The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

It just so happened that his sister gave him a pair of boxing gloves for Christmas, which he could now use on Malfoy.

Using a wand to cast a spell to harm a fellow student at Hogwarts is a serious matter and may result in expulsion.

But beating someone up with your fists won't have much of an impact.

Because it can be cured with just one spell, or with a little potion, these minor injuries will disappear without a trace the next day.

Coupled with Harry's own privilege of reducing punishment, Dolly could only mourn for Malfoy's future.

Harry left next, not even planning to eat, and went straight to his room to practice boxing.

Hermione didn't show any intention of leaving, but kept pulling Dolly to listen to the details of Dolly's journey over the past few days, and her eyes remained red until sunset.

Dolly's mouth was dry as she spoke, so Hermione brought her some black tea.

After drinking a cup of black tea, Dolly finally found an opportunity to change the subject.

"By the way, how about staying for dinner later?"

Hermione wiped her eyes and gave an awkward smile.

Just when Dolly was wondering what was going on with that smile, Hermione said, "Actually, I've been living here for a few days, sleeping in the guest room."

"I'm worried about your parents' health problems, and I'm also worried that wizards might do something wrong, so Harry and I will take turns keeping watch."

"But it turns out we overthought, because the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic have reinforced the magical defenses of your home."

"The defense level here is now comparable to the restricted area."

Hermione stuck out her tongue, looking shy yet somewhat cute.

It was as if she was lamenting that all her efforts over the past few days had been in vain, but Dolly just wanted to bite the fleeting pink tip of her tongue and tell Hermione her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Because Hermione's behavior was indeed beyond Dolly's expectations.

She left her family behind during the New Year's Day holiday to help take care of and protect Dolly's parents. For this, Dolly could only thank her good friend with the strongest hugs and gentle words.

"Then stay here tonight too. Don't sleep in the guest room. Sleep with me."

"How about we talk all night long?"

"I want you to hear me say thank you a thousand times."

Hermione chuckled and said, "Are you going to keep repeating thank you in my ear like a spell?"

"...Okay, okay, I'll stay. Don't look at me like that. I don't want to leave either."

"But I definitely have to go home tomorrow to see my parents and get ready for school."

"Anyway, we can still sleep in the same bed every day when we return to Hogwarts."

Hermione said this as if to appear nonchalant.

But in fact, she hugged Dolly with her backhand, unwilling to let go.

Although there was no scenery in the familiar place, when the familiar scenery was about to be torn apart, Hermione's accustomed sense of security was greatly threatened.

At this time, Hermione naturally burst out with a strong desire to protect, even suppressing the slight shyness in her heart.

Not to mention sleeping in Dolly's bed today, even if Dolly invited her to take a bath together, Hermione couldn't bear to refuse.

But now Dolly asked a question that made Hermione unhappy.

"Um...Hermione, has Qiu Zhang been here?"

Dolly knew it was an inappropriate time to ask this question, as this was Hermione's exclusive time.

But she really wanted to know where Qiu Zhang was and what he had done.

This is indeed a not-so-glorious psychologically driven emotion. Dolly wants to see how much position she occupies in Qiu Zhang's heart.

Hermione glared at Dolly, but did not get angry at this time. Instead, she sat up and told Dolly seriously.

"She actually wanted to live here like me at first, but soon she came up with her own way."

"She should have arrived in France by now, having taken a Muggle plane."

197 Help Me Take It Off

Dolly was stunned.

Then he asked Hermione, "You mean I missed her?"

Hermione nodded, feeling a little regretful, and said, "She couldn't wait any longer and wanted to try to find you with her own power."

"If no one Apparates to pick her up, she probably won't be back until tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow."

"After all, flights have been very busy recently."

Dolly slapped her forehead. She really had caused trouble for her friends.

Although Dolly was also a victim in this incident, she made her friends have a miserable Christmas and New Year's Day holiday, so Dolly must compensate them.

But I definitely can’t do it this holiday, so I should think about what to do when school starts or during the next holiday.

"By the way, let's write to her and contact her. Otherwise, she might not know that I'm back."

Dolly does what she thinks.

Writing international letters to other wizards, especially to someone like Qiu Zhang whose residence is uncertain, is still a very troublesome thing.

However, Dolly could ask Furong to help forward the message, and then rely on the owl's own ability to find people to find Qiu Zhang in the French magical world.

Of course, Dolly figured it wouldn't matter if she didn't.

Anyway, Qiu Zhang has found the French Ministry of Magic, and he will probably come back when school starts.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to wake up in the same bed with Qiu Zhang during this winter vacation.

But at least I can be closer to Hermione.

Well, not a loss.

After Hermione calmed down, Dolly packed her clothes, took her wand, and went downstairs.

Dumbledore had obviously not left yet.

After explaining everything to Vernon and Petunia, he also fortified the Dursleys' house with magic himself.

If it weren't for the fact that Vernon and Petunia still needed to live a normal life in the Muggle world, Dumbledore would have wanted to use the Fidelius Charm.

Harry will not be killed by Voldemort.

But other wizards could easily kill Harry, and could even more easily kill the Dursleys.

