The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

After all, if Muggle economics experts can't do it, how can half-baked wizards possibly do it?

Unless this wizard can predict.

Prophecy is not a myth in the magical world, but something that really exists.

There is a hall in the Ministry of Magic that is dedicated to storing prophecies. The prophecy about Harry is just one of them. There are thousands of prophecy glass balls stored in it.

Although not all prophecies come true, there will always be some prophets who pass the test of time and prove that they do have such a unique talent.

And now Dolly seems to be about to prove her talent - over the past six months, the goblins have done their best to collect information about the latest situation in the Muggle world, and in the end all the information increasingly points to the authenticity of the words written by Dolly.

As the year is coming to an end and the day Dolly mentioned is approaching, the fairies are getting anxious and restless.

However, after seeing the letter, Dolly simply crumpled it up calmly and set it on fire with a fire spell, destroying all traces of it.

She naturally knew how huge an impact the collapse of the Soviet Union had on the world and how great an opportunity it contained.

It was enough for Dolly to acquire endless wealth at an astonishing speed - of course, Dolly didn't want to and didn't dare to do such a thing, let alone have the ability to do so.

As for plans like using prophecies as a cover to drive tigers to devour wolves and make goblins their pawns, if Dolly had Dumbledore's level of strength, she could still give it a try.

Since she is still targeting Quirrell this year, it is better for her to be extremely vigilant against the goblins.

These goblins are not to be trifled with for the sake of gold.

They would be wary of the Ministry of Magic, but they certainly wouldn't be wary of an 11-year-old witch.

But this does not mean that Dolly is completely unable to cooperate with the fairies.

Anyway, as long as she knows the fairies' weaknesses and doesn't touch their core interests - gold, Dolly can also get some candies to replenish her own strength.

But before that, Dolly had to let these fairies off the hook first to facilitate the subsequent bargaining.

Anyway, Dolly can't meet them now, right?

As Christmas draws closer, the winter atmosphere in Hogwarts becomes more and more intense.

When Dolly got up this morning and looked out the window, the entire Hogwarts had turned into a sea of ice and snow.

Several feet of snow easily inspired the students to have a snowball fight, but fortunately Dolly was a Ravenclaw, so she naturally didn't have to join in the fun...

However, when Hermione picked up a snowball and hit Dolly in the face, the nature of the problem had quietly changed.

Dolly immediately scooped up a handful of snow, caught up with Hermione who was screaming and running away, then pulled up the back of Hermione's collar and stuffed all the snow into it.

Now Hermione was hit by Dolly's freezing spell (physical), and she lay straight in Dolly's arms, shivering as if she was frozen.

Dolly hurried to help her clean up, but Hermione repaid her with ingratitude.

She used a levitation spell to control a snowball the size of a human head and chased Dolly, vowing to make Dolly experience the same pain.

Dolly found Qiu Zhang as her backer, hugged Qiu Zhang from behind and leaned on her back blatantly, playing the game of eagle catching chickens with the aggressive Hermione.

But Hermione's hand slipped and the snowball fell on Qiu Zhang's head, turning the black-haired Qiu Zhang into a white-haired one. The nature of the incident changed again.

The three of them chased each other, and soon steam began to come out of their heads, and their bodies and hair became wet. Then they looked at each other and laughed without any scruples.

Then the three of them left the scene hand in hand and chose to return to their dormitory to take a shower and change clothes.

Although the water stains on the body can be easily cleaned with magic, hot water is obviously more relaxing and can relieve fatigue.

After the three people left, the snowball fight at Hogwarts officially began with the participation of most of the Gryffindors.

The red-haired twins even cast a spell on the snowballs, making them fly towards Quirrell like butterflies and hit the back of Quirrell's head.

While doing this, they also shouted that they were learning from Malfoy.

It is worth mentioning here that the previous attack on Quirrell was most likely classified as a prank by Malfoy.

The reason why it is said to be a high probability is that this matter was naturally suppressed and did not cause much trouble.

Quirrell did not pursue the matter afterwards, and Snape did not punish Malfoy. He just symbolically deducted five points from Malfoy, but it was still a great humiliation for Malfoy.

