Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Although Harry was stumped by Professor Snape's advanced question in Potions class, which caused Gryffindor to lose a point, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and he began a full-scale competition with Malfoy.

Yes, the competition for attention mainly manifests in the act of vying to raise one's hand to answer questions in class.

After all, he had Hermione Granger, a top student in his grade, as a classmate, and Qin, a legend in the upper grades, as his backer, which made him exceptionally well-off.

In short: the advantage is in my hands!

When Harry shared a similar idea with Qin, Qin remained silent for a long time before giving him a meaningful look.

Why imitate Chiang Kai-shek's speech? Are you going to keep a diary too?

Pshaw, what respectable person keeps a diary!

Qin Yu was thinking of all sorts of random complaints in his mind, but of course he couldn't say them aloud. Instead, he gave a serious and encouraging speech:

“Good, have confidence. You can ask me anytime if you have any questions, or ask Hermione. Also, take a good look at the notes I gave you before.”

However, he silently added in his mind: I'm sorry, Harry, I'm an undercover agent!

"As long as you don't complain that studying is too boring." Hermione shrugged, indicating that she could also act as a "study advisor."

"Thank you, Qin! Thank you, Hermione!" Harry said excitedly, his expression very serious.

"Me... do I have to come too?" Ron asked nervously from the side.

Studying was a rather painful thing for him.

Of course, it wasn't that he was unwilling to learn, but he just had an instinctive aversion to it—how many people in the world truly love learning?

However, since his best friend Harry Potter has started to focus his energy on studying, he definitely has to keep up with him.

However, pain is still pain.

Therefore, the idea of ​​learning happily is a false proposition.

“I… want to be with you too…” Neville stammered.

Looking at Neville, Ron felt much better and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, saying, "Okay, let's do it together!"

Young people are not afraid of many things, especially when they have friends to do the same thing with, which makes it more interesting.

Pain is pain, but it's good to have someone by my side.

To appear sociable, Adam also said that as long as he didn't sleep, he could study and progress together with them.

The Party of Ambition has gained another member who is not so enthusiastic about making progress.

……

Regardless, Qin Yu felt that the situation was developing quite well.

Not only did Malfoy become incredibly focused on his magical studies, but Harry, Ron, Neville, and the others also seemed to be threatened or infected, determined not to be outdone by him.

However, Qin Yu himself would have to work a little harder, as he would have to openly help Harry and the others with their studies, and also disguise himself as a mysterious old man to secretly meet with Malfoy late at night.

You have to help both sides, but you also have to be careful not to break the balance of the game.

It's like a game planner from my past life, but this time he's a real person.

Fortunately, he only needs to wear a mask and meet Malfoy once a week at midnight on Fridays to check on his progress, answer his questions, and give him some pointers on new magical knowledge.

……

Of course, helping the kids with their studies is only a small part of Qin Yu's campus life; he also has his own things to do.

Completing his second-year coursework was just the bare minimum, which was not difficult at all. He had even made great strides in courses such as potions, spells, and defense against the dark magic.

This was probably due to his coexistence and struggle with the Obscurial power within him, coupled with his own talent and hard work, as well as the careful guidance of Snape and Swinton, which allowed him to make far greater progress in his magical studies than ordinary people.

Besides studying, there's also Quidditch training, which is good for physical fitness. After all, a healthy body is essential for learning magic; without a good physique, even waving a wand is difficult.

Besides the usual study and training schedule, he has recently devoted a significant portion of his energy to alchemy. Since he has a pretty good idea that this is an assignment left by Swinton, and he wants to try communicating with him through alchemy, he might as well study it carefully.

As a result, Qin Yu's life in his second year at Hogwarts became more fulfilling and busy than in his first year.

And so, time passed day by day. The kids started a fairly healthy competition in and out of class. Even Hermione, who used to be a bright student who loved answering questions in class, was overshadowed by those guys and didn't stand out as much. This made her less ostracized in the Muggle world—of course, no one dared to do anything to her at Hogwarts.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu has made some progress in his tireless research on "alchemical communication methods".

One day, as usual, he was in an empty classroom, meditating with his alchemical sword in his arms.

Following the method left by Professor Swinton, he recalled his understanding of alchemy in his mind, tried hard to imagine the materials and alchemical processes used in the longsword, and attempted to recreate the alchemical longsword in his mind in order to achieve spiritual resonance with it, and through this longsword, resonate with another longsword placed one meter away opposite him.

Once, twice, three times... After countless attempts, beads of sweat appeared on Qin Yu's forehead, but the longsword opposite him remained completely still.

Just as he was about to give up due to excessive mental exhaustion, the longsword he had envisioned suddenly became clear in his mind.

Qin Yu was immediately delighted, and his thoughts began to wander toward the fictional longsword.

"Buzz!"

It was as if a metallic vibrating sound echoed in my mind.

Immediately, the real longsword he was holding trembled.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Immediately afterwards, the longsword that Snape had given him, which was lying opposite him, made a sound as it struck the ground.

Snape's longsword resonated successfully!

I've succeeded, Daoist Master!

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, a smile he couldn't hide appearing on his lips.

Although the resonance was very slight and the distance was very short, it was still the first step!

Immediately, Qin Yu lay on his back on the ground, overwhelmed by exhaustion.

……

"Qin, you look very tired," Hermione said with concern during dinner.

"Yeah, I overdid it a bit today. I'll be fine after a short while." Qin Yu gave her what he thought was a very warm smile.

Hermione pouted and muttered as she handed him food, "Don't I know you? You don't care about anything when you're busy. Now eat more and go back to rest."

"Okay, whatever you say." Qin Yu nodded readily, then opened his mouth and took a bite of the bread she offered, indicating that he wanted a grilled sausage.

Hermione saw that he was really exhausted today, so she "reluctantly" fed him.

After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Yu felt much better and leaned back in his chair, listening to the others chat.

Unexpectedly, he heard Hermione say, "...Halloween is the day after tomorrow. You wrote that it would be very lively, which makes me really look forward to it..."

"Yes, it's not only lively, but there's also a lot of delicious food..." Qin Yu said, then paused slightly.

Yes, Halloween is the day after tomorrow.

Halloween Eve is a day that's hard to ignore.
