The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

Soon, several hours of exercise passed.

Both Luna and Qiu Zhang said that there seemed to be some changes, but they still couldn't explain them clearly.

As for the Life Gem, it didn't seem to have changed at all, which meant that without Dolly, it would be difficult for Luna and Qiu Zhang to consume it quickly.

This is good news, which means Dolly doesn't need to worry about the consumption of life gems for the time being.

The only thing Dolly is looking forward to now is what changes the gem of life will bring to the two little witches.

In short, just don't change your appearance like Snow did. Dolly doesn't want her girlfriends to become blue-blooded.

Just like that, life at Hogwarts seemed to have returned to a peaceful tone.

The only thing that could be called news was the Daily Prophet's repeated attacks on the Four-Color Collar.

However, due to Rita's behind-the-scenes manipulation, all readers' attention could never be fully focused, which made the Prophet's attack vulnerable.

In addition, the lottery event launched by Dolly went smoothly, and the first lottery was awarded to a female wizard with 900 gold galleons.

With such a horrible reward, even Rita attacked Dolly on the grounds of money laundering and tax evasion, while advertising for her in the Daily Prophet.

This led to a sharp increase in the subscription of Four Color Collar. Although it was still far behind the Daily Prophet, it had far surpassed the original Quotable.

After more than a month, the total subscription volume of Four Color Collars stabilized, reaching about half of that of the Daily Prophet.

Dolly was already very satisfied with this number. As for the rest of the people who did not subscribe to the four-color collar, apart from being uninterested and unwilling to spend money, they probably stood on the side of the Ministry of Magic and responded to the call of the Daily Prophet to refuse the four-color collar.

After all, the various wizards inside and outside the system related to the Ministry of Magic basically account for half of the entire British wizarding community. Dolly will not force everyone to subscribe to the four-color collar.

As long as there are any opinions on the four-color collar, the magical world will be quickly informed, thus achieving Dolly's goal.

In addition, Dolly did one thing, which was to start soliciting submissions within Hogwarts.

Although it is not a problem for Dolly to give the four-color collars herself and it can save money, Dolly thinks it is too troublesome.

She wasn't known for her writing skills, so she decided to leave it to the students. Of course, if professors were willing to submit their work, they would be given priority, but professors were all very busy and didn't have enough enthusiasm for it.

Encouraged by the passing fee of fifty gold galleons each time and the submission fee of one silver Sickle, Hogwarts even started a small craze for submitting works to the Four-Color Collar.

In the end, even Lovegood didn't know how to choose the manuscripts, so he wrote to ask Dolly for her opinion.

Dolly's answer was simple: at worst, we would select the three best articles for submission, and as for which one to publish, we would just draw lots!

The result of the draw also surprised Dolly. Percy Weasley's article was published very quickly, and its content was some of his work experience as a class leader.

This surprised Dolly, and she felt both amused and helpless.

Because Percy even made a special trip to thank Dolly, because the money was a considerable income for him.

The most important thing is that the money is reasonable and legal, enough for Percy to face everything after graduation more calmly, and he thought it was the result of Dolly's recommendation.

This also made Dolly realize that as one of the few windows for external communication at Hogwarts, this window could be even more significant.

For example, now, Dolly has gained Percy's friendship.

Although some people may hate Percy, after all, after Voldemort returned and took control of the Ministry of Magic, he continued to work in the Ministry of Magic until the seventh film before resigning.

But as an adult, Percy worked hard, had boundless ambition, achieved excellent results, climbed the career ladder, and knew when to quit.

You have to know that Percy was only about 20 years old when he made this decision. It can be seen that his intelligence is not limited to books, and his behavior of currying favor with those in power is just a means of promotion under rational control.

Many people in their forties don't live as clearly as he does. As long as he continues to develop step by step, his future achievements will be limitless.

This is indeed the case. In the original book, he became the Minister of Transport of the British Ministry of Magic at the age of 28, becoming a young and promising powerful figure.

