Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Hagrid is missing!

This discovery left Qin Yu feeling helpless, so he had no choice but to give up on going to the wand shop and start looking for this guy everywhere.

After searching for a while, he finally saw a group of people gathered in front of a bar, and from a distance, Qin Yu could see Hagrid, who was much taller than the others.

Qin Yu quickly went over, pushed through the crowd, and came to Hagrid's side.

“Five hundred Galleons is far too much. I don’t have that much money right now. Could you wait until I go and raise the money before I come back to buy it?” Hagrid said pleadingly to a thin man across from him.

Next to the man was a large dog with three heads, chained up.

Cerberus!

Well, when Qin Yu saw the three-headed dog, he immediately understood what was going on.

Hagrid must have gotten into his animal-keeping addiction again.

However, looking at that three-headed dog, Qin Yu had to admit that even he would have the urge to buy it.

How impressive it would be to take this out like that! Then we'd see who dares to mess with me!

However, it is clear that this deal will not be easy to close.

“Sorry, big guy, I can’t guarantee I’ll be back by then. After all, this stuff is in high demand,” the skinny man said slowly.

"What should I do? I really want it, but I don't have that much money with me right now!" Hagrid said with a troubled look, while gazing longingly at the three-headed dog.

Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but rub his forehead in exasperation. He mentally cursed, "Hagrid, even if you want it, don't make it so obvious! Aren't you just asking to be ripped off?"

Seeing that Hagrid didn't speak, the man continued, "How about this, do you have anything valuable on you? Let me see it. If it's worth five hundred Galleons, I'll sell you this three-headed dog."

Hagrid was delighted upon hearing this and was about to take something out when a small hand patted his hand.

"Huh? Qin?" Hagrid looked at Qin Yu with some surprise.

So you only just noticed me now? Qin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Hagrid, wait a moment," Qin Yu whispered to him.

"Oh, okay." Hagrid nodded subconsciously.

He thought the little guy seemed quite clever, and that making him wait now must have a deeper meaning.

Qin Yu then turned to the thin man and asked, "Boss, what breed is your three-headed dog?"

"Of course it's a purebred Greek Cerberus. I bought it from a Greek at a high price," the skinny man said arrogantly, raising his chin.

"Hagrid, is that so?" Qin Yu turned to Hagrid.

"It does have very obvious Greek Cerberus blood, but one of its heads has some Scandinavian features. To say it's purebred is debatable." Hagrid is quite knowledgeable when talking about magical creatures.

"You're talking nonsense! I'm not selling to you now! Go away! Don't block my business!" the thin man said angrily.

Hagrid was now in a hurry; even if it wasn't a purebred Greek Cerberus, he really wanted one.

In his haste, he turned his anxious gaze toward Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled and said calmly, "Sir, if you think we're talking nonsense, then you're underestimating the gentleman beside me."

As he said this, he raised his hand to introduce Hagrid: "This gentleman is a teacher from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who has a deep understanding of magical creatures. Do you think he would talk nonsense?"

Qin Yu was telling the truth. As a guard of the hunting grounds and a protector of the Forbidden Forest, he could certainly be considered a teacher at Hogwarts. As for his profound knowledge of magical creatures, that statement was even more accurate.

The thin man was taken aback, looking somewhat embarrassed under everyone's gaze. However, he quickly retorted, "You said he's a teacher at Hogwarts, is that him?"

"If you want to verify this, you can write to Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts," Qin Yu said, revealing an innocent smile.

Seeing his confident demeanor, the thin man believed him.

“I don’t care if he is or not, I’m going to sell it for 500 Galleons today. Who says I can’t sell it for 500 Galleons just because I’m not a purebred Greek Cerberus?” The skinny man decided to act tough.

He was certain that Hagrid wanted to buy the dog, and was clearly trying to raise the price.

Qin Yu stopped Hagrid from speaking and said with a smile, "Sir, as you can see, we really want to buy your Cerberus."

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, his face showing an arrogant expression.

"But besides us, who else around would be willing to buy this big guy like you?" Qin Yu said calmly.

That's right, the most important condition for owning a Cerberus is having a large space in your home.

This is also why many people can't buy it even if they want to.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers all laughed. They had indeed only come to watch the spectacle and had no intention of buying anything.

"So what? I can always wait for the next person willing to buy..." The thin man's momentum clearly weakened.

"The next person? Who knows when that will be? I don't know if you have enough money to last until then," Qin Yu said slowly, his smile fading.

"Hmph, I have plenty of money!" the thin man said, trying to appear calm.

"Oh, really? If you have money, why are you feeding this three-headed dog potatoes? Look how thin they've become," Qin Yu said, pointing at the three-headed dog.

With three heads and three mouths, the food consumption is astonishing. This person can't even afford meat anymore; if they continue to raise them, they'll only eat themselves out of poverty.

Qin Yu actually wanted to say that even you are so thin that you look like you haven't showered in half a year. You don't look like someone with a lot of money. However, there was no need to expose your shortcomings at this time.

The man clearly understood the subtext in Qin Yu's words, and his face immediately turned red.

"I don't need your help! I'll sell it for five hundred Galleons!" the thin man reiterated his price.

However, this time anyone could see that he had lost much of his confidence. Oh, except for Hagrid, of course; all he cared about now were those three dogs.

“Alright, then there’s no room for discussion. Hagrid, let’s go. If we delay any longer, Professor Dumbledore will get angry.” Qin Yu urged Hagrid to leave.

Hagrid opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he saw Qin Yu give him a sharp look, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say and walked towards the edge of the crowd with his head down.

However, he had only taken two steps when he heard the thin man's anxious voice behind him: "Don't go!"

Qin Yu stopped and turned around, saying, "Sir, is there anything else?"

"Tell me, how much are you willing to pay?" the thin man said dejectedly.

"Fifty Galleons!" Qin Yu held up one hand and gestured.

"Why don't you just rob me?! Is this how you bargain?" The skinny man's eyes widened immediately.

"You're the one who made me bid. Besides, my owl only costs 18 Galleons. It's reasonable for me to offer 50 Galleons for your dog," Qin Yu said seriously.

"Four hundred Galleons, buy it if you want, or don't!" the thin man said angrily.

"One hundred and fifty, that's tripled, I've already shown you great sincerity!" Qin Yu said earnestly.

"Three hundred and eighty, I'm just making enough to cover the shipping cost!" the skinny man said with a pained expression.

"One hundred and eighty, I think the profit is definitely more than that," Qin Yu said calmly.

"Three hundred and fifty. If you try to bargain any further, I really won't sell it!"

"Two hundred. If you keep doing this, we won't buy it."

"..."

The two exchanged words, and the thin man became increasingly distressed, while Qin Yu remained calm and composed throughout.

In the end, the thin man gave in and agreed to sell the three-headed dog for 245 Galleons. As for why it wasn't a round number like 250, it was because, according to the little boy, 250 was not an auspicious number in their East.

This price made Hagrid extremely happy; his grin was so wide it could have swallowed Qin Yu's head whole.

"Pay up, Hagrid," Qin Yu said to the simple-minded uncle.

"Huh?" Hagrid looked troubled upon hearing this.

"..." Qin Yu was stunned.

"You don't even have 245 Galleons? Then why are you haggling with me for so long!" The skinny man was on the verge of tears.

"Uh, I really don't have that much money," Hagrid said awkwardly.

"Fine, I'll just go all the way and be a good Samaritan." Qin Yu reluctantly reached into his money pouch.
