The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Diandian left the Room of Requirement at the drop of a hat and returned a moment later with pumpkin pie and grilled pork chops.

It was not long before dinner time ended, and there was still a lot of food left by the little wizards, which was enough for Dolly and the other three to squander.

Dolly only ate a little, Qiu Zhang ate half a pie, and Luna exaggeratedly seemed to have eaten another dinner.

"Don't look at me, I'm really hungry..."

Luna's shy but voracious appearance made Dolly and Qiu Zhang unable to help but tease her, but it was just a good-natured joke.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Dolly said, "It looks like we can come to a conclusion for now."

Chapter 241 Lupin's Class.

"This gem can make our physical fitness stronger. As for whether it will bring about some enhancement of magical abilities, I am not sure yet."

"But at least it seems like a good thing now. At least Luna won't be so skinny and weak anymore."

Dolly hugged Luna happily. Luna smiled shyly, but did not resist Dolly. Instead, she stuck close to Dolly.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhang on the side thought for a while, then simply moved closer to Dolly and began to share his feelings with the two girls.

The three of them chatted for a long time and did not return to Ravenclaw together until nine o'clock in the evening.

Dolly had thought Hermione would ask her where she had been, or even get furious, but all Dolly saw was Hermione furiously writing and organizing her notes.

This is not surprising. After all, Hermione had at least ten classes today. Including the review before class and the summary after class, it would take her at least 12 hours to barely finish all the work.

And it has to be 12 hours straight. If you get distracted, it may take 14 hours, not counting the time for eating and traveling.

Although Hermione has a time-turner, she can only convert her free time into study time, and cannot extend her time beyond 24 hours a day.

So Dolly didn't disturb her, but read a book and prepared to rest.

It seemed that Hermione was also waiting for this. After Dolly closed her eyes, she changed into her school uniform again, hid in the closet, and then disappeared.

Only then did Dolly open her eyes and glanced speechlessly at Hermione's empty bed.

She wasn't unhappy because she couldn't lie down with Hermione and cuddle with her, but because it was only the first day and Hermione had already sacrificed some of her sleep time.

It would be strange if she could hold on without getting sick at this rate.

Dolly looked at the empty bed and felt an unprecedented loneliness for a moment.

He simply waved to Crookshanks and the others and said, "Come and keep me company."

The poodles, naturally swinging in the air, came over in a flash, and the aloof Crookshanks also came over obediently this time and lay in Dolly's arms, as if he was also dissatisfied with his master's crazy energy.

Slowly, Dolly fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes the next day, Hermione was sleeping on the bed without even taking off her underwear.

Seeing this, Dolly wondered whether to wake her up.

In the end, Dolly finally chose to use her wand to strip Hermione's clothes, then stuffed her naked body into the quilt and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

Anyway, she has a time converter, so at worst she can switch back later.

Dolly would rather she sacrifice some time for preparation and organizing notes than sacrifice her sleep time. After all, everyone is still growing.

Before leaving, Dolly secretly kissed Hermione's chapped lips as a way of collecting the interest for helping her clean up the mess.

After doing all this, Duoli arrived at the restaurant and saw Qiu Zhang's puzzled look.

"Where's Hermione?"

"Sleep in."

"She won't be sick, will she?"

Sure enough, even Qiu Zhang couldn't understand what was going on with Hermione.

Dolly could only shrug. She couldn't bring up the Time Turner, so she could only say, "She wanted to get full marks in all her electives this year, so she had to sacrifice her rest time. But she almost didn't make it on the first day."

Qiu Zhang blinked and suddenly felt that this was not bad.

She was originally sitting opposite Dolly, but she went straight to Dolly's side, where Hermione's seat was originally.

In order to avoid her behavior from appearing too abrupt, she waved to Luna and asked her to sit on the other side of Dolly. Then she pulled Dolly and Luna to whisper to each other: "I was still very hungry when I woke up this morning, and I feel that my magic seems to have become stronger. How about you?"

Dolly looked at her in surprise and said, "My words didn't have much effect this time, but last time I felt that my physical strength had increased a little."

When Qiu Zhang heard Dolly mention the last time, his eyes couldn't help but become a little vague again.

The thought of Hermione's absence made her subconsciously move closer to Dolly.

As for Luna, she said: "I had a lot of strange dreams and saw a lot of strange things in them... I don't know if this counts?"

Duoli and Qiu Zhang laughed when they heard this, and simply handed a pile of food to Luna, saying: "From today on, we are the three sisters who work together to eat."

After Dolly finished speaking, she saw a hurried figure running over. She was stunned for a moment when she saw that her seat was taken, but without thinking too much, she ran to the other side, picked up the pie and started to eat it.

It was Hermione who was rarely late for breakfast and was not with Dolly.

Although Qiu Zhang had taken Hermione's place, he still cared about her and said, "Hermione, elective courses don't count towards your total score. You don't need to work so hard, and you shouldn't let them affect your life."

Hermione just said calmly: "I can do it, I have a secret weapon."

Then he looked at Dolly strangely.

As for Dolly, after looking at Hermione for a few seconds, she realized that this was not the Hermione who had just woken up, but the Hermione who had returned at an unknown time today.

This made Dolly not know how to start a conversation with her for a moment, so she could only remain silent.

But Hermione didn't let Dolly feel embarrassed for long. She resolved the fight in just five minutes and ran away in a hurry.

