The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Although there are drinking water points in the lounge, the water is only cold boiled water, which is completely unable to meet Dolly's needs.

In addition to these two electrical appliances, Dolly actually really wants to install equipment like air conditioners in her dormitory.

However, the air conditioner has to be installed outdoors, and Dolly hasn't figured out how to hide it yet, so she can only give up for the time being.

Looking at the newly renovated dormitory, Dolly and Hermione smiled at each other, and saw the touch and joy in each other's eyes.

Dolly suddenly thought of something and snapped her fingers.

Diandian appeared immediately, looking at everything in the room, and was also so excited that he couldn't speak.

During this process, Diandian helped Dolly and Hermione a lot.

And because the electrical appliances that Dolly has currently added are relatively simple, although the style looks strange, it is not too outrageous, so Diandian quickly accepted everything.

And I regarded all this as a special magic unique to Dolly, and I admired it very much.

"Great Dolly, if you need any help, I will do my best to make it perfect!"

Diandian bowed to the two people, and Dolly smiled and said, "Diandian, please make us a cup of black tea."

"There are cookies on the table that I brought from the other side. Hermione and I are tired of them, so the rest are for you."

"If you can't finish it, you can give it to other house-elves as you wish."

Diandian immediately smiled happily.

House-elves do not refuse their masters' food, and will taste the wizards' delicacies, and will also feel joy in eating delicious food.

This is probably one of the few ways that can be considered a reward for a house-elf.

However, even so, the food given to house-elves cannot be complete dishes, otherwise the house-elves will think that the wizard does not like their cooking skills.

Or some whole food purchased from outside, because that would make the house-elves feel that they are wasting their master's property.

Only half-eaten snacks like this are the best choice to reward house-elves.

Dot immediately got busy, while Dolly pulled Hermione to sit down at the small round table, humming happily.

Hermione's eyes were always on Diandian. She was obviously not happy with the fact that Diandian was only wearing a tea napkin, but now Hermione was not as excited as when she first saw Diandian.

Because Dolly and Diandian showed a very harmonious master-servant relationship. Apart from Diandian's shabby clothes and constant self-deprecation, Hermione could see that Diandian was very happy.

When Dolly attributed Dot's behavior to the character problems of the house-elf, Hermione temporarily accepted it.

But Dolly knew very well that Hermione was just blinded by the illusion.

After she sees the true misery of the house-elves, she will most likely support the liberation of the house-elves.

By then, it wouldn't be too late for Dolly to stand on Hermione's side and cheer for her.

But for now, let’s enjoy the delicious Fortnum & Mason black tea.

The teacups clinked gently, Dolly and Hermione smiled at each other, and then took a sip of tea.

As the tea goes into your mouth, the deep and rich tea aroma immediately spreads, as if it can wash away the dust in your soul and bring a moment of tranquility and satisfaction.

It seems that with every sip you can feel the story of tea leaves maturing in the sun, and the strands of sweetness slowly unfolding on the tip of your tongue, warm and lingering.

In such a warm and sweet atmosphere, the two girls who were originally sitting next to each other couldn't help but look at each other and saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Dolly and Hermione stopped involuntarily, their eyes meeting, as if they wanted to express some emotion.

But what emotions?

Hermione didn't understand.

There is just a warm wave in my heart that wants to escape, but I can't find an outlet, let alone a way to express it.

In the end, he felt his heart beating faster and his face turned red. Under Dolly's green gaze, he wanted to escape. Finally, he lowered his head and took another sip of tea, leaving a shallow watermark on the edge of the cup.

"Tea, it's delicious."

Hermione left a comment, but Dolly didn't stop there. Instead, she smiled and said, "She's very cute too."

Hermione panicked for a moment and even turned around subconsciously, not knowing how to answer Dolly.

During this time, Hermione and Dolly spent much less time together.

So much so that Hermione herself didn't realize that while she was gradually getting used to this atmosphere, deep down she was longing to return to the days when she and Dolly were inseparable.

It’s just that this desire has always been suppressed by the pressure of review, but now it seems to be stimulated by the mellow black tea.

Hermione couldn't help but look at the black tea again. What kind of black tea is this? Is it real? Could there be some strange ingredients in it?

Dolly saw Hermione's suspicious look and couldn't help laughing.

She really wanted to turn this cup of black tea into black tea with added ingredients, but she didn't have the courage to do so.

It was simply because the atmosphere was right that Dolly couldn't help but want to get close to Hermione again after a long time.

But seeing how shy Hermione was, there was probably no hope today.

So Dolly finished her tea, stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to join me?"

"There's a fan heater installed inside now. Do you want to try it?"

Hogwarts provides both hot and cold water for students, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold while taking a bath.

But walking one meter from the shower room to the changing area will make people feel like they have fallen directly into an ice hole.

Of course, the little wizards will use magic and other means to slow down this process, but it is still not comfortable enough.

That's why Dolly wants to install air conditioning.

But now, the air conditioner cannot be installed, but a heater can be arranged.

This type of appliance is essentially a combination of an electric heater and a fan, and has no disadvantages other than wasting electricity.

