The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

So Qiu Zhang didn't want to work at the Ministry of Magic. Dolly could understand, but she didn't support it.

"If you want to live in the wizarding world, going to the Ministry of Magic after graduation is still the best choice."

Seeing Qiu Zhang about to speak, Duoli quickly stopped him and said, "I haven't finished yet. What I'm going to say next is the key point."

Qiu Zhang nodded and showed more patience.

"I heard from Ron and the others—my brother's friends—that they also like Quidditch."

"If you become a Quidditch master, you will be very famous even in school."

"In the future, this fame will even make it easier for them to get a job at the Ministry of Magic. After all, the Ministry of Magic needs them to look good."

"So why not treat playing Quidditch as a way to add points to your life?"

"If you can add a Quidditch championship to your future prefect title, you'll have fulfilled your dream and there won't be any conflict with your family. That doesn't conflict, right?"

Qiu Zhang blinked, and a light gradually appeared in his eyes.

So this is possible?

Dolly looked at the change in Qiu Zhang's eyes and knew that the girl understood.

The reason why she was caught in this dilemma was that she had always been thinking about things from the perspective of a child.

Equating Quidditch with disobeying parents' orders and being a bad boy.

But Qiu Zhang's parents only set an ultimate goal for her, but they actually had no control over the specific path to achieve this goal.

Qiu Zhang is in Hogwarts. As a Muggle, can Qiu Zhang's father rush in and challenge Dumbledore?

Just one shot and forget everything, and everything will be solved.

In fact, even without Dolly's guidance, Qiu Zhang would probably figure it all out on his own in a few days.

Or maybe she really decided to be a bad kid and joined Quidditch, but later found that things were not as bad as she imagined, and then gradually became the popular Qiu Zhang that Dolly was familiar with.

All I can say is that Dolly made the right decision by desperately trying to come to Hogwarts this school year.

If Dolly had come a year later, by which time Qiu Zhang had become a little star in Ravenclaw, would she still have such a long conversation with her?

It's impossible!

At that time, Qiu Zhang might have been preparing to date a man.

In the original book, Qiu Zhang's date includes more than just Harry and Cedric. This shows that even though he has Asian ancestry, Qiu Zhang no longer cares about the moral concepts of his parents.

"Thank you, Dolly."

Qiu Zhang was so excited that his face flushed, and the smile on his face became even brighter under the light of the fire.

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

Duoli said casually, but Qiu Zhang shook his head firmly and said, "No, I can only tell you about this. It was you who helped me, which proves that we are already best friends."

"I must do something for you, otherwise I will feel guilty."

Dolly really wanted to say, then ask your mother to buy me some magic potions.

But eventually she endured it.

Although Qiu Zhang would most likely agree to this, compared to Duoli's effort of just saying a few words, she would be the one owing Qiu Zhang a favor afterwards.

By then, the two of them may not be as comfortable together as they are now.

So Dolly said, "Then you will become the best Quidditch player at Hogwarts, help us win the Quidditch championship, and finally help us win the house cup."

"When the time comes, please sign your name for me."

"Just signing...that simple?"

"I want the champion's signature. If you are not a champion, then I will not recognize you."

Qiu Zhang suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Although she wanted to become the Quidditch champion, it was not an easy task.

"Let's make a bet. If you become the Quidditch champion, the first autograph you sign must be for me. That way, the gift will be valuable enough."

"If that doesn't work, then you can do one more thing for me."

Qiu Zhang laughed when she heard this, and there was a hint of relief in her smile. Dolly's conditions obviously helped her out of the predicament.

She could tell that Dolly was thinking about her, and at the same time, she became more and more curious about the girl in front of her.

It's not that she has no British friends of the same age, and she went to primary school in the UK, but no one has ever made her feel as if she is communicating with someone of her own.

This feeling of being one of our own is indescribable. It is familiar and intimate, and can also bring unexpected surprises. This is the first time Qiu Zhang has had such a feeling.

"Okay, I promise you."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Dolly had no intention of leaving immediately.

Instead, he asked, "By the way, why do you like Quidditch? Is it fun?"

If we leave it like this, Dolly and Qiu Zhang are just friends who help each other.

But if they talk about Quidditch, the two of them will become like-minded friends.

It just so happened that Dolly was actually quite interested in Quidditch.

It's not that I want to be a champion, but by participating in games like Quidditch, I can use injury as an excuse to use potions like Bone Spirit.

If we compete with other colleges, we can also try to scam them, which may have unexpected results.

Qiu Zhang's eyes lit up again.

There are actually quite a few girls who like Quidditch, but Dolly is the only one who can understand her and who also likes Quidditch.

She simply enthusiastically told Dolly everything about Quidditch, completely forgetting the time, and only realized it was getting late when she saw Dolly start to yawn.

"Do you have classes tomorrow morning?"

"Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. My brother said he just reads from the textbook and doesn't even sleep."

Qiu Zhang immediately pulled Duoli up and said, "Even if it's just textbook knowledge, you must keep up. You can't let chatting with me delay your studies."

