Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 192 My life has been like walking on thin ice

During dinner, Hermione quietly asked Harry and the others if they had found any clues—referring, of course, to the name Nicolas Flamel.

Harry looked ashamed and shook his head.

This left Hermione somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about it; she could only investigate further.

Then, Harry mentioned to Qin Yu that he had found a notebook with the name "Qin" on it somewhere, which he assumed belonged to the latter.

"Is it a note on Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Qin Yu asked after thinking for a moment.

“Yes, yes, it’s Defense Against the Dark Arts!” Harry nodded repeatedly, adding, “And I haven’t learned most of it.”

“Then this should be mine. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at that notebook. I thought I left it in Professor Swinton’s office,” Qin Yu said, thanking Harry.

"You're welcome. I'm happy to help you. I'll go back to my dorm and get it for you after dinner," Harry said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll meet in the common rest area. I might be a little late, so please wait for me a moment," Qin Yu said, glancing at the area where the professors were dining.

He decided to go directly to Professor Dumbledore later to ask about Swinton; it would be better to find out sooner rather than later—however, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to get anything out of Professor Dumbledore.

Thinking about these things, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Hermione, who was sitting right next to him, naturally noticed this.

Especially considering the notebook Harry just mentioned, which is about Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Qin also mentioned Professor Swinton's name, and considering what the two of them discovered in Diagon Alley, Hermione could more or less guess why he was in a bad mood.

So the girl reached out and took his hand, conveying her care and warmth.

“Don’t worry, Qin! Just do what you can do, isn’t that what you always say?” Hermione comforted her.

Qin Yu felt the little girl's concern, let out a long sigh, and forced a smile: "Thank you, Hermione. I was just a little confused."

Everyone understands the principle, and everyone can explain it; the most dangerous thing is being caught up in the situation.

Reminded by Hermione, Qin Yu quickly adjusted his mood.

Do your best in everything you can, and leave the rest to fate.

……

So, after dinner, Qin Yu parted ways with Hermione and the others, and went alone to catch up with Dumbledore, who was about to leave.

"Professor, Professor Dumbledore! I have something I'd like to ask you!" Qin Yu called out from behind.

Dumbledore stopped his leisurely pace when he heard someone call his name.

He turned around and saw that it was Qin Yu. He didn't show any surprise, but said kindly, "Oh, it's Qin. You wanted to ask me about Professor Swinton, right?"

"Huh? How did you know?!" Qin Yu stepped back, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"Hahaha, of course it's because of the amazing magic!" Dumbledore said with a mysterious expression, stretching out one hand and drawing a circle in the air.

"..." Qin Yu was speechless.

If you hadn't said that, I might have suspected that you knew it through magic.

Now they're openly admitting they used magic; isn't that just trying to cover it up?

It's definitely not!

If it wasn't through magic, then how did it happen? Could it be that someone was following me? If so, then everything I did to Hermione was seen by others.

Wait, I didn't do anything, why am I feeling guilty?

Throughout my life, I, Qin, have always been self-disciplined, cautious, and tread carefully...

What I'm saying is, if I voluntarily confess some minor issues with my thoughts and actions, does that count as turning myself in?

Watching Qin Yu's reaction with great interest, especially the changes in his facial expression, Dumbledore nodded and said, "You child, your mental state is indeed more active than before. Although I am not good at this, it should be fine."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

So you're conducting a stress test here?!

Fortunately, I, the Taoist priest—no, I mean the sorcerer—held on and didn't choose the path of confessing and receiving leniency!

"Don't overthink it. It's a coincidence that I know you want to ask about Swinton. As for what the coincidence is, I can't tell you right now—just like I won't casually reveal things related to you to others."

Dumbledore spoke these words in a soft yet solemn tone.

Qin Yu immediately understood; this involved comrades on the secret front!

However, the fact that Lao Deng didn't say anything didn't stop him from making some guesses.

That day in Diagon Alley, I met quite a few people, such as female employees A and B from Flourish and Blotts, several unknown wizards who were watching from the bookstore, and the ice cream shop employee who eventually sold the newspaper.

Everyone knew what kind of newspaper he was looking for, and as for who was the most suspicious... he was emotionally inclined to think it was the female shop assistant, but rationally he felt it might be the ice cream shop assistant, and at the same time he couldn't rule out some wizard who was passing by.

Forget it, forget it, it's not a spy drama, why bother guessing this?

"Come with me, I have something to show you that relates to Professor Swinton." Dumbledore's words interrupted Qin Yu's daze.

After saying this, Lao Deng started walking towards the principal's office.

"Yes, Professor!"

Qin Yu quickly followed Dumbledore.

……

The Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore pulled a document from the shelf behind his desk, took out a few pages, and handed them to Qin Yu, who was standing opposite him.

"You can sit down and take your time to look at it, while I wait for my other guest."

"Thank you, Professor!"

Qin Yu took the few pages of paper, his gaze fixed on them, and without looking at the road, he moved to a chair next to the coffee table, relying on his memory to move to it. He sat down while flipping through the pages.

As for Dumbledore's mention of guests, he paid them no heed.

The contents of the paper record the activity trajectory of a person named S in North America.

From his first encounter with GA in North America, to becoming a candidate for the organization, and then taking charge of integrating wizards in Salem on his own, he used numerous harsh methods. After successfully completing his mission, he was accepted by GA and quickly rose to prominence within the organization. Now, he has formed a loose group led by himself, known as "Ruthless Stanley," and is on par with "Little John the Hellfire" within the organization.

The information is listed one by one, like a summary report of intelligence—this information is much more specific and detailed than the few words in a newspaper.

As Qin Yu looked at the description of this person on the paper, he had a vague feeling that he was witnessing the struggle of a Hongmen Double Flower Red Pole.

"This……"

He struggled to find the words to express himself.
