Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 168 A Minor Shock, the Snowman Speechless

"Qin, why aren't you up yet? Stop sleeping in!"

The next morning, Qin Yu was woken up by Hermione.

Moreover, the girl was knocking on the door and shouting loudly from outside.

Hmm? Outside the door?

This left Qin Yu, whose mind was not yet fully clear, in a daze. He stared blankly at his chest and subconsciously looked at his chest. It was indeed empty, and he breathed a sigh of relief—he had thought it was a ghost and that two Hermiones had appeared.

He just didn't know when she left, and then early in the morning she pretended to come and knock on his door, shouting so loudly.

What else could it be for if not to let Mom and Dad hear it?

You're such a good actress, Hermione!

"She's awake, get up right away!" Qin Yu had no choice but to shout loudly in agreement.

"Okay, hurry up," Hermione urged again.

"Okay, okay..." Qin Yu replied weakly.

She seemed quite energetic, while Qin Yu clearly hadn't had enough sleep.

So, last night, the two chatted until the very end, and Hermione fell asleep without realizing it.

Qin Yu held her, and even though the girl's body was very light and soft, it still made his arms feel a little uncomfortable. If he moved, he would startle Hermione, who was sleeping, so he could only adjust his position carefully.

In the end, I simply gave up. If I couldn't adjust, I had no choice but to adapt on my own.

After calming down, and smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's hair, I gradually fell asleep due to drowsiness.

In short, Qin Yu fell asleep very late.

Then, he was startled awake once in the middle of the night. It seemed that Hermione rolled over and stretched haphazardly, kicking her arms and legs, all of which hit Qin Yu. It's no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't been against the wall, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Then… Qin Yu couldn’t remember clearly. He only remembered seeing a pair of wide-open eyes in the darkness. When those eyes met his gaze, they looked panicked and blinked several times. Then, the owner of the eyes said “Goodnight” and slipped out of the covers. Before Qin Yu could react, the person had disappeared. He could only hear the soft yet hurried sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Qin Yu was so tired at the time that he didn't think much of it and went back to sleep.

Now, as he calmly gets up and puts on his clothes, he tries to recall what exactly happened.

“Last night, you…” he muttered unconsciously.

"No, I didn't touch anything, you're mistaken!" came the firm denial from outside the door.

"?!"

"I still need to help Dad shovel snow, so please come out quickly!"

Da da da!

The person is gone.

Or rather, they fled in disarray.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Qin Yu smacked his lips, feeling a surge of emotions.

He was confident in his own willpower, but he overlooked the fact that his body was in the prime of its life.

It's not that he had any evil thoughts; even if he slept alone, he would still feel full of blood and energy after a while.

There's nothing strange about this; it's just a normal physiological phenomenon.

Then, perhaps by some twist of fate, Hermione encountered him?

Thinking back to her conversation before bed last night, where she said things like "I understand" and "I've learned it," and comparing that to her panic last night, it's clear that when she thought she understood, she didn't really understand.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt somewhat guilty. In the end, he had been a bit negligent. He should have been more mindful of boundaries when they were together. Even if the little witch wanted to get warm in bed, he should have let her leave once she was warm. He shouldn't have let her do whatever she wanted just because he was holding her.

Qin Yu, you need to learn to say no and improve your self-control!

"Prosperity, civility...freedom, justice...integrity, friendliness..."

Qin Yu muttered to himself, feeling himself gradually calming down.

Indeed, even in a magical world, it's necessary to establish the right values.

……

After a period of self-reflection and self-examination, Qin Yu was full of energy when he got dressed and went downstairs.

He picked up a broom and went to help Mr. Granger shovel snow, full of enthusiasm.

Hermione pretended to be nonchalant as she swept the snow aside, and seeing that Qin seemed to remember nothing, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing to worry about. Boys go through this as they get older. Don't be overly worried or curious about these physiological changes..."

She didn't know which book she had read in, but she was silently reciting something to calm her heart, which had been in turmoil for so long.

After sweeping the snow in the yard for a while, Qin Yu also helped Mr. Granger remove the snow from the roof.

The snow on the roof was thick, but clearing it was actually quite relaxing. Using a long-handled rake specifically for shoveling snow, you could push it from bottom to top, and the snow would slide down the roof piece by piece like tofu blocks under the influence of gravity.

However, it was indeed tiring. You had to tilt your head back and strain to lift the long pole, pushing it diagonally upwards again and again. After a short while, your neck and shoulders would ache.

They worked for a while, then rested for a while, and by noon they had cleared most of the snow from the roof and the yard.

Mr. Granger had left some snow on the small lawn in the yard, and Qin Yu and Hermione planned to use it to build a snowman.

……

after a while.

After examining the snowman in front of her for a while, Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Is this a snowman?"

Qin Yu replied, "Isn't this a snowman?"

"I don't think it's a snowman!"

You're saying it's not a snowman?

"no!"

"I don't think so either. This isn't a snowman at all!"

"Then what is it?"

"A dog? Maybe, or a cat..."

“I think it should look more like a dog; Crookshanks’ ears aren’t like that.”

The snowman on the lawn, which looked like both a dog and a cat, maintained a big smile despite the two human children's incessant conversation, showing no impatience whatsoever. After all, it had no say in its own appearance.

The two continued their conversation.

"Today was a very meaningful day, with shoveling snow and building a snowman."

"Yes, I think so too!"

“Where we live, if a child does something meaningful, we usually do something else to commemorate it.”

"Really? What else can you do?"

"Would you like to try it too?"

"Yes, I want to!"

"Okay, then write an essay of no less than 800 words on the topic of shoveling snow and building a snowman. The style is not limited, but it must be based on genuine feelings."

"!"

If this snowman, which resembles both a dog and a cat, could speak, it would surely retort to the human boy, "I may not be human, but you are a real dog!" However, it is just a snowman and can only maintain the big smile given to it by humans until the sun comes out and the ice and snow melt.

Qin Yu, acting completely inhuman, abandoned the bewildered Hermione and turned to leave. But as he turned his back to the girl and the snowman, an uncontrollable smirk appeared on his lips.

Well, let this little Western witch experience a little shock from an Eastern language holiday homework assignment!
