The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Since everyone was so familiar with each other that they could entrust their lives to one another, Lin Nai didn't say anything more and instead took out the blue life gem.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhang instinctively panicked.

She was clearly thinking about that night, and couldn't help but glance at Luna beside her. Could the jaw-dropping thing Dolly had said really be so wild?

However, she soon realized that she was overthinking things.

"You might be wondering why I changed so much during the summer vacation. It's not because I used any magic potion, nor because I grew up and entered puberty... Well, that's partly true."

"Ultimately, it all comes down to this ancient magical gem, which is known as the Gem of Life."

Dolly then explained the gem's origins, its effects, and the potential dangers it might pose.

The two girls listened attentively, and Qiu Zhang also put her scattered thoughts to rest. She was second to none in terms of concentration; otherwise, she wouldn't be a top student.

"Next, I have to ask you a question."

Dolly said earnestly, "Do you want to gain greater magical power?"

"Of course, even if you don't want to fight Voldemort in the future, I will let you share this power, if you are willing."

As Qiu Zhang was still pondering, Luna smiled and said, "Using this gem will help you, right?"

"No, Luna."

Dolly said gently, "You've already helped me a lot. You don't necessarily need this kind of power to help me, but it would be better if you did."

Qiu Zhang looked at Luna in surprise, not expecting that this girl, who was a year younger than Dolly, would answer so frankly and quickly.

She had never considered Luna as a close friend of Dolly; in her eyes, Luna was more like a sidekick.

But looking at them now, could it be that something happened at a time and place I don't know about?

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhang said decisively, "Then what are we waiting for?"

If, before Dolly realizes she can consider her, her senior, as a girlfriend, and her standing next to Dolly is already lower than Luna's... Cho Chang really wouldn't know how to face this bleak youth.

"In that case, let's begin."

Dolly took a deep breath, but before it officially began, she called on Spot to take care of the three of them.

Dumbledore already knew everything about the Life Stone, so Dolly didn't need to worry about any leaks.

Why not use Dumbledore as a cleanup man?

Once the three of them were ready, Dolly held up the Life Stone and had Cho Chang and Luna place their hands together before placing the wand on the Life Stone.

Although Dolly didn't know the specific magic that used the gem, the essence of magic is the power of belief.

Dolly believed in the gem, and the gem was close to Dolly, so all that was left was to let it do its thing to improve the health of the three people around her, and that would be enough.

Dolly then gently touched the gem, and the next second, a blue halo spread out, enveloping the three of them.

The light was very faint at first, but the three of them felt a warm current flowing through them, making them feel warm and cozy.

Dolly didn't feel it very clearly yet, but Cho Chang's face turned red, as if there was an electric blanket under her feet.

As for Luna, she was even more exaggerated; her cheeks turned bright red almost instantly, and steam rose from her hair.

Dian Dian watched nervously from the side, worried that Luna would faint.

However, it was clearly worrying too much, because with Dolly around, it was impossible for Luna to get hurt right now.

Three minutes later, Dolly retrieved the gem, then held Luna in her arms and stabilized her condition with a healing spell and a cleansing spell.

"Luna, are you alright?"

Dolly asked with concern, and Luna shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, I just feel..."

"what happened?"

"...A little hungry?"

This was the first time Dolly had ever seen Luna so flustered, and she burst out laughing.

On the other side, Qiu Zhang touched her stomach. She was also a little hungry, but not as much as Luna.

"DianDian will go prepare food for the wizards right away!"

Dian Dian left the House of Requirement as quickly as she could, and returned a moment later carrying pumpkin pies and roast pork chops.

It was still shortly after dinner, and the little wizards still had plenty of food left over, enough for Dolly and her two friends to squander.

Dolly ate only a little, Cho Chang ate half a pie, and Luna exaggeratedly ate as if she had eaten another dinner.

"Don't look at me, I'm really hungry..."

Luna's shy yet enthusiastic eating prompted Dolly and Cho Chang to tease her, but it remained a good-natured joke.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Dolly said, "It looks like we can draw a conclusion for now."

Chapter 241 Lupin's Lesson.

"This gem can make our physical abilities stronger, but I don't know yet whether it will enhance our magical abilities."

"But at least for now, it seems like a good thing. At least Luna won't look so thin and weak anymore."

Dolly happily hugged Luna tightly. Luna smiled shyly, but did not resist Dolly. Instead, she snuggled up to Dolly.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhang thought for a moment and then moved closer to Dolly, sharing his feelings with the two girls.

The three of them chatted for a long time before returning to Ravenclaw together at nine o'clock in the evening.

