moreover, by the time one reaches this point, one has likely already entered the latter half of their life, which has spanned several decades.

At that time, Qiu Zhang was already in his twenties or even thirties.

Looking back at everything that has happened, can Qiu Zhang's father truly be without any remorse?

Or rather, whether Qiu Zhang's father could even reach that stage is a huge impossibility.

As someone born in a major Eastern country, it's fine to be content with modest wealth in Britain, but if you really want to step into the limelight, you're unlikely to have a good outcome.

With that thought in mind, Dolly saw Qiu Zhang off.

Then, I played video games with Harry, which was a rare treat, until midnight before finally falling asleep under my parents' urging.

This time, Dolly doesn't need to worry about waking up the next morning to be dumped in France.

One reason is that Dolly had already checked and found that the magical defenses she, Dumbledore, and the Aurors had set up were still functioning normally.

On the other hand, Dolly brought the fluffy creatures back with her.
