The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Snape gave Dumbledore one last deep look, then said nothing more.

He had originally intended to check on Dolly's condition, but now he felt it was more important to visit Quirrell.

As for the strange things about Dolly, Snape was also curious, but he believed that they had nothing to do with the unnamed Voldemort.

It's just that Dolly has awakened some indescribable magical talent, which isn't anything unusual in the magical world.

Even if Dolly is outrageous, can she be as outrageous as the invincible Andros?

His Guardian Charm can summon a giant as a guardian deity, and such a guardian deity can smash an entire giant to pieces with a single punch.

In comparison, Lily is just a bit strong.

After their less-than-pleasant conversation, Snape and Dumbledore parted ways.

In contrast, Dolly's reunion with Hermione and Cho Chang was much more amicable.

The moment Hermione saw that Dolly had woken up, her eyes turned red, and she rushed over with enthusiasm and excitement, intending to give Dolly a hug.

Cho Chang grabbed Hermione's wrist and said, "Wait a minute, Hermione, we haven't determined Dolly's condition yet."

Seeing Cho Chang's actions, Dolly had to admit that she felt a little nervous.

She vaguely remembered what happened yesterday; it seemed that Hermione and Cho Chang had treated her together, but did that mean the two of them had made up?

Dolly wasn't sure about this, and was genuinely worried that the two of them would start arguing again.

However, it turned out that Dolly was overthinking it.

Hermione nodded seriously, then looked at Madam Pomfrey behind her, waiting for her explanation.

Madam Pomfrey smiled, but earnestly cautioned Hermione and Cho Chang: "Miss Chang is right, Miss Granger, you were indeed too impulsive."

"Although Miss Dursley is out of danger, her left arm bone has not yet been treated. You must be very careful when you talk to her so as not to touch her left arm."

"She has never cried out in pain. She is a very strong child. I hope you will not break her record of strength."

Hermione looked at Dolly's limp arms and couldn't hold back any longer; tears streamed down her face.

Cho Chang also let go of Hermione, allowing Hermione to be the first to come to Dory's side.

Hermione crouched down to Dolly's right, leaning against the windowsill. Just as she was about to say something, Dolly smiled and extended her hand.

The meaning of this action is self-evident.

Seeing that Dolly was still hesitant, Dolly said lazily, "Hermione, if you don't hug me, I'm not getting out of bed today."

Hermione couldn't help but laugh, but then realized it was inappropriate. She glared at Dolly with her bright red eyes, but after that glance, she was drawn back to Dolly and laughed through her tears.

She carefully sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and hugged Dolly, buried her head in Dolly's neck, and gently breathed in Dolly's familiar scent.

It's a pity that Dolly's hair has already been sacrificed, and she now has short hair; otherwise, Hermione would definitely be able to smell the same fragrance of her hair.

"Dolly, you're alive, that's wonderful."

Hermione whispered in Dolly's ear, and Dolly nuzzled Hermione's cheek affectionately, saying, "I haven't even seen you yet. Even if Death comes and tries to take my life, I will fight with all my might to live."

Hermione quickly pulled back, reached out and covered Dolly's mouth with her palm, looking at Dolly reproachfully, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't mention yesterday again."

"Qiu Zhang and I have agreed not to ask anything until you recover."

"You'd better get well soon, or I'll give you a good beating when we get back to the dorm!"

Dolly crossed her arms over her shoulders, making an exaggerated gesture, and said, "I'm so scared!"

"Hermione who's always crying is the scariest..."

Dolly teased Hermione, which naturally earned her a glare from Hermione, so Dolly switched to a gentler voice.

"Okay, it's cute, alright?"

"Don't worry, when I get back to the dorm I'll lie on my bed in a cross shape, and you can do whatever you want with me!"

After saying that, Dolly reached out and wiped away the tears from Hermione's eyes. Hermione did not refuse, but just kept gazing at Dolly's pale yet beautiful face, happily enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

When Dolly's mischievous hand reached out to pinch her nose, Hermione laughed and backed away from the bedside, saying, "Why are you still so restless? Are you getting more excited the more you get hurt?"

"I saw you two made up... So, you two really made up?"

Dolly blinked and changed the subject to what she wanted to know.

A hint of sadness flashed in Hermione's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, instead crossing her arms as if she had returned to her usual domineering demeanor.

"Then we'll have to see how sincere someone is."

After saying that, Hermione even pointed her chin at Cho Chang.

Cho Chang then came over and sat in Hermione's spot, gently stroking Dolly's forehead with his fingertips and tidying up her messy hair.

Then she said, "This is all my responsibility."

She picked up the two pendants from the bedside table and said, "I didn't tell you that the pendant I gave you was actually one of a pair."

"The other one, in my case, besides having basic functions, can also sense your physical condition."

"I can't be by your side every day like Hermione can, so I wanted to care for you in this way, but Hermione found out, and then..."