If Hermione had not followed Harry in the original novel and had not had so much halo around her, Percy would probably have occupied the position of Minister of Magic for many years.

Dolly, realizing all this, accepted Percy's friendship calmly and decided to maintain this friendship.

He even began to consciously contact all the current prefects, as most of them would go to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

This meant that the answer to Dolly's original headache of not being able to contact people inside the Ministry of Magic appeared naturally.

Although they might just be small fry within the Ministry of Magic until Dolly graduated, at least they had a channel.

These things did not take Dolly much time. After all, Dolly was now a beautiful and capable person in Hogwarts. Even the Slytherin prefects did not dare to deliberately offend Dolly.

After Dolly showed her willingness, all the prefects would chat and laugh with her when they met her.

This change even surprised Qiu Zhang and Luna.

Dolly did not hide anything and quickly told the key point, which made Qiu Zhang and Luna fall into deep thought.

Luna is fine, after all, she is still young, and the Four-Color Collar is run by her family. In theory, Luna can inherit her father's business and make it bigger and stronger.

As for Qiu Zhang, who was one year older than Dolly, she didn't need to think about her future for the time being, but she had to start thinking about it.

Although for her, capturing Dolly is the most important goal, what comes after that?

Was she also going to become a prefect and work at the Ministry of Magic?

Of course, she didn't say this out loud. After all, it was too early to worry about it.

Apart from these stories, the biggest news from Ravenclaw College is probably Hermione.

Because her weirdness was finally discovered by everyone, because she appeared in different places at the same time more than once every day.

After all, sometimes two classes started at the same time, and Hermione attended two classes at the same time. This was an undeniable fact.

Even many students who could talk to Dolly came to secretly ask Hermione what was going on, and Dolly could only shrug her shoulders to indicate that she didn't know either.

In addition, Hermione was becoming visibly tired.

Not only do I have dark circles under my eyes every day, but sometimes I even start dozing off in class.

She even asked Dolly to help her brew some potions to refresh herself, but Dolly directly refused.

She could choose not to spoil Hermione's interest and let her study so hard, but she absolutely could not ask her to press the accelerator button on Hermione's tired body.

"Then why did you ask me to help you brew the potion?"

After knowing Dolly's thoughts and actions, Luna secretly complained about it in private, and then Dolly rubbed her face until she begged for mercy.

"How can it be the same..."

Dolly still gave an explanation: "I can guarantee that I can solve the sequelae myself, but Hermione doesn't have this ability."

"All right……"

Luna reluctantly accepted this answer, but every time she saw Dolly suffering after the sacrifice, she felt that what Dolly was doing was potentially dangerous.

As for what it was exactly, Luna didn't know, but this persistent feeling made her feel uneasy.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost Halloween.

Dolly thought, Sirius might be coming?

After all, the reason why Sirius escaped from prison was to tell Harry that he was not a Death Eater, nor was he the enemy who killed Harry's parents, and he wanted to recognize Harry.

He really wanted to see Harry, but as for the defense of Hogwarts and the persuasion of his friend Lupin, it was likely that they would not be able to persuade him.

If Sirius listened to others' advice, he would no longer be Sirius.

A dangerous person with a hint of madness about him, that is the essence of Sirius.

At this moment, a notice interrupted Dolly's thoughts. It turned out that the third-year wizards would be allowed to go to Hogsmeade for the weekend for the first time.

This was a huge liberation for the young wizards who were imprisoned at Hogwarts every semester. Even Dolly couldn't help but get excited.

Although Dolly also knew that there was nothing fun in Hogsmeade.

But as a student, as long as I can avoid going to school, I will be happy every day.

And this time, Harry can also go to Hogsmeade.

If the young wizard wants to go to Hogsmeade, he needs to obtain the signature of his guardian. In the original book, Harry was not eligible to go because the Vernons refused to sign, but now the Vernons are naturally happy to serve.

So the two of them from Dolly's side and the three from Harry's side agreed to go for a walk in Hogsmeade together.

