The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Once you take a step forward, you probably won't be able to come back.

Why not go talk to Dolly when you have a chance?

After all, the Quidditch recruitment activity is about to begin.

She winked at me this afternoon, probably to say that I could wait until Hermione was not around before looking for her.

It must be like this.

The pleasant flying class ended quickly, and Dolly could finally return to her dormitory today.

However, she still needed to be dragged along by Hermione to make up lessons. It was not until Hermione had finished teaching Dolly the courses she missed and even planned to drag Dolly to preview tomorrow's content that Dolly began to rebel.

"I won't learn anymore. I'm burning out. I'm going to die!"

"If you push me again, I'll go to the lounge and take a nap!"

Hermione had no choice but to give up the idea of dragging Dolly to continue studying.

This also made Dolly determined to get a generator here as soon as possible. Otherwise, Dolly's only entertainment activity would be studying. Who could stand this?

The two chatted for a while and then prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

After all, the first class tomorrow morning is Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which starts at eight o'clock.

But in the middle of the night, Dolly felt something moving on her face.

"Stop it, Crookshanks."

Dolly reached out her hand and grabbed, but what she caught was not Crookshanks, but a piece of paper.

When I opened it, it said, "I'm waiting for you in the lounge, Qiu Zhangliu."

Chapter 64: Crookshanks: Mission failed, meow!

Dolly almost sat up with a somersault.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhang secretly sent her a letter. Could this be considered a date of some kind?

Well, Dolly knew she was overthinking it.

There was always something wrong with the way Qiu Zhang looked at her. Maybe he had something to say to her, but he never found the chance.

And she was so anxious that she had to ask Dolly out on paper, and then Dolly had to keep the appointment.

As soon as I sat up, I saw a pair of eyes glowing in the darkness.

It was the curious Crookshanks who saw the note slip under the door on its own cat-like steps, then fly up and hit Dolly in the face.

It was precisely because he knew that the note was harmless that Crookshanks let it go, otherwise he would have slapped it with his paw.

Dolly waved to Crookshanks, and Crookshanks jumped over. Just as he was about to meow, Dolly covered his mouth.

"Shh, I'm going to be out for a while. Please keep an eye on Hermione for me. If she shows any signs of waking up, call me in the common room."

Crookshanks stepped back, looked at Dolly, then at Hermione, then jumped back a little and flatly refused.

It wouldn't do anything that would get it beaten by Hermione.

"Three... no, five cat strips!"

Crookshanks jumped directly into Dolly's arms, as obedient as a cattail.

Who else can accomplish such a difficult task without it?

With Crookshanks providing cover, Dolly felt more at ease.

He quietly left the bed and put on a coat, carefully looking at Hermione who was sleeping soundly, tiptoed to the door, gently opened it, and didn't dare to breathe.

Her heart was beating non-stop, just like... skipping class in the middle of the night to go to the Internet cafe?

This was the only description Dolly could think of; any other way to describe it would not be appropriate.

He can't be meeting the mistress behind his wife's back, right?

The relationship between her and Hermione is still pure friendship, how can there be any warmth beyond friendship?

Dolly breathed a sigh of relief only after she went out and closed the door.

There was a fireplace in the lounge, and the flames could be seen dancing from afar. When Dolly turned the corner and walked down the spiral staircase, she saw Qiu Zhang shrouded in a faint red light.

Qiu Zhang curled up on the sofa, hugging his knees with his hands, staring at the flames in the fireplace in a daze.

There was a flame-like brilliance in those black eyes, as if what was burning was not the fireplace in front of her, but something in her heart.

Dolly's footsteps made Qiu Zhang turn around. When she saw that it was Dolly, the joy in her eyes was not concealed at all.

"You won't be angry if I disturb you so late?"

As he spoke, Qiu Zhang leaned to one side of the sofa and said, "This seat has become warmer, I'll give it to you."

Dolly was not polite and sat in Qiu Zhang's original seat.

The thighs, which were a little cold because of wearing pajamas, were warm at this moment, as if they were leaning on Qiu Zhang.

However, Dolly shuddered because she had underestimated the temperature of the British September nights.

The inconvenience of not having a mobile phone is that you have to try on the clothes before you know what to wear.

Qiu Zhang felt bad about this scene, and he quickly said, "How about this, let's put our feet on the sofa too."

"I'll clean it up with magic in a moment."

Dolly nodded and did as she was told. Then the two of them leaned back and stood shoulder to shoulder. Then they moved their calves and feet up and hugged them with their arms. Finally, Qiu Zhang covered their legs with the blanket she was using. In an instant, Dolly felt warm.

But in this way, the two people will be very close to each other.

However, Qiu Zhang doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing, or maybe for Asian girls, being close to close friends is the most normal behavior.

This is difficult for Dolly, a girl who is not very normal. How can she act more normal than Qiu Zhang?

Waiting online, urgent!

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot you just recovered."

"So can you tell me what's wrong with you? Maybe I can offer some advice."

Dolly didn't think about the meaning of this sentence, so she said, "It's an old problem, and it may come back often in the future."

"Professor Snape has already brewed a potion for me, and Hermione will take care of me. The rest is up to time."

Looking at Dolly's open-minded look, Qiu Zhang sincerely sighed that he had not made a mistake in choosing her.

I just don't know if she can be as free as Dolly, instead of always worrying about whether she can succeed or not.

