The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

The next morning, when the two woke up, they saw a mountain of gifts.

The two exchanged a glance and then became engrossed in unwrapping their gifts with great enthusiasm.

This process is always exciting.

Dolly received mostly gifts that were sentimental, such as candy; she rarely mentioned clothes, books, or daily necessities.

The most noteworthy items are naturally the gifts given by Luna and Cho Chang.

Luna's gift was very eye-catching; it was a huge wooden structure.

At first, Dolly was a little confused, but she understood after opening it.

The image above was actually a portrait of her, but it wasn't Dolly's current appearance; it was what Dolly would look like when she grew up.

She has lost some of her naivety and gained more elegance; she is beautiful and poised, and her emerald green eyes seem to be able to captivate the soul.

Hermione also discovered Luna's gift. Upon opening it, she saw a painting of herself dressed elegantly and gracefully in an evening gown, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Luna can actually draw?"

"Of course, I just didn't know she was such a good painter."

Dolly exclaimed in amazement that Luna already possessed a talent for drawing in the original story, and now that talent seems even stronger.

Moreover, this gift cannot be measured by simple value, but it is priceless to those who like it, truly a gift in line with Luna's style.

Why is my drawing board a bit thicker than Hermione's?

Dolly realized something was wrong and instinctively pushed the easel, and then the picture changed.

Dolly transformed into Luna, still possessing that mysterious, beautiful, and elfin-like face. However, her eyes were no longer lost and vacant; instead, they seemed to have seen something she loved most, revealing a gentle and joyful smile.

Dolly was stunned. Wasn't this the Luna she had met in her dreams?

But why would she give herself a self-portrait as well? Was it a mistake or...?

Dolly couldn't help but recall the intimacy of that night; was it a dream or...?

"Wow!"

Hermione's exclamation brought Dolly back to her senses.

It turned out that Hermione had already opened Cho Chang's gift, and it was indeed visibly luxurious.

Hermione's gift was a pearl bracelet, with pearls nearly one centimeter in size and even different colors, clearly worth a fortune.

Hermione forced herself to look away and looked at Dolly, saying, "This should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Dolly knew what Hermione wanted to say; for a junior wizard, receiving such a gift was far too extravagant.

"It would definitely be worth a lot of money in the Muggle world, but in the magical world... you know, magic."

Dolly blinked and tried to explain.

After all, Hermione understood the principles of pearl formation and immediately realized that using magic to catalyze pearl formation should be feasible.

But she said, unwilling to give up, "Let me see yours."

"it is good."

Dolly didn't hesitate and opened the gift that Qiu Zhang had given her; it turned out to be a gemstone bracelet.

Hermione then realized that Dolly was right: "It is indeed very valuable in the Muggle world, but commonplace in the magical world."

It's worth noting that Hogwarts uses gems as a scoring tool for several houses, which shows that gems are indeed not very popular in the magical world.

After all, it's not difficult for wizards to conjure up some colorful stones.

"Then I'll accept it. Let me see what Dolly gave me?"

Hermione picked up the conversation, rummaging through the gifts Dolly had given her, and finally opened one, frowning and saying, "So ugly..."

Before her was a wizard's body made of a rather strange material, with a faint leather-like texture to the touch, making it seem somewhat out of place compared to a typical wizard's body.

Most importantly, its color is not a solid color or pattern, but rather an uneven color that looks somewhat dirty.

"That's too harsh, Hermione! This dragonskin long coat was made for you by someone I personally commissioned!"

"I knew it! Why did you have to send something like this!"

"Of course, it's for everyone's safety."

Dolly asserted that they might encounter a real dark wizard next.

The idea for the dragon skin was Dolly's, and she commissioned a fairy craftsman to make it.

Although the result was rough, Dolly saw the words "magical protection ability" on it, which shows that its existence was not insignificant.

At least for high-level spells that are not extremely lethal, this kind of spell can temporarily withstand one or two attacks.

"If you think it looks really bad, I can have the craftsmen wrap it in another fabric."

Dolly didn’t deny that the long hair was ugly, because it hadn’t been fully decorated in time.

"Okay, I accept. Thank you, Dolly."

Hermione only complained about how ugly it was; she still really liked the gift itself.

Last year Dolly gave a wand; this year, Dolly gives Him a long wand.

