Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

“These things we’ve planned can’t be realized anytime soon. What we can do now is to keep accumulating our wealth so that when the opportunity comes, we can seize it decisively!” Qin Yu said to the twin brothers as they were about to get off the car.

"Qin, your vision is truly more far-sighted than ours," George remarked.

“Yes, our dreams are still limited to running a grocery store,” Fred echoed.

"Your ideas are actually quite good; many of your ingenious ideas are enough to bring about change to the world," Qin Yu said, giving them a compliment.

Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately burst into laughter.

Although Qin Yu was a year younger than them, the two brothers were completely convinced of his extensive knowledge after chatting all the way. The fact that Qin Yu had affirmed their whimsical ideas, which they were so proud of, made them feel quite proud.

As darkness fell, the Hogwarts Express slowly came to a stop at Hogsmeade Station.

The children from the magic school arrived at their destination.

The older students had to get off the bus first, so George and Fred said goodbye to Qin Yu and strongly suggested that he choose Gryffindor before leaving.

"Of course, the Sorting Hat has the final say on this," George said with a hint of helplessness.

“But we really hope you can come to Gryffindor so we can easily discuss our plans to make a fortune together!” Fred added.

Qin Yu smiled and said he hoped so.

……

As Qin Yu stepped off the train with the freshmen of the class of 1990, he happened to see the carriage carrying the group of upperclassmen leaving.

From a distance, he could see a group of thin, black flying horses pulling carriages as they sped away.

That is the Thestral, a magical creature that can only be seen by those who have witnessed death.

Qin Yu was not surprised at all that he could see them.

"I've not only seen death, I've died once," he muttered to himself.

"Children, follow me to the dock to board the boat. Remember, there can only be four people on a boat at most! Also, don't cause trouble on the boat. There are ferocious monsters in the lake. If you fall in, it might scare you," Hagrid's voice rang out.

This giant, over three meters tall, immediately drew gasps of amazement from the freshmen.

At the same time, they also felt an instinctive awe towards him. After all, how could they not be afraid of such a big man, who was two or three times the height of these children?

Of course, Qin Yu is an exception, since they are old acquaintances.

"Qin, we meet again!" Hagrid greeted Qin Yu with a smile.

Qin Yu also greeted Haig.

Although the two had only known each other for less than a day, Qin Yu felt as if he were already very familiar with him.

Whether it was because of their past life acquaintance, or because Qin Yu felt a sense of familiarity with the simple-minded uncle, or perhaps both, in any case, their relationship was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Then, Hagrid invited Qin Yu to ride on the same boat with him.

"Louis has arrived safely!" Hagrid said quietly after boarding the ship, his eyes crinkling with laughter as he spoke.

He really loved that big dog.

"That's good!" Qin Yu said, a little nervously.

His nervousness stemmed from a simple reason: Hagrid was far too heavy. Even with the two of them on board, Qin Yu was still worried that the small boat might sink at any moment.

This greatly affected his feelings when he first saw Hogwarts Castle.

In contrast, the children on the other boats were speechless with astonishment.

That towering ancient castle, like a wise man quietly waiting for them, welcomed the arrival of a new batch of students!

Will they also be remembered by this legendary magic school and become a new legend alongside her?

As the small boat drew closer, the freshmen couldn't contain their excitement and anticipation.

……

The boat stopped at the dock, and Qin Yu quickly jumped ashore.

One by one, newborns disembarked from the other small boats.

Led by Hagrid, the group entered the castle through its oak doors and ascended three flights of stairs to reach a foyer.

After gathering in the lobby, the stern-faced Professor McGonagall explained the upcoming project to them—assigning students to colleges.

Then, when the time was almost up, the doors of Hogwarts Great Hall slowly opened, revealing a magnificent, brightly lit hall before everyone.

To be honest, even though he already knew what this place looked like, Qin Yu still felt a strong sense of awe when he actually stepped into the auditorium.

Whether it was the thousands of candles suspended in the air or the sea of ​​stars above the dome, they all gave Qin Yu an incredibly fantastic and grand visual experience.

Once the new students entered the auditorium, Professor Dumbledore, who was sitting in the center of the stage, stood up and gave a welcome speech, mentioning several school rules, such as not wandering around at night and not going to the Forbidden Forest.

Qin Yu also met Severus Snape for the first time. Snape seemed to sense Qin Yu's gaze and glanced in his direction a few more times, but his expression remained unchanged, always cold and aloof.

Afterwards, under Professor McGonagall's supervision, the allocation of colleges began.

Qin Yu knew all these procedures, but as a participant, he still felt quite novel about them.

However, there weren't many familiar faces among this year's freshmen. He only knew Cho Chang and Katie Bell, who had been sorted into Ravenclaw and Gryffindor respectively, before him.

When it was Qin Yu's turn, he took two deep breaths and stepped onto the stairs.

Then, Professor McGonagall placed that hat, which hadn't been washed for who knows how many years, on Qin Yu's head.

“Wow, a little boy from the East… Your origins are truly perplexing… The immense power and extraordinary opportunities within you make you perfectly suited for Slytherin, where you would surely shine… However, your composure and courage are more suited to Gryffindor… This is quite a dilemma…”

The sorting cap, which clearly states the name of the college on other people's heads, is now babbling incessantly on Qin Yu's head.

Qin Yu felt a slight itch as he looked at the talking and moving hat on his head.

"I want to go to Gryffindor!" Unable to stand its nagging, Qin Yu made the choice for the hat.

His reason for going to Gryffindor was definitely not for George and Fred's get-rich-quick scheme; he simply wanted to be closer to little Hermione. After all, he had promised to help her get familiar with the environment, and he had to keep his word.

Since there was no clear answer to this hat, he decided to make the decision himself to stop it from nagging him.

"Good, good, your choice is definitely the right one! Gryffindor!!!" The Sorting Hat shouted out the name of the house Qin Yu would be assigned to.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted at the Gryffindor table, with George and Fred clapping the most enthusiastically.

Amidst the applause, Qin Yu arrived at the Gryffindor dining table and found an empty seat.

……

After a sumptuous dinner, the grade leaders led everyone back to their dormitories.

The current prefect of Gryffindor is Charlie Weasley, who is about to graduate, and Qin Yu had met him before.

Charlie led everyone to the eighth floor, and at the end of a corridor, he spoke the password to a portrait of a fat lady: Dragon Beard.

With the portrait opened, Charlie led everyone into the Gryffindor dormitory area.

After pausing briefly in the public rest area, Charlie said, "Boys go to the left, girls go to the right. Don't get them mixed up."

After he finished speaking, the children dispersed to find their own rooms.

Qin Yu also went up the stairs on the left and found the dormitory room with his name on it.

The first night at Hogwarts is destined to be one of excitement that keeps one awake at night.

Qin Yu lay in bed, thinking about many things from his past and present lives, and gradually fell asleep after a long time.
