The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Dolly simply started reading the history of magic as a storybook, and planned to get a library card with Hermione as soon as possible.

After all, there are still some books like novels in the library.

However, just as the two of them were getting sleepy and preparing to go to sleep, a gentle knock sounded on the door.

Dolly and Hermione looked at each other, this was the first time someone had ever knocked on their door.

Dolly, unlike Hermione, wouldn't have absolutely no interaction with the girls in her grade.

Lisa Dupin, Mandy Brohe, and Morag McDougal, three other girls in the dorm, were already familiar with Dolly, though Dolly spent more time with Hermione.

They weren't familiar enough to knock on doors and visit each other yet, and with Hermione around, who had an aura that kept strangers at bay, they didn't dare to come in.

"Who?"

Dolly asked, but Hermione only glanced at her curiously and didn't pay much attention.

But the sound coming from outside the door made her sit up immediately.

"It's me, Cho Chang. Dolly, are you free? Am I bothering you now?"

"What is she here for?"

Hermione mouthed something to Dolly, her expression clearly unhappy.

"Isn't that exactly what I wanted to ask?"

Dolly mouthed the same thing, then said, "I'm here. Hermione and I aren't asleep yet. What's up?"

Actually, I wanted to ask if you're free tomorrow.

Hermione answered without hesitation, "I'll go with Dolly to get library cards tomorrow."

Hermione initially thought this was a polite refusal, but Cho Chang continued, "And then what?"

"Uh……"

Hermione was a little annoyed and wanted to tell Dolly that she was never available, but she could only look at Dolly and hope that Dolly could also refuse Cho Chang.

But Dolly got up and went to the door, wanting to open it.

In her desperation, Hermione threw Crookshank at her, hoping he would intervene and stop Dolly.

Crookshank did a somersault in the air and landed steadily on all fours. He looked at Hermione, then at Dolly, and finally chose to crawl under the bed and not come out.

Yes, it will hide for one night.

"traitor!"

Hermione muttered something and could only watch as Dolly opened the door, while she herself rolled to the side to face the other side of the wall.

Dolly opened the door anyway. Cho Chang was a little surprised to see Dolly open the door, but then a warm and happy smile appeared on his face. However, he then looked at Hermione with concern.

"Miss Granger is already asleep? Then it seems I've disturbed you."

"It's okay, I'll apologize to her in a bit."

Dolly picked up the conversation, asking, "Is there something you need?"

"I want to participate in the Quidditch selection tomorrow, and I hope you can be there... In return, if there's anything you'd like to learn or know this weekend, I'll answer it to the best of my ability."

This was the best reward Cho Chang could come up with, since it was impossible to buy someone a gift or treat them to a meal at Hogwarts.

"I can agree to that, but I need to go and get a library card with Hermione first."

"Okay, great."

Cho Chang's face lit up with a delighted smile, because she had never revealed her fondness for Quidditch before, and her friends even thought that Cho Chang's flying skills were just average.

This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for an Asian girl who wants to take the first step and show her talent.

If Dolly were here with us, that would be perfect.

"Thank you, Dolly."

Qiu Zhang thanked her softly, but as if that wasn't enough to express his gratitude to Dolly, he leaned closer to her and said gently, "Thank you so much. You're my best friend."

Dolly smiled and said, "Now that you know I'm your best friend, remember to give me a hug next time you thank me."

"Good, good."

Cho Chang was somewhat surprised, but remembering how Dolly and Hermione often hugged, he nodded in agreement.

Perhaps this is just the passionate nature of the British!

The two waved goodbye, and Dolly gently closed the door, just as Hermione's voice came from behind them.

Why do you have such an ugly smile?

Dolly looked at Hermione, unaware that Hermione had turned around at some point.

His face showed an unhappy expression, and he felt even more upset when he saw Dolly's appearance.

Does Dolly really need to make more friends?

Dolly smiled and went to Hermione's bedside, where she sat down.

Hermione angrily kicked Dolly's bottom, but Dolly grabbed it and started tickling Hermione's soles.

