The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Only then did Qiu Zhang laugh and nodded happily.

After the two of them finished breakfast, it was almost ten o'clock.

Qiu Zhang asked the driver Hans to take Dolly home, and she did not go along this time, even though Dolly invited her.

Dolly didn't mind this, as Qiu Zhang must have his own things to do.

Even the closest lovers need their own space, not to mention that they are just friends now.

"Miss Dursley."

The driver, who had been silent all the time, actually spoke up this time.

Dolly was a little surprised, but she still replied politely: "Mr. Hans, what's the matter?"

"Miss Qiu Zhang told me that if you need any help in the future, you can come to me."

Dolly didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but then Hans explained, "Actually, I'm a Squib."

Dolly was stunned, while Hans smiled calmly and said, "It was Miss Qiu Zhang's mother, Mrs. Cummings, who found this job for me. We grew up neighbors."

"Although I don't know magic, my husband does. It shouldn't be a problem to ask him to go to the magical world to help you with some things."

"Miss Qiu Zhang knows that you seem to have asked an unknown wizard to help you buy potions and herbs. She is worried that this is not safe, which is why we are having this conversation."

Dolly understood, looked at Hans gratefully, and said, "Thank you in advance, Mr. Hans. If I ask you for help in the future, I will include a reward."

"That's not necessary, Miss Dursley. I've watched Miss Cho Chang grow up, and I almost think of her as half a daughter."

"So the fact that you can become good friends with Qiu Zhang is enough to make me happy."

After that, Hans said nothing more.

Dolly also closed her eyes to rest, but slowly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Wait, did Hans just say…his husband?

Dolly resisted the urge to look at Hans again, but she could hardly contain the shock in her heart.

There is almost no possibility of mishearing the words husband and wife in English, so... well, it really is Britain.

However, Dolly also understood why Qiu Zhang had used magic in front of Hans before.

It turns out that everyone is from the magical world.

I just don't know what kind of person Mrs. Cummings, Qiu Zhang's mother, is that he mentioned. Will she be easier to get along with?

I guess... you won't have too much of a problem with her, right?

By the time Dolly returned to the Dursleys', it was already noon.

As Dolly walked in, Harry came holding a round wooden box and said, "This was sent by the goblins this morning. I haven't opened it yet, but it should be what you want."

Dolly quickly took it and opened the box. Something that looked like a round plate appeared inside, which immediately attracted Dolly's attention.

Because Dolly's ability took effect again, she could clearly see [Fairy Hand Shield: Anti-Magic Level 1, Magic Enhancement Level 1, Indestructible Level 1.]

[The current number of enhancements is 0. The enhancement effect is related to the magic enhancement ability level. ]

Dolly held it and for a moment almost forgot to breathe.

It's not because of how powerful its own attributes are, but because it is another item that belongs to Dolly and has attributes.

As for magic resistance, it is an attribute that Dolly is very much looking forward to.

With it, Dolly no longer needs to dodge some spells.

If Dolly could skillfully use this silver shield, she could even smash the noses of most wizards with it.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to face an opponent like Voldemort with only the current attributes.

Even if Dolly is strengthened a few more times, it may just be a consumable in the top-level battles.

But Voldemort hasn't been resurrected yet, and Dolly's opponent is still Quirrell.

As for the way of wearing this hand shield, it is actually very simple and ancient.

There are two rings inside, you can tie a belt and then tie it around your wrist with the belt, or just hold the belt with your hands.

Its area is too small to be used to block large-scale attacks.

Therefore, it is an offensive device that only allows the user to temporarily block the opponent's attack and then immediately counterattack the opponent.

And this just fits Dolly's current temperament.

Dolly loved it, and Harry was happy for Dolly, but his eyes revealed uneasiness.

Because at first, Harry didn't understand why Dolly put the reason of wanting goblin silver on him.

But then Harry understood.

Dolly never accused him, nor did she even have an in-depth discussion with him about the truth behind the attack.

But now it seems that it is most likely related to Voldemort.

The reason they attacked Dolly might simply be because she was his sister.

Thinking of this, Harry hardly slept well in the past two days.

He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

He was a man who was supposed to protect his sister, so not only did he fail to do so, but he also brought disaster upon her?

This is not a reality he can accept.

However, no matter how hard Harry thought, he couldn't come up with a good way to alleviate the current situation. He could only wait until he returned to school and discuss this matter with his friends.

Dolly was amazed for a moment and wanted to try whether she could perform transformation on the silver shield.

If possible, then a silver shield would have a greater effect on Dolly.

But Dolly couldn't do that yet; the trace in the wand was still a problem.

Although the consequences for students using magic outside of school are not as serious as expulsion.

But Dolly was inevitably called to the relevant department and reprimanded, because Dolly's parents were Muggles, and she had to bear this responsibility alone.

So let’s wait until we get back to school.

Thinking of this, Dolly suddenly realized that perhaps she could really find another wand that suits her as soon as possible, or the kind that has no trace.

Cho Chang can do fun things with his mother's old wand outside of school, so why can't Dolly?

She is the most popular person among magic wands, and all the magic wands are vying to marry her.

However, finding an old wand is also a hassle. After all, for wizards, the wand is as important as their second life.