Hermione frowned, patted Cho Chang on the shoulder, and said, "Didn't we agree not to mention yesterday again?"

Cho Chang nodded and gave Hermione a grateful look. She knew that Hermione had said those words not only to prevent Dolly from reliving yesterday's pain, but also to stop Cho Chang from blaming herself.

Cho Chang and Hermione have already learned from Spot that Dolly spent the day searching for information, trying to find out why the two of them had argued.

In their view, it was precisely because Dolly wandered around alone that the mastermind behind the scenes had an opportunity to take advantage of her.

If they hadn't argued, or if they hadn't caused Dolly any trouble, Hermione could at least have stayed by Dolly's side, and then the two of them could have faced the trolls together.

With Hermione's help, Dolly's condition will definitely improve a lot, right?

"Dolly, I've made a decision."

Cho Chang turned around, grabbed Hermione's wrist, and, to Hermione's surprise, gave her his pendant.

"Hermione, you are more suitable for it and need it more than I am. If you can check Dolly's physical condition at any time, you can take better care of her."

"And I'm happy to just be your friend."

At this point, Qiu Zhang, who had always appeared strong and emotionally stable, finally couldn't hold back anymore and covered her mouth to cry.

Even more tears than Hermione shed, leaving Hermione momentarily stunned, as if she had never imagined Cho Chang could cry.

After all, in her memory, Cho Chang had always been very domineering towards her. Hermione thought Cho Chang was a complete strong woman, otherwise why would she have become the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?

However, Dolly knew very well that after losing her boyfriend in the original story, Qiu Zhang became a girl who cried every day, and her grades and overall performance plummeted.

This shows that even if Qiu Zhang appears kind, independent, friendly, cheerful, or even rebellious, he is still a gentle person at heart; he just doesn't easily show his vulnerable and melancholic side.

The reason she became good friends with Cho Chang was because Cho Chang was shocked by Dolly's punch and then regarded Dolly as a confidante, and took the initiative to show her vulnerable and melancholy side.

This is the first time Cho Chang has shown this side of himself to Hermione, which almost means that Cho Chang has taken the initiative to open his heart to Hermione.

Hermione was at a loss, unsure how to comfort the person, so she could only look to Dolly and ask her to step in.

Dolly did not disappoint Hermione. She gently wiped away Cho Chang's tears, placed her palm on Cho Chang's face, and said, "It wasn't you who led me into this trap. You can only blame the person who attacked me."

“If it wants to hurt me, it will always find an opportunity. Just because this happened yesterday doesn’t mean it’s related to you.”

"Besides, Qiu Zhang, you saved my life."

"Without your pendant, I probably wouldn't have made it."

Hermione opened her mouth nervously, as if trying to stop the two from talking about yesterday.

Dolly shook her head slightly, then took back another pendant from the bedside table and said, "If you insist on giving your pendant to Hermione, then I'll have to return this one to you."

“I can’t let you bear responsibilities that don’t belong to you, otherwise I’ll feel guilty forever.”

"Sigh, he might fall seriously ill because of this, and even die..."

Cho Chang quickly reached out and covered Dolly's mouth, looking both annoyed and helpless. Dolly, on the other hand, squinted her eyes triumphantly and winked at Hermione.

Hermione immediately understood and said, "This pendant is still yours. I'm with Dolly every day anyway, so I can keep an eye on her health."

"And you can also care about Dolly through this pendant, which is equivalent to adding an extra layer of protection for Dolly's safety."

“We absolutely cannot let Dolly be left out like we did yesterday.”

Cho Chang nodded, took back her pendant, and said gratefully to Hermione, "Thank you, Hermione."

Hermione held out her hand and said, "I admit now that you really want to be Dolly's good friend and that you genuinely care about her. But you're not allowed to do these...sneaky things behind my back from now on."

Qiu Zhang stopped crying and smiled, nodding.

She reached out her hand, and the two of them clasped hands tightly.

This is tantamount to announcing that their past conflicts are wiped clean.

They all acknowledged that they were Dolly's good friends and agreed on caring for and protecting her.

As for the rest... Hermione just said that Cho Chang and Dolly are not allowed to do things secretly without her knowledge.

This means that from now on, Cho Chang, like Hermione, can openly do things to Dory.

Cho Chang released Hermione's hand, turned to face Dolly, holding Dolly's pendant in his hand, and said with a tender look in his eyes, "Dolly, shall I put it back on for you?"

Dolly smiled and nodded, and Cho Chang openly supported Dolly's back, helping her put on the pendant, and then gently placed his hand and the pendant on Dolly's chest.

Hermione, standing behind her, stared intently at Cho Chang's hand, feeling as if he was provoking her again.

Little did she know that when Cho Chang's gaze inadvertently fell on Dolly's lips, which still smelled of chocolate milk, she was suddenly reminded of the scene of Hermione feeding Dolly her medicine yesterday.

Perhaps next time she has the chance, she can be more proactive...
