Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

"Qin, I heard from Charlie that you might be able to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" George asked with envy.

“Charlie raved about your flying skills, saying that the two of us are nowhere near as good as you,” Fred said, sounding rather frustrated.

At this moment, they came out of Hagrid's Hut and were walking towards Hogwarts Castle.

The Weasley twins had always considered themselves outstanding among their peers. However, after meeting Qin Yu, a boy a year younger than them, they felt that they were completely outmatched in terms of intelligence, emotional intelligence, and magical talent. Of course, most importantly, their business acumen, which they were so proud of, seemed quite naive in front of Qin Yu.

Now that they hear Qin Yu is going to join their dream Quidditch team, how could they not feel envious and frustrated?

However, they had long since given up on Qin Yu; otherwise, they wouldn't have remained so calm when they saw Kelly and Anna being so affectionate with him.

“Charlie did tell me about this, but Professor McGonagall felt we shouldn’t be too hasty. She wants me to participate in the Quidditch team selection this time, and only if I pass will I be allowed to join,” Qin Yu said to the two brothers.

"Huh? You're also participating in the team selection?" George asked in surprise.

"This is exactly what happened, we've run into each other..." Fred suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Just give it your all. I believe you can do it," Qin Yu encouraged.

"Okay, even though I know there's a gap between us, we can't back down now," George encouraged himself.

"Well, there are quite a few spots this time, so we're not without a chance!" Fred regained some confidence.

"Good luck, then!" Qin Yu said to the two of them.

"Okay, keep it up!" the two brothers said in unison.

The three of them talked and soon walked through the gates of Hogwarts.

Qin Yu said goodbye to George and Fred. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, he went straight to the main building to find Professor Swinton.

……

When Qin Yu knocked on the door of Professor Swinton's office and went inside, he saw a black cabinet placed on the floor of the office.

The moment Qin Yu saw the cabinet, he guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, Professor Swinton smiled and said, "Today's training program is to face your fears. I originally planned to show you some scary images, but you're different from the other children. You don't seem to be afraid of those things, so I found this, Boggart!"

As Swinton said this, he pointed to the black cabinet.

"Boggart?" Qin Yu asked, feigning ignorance.

“That’s right, it’s a magical creature that can shapeshift. It can see into your inner fears and transform into what you fear most. The way to deal with a Boggart is simple: use the Boggart banishing charm ‘Riddikulus’ to transform it into what you find most ridiculous. That way, what you fear becomes laughable,” Professor Swinton explained.

Qin Yu actually knew something about this, but he had never cast the "Humorous Humorous" spell before, and he didn't know what his greatest fear was.

This still made him somewhat uneasy.

Seeing his reaction, Professor Swinton finally felt a sense of accomplishment.

"That's right, this child has finally managed to scare me," Professor Swinton thought to himself.

"Alright, now I'll teach you how to cast the 'Funny Funny' spell!"

After saying this, Professor Swinton gave Qin Yu a detailed explanation of the pronunciation of the spell, the waving of the wand, and the timing.

It must be said that Qin Yu is quite talented in magic. Whether he was originally like this or was blessed by the power of the Obscurial, he learned the spell very quickly. It only took him less than five minutes to be able to cast the spell proficiently.

This made Professor Swinton sigh once again, remarking that Qin Yu was truly a worry-free person.

"Next, it's time to face the Boggart! Remember, the more you fear it, the stronger it becomes. You need to calm down and not let fear control your emotions. Try to find a way to make it ridiculous!" Professor Swinton walked to the cabinet and solemnly reminded him.

“Okay, I understand, Professor Swinton!” Qin Yu nodded and said.

Actually, he was also a little curious about what he was most afraid of.

"Then, let's begin..."

After saying this, Professor Swinton waved his wand and opened the cabinet door.

As the cabinet door opened, an inexplicable and strange feeling arose in Qin Yu's heart, making him very uncomfortable.

Then, a dark figure jumped out of the cabinet. After twisting in the air, the figure turned into something and landed on the ground.

Qin Yu was stunned when he saw that thing.

It was an extremely familiar desk, with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor on it, along with a familiar mug and cactus. On the monitor, an unfinished PowerPoint presentation was open.

The first slide of the PPT has the words "Weekly Summary Report" written in large characters.

Looking at all this familiar surroundings, Qin Yu felt as if he were being pulled towards his workstation by an invisible force, and he could almost hear his boss urging him on...

Was it all just a dream? Am I still the same overworked office worker, with no magical world and no Hermione...?

Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt as if something was stuck in his heart, which made him irritable and even his breathing became heavy.

"Qin!" Professor Swinton's voice suddenly rang out.

Qin Yu was startled and instinctively used the technique of "meditation" to quickly calm his mind. Then, he waved his wand and chanted the incantation:

"Hilarious! (Riddikulus)!"

As he finished chanting the spell, the wand pointed at the desk, which instantly twisted and, with a "bang," the objects recombine to form the shape of a large pug, with the monitor serving as the pug's head.

Looking at the pug made of a table and monitor wagging its tail, Qin Yu exhaled a breath of stale air and revealed a smile.

"Hmm, a good idea!" Professor Swinton praised.

Then, Boggart disappeared, and the cabinet door closed again.

"You performed very well this time. You were able to adjust your mindset in time and respond quickly, which proves that you have a certain degree of control over your emotions!" Professor Swinton concluded.

"Thank you, Professor Swinton! If you hadn't reminded me, I might not have been able to get over my fear for a while," Qin Yu said sincerely.

"You don't need to belittle yourself. Many people are momentarily stunned when they first face their fear. Your performance is normal. Moreover, I believe that even without my prompting, you would have calmed down quickly."

Boggart's trial was relatively successful. At least it successfully made Qin Yu feel fear, and he did not lose control of his emotions when facing fear, thus failing to summon the power of the Obscurus. This is a good sign and has achieved Professor Swinton's training objective for today.

After Qin Yu's emotions had completely calmed down, Professor Swinton arranged for him to do several more trials. Later on, Qin Yu no longer hesitated and directly turned Boggart into all sorts of comical things.

……

"Alright, you can go back now."

Goodbye, Professor Swinton!

Goodbye, Qin!

After the morning's trial was completed, Professor Swinton told Qin Yu to go back.

After Qin Yu left, standing in the quiet office, Swinton thought about what Qin Yu was afraid of, his eyes shifting with emotions, and finally he murmured meaningfully, "What a special child."

Then, he waved his wand and opened the cabinet that had Boggart locked up.

Boggart quickly transformed, landing on the ground and becoming a statue.

The statue depicts a tall man in a robe, holding a round shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right.

The man stood tall, his gaze resolute.

Swinton frowned as he looked at the statue.

"Hilarious! (Riddikulus)!"

As the wand was waved, the statue's face was immediately painted with paint, turning it into a red-nosed clown.

Soon, the comical clown disappeared and returned to the cabinet.
