The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

At the same time, Dolly was warned that the arm bones could only move normally, and it would take at least a week of rest to return to their original strength.

This is consistent with Dolly's guess. The bones grown by the Bone Spirit still have some defects after all, but they are already strong enough.

Dolly thanked Madam Pomfrey and changed into her own clothes, which had been simply repaired by Madam Pomfrey, although one of the sleeves was still missing and it was completely scrapped.

Then they left the school hospital, but just as they turned the corner, Dolly called Diandian out.

Dolly said excitedly, "Hey, Diandian, can you take me teleporting... oh no, I mean Apparition?"

Hogwarts prohibits all wizards from Apparating, but living creatures can ignore this ban because their magic is not exactly the same as that of wizards.

For example, Dumbledore's phoenix, and the house-elf in front of him.

"I'm weak and want to go straight back to the dormitory. Can you help me?"

88 Chapter 2: Staying in bed with Hermione

Diandian agreed immediately. This was a very common thing for him. After all, they used Apparition to work freely in Hogwarts.

This is also the reason why the young wizards basically cannot see them, not simply because they are asked to actively avoid contact with the young wizards.

Diandian said respectfully: "Master Dursley, please put your hand on my shoulder. This may get your hands dirty, but..."

Dolly interrupted Diandian and said, "I will put my handkerchief on your shoulder, and then you can wash it and give it back to me."

Diandian quickly thanked Dolly. This way he could protect Dolly's hands from getting dirty by his dirty shoulders, and he could also get the opportunity to serve Dolly again.

Although it still felt a little wrong, Dolly's handkerchief was already draped over Diandian's shoulders, like a small epaulette.

The next second, Diandian snapped his fingers, and Dolly disappeared from where she was and went straight to her bedroom.

Crookshanks, who was still sleeping beside Hermione, was so frightened that he jumped to the ground and then bent over to Dolly, as if he was going to fight Dolly to the death.

But Crookshanks, who was half-bent over, and could see clearly in the darkness, immediately discovered that the person coming was Dolly.

There was a hint of human surprise in its eyes, and it obviously wanted to pounce on Dolly and act coquettishly. It could understand that Dolly was injured.

Because Dolly was injured and went to the hospital, it meant that Hermione was distracted, couldn't sleep well, and had no mood to play with her.

The worst part was that Hermione would even forget to feed it cat food and clean up its poop, which made Crookshanks feel like he was being abused.

Fortunately, Dolly is back now and everything can return to normal.

However, it sniffed in disdain at the little dot beside Dolly, thinking that this half-grown two-legged upright humanoid creature was a little too ugly.

Diandian also looked at the big cat worriedly, afraid that it would pounce on him and bite his throat at any time.

Comparing the size of the two, Diandian meeting Crookshanks is like a human meeting a lion.

But it soon felt relieved because Crookshanks was obviously not interested in it and just meowed softly at Dolly as a greeting.

Dolly raised her finger to signal Crookshanks to be quiet, then looked at the familiar environment and felt that Apparition was really a useful magic.

The reason why using Apparition is a taboo in Hogwarts is that the founders of this place used an anti-Apparition spell on the entire castle in order to protect the safety of the young wizards.

Otherwise, if the adult dark wizards used Apparition to kill people randomly, or if the young wizards used Apparition to commit suicide randomly, the whole Hogwarts would be in chaos.

In contrast, house-elves would not be targeted in this way. After all, no one believed that a house-elf would hurt a wizard.

After understanding this, Dolly couldn't help but start thinking.

If the house-elves are ever truly liberated, Hogwarts will probably have to set up a new spell to prevent them from Apparating.

After all, who knows what someone might do with the house-elves?

Dolly could only be thankful that not many people knew that house-elves could Apparate within Hogwarts.

Voldemort simply disdained to have any contact with creatures like house-elves. As long as Dolly didn't let Diandian show off this skill in front of everyone, there would be no problem keeping it secret at least in the short term.

Dolly waved at Dot, then pointed at Hermione who was still sleeping.

Diandian immediately understood and disappeared holding Dolly's handkerchief.

The room returned to silence. The sun had not risen yet, so the room was still dim.