Dolly's desire to protect them remained unchanged, and Hermione couldn't possibly refuse her kindness.

Dolly also put down Luna's portrait, and then found that after leaving her hand, the portrait turned into her likeness again.

Dolly realized something and tested herself, confirming that Luna's portrait would only appear when she made certain special touches.

This……

Dolly's heart pounded. Was Luna hinting at something?

She actually knew about Dolly's dream, or maybe it wasn't a dream at all that day?

"Dolly, stop being so narcissistic. We should go have breakfast after we're done dismantling it."

Hermione urged him on while eating her chocolate.

Although there was enough candy in front of her to last her for half a month, Hermione, as the daughter of a dentist, still wouldn't allow herself to eat candy as a meal.

"Good good."

Dolly stopped thinking about it. In any case, no matter how much she guessed, Dolly was not going to confess to Luna now, so she decided to just pretend that this had never happened.

When the two finished unwrapping their gifts and arrived at the main hall, they found a large crowd gathered around the Gryffindor dining table, exclaiming in surprise.

"Harry, you have to let me try this!"

Ron's voice was full of surprise, while Neville said somewhat warily, "Harry, at least we should ask who gave it to us, and it's too dangerous. I remember it can reach speeds of 150 miles per hour."

"Please, it can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds and brake like magic!"

Ron's voice was still full of sighs.

He had initially thought that he and Neville had received Dolly's new wand, and after trying it out, he found that the wand was three to five times better than his brother's old wand, which was enough to make him happy.

Harry ended up receiving the latest model of Firebolt!

Firebolt is a brand that has just emerged this year. As soon as it appeared, it surpassed the original Nimbus and Sweep series. Its unprecedented speed and limited release have made it the hottest brand in the Quidditch world.

Dolly couldn't help but marvel at the speed of 150 miles per hour.

150 miles per hour is roughly equivalent to 240 kilometers per hour.

What kind of good guardian would give a 13, no, almost 14-year-old child a gift like this, riding a vehicle that can travel at 240 kilometers per hour?

That's right, this fire bolt was undoubtedly a gift from Sirius Black.

As the heir to the Black family, Sirius Black theoretically possessed a vast fortune, but he simply never cared about it.

Sending the fire bolt now is most likely an attempt to curry favor with Harry and prepare for their eventual recognition of each other.

Harry was clearly pleased, and upon seeing Dolly, he couldn't help but ask loudly, "Sister, did you give this to me?"

"No."

Dolly walked over to the broom, drawing everyone's attention.

Its broom handle is made of fine ash wood, with a streamlined and exquisite shape. It is treated with a polishing agent as hard as diamond and has a registration number hand-engraved.

Even if Dolly wasn't a Quidditch player, she had to admit that the broom was a work of art, like seeing the most luxurious and beautiful handcrafted car in her past life.

So Dolly didn't want to spoil Harry's fun. After briefly testing her wand, she said, "There shouldn't be any curses on it. As for who gave it to you, Harry, you'll have to investigate that yourself."

Harry nodded, excitedly picked up his broom and went out to test fly it. Most of the onlookers followed suit, all eager to see the splendor of this luxury car.

Cho Chang was left with a hint of envy, while Dolly gave her a push and said, "Go if you want to, I'll give you one next Christmas too."

Qiu Zhang saw the bracelet on Dolly's wrist and smiled happily.

Obviously, compared to the bracelet she gave me last year, a bracelet is much easier to wear.

She nodded and ran out as well, while Dolly lazily sat down in her seat next to Luna.

Then, she winked at Luna and gave her a knowing smile.

Luna, who had been a little nervous, smiled shyly upon seeing this, realizing that the special painting she had given to Dolly had been well received by Dolly.

She is indeed still a long way from growing up, but that doesn't stop Dolly from seeing her grown-up self every day now.

As for what will happen between the two of them... Didn't Dolly just blink mean she understands everything?

The somewhat noisy morning quickly came to an end, and everyone boarded the train back home.

As the express started moving, Dolly clearly saw Sirius Black, the big black dog, reappear in the shadows.

Sirius was originally looking for Harry, but ended up finding Dolly instead. The two stared at each other, but this time the atmosphere was different.

In particular, Dorina's seemingly all-knowing gaze made Sirius inexplicably uneasy.

Does she already know everything?

She simply marveled at Sirius's incredible courage.
