The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Qiu Zhang then realized what had happened and quickly moved away a little. He then looked Dolly up closely and said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you somewhere. I can rub it for you."

"If it's a physical discomfort, I can accompany you to the school clinic."

Seeing Qiu Zhang's nervous expression, Dolly smiled smugly, but quickly composed herself to prevent herself from getting carried away, saying, "Alright, Qiu, I'm really not that fragile."

“If I really get to the point where I have to go to the hospital so easily, Mrs. Pomfrey will definitely not let me leave my bedside.”

"It's just that my illness is a bit... random, like the magical outbursts of wizards, you never know when it will happen."

"But before the outbreak, it didn't actually have much of an impact."

Seeing Dolly's relaxed appearance, Qiu Zhang felt even more heartbroken.

Because she was convinced that Dolly was just pretending to be relaxed.

Imagine someone who has contracted a disease that could break out at any time, but whose consequences are unknown. Wouldn't they live in constant fear and anxiety?

At least Cho Chang lacked the confidence to live as optimistically as Dolly.

However, she really didn't have a better way or anything else she could do.

After all, even Mrs. Pomfrey was helpless against Dolly's illness, and it seemed that she had no choice but to live cautiously every day.

"Alright, enough about me, let's talk about you."

"Now that you've become the Seeker that I've always wanted to be, you can't keep going like this. I still need to wait for you to win the championship and give me your autograph."

Dolly changed the subject, trying to pull herself out of that melancholic state she had just been in.

But Qiu Zhang's next words almost knocked her back down: "Not anymore, because I've met you before and hugged you."

Dolly looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't. Was she some kind of teddy bear that we'd played with since childhood and that could inspire us? Why did hugging her restore our energy?

How come she didn't know she had such amazing abilities?

And...shouldn't she be the one taking the initiative?

Embrace the beautiful and gentle Akiharu, then observe and enjoy every little detail of her up close, preparing for a future where you become even closer best friends.

But when it came to Qiu Zhang, she was almost overwhelmed by Qiu Zhang's unconsciously direct approach.

Qiu Zhang continued, "I understand a little now. You're right. Best friends should hug each other. That's the most direct way to express their friendship."

Dolly paused for a moment, then said, "While I support this approach, it would be best to differentiate by gender or something..."

"Of course that's the case. You don't think I would just hug any boy, do you? My father would kill me if I did."

"puff."

Dolly couldn't help but laugh; she was a little confused.

Yes, does she really need to worry about something like this?

At least for now, she doesn't need to worry. Qiu Zhang has never lacked common sense, nor is she a fool. She won't be easily fooled.

What she did was what she thought.

Especially after becoming the Chaser on the Quidditch team, she escaped the cage of being a good girl unconsciously set up by her parents, and almost no one could stop Cho Chang from doing what she wanted.

"It's my fault, I worried about too many things."

"So, can we start training properly now, Aki?"

Qiu Zhang nodded and said, "I will bring the championship back."

“No need to force yourself. After all, your opponent is my brother, and he has just been equipped with the Seven Stars Sweep. The entire Gryffindor is also equipped with the Nimbus 2000.”

Upon hearing this, Cho Chang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I know about Harry's situation, but the entire Gryffindor team has changed their uniforms?"

"That's right, the details will probably appear in the Daily Prophet tomorrow."

"How are you feeling? Are you under pressure?"

Cho Chang's breathing became slightly rapid. They were already inferior to Gryffindor in terms of raw strength, and now they were also behind in terms of equipment. Did they really still have a chance of winning?

But looking into the girl's expectant eyes, Qiu Zhang said firmly, "I will win."

I'll do everything in my power for you.

"Okay, don't put so much pressure on yourself. For me personally, it's enough that you can enjoy flying on the field."

"After all, what I want to see is a happy Qiu Zhang; the championship is just a little seasoning."

After saying that, Dolly finally lifted the Nimbus 2001 in her hand with all her might and said, "Here, this is for you."

Cho Chang had naturally seen the new broom in Dolly's hand long ago and assumed it was a toy that Dolly had bought to play with.

The fact that it was a gift for her surprised Qiu Ke.

While a flying broom might not be expensive for the Akibara family, is it a bit too extravagant to give such a gift to a friend?

"Dolly, I can't accept this..."

Qiu Zhang wanted to refuse, but Dolly said confidently, "Let's open it and see first."

"I carried it for ages, couldn't you at least take a look at it first?"

Dolly gave him a reproachful look, and Cho Chang could no longer refuse. He could only open the broom's packaging with Dolly.

Qiu Zhang immediately realized that something was wrong.