"Come on, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

Qiu Zhang pushed Dolly and felt her body, which was much thinner than hers. It was hard to imagine how such a huge power could burst out from such a body.

Maybe this is why Dolly is so charming, making Qiu Zhang feel that she can also burst out with strong enough power.

The two of them quickly arrived at Dolly's door, and Qiu Zhang took the initiative to open the door for Dolly.

But after opening the door, Qiu Zhang remained motionless, as if he had been hit by a freezing spell.

Ok?

Dolly felt strange and tilted her head to look inside the door, only to see a cat face that looked aggrieved.

Crookshanks was floating upside down in the air, and Hermione was practicing a levitation charm with it.

65 Chapter 1 More Li: Sneak Attack!

Crookshanks saw Dolly and meowed as if he had seen a savior.

Now Dolly only wanted to shut Crookshanks up so as not to reveal her position.

It's a pity that this is in vain. Even Qiu Zhang could feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

She knew that Hermione didn't like her very much, but she didn't know the specific reason, and she even subconsciously considered racial issues.

If it were just her, it would be fine if she and Hermione ignored each other.

But now that Dolly is here, she has to try to get along well with Hermione.

So Qiu Zhang tentatively said, "Good evening, Granger, are you still awake?"

"I just chatted with Dolly about Oriental movies. Last time she told me that she really likes Hong Kong movies. I plan to ask my father to buy her some videotapes."

Dolly, who was standing by, looked very unhappy.

Is this a suitable excuse?

If it is just a private chat between two people, this excuse is undoubtedly appropriate.

But what normal person would secretly meet up with friends late at night just to chat about movies from a foreign country?

It would be better to say that the two of them secretly had a midnight snack without Hermione's knowledge. That way, Hermione would believe it more.

Hermione didn't answer and continued to tease - let's just say teasing - Crookshanks. Qiu Zhang didn't know what to say now, and could only look at Dolly for help.

Dolly gently nudged Qiu Zhang from behind the door and said, "Leave it to me to handle from now on, Senior Qiu Zhang, we should all rest now."

"Okay, okay."

Qiu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Duoli with some worry.

Finally, he left, looking back every three steps, and disappeared on the spiral staircase, going up to the next floor.

Dolly entered the room, closed the door softly, and then said and did nothing.

He just lay back on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and breathed evenly.

Although Hermione kept looking at Crookshanks on the surface, her attention was actually on Dolly.

She didn't even listen carefully to the reasons Qiu Zhang gave.

After all, Qiu Zhang is not important, but Dolly is very important.

She only has Dolly as her friend, so naturally she hopes Dolly will spend all her time with her except for studying. This should be an equal relationship, right?

But Dolly is very different from her. Not only is she a girl with a younger brother, but she also makes friends easily and there are always people around her who can communicate with her enthusiastically.

This made Hermione feel a sense of crisis, worrying that Dolly would become someone else's friend and forget about her in the next second.

Her teasing of Crookshanks was essentially a demonstration, trying to make Dolly understand.

Shouldn't Dolly have secretly gone out at night to meet other girls without telling her? Shouldn't she have at least told her?

Dolly had just recovered from a serious illness. Wasn't it a joke on her body for her to go out in the cool breeze wearing a coat and pajamas?

Hermione had a lot to say to Dolly.

Just waiting for Dolly to speak to her, she would fire like a machine gun, letting Dolly know her unhappiness and her mistakes.

As a result, Dolly ignored her.

It was as if her anger and dissatisfaction were insignificant, not as important as Dolly going to bed early, and far less important than the Asian girl's midnight invitation.

Hermione pursed her lips and suddenly felt that bullying Crookshanks was boring.

He threw down his wand, then angrily pulled up the quilt to cover his head and curled up in the darkness. A slight sourness spread in his chest, and finally gradually spread to his eye sockets.

She knew her eyes were red, and this was not the first time she cried for her friend.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, how is it possible for a child not to try to make friends?

It’s a pity that Hermione never made any friends. In the end, she could only put all her energy into studying, and use it to satisfy her empty and lonely heart.

She originally thought that after arriving at Hogwarts, she would have a different life and gain a friend named Dolly.

But now everything seems to have returned to its original track, and the only things that can accompany her are the heavy textbooks and the teacher's encouragement.

Friends and such...are destined to have nothing to do with her.

Hermione closed her eyes, wanting to fall asleep, but her shoulders twitched slightly.

Is she crying?

Hermione didn't know.

Because she can't see.

Just as Hermione's emotions were gradually getting worse, a figure suddenly tiptoed down from Dolly's bed and came to Hermione's bed.

This is of course Dolly!

The reason she remained silent and even ignored Hermione just now was simply because she didn't want to get into an argument.

Hermione was angry, and a girl who is angry is not very rational. It is almost impossible to try to communicate with the other person rationally in that situation.

So you can only wait for the other person to calm down before you can try to solve the problem between the two of you.

Of course, the premise is that you really value the other person and are willing to spend time and energy to accompany the other person.
