Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 147 is indeed, out of concern

After scaring the three little brats, Qin Yu casually cast a stun spell to prevent the giant from suddenly waking up and launching a classic villainous counterattack.

Cautious and steady, that's our main approach.

Seeing Qin cast the spell so easily and casually, the three people who were initially awkward were all stunned and somewhat shocked.

In the past, Qin had always presented himself to them as mature, powerful, violent, wise, or something else, and it seemed that he had never used a magic wand to cast spells.

As mentioned earlier, casting spells is very complex and requires a deep understanding and study of incantations, casting trajectories, and so on in order to successfully release them. For example, the levitation spell they recently learned is one that few first-year students have been able to master yet.

The Stun Spell can knock out the target creature directly. It is a more complex and aggressive spell, and its difficulty of casting is naturally not on the same level as the Levitation Spell.

Now, they are witnessing Qin unleash a high-level spell up close, much like three elementary school students watching a high school student solve trigonometric functions—they don't even know what trigonometric functions are, yet Qin handles them with ease.

It's just something that sounds impressive but I don't really understand it!

—It's worth mentioning here that if you compare a human being to a high school student, it doesn't mean that the person isn't strong enough. On the contrary, as we all know, high school is a stage that many people can never surpass in their entire lives.

In other words, Qin Yu's skill in casting spells alone is already stronger than that of many adult wizards. As for exactly how much stronger, it is hard to define, because the factors that determine strength in the magical world are not only magic itself.

Considering that Qin was only one grade ahead of them, Harry, Ron, and even Malfoy felt even more like utterly insignificant weaklings when it came to learning magic.

These were just fleeting thoughts in their minds, and outsiders had no way of knowing them. Qin Yu didn't care what the three little brats thought. He knew his own worth best and there was nothing to be proud of. Of course, he wouldn't belittle himself either.

……

The commotion on the first floor quickly alerted the teachers on patrol, with Vice Principal and Head of Gryffindor, Professor Minerva McGonagall, arriving first.

She glanced at the giant on the ground and couldn't help but frown. When she saw the three boys in the room, their robes disheveled and their faces covered in dust, her frown deepened.

Anyone who sees this scene can guess the gist of it.

A look of anger mixed with worry appeared in Professor McGonagall's eyes.

However, judging from the current situation, at least no one is hurt.

"Can any of you tell me what happened?" Professor McGonagall asked the same question as Qin Yu in a cold tone.

This time, however, Harry and Ron didn't dare to answer. They were so nervous that they didn't know what to do. An angry Professor McGonagall was quite intimidating.

Malfoy certainly didn't dare either. After hearing what Qin had just said, he was afraid that his unauthorized actions would bring Slytherin a penalty of points deduction. However, he also knew that there was no way to avoid it.

Let Harry Potter and the Weasleys handle it then; I'm just passing by anyway.

That's right, I'm just a helpful wizard passing by!

Malfoy thought to himself.

Then, wait for Harry or Ron to speak first, and then pretend to be innocent and add your own comments.

"Professor, it's all my fault. I was hiding here sleeping, and Harry and Ron came looking for me."

Adam spoke first.

It was only then that Malfoy realized this guy was still in the room, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "You only mention those two guys' names, why not mine? What do you mean by that?"

“We didn’t intend to fight the troll, but Adam was about to be attacked by it, so we had no choice but to go and save him,” Ron explained.

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, it's all my fault. I should have told you or the other teachers beforehand," Harry quickly admitted his mistake.

They really know how to downplay the important points; they just want to show off!

Malfoy grumbled to himself.

"And what brings you here, Mr. Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall suddenly asked.

“I… was just passing by…” Malfoy said in a very low voice the reason he had just thought of.

"Just passing by?" Professor McGonagall clearly didn't believe this answer.

At a time like this, who would believe you if you said you just happened to walk into a room with a giant monster?

Malfoy knew this too, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "I saw Potter and Weasley leaving the Great Hall, and I, out of curiosity, followed them..."

"So, you left Slytherin's group and acted on your own out of concern?" Professor McGonagall continued to ask.

Departing from the college group and acting without authorization... these are all serious accusations of violation.

Malfoy felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.

So, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Indeed, it was out of concern..."

After saying this, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and his stomach felt nauseous and vomiting.

He wasn't really concerned about Harry Potter and the Weasley boys; he was just forced to pretend to admit it!

Malfoy tried his best to justify himself.

Harry and Ron grinned and stepped back, distancing themselves from the guy and completely disbelieving his words.

Nobody believes he would care about them!

Of course, considering that Malfoy had also helped save them, neither of them would voice any doubts.

"Qin, you should have arrived a little earlier than me. Tell me what you know," Professor McGonagall said, bombarding Qin Yu with questions.

“When I arrived, the troll had already been knocked to the ground. According to them, Potter and Malfoy must have grabbed the troll by the neck, giving Weasley an opportunity to cast the Levitation Charm and knock the troll unconscious with this stick.” Qin said, pointing to the thick wooden stick next to the troll.

The stick was as thick as a troll's head, so it was no surprise that it could knock it unconscious.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement after hearing the explanation and said to the young wizards present, "Although trolls are short-tempered and destructive, they are not very smart. You can defeat them by attacking their head, which is their weakness."

Before the stunned children could react, Professor McGonagall raised her voice slightly and continued in a solemn and serious tone, "However, I still do not recommend that you risk going to fight the trolls, even in groups of three!"

Upon hearing this, Harry and Ron both lowered their heads, and Malfoy, seeing this, quickly followed suit, burying his head low as well.

They were very worried about what Professor McGonagall was about to say.

“Mr. Quinn,” Professor McGonagall looked at Adam and said seriously, “you have violated school rules during class and mealtimes, putting yourself and your friends in danger as a result. I think deducting five points from Gryffindor will make you realize your mistake.”

They really got points deducted!

Upon hearing this, Harry, Ron, and Malfoy all felt as if they were doomed, inwardly groaning while their faces showed bitter expressions.

However, Adam nodded calmly: "I accept this punishment."

"This kid is quite calm; I almost forgot he was there," Qin Yu thought to himself.

Then, Adam paused briefly, looked around, and said in a soft tone:

"I think I'm not the point."

Yes, he's not the point. The point is those three unfortunate kids.

Qin Yu thought this made a lot of sense.

The others nodded slightly in agreement, including Snape, who arrived late, and Quirrell, who looked pained.

After a moment's pause, Professor McGonagall turned to the three first-year students who had their heads down, carefully choosing her words.

Just as everyone's attention turned to Harry and his friends, no one noticed that the faint white light in Adam's eyes gradually faded, just as no one noticed when that white light had appeared.