And using an old wand would also leave traces, and might even be linked to the previous owner... So is there a better way?

Dolly suddenly thought of a subject that could be considered unpopular, that is, wandology.

Research all wand materials and craftsmanship, and even teach you how to craft a wand.

For most wizards, there is definitely no need to make a wand by hand, but for Dolly, this necessity seems to have increased a lot.

The most important thing is that she can strengthen her own wand starting from the material of the wand!

Thinking of this, Dolly even began to feel like going to find Ollivander immediately.

The wand she already had was already quite effective, so how much more powerful would a wand she could meticulously craft herself be?

But then Dolly calmed down.

She doesn't have the time or energy right now, so she'd better just concentrate on accumulating some attributes first.

Otherwise, she couldn't even make good use of her own fairy silver shield, so wouldn't it be a bit too ambitious to consider the magic wand?

After lunch, Dolly rested for a while and then went into Vernon's study.

She also had an important task, which was to determine the Dursleys' investment strategy for the coming year.

Of course, this matter does not necessarily have to be concluded today, but at least Dolly can write down what she knows first.

There is no doubt that 1992 was a turbulent year for the whole world.

The biggest cause of turmoil was undoubtedly the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia's implementation of shock therapy.

Judging from the bookkeeping data, Russia's economic situation and foreign trade have plummeted, and the entire country has fallen into a serious recession.

Russia has also introduced a policy to divide its inherent assets into certified shares, priced at 10,000 rubles and distributed to all citizens.

By the time the certified shares reached the hands of ordinary Russians, the ruble had depreciated many times, and the shares that could have been used to buy cars could only be used to buy shoes.

The oligarchs and capitalists who had been prepared for this used their reserved cash to frantically buy these assets, and divided them up in just one year.

This is why Dolly is certain that the fairies' 100 million pounds in cash is not only not a burden, but will even be a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.

A group of people who already have information channels or the ability to interfere with Russia's domestic policy-making can easily convert the 100 million pounds into assets worth 1 billion or even 10 billion.

However, this was meaningless to the goblins who were secretly accessing cash from Gringotts Bank and urgently needed to fill the deficit within a month. This also laid the foundation for Dolly's brokerage transaction.

As for why Dolly reminded Mr. Zhang not to fall into this seemingly beautiful dream.

This is because there are too many local tyrants. Just like the most effective hacking method is to unplug the network cable, it is impossible for foreigners to gain a foothold in Russia by relying solely on financial operations.

What's more, the mastermind behind this incident is, in a sense, the entire Western world.

If you follow them and try to pick sesame seeds, no one will pay attention to you; but if you wave 100 million pounds and want to eat meat at the table, someone will naturally break the rules and kick you off the chair.

Dolly couldn't afford such consequences, so making a quick buck and stopping was the best choice for her.

Apart from Russia, the most familiar opportunity for Dolly is actually the country of her previous life.

After all, 1992 was a special year, and the special nature of this year was also reflected in the soaring stock price.

Before May, as long as you could buy stocks on the market, you would definitely make money.

But this still has nothing to do with Dolly, because Vernon is the operator on Dolly's side.

It is still manageable to ask him to buy American and European stocks, but it is really difficult to ask him to buy stocks of a major Far Eastern country.

Besides, there was no need to spend so much money on the Dursleys' funds.

In the end, Dolly turned her attention to US and European stocks.

This year, there is a stock that is even crazier than last year, and that is Royal Gold from the United States.

Its return rate in this year is 9887.97%, not even 10000%, which is not too high (

The total assets that the Dursleys can invest now is 40 pounds.

But Dolly doesn't plan to go all in on Royal Gold this time. If it really increases a hundred times, it will be no small amount at that time.

At least it is qualified to influence the trend.

So Dolly decided to invest half of it in Royal Gold, and at the same time spread the rest among other stocks with yields several to ten times.

In this way, even if there are some changes in the trend, Dolly will most likely still be able to make money.

Of course, Dolly did not forget the most important thing.

That is, in 1992, Soros would lead international capital to short the British pound, and they succeeded. The British pound would depreciate significantly in the second half of that year.

Therefore, Dolly decided that before Dolly started school in the second half of the year, as much of the family's assets as possible must be converted into US dollars.

Wait until the pound depreciates by 25% against the dollar and then exchange it back, so you can make a lot of money.

It is naturally impossible for Dolly to follow international capital in shorting her own country, but she still has the responsibility to make a fortune.

After writing down these important matters, Dolly handed the matter over to Vernon.

Vernon, to Dolly's surprise, hesitated and said, "Dolly, shouldn't we find a professional to handle this?"

“Besides, do we really need to make so much money?”

Vernon's hesitation didn't surprise Dolly.

She helped the family earn hundreds of thousands of pounds, which was a windfall for Vernon, but still within his control.

But seeing that Dolly had her eyes on this hot stock that could increase a hundredfold, Vernon knew that their family was likely to become multi-millionaires this year.

This was not wealth that Vernon could control, and it also made Vernon, who was accustomed to working-class middle-class life, fear the uncertainty of the future.

He knew very well that once his family had money, they would be targeted by many people.

Will the Dursleys be able to maintain a normal life by then?