This is what Qiu Zhang is thinking about. Last year, she was actually a good girl in Ravenclaw, which was also what her parents expected of her since she was a child.

But Qiu Zhang knew deeply that she was not the person she appeared to be, and she had another emotion in her heart that she wanted to release.

But she was afraid that after doing such a thing, she would lose her current image as a good girl and would be hated by everyone.

That's why Qiu Zhang was attracted to Dolly, and even asked Dolly out on impulse today.

But when he saw the cute girl right in front of him, Qiu Zhang didn't know how to start.

After all, she and Dolly were just acquaintances, so suddenly they started talking about topics like life. Isn't that a case of talking too much without knowing each other?

Obviously, Qiu Zhang accidentally fell into her past thinking logic.

Seeing Qiu Zhang's eyes light up at first, and then become hesitant, Dolly was no longer nervous.

When people get along with each other, it is an attack of momentum. When Qiu Zhang's momentum decreased, Dolly automatically took the lead.

She said, "If you don't speak, I'll do it first."

"Let me guess why you came to me."

Qiu Zhang looked at Dolly in surprise, and Dolly's next words made her even more unbelievable.

"You're probably thinking about becoming a Quidditch player?"

Qiu opened her mouth wide. At this moment, she was so surprised that she even suspected that she might have accidentally let something slip, or that Dolly in front of her had the innate ability to read minds?

So Qiu Zhang asked carefully, "Are you a Legilimency Master?"

"No, it's probably just that we are born in sync and have a mutual understanding."

"Or if I blink at noon, you will invite me over now?"

A hint of understanding flashed in Qiu Zhang's eyes, and he almost believed it.

This made Dolly laugh first and said, "I'm kidding, don't take it seriously."

If Qiu Zhang really took it seriously, Dolly would not be able to continue acting in less than five minutes.

Dolly shrugged and continued, "You're so easy to understand, actually. When Professor Dumbledore told you that Quidditch tryouts would begin next week, you couldn't hide your excitement at all."

Qiu Zhang touched her face, feeling a little embarrassed. She thought she had concealed it well.

In fact, Dolly guessed it based on Qiu Zhang's future development, and she didn't expect that she would be right on target.

"Since what I said is right, you can tell me what you are thinking about?"

As the initiator of the invitation, Qiu Zhang hadn't even raised the question yet, and he couldn't let Dolly continue to perform a solo.

Even though Dolly has experience and knowledge from her previous life, she is still just a student and cannot dominate forever.

"Actually, if I played Quidditch, my father would probably not approve."

"He's a Muggle businessman. Although he acknowledges that I'm a wizard, he still hopes that after I graduate, I'll work within the system."

"Can you understand this?"

Dolly straightened up; she simply couldn't comprehend this statement any more.

After all, she was planning to take the exam after graduation in her previous life.

There is no way. Only after having been a wolf in a big company, a dog of a small leader, screwing screws on an assembly line, and delivering takeout in windy and snowy days, will you understand that the system is your permanent home!

In this day and age, a job that guarantees a stable income is the key to a person's balanced spiritual and physical development.

"So your father intended for you to become a civil servant in England?"

For an Asian person to go through so much trouble to live in the UK, study at Hogwarts, and then take the Muggle civil service exam, isn't that a bit... too much experience?

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they're civil servants from Muggle or wizarding circles. That's what my father thinks anyway."

"This requires me to study hard at school, increase my reputation, and then become a prefect or even a student representative, so that I can successfully work in the Ministry of Magic in the future."

Although Dolly felt a little suffocated, she also felt a sense of intimacy.

With this kind of atmosphere of taking civil service exams, Qiu Zhang’s father must be a senior civil service exam candidate!

Oh, that’s not right, Qiu Zhang said, his father is a businessman.

It seems that they are the first group of people to go into business as the times change.

"But I… like Quidditch."

Qiu Zhang suddenly raised his voice and said, "I love the feeling of flying on a broomstick, just like you did today."

"Can you understand me?"

Looking at Qiu Zhang's eager eyes, Dolly sighed slightly. Who wouldn't understand?

After all, Dolly is also a student. She has been taught from childhood that she should study hard and that as long as she studies well, she can have everything.

Unfortunately, times have changed. The huge gap between studying well and having everything can no longer be filled by personal efforts alone.

Of course, if you want to go further, you can only keep working hard. When everyone works hard, the inward-looking life becomes extremely painful.

However, Dolly was just talking in general terms. After all, she had not really become a corporate slave yet. But it was not difficult for her to understand Qiu Zhang's thoughts.

So Dolly said, "Actually, I think your father is right."

These words made Qiu Zhang's face pale slightly, but he chose to wait patiently for Duoli to continue.

"I heard them say that it's difficult for wizards to have a full-time job. In other words, if you don't work at the Ministry of Magic, you can't even find a good job to support yourself in the entire wizarding world."

The Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world holds almost all the power in the entire wizarding world. All that is left for ordinary wizards in the entire wizarding world is the economic vitality of Diagon Alley.

After all, as long as wizards graduate from Hogwarts, they can basically be self-sufficient in food. In addition, magic can easily solve many problems in life, so wizards don’t often need to trade.

This also means that it is not easy for wizards to make money among the people. At least they have to have a certain connection with the Ministry of Magic in order to survive more easily.