That night, Dolly even pulled Hermione aside and said, "I don't care about other things, but you are not allowed to hold those big books of yours this weekend, otherwise I will be really angry."

"All right……"

Hermione also felt that she could not hold on any longer, so she agreed to Dolly's request. Then a long-lost smile appeared on her face, but she soon became sad again.

She looked at her dark circles in the mirror and said, "Will my dark circles never go away?"

"Of course, just drink this potion..."

Dolly pulled out a medicine bottle from her waist bag like a magic trick and said, "Beauty potion, it can keep you young and beautiful."

"Isn't this potion just cosmetic?"

Hermione was a little puzzled, but Dolly said confidently: "I strengthened it."

"After taking it, just sleep with Miss Dolly Dursley in your arms for another night, and it will take effect tomorrow."

Hermione couldn't help laughing when she heard that. She glared at Dolly but still took the potion and drank it.

Then Hermione stretched for the first time in a long time and made a pinky promise to Dolly.

"Hey, are you going to bed so early, Hermione?"

Dolly thought Hermione was inviting her to bed, but Hermione said, "Don't you want to take a bath before you go to bed?"

After saying that, Hermione ran to the bathroom with a smile, saying quickly: "If you can't keep up, you will be locked out."

But the next second Hermione screamed because the door handle turned into a rope and tied her up. Dolly then walked over leisurely with her wand, picked up Hermione horizontally, and laughed exaggeratedly.

"Hermione Dursley, you are mine tonight!"

"What do you mean Hermione Dursley, Dolly you are talking nonsense!"

Hermione twisted her body and screamed with a red face, but then her voice was drowned out by the bathroom door and the sound of running water.

Chapter 254: Touring Hogsmeade.

Next, the two took a bath together after a long time.

There is no need to go into details and process. The only thing that needs to be mentioned is that Hermione fell asleep while the two of them were soaking in the bathtub.

Dolly had no choice but to help Hermione wash her whole body, meticulously not missing any details. Then after helping her wipe clean, she carried Hermione to her bed.

The reason why I didn't go to Hermione's bed was because it would be more novel.

Holding the naked Hermione in her arms, Dolly couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster, even though she was already used to seeing Hermione like this.

After all, taking a shower, taking a bath and lying in bed are two different things.

Of course, Dolly wouldn't do too much unless she got Hermione's permission. Otherwise, what Dolly would do now would only be limited to the scope of being a good friend.

She hugged Hermione's waist, rubbed her nose against Hermione's shoulder blades, felt Hermione's even breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

Dolly was awakened by Hermione's scream in the morning. She opened her eyes and a hand slapped her face. Then Hermione said in a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed voice: "Dolly, what's going on? How can I..."

"You fell asleep yesterday, so I cleaned you and brought you to bed. What else could I do?"

"Then why don't you put me in my pajamas?"

"It's so troublesome... I'm lazy."

Dolly stuck out her tongue, looking like she was being lazy so she was right. Hermione was so angry that her nose was trembling, but was she really angry?

In fact, the only thing that made her angry was that when she woke up, her legs were clamped around Dolly's thighs, as if her body was still not dry after a night.

This made her very depressed and she even didn't dare to face herself.

So Hermione then threw a Crookshanks into Dolly's arms, then went into the bathroom to start her morning tidying up.

After a while, Hermione appeared in casual clothes, and Dolly's eyes lit up.

"Hurry up and get ready, lazy pig! Are you planning to be late at a time like this?"

"of course not."

Then it was Dolly's turn, and half an hour later, the two of them walked into the lobby hand in hand.

Luna and Qiu Zhang had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing the two people's intimacy, Qiu Zhang's eyes were a little evasive, and then he said: "Should I say it's been a long time, Hermione? I always feel that having breakfast together in the morning has become a rare thing."

"I have this strange feeling too."

Luna chimed in, and Hermione tossed her hair and said, "I'm just busy, not gone. Everyone will get used to it soon."

It was obvious that Hermione had no intention of giving up this study plan, although she was beginning to realize that she was almost unable to hold on.
