The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Voldemort won; he will become an important minister under the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord lost; he was merely a victim of the Imperius Curse, and he simply paid a fine to settle the matter.

In contrast, Malfoy's gullibility stemmed from a misplaced sense of self-confidence, which led to him being swindled out of hundreds of Galleons by Dolly and Harry – pure folly.

Early Monday morning, Malfoy arrived at the restaurant with a dark face and ate his meal in a sullen mood.

Almost every long table in the college cast strange glances at him, as if anticipating Malfoy's performance.

Harry and Ron, on the other hand, were all smiles. They didn't think Malfoy would definitely give them a Nimbus 2000, since that broom wasn't cheap.

But if Malfoy really goes back on his word, Harry and Ron can use this to mock Malfoy for seven years, which would be a huge win for them.

With a series of flapping sounds, the owls began delivering letters and gifts to the young wizards once again.

Dolly and Hermione also received replies to their letters to their families, and Dolly's gift was delivered by two owls working together.

Because Vernon followed Dolly's advice, he opened a stock exchange account and invested several thousand pounds in Cato Corporation in the United States.

Vernon originally didn't intend to make money; it was just a hobby based on his daughter's advice. However, in less than a month, his profits increased by more than 30%.

This gave Vernon hope of making money and also made him more convinced of his precious daughter's talent.

He then invested half of his savings, about £50,000, into it, and also bought Dolly a whole bunch of Muggle snacks.

Dolly even spotted cola and potato chips in them, which made her eyes light up.

Dolly has such a natural talent for not gaining weight, it would be a disservice not to rave about junk food!

Of course, Dolly wouldn't keep it all to herself; she would share it with Hermione as well.

Just as Dolly was about to feed Hermione potato chips by hand and feel the warmth of Hermione's lips with her fingers, a series of exclamations rang out.

An owl carrying a flying broom slipped through the window and looked in Harry's direction.

This instantly attracted everyone's attention, and Harry and Ron were even more dumbfounded. Could it be that Malfoy really gave Harry a Nimbus 2000?

Finally, the owl tossed the flying broomstick onto Harry's head, and Harry quickly stood up to catch it.

A large crowd gathered around, and Ron excitedly said, "Open it quickly and see if it's real."

Harry quickly untied the ropes, and Ron and Neville helped tear open the packaging. The next second, a work of art that looked many times more sophisticated than the tattered brooms in the school appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Nimbus 2000 is made of mahogany, with a smooth and shiny surface and a beautiful reddish-brown color. The top of the broom handle is also decorated with a gold-stamped registration number.

Its broom tip is small and slender, straight, neat and elegant, and has a deep dark brown color, which helps to improve balance and precision.

Overall, just like its name suggests, this broom is designed for speed and agility, making it the perfect broom for Harry, the Seeker.

"It really is a Nimbus 2000!"

Ron screamed, and the entire Gryffindor table erupted in screams.

Ron even stood on a chair and said to Malfoy in the distance, "Malfoy, you're great. I admit you keep your word. You're a friend of Gryffindor forever... no, not this year, not even before our two teams play!"

Ron's words, though seemingly a compliment, were actually a deep mockery.

As the most senior member of the Slytherin family, Malfoy became friends with Gryffindor and sponsored Gryffindor's Seeker with a Nimbus 2000. Isn't this betraying his own house?

So much so that the Slytherin Quidditch team members started looking at Malfoy differently.

Although Malfoy's face was grim, he remained silent, but his eyes gleamed as if he were expecting something.

"Come on, Harry, let's go for a flight!"

Ron grabbed Harry's arm and tried to run outside, but Harry hesitated and asked, "Is it okay now?"

“Nothing is impossible, Harry,” said Oliver Wood, the current captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. “Anyone can experience the joy of flying, as long as it’s on the grass outside the castle and there are no flying lessons or Quidditch training.”

As for why relatively few people fly brooms, the answer is simple: most people don't have their own flying brooms.

The simplest flying broomsticks aren't expensive, and many families can afford them, but just as Muggle families wouldn't let their children bring their own motorcycles to school, wizards wouldn't easily allow their children to bring their own flying broomsticks to school.

Harry grinned and excitedly ran out.

When most of the Gryffindor onlookers had left, Malfoy suddenly burst out laughing.

Dolly didn't go with them because she was still organizing her bags of snacks. As for her brother's performance, she figured there would be plenty of time to watch the Quidditch matches later, so there was no rush.

Malfoy's soft chuckle undoubtedly caught her attention.

Malfoy realized something was wrong and continued to eat with his head down, pretending to be dead.

But Dolly had a bad feeling and turned to go outside to see what was happening with Harry.

But then they heard a gasp from outside. By the time Dolly and Hermione ran out, Oliver was already carrying the unconscious and broken-armed Harry on his back, running towards the school hospital.

"what happened?"

Dolly's face turned pale, and Ron was so angry that his eyes turned red. He shouted, "That bastard Malfoy tampered with the new broom!"

"Harry had just accelerated when the broom broke off at the end, and the break was hidden inside the broom's tail that we didn't see!"

