Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Before obtaining this newspaper, Qin Yu was extremely eager to get his hands on it.

Now that he had the newspaper in his hand, he hesitated to open it.

Because he didn't know what kind of answer he would get.

He thought angrily to himself, "I've never been so worried about a man in either of my two lives. Second brother, you're such a worry!"

Hermione, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to notice his hesitation, so she dragged her chair next to him and sat down beside him.

Then, the girl said with a grin, "Let's see together, I don't even know what Professor Swinton looks like yet!"

She didn't know what Qin was thinking at that moment, but she felt that at least she could accompany him to look at the newspaper that he had finally obtained but was now struggling with.

Looking at the girl's bright smile, Qin Yu felt incredibly lucky at that moment, having already beaten 99% of the world's single people.

Of course, he is now also a single dog.

However, this didn't stop him from fantasizing about what his future child's name would be, or whether his wife would be willing to cosplay as Ayaka Kamisato or Furness for him tonight.

However, time is moving at its own pace, neither too fast nor too slow, and there is no need to be impatient.

"Hurry up and read the newspaper!" Hermione urged again.

This guy is staring at her blankly again. If he keeps staring, Hermione thinks she might blush.

Even if I am pretty and cute, there's no need to stare at them for so long, is there? The two of them are together all day long, and I can't run away.

Qin Yu snapped out of his reverie, turned his gaze to the newspaper in his hand, took a deep breath to calm himself, and slowly opened it.

Hermione seemed to be infected by Qin Yu's nervousness as well, holding her breath and turning her body to the side, leaning her head forward to look.

Strands of the girl's hair brushed against Qin Yu's face, tickling him but actually making him feel much more relaxed.

Focusing their attention on the open page, Qin Yu and Hermione began to read it carefully together.

The newspaper's content, on the contrary, was "mediocre and unremarkable".

The text provides a lengthy overview of the development trajectory of the GA organization—it first suddenly appeared in Brazil in South America and quickly gained momentum there. After gaining a certain influence, it moved north and entered the North American wizarding world. Through various means, it recruited a large number of lower-level wizards, thus rapidly extending its reach throughout North America.

Now, the GA organization, which has gained some influence, has begun to step into the limelight, actively competing for seats in the Magical Congress and advocating for the interests of the majority of wizards.

During this period, several influential members of the Magical Congress endorsed this emerging organization, and Gellert Abernathy was even praised by them as "a rising political star who can bring new vitality to the wizarding world in North America," a development that shocked many people.

As a newspaper that prides itself on speaking the truth (referring to The Voice of Wizards), we believe that the rapid rise of the GA organization is highly unusual and that it must have used some shady methods. As some of the organization's key leaders, John Jr. and Ian Stanley may have been responsible for this, because some wizards have reported that they have personally experienced or heard that the two of them, either individually or simultaneously, threatened wizards with force, and even used offensive magic.

Therefore, The Voice of Wizards believes that we need to be wary of the influence of this organization and are concerned about the future of the Magical Congress and even the entire North American wizarding community.

After reading the report, Qin Yu remained silent for a long time.

"Is the person you're talking about who looks like Professor Swinton this Ian Stanley? Do you think they're the same person?" Hermione finally spoke, breaking the silence.

“I don’t know either…” Qin Yu shook his head, thought for a moment and then continued, “If you only look at his appearance, he does look a lot like Swinton, but… his overall spirit and temperament are very different from his. Moreover, I don’t think Professor Swinton would become a henchman of a bad organization. I really can’t imagine such a thing happening.”

"Is it just that they look alike?" Hermione suggested.

“I hope so…” Qin Yu looked at the moving magical photo again and said in a low voice, “There are some features on his face that match Swinton’s, such as certain scars, moles and eyebrows. I may not have noticed these when I first saw it, I just thought it looked similar, but now the more I look at it, the more I can find these details.”

"Then him...?" Hermione didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence, or perhaps my memory of his appearance isn't accurate... I'm not entirely sure, because it's far beyond my comprehension. His actions are completely unlike the Swinton I know; perhaps they are two completely different people..."

Moreover, after a year of getting to know each other, Qin Yu truly trusted Swinton's character. He didn't think the other party would become a gangster or a magic thug. Besides, they had received letters from him, and the letters didn't mention that he had joined the underworld.

In short, Qin Yu was somewhat confused.

His first thought was to ask Snape, who was also very concerned about Swinton.

However, Professor Snape did not stay at Hogwarts after the holidays, but went back to his hometown. Qin Yu forgot to ask for his specific address, so he could not contact him immediately.

We'll have to wait until school starts to discuss it.

Thinking of Snape, Qin Yu inevitably thought of the identity of this spy within a spy.

Then another possibility came to mind: Could it be that Swinton was also tasked with a glorious yet arduous undercover mission assigned to him by the organization?

But what are you, a native European wizard, doing getting involved in the North American magical politics?

If that's the case, then Dumbledore is probably the one who should be asking; the others aren't at that level.

Could it be that Dumbledore has already made his moves in North America? If so, then you've really stretched your reach quite far, old Dumbledore!

In short, everything will have to wait until I get back to school. Right now, I'm in London, and it's inconvenient for me to contact anyone.

Thinking about this, Qin Yu was no longer in such a hurry. After all, he had done all he could, and there was nothing more he could do.

Once a person understands this, they will feel more relaxed.

When he came to his senses again, he found Hermione scooping up ice cream spoonful by spoonful, thoroughly enjoying it. However, perhaps because of the cold, she couldn't help but shiver amidst her enjoyment.

Seeing him looking over, Hermione quickly finished the spoonful she was eating and licked it clean, then scooped out a large spoonful and put it to Qin Yu's mouth.

"Huh~"

Qin Yu immediately stepped back, adopting the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, expressing his disgust at this unhygienic behavior.

The little witch, however, wouldn't let it go. She glared at him and pushed the scoop of ice cream forward again, determined not to give up until Qin Yu ate it.

Okay, okay, it's just eating this girl's saliva, it's not a big deal.

Qin Yu shrugged, opened his blood-red mouth, and swallowed the food the little witch had brought him.

Seeing that he had finished the spoonful of food, Hermione hummed softly in a cheerful mood before explaining, "It's not like I was deliberately being unhygienic. It's just that the ice cream shop clerk only gave me one spoon."

Well, so that's why your business is so bad!

Qin Yu mentally complained about the shop assistant, then opened his mouth to indicate that he hadn't had enough and wanted more.

Hermione continued digging, shaking her head and sighing inwardly. She was already used to someone's hypocritical behavior.

Putting aside the newspaper and Swinton's matter, the two finished their ice cream and continued reading.

Qin Yu's book on meditation was so eclectic that it contained almost nothing of value, and he spent a long time flipping through it without finding anything useful.

The book Hermione was reading, titled something like "The Hidden History of Magic You Don't Know," wasn't exactly a traditional work on the history of magic; it was more like a collection of folk magic stories.

Well, in Qin Yu's understanding, it's similar to the story collections he read in his previous life.

However, Hermione came across an interesting story that bore some resemblance to, or rather, offered some inspiration for, their current predicament, so she excitedly shared it with Qin Yu.
