The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Chapter 240 Enhancement, Activation!

For example, announcing your sexual orientation to me in front of all the students?

Dolly wanted to say that, but she didn't dare.

After all, there's only one chance, and Dolly wouldn't waste it.

Dolly then asked, "You seem to have more free time this year, so is there anything else you'd like to do?"

Qiu Zhang blinked, thought for a few seconds, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and then said, "How about I spend more time with you this year?"

"After all, Hermione is likely to be very busy this year."

Dolly was stunned, never expecting Cho Chang to say such a thing.

She thought Qiu Zhang would focus on studying or experiencing things.

After all, he's given up his favorite game of Quidditch, shouldn't he use his free time to do something more important?

Or is it that she is actually the most important person?

Dolly's face flushed slightly at the thought.

Just as she was about to ask what Qiu Zhang really meant.

But then a boy strode over.

"Hi, Cho Jang."

Dolly recognized the visitor; it was Cedric.

It wasn't because of his appearance, but because Cedric was a popular star who was a year older than Cho Chang.

Although he doesn't have the academic advantage and exotic charm of Cho Chang, as a Quidditch player, handsome, and a warm-hearted Hufflepuff, it's hard for him not to be famous.

Dolly still has a good impression of Cedric from the original movie.

After all, he was a man with a strong sense of justice, a worthy adversary in Harry's eyes, and he died young.

But now...

Dolly's eyes narrowed as she watched him call Qiu Zhang's name.

No matter how outstanding he is, if he were to compete with Dolly for Cho Chang, Dolly would not like him.

As for fair competition, that's impossible.

Dolly is a girl, and she's petty!

"Miss Dursley, you're here too."

Cedric was poised and confident, showing none of the awkwardness that many people have when facing the opposite sex.

Instead, she calmly said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to speak with Ms. Qiu Zhang alone for a few minutes, is that alright?"

Dolly shook her head and said, "Is there anything we can't say here? Qiu and I are best friends who can talk about anything."

Cedric was slightly taken aback, not expecting Dolly to say such a thing.

Normally, shouldn't we all politely step aside?

However, his smile remained unchanged, and he looked at Qiu Zhang instead.

If Qiu Zhang agrees, then he won't care.

For some reason, Qiu Zhang laughed and said, "Digori, just say what you want to say."

"We don't have to avoid talking to my friends, do we?"

Hearing what Cho Chang said, Dolly's lips curled up slightly.

As Akio held Dolly's hand, he seemed to sense the change in Dolly's heartbeat and smiled even more happily.

Cedric nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Zhang."

"It's a bit late to say this now, but are you really going to quit the Quidditch team this year?"

"Our academy has upgraded its equipment, and we want to have another big battle with you this year, and even take revenge and compete for first place."

"Without you, Ravenclaw's strength will decline significantly, which is not a good thing for your school."

"I believe you really enjoy Quidditch, don't you?"

Looking at Cedric's earnest words, Dolly suddenly understood how they got together in the original story.

It's probably because of Quidditch.

Although the Hufflepuff Quidditch team wasn't very good, that didn't stop them from having more opportunities to learn about Cedric and Cho Chang through Quidditch.

Given Cedric's excellence, it's only natural that Cho Chang would acknowledge him.

But, things are different now.

The first person to talk to Cho Chang about Quidditch was Dolly!

Cho Chang did not answer Cedric immediately.

Leaving the Quidditch team was indeed a difficult choice for her.

Whether based on personal preference or to fight for the honor of the college, she had no reason to quit the Quidditch team.

In fact, at this point in the original story, Cho Chang had no intention of quitting Quidditch at all.

After all, Cedric, who was a year older than Cho Chang, wanted to get revenge on the Quidditch pitch.

But there are still many different things here.

For example, Cho Chang has things he likes and wants to fight for more than Quidditch.

Her name is Dolly.

Although Cho Chang could pretend he could manage both, the entire past year proved that while he was enrolled in elective courses and participating in Quidditch training, he had practically no time to spend with Dolly.

As for honors...

Cho Chang slowly opened his mouth and said, "Diggory, our Ravenclaws have narrowly lost to Gryffindor for two consecutive years, and it will most likely be the same this year."

"While you could call it a coincidence, I don't think it is."

"I don't want to end up disappointed again, so I'll just give the honor to Gryffindor."

"As for Quidditch, my absence from the game doesn't mean I've stopped liking Quidditch."

"As a viewer and enthusiast, I will not stay away from Quidditch."

Cho Chang's words startled Cedric.

His expression turned somewhat troubled. As a young wizard with a sense of justice, it was impossible for him to say that he had no objection to Gryffindor winning the House Cup for two consecutive years.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Dumbledore's extra points for Gryffindor are not quite right.

But as a Hufflepuff, he couldn't possibly complain about it much; talking behind someone's back was the behavior he couldn't tolerate.

Finally, after a few seconds of hesitation, he could only say, "But if you're not on the field, isn't that a waste of your youth?"

"I quit the Quidditch team because I didn't want to waste my youth."

"Diggory, don't ask. That's a girl's private matter."

Cedric was speechless.

Since Qiu Zhang had already said that, he could only shut up, apologize to the two of them for disturbing them, and leave dejectedly.

Dolly and Cho Chang remained silent for a long time as they watched him leave.

Dolly was just treating Cedric as an enemy, and now Cedric is...out of the game?

Of course, Dolly knew.

It's perfectly normal for relationships to have ups and downs.

Cho Chang is currently ignoring Cedric, but who knows when she might have different thoughts?

Dolly must continue to keep a close watch.

Qiu Zhang glanced at Dolly out of the corner of his eye and saw that Dolly was lost in thought, which gave him a headache.

She said she wanted to do something more youthful than participating in Quidditch, so why didn't Dolly Teresa react at all?

Does she really have to push Dolly down and force a kiss before she'll understand?

Unwilling to give up, Qiu Zhang brought up the topic again, saying, "You still haven't answered me, what exactly is something that will make your jaw drop?"

"You really want to know?"

"That's the question you asked me, Dolly. These kinds of questions are annoying."

"All right……"

"Let's find a suitable time and invite Luna so the three of us can go together."

Qiu Zhang narrowed his eyes in confusion. Why did he have to invite Luna as well?

Isn't she enough on her own...? Well, Qiu Zhang calmed down and realized he was overthinking things.

It's clearly a bit too hasty for Dolly to say something like "she loves me" right now.

However, as she just said, she has a whole year to take her time and be patient.

Then, the two of them leaned against each other under the shade of the tree to read and study.

Neither of them were study fanatics like Hermione, but as students, studying in their spare time was their duty; otherwise, they had nothing else to do.

After dinner, Hermione was still studying in the hall when Dolly said goodbye and told her she was going back to her dorm.

Hermione had no suspicions. Dolly didn't have as many elective courses as her, nor was she the type to enjoy studying, so naturally she couldn't stay put forever.

She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Cho Chang and Luna also disappeared, and the three of them reunited and soon arrived at the House of Requirement.

Dolly then opened the Room of Requirement, but this time she didn't enter the workshop; instead, she entered a spacious room.

The walls shimmered with a soft light, the ceiling was so high that the top was almost invisible, ancient magic bookshelves stood in the corners, and in the center was a huge circular open space covered with a soft carpet.

"Alright, let's do it together."

Dolly waved and led the two girls to sit down on the carpet in the middle.
