Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Qin Yu really liked autumn at Hogwarts.

The weather has just turned cool, and the crisp autumn air is very pleasant.

As for that shiver just now, it was probably because I wasn't wearing enough clothes.

Stepping out of the Potions classroom on the basement level and onto the ground, he breathed in the cool, fresh air, instantly feeling his heavy lungs become clean and refreshed.

The autumn breeze seemed to carry the fresh scent of fallen leaves from the distant forbidden forest, a fragrance that evoked images of a cute little golden unicorn frolicking freely in nature…

"Snapped!"

Qin Yu, who was enjoying the beauty of the seasons at Hogwarts, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by something.

This infuriated him.

He turned around angrily, and then saw Professor Snape's perpetually icy face. Snape was slowly putting away a book in his hand, which was clearly the weapon that had just attacked Qin Yu.

"Don't waste time here, go have lunch."

After saying this, Professor Snape walked away, leaving Qin Yu with a solitary figure on a cold river.

"Okay..." Qin Yu rolled his eyes and said.

Snape wasn't just bored and concerned about Qin Yu's diet; he had recently been giving Qin Yu extra help, personally "tutoring him."

Yes, it's a story from after school. (.avi)

Well, it's best not to desecrate the holy Professor Snape. Qin Yu silently criticized his own wildly imaginative ideas.

Upon arriving at the auditorium, Qin Yu quickly began to eat.

After eating a chicken leg, two slices of oat bread, and drinking a large bowl of vegetable soup, he wiped his mouth and left, heading to the eighth floor of the main building of Hogwarts.

That's right, he was going to the House of Requirement.

Not long after he arrived at the corridor, Professor Snape, with his long, flowing black hair and wearing a black robe, slowly walked over.

"Professor Snape, I have a question that I really can't help but ask you..." Qin Yu said with a somewhat conflicted expression as he saw Snape approaching.

“Then ask,” Professor Snape said calmly.

"Did you arrive a while ago and then hide, waiting for me to arrive before showing up?" Qin Yu asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

He suspected that Old Strange had hidden himself because he couldn't find the entrance to the Room of Requirement, but didn't want to wait for him in the hallway (because that would look silly).

This behavior is undeniably childish, Qin Yu thought to himself.

Little did they know, the person who could ask such a pointless question was probably no better.

"..."

Snape froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "We'll have a sparring session later, and I'll test your learning progress."

"Huh? No, Professor Snape, isn't this decision a bit hasty? I've only been learning from you for two days!" Qin Yu was now anxious.

This is a genius wizard in black magic and potion-making. He was able to create many awesome spells while he was still in school. His talent is definitely top-notch in the magic world.

If I spar with him by myself, won't I just get beaten up?

Anyone would feel uneasy in this situation.

"Practice makes perfect." Snape walked towards the door that had just appeared without looking back.

"Let's discuss it again, Professor Snape. I'm still a child! How about we wait a couple of days?" Qin Yu quickly caught up and pleaded.

"Stop your pathetic acting. I'll be careful. You won't die," Snape said coldly.

Snape was filled with sarcasm at Qin Yu's self-proclaimed status as a child. If all children were like him, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"Um, I'm afraid of pain, could you please be gentler later..." Faced with the stubborn Snape, Qin Yu could only say with a bitter face.

"I'll try," Snape said casually.

It's not reassuring at all.

"Sigh, why did I have to be so stupid as to ask that question?" Qin Yu sighed inwardly.

……

According to Dumbledore's plan for Qin Yu, he would focus on two aspects of training: one was the control of emotions, and the other was the response to unexpected situations.

Emotional control is easy to understand, because the loss of control of the mascot stems from the loss of control of its host's emotions, especially the loss of control of the host's negative emotions.

As for unexpected situations, looking at Qin Yu's several instances of losing control of the Obscurus power, they were all due to unexpected situations. If he could handle these unexpected situations on his own, would he still need the Obscurus?