This made Hermione jump up as if she had been electrocuted, and she threw a pillow at Dolly's body. Dolly caught the pillow and laughed, then threw it back, and even started playing with her own pillow as if it were a cannonball.

So the two of them had a silent pillow fight until Hermione couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Dolly finally stopped.

Seeing that Dolly was about to sit back on her bed, Hermione kicked Dolly's bottom again and said, "Go back to your bed, I'm going to sleep."

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Humph."

"You forgot that Senior Qiu Zhang promised to teach us second-year courses? Don't you want to learn?"

"I heard that Senior Qiu Zhang has excellent grades in Potions."

In fact, Cho Chang did well in all her courses, which is to be expected of a smart Asian.

Hermione was immediately smitten.

She also wanted to brew potions for Dolly, but potions are not something you can brew just by reading books.

If someone can teach you step by step, everything will go much more smoothly.

“Wait a minute,” Hermione suddenly realized, “why did you bring up Potions?”

"Yes, that's why I brought up Potions."

Dorira raised her voice, sounding somewhat sarcastic.

Hermione felt her cheeks burning and said, "Who knows, maybe I just happen to be interested."

Dolly didn't press the issue, saying, "Anyway, you're not angry anymore, right?"

"Besides, tomorrow is the weekend, and the lawn will be open. We can take this opportunity to play with flying brooms for a while. Aren't you interested?"

Hermione was clearly tempted; riding a flying broomstick with Dolly last time was a very enjoyable experience.

"Okay, I agree."

Hermione relented, and Dolly sat back down on her bedside.

Hermione tried to kick him again, but Dolly was quicker and lay down next to Hermione this time.

"I want to sleep, what are you doing?"

Hermione shoved Dolly, who said, "Can't I read with you for a while?"

"Just a moment."

"Uh-huh."

Hermione then opened the Potions book in her hand, placed it between the two of them, and patiently flipped through it little by little.

Dolly didn't return to her own bed until the two of them could no longer keep their eyes open, and she slept soundly until dawn.

By the time the two of them finished breakfast, got their library cards, and arrived on the grass, it was almost ten o'clock.

However, it wasn't too late, because Cho Chang was still pretending to be a spectator watching the Quidditch players train from a distance.

Chapter 69, Part 2: Quidditch Registration

Dolly came to Cho Chang's side, and Cho Chang breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior.

I wanted to say something, but when I saw Hermione, I shut my mouth again.

Seeing this, Hermione crossed her arms and said, "I can't possibly leave, can I? Don't worry, Dolly really wants to help you, and I can't just fall out with her over this, can I?"

After she finished speaking, Hermione sat down first.

Although he was clearly not very interested, he still showed his sincerity.

Cho Chang breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to Hermione with a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, Hermione. It's not that I don't welcome you, but I feel guilty for interrupting your time with Dolly."

Hermione nodded and said no more, which was taken as acceptance.

Dolly then asked, "Why aren't you going over yet? If it's just a selection process, it should be easy to pass, right?"

Quidditch is a very popular sport at Hogwarts, and many people want to sign up for it.

However, each college only has about a hundred students from the first year to the seventh year combined, and students from the fifth year onwards are busy with their studies and thus leave the team.

There are at most fifty or sixty students left in grades one through five, but compared to other houses, it's not easy to find someone in Ravenclaw who loves sports.

Even fewer people want to sign up for Quidditch, and often it's a problem to even put together a team.

In other words, as long as Qiu Zhang signs up and passes the test on a flying broomstick, she will immediately become a substitute team member, and even the captain will worry that she will run away.

Judging from the original work, Qiu Zhang's skills are basically flawless, so it's a foregone conclusion that he would become a key player after a period of training.

The only thing stopping Qiu Zhang from moving forward was her courage to break with convention.

"I just feel..."

Qiu Zhang pressed his hands tightly together, clamping them between his knees, his face radiating tension.

"No, I don't care what you think."

Dolly interrupted Cho Chang's hesitation, reaching out to grasp his wrist and saying, "I'll tell you what I think."
