The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Although she looked like a winner, she always felt that this victory was not satisfying enough?

Ah...it seems that Dolly proposed the bet?

Hermione thought she was the one who proposed the bet.

Before Hermione could think any further, Dolly had changed the subject.

Hermione is such a smart person, if she had thought about it for a few more seconds, she would probably have realized that she was actually the one who fell into the trap.

"Don't call me Miss Dursley, call me Dolly. We are already friends, aren't we?"

Dolly pulled Hermione to sit down directly, and the two of them were close to each other. By slightly tilting their heads, they could see each other's reflections in their pupils.

"We...are friends now?"

Hermione, whose train of thought was interrupted, was caught off guard. She came here to find an opponent, but ended up making a friend first?

Given their situation, can they be considered friends?

"Of course we are friends, but you haven't given me a meeting gift yet."

"I have given you Crookshanks. When you give me a gift, we will be true friends."

"You don't mean to say that we're not even friends, do you?"

Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, not because of shyness, but because of depression.

Facing Dolly at this moment, she really couldn't say the words "we are not friends".

If they weren't friends, then what she had just done was just to be a rival to Dolly?

That also made her seem too arrogant and rude.

"But I didn't prepare anything..."

Hermione looked around anxiously, and finally something suddenly occurred to her.

She quickly beckoned to her father, and when Mr. Granger came over with the bags, she picked one out for Dolly.

"This book, The Book of Spells, is a magic book that's not part of the textbook. The shop owner told me it's a bestseller."

"I was planning to study it myself when I got back, so how about giving it to you now?"

Dolly took it and saw that it was a spell book written by Miranda Goshawk.

Miranda Goshawk is also the author of the Hogwarts "Standard Spells" series of textbooks.

It can be said that Miranda Goshawk is a true expert in teaching spells.

Compared with the Hogwarts textbooks, the characteristics of this "Book of Spells" are probably as stated in the preface: this spell book allows you to use some less basic spells, making your life richer, safer and more colorful.

"Very good, I'll take it."

After Dolly took a quick look, she found that even the Patronus Charm was recorded on it, so she immediately accepted it with satisfaction.

Dolly probably can't learn most of these spells now.

But it is also a good way to familiarize yourself with the casting posture.

The most important thing is that if she doesn't accept it, Hermione will probably not be able to come up with a better gift, which will embarrass Hermione.

That's not what Dolly is about.

Hermione also breathed a sigh of relief, looking back at the book with some reluctance.

But she can go back and buy another one later, so it won’t waste much time at all.

Although the friend in front of her came in a bit of a storm, she was the most precious treasure to Hermione.

She was also worried that after entering the magical world, she would be isolated by the young wizards from wizarding families.

He handed the book to his father and said, "Let me introduce you. They are my father and mother, and this is my younger brother, Harry Potter."

Dolly was originally looking forward to Hermione's reaction when she heard Harry's name, but Hermione's gaze didn't even stay on Harry's face for a second.

Obviously, Hermione didn't know the name of the Boy-Who-Lived at this time.

"Hello."

Hermione waved to a few people a little stiffly, completely lacking the momentum she had when she first approached Dolly.

Thinking about it now, Hermione herself felt a little strange. Why did she feel no pressure when facing Dolly at the beginning?

Oh yes, I don’t know why, but Dolly always gives people a very soft and weak feeling.

This question came to her mind, but Hermione didn't ask any further questions.

Because it will become Vernon's home court next.

Seeing that Dolly and Hermione's communication was almost complete, Vernon laughed and stretched out his hand to Mr. Granger in the distance.

As a company executive, Vernon naturally had no problems with social skills. With just a few words, he made the Grangers, who were dentists, feel at ease.

As for why Vernon, who had such ability, had such a bad relationship with Harry's father back then.

The reason is actually very simple. On one side are the people he hates, and on the other side are the parents of his daughter's friend. Is there any need to say which one is more important?

Naturally, I regard my daughter’s friend’s parents as more important than my business partners!

With such a smart girl from a middle-class family taking care of each other, Vernon and Petunia could finally rest assured.

The Grangers obviously thought so too, with the deliberate promotion of the two families.

The two Muggle families quickly became friends drinking in the Leaky Cauldron. The lively atmosphere made the wizards feel surprised: When did the Leaky Cauldron open to Muggles?

Afterwards, the two families took the Knight Bus together to leave the Leaky Cauldron and said goodbye to each other in front of Dolly's house.

Although both families lived in London, Hermione's family lived further away.

26 Chapter 3【?】

"Why don't you have a meal here? Penny's cooking skills are very good!"

Vernon's hospitality seemed unfamiliar to Harry.

In response to Vernon's invitation, the Grangers could only say that they would come next time because they had too many things to sort out.

So amidst the sounds of regret and farewell, the Knight Bus started again.