As a Quidditch enthusiast, Cho Chang was naturally very knowledgeable about the various mainstream brooms on the market, and even hesitated for a long time about whether to buy a Nimbus 2000 or a Seven Stars Broom.

She knew the design and capabilities of these two brooms like the back of her hand, but Dolly's broom was clearly different from the other two.

It is entirely black and silver, slightly shorter than the Nimbus 2000, but the forked part at the tail is longer than that of the Nimbus 2000.

It also features an adjustable footstool, which is a significant improvement for Akiharu, a girl, allowing her to ride the broom more comfortably.

Qiu Zhang stroked the broom as if caressing a lover's arm, and in the end, he even wanted to press his cheek against it to feel the other's skin.

But when he touched the tip of the broom, Akio's expression became a little strange. He said, "Dolly, could this be handcrafted by some master craftsman?"

Because Akiharu didn't find the nameplate and serial number that all mass-produced brooms have on the top of the broom, and he didn't even find a signature.

This suggests that the broom could only have been handcrafted by a master craftsman, and may have only recently been completed.

Dolly laughed proudly and said, "You're right in a way; it really is a master-crafted broom."

"However, it will have an official name next year, called Lightcycle Power Run 2001."

Qiu Zhang was so surprised that he stared in disbelief. Looking at the broom again, he realized that it was indeed a direct descendant of the Nimbus 2000, and had improved many of the shortcomings of the Nimbus 2000.

Qiu Zhang immediately learned the price of this broom. Because it was a prototype handcrafted by a master, its price was incomparable to those mass-produced brooms.

Even disregarding performance, it's worth at least three Nimbus 2000s.

Considering its unique and cutting-edge performance, its price will likely reach two to three thousand Galleons, at least this year.

Dolly just gave her something of such value?

Even though the Akio family could afford the money, she felt dizzy and even wondered if Dolly in front of her was sick.

"Dolly, do you really know its price?"

"I don't know, someone gave it to me," Dolly replied matter-of-factly.

...Well, that's one possible explanation.

"Anyway, you'll find out the details in the newspaper tomorrow. I can't possibly repeat myself, can I? Otherwise, I might end up talking about it until tomorrow morning."

"As for this broom, we have plenty of money and won't sell it. At most, we'll keep it as a collectible."

"Instead of letting it gather dust in the box, why not let you use it? What if you win the championship and it becomes a legendary story?"

Qiu Zhang took a deep breath; she was already very tempted. No one could resist this treasure.

With it, Cho Chang felt he had a very high probability of beating other Seekers; this was Cho Chang's confidence, and also his trust in the broom.

But this broom is still a bit too expensive.

Qiu Zhang bit his lip and thought for a while before finally making a decision.

"I accept it, but I also want to give you a gift later, and you can't refuse it."

"If you refuse, I will have to return this broom to you; it is far too valuable."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your gift."

Dolly chose the former without hesitation; she was overjoyed to receive Cho Chang's gift.

As for the expensive broom, as Dolly said, she wasn't short of money.

Dolly's investment advice to Vernon proves that what happened in the Muggle world of his previous life can happen here, at least to some extent.

While wizards may indeed influence the world, their influence is far less significant, largely due to the secrecy they themselves have established.

This means that Dolly can definitely make money easily, and there's really no need for her to delay more important things for a little Galleon.

After all, Qiu Zhang's embrace is so warm; if we don't hug him a few more times, wouldn't we be letting down Qiu Zhang's care for us now?

"Then I'll be leaving now, but before her..."

Dolly stretched out her arms and said, "Aren't you going to say goodbye?"

Qiu Zhang couldn't help but laugh, and this time without the slightest hesitation, he took the initiative to hug Dolly.

After a brief hug, the two looked into each other's eyes and saw the joy and care in each other's eyes.

"Go train now, your captain has been watching this area from the very beginning."

Dolly patted Cho Chang on the back, finally regaining control of the situation.

Qiu Zhang turned around in surprise, and his eyes met those of Roger in the distance.

Roger smiled somewhat sheepishly, but then his gaze shifted downwards; he had been completely captivated by the flying broomstick in Dolly's hand.

Needless to say?

Faced with a girl and a flying broom, he would definitely choose the latter; otherwise, how could he live up to his identity as the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?

Soon, Cho Chang said goodbye to Dolly and went to the training field with the Nimbus 2001 that Dolly had given him.

The next second, the entire Ravenclaw team erupted in a deafening cheer, and all the teammates couldn't resist reaching out to touch the precious broom.

But the usually generous Cho Chang behaved quite differently this time, hugging the broom to her chest and saying, "I'm sorry everyone, this is a gift from Dolly, and I haven't given her a return gift yet."
