The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

But he was thick-skinned enough and gave everyone enough points, so the people present would definitely not make fun of him about this matter again.

At least not in person.

As for whether Lockhart will make a fool of himself again, that is not something that anyone should care about.

After class, Dolly and Hermione walked side by side. They had no classes next, so they could relax a little.

Seeing Hermione looking unhappy, Dolly coughed lightly and said, "Hermione, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Professor Lockhart may not have gotten enough rest, or there may be something wrong with his wand, or he may just be in a bad state."

"In short, we should give him a chance to show us more powerful magic, such as the Iron Armor Spell..."

Dolly wanted to mention some other magic tricks, but Hermione had already reached out and twisted the flesh on the back of Dolly's hand hard.

Dolly screamed instantly. This level of sneak attack was like drilling into her heart and bones.

However, Hermione let go immediately, but she still slapped Dolly twice with her pink fist before glaring at her in a fierce manner and saying, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

"You know?" Dolly asked knowingly, blowing on her hands, looking clueless. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Hermione glared at Dolly fiercely. Although Dolly was in pain, she couldn't help but smile.

Hermione watched and also burst out laughing.

He took Dolly's hand, bent down and blew on her a few times, and said, "It won't hurt now, right? Or do you want me to cast a healing spell on you?"

Dolly took Hermione's hand and said, "As long as you are happy, it will be the best healing spell for me."

Hermione bit her lower lip and looked at Dolly's smiling face, and suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot.

It’s a pity that Dolly is a girl. If that were the case... Oh, forget it.

Hermione now felt nauseous whenever she thought of the name Lockhart. As expected, a man like him could only be an unreliable fool.

"You haven't answered my question yet. How can you tell he's not a powerful wizard?"

Hermione gently shook Dolly's hand, and the two of them swayed back and forth hand in hand, walking happily forward in the castle corridors that were filtered through the spring afternoon sunlight.

"It's just an intuition, isn't it? I've been learning wand making with Mr. Ollivander all summer long."

Dolly decided to bring up Mr. Ollivander and continued, "The basis of making a wand is to sense magic, but of course you can make one without this ability."

"But the wand made that way would probably be so inferior that goblins wouldn't even want to use it."

Dolly considered her words and said, "Then I discovered that Lockhart's magic was too weak. Then I read his books and found that many of the logics in them were in serious conflict."

"For example, the time and place, or perhaps his own changes in strength and coping strategies, etc. In short, Lockhart's biography is definitely not entirely his own experience."

Hermione sighed, put one hand to her forehead, and said, "I now suspect that his book is all made up, but why is it so real?"

“Some of these details…”

"Maybe it's buying out someone else's experiences and writing a biography. Isn't that common in our area?"

Hermione nodded, accepting the answer.

Then she said angrily, "So what are we going to do? We're still doing nothing in Defense Against the Dark Arts this year?"

"I bet Lockhart won't even dare bring a pixie over next class. Will he bring some Flobberworms?"

The flobberworm, the lowest of the magical creatures, is a 10-inch-long, toothless brown worm.

Although a bite from it would be excruciatingly painful, this thing's fighting power is not much stronger than that of a mouse.

"I'm worried that Lockhart won't be able to find so many caterpillars. And maybe Lockhart will become more and more courageous after being frustrated?"

Dolly said this casually, as if she was joking.

But she knew very well that if Lockhart bowed his head like this, he would no longer be Lockhart.

This person is also a talent from the perspective of perseverance and shamelessness.

Hermione expressed her disbelief and decided to make fun of Lockhart in the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

As the two chatted, they came to the grass and stood under a big tree that they were most familiar with.

Because the school had just started, even Hermione, the most studious girl, had the leisure to accompany Dolly.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Dolly felt as if she was in another world.

After all, it was here a year ago that she and Hermione rode a broomstick into the sky and performed a perfect violation in the sky.

But even if Dolly were given the choice again, she would do it without hesitation.

after all……

Thinking of this, Dolly looked back at Hermione, who was looking at her.

Obviously, the two girls thought of the same thing.

"Let's go fly around the sky a couple more times when we have time?"

Dolly extended the invitation, and Hermione smiled happily and said, "Sure."

"I just don't know when I'll be free."

When Hermione said free, she certainly didn't mean she and Dolly were free.

But in the direction the two people were looking, the Quidditch teams had already started training, and they had to wait until they were resting before doing this kind of thing.

I can only say that people who like this competition are really crazy about it.

Dolly was no longer very interested in Quidditch, after all, Qiu Zhang had already won the Quidditch House Cup.

Unless Dolly gives Qiu Zhang some cheats, she won't be able to win for several years in a row. This year, each college will definitely improve its equipment level.

Moreover, Qiu Zhang would never allow Dolly to disrupt the balance of the game, as that would be a blasphemy to her favorite Quidditch.

Thinking of this, Dolly couldn't help but wonder if Malfoy would join the Quidditch game - by sponsoring the team's new broom.

It turns out that the Malfoy family has enough wealth to squander.

Just a few days later, Malfoy was showing off his new broom, the Nimbus 2001, to the entire Slytherin house team.

Apparently, the broom that made Qiu Zhang the champion last year is now officially on the market.