Dolly had expected Hermione to ask her where she had been, or even to fly into a rage, but all Dolly saw was Hermione diligently scribbling and organizing her notes.

That's not surprising, after all, Hermione had at least ten classes today, and including pre-class review and post-class organization, it would take her at least 12 hours to barely finish these tasks.

Moreover, it has to be 12 hours straight. If you get distracted or lose focus, it could take 14 hours, not even counting the time for meals and travel.

Although Hermione has a time-tamper, she can only convert her free time into study time, and cannot allow herself to have more than 24 hours in a day.

So Dolly didn't disturb her and instead read a book to prepare for rest.

Hermione seemed to be waiting for this as well. After Dolly closed her eyes, she changed back into her school uniform, then hid in the closet and disappeared.

Dolly opened her eyes at that moment, glancing speechlessly at Hermione's empty bed.

She wasn't unhappy because she couldn't lie down and snuggle with Hermione, but because it was only the first day and Hermione had already sacrificed some of her sleep time.

It would be strange if she could stay healthy at this rate.

Dolly looked at the empty bed and felt an unprecedented loneliness.

He simply waved to Crookshan and the Plump, saying, "Come and keep me company."

The fluffy creatures arrived in an instant, swinging in the air, while the aloof Crookshank obediently walked over and nestled in Dolly's arms, seemingly displeased with his master's crazy antics.

Slowly, Dolly drifted off to sleep.

When she opened her eyes the next day, Hermione was still asleep in bed, not even having taken off her clothes.

Seeing this, Dolly wondered whether she should wake her up.

In the end, Dolly chose to use her wand to strip Hermione naked, then tucked her into the blankets and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

Anyway, she has a time converter; if all else fails, she can just switch back later.

Dolly would rather she sacrifice some time for previewing and organizing notes than for sleeping, since everyone is still growing.

Before leaving, Dolly secretly kissed Hermione's slightly chapped lips, as if to recoup the interest from helping her clean up the mess.

After doing all this, Dolly arrived at the restaurant, where she saw Cho Chang's puzzled look.

Where is Hermione?

"Sleeping in late."

"Is she sick?"

Sure enough, even Cho Chang couldn't understand what was going on with Hermione.

Dolly could only shrug. She couldn't bring up the time-twister, and could only say, "She wants to get full marks in all her electives this year, so she has to sacrifice her rest time, but she almost couldn't hold on on the first day."

Qiu Zhang blinked and suddenly felt that this wasn't so bad.

She, who was originally sitting opposite Dolly, went straight to Dolly's side, where Hermione's seat was originally.

To avoid making her actions seem too abrupt, she beckoned to Luna, gesturing for Luna to sit on the other side of Dolly. Then, she pulled Dolly and Luna aside and whispered, "I was still very hungry when I woke up this morning, and I feel like my magic has gotten a little stronger. What about you two?"

Dolly looked at her with some surprise and said, "I didn't get a reaction this time, but last time I felt my strength had increased a bit."

When Dolly mentioned the last time, Cho Chang's eyes couldn't help but wander again.

The thought of Hermione not being there made her instinctively move closer to Dolly.

As for Luna, she said, "I had a lot of strange dreams, and I saw a lot of strange things in them... I don't know if that counts?"

Dolly and Cho Chang laughed when they heard this, and simply handed a pile of food to Luna, saying, "From today onwards, we are the Three Rice Sisters."

As soon as Dolly finished speaking, she saw a hurried figure running over. She paused for a moment when she saw that her seat had been taken, but without thinking much about it, she ran to the other side, picked up a pie, and began to eat it heartily.

It was Hermione, who was unusually late for breakfast and didn't eat with Dolly.

Although Cho Chang had taken Hermione's place, he still cared for her, saying, "Hermione, elective courses don't count towards your grade, so you don't need to work so hard, and you shouldn't let them interfere with your life."

Hermione simply said calmly, "I can do it. I have a secret weapon."

Then he looked at Dolly with a strange expression.

As for Dolly, after looking at Hermione for a few seconds, she realized that this was not the Hermione who had just woken up, but the Hermione who had returned at some unknown time that day.

This left Dolly unsure how to start a conversation with her, so she remained silent.

However, Hermione didn't keep Dolly embarrassed for long. She finished the fight in just five minutes and ran away in a hurry.

This scene surprised Luna, who said, "Won't she get an upset stomach like that?"

"Whatever."

Dolly sighed. It was Hermione's choice, and she really had no right to interfere.

Hopefully, Hermione will realize soon that doing this is completely counterproductive.

Afterwards, the three girls finished breakfast, went for a walk together, and then went their separate ways to attend their respective classes.
