Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

"Snape didn't give you any trouble, did he, little brother?" Professor Swinton said, patting Qin Yu on the shoulder.

"Pfft!" Qin Yu's chest tightened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, he had just walked out of the Potions classroom and encountered Professor Swinton on the road.

"Professor, can we forget about what happened that day?!" Qin Yu said with a bitter face.

Thinking back to that day, it was actually quite embarrassing.

Of course, it's not to say that he wasn't sincere at the time (at least 50% sincere, 50% out of his mind), but the age gap between him and the two professors was quite large, and he was somewhat disrespectful to them.

Who knew that although Professor Snape chose to "forget" and conveyed this strong signal through the Potions exam questions, Professor Swinton had no intention of forgetting.

“I think your idea that day was pretty good. Now I have a younger brother and an older brother,” Professor Swinton said with great interest.

"Heh, even if I think what you said makes sense, you should also consider Professor Snape. Look at how he usually is—" Qin Yu said this with a solemn expression and a long face, performing a Snape-style cold face.

"Hahaha, you imitated it so well!" Professor Swinton laughed until he cried.

"Sigh, I'm not trying to make you happy, I just want you to think about my situation! You're leaving, but I still have to stay here for six years! I don't want to die young before I even graduate," Qin Yu said helplessly.

“Alright, I understand how you feel. I actually don’t dare mention what happened that day in front of Snape either,” Professor Swinton said seriously.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand." Qin Yu was finally relieved.

“However, when the two of us are together, we don’t need to worry about these things at all, right, my dear brother!” Professor Swinton patted Qin Yu on the shoulder again.

"..." Qin Yu.

It seems Professor Swinton intends to remember this for the rest of his life.

Thinking about this, Qin Yu's mentality began to crumble.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that I brought this upon myself. I had to be so cheeky as to say that the three swords were destined to meet. It was like I was possessed by a brainless online novelist. Oh well, I can't blame anyone else.

Once a person accepts their fate, the road ahead widens.

"Let him be. So what if he's another person calling me 'brother'?" Qin Yu thought to himself.

Looking into Professor Swinton's smiling eyes, Qin Yu inexplicably recalled the hidden melancholy he had once seen in his eyes.

We don't know what kind of story this man, who is a teacher, friend, and brother, has.

"Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you, but I haven't prepared it yet. I'll probably give it to you after the year-end banquet," Professor Swinton suddenly said.

"Huh? If you weren't prepared, why did you tell me in advance?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Of course, I want you to prepare a gift for me in advance!" Professor Swinton said irritably.

"...Sorry, I was too slow to react," Qin Yu said, forcing a smile.

“It’s alright, Snape is the same as you,” Professor Swinton said with a shrug.

"..." Qin Yu was speechless and silently gave a thumbs up.

……

The matter of sworn brotherhood was temporarily put to rest after Professor Snape's "forgetting" and Professor Swinton's "calm acceptance."

Well, actually, whenever Qin Yu thinks about this, he has an urge to find a time converter, go back in time, and strangle himself.

However, in one's life, there are bound to be one, two, three, or four embarrassing things that, when you think about them, can fill a secret room. One more of these won't make a difference... right?

Just stop thinking about it, let it go, and you'll feel better.

In short, this incident made Qin Yu think a lot about the philosophy of life and how to face the various obstacles in life.

The history of magic exam was tedious and boring. While thinking about random things, Qin Yu used the quill pen, which was enchanted with an anti-cheating spell, to write long sentences on the exam paper in order to clearly explain the ins and outs of certain events from hundreds of years ago and their impact on the magical world.

What he didn't understand was why questions like "Who invented the automatic heating crucible?" would appear in an exam.

Finally, when Professor Binns announced the end of the exam, the students erupted in cheers—probably his most popular moment of the year.

After the exam for this course is over, the students have a week to themselves. Then, after the results are released and the year-end banquet is held, the holiday officially begins.

……

While waiting for his exam results, Qin Yu didn't stay idle. Instead, he stayed at Hagrid's Hut, working on a gift for Professor Swinton.

He put a lot of thought into making this gift.

First, he mixed the golden baby unicorn hair and white adult unicorn hair he had collected with several other commonly used magical animal hairs, twisted them into a tough, specially made yarn, and then used this specially made yarn to weave a scarf.

Yes, giving a scarf is a common and popular choice at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The one he made is quite special.

"It's a bit ugly, but it's tough enough!" Hagrid tugged at the mottled scarf and gave this assessment.

"I'd like to knit a pure white or pure gold one, but that would probably require plucking all of Kelly and Anna's manes," Qin Yu said, rolling his eyes.

However, scarves infused with unicorn hair are quite valuable and presentable.

“Yes, that’s true,” Hagrid nodded.

Then, Qin Yu found a piece of kraft paper, wrapped the scarf around it, and tied it with a rope, intending to give it to Professor Swinton when he gave him a gift.

……

After finishing the gift, Qin Yu had a few days of free time left. With nothing else to do, he took his wand, picked up his sword, and eagerly entered an abandoned women's restroom on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Then, not long after he went in, he came out with a bruised and swollen face.

This continued for several days in a row.

This made George and Fred curious when they saw him, asking if he had also gone to the Willow to relieve his boredom.

What a load of nonsense!

Qin Yu ignored the two bored children and had Hagrid find a bottle of eight-eyed giant spider venom, which he then applied to the sword according to the method taught by Professor Swinton.

—They didn't have much of their eight-eyed giant spider venom left, so Qin Yu decided not to sell any more and to keep it for himself.

Once he was ready, Qin Yu went to the women's restroom again.

"Qin, you're here again! Can't you talk to me for a bit?" Myrtle said plaintively.

After Qin Yu visited a few times, the ghost that frequented the women's restroom had long since recognized him.

"Next time, I'm in a hurry." Qin Yu stretched his joints and then jumped down from a certain spot.

"Wow, what a handsome guy! His physique is absolutely perfect!" Myrtle exclaimed in admiration as she floated in mid-air.
