Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

"I hope that the outcome of your actions will not lead you to any misunderstandings," Professor McGonagall said solemnly.

It has a sense of giving a preventative injection.

Upon hearing this, Harry, Ron, and Malfoy all involuntarily pursed their lips, giving Qin Yu a sense of "waiting to be executed," probably because they all felt that they were about to hear about the punishment.

However, Qin Yu knew that their "expectation" was most likely to be dashed.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall looked at the three of them and said in a slightly gentler tone, "Each of you three will earn five points for your college."

ha?

ha?

ha?

The three, who had been listless, all looked up at the older witch, who had always appeared serious, with some surprise.

How did I get extra points?!

They were momentarily stunned.

Seeing their expressions, Professor McGonagall reluctantly explained, "It's rare for someone your age to have the courage to face and defeat a troll, except for a few exceptions, of course."

As the older witch finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Yu, her mention of "a few people" clearly implying something.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu shrugged indifferently. To him, defeating a troll was nothing to boast about. He was indeed no match for a magical creature like a troll in terms of strength, but killing it was still relatively easy.

"Alright, now go back to your respective dormitories. The Halloween Eve dinner isn't over yet; it will continue in the common areas of each college." Professor McGonagall began to urge everyone on, and then said to Qin Yu, "Qin, take them back to prevent any further danger."

“Yes, Professor McGonagall.” Qin Yu nodded in response.

Then, he left the room, which was a mess and contained a giant monster, with a bunch of kids in tow.

……

After leaving the storage room, Qin Yu led the four first-year students from Gryffindor ahead.

Malfoy trailed behind, somewhat nervously and reservedly.

After all, he was the only Slytherin in the corridor right now, and he felt a bit isolated and helpless.

When they reached the fork in the road leading to the Gryffindor Tower and the Slytherin Dungeon, Qin Yu stopped, turned around, and smiled at Malfoy.

This startled the latter, making him even more uneasy.

"Do you need me to take you back, Malfoy?" Qin Yu asked in a somewhat enthusiastic tone.

"No!" Malfoy shook his head resolutely in refusal.

Perhaps feeling that his answer was too blunt, he explained again: "I, I'm fine on my own. It's very close to Slytherin Dungeon from here."

"Alright, then be careful on your journey." Qin Yu didn't insist.

Judging from Malfoy's reaction, the fact that I gave it to him only made him more uneasy.

Sigh, can't people trust each other a little?

While mentally complaining, Qin Yu led the Gryffindor group to the left.

Relieved, Malfoy quickly jogged away to his right.

"Another draw." Ron muttered as he watched Malfoy's figure disappear into the distance.

Harry paused for a moment, then quickly understood what his friend meant and added, "Our house lost five points and got ten, and Slytherin also got five points, so in the end it was the same."

It's infuriating! I failed to surpass Slytherin again!

Both of them wore expressions of regret.

However, they also knew that Malfoy's five points were earned through his own abilities.

Thinking about what just happened, I have to say, when there's danger, that guy really does step up.

"I've heard that going through something big together can really bring people closer," Qin Yu said, turning to Harry and Ron, winking, and asking, "So, after what just happened, have you two become good friends with Malfoy?"

"no!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Harry and Ron shook their heads resolutely, just as firmly as Malfoy had refused Qin Yu's "escort" offer earlier.

Moreover, they subconsciously associated Qin's "good friend" with Malfoy, and images of playing "lovingly" with Malfoy flashed through their minds...

Thinking of this, they all shivered involuntarily, and goosebumps rose on their bodies.

"Even if there's only one wizard left in the world, Malfoy and I will never be good friends!" Harry thought about the guy's awful personality. Even though his opinion of him had changed slightly today, he still didn't have much affection for him.

“Me too, I’d rather face the dragon than that guy!” Ron said firmly.

One of them claimed that all the wizards in the world were dead, and the other even brought up a dragon. Qin Yu really wanted to ask, "Have you considered the thoughts of the other wizards and the dragon?"

Of course, he was just complaining to himself.

"I was just asking out of curiosity." After saying this, Qin Yu waved his hand and said to the others, "Alright, it's time to go back. I wasn't full from the dinner just now when the giant interrupted me. I hope there will still be something to eat when I get back."

His reminder alerted Harry and Ron, whose stomachs were already rumbling from lack of food. Moreover, their fight with the troll, though brief, had been incredibly exhausting, making them even hungrier.

As a result, their pace quickened unconsciously.

When the group returned to the Gryffindor common area, it was already quite lively.

Such an unexpected situation is rare on a peaceful campus, and everyone's excitement far outweighs their fear—except, of course, for a few timid individuals.

Everyone was talking about the troll, wondering how it got into Hogwarts, which professor would subdue it, and some even said that if Headmaster Dumbledore had intervened, he would have easily dealt with it. This view was widely accepted.

After listening to everyone's discussion for a while, Ron couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking to himself, "This troll was defeated by me, Harry, and... well, some other unimportant guy."

Just as he was about to say something to Harry, he caught a glimpse of Percy, who looked serious and gloomy, walking towards him.

Ron's eyelids twitched violently, and he immediately froze.

My older brother is always very strict, and he's also a Gryffindor prefect, so I'm sure I'm going to get a good scolding this time.

Meanwhile, his two older brothers, George and Fred, who were standing not far away, showed no sympathy for their unfortunate younger brother and even looked on with schadenfreude.

"Ronnie, hang in there!"

"Don't be afraid, Percy won't eat you."

After exchanging a few words, the two quickly slipped away before Percy could arrive.

“Ron, I’ve heard about what happened to you,” Percy said, walking up to Ron.

“Percy, I…” Ron tried to explain something with a pained expression, but was speechless for a moment.

“I hope you think about the dangers before you do something, instead of acting rashly,” Percy said in a cautionary tone.

"I...I understand," Ron said timidly, his head bowed.

"Yes, I'm glad you're alright." Percy said softly, then straightened up and said solemnly, "Don't think I'll keep this a secret for you. I'll tell Mom and Dad."

"No, Percy, Mom will eat me alive if she finds out..." Ron said with a look of fear.

However, Percy was not swayed by his brother's pleas. Instead, he went to Harry, Adam, and others, advising them to communicate more with their teachers and elders when problems arose.

……

The unconscious giant was dragged away by Uncle Hagrid.

Aside from the storage room being completely messed up, the damage wasn't too great.

Thus, this unexpected incident has been resolved relatively satisfactorily.

In the dead of night, an angry growl echoed from the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's office.

"It's all Harry Potter's fault! That damn little boy!"

"Master, Master... This time it wasn't just him, there were two others..."

"Do you think the other two are important? Foolish!"

"Yes, I was wrong."

"I must find a chance to get rid of him! He's a stumbling block, always causing me trouble!"

"Yes, yes, Master!"

"Damn it!"