Although Qiu Zhang's sword may have better performance as a limited edition, it is obviously not enough for Qiu Zhang to have such an advantage again.

On the contrary, the entire Ravenclaw team does not have a strong enough broom, and will most likely continue to compete with Hufflepuff for third place.

Of course, Malfoy didn't dare show off in front of Dolly.

In other words, Malfoy had been deliberately avoiding Dolly for a long time, and it was obvious that both his father and Snape had given him enough education.

Dolly was happy about this, but Qiu Zhang found Dolly for this.

"So you want to sponsor the Ravenclaw team?"

Dolly looked at Qiu Zhang curiously, and Qiu Zhang's face was rarely full of seriousness.

Although this is not a huge sum of money for Dolly and her, how to sponsor it is a question that needs to be considered.

Lucius is the governor of Hogwarts. It is only natural for the governor to sponsor school supplies. As for why these brooms are only given to Slytherins, there is no need to find a deliberate reason for such a thing.

As long as Snape accepted these brooms, he would never give them out to other houses.

Snape must have been angry for a long time because of the defeat in the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup last year.

"Then what do you think?"

Hermione asked on the side. Qiu Zhang thought for a few seconds and said, "Perhaps I can ask my father to make a donation in his name. We don't have to limit the donation to Ravenclaw House."

"After all, Hufflepuff House also needs to change its brooms, and Gryffindor and Slytherin Houses have already done so."

"We also buy Nimbus 2001, so they have no reason to fight over these supplies."

This is a very stupid method, but it is indeed an impeccable method.

The only problem is that the Hufflepuff members have also been strengthened.

However, Qiu Zhang obviously didn't care about this. At least when facing Hufflepuff, Qiu Zhang had absolute confidence.

Dolly nodded and said, "You can discuss this matter with the Hufflepuff team first and make them owe us a favor."

Qiu Zhang was stunned and looked at Duoli in confusion.

Dolly wouldn't want to be behind the scenes, would she?

Dolly smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely not affect your competition."

"But with the support of Hufflepuff House, no matter what we do in the future, it will be easy, right?"

Qiu Zhang nodded. Although she didn't understand Dolly's thoughts, she chose to believe Dolly.

After she left, Hermione asked curiously, "What are your plans?"

"I'm looking for something. It should be at school now, but I don't know where it is."

"what?"

"A diary."

Hermione still didn't understand, so Dolly simply described the diary to her.

In her description, the diary is a dangerous dark magic item that could cause someone's death.

Someone warned Dolly that the diary would be sent to Hogwarts, causing chaos and ultimately forcing Dumbledore to leave.

As for the contents of the diary related to Voldemort, Dolly hid them for the time being.

It’s not that I don’t trust Hermione and Qiu Zhang, but Dolly shouldn’t know about this matter in theory, and it’s too sensitive.

As for questions about the diary, if they are really asked in the future, the worst that can happen is that I can just blame Dobby.

Even though this traitorous house-elf of the Malfoy family only causes trouble for Harry now, Dolly still wants to bring it back to Hogwarts.

Just because she sacrificed her life to save Harry in the original book, such a new force Dolly cannot be ignored.

"So is there anything I need to do?"

Hermione asked curiously, but Dolly smiled and asked back, "Aren't you going to study and read?"

"I……"

Hermione hesitated to speak, not because Dolly was wrong, but because what Dolly said was absolutely right.

But seeing Dolly planning and busying herself alone, Hermione felt a faint anxiety in her heart and wanted to help Dolly so that Dolly could spend more time with her.

After all, the way Qiu Zhang looked at Dolly, the emotion in his eyes that could not be dissolved, was even more obvious to Hermione.

Dolly didn't feel anything because her attention was now focused on finding Voldemort's diary.

According to Dolly's memory, the secret room will be opened at the end of October.

The current time is definitely not accurate. Whether it is advanced or delayed, Dolly must find the diary before this time as much as possible.

Otherwise, once the Chamber of Secrets is opened, the basilisk will crawl freely in the underground network of Hogwarts, and it will be much more difficult to catch it then.

156 Make friends with Ginny

In the end, Hermione did not spend all her time with Dolly. Of course, the main reason was that Dolly repeatedly refused.

Because even if Hermione joined in on the task of finding the diary, there wouldn't be any significant improvement in efficiency, and having her join wouldn't make much sense.

It would be better to let Hermione continue to do what she likes to do, which is to study.

Of course, Dolly also didn't intend to trouble Qiu Zhang.

At most, she would have to wait until the brooms donated by her and Qiu Zhang arrived, and then ask the Hufflepuff students to keep an eye out for anyone behaving strangely.

The main person to find the diary is Dolly herself.

Because Dolly knew the entrance to the secret room, which was in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle where Myrtle was active.

So Dolly went straight to Myrtle and asked her to help keep an eye out for any little wizard sneaking here.

In return, she had hoped to spend an hour or two a week chatting with Myrtle.

But Myrtle blushed and said she wanted to chat with Harry.

Dolly naturally agreed to this excessive request seriously.

After all, it was not her who felt excessive, but her younger brother Harry.

Consider this Dolly's tuition in teaching Harry boxing.
