The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

That was all Dolly could do for now.

So Dolly said seriously again: "I'm not kidding. Maybe next time something scarier than the troll will come after you. Can you really bear it?"

"I want you to live a happy and healthy life, and my involvement is a foregone conclusion, but you can still leave."

At this point, Dolly's voice visibly deepened.

Even though she has the soul of an adult, she has been able to integrate into the segmentation in the past six months.

After all, she had never had good friends like Hermione and Qiu Zhang in her previous life. Dolly was obviously reluctant to part with them.

But she always has to consider the safety of her friends. Life safety is above everything else, and there are higher interests that are nobler than life. At least now, Dolly cannot understand and agree with this.

Hermione and Qiu Zhang also realized that Dolly was serious.

Hermione's eyes turned red in an instant. She was originally sitting opposite Dolly, but she suddenly stood up, took a step over half a meter, and sat down next to Dolly, shoulder to shoulder.

Then she took Dolly's hand without saying anything, forced Dolly to face her, and said, "Dolly Dursley, I must tell you that even if you keep your distance from me, I can't ignore you."

"If I saw you in danger, I would definitely rush to help you. Now you have a choice. Do you want to face these dangers with me, or wait until you are truly dead and rush to die with me?"

Dolly laughed angrily and said, "You are a Ravenclaw. Can't you wait for me to die and be patient, and then find an opportunity to help me avenge?"

"How could you possibly do such a stupid thing as rushing forward to die together? Have you turned into a little lion of Gryffindor?"

Hermione angrily punched Dolly because she interrupted her sincere expression.

But she still said firmly: "We are friends in the same dormitory. You plan to keep your distance from me. How can you do that?"

"Perhaps I can ask Dumbledore for a separate dormitory..."

"you dare!"

Before Dolly finished speaking, Hermione had already raised her eyebrows and said in a voice almost squeezed out from her teeth: "Dolly Dursley, you must live in the same dormitory with me, from the beginning of the term until you leave Hogwarts!"

"If you really dare to avoid me, then I will let you know how terrifying I, Hermione Granger, am when I get angry!"

Dolly blinked, her face full of curiosity, and said, "How terrible is it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dolly felt her body stiffen, as if she was frozen.

It turned out that Hermione had stretched out her arm behind Dolly, waved her wand, and used a freezing spell on Dolly.

Looking at the frozen beauty in front of her, Hermione's face actually turned a faint red. She reached out and touched Dolly's forehead, nose tip and lips. Finally, she touched Dolly's chin, smiled happily, and said, "That's how scary it is. Do you understand?"

"If you dare to leave me, it won't just be Death Eaters who attack you."

Dolly felt her heart suddenly speed up and start beating violently as if it was overclocked.

Because at this moment, she actually felt danger from Hermione, as if she was facing a magical giant monster. She always felt that if Hermione continued, it would be completely unpredictable what she would do.

Dolly, who was frightened, glanced towards Qiu Zhang, trying to get his help.

As a result, Qiu Zhang held his chin with one hand and watched all this with great interest, as if he was watching Dolly and Hermione playing a game, and did not feel the dangerous aura emanating from Hermione at all.

Hmm... maybe I didn't feel anything at all?

Qiu Zhang's slightly narrowed eyes and happy mouth always made Dolly feel that she seemed to understand and was watching the fun.

But that shouldn't be possible... Qiu Zhang isn't that kind of character, right?

"Okay, Hermione, don't really scare Dolly."

Qiu Zhang finally spoke. Hermione looked at Qiu Zhang with dissatisfaction and lifted the spell on Dolly.

Dolly immediately pushed Hermione down and pressed her down on her bed, saying viciously, "You use a spell on me, don't you worry about my revenge?"

Hermione chuckled, as if she had been tickled, and continued, "So, Miss Dursley, how are you going to take revenge on me, like you did on Malfoy?"

Then, blinking his smart eyes, he seemed to have seen through Dolly.

Duo Li was silent for a moment, snorted coldly, sat down next to Qiu Zhang, and said loudly and righteously: "I can't bear it, okay?"

Hermione laughed even louder, rolling around on Dolly's bed, as if she had foreseen all this, and as if her funny spot had been tickled repeatedly.

Dolly was embarrassed. Qiu Zhang took Dolly's hand, his expression restored to his usual gentleness, and whispered softly, "Dolly, you've asked us so many questions. Can I ask you one too?"

Dolly nodded and said, "Of course."

"So suppose it's me... and Hermione who are being attacked by Death Eaters. What will you do? Will you protect us or run away?"

"Isn't this a matter of course? Of course I will do my best to protect you."

Dolly looked at Qiu Zhang with a strange look, as if wondering why such a smart person like her would ask such a question.

Qiu Zhang also laughed, obviously satisfied with Dolly's answer, and then asked Dolly a question: "I can see that you take this for granted."

"But have you ever thought about why you take this for granted?"

"That's because... uh."

Dolly wanted to tell the answer, but she didn't dare to say it for fear of being thrown into Azkaban.

Of course, there could be a more plausible explanation, such as that she has lived two lives, but such words certainly cannot be said.

So Dolly could only remain silent in embarrassment.

"Perhaps you don't even realize it yourself. You consider yourself a protector, even though Hermione and I are both a year older than you."

Qiu Zhang felt that he saw through everything and continued to narrate.

Hermione sat up and said angrily, "I'm not even a year older than Dolly. We're both in the first year, and you're the one who's a year older!"

Obviously, Hermione is still very concerned about her age.

"If you admit that you are young, why not call me sister?"