Not only did he fail to help his headmaster win the Quidditch match, but he also took the blame for no reason and was almost regarded as the clown of Slytherin.

After Wu Duoli and others left, Malfoy was so angry that he shed tears. He would remember this humiliation for the rest of his life and would definitely take revenge in the future.

However, Lucius's ban has not yet expired, so Malfoy still doesn't dare to do anything excessive.

But now that he was provoked by the red-haired twins, Carrots, Malfoy could no longer bear it and went straight out to fight Gryffindor, thus an epic showdown between Gryffindor and Slytherin began.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall hurried over that the Gryffindor students stopped digging snowballs into the mud, and the Slytherin students stopped trying to turn stones into snowballs.

If they continue to fight, it will probably escalate into a magical war soon, and it won't be long before Madam Pomfrey is completely furious.

Dolly and Hermione, who had already finished their bath, wrapped themselves in thick blankets and sat on the wide windowsill, looking down at the people playing snowballs below, holding a cup of hot cocoa in their hands, enjoying this unique warmth and comfort.

Not long after, Qiu Zhang also ran in. Under Hermione's somewhat resentful gaze, he squeezed in between the two of them with a comfortable smile on his face.

Ever since Dolly confessed the risks she faced to Hermione and Qiu Zhang, Qiu Zhang automatically unlocked a new right, which was to enter Dolly and Hermione's bedroom at any time.

There is nothing strange about this as long as the original owner of the bedroom allows it.

But considering Hermione's previous character, Qiu Zhang was obviously the first person to have this right.

More importantly, Qiu Zhang obviously did not consider himself an outsider. Sometimes Hermione even had the illusion that Qiu Zhang was already living in their dormitory.

Fortunately, Qiu Zhang had different courses from the other two, and was also busy with Quidditch training, so she only came a few times. This was why Hermione was not really dissatisfied.

The three of them didn't say much, just chatting and laughing occasionally, until an owl hit the glass, interrupting the warm atmosphere among the three.

Hermione quickly opened the window, let the frozen owl into the house, and put it in the cat's nest to warm it up for a while.

As for Crookshanks, he naturally ran to the middle of the three girls with disgust and found the most comfortable position to squeeze in.

"Another letter from you?"

Hermione handed the letter to Dolly, looking puzzled. "Why do you get letters every day lately? Judging from the style of the letters, they're all written by the same person. Have you made some pen pals?"

Dolly looked at Hermione with a puzzled look and said, "Why would I need to find a pen pal when I have you as my friends? Aren't you cute and pretty enough?"

Hermione curled her lips. She was almost immune to Dolly's words.

Qiu Zhang, however, enjoyed it very much. He looked at Duoli with his bright dark eyes, as if he was hoping that Duoli would ask him to say more.

Hermione squeezed in front of Qiu Zhang, stuffed the letter to Dolly, and said, "What's the matter? Isn't it inconvenient for us to know?"

Although Hermione's tone was questioning, the curiosity in her eyes was almost bubbling.

Dolly took the letter, thought for a few seconds, and said, "It's okay to tell you, but don't tell anyone else about this."

"It's not dangerous, but it might cause some trouble."

Then, Dolly spread out the letter and let her two friends read it together.

Sure enough, it was a letter from Serrano, and the tone was more urgent than before. He even planned to meet Dolly during Christmas.

"Fairies? What do they want to see you for? You don't owe them money, do you?"

Hermione's face was full of surprise, and she had some understanding of the goblin's character.

Qiu Zhang even offered, "If it's a financial problem, maybe I can help."

Dolly shook her head and said, "Don't be so serious. Actually, the fairies are asking me for help, and I haven't decided whether to help them or not."

Dolly then talked about some of the things that might happen next.

As for why she knew all this, Dolly used the excuse that she seemed to have seen some fragments of the future on the day her magic power awakened.

Qiu Zhang and Hermione didn't doubt Dolly's words at all.

They all knew that Dolly's strange disease could even devour bones and flesh, so from this perspective, it was not unacceptable for some other strange phenomena to occur.

"So, the Soviet Union is going to disappear?"

Qiu Zhang's face turned slightly pale. Her background determined that she had a deeper understanding of this country than Hermione.

