Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 11 The Hogwarts Express Whistle

After reaching a preliminary supply agreement with Ollivander, Qin Yu left the time-honored wand shop in high spirits.

After double-checking the enrollment list and confirming that nothing was missing, he went to the place where Hagrid checked in his luggage.

"Qin, I'm afraid I can't accompany you on the train," Hagrid said apologetically.

"Yeah, I had a feeling about it," Qin Yu said with a shrug.

Hagrid's character is basically "100% bound to cause trouble." You can trust his character, but you absolutely cannot expect him not to cause some kind of mishap.

"Here's the thing, they said the Luwei train is quite dangerous and needs a person to sign for it, so I have to go back to school and wait. That means I can't take the train back with you," Hagrid explained to Qin Yu.

"It's alright, Hagrid. I'm not a child anymore. I can take the train by myself without any problem," Qin Yu said frankly.

Although he looks like an 11-year-old boy, his soul is that of a man in his mid-twenties. Moreover, he went to university by train alone back then, and this time is no different.

“Then I’ll take you to the station first, and then you can take the train with the others,” Hagrid said.

"Okay, sure," Qin Yu nodded.

This time, instead of using Muggle-world transportation, they found a fireplace connected to the Filu Network.

Hagrid first sprinkled some Floo Powder into the fireplace, then called out the name of the train station. After a puff of green smoke, the big guy disappeared into the fireplace.

Qin Yu followed suit and also completed a Flying Road Network transmission amidst the green smoke.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a fireplace near the train station.

"How does it feel to use Floo Powder for the first time?" Hagrid asked with a smile.

"To be honest, the process was a bit fast. I didn't even have time to experience what it felt like before we got here," Qin Yu replied.

“Well, you’re quite lucky. Diagon Alley and the fireplace here are very clean. The first time I used it, it was covered in dust.” Hagrid finished speaking and laughed heartily, filled with nostalgia for his childhood experiences.

"Looks like I'll have to wear a mask when using Floo Powder from now on," Qin Yu said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s a good idea, but you have to put it on immediately after calling out the location name; that requires very fast reflexes,” Hagrid added.

It was already 10:40 a.m., and there were only 20 minutes left before departure.

Without further ado, Hagrid led Qin Yu to buy tickets.

After buying the tickets, Qin Yu let Haig leave, while he pushed the luggage cart into the station.

With mixed feelings, Qin Yu found the location between platforms 9 and 10.

That's the legendary 9¾ station!

A gate leading to the magical school of Hogwarts!

However, despite his excitement, Qin Yu didn't dare to crash into the wall for a moment.

There's no way around it; what if this thing malfunctions and I end up with a bloody head? After all, it's not like this hasn't happened before.

Just as Qin Yu hesitated, he heard a middle-aged woman's impatient voice coming from not far away:

“George, Fred, you two are so slow. I wouldn’t have brought you here if I hadn’t wanted Ron and Ginny to check out the train station beforehand.”

"Bill's suddenly back, so we should catch up with him!" a boy's voice said.

“Yeah, Bill finally gets to come home, we should let him feel our hospitality!” another almost identical voice chimed in.

"Ha, so your enthusiasm is just to get Bill to bring you more gifts next time?" the middle-aged woman sneered.

Qin Yu listened to their conversation and turned to look.

Sure enough, I saw a bustling middle-aged woman and her seven children.

Wow, the Weasleys have quite a complete family.

The middle-aged woman is none other than Molly Weasley, and the children beside her are her eldest son Bill, second son Charlie (seventh grade), third son Percy (fourth grade), twin brothers George and Fred (second grade), and Ron and Ginny, who are not yet in school.

"Huh? Qin! We meet again!" Bill greeted Qin Yu happily upon seeing him.

“Qin? You must be the little boy Bill told me about meeting at the Gringotts entrance? I’m Bill’s mother, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Mrs. Weasley said in a gentle tone.

“Yes, I am Qin Yu. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Weasley!” Qin Yu replied politely.

Qin Yu had a good impression of this elder.

“What a beautiful and sensible child… Oh, and this is Charlie and Percy, they are in the upper grades. You can ask them for help if you need anything. This is my youngest son Ron and my youngest daughter Ginny! They will be of school age soon, and you will soon be schoolmates.” Mrs. Weasley introduced them warmly.

"..." George.

"..." Fred.

Qin Yu greeted them one by one, and Ron and Ginny greeted Qin Yu with great curiosity.

Qin Yu had long admired Ron, one of the three Gryffindor deduction demerits.

However, the train wouldn't wait, and he didn't have time to chat with the Weasleys any longer.

"Kids, the train's leaving in two minutes, hurry up and get on the train! Qin, have a safe journey! Charlie, Percy, take good care of Qin!" After saying this, Mrs. Weasley yelled at the twins, "George, Fred, put away your nonsense! If you dare to disrupt the order on the train, you're finished!"

The twins made funny faces together, then pushed their luggage carts one after the other and rushed toward Platform 9¾.

Charlie and Percy followed closely behind.

After nodding goodbye to Mrs. Weasley and the others, Qin Yu took a deep breath and rushed over with his luggage cart.

Then, he arrived at the hidden train station without any hindrance.

At that moment, the Hogwarts Express sounded its long whistle, reminding the students that it was almost time to return to school.

……

After boarding, Charlie, as the prefect, had to maintain order, while Percy was introverted and unsociable. Qin Yu ended up in the hands of the twin brothers, and the three of them sat together in a compartment.

However, Qin Yu was certainly not afraid of these two little brats.

After buying a bunch of candy from the shopping cart with one Galleon, the two brothers were won over by Qin Yu.

Along the way, Qin Yu was bored, so he started chatting with the two brothers.

"The wizarding world's business model is still too conservative, especially the application of FlooNet, which is mainly used for teleporting people, making its utilization rate extremely low... I think the sharing economy should be a major trend, such as shared flying brooms, which can directly address the pain point of wizards' inconvenience in traveling... Traditional newspapers like the Daily Prophet will eventually be eliminated, and new media forms will inevitably take their place. This is a major opportunity... Also, the wizarding cultural industry really lacks enough innovation. Has no one thought about making an epic fantasy movie...?"

George and Fred initially treated Qin Yu with the same respect they would a child, but their attitudes gradually changed 180 degrees as Qin Yu uttered words they had never heard before.

They both dreamed of getting rich since they were young.

Although they didn't quite understand the various business models Qin Yu was talking about, it didn't stop them from feeling that they were all great opportunities to realize their dreams.

And Qin Yu, in their eyes, also became taller and more imposing.

Watching the twins excitedly discussing how to set rental prices for flying brooms and how to better utilize the Floo Network, Qin Yu smiled faintly.

Well, from now on, he shouldn't have to worry about finding helpers to do the work.
