Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Our young master Draco Malfoy has garnered much praise and support on this magical express train.

This made him somewhat arrogant for a time.

However, the students talked most about Qin, the school's most popular figure, and Harry Potter, who escaped from the clutches of the Dark Lord Voldemort—of course, they wouldn't call Voldemort by his name.

"I really look forward to Qin's performance in the new school year."

"With Qin on the team, the Gryffindor Quidditch team has really changed a lot."

"But Charlie graduated and left, and we don't know who will be the finder on their team."

"It's alright. With Qin as the batter, anyone can be a good Seeker for Gryffindor as long as they're not too bad."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Sigh, isn't it because they don't want students from other schools? Besides, I swear to defend the honor of Hufflepuff School to the death!"

"whispering sound!"

"To be honest, I heard that Qin's sister is also studying at Hogwarts. I wonder if she will be a very capable person as well."

"That's definitely something to look forward to."

"..."

The Quidditch match made Qin Yu known to everyone, and as people got to know him better, they discovered that he was also an excellent student (according to the evaluation of his teachers), a person of outstanding character (according to feedback from some first-year students), and a person with a wide circle of friends (according to feedback from some first-year students), which made him a popular and outstanding figure on campus.

Of course, Qin Yu's fame was limited to the school. He was a big shot in the newbie village, but outside of school he was just an ordinary person. However, he didn't care about that. He could learn things at school, secretly level up, and have fun.

As for the name Harry Potter, it has been circulating in the wizarding world for ten years. However, people had only heard of him before but never seen him in person. Now, they have finally seen the real Harry Potter.

"The boy is in the carriage ahead."

"I glanced at her as I passed by; she looked quite quiet and gentle."

"Is he very powerful? To escape from the clutches of the mysterious man, he must have a high level of magical skill."

"Not necessarily, it looks pretty ordinary."

"But it's definitely not ordinary."

"That's true."

"..."

Malfoy felt a pang of jealousy at their gossip.

However, he felt that given time, he would definitely be able to gain a great reputation at Hogwarts.

Before that, he also wanted to see what those two people looked like.

So he took his two friends (followers), Crabbe and Goyle, and headed toward that carriage.

Then, he saw the person he had met at Madame Malkin's Robes shop in the hallway.

Most importantly, some students passing by greeted the man with smiles and called him "Qin".

……

"You're really Qin?!" Malfoy's expression became somewhat unnatural as he recalled what he had said that day.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon, Draco!" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"You actually know my name?" Malfoy's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Because I've seen your father several times, and each time I'm deeply impressed. Also, your signature pale blonde hair and your face that always makes people uncomfortable are exactly like your father's!" Qin Yu said coldly.

Every time he met Lucius Malfoy, it was a complete mess.

Seeing his son Draco Malfoy at this moment, how could Qin Yu possibly have a pleasant expression?

"...I don't know anything about what happened between you and my father, but I...I hope you'll speak more politely!" Malfoy said somewhat guiltily.

He finally understood why his father had told him to stay away from Qin Yuan; it turned out the two had a grudge against each other.

In fact, the main reason Lucius kept him away from Qin Yu was because he was deeply impressed by the first time he witnessed Qin Yu beating Jerome, and he was afraid that his own son would suffer the same fate.

"Oh, civility? Well then, remember what you said. If I find out you've done anything uncivilized at school, I'll have a good talk with you, Malfoy."

As Qin Yu spoke, he moved closer to Malfoy, who was slightly shorter than him. At the end of his sentence, he reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder, which made the latter shudder.

"...That's for sure. The Malfoy family has a long and distinguished history. They are a pure-blooded wizarding family known for their elegance and civility. How could I possibly do anything uncivilized?" Malfoy tilted his head back, trying to calm himself down.

There was nothing he could do; Qin Li was too close, and his heart couldn't help but pound wildly. He was genuinely a little afraid of him and felt a bit intimidated.

"Very good, very good, here's a candy for the junior!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he handed Malfoy a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean.

I also gave one to each of the simple-minded and strong Crabbe and Gore.

"What is this..." Young Master Malfoy had never eaten this kind of thing that only commoners ate before.

"Something delicious." Qin Yu popped one into his mouth as well.

Hmm, lucky me, it's strawberry flavored.

