Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

The cold, damp winds of the Atlantic Ocean blew in from the southwest, making my robes flutter in the high sky and my flushed cheeks sting from the exercise.

Qin Yu swung his bat, knocking away another stray ball. Then he hovered there, watching the "battle" ahead, letting a few beads of sweat slide down his forehead and cheeks, falling into the wind and being blown to pieces.

The outcome of the battle was already clear when Harry's brooms started behaving "obediently" again, or rather, from that moment on, Slytherin had already lost their fighting spirit.

Just now, Qin Yu swung his ball and hit Slytherin Seeker Terence Higgs. Given Harry's speed, it was foreseeable that he would catch the Golden Snitch first.

Therefore, Qin Yu's mind was in a blank and detached state at this moment, which is not much different from the legendary "wise man's time".

"That guy really hates Harry to the core, after all, it was Harry who made him look like a ghost back then..."

"I definitely can't beat them, unless I unleash my full power. But unleashing your full power is definitely harmful to your body, and there are too many unknowns. I'd better use it with caution..."

"I wonder if the restrictions the system imposed on me are a form of protection in disguise. I just hope it's not a trap..."

"I'll take my time and see. I'm still a child. I hope I can continue to enjoy a few more years of leisurely time..."

These jumbled thoughts floated through Qin Yu's mind. He didn't deliberately try to figure anything out; he just let his thoughts wander, going wherever they led him.

As he thought of a certain place, Qin Yu glanced at the stands where the professors were, as if trying to see through the headscarves to the terrifying face.

"Harry Potter!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Victory! Victory!"

Suddenly, enthusiastic cheers erupted both on and off the field.

Qin Yu stopped his chaotic thoughts and looked in the direction where Harry was. He saw the latter holding a small golden ball with wings, looking around blankly at the cheering crowd, with a clear and foolish disbelief in his eyes.

When Harry looked at Qin Yu, Qin Yu smiled and nodded at him. Immediately, excitement and elation replaced the bewilderment on the boy's face.

In stark contrast to the dejected Slytherin players were the jubilant Gryffindor players, who flew in from all directions to congratulate Harry and express their joy at the victory.

……

In the Gryffindor stands, Monnie and Zina had already stood up with the other students, waving banners and cheering.

Ron jumped up excitedly, feeling genuinely proud of his good brother's performance.

"Harry, you're amazing!"

He was so excited that even when his equally excited cousin reached out and ruffled his hair, he turned around and gave her a happy, silly grin.

“Harry, he’s just like his father since he was a kid… sob…” Hagrid clapped his large hands, muttering with a mixture of relief and sadness.

As for Neville, Dean, Seamus, and the others, they naturally cheered along with the people around them.

"It's so lively... This feeling really brings back memories~"

Adam's soft whisper was drowned out by the sea of ​​cheers, and only Hermione, who was sitting relatively restrained, could hear the gist of it.

However, she didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to what the other person was saying, because the girl had just noticed that Qin had glanced in the direction of the professors again, and through the binoculars, she saw the "complex" expression on Qin's face.

This involuntarily reminded her of the letters Qin had written to her, in which Qin mentioned Professor Snape's name more than once. Even though there were many teasing remarks about the professor in the letters, Hermione could still feel the respect and affection expressed between the lines.

Not long ago, I "told" Qin about the conversation Harry overheard. Now that I think about it, Qin's expression at the time was somewhat shocked.

Now, Harry has been subjected to a targeted "attack." Qin has obviously noticed something amiss, otherwise he wouldn't have hit that wandering ball towards the stands and shown such a complicated expression.

Furthermore, even after the competition had just ended, Qin subconsciously looked towards where the professors were sitting. Isn't all of this enough to explain the situation?

"Qin must be very conflicted... I must find out the truth for him!" Hermione clenched her fist, her gaze resolute.

Then, she turned to look at Hagrid, who was getting up to leave.

……

After the match, Harry Potter's first thought was to find Qin Yu—although he didn't know what had happened on the field, he later realized that Qin's actions when his broom went out of control were full of "deep meaning".

In short, Qin definitely didn't abandon him, but he still doesn't know what Qin did.

That's why I thought of asking Qin, and also hoping to gain his approval.

However, when he arrived at the locker room, he found that Qin was not there.

"It seems he was called away by Professor Snape just now, but he didn't say what it was about," Captain Wood told him.

Harry could only change his clothes and leave the dressing room with a slight disappointment.

As he left the Quidditch pitch, he saw Hermione frantically running after a huge figure—Hagrid.

"Hagrid, why didn't you wait for me to finish?" Hermione shouted from behind.

"Hermione, you should go back now..." Hagrid replied helplessly.

The towering Hagrid kept walking forward, while the petite, brown-haired Hermione had to exert a great deal of effort to keep up with him.

Harry didn't think much of it when he saw this, picked up his flying broom and followed, meeting up with his friend Ron along the way.

……

"Why didn't you go to save that kid right away?" In an empty office, Snape asked Qin Yu, who had just entered, with a slight frown.

His tone contained neither accusation nor questioning, but rather a hint of confusion.

Clearly, in his mind, it was normal for Qin to step in and save Harry when he was in danger, and it would be illogical for him to turn around and leave.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "Perhaps, between the competition and Harry, I value the competition more? After all, I'm not very familiar with him."

Snape didn't believe his nonsense. After glancing at him, he said as if talking to himself, "What you did back then defied common sense, at least from the perspective of those who knew you."

"Fortunately, there aren't many people in this world who understand me, are there, Professor?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

Seeing his attitude, Snape snorted and finally said angrily, "Stop with your cleverness! You know nothing about the person you're dealing with! You know nothing, understand?!"

"Don't get agitated, Professor! Don't get agitated! I'll be more careful in the future," Qin Yu quickly reassured him. He could tell that Snape was genuinely angry.

After calming down, Snape looked coldly at the boy: "It seems you really did figure something out back then. In that case, you should have done nothing at all!"

"I just wanted to help... Okay, okay, I'll be careful." Qin Yu said halfway through, but seeing Snape's unfriendly look, he quickly changed the subject.

If someone genuinely cares about you, there's no need to argue. That's Qin Yu's principle.

"You'd better really understand."

Professor Snape wasn't a talkative person. After figuring out the situation, clearing up some of his doubts, and letting that perpetually troublesome fellow know the implications, he kicked him out.

"Watch out, Q..."

Just before Qin Yu was about to leave, he overheard Snape say half of what he was saying.

"Hmm?" He turned around to look.

"Be careful in everything you do, and don't take any risks." Snape didn't finish his sentence, but instead waved his magic robe sleeve, telling Qin Yu to get as far away as possible.

"okay!"

Qin Yu didn't need him to say that name. He waved goodbye to Snape, pushed open the door, and left.