Hermione quickly shook her head and said, "You go by yourself. I'll go later. I want to drink another cup of tea."

Dolly shrugged, knowing she would be rejected and not surprised.

If Hermione really agreed, Dolly would be frightened instead.

Soon, Dolly disappeared into the bathroom.

Hermione looked in the direction Dolly left with some disappointment. If Dolly invited her again, maybe she would agree?

Well, Hermione had to admit that for a moment just now, she did want to agree.

But even Hermione herself didn't know whether she would really agree to Dolly.

She could only continue drinking her tea and waiting for Dolly to reappear.

Hermione's nervous heart slowly calmed down as she glanced at the now warm and comfortable dormitory, a comfortable smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

If this is not a dormitory but a home, then are they good friends who have moved into a new house?

118 Confrontation with Snape

After the dormitory renovation was completed, Qiu Zhang came more often.

Even the two of them welcomed other visitors to their room, because many little witches were very curious about things in the Muggle world.

At the same time, the modern life brought by electricity does bring a lot of convenience to people.

But soon, these visits gradually disappeared and peace returned.

This was not because Hermione was inhospitable. The main reason was that the girls who came to the double dormitory gradually realized that they had no way to repay Dolly and Hermione.

Not to mention inviting two people to their dormitory to play, they couldn't even provide some decent snacks.

Dolly and Hermione might not mind, but there is really no one who can pretend that he does not owe them anything and keep coming to eat and drink for free.

If there really were such a person, Hermione would probably become really inhospitable.

As for Qiu Zhang, that is another matter entirely.

After revealing his wealth to Dolly and realizing that Dolly had no objection to it, he also did a big business with her father.

Qiu Zhang became very extravagant in front of the two of them. The tea that Dolly and Hermione drank was brought by Qiu Zhang.

This naturally softened Hermione's attitude towards Qiu Zhang, and she had almost no conflicts with Qiu Zhang in the past few months.

At most, they had different opinions on an issue and then argued loudly for a few sentences.

By now, as the final exams were getting closer, Hermione didn't even have time to accompany Dolly, so naturally she would not cause trouble for Qiu Zhang.

Qiu Zhang was actually very busy because the Quidditch match had to have an extra round, which was rare.

The advantage brought by her Nimbus 2001 has become much smaller, and she must find more ways to win.

Dolly then had more time and energy to do her own things, such as going to Snape to learn how to brew potions.

That night, Snape opened the door of his office and looked at Dolly at the door with some surprise.

"How did you come?"

He looked a little embarrassed, because his office smelled like a mixture of medicine and potions, even a faint fishy smell.

This was proof that Lou Williams' bite continued to torment him.

"Professor, I have some questions for you."

Dolly spoke calmly. Snape was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Come in and sit down."

He stepped back to make way, trying his best to appear normal, but when his bitten leg was under pressure, his body couldn't help but shake.

"There's a chair at the door, sit down."

"I'm still brewing the potion. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Snape returned to the cauldron and continued stirring it, acting as if nothing had happened and pretending not to notice Dolly's gaze on his legs.

Dolly, on the other hand, was thinking about whether she should deepen the information exchange with Snape.

After all, for Dolly, Snape is now the most trustworthy professor at Hogwarts.

This is not to say that his character is excellent or that he is the strongest.

It was because among those who knew the information about Voldemort, Snape was easier to understand than Dumbledore's elusive greater interests.

He wanted to avenge Lily, so he had to obey Dumbledore's orders.

As long as Dolly and Snape agree on this point, Snape can provide greater help to Dolly.

But in the end, Dolly gave up the idea.

Although Snape would not be legilimency by Dumbledore, he still could not resist Dumbledore's control. This is the difference in life realm.

Before ensuring that she would not be further involved in Dumbledore's plan, Dolly chose to trust herself first.

If she puts her hopes on others, the next time a troll attack occurs, Dolly will have to taste despair alone.

However, although she could not provide information directly, Dolly could talk to Snape about the matter of Quirrell.

"Professor, is there still no result regarding the attack on me?"

Snape's hand paused slightly, obviously not expecting Dolly to be so simple and direct.

He was a little annoyed because he didn't want to talk about this topic.

Dumbledore would not allow him to say that Snape himself could not reveal the facts about Voldemort, and he could not identify Quirrell now.

In the end, he could only use the explanation that most dissatisfied him: "Maybe you were really scared that day and couldn't distinguish between the Confusion Curse and the Imperius Curse."

"Someone's prank turned into a tragedy due to coincidence. Please get over what happened that day as soon as possible, Miss Dursley."

"I can guarantee that a troll attack like this won't happen again."

When Snape said the last sentence, he was obviously more confident.

He has been keeping an eye on Quirrell for the past six months, and Quirrell's lack of action must be related to this.

However, Dolly was not satisfied with Snape's answer.

It's not that she's still brooding over what happened half a year ago, it's that she no longer cares about the specific truth of the matter.

Rather, it was to remind Snape that things were actually getting worse.

"I believe that you, Professor, have your own unshakable bottom line when it comes to the safety of students."

"But even the principal can't grasp all the situations in the school, right?"