"Hermione, Neville, let's go. I guess that toad went to another carriage." Qin Yu called to his sister and the chubby Neville as they left.

Malfoy swallowed hard and couldn't resist popping the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean in his hand into his mouth.

Immediately, his facial features contorted in pain.

"It's so sour..." Malfoy exclaimed softly.

He felt a surge of saliva instantly welling up in his mouth.

However, after the initial, intense sourness, a slightly sweet aftertaste begins to linger in the mouth, and it seems... actually quite delicious...

This kind of taste stimulation was something Malfoy had never experienced before, and he immediately began to like the strong sourness.

"Qin, I will definitely catch up with you!" Malfoy quickly chewed and swallowed the candy, shouting at Qin Yu as he walked away.

"I'll be waiting for you," Qin Yu said without turning his head.

After Qin Yu and the other two went to another carriage, Crabbe asked, "Malfoy, are we still going to find Harry Potter?"

“Go ahead, why wouldn’t he go! Maybe he can go to Slytherin too. I hope he can see the situation clearly and choose to stay with us.”

Malfoy had just caught a glimpse of Harry Potter from afar and had already confirmed that he was the bespectacled boy he had seen in the robe shop.

Their purpose in coming here is to recruit Harry into their small group.

Of course, the most important goal was to make Harry Potter, this celebrity, his friend, and preferably someone who would listen to him. That would make Harry Potter very prestigious.

However, considering that Harry Potter knew Qin, Malfoy felt he could lower his expectations a bit; becoming friends would be enough.

Then, the Malfoy trio knocked on the door of the box where Harry Potter was.

Even though he remembered Qin Yu's words about being civilized, Malfoy remained incredibly arrogant after meeting Harry and Ron, and even made sarcastic remarks about the Weasleys' poverty.

Harry Potter naturally grew increasingly disgusted with the boy. Forget about being friends; if he weren't completely devoid of magic, a fight between them wouldn't be out of the question. After all, Harry felt indignant on behalf of his friend when he heard Malfoy mocking Ron.

Thus, Malfoy not only failed to become friends with Harry Potter, but their relationship also became increasingly tense.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts... It must be the bean from earlier..." said the simple and strong-looking Gao Er, clutching his stomach.

“Me too…” Crabbe also clutched his stomach.

At that moment, Malfoy's stomach also started rumbling.

Thus, the three arrogant Malfoys left the private room in a sorry state.

"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"

This made Harry and Ron burst into laughter.

Adam, who had been rather unnoticed, slowly lowered his slightly raised hand and muttered to himself, "What a noisy bunch."

……

……

Let's go shopping!

Dirty~

The train sped by, passing through vast mountains, rivers, forests, and plains, as well as the occasional Muggle town.

On the train, the little wizards chatted and laughed, sat quietly, or admired the scenery along the way, waiting for it to reach its destination.

Qin Yu and Hermione ultimately failed to help Neville find the toad. Fortunately, after being sad for a while, the little fat boy temporarily forgot about it and started eating the delicious food Qin Yu had given him.

After seeing the chubby boy off, the two were finally free from being disturbed by others, as everyone needed to make various preparations before getting off the bus.

Qin Yu and Hermione also changed into their respective wizard robes.

Seeing Hermione transformed into an adorable little witch again, especially with her chin raised and a haughty expression, Qin Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little cheek.

This girl is so adorable; if she were at home, it wouldn't be as simple as just pinching her cheeks.

At worst, I'll just recite another poem.

"It'll swell up if you keep pinching it~" Hermione said rather displeased.

"I didn't use any force."

"Then let me pinch you and see!"

"Come on, please."

"Hmph, then don't move!"

"...Ouch! I didn't use that much force!"

"Really? Then I'll be gentler, let's do it again..."

"..."

Don't dodge!

"Only a fool wouldn't dodge!"

"Hehe, you can't escape, I... um..."

A girl lost her balance and fell into Qin Yu's arms. Then, she was too lazy to move and decided to rest for a while.

——Dimensional wall——

Okay, saying "Cave" might seem too general and perfunctory. Actually, it's about the interactions between several key characters. I had oversimplified things before, and I've been suffering for two days now.

I'll try to sort things out as soon as possible... That'll be one update today.

That's all for now, everyone get some rest.