"He did it on purpose! He got his dad to do something bad, to try and kill Harry!"

After saying that, Ron stormed into the restaurant, intending to give Malfoy a good beating.

At this point, Malfoy stopped pretending and laughed loudly, ordering his men to stop Ron while denying what had just happened.

"What does it have to do with me if Harry Potter's skills are lacking?"

"He broke the broom himself, how can you blame me for that?"

“Let me tell you, red-haired beetroot, my father just placed an order with the manufacturer, and then the order was sent directly to you. The brooms never even reached our hands. Who knows what really happened?”

"Even if Harry didn't break it himself, maybe the owl did?"

"Even if Harry was unlucky and got a defective product, you can't blame us!"

Malfoy's face turned fierce. He said, "If you keep talking nonsense and insulting our family, I'll have my father report you to the Ministry of Magic, and then I'll make your stupid old man lose his job."

"Let's see how your family with so many beetroot extracts will survive then!"

Ron's momentum immediately softened.

He may be able to talk tough and win when things are going well, but if he were to actually face Malfoy, he would definitely be no match for him.

Malfoy surpasses Ron in both talent and family background. It is likely that only when Ron grows up and overcomes his inferiority complex will he be able to truly fight Malfoy one-on-one.

However, Ron knew he couldn't win, but he still had backup.

He looked at Dolly, his eyes filled with a pleading look.

Malfoy naturally saw Dolly as well, and his eyes immediately became somewhat flustered, but he still maintained a confident smile despite his tough exterior.

Many people also turned their attention to Dolly, clearly wanting to see what Harry's sister would do.

Although Dolly hadn't shown much brilliance these days, everyone inexplicably believed that if this girl were to make a move, it would definitely be extraordinary.

Neville also ran over at this moment, dragging the Nimbus 2000.

"Dolly, here's a broom. I don't know if it'll be useful, but I brought it for you anyway."

Dolly nodded to Neville and said, "Thank you, Neville, it was really helpful."

She picked up the broom and carefully examined the tail. Although the tail looked like a natural break, the marks were very fresh, with no signs of secondary damage.

However, Dolly still discovered the problem: the tear didn't quite match up.

If it were a break, most of the burrs should be able to fit together, but here the breaks are missing about the thickness of a sheet of paper.

Clearly, it must have been sawed open by some means and then temporarily glued back together by some force, with the tear being covered by the broom tail.

The person who did this was no ordinary murderer. He was clearly very familiar with flying brooms, and while he could sabotage the flying brooms without being discovered, he could also ensure that the performance of the flying brooms was not damaged.

It would only break down under extreme acceleration, which means that even if Malfoy and Lucius wanted to do such a thing, they couldn't.

But did they really not do this?

No, it's still them, they just didn't do it themselves.

Of course, they wouldn't admit it if Dolly asked them that.

So Dolly didn't intend to ask them who the murderer was. Instead, she said, "Malfoy, I'll ask you a question. If you answer obediently, I'll admit that Harry was just unlucky."

Malfoy had been prepared to argue with Dolly, but when he heard that Dolly wanted Harry to accept his bad luck, he laughed smugly and said, "Go ahead and ask."

"It's simple. Are you sure this broom was bought for Harry by your family, and that it wasn't handled by anyone else, but was delivered directly from the company, right?"

Malfoy nodded, proudly raising his chin, and said, "That's right, that's exactly it."

“Very good, everyone has heard it. There are at least a hundred people here, including those from the four colleges, and they are all witnesses.”

Dolly smiled dismissively and said, "Malfoy, you've won. You can laugh out loud now."

Chapter 72, second update. Does anyone understand this?

Dolly tried to make Malfoy laugh, but Malfoy didn't.

He even stared at Dolly's hands and couldn't help but say, "Dursley, are you planning to hit someone again? You're always swinging your stupid fists at Hogwarts. Can't you use magic?"

Of course, after saying that, he retreated into the Slytherin camp.

There are more than twenty Slytherins now, including many upperclassmen, so Dolly wouldn't succeed even if she swung her fist.

Dolly, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to throw a punch at this moment; she would definitely cherish the generous gift that Malfoy had offered her.

So Dolly turned and left, no longer wanting to waste words with Malfoy, and went to the school hospital to check on Harry's condition.

Malfoy was left standing there dumbfounded until Dolly's figure disappeared at the restaurant door, at which point he burst into laughter again, declaring himself the victor.

The Slytherin students also showered him with praise, showing no shame whatsoever for Malfoy's methods.

As many have summarized, Slytherin's character is all about winning and has a relatively weak sense of morality.

Of course, not every Slytherin is like this, but given the general environment, the vast majority of Slytherins chose to follow suit.

Dolly arrived at the school hospital soon.

Harry had regained consciousness, but his arm was bandaged and his face was rather pale.

When everyone saw Dolly arrive, they immediately made way for her.

Dolly sat in the chair by the bed and asked, "Harry, are you alright?"

Harry nodded slightly and said, "Sister, I'm fine."