Qiu Zhang gave Hermione a provocative look, and Hermione snorted in response without any appreciation.

Qiu Zhang didn't take it seriously and continued, "Maybe you're used to being Harry's sister, or maybe it's the confidence your boxing training gave you."

"Anyway, no matter what the reason is, Dolly, you are not the one who needs to shoulder everything to protect Hermione and me. On the contrary, Hermione and I feel that we should protect you more."

"Besides us, there are professors, other students, and you have your brother and his friends."

Finally, Qiu Zhang simply held Dolly in his arms, gently placed his hands on Dolly's back, patted and stroked slowly, and said: "Be good, you can trust Hermione and me completely, although it's cute to see you holding up everything by yourself."

Dolly was a little addicted to Qiu Zhang's tenderness for a moment, but then she realized that she was not a real child. As a result, she wanted to struggle but was locked by Qiu Zhang's arms around her waist.

Hmm... maybe it's okay not to struggle?

Duoli gently sniffed the pleasant scent of Qiu Zhang, and decided to forget about her past life and completely integrate into the segmentation...

Hermione finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she sat on the other side of Dolly, pulled the dizzy Dolly up, and let Dolly sit between her and Qiu Zhang.

Then he concluded: "In short, I can't let you face danger alone. I'm with you."

"And I."

The two girls' reactions and their warm palms made Dolly's eyes moisten.

Apparently they also noticed this, and each of them used a handkerchief to help Dolly wipe the corners of her eyes, but unfortunately each of them could only wipe one eye, so they all looked at each other with some dissatisfaction.

It's a pity that now that they have reconciled, given the current environment and atmosphere, they can't argue again.

So the three of them immersed themselves in the warm and harmonious atmosphere, enjoying the warm emotions that came after being honest with each other.

It’s a pity that Harry, who had just won the game, wanted to hear more praise from his sister, but he couldn’t find anyone no matter what.

Afterwards, life at Hogwarts seemed to return to normal.

Even the Quidditch matches are limited to one match per month for each house, in order to give them more time to recover, rest and train.

However, as time passed, the Christmas atmosphere at Hogwarts gradually became stronger.

Although it might sound strange that wizards celebrate Christmas, since everyone is used to it, Dolly naturally won't waste her brain cells on it.

However, compared to the ordinary holiday of Christmas, Dolly was more concerned about another major event that happened on the same day.

This major event will have a profound impact on the development of the entire world, so much so that even the magical world will be affected. After all, there are wizards and magic academies on that huge land.

Of course, none of this actually has anything to do with Dolly.

Even though she knew such a grand historical fact, she did not have the time and energy to get involved in it.

Of course, the most important thing is that we don’t have the strength.

The entire Dursley family, including real estate, might not have a net worth of one million pounds, not to mention Dolly and the people she knew, and it was impossible for them to really go to such a sensitive place and gamble their lives.

It is still the safest and most reliable way to invest in hot stocks and make a little money.

But just a week before Christmas, a letter arrived in front of Dolly.

The letter looked ordinary, but it was sent from Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

96 Christmas 1991

The person who wrote the letter was Serrano, the fairy Dolly was most familiar with.

The content of this letter was very simple. It was just the hope to have a chance to have another chat with Dolly to talk about Dolly's views on the Muggle world.

Apparently, what Dolly wrote for Serrano worked.

What Dolly wrote was also very simple. She dreamed of a huge country falling apart, affecting the entire world pattern.

If wizards read what Dolly wrote, they might feel confused. After all, some of them had never even been to Britain and had no international perspective. Naturally, they had no idea what this country called the Soviet Union meant.

But fairies are different.

It is obvious that they will not be satisfied with just earning the little salary from the Ministry of Magic, but will find ways to earn more gold. This is in their nature and will not stop unless they die one day.

Over the years, the goblins have also figured out their own effective methods.

Anyway, the Ministry of Magic wants results. As for the process, most wizards cannot understand it, and they don’t have the time and energy to check the many accounts on hand of the goblins.

Therefore, the goblins only need to ensure that the final result desired by the Ministry of Magic can be achieved. As for what happens in the middle process, the goblins actually have a lot of freedom.

The freedom here naturally includes contact with Muggles - or contact with wizards from Muggle families, and then cashing in from the Muggle world.

Of course, as the entire wizarding world is becoming increasingly conservative and closed due to the Wizarding Secrecy Statute and the successive appearances of Dark Lords like Grindelwald and Voldemort, the goblins dare not go too far.

For example, they dare not let magic and potions really appear in front of Muggles, but they try to create some antiques that are worthless in their eyes, or make treasures that should have been lost reappear in the world.

Or they could move some materials that are flooding the wizarding world but are extremely valuable in the Muggle world, and finally introduce some things from the Muggle world for magical transformation, thereby changing the appearance of the Ministry of Magic or the wizarding world.

This is not inherently difficult for the goblins.

But this is ultimately just a small-scale fight, and there is still a long way to go before the fairies can take back all the gold in the world that "belongs" to them.

However, the appearance of Dolly made them realize that they could develop a new track.

That is to use wizards with prophetic abilities to make predictions about the Muggle world, and then invest in the general trend of the Muggle world, and finally earn enough profits.

In the Muggle world, this is called venture capital?

The fairies have also conducted special research on this, but unfortunately their understanding is still limited.

Because even wizards from Muggle families spent their most precious student years in Hogwarts.

After they graduate from Hogwarts, they may still be able to live in the Muggle world.

But it is still a bit difficult to ask them to understand the economic situation in the Muggle world and make some predictions.