Only Crookshanks' big eyes were staring at Dolly expectantly, wanting Dolly to give him a taste of the cat noodles that he had not tasted for several days.

It was a pity that Dolly only had eyes for Hermione, completely ignoring Crookshanks who was rolling around cutely, and then she lifted the corner of Hermione's quilt and gently crawled in.

Then Dolly lay down behind Hermione, reached out and gently hugged Hermione's waist, her chest resting on Hermione's back, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Hermione's warmth was like the most delicious dessert after a meal, making Dolly feel the taste of happiness.

And Hermione's frown in her sleep slowly relaxed.

It was as if the nightmare of Dolly being hunted was over, and the two of them returned to their carefree lives, enjoying every moment together reading or playing by the Black Lake.

Hermione even took Dolly's hand and held it in her arms, then brought it to her mouth and bit it subconsciously like eating French fries... Huh?

Hermione finally realized something was wrong in a daze. Wasn't Dolly still in the school hospital?

She jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, grabbed the wand on the bedside, and cast a freezing spell on Dolly with her backhand.

In an instant, Dolly's body was completely stiff and unable to move, and her face still showed surprise at Hermione's sudden jump.

Hermione used Lumos to light up the room, and then she saw that the person she had frozen was Dolly. She immediately released Dolly from her stiff state in a panic.

Then, looking at Dolly's aggrieved look, he felt angry and amused, and raised his hand, wanting to give Dolly a punch as a lesson.

Who made Dolly crawl into her bed as soon as she came back from the school hospital?

Although Hermione didn't mind this, she didn't know Dolly was back, so Dolly was still responsible for being scared.

But Hermione realized Dolly's injury and finally chose to pull Dolly up to sit together. She lit the oil lamp with her wand, then lifted Dolly's arm and looked down at it carefully.

She touched and pinched Dolly's index finger, inch by inch, and then moved upwards to knead Dolly's shoulders.

It seemed that he was not going to let go of even the armpits. Dolly finally couldn't help it and playfully tickled Hermione's weak spot with her backhand.

Hermione smiled with relief now and began to fight back against Dolly.

The two of them immediately started laughing and joking until the sun came out. The orange-red sunlight poured through the window onto the head of the bed and onto their bodies, illuminating their slightly messy hair and rosy cheeks.

Dolly and Hermione lay sideways on the bed, hand in hand, facing each other, looking at each other's faces which were slightly sweaty, and the atmosphere returned to calm.

Looking at Dolly who was full of energy, Hermione smiled and her eyes became red again, as if she remembered Dolly's dying look again.

After all, this incident only happened two or three days ago.

Dolly suffered tremendous pain, and those around her who cared about her, especially Hermione and Qiu Zhang, also suffered tremendous mental pressure.

This is obviously not something that 11 or 12-year-old children should face, and this goes for Dolly, Hermione, and Qiu Zhang as well.

Seeing that Hermione looked like she was about to burst into tears, Dolly was about to comfort Hermione, but Hermione suddenly pulled her body.

The two people approached each other rapidly, and just as their noses were about to touch, Hermione suddenly lowered her head.

The crisp sound of forehead collision startled Crookshanks, who was looking out the window at his territory in the morning light, and Dolly even screamed.

"It hurts, Hermione!"

"You still feel pain!"

Hermione finally snapped and said, "You fought the troll alone, you killed the troll alone, your body is almost broken into pieces, why are you so brave!"

"If you kill a troll today, you'll have to kill a dragon tomorrow, and use your fists!"

"Dolly, you're just a first-year wizard. Can you please not make your school life so terrifying?"

Dolly touched her forehead and gently rubbed Hermione's forehead with her newly recovered hand. She said, "Don't use the word horrible. How about colorful?"

"no!"

Hermione became even more annoyed, just like Crookshanks who had just been angry, and said, "It's horrible. That's not the richness that belongs to us. I don't want to see you lying in a pool of blood next time. Do you understand?"

Dolly nodded repeatedly, opened her eyes wide and imitated Crookshanks' cute look, hoping that Hermione would forgive her.

