Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

When Hermione learned that Qin Yu was going to Hogwarts early, she was incredibly envious. She kept saying:

"Qin, why can you go now while I have to wait?"

Qin Yu shrugged and said, "As you can see, if I don't unleash my magic soon, I'm afraid I'll cause a huge disaster, and I might end up in Azkaban!"

Hermione was terrified upon hearing this. She had read many books about the magical world and had heard of Azkaban.

Azkaban is a legendary and terrifying place, said to be guarded by a horrific monster that devours positive human emotions, causing people to lose their beautiful feelings and strong beliefs, and thus die in despair amidst dark and horrifying memories.

Although Hermione really wanted to go to Hogwarts sooner, she now hoped that Qin Yu could go even sooner, as she didn't want to lose her best friend so far.

"And most importantly, I'm already eleven years old this year," Qin Yu said with a shrug.

According to the results of Dumbledore's age-detecting spell, Qin Yu's body is indeed eleven years old, fully meeting the Hogwarts admission requirements.

"Sigh, well, it's my fault for not having my birthday 18 days earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait another year," Hermione said, pouting.

Seeing Hermione's disappointed look, Qin Yu comforted her, "The magical world isn't as wonderful as you imagine. There will be many dangers. I'll scout ahead for you first. When you come, I hope you can simply learn magic!"

Qin Yu knew that ideals were lofty, but reality was not necessarily like that. Too many things had happened to Harry and his friends in seven years, and there were some things he couldn't help with. After all, he was just an "11-year-old" child, and even now he didn't know a proper spell, only the magic rampage move.

Of course, he couldn't be completely clueless forever. He only hoped that with him at Hogwarts, as few people as possible would die, at least avoiding tragedies like forgetting to take your wand when opening a door for a stranger, or any other avoidable sacrifices.

At this time, Hermione was full of fantasies about magic school. She couldn't understand the meaning behind Qin Yu's words, but she was happy that someone could accompany her and talk about secrets that only the two of them knew.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, the little girl felt much better. She held Qin Yu's hand and said somewhat reluctantly, "Then you go first, I'll wait for you here. You must write to me often, and tell me more about what happens at Hogwarts..."

"Write letters? Uh, okay, I'll write to you often."

For Qin Yu, who lives in the age of advanced internet, writing letters is really too ancient.

However, it seems that this is the only way for now, since Muggle technology is still developing and it will be nearly twenty years before the smartphone era that he is familiar with arrives.

"Then let me tell you what I know about the magical world, so you can have a general understanding before you go there."

So, Hermione became the class representative and introduced Qin Yu to what she knew about the magical world, mostly common knowledge.

In his previous life, Qin Yu had only watched the movie a few times with his friends, so he didn't know much about the details of the novel or the background of the magic school. Hermione's explanation today was a good introduction to some of the details, giving him a better understanding.

……

For a while afterward, Qin Yu often stood by the second-floor window and looked out, wondering who would take him to Hogwarts School.

He was feeling both excited and nervous. It was a school that so many Harry Potter fans longed for, a life he had never experienced before, and he had no idea what kind of experiences he would have!

A month passed just like that!

On a very ordinary morning, the Granger family and Qin Yu were having breakfast at the table, discussing the interesting things that had happened recently. Little Hermione was giggling and claimed all the fried eggs that Qin Yu had made for herself, because she had recently come to like this kind of fried egg because it was cooked just right.

Knock, knock, knock. Hearing the knocking, Hermione was the first to get up and rush to open the door, because she, like Qin Yu, was waiting for this day. Although she wasn't the one going to school, she seemed even more excited than Qin Yu.

“Wow, you’re so tall…” Hermione exclaimed, craning her neck.

Outside the door stood a giant with a thick beard, over three meters tall.

The giant's voice was muffled as he said, "Young lady, I am Hagrid of Hogwarts. Is this Qin Yu's residence?"

"Hello Mr. Hagrid, my name is Hermione. This is indeed Qin Yu's residence. Please come in." Little Hermione said politely.

"Thank you!"

Hagrid carefully walked in, bending over, but even so, his head still bumped into the Granger's door frame with a thud.

"If you have a fireplace here, I suggest adding a Floo Network. That way you can use Floo Powder. A spoonful of Floo Powder only costs 2 shico, it's really convenient," the giant muttered ramblingly. (Note: The Floo Network is a teleportation network in the wizarding world, similar to a portal. The main connecting node is the fireplace, and Floo Powder is the casting material.)

Qin Yu recognized him at a glance; this was Hagrid, who had always guarded the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School and was one of Dumbledore's most trusted men.

Hagrid walked in and looked at the several people in the room who were much younger than him, and asked, "Who is Qin Yu?"

Hermione pointed enthusiastically in Qin Yu's direction and said, "That's him!"

Hagrid looked over, grabbed Qin Yu and lifted him up, saying in a simple and honest way, "I heard you're really good, but you're still so young!"

Qin Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you that if I feel unwell, something bad might happen? You'd better put me down quickly!"

Hagrid realized he had been somewhat rude, and after putting Qin Yu down, he said nervously, "I'm sorry, I was a bit too impulsive!"

He bent down to look at the boy in front of him and then said, "You should have guessed why I'm here, right?"

Qin Yu nodded and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time! Professor Dumbledore said someone would come to pick me up, but I didn't expect it to be you."

“I happened to be out running some errands, so he arranged for me to pick you up,” Hagrid explained.

……

After a brief exchange, Hagrid said, "Alright, let's hurry up and get back within the allotted time. Little boy, don't worry too much about home; you'll be back soon!"

Qin Yu hugged and said goodbye to the Granger family one by one. Hermione's eyes were already red. She couldn't help but cry at Qin Yu's departure.

"Qin, will you write to me?" the little girl asked again.

"Of course I will. I promised you I would tell you about what happened at Hogwarts. You also need to remember to write back to me, otherwise I will miss you a lot," Qin Yu reassured the little girl.

"I will definitely write back to you, and I will miss you too." Hermione hugged Qin Yu again.

Mr. Granger looked at his daughter, patted her head and comforted her, "Don't be sad, time flies, you'll be able to go to that school this time next year."

"Well, Qin, you'd better study hard, don't let your junior surpass you!" Hermione said to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled at the little girl's words of advice.

And so, under the watchful eyes of Hermione and the Grangers, Qin Yu, carrying the luggage that Mrs. Granger had packed for him, left with Hagrid.

In fact, before leaving, Mr. Granger called Qin Yu to his study alone.

Mr. Granger said to him, "You've lived with us all this time. Although you can't find your family right now, we'll always be there for you as you grow up. Just let us know if you need anything. You're going to magic school soon, so you'll definitely need to buy a lot of things..."

After saying this, Mr. Granger handed him an envelope, and Qin Yu could tell from the touch that it contained a considerable amount of banknotes.

Qin Yu initially wanted to say that he had money of his own. However, upon further reflection, he realized that it would be difficult to explain the origin of his thousand Galleons.

So he accepted Mr. Granger's kindness and earnestly said to him, "I will definitely repay you."