"The Muggle world will be in complete chaos, and...how is this possible? I heard it's very powerful, the strongest country!"

Dolly shrugged and said, "I don't know the exact reason, but it was bound to happen."

In fact, Dolly still knew some of the reasons. After all, analyzing the reasons for this day would be a hot topic in later generations, but she still decided not to explore it in depth.

Dolly has learned to be cautious in the past six months. After all, she is no longer alone now. She has important friends around her and has to be wary of Voldemort's revenge.

"Of course, I also hope that I am dreaming, but we will see the results in a few days."

Hermione finally reacted at this time and said worriedly, "Will our world break out into a world war because of this?"

"They all have nuclear weapons. Will we be affected by that?"

It's not surprising that Hermione knows about nuclear weapons. She's a top student in a Muggle elementary school and must have read some relatively superficial popular science books.

Dolly took Hermione's hand, put it in her arms, and said, "It shouldn't happen. Even if something like this really happens, we can hide in Hogwarts."

"They're not going to use a nuclear bomb on Hogwarts, and they can't find Hogwarts."

Although Dolly said this, she didn't think Hogwarts would be safe forever.

Faced with the rapid development of human technology, if wizards do not work harder, one day they will be on the headlines of the Internet without even knowing it.

Of course, that was not something Dolly, a little witch who graduated in 1998, had to consider. Changing the status quo of the wizarding world was also not within Dolly's current considerations.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to help the goblins?"

Qiu Zhang said seriously, "I have a rough idea of what you are going to do, but can you trust the goblins?"

"When it comes to gold, they are still loyal enough. As long as I don't steal their gold, they have no reason to betray me."

"Of course, I don't really hope that these goblins can be trusted. This is just a small attempt on my part."

After everything was explained, Hermione and Qiu Zhang felt relieved.

Next, Hermione and Qiu Zhang, who usually don't care about politics, couldn't help but discuss the topic of the Soviet Union with Dolly for a long time.

After just half a day, the two people's interest visibly decreased. In comparison, the topic of Christmas was more likely to arouse their enthusiasm.

Dolly also put this important matter behind her and began to focus on the Christmas at hand.

This Christmas is a very important holiday for the whole plot.

Because this Christmas, Harry will receive the Potter family's ancestral invisibility cloak, and will also see the Mirror of Erised, a mirror that can fulfill people's wishes - in fact, it is just a magic prop that displays the image of people's wishes in the mirror.

Dolly is very interested in the invisibility cloak, mainly because she wants to see if the cloak has any properties and whether the so-called Grim Reaper actually exists.

If Dolly had the chance, she would like to go and see the Mirror of Erised so that she could use its help to determine what she really wants.

Dolly knew too much, so her thoughts were naturally more complicated and her desires were greater.

She just hoped that what she saw in the mirror wasn't something too vulgar or indescribable.

In the blink of an eye, Christmas day has arrived.

Dolly and Hermione opened their eyes early the next morning and immediately saw a pile of gifts beside their beds.

Although both used the quantifier "a bunch", Dolly had a lot more gifts than Hermione, so many that Dolly felt a little embarrassed because the gifts she had given out were not as many as hers.

Now she will be busy next Christmas, but she can make up for it with snacks and toys from the Muggle world.

"Merry Christmas, Dolly, you are very welcome."

Hermione's tone was a little sour, but she quickly got down to opening the presents.

Dolly wished Hermione a happy holiday, then got up excitedly and went to the pile of gifts.

This was her first time to experience a real Christmas in person, and also her first time to receive gifts from so many people. Dolly was naturally very happy.

But soon Dolly's nature became much lower, and most of the gifts were candies and the like, which made Dolly more determined to use items from the Muggle world as gifts next year.

Things didn't get interesting until Dolly opened Hermione's gift.

97 At least when you are alone...

Dolly felt the shape of the gift in her hand and had a rough guess in her mind.

This is a book, and giving a book as a gift is very consistent with Hermione's style.

But Dolly still casually asked Hermione: "Hermione, what did you give me?"

However, what Dolly didn't expect was that this ordinary question made Hermione jump as if she had been electrocuted, and even her face turned red.

She said nervously, "Just look at it yourself. Don't ask me. I don't know anything."
