The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Not to mention Dolly, she saved three lives from Quirrell!

If Neville's intelligence can be added 50 points, then shouldn't Dolly's saving three lives also be added 50 points, or even 100 points?

However, Dumbledore seemed to have forgotten this, or in his mind, the points for Dolly's rescue and the points deducted for her appearance at the edge of the Forbidden Forest late at night offset each other.

Ron's attitude was that all this was arranged by Dumbledore.

If Hermione had any complaints, she should go to Dumbledore instead of looking at them.

After all, it wasn't them who begged Dumbledore to let Gryffindor win the house cup, and as the winner, Ron couldn't stand bowing down to the loser.

Of course, Dolly is an exception.

After all, Dolly saved his life, so Ron was willing to bow his head and put on a smile for Dolly.

"Or, you go back first?"

Harry said helplessly, "Otherwise I'll come over when we're almost getting off the bus, and then get off with my sister."

"That's fine."

Ron nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and pulled Harry away, saying, "Would you like to stay with me during the summer vacation? I'll take you to experience life in the wizarding world?"

Harry's heart was immediately moved.

Although Harry now has a good relationship with Dolly and the Dursleys, it does not mean that his summer vacation will be happy.

Dolly would obviously go to accompany her best friends, but Harry didn't have many friends in the Muggle world.

Maybe living in Ron's house, malice is a good choice.

Harry nodded subconsciously, and Ron excitedly hugged Harry's neck and subconsciously amplified his voice, which was also heard by Dolly.

Listening to the sound of Harry approaching and leaving, Dolly didn't care much. After all, everyone has his or her own life!

It was not until the beginning of summer vacation that Dolly realized more clearly how much value there was in the saying that everyone has his or her own life.

Because Dolly soon received a message that Qiu Zhang had left England and returned to his homeland to accompany his sick grandfather.

I might not be able to come back for the entire summer vacation.

When Dolly saw the letter, she felt a little disappointed.

But then she wrote a long string of words to comfort Qiu Zhang. After all, no matter how much Dolly wanted to, she could not let Qiu Zhang give up the last moments of his life with his family.

As for Dolly chasing after him herself, she couldn't do that now, and it wasn't appropriate for her to do that.

I can only look forward to seeing Qiu Zhang again in the new semester or at the end of summer vacation.

As for Hermione, it was just as she said.

The family plans to travel, and this time their destination is to visit several countries, which will last for a full month.

The reason was actually very simple. The Grangers also made some extra money thanks to Vernon's advice.

Vernon couldn't hide the fact that he made money from stock trading, and he had no intention of hiding it from his friends.

Of course, how much you earn is a personal privacy matter, and even good friends shouldn't ask. This is one of the basic etiquettes in the UK.

So Vernon had no idea how much extra money the Grangers had made, but it must have been several hundred thousand dollars.

This is not a life-changing fortune for the Grangers, who are both dentists and have their own clinics.

But it is indeed enough to make them face life more easily.

As for Harry, he even wrote a letter to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's answer was that he must spend at least a month during the summer vacation with his family.

The rest of the time you can go play with Ron.

So Harry started to stay at home for two or three days, and then go to Ron's house for a few days.

When Harry was at home, Dolly could play games with him, but when Harry was not around, Dolly felt very bored being alone.

While at school, Dolly pretends to be a little witch.

But when she got home and no one was around, Dolly couldn't just hug her doll and watch cartoons or cheesy romance TV shows.

This was a bit too boring for Dolly.

What if I could hold a wild Hermione and bite her ears and play with her fingers?

Of course, Dolly has also tried entertainment activities such as shopping, watching movies, and going to amusement parks.

But Vernon and Petunia were still worried about her going out alone, after all, Dolly was not allowed to use magic.

Dolly would soon get bored playing alone, because being alone only makes one feel lonely, not happy.

Dolly also tried to devote all her energy to her work.

For example, finding a suitable investment agent for your family, or researching more ways to make money.

But Dolly soon discovered that with her age and connections, doing this was difficult, or even unnecessary.

After all, Dolly's current investments are mainly in stocks, and she herself is unwilling to make more complex or risky investments.

As for investing in industries and investing in the future, such as the Internet and new energy, it is obviously not the right time yet.

You have to know that the World Wide Web only appeared this year, and even the first burst of the Internet bubble was ten years later. It is really too early to do these things.

As for more practical industries, such as real estate or industrial sectors, Dolly is even more lazy to do them.

What she wants is to be a rich woman who can just lie down and enjoy life, rather than a strong woman who can win over everyone.

If Hermione is interested in this in the future, just let her do it.

So in the end, Dolly adjusted the amount and share of her family's stock investment based on her previous life's experience and memory, and Dolly's work for this year was basically over.

Moreover, since the investments are basically in US stocks, there is no need to transfer cash assets due to the subsequent devaluation of the British currency.

In addition, Dolly did not forget to tell her business partners, such as Qiu Zhang's father, about this matter clearly.

To prevent his business partners from suffering too much loss in the upcoming battle between the gods.