When Dolly and Harry go back to school, the Dursleys will be in even greater danger without wizards to take care of them.

But in the end, Dumbledore gave up the idea. After all, the Dursleys would never agree to this approach.

They still have their own lives, and giving up their lives completely for the current danger is really a condition they cannot accept.

Just when Dumbledore was in a dilemma, Dolly, who had come downstairs, said, "Please help my parents set up some escape methods so that they can go to a safe place in an emergency."

"And the Aurors and Professor, your defensive magic should be able to withstand the first round of attacks, right?"

Dolly's words reminded Dumbledore.

Now that the Dursleys also knew about the existence of magic, they were deeply involved in the whole process - even if they were dragged in passively.

Then it would not be unacceptable to let them master some magic props.

As early as when Dumbledore was dealing with Grindelwald, he had included a Muggle man who had no magic skills in the protagonist group.

Although he had almost no combat power without magic and it seemed that he had no use, he actually played an important role every time.

As for why Dumbledore discovered him, it can probably only be explained by the prophecy.

Compared to what he did when he was young, Dumbledore's current approach can be said to be quite conservative.

A short while later, Dumbledore had crafted a portkey himself, made from a coin.

"Please keep this coin in a suitable place. I will open the other end in a safe and secluded location, and someone will be there to meet you."

"But I still hope you don't have the opportunity to use it. After all, that would mean it would be really difficult for you to live a normal life."

"By the way, remember to wear dragonhide gloves when you pick it up. I think Miss Dursley will prepare them for you."

"Wait until you actually use it before touching it with your skin, and it needs to be done with two people."

Seeing that Vernon and Petunia were a little confused, Dumbledore simply took them for a tour.

Penny was a little frightened and her face looked bad. After all, holding a portkey was not an easy experience.

Vernon was also pale, but he seemed a little excited.

After all, he had entered a place that looked like an ancient manor just a second ago. Unfortunately, before he could see what was inside, he was sent back by Dumbledore.

Of course, on the surface, Vernon and his wife still stood firmly on the same front, expressing their discomfort with the side effects of this magic item.

"There's no other way. I've tried my best to increase its stability."

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully and said, "It's because we wizards really don't pay much attention to the user experience."

Dumbledore then declined the Dursleys' invitation to stay for dinner, wanting to return to Hogwarts as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming danger.

Although the professors at Hogwarts said everything was normal, Dumbledore now believed that there must be some conspiracy planned in secret.

After all, that was Voldemort's diary. Even when he was young, Voldemort's mind was full of ways to control people and tempt them to fall.

With the addition of the adult wizard Peter Pettigrew, there are actually many things they can do.

After Dumbledore left, Vernon and Petunia's emotions flared up again.

Especially when Penny hugged Dolly and cried for more than ten minutes. Dolly then used a spell to soothe Penny's spirit a little and calm her down.

Then Penny wanted to cook and prepare a welcome dinner for Dolly.

However, Dolly rejected Petunia and instead pulled Hermione along. The two of them used their wands to perform unskilled cooking magic in the kitchen, making the clinking of pots and pans fill the air.

Penny took this very seriously and tried to take back control more than once.

In the end, Vernon stopped her and asked her to appreciate the girls' magical operations. Only then did Petunia gradually hand over the cooking tasks to Dolly and Hermione.

It turns out that the reason why Cooking Magic has become a series on its own is that it does have its own unique features.

Even though Dolly and Hermione were trying many spells for the first time, they still managed to make some decent dishes.

I can’t say it was delicious, but it was definitely better than what a newbie in the kitchen could cook for the first time.

Penny saw this scene, and her originally uneasy heart surprisingly calmed down.

The reason is also very simple.

Not only did the daughter come back, but she could also cook and feed herself, even if she did all this with magic. This also meant that the daughter had truly grown up.

With the blending of the two joys, Penny naturally returned to normal.

Next it's dinner time.

Since they were all acquaintances, everyone toasted to celebrate Dolly's return and then started to feast.

Even the thin Penny ate a lot. This was the first time her daughter made a big meal for the family, and it was also to make up for the Christmas dinner that Dolly had missed before, so she naturally couldn't miss it.

After dinner, a group of people gathered around Dolly and wanted to listen to her story.

So Dolly picked out some stories that were not so thrilling, or at least did not sound like there was any danger of death, and told them to the family.

It was not until Dolly mentioned Dumbledore's appearance that the family finally calmed down and prepared to accept Dolly's hard-earned return.

As for Snow's story, Dolly naturally told it to her family.

It’s a pity that Snow has to live in the magical world, which makes Vernon even think about buying a real dog.

The group chatted until nine o'clock, and Dolly was already yawning.

Although she had a good rest at Furong's house yesterday, Dolly had to experience a battle with the snowmen in person today.

Coupled with the battle of wits and courage with others, Dolly is really tired.

"Go to bed early, Dolly."

"And you, Miss Granger, could you please help take care of Dolly from now on?"

The one who spoke was Petunia. She already knew that Hermione was staying tonight, so she naturally gave Hermione a few polite instructions.

She didn't really want Hermione to take care of Dolly, but she wanted to use this method so that Hermione wouldn't be too restrained because of the change of environment.