This scene surprised Luna a little. She asked, "Won't she get a stomachache if she eats like this?"

"Whatever."

Dolly sighed. This was Hermione's choice and she really had no right to interfere.

One can only hope that Hermione realizes sooner rather than later that doing so is totally not worth it.

Afterwards, the three girls finished their breakfast and went for a walk together before finally dispersing to go to their respective classes.

Because Dolly took elective courses, she was naturally busier than last semester, but it was only about six classes a day, which was acceptable.

But without Hermione's company, Dolly felt that her daily life had become boring.

To be precise, it becomes normal.

There were no more surprises, no more beauty, only running around in the classrooms. The only thing that remained was the meeting with Qiu Zhang and Luna every night, which made Dolly look forward to it.

However, if three people use the blue gems together, the gems will obviously be consumed faster, and this kind of life will not last long.

But there are some changes this year that even Dolly is looking forward to.

For example, Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.

This day, Lupin's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class finally arrived.

As the first reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts in three years, the first lesson he taught to the third-year students was how to deal with Boggarts.

Dolly was also very curious about what kind of things she would be afraid of.

With this thought in mind, Dolly arrived at the class, and Hermione also appeared here in a hurry.

Dolly looked at her exhausted appearance, pulled her in front of her, let her sit on her lap, tidied her hair and clothes, and then gently massaged her temples.

"Ah...thank you."

Hermione laughed happily and leaned back against Dolly, seeming to feel less tired than she had been for the past few days.

Dolly didn't say much, that was all she could do.

After a while, Lupin appeared.

With a faint smile on his face, he placed the tattered old box on the podium.

He was still as ragged as ever, but his complexion was much healthier than when he was on the train, as if he had eaten several good meals.

"good afternoon,"

Lupin said, "Please put your textbooks back into your bags. Today is a practical class and you only need your wands."

The students put their books away and exchanged a few curious glances. They had never had a practical lesson in Defense Against the Dark Arts before, unless they counted the time last year when Lockhart's bottom was exposed.

"alright,"

Professor Lupin saw that everyone was ready and said, "Follow me."

The students were confused and interested. They stood up one after another and followed Professor Luping out of the classroom.

He led them down the empty corridor and around a corner, where they saw Peeves, the most mischievous of pranksters, hanging headfirst in mid-air, stuffing gum into the keyhole nearest him.

Peeves didn't look up until Professor Lupin was two steps away. Then he wiggled his toes and broke into song.

"Lupin, you lunatic fool,"

Peeves sang, "Lupin the lunatic, the fool, Lupin the lunatic, the fool—"

Professor Lupin sighed softly and drew his wand.

"It's a useful little spell,"

He turned to the class and said, "Please pay attention."

He raised his wand to shoulder height, pointed it at Peeves, and said, "Wadiwasi."

With a whoosh, the piece of gum shot out of the keyhole like a bullet and went into Peeves' left nostril. Peeves somersaulted into the air, cursing, and flew away quickly.

The students praised Lupin. This was the first time they felt that a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was reliable.

Then a group of people set out again and took everyone into the staff lounge.

Snape was sitting in a low armchair in the lounge. He looked at the students coming in one after another, his eyes shining and a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Lupin and everyone else came in and were about to close the door when Snape stood up and said, "I'd better not witness this. Perhaps no one has warned you, Lupin, that there is a Neville Longbottom in this class."

"I suggest you don't give him anything complicated to do unless the Dursleys and Miss Granger teach him how to cast spells together."

After saying this, he stood up like a big bat and fanned his son to fly out the door.

Looking at the other person's back, Lupin was not angry at all, but replied calmly: "I originally hoped that Neville would help me complete the first step of teaching. I believe he will perform very well."

Neville's face was already red with anger because of Snape's words, and now his face was even redder because of Lupin's words.

The students looked at Lupin in surprise. There were many professors who dared to challenge Snape, but he seemed to be the first professor who defended his students so warmly.

Lupin gave his classmates a smile and said, "Okay, follow me."

Finally, everyone came to a cabinet, and the wardrobe suddenly shook and slammed against the wall.

"Don't worry,"

Professor Lupin saw several students jump back in shock and said calmly, "There's a Boggart in there."

Some students were just curious at first, but after hearing the name Boggart, they became really scared.

As for the reason, Lupin immediately began to explain.

"Boggarts prefer dark, enclosed spaces,"

Professor Lupin said, "This one was just moved in yesterday afternoon. I asked the principal to let the teachers keep it for my third-year students to use in practical classes."

"Now, the first question we have to ask ourselves is: What is a Boggart?"

Hermione immediately raised her hand high, but Lupin just gave her a smile and called Harry's name.

"I remember it was a shapeshifter that would transform into whatever it thought would scare us the most."

Lupin smiled excitedly and said, "That's right. What do you think will happen to it if I let it out now?"

Harry frowned, thinking about what he was afraid of, but when he saw so many people around him, his eyes lit up and he said, "There are too many of us. Who knows what it might become?"

"Absolutely right, five points to Gryffindor!"

Lupin's words made Hermione put down her hand in disappointment.

She whispered in Dolly's ear, "Why does he feel like the opposite of another Snape?"

Dolly curled her lips and whispered to her, "It's okay. He probably wouldn't be so unscrupulous as to favor Gryffindor."

It's impossible for Lupin not to favor Gryffindor, and it's no news that professors favor their favorite houses.
