The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

所以一共需要推荐4更+月票2更+刀片1更+黄金宝箱10更（黄金宝箱在数据按照160000X0.8=128000计算）=17更。

I have exactly 17 chapters to report, but I took a day off yesterday, so I owe one chapter.

Because of all the things that happened in February, and the support and encouragement from so many readers, plus the promotional activities organized by Bookke, I decided to temporarily change the rules.

All prices are halved: 1000 recommendations = 1 extra chapter, 150 monthly tickets = 1 extra chapter, 10000 coins = 1 extra chapter, 100 blades = 1 extra chapter, silver treasure chests = 5 chapters, gold treasure chests = 20 chapters!

Each update will still be 5000 words, with a minimum of one update per day. Any extra updates will be considered bonus updates. There is no upper limit set for now, until the end of the month or until I give up!

Based on the above calculation, there is still one chapter owed in January. There are not many left, so it is not enough to make up for two chapters. However, I will count it as two chapters, so there are still three chapters owed in January.

The following is the data from February to today.

按照新规则，一共需要加更推荐2+月票1+打赏2+刀片2=7更，加上一月的3更一共还欠10更。

Currently, I owe 10 chapters. I will add one chapter for every 1000 recommendations, 150 monthly tickets, 10000 coins, and 100 blades. Silver treasure chests will count as 5 chapters, and gold treasure chests will count as 20 chapters. This will continue until the end of the month or until my profile picture appears.

The first update will be before midnight. There will be two updates today, and at least three updates tomorrow.

86. Screams won't disappear, they'll just shift.

Wait, why would she have such a strange idea?

How can we let Dolly have a next time?

It's best to avoid doing something like this again when it's dangerous.

However, if such a situation were to actually occur, Qiu Zhang was certain that she would step up without hesitation and without the slightest doubt.

"Alright, alright, you've had your hand there for too long, it's disturbing Dolly's conversation."

Hermione finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Cho Chang's wrist, pulling his hand off Dolly's chest.

This scene seemed to bring them back to the time when they were constantly clashing, as if their reconciliation just now was nothing but an illusion.

But upon closer reflection, it no longer seems strange.

Because they only agreed to help Dolly, and they didn't actually become friends.

At least, it can never be a friend as important as Dolly.

Qiu Zhang did not resist, and her temperament returned to its original gentle and charming appearance, but there was a touch of lively light in the seemingly gentle smile on her lips.

For example, right now, she said to Hermione, "You can touch it too."

"This piece of jade feels really nice to the touch. I won't stop you if you want to touch it."

After saying that, he actually grabbed Hermione's wrist and reached forward to touch her.

As the jade stone drew ever closer, Hermione was momentarily at a loss.

Just then, with a bang, the door was pushed open.

"Mr. Potter!"

"You'd better be glad there's no professor here right now, otherwise you would definitely lose five points for what you just did."

"There are still patients here who need to rest."

"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Pomfrey, I was just too worried about my sister's condition."

Harry bowed to Madam Pomfrey and then rushed towards Dolly without stopping.

Dolly's side, with Hermione and Cho Chang standing there, couldn't be more conspicuous.

Yesterday, his first news was that Dolly had fallen asleep due to anemia and was then taken to the school hospital.

Harry hadn't doubted the answer yet, after all, something similar had happened before, and Dolly had easily escaped danger, so he was sure it would be the same this time.

But now the whole of Hogwarts is saying that a troll attacked a young wizard yesterday, which led to the young wizard's death.

That's why the young wizards were required to stay in their rooms all night and not even allowed to enter the common room.

The essence of this approach is to prevent them from interfering with the Aurors' investigation of the truth at the Ministry of Magic.

Clearly, as long as it meets people's expectations, many people will embellish the story and subconsciously transform it into a form they can understand and like, even if they do so unconsciously.

So much so that the version Harry eventually heard became that a giant tore Dolly to pieces to join Myrtle—although Harry still doesn't know who Myrtle is.

The enraged professors killed the troll, but they also had to pay for their negligence in supervision, and Hogwarts was to be shut down.

See, this is the kind of story that Hogwarts students love to hear.

It doesn't matter who died in this.

The most important thing is that the school is under lockdown and everyone is on holiday.

"elder sister……"

As Harry approached Dolly's bed, he slowed his pace.