Dolly rubbed Crookshanks' head and said, "When you get to your new home, remember to take good care of your new owner."

Hermione couldn't help laughing. Dolly was talking to a cat so seriously, was it a little... cute?

Besides, she is not someone who needs care!

What surprised her was that the cat in her arms nodded solemnly.

This was not just a casual affair, because Dolly promised it that she would provide it with the best food when it arrived at Hogwarts.

For the sake of this better life in the future, Crookshanks has to shoulder his responsibilities as a cat knight.

"As for us, let's communicate by letter."

Dolly pointed to the owl cage in Harry's hand and said, "Although owls can't deliver messages as quickly as a telephone."

"But it can accurately locate our people, especially when delivering things, much faster than mail."

Hermione nodded, looking at Hedwig with a hint of anticipation.

Using an owl to send a message, this is so wizardly!

Harry looked down at Hedwig and said jokingly, "You've just arrived in this family, and you're already shouldering a heavy responsibility."

"Unfortunately, your master must listen to his sister, so you will have no choice but to listen to her."

Hedwig looked at Dolly pitifully when she heard this, and Dolly waved her hand and said, "I'll buy you the best owl food!"

Hedwig immediately became happy, raised her wings and swayed her body, and almost danced to the music.

Harry's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "What about me? If you use my owl, you should at least give me something, right?"

Dolly's lips curled up into a teasing smile, and then she said, "Double the top owl food!"

The anticipation on Harry's face was instantly petrified, while Hedwig screamed in excitement.

Now it was the turn of the owners and the owl to be at odds. Seeing the owl so excited, Harry couldn't help but reach out and poke Hedwig's head to spoil the fun.

Hedwig was not to be outdone. She pecked Harry's fingertips with her beak and started playing with him.

"You must not neglect your magic practice, and you must memorize all the textbooks before school starts."

"This is the most basic of the basics. If you can't even do this, there's no way you can beat me."

Dolly finished speaking and Hermione began her instructions.

But this so-called foundation of the basics made Dolly's eyelids turn up.

Not to mention that Dolly, who is a replica of Dudley in this life, has poor learning talent, in her previous life she tried her best but couldn't reach the so-called basic level that Hermione mentioned!

Hermione immediately noticed Dolly's attempt to slack off, and said anxiously, "I'll test your progress every week. If you fall too far behind, I won't let you off!"

Dolly was happy now, and a smile of anticipation blossomed on her delicate face. She gave Hermione a hug and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come and visit me."

Crookshanks pushed at Dolly's belly in dissatisfaction, and Hermione blushed for some reason.

Hermione didn't come to her senses until she returned to her seat and the Knight Bus started moving again.

"Hermione, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Granger asked curiously, even reaching out to touch her daughter's head.

Hermione finally came back to her senses and shook her head, saying, "Nothing."

But the tone of his voice sounded a bit lacking in confidence.

In fact, Dolly didn't do anything, it was just a generous kiss on the cheek.

This is quite common in the UK, especially when it is an interaction between two girls.

But it was still something that only close friends would do, and Hermione had never had such close friends in the past.

After all, with Hermione's proud and arrogant personality, it would be impossible for her to be liked even in a primary school in the Muggle world, let alone have close friends.

It was normal for Hermione to feel a little uncomfortable for a while as she suddenly had such a close friend.

She held Crookshanks in her arms, watching the scenery before her constantly deform and recede. She fell into deep thought, evaluating her friendship with Dolly and wondering if it was too abrupt.

Finally, Hermione took a puff of the cat, a smile of relief breaking through her tightly closed mouth.

In any case, she was happy to have a friend like Dolly.

That's enough, isn't it?

Dolly returned home, simply packed up the things she had bought, and then lay down on the bed motionless.

Although she seems to be proactive and in control of everything today, she was actually a passive and lazy person in her previous life.

It is because of my passion for magic and characters that I can achieve this.

I just don’t know if she will become passive again in the future when her enthusiasm fades.

Never mind. This kind of thing doesn't matter.

Rather than worrying about these details, Dolly should study how to get more attribute points for free.

The basic principle remains unchanged; sacrificing the flesh is impossible.

Blood should not be used if possible. Although blood can be regenerated, it is ultimately a scarce resource.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no pressure to sacrifice fat, and it is even a benefit for Dolly.

Who doesn’t want to have a physique that allows you to eat as much as you want without gaining weight?

In addition, it seems that the hair has a similar setting?

So Dolly asked Goldfinger, and this time Goldfinger gave Dolly a response.

[Every 50 grams of hair can be exchanged for 1 attribute point.]

50 grams?

It doesn’t sound like much!

But this time Dolly did not exchange the money impulsively. She first wanted to calculate how much 50 grams of hair was.

After calculating for a long time, there was no accurate data, but Dolly already had a rough idea.
