The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

This time, Akio looked intently at Dolly.

Although there was obvious fear and unease in his eyes, there was even more anticipation.

Dolly abandoned her instinctive attempt to bluff her way out of it and asked, "Did you kiss me, Cho?"

Cho Chang nodded slightly, then answered more seriously, "Yes, I kissed you," to prevent Dolly from misunderstanding.

"So, is this dessert before dinner, an early April Fool's joke, or another Dementor attack? Are you lacking in happiness?"

Dolly listed several reasons, as if she still wanted to escape.

Qiu Zhang's gaze sharpened slightly, and finally she made a decision.

She kissed him again, their warm, moist, and sweet lips meeting, without any further movement.

Even so, Dolly and Cho Chang felt as if an electric current was surging through their hearts, and they were certain that they could perfectly unleash Patronus at that moment.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Qiu Zhang's breathing became slightly rapid.

However, seeing that Dolly didn't reject her and looked shy but happy, she happily took Dolly's hand.

"Guess again. If you guess wrong, I will punish you."

"Punishment, does it mean kissing me?"

"Hmm... how about we say it's a reward?"

"It's strange that I'm being rewarded for guessing wrong."

“Miss Dursley, please stop interrupting! You know what I’m going to say, do you really have to force me to say it?”

"But how am I supposed to know what you're going to say if you don't tell me?"

Qiu Zhang glared at Dolly, who smiled mischievously.

She didn't want to always be the one on the defensive when she was dealing with Qiu Zhang; she had to regain some initiative.

Of course, a back-and-forth exchange is needed to boost the popularity of both individuals, so Dolly reserved the opportunity to take the initiative for Cho Chang.

"I understand."

Qiu Zhang took a deep breath, then pulled out a gift box from somewhere. Inside was a ring.

Moreover, the words "Intelligence +1" are prominently displayed on the ring.

It's another magical item, and a ring at that; the implications are self-evident.

"Dolly, I..."

Just as Cho Chang was about to confess her love like in the movies, Dolly stopped her and instead gave her a kiss.

Dolly naturally wouldn't reject Cho Chang's confession, but showing off the ring now was really going too far. They were still just students, and it wouldn't be too late to do this after graduation.

Moreover, the question of who is responsible for delivering the ring needs to be carefully considered and discussed before a final conclusion can be reached.

Dolly doesn't mind appearing weak and easy to bully when playing games, but she essentially wants to be in control of everything, otherwise she really can't face the three of them at the same time.

So, after Cho Chang was kissed by Dolly and completely lost his composure, Dolly took the ring and put it on Cho Chang's finger instead.

Qiu Zhang then came to his senses and realized what had happened. He looked at Dolly with some confusion. Dolly smiled and said, "Keep the magical equipment for yourself. As for me, the jewelry you gave me is enough."

"I can't wear it at school, can I? And if I actually wear it now, I won't be able to get past my parents and family tomorrow."

Qiu Zhang chuckled, realizing that Dolly's words made a lot of sense; her preparations were a bit too radical.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Qiu Zhang will not be bound by formalities.

Then, Cho Chang recalled what Dolly had just said, and the thought that her parents and Dolly's parents might object made her feel like the happiness she had just gained was about to vanish, and she began to feel anxious again.

Then she looked at Dolly eagerly and said, "So, we're a couple now, right?"

"Aren't you guilty of being so blunt?"

Dolly looked at Cho Chang with curiosity. If she hadn't witnessed Cho Chang's many changes firsthand, she probably would have thought that the Cho Chang in front of her was an imposter compared to the Cho Chang in the original story.

"All I know is that if I don't make things clear now, the men and women of Hogwarts might all come and try to take you away."

"I'm not confident I can beat so many people."