These two ideas hit the nail on the head, and Qin Yu was quite impressed with Lao Deng's insight.

In terms of specific implementation, Professor Stephen Swinton trained Qin Yu in emotional control, while Professor Severus Snape was responsible for handling unexpected situations.

Since Snape mainly taught Qin Yu defensive and offensive spells, which might be somewhat destructive and make a lot of noise, Qin Yu suggested that they go to the Room of Requirement, because the Room of Requirement was spacious enough, secluded enough, and soundproof.

"Hmph, you think you can find the Room of Requirement?" Snape scoffed dismissively.

Then, Qin Yu actually led him to the door of the Room of Requirement, which left Snape speechless. He thought to himself that this kid was really lucky.

Today marks the third day that Professor Snape has been training Qin Yu in the Room of Requirement.

"Today we'll practice nothing but the 'Expelliarmus' spell!" Professor Snape declared the rules of the battle.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Okay, Professor, I understand."

It's just a "dispel weapon" spell, not some powerful attack, so it shouldn't kill anyone.

Without a word, Snape strode to the center of the arena, and Qin Yu quickly followed with his silver-gray wand.

Then, Snape straightened up and raised his wand in front of him, and Qin Yu followed suit, bowing slightly.

Then, the two turned around, walked to opposite ends of the field with their backs to each other, stopped at the edge of the field, and turned around again to stand face to face.

After the dueling ceremony was completed, Snape looked at Qin Yu with a solemn expression.

Judging from this, they're serious. Qin Yu unconsciously began to take it seriously and respond diligently.

"Expelliarmus!" "Expe..."

The two spoke almost simultaneously. However, Qin Yu had only recited half of the spell and had just raised his wand when he felt an invisible force forcefully pull the hand holding the wand away.

With a clang, his silver-gray wand fell to the ground.

"You timed it well, but your spell usage isn't quite there yet, and you haven't developed hand-eye coordination with the wand. I'll give you 30 points for this," Professor Snape commented, then said loudly to Qin Yu, "Pick it up, and try again!"

Qin Yu did as instructed, bent down to pick up the wand, and after briefly flexing his wrist, continued his confrontation with Snape.

This time, he first silently recited the spell to remove your weapon several times, and only when he had practiced it enough did he look for an opportunity to strike.

"Expelliarmus!" "Expelliarmus!"

This time, Qin Yu successfully recited the complete spell and swung his wand, even half a second earlier than Snape. However, Snape still managed to knock the wand away from him.

"Spells require precise guidance. The more critical the moment, the calmer you need to be. You acted hastily and missed your target. Such a spell is just a waste of effort. 40 points!" Snape commented slowly and deliberately, then continued, "Pick it up and try again!"

Qin Yu picked up the wand again and began to move erratically around the area.

Since accuracy is so important, he made it so that Snape wouldn't be able to aim so easily.

"Expelliarmus!"

Snape immediately cast an Expelliarmus spell, knocking Qin Yu's wand away, and mocked, "Foolish! Did you think your enemy would give you that much time? 50 points!"

"He clearly called me stupid, so why did my score increase?" Qin Yu muttered to himself as he picked up his magic wand.

Without giving him a chance to think further, Qin Yu quickly entered a fighting stance as soon as he picked up his wand again, ready to cast a spell at any moment...

Over the next half hour, Qin Yu confronted Snape no less than fifty times, but each time ended with Qin Yu having his wand knocked away.

This frustrated him greatly; he could even feel the unicorn hair in his wand emitting a pitiful wail.

However, Qin Yu also learned from his failures and improved his offensive strategies. He even almost hit Snape's hand once, but at the critical moment, Snape made a very tricky and strange hand movement and successfully avoided the attack.

However, as the sparring continued, Qin Yu was exhausted, while Snape didn't even pant and seemed completely unfazed, making Qin Yu's strategy of "wearing out his opponent" unsustainable.

On the contrary, he figured that if he continued, he would be the first to collapse from exhaustion. After all, constantly moving around the field and keeping an eye on his opponent's every move was incredibly physically and mentally draining, and he felt like his hands were about to swell from being slapped.