He was terrified of seeing his sister, who was badly injured and had become strange, or even worse, seeing her corpse.

But when he saw that his sister had only lost an arm, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, in a somewhat annoyed tone, she asked, "Hermione, what happened? Can you tell me?"

"Why did my sister disappear all evening yesterday? You said she was in the bathroom, but she was attacked by a troll!"

Hermione's face stiffened. She was "playing and joking" with Cho Chang when she never expected that she would be the first one to be shot.

Moreover, what Harry said was true, and Hermione couldn't answer the questions he asked.

We can't just start the story from Dolly's jealousy and Cho Chang becoming friends, can we?

Hermione instinctively wanted to have a debate with Harry.

Even if she felt guilty, she couldn't just give up so easily.

After all, she owed Dolly, what did it have to do with Harry?

Harry is Dolly's brother and family, and has the right to inquire about his health, but he has no right to ask Hermione to do anything.

Hermione did all of this voluntarily.

This time, however, Hermione kept her mouth shut and swallowed the words she wanted to say.

She might easily win an argument with Harry, but so what?

Will it make Harry stop being dissatisfied with her, or will it save Dolly from danger?

Obviously not, and it might even worsen her relationship with Harry, leading to a big fight between them.

In the end, it wouldn't be surprising if Pomfrey kicked her out, and it would also affect Dolly's rest... Most importantly, after that, only Cho Chang would be with Dolly.

This is something Hermione absolutely cannot accept.

So Hermione simply apologized to Harry, saying, "I'm sorry, Harry."

"Dolly and I had a fight yesterday, so I don't want to know where Dolly is."

"It turns out my mistake almost led to a tragedy. If someone has to take responsibility, then let it be me!"

Anyway, she got scolded, and Dolly would definitely comfort her—Hermione thought to herself, full of confidence in her good friend.

Harry did want more, but Dolly interrupted him.

"Alright, Harry, Hermione isn't my babysitter, and she has no obligation to take care of me every day."

"Encountering the troll was just bad luck for me. Hermione and Cho Chang arrived immediately and treated me."

"Without them, you might not be able to see me now."

Harry was stunned. Although he could hardly believe it, he had no choice but to believe his sister's words.

For a moment, Harry was at a loss, especially looking at Hermione who had just apologized to him, unsure of how to begin.

Hermione chuckled, turned to look at Dolly, her eyes filled with a pleased, happy, and contented smile.

So Hermione didn't want to embarrass Harry, and took the initiative to explain, "Harry, let's be partners in protecting Dolly."

"I'm her best friend, and you're her good little brother. Together, we'll be the first line of defense to protect Dolly!"

Harry felt his blood boil and quickly nodded in agreement.

This made Ron a little embarrassed, and he instinctively said, "Aren't you guys taking this a bit too seriously? What happened yesterday was just a coincidence. How could Dolly be so unlucky all the time?"

"This is Hogwarts, the safest place in the world..."

Ron's words drew a crowd of onlookers.

His voice grew softer and softer until he couldn't speak anymore.

Well, mentioning Hogwarts at this time is the safest option, which seems a bit like a deliberate sarcastic jab at Hogwarts.

Heaven have mercy, Ron just got used to saying that.

"Um, cough."

Ron immediately changed the subject, saying, "Dolly, what exactly happened yesterday? What was that troll all about?"

Ron's words immediately made Hermione and Cho Chang tense.

They had agreed not to mention yesterday's events again, to avoid frightening Dolly.

Neville realized something was wrong and said, "Ron, don't ask a patient about the cause of her illness as soon as she wakes up!"

Ron quickly shut up, still thinking of changing the subject, such as mentioning Quirrell's miserable state yesterday in the Great Hall, crawling between the students' legs and having his back stepped on.

Dolly spoke again, saying, "It's not that I can't tell you."

Everyone turned to look at Dolly, who was pondering how the story's development differed from the original one due to her intervention.

After all, this is related to Dumbledore's grand plan to cultivate a savior, Harry's pre-challenge knowledge learning and common sense sharing.

And the most crucial point is that you should try to control or drive away Quirrell.

This time, Dolly escaped the trolls' attack, and Dumbledore was unwilling to control Quirrell, which means Quirrell still has countless opportunities to strike.