Of course, Dolly wasn't so kind to the fairies.

If they fail, then in a sense it will be a good thing for Dolly.

Because that means Dolly has another chance to get some goblin silver from them.

Finally, just when Dolly thought this kind of life would last for a summer vacation.

Dolly received an unexpected letter.

The sender was actually Ollivander.

Dolly opened the letter in surprise, and soon the questions in her mind were answered.

Although she had no contact with Ollivander for a whole year, the old man had not forgotten Dolly, his special student.

It wasn't because Dolly had used all the wands in his room like many other special little wizards, but because he was impressed by Dolly's affinity with wands.

It was obvious that Ollivander wanted Dolly to have a deeper understanding of her affinity for wands.

So he wrote this.

"Dear Miss Dolly Dursley, would you like to come to my shop during the summer vacation to experience the secrets of wand making?"

"Of course, I won't charge any fees. I just hope you can better demonstrate your talents."

"I can even pay you a salary of one Galleon a day. How about that?"

138 Wand Shop Apprentice

Dolly almost laughed out loud at Ollivander's sincere words.

It was not because the reward offered by Ollivander was too little, but because Dolly seemed to see a little old man scratching his head.

He must have been looking forward to Dolly's visit, which is why he did such a thing at this time.

No matter what, it feels really good to have your talent noticed.

Dolly thought carefully for a moment and decided to give Ollivander a positive answer.

Although studying hard during the summer vacation does not really fit in with Dolly's philosophy of life.

But now she really needs a wand to use.

Hogwarts prohibits students from using magic during the holidays. The Ministry of Magic has implanted something called a tracer into everyone's wand to detect whether students are using magic in violation of the rules.

This kind of thing would automatically disappear as students reach adulthood and graduate, but it is clearly present in Dolly's wand now.

With magic, it becomes very convenient for Dolly to do many things.

Whether it is something above board, or something that needs to be kept secret, or even just to provide a more convenient life.

Even if it's just practicing spells to improve your proficiency, it's always better than the loneliness of having a wand but not being able to cast spells.

The most important thing is that Dolly also wants to try to see how close she can get to the magic wand.

And regarding the wand itself, does a wand have to be a wand?

This question seems contradictory, but Dolly knows its true meaning. She probably can only get a satisfactory answer by meeting Ollivander.

Dolly picked up her pen and wrote a positive reply to Ollivander.

At the same time, they agreed to meet the next day.

Early the next morning, Dolly carried a small bag, said goodbye to her parents and Harry, and got on the Knight Bus alone.

Vernon had planned to send Dolly off, and even let Harry go with Dolly, but Dolly refused.

Dolly's reason was that she was only going to the largest store in Diagon Alley, where there would be no danger, and she promised not to go anywhere else.

However, in reality, Dolly just didn't want her family to know that she had more special talents.

Rather than surprising Vernon and Petunia, this would only scare them.

For them, their daughter's safe and peaceful life is obviously much more important than anything else.

Although Dolly's wand is unusable, it can still be used to summon the Knight Bus.

In addition, Dolly had already achieved Galleon freedom and was enjoying the highest level of treatment on the Knight Bus. Soon she arrived at the Leaky Cauldron.

Opening the backyard wall in the familiar way, Diagon Alley appeared before his eyes.

Today is not the weekend, nor is it the time for young wizards to prepare their school supplies.

So Diagon Alley seems relatively deserted, but that's only relatively speaking.

There were still endless streams of people on the street. After all, this was the largest commercial center in the entire British wizarding world.

Having said that, the wizards' financial conditions seemed even more dire.

Dolly was carrying a shoulder bag alone, and she still attracted some attention on the street.

Although Dolly deliberately wore clothes that wizards often wore, her beautiful and innocent face still attracted many people to turn their heads.

But no one thought much about it, and no one took any unnecessary action.

Just as Dolly said, this is the most prosperous place in the entire wizarding world after all.

As long as Dolly doesn't lose money, basically no one will have any bad intentions towards her.

Instead, it was Dolly who was considering whether to go for a walk first.

For Dolly, the things here no longer have much appeal.

Unless it's that black magic prop shop, or Flourish and Blotts bookstore to see if there are any new books.

The former is still somewhat dangerous. Although there are many props that Dolly may be familiar with, it was ultimately rejected by Dolly.

As for the new books on the shelves in the bookstore, Dolly has not forgotten who their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be next year.

His name was Gilderoy Lockhart.

Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, is a half-blood wizard and a student of Ravenclaw at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Before he took up the Defence Against the Dark Arts professorship at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1992–1993 academic year, Lockhart had already received numerous honorary titles, such as the Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Arts Defence League, and five-time winner of the Witch Weekly Most Charming Smile Award.

Yes, he was Dolly's senior and predecessor, and one of the best graduates of Hogwarts Ravenclaw College.

At this point, the word "excellent" was not even put in quotation marks, and even Professor McGonagall was proud of his achievements.

Of course, after Lockhart became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts and demonstrated his almost complete magical talent.