"Expelliarmus!" "Expelliarmus!"

They attacked simultaneously again, but Qin Yu's wand was still knocked away.

When he was hit, he was so exhausted that he staggered and bumped into a table next to him.

“A wizard’s body is an important asset; you must learn how to improve your physical condition. 59 points!” Snape said.

Before Snape could speak, Qin Yu picked up the wand.

This time, he walked around the field while adjusting his breathing to allow his body to recover quickly.

When he walked halfway across the arena and returned to where Snape had originally been, he had regained his composure. At least the hand holding the wand was much more stable and no longer trembling.

Just then, he noticed that Snape's eyes were looking at a certain spot on the ground.

How could Qin Yu let such a golden opportunity slip by?

He decisively raised his wand and shouted, "Expelliarmus!"

“Ex…”

Snape had barely uttered the first words when a flash of white light struck his right hand precisely.

Clang!

His wand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Holy crap! I finally won?!" Qin Yu exclaimed in disbelief.

"Precise timing, decisive action, and skillful use of spells—full marks!" Snape said calmly.

"Hehe, Professor Snape, am I progressing quickly? Don't you have a sense of crisis that 'teaching students will starve the teacher'?" Qin Yu said energetically.

There's no way around it, that's Snape! Shooting down his wand once is something you can brag about for a lifetime!

However, compared to Qin Yu's elation, Snape's expression seemed somewhat dejected.

Qin Yu saw his tall figure bend down, and to Qin Yu's surprise, he didn't immediately pick up the wand that had fallen to the ground. Instead, he picked up a card lying on the ground and stuffed it into a book that had also fallen to the ground.

The book and the card were originally placed on a table next to it. Qin Yu lost his balance and bumped into it, causing the book to fall off the table and a card to fall out.

Qin Yu had certainly seen this card before; it was the bookmark that Old Si had made in class, the one that sealed the lily.

"Professor Snape, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Qin Yu said quickly.

“You did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you were commendable for exploiting the enemy’s weaknesses and launching a decisive attack,” Snape said slowly, closing the book.

What Qin Yu actually wanted to say was that he was really sorry for knocking over your lilies (Lily).

However, this was a bit too forward for someone he barely knew. If he said it, he might even be killed by the depressed Old Si. Qin Yu didn't dare to provoke this guy at this time, so he wisely chose to remain silent.

……

"I heard you knocked Severus's wand away? Tsk, you're quite the young man!" Professor Swinton said with a hint of schadenfreude during the evening tutoring session.

"Heh, lucky, lucky. Professor Snape was distracted by something, which is why I knocked his wand away." Qin Yu didn't dare to think he was really that awesome.

"Haha, you're such a humble child, not bad," Professor Swinton said with a smile.

Qin Yu had no intention of telling Professor Swinton about Snape's secret; he simply left it at that.

After finishing the small talk, Professor Swinton began to teach Qin Yu about emotional control.

The method he taught was "the art of meditation".

"Follow my instructions, sit cross-legged, meditate, and relax your mind... Don't deliberately listen, look, or think, nor deliberately avoid listening, looking, or thinking... Let your mind enter a state between movement and stillness... Don't deliberately move, nor deliberately remain still..."

Professor Swinton, whose meditation skills he seemed to have learned from somewhere, spoke in a convoluted manner, but his voice seemed to have a kind of magic, guiding Qin Yu to gradually sink into his mind and enter that so-called "state between movement and stillness".

It's a strange feeling, like you're sleeping, but also like you're awake.

It was in this feeling that Qin Yu gradually came to understand the mysteries of the spiritual world.

When he awoke from this meditative state, he found that his spirit seemed much stronger, and even the fatigue he had felt from fighting Snape during the day had completely disappeared.

This made Qin Yu look at Professor Swinton with new respect, and he thought to himself, "Hogwarts is indeed a place where hidden talents reside."