But now Hermione doesn't need to forgive Dolly, because she also has to apologize to Dolly.

"And I should also apologize to you. I tried to separate from you for some reasons of my own, and the result of my temper was that I almost lost my best friend."

"Dolly, if I lose my temper again, you have to let me know I'm wrong, even if you have to use a spell. Do you understand?"

Dolly was a little moved and said excitedly: "Just like before, use the freezing spell, then find a feather and point it at the palm of your hand..."

Dolly became more and more excited as she spoke, and Hermione, who had just been immersed in her apology, gradually began to look strange.

In the end, she crossed her arms in anger, waiting to see how many more ways Dolly could torment her.

But Dolly's next words made Hermione burst out laughing again.

"Of course, the above is just a joke. I can't bear to really torture our Miss Granger."

"The most I can do is twist your nose."

Dolly reached out to twist Hermione's nose. Normally, Hermione would have dodged quickly, after all, this was too childish for a first-year student.

But this time Hermione sighed softly, as if she was wondering why her roommate was so childish.

Then she raised her chin and handed her nose to Dolly, who shook Hermione's nose left and right twice.

Then the two of them laughed heartily again.

This laughter made Crookshanks look indifferent, as if he was looking at two heartless brats.

Oh, they are indeed little devils, that's okay.

"Okay, it's getting late. Normally you should get up, wash up, and go study in the lobby."

Dolly stretched and was about to sit up.

Hermione, however, held Dolly's shoulders and said in an unquestionable tone, "You are not allowed to go anywhere now. Stay with me until dinner."

"Let me take another good look at you. Otherwise, if you really disappear one day and I can't remember what you look like, then I will be the most unqualified friend."

Dolly then realized that Hermione was really scared this time.

Not only emotionally, but also deep down in my heart, there have been some changes in my personality.

Although Dolly was also frightened, she was ultimately much stronger than Hermione in terms of willpower and experience.

So she showed a perfect smile, then cupped Hermione's cheeks with both hands, allowing Hermione to observe every inch of her face closely.

There's even a vague urge to add a little more charm... Of course, it's just an urge.

The two of them stared at each other closely, as if they had forgotten the time, until they heard noise outside the door and realized that a long time had passed.

Suddenly, Hermione felt that Dolly's face, which was so close to her, was familiar yet strangely familiar. There seemed to be a strange sense of distance, even though they were so close.

It turns out that I have watched too much. I will have to watch it every day in the future. What should I do when I get tired of it?

She laughed, reached out and pushed Dolly's face, and said, "It's time to eat. Get out of my bed and leave me alone for a while."

"Hurry up, or I'm going to kick you in the thigh."

"Okay, don't kick me, I'll be right down."

Dolly followed orders obediently, knowing that the frightened Hermione needed time to heal her wounds. Wasn't Dolly the same?

So in the next period of time, she needs to enjoy her daily life. While strengthening her abilities, she also needs to think about how to deal with Quirrell's plan.

As dinner approached, the two finally finished washing up, which was incredible for Hermione, who always got up early and studied hard.

At this moment, Harry, who had sat down early in the lobby, looked at the empty seat next to Dolly, his face full of anxiety.

After he got up, he went to look for Dolly, but was told by Madam Pomfrey that Dolly had been discharged from the hospital.

So he came to the lobby early and waited for Dolly to show up, but seeing that many people had already started eating and Dolly had not shown up, Harry's heart was in suspense again.

Could it be that Dolly encountered some terrible danger again on the way to school, such as a dragon this time?

Just at this moment, Malfoy, who had been observing for a long time, came over.

Lucius forbad Malfoy from causing trouble, and Malfoy had indeed endured it for a long time, but this opportunity was rare.

It was obvious that Dolly was about to disappear from Hogwarts completely, and the famous Harry Potter was like a stray dog.

If he doesn't act now, when will he act?

Of course, Malfoy had already made up his mind to use words instead of violence to defeat Harry, a pure-blood noble, and to use the art of language to break Harry's defenses.

So he spoke: "Harry Potter, how is our Miss Dursley? Will she recover? We are really worried about her health."

"If she dies, please remember to let me know and I will read the eulogy at her funeral."
