"Hmm," Hermione nodded, "but if you can't manage the time, then forget it."

"I practice magic regularly, so one more person won't make a difference. But let's make it clear first, if you're going to learn from me, you can't give up halfway."

"That's great, I will definitely keep going."

Hermione nodded vigorously, a bright smile spreading across her face.

Chapter 528, Teasing Professor Quirrell

While he was supposed to be teaching Hermione magic, it was really just a side thing for Yi Shuihan. In his spare time, he would chat with the young lady to relax. Isn't the way of cultivation supposed to be about a balance of tension and relaxation?

Harry was chosen by Professor McGonagall to join the Quidditch Gryffindor team, and with the Quidditch Cup approaching, he was naturally busy with Quidditch every day. Ron wouldn't actively seek out Hermione, so Hermione became very attached to Yi Shuihan during this time. Especially after Yi Shuihan took Hermione into the Room of Requirement, Hermione completely shifted her free time to the Room of Requirement.

A man and a woman alone in a room, do you think something might happen? The answer is naturally no. Yi Shuihan is not that kind of beast, he wouldn't be able to do that to a 12-year-old girl.

For Yi Shuihan, it was just a side effect, but the gap between his strength and Hermione's was too great. So, often, a single sentence from him could teach Hermione a lot, and most of it was experience that she could not learn at school. This made Hermione feel that her understanding of magic was rising in a straight line, and therefore she admired Yi Shuihan even more.

"Today is the start of the Quidditch season, aren't you going to watch?"

Yi Shuihan was researching a rather unorthodox magic spell when he heard Hermione's voice. Looking up, he saw that Hermione was a little out of breath, probably because she had run over.

"Is it today already? Time really flies."

Slightly moved, Yi Shuihan decided to go and see for himself. After all, he had a good relationship with Harry, and he vaguely remembered that Harry had come to him and mentioned this matter, and he had agreed to it at the time.

When Yi Shuihan arrived at the scene with Hermione, it was already packed with people. He found it hard to understand why such a match would attract so many magicians so much, just as he had never understood why so many people watched football every year.

Hermione, Yi, here.

Ron waved, beckoning Hermione and Yi Shuihan to come over. Beside him stood a giant much taller than a normal person, none other than Hagrid.

Once Yi Shuihan was in position, the Quidditch match was about to begin, and both players rode their brooms into the arena and took off.

In the center of the arena, both sides appeared very serious, as if they were on a sacred battlefield.

As the Golden Snitch was released and disappeared from sight, the Quaffle was thrown, and the Quidditch match finally began, with all the players getting to work.

Chasing the ball through the air on a broomstick, especially at high speeds, is quite thrilling and tests one's reaction time and judgment.

"Go Gryffindor!"

"Go Slytherin!"

Students from the two colleges cheered for their respective colleges in a clear and distinct manner, while students from the other two colleges also cheered for their favorite teams, creating a very enthusiastic atmosphere.

For Yi Shuihan, Quidditch was just a way to pass the time. He wasn't particularly interested in the Quidditch match itself, but rather in the atmosphere. He often stayed in one place studying magic, so it was nice to relax like this occasionally. At least for now, Yi Shuihan felt good.

"Something seems off with Harry?"

After an unknown amount of time, Hermione suddenly spoke, and Yi Shuihan looked over and saw that Harry looked very panicked, his wand seemingly completely out of control.

In the blink of an eye, Harry performed a rare acrobatic feat: his broom tried to fling him off, but he clung to it desperately, eventually ending up on top of the broom, about to fall.

At this point, even the others noticed that something was wrong with Harry and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Professor Snape! Look at him, he's chanting a spell!"

Ron suddenly shouted, pointing at Snape who was muttering to himself not far away, his eyes full of anger. He still had some feelings for his good friend Harry.

“It’s not him,” Yi Shuihan said with certainty.

“I think so too,” Hagrid said hesitantly, for the current situation was quite deceptive.

"But he was chanting a spell. Who else could it be but him? He came to threaten Harry before Harry even participated in this Quidditch match."

Ron insisted on his opinion and then tried to interrupt Snape's incantation.

Yi Shuihan did not stop Ron, but instead turned his attention to the real instigator of this incident, Professor Quirrell.

Professor Quirrell is actually quite strong; at least this move required Snape to go all out just to prevent the broom from going too wild.

"Since you promised to keep Harry safe, you can't go back on your word. Besides, you're dealing with Harry right in front of me, which is clearly disrespectful!"

In that instant, Yi Shuihan activated Time Stop, and the entire Hogwarts was completely within his Time Stop Domain.

In a mere three seconds, Yi Shuihan first appeared beside Harry, placing him back on the broom, then went to Quirrell, stripped him of his clothes, leaving him only in his underwear and a scarf on his head, and after posing him in an extremely shameful position, casually tossed him into a crowd of ugly women.

"Ah! You scoundrel!"

"Perverted!"

When time was up and the stillness returned, screams immediately came from the crowd. Everyone saw Quirrell's shameful posture and was momentarily stunned.

"Huh, how come I..."

Harry looked puzzled. He clearly remembered that he was about to be thrown off, but now he was sitting safely on the broom, and the broom was not out of control.

Did he do it?

Snape stopped chanting the incantation and looked at Yi Shuihan not far away, feeling very suspicious.

"He actually fainted right away. Quirrell's reaction time is pretty good."

Yi Shuihan looked at Quirrell, who had "fainted" again, with a rather strange expression. Others might not know, but he could feel how furious Voldemort, who was residing in Quirrell, was at this moment, as if his soul was about to explode.

Professor Quirrell was carried away, but Quidditch continued, and Harry, just like in the original story, helped Gryffindor win the Quidditch match.

Chapter 529, Things Needed for Incubation

The Room of Requirement

"Did Professor Quirrell do it?"

"what?"

“What I mean is, Harry’s broom got into trouble because of Professor Quirrell.”

"Why would you think that? Wasn't it Snape who was casting the spell?"

Yi Shuihan said with great interest.

Hermione gave her a look that said, "You don't have to lie to me. I saw you staring at Professor Quirrell, and then that weird thing happened. Besides, you weren't talking about Professor Snape at the beginning."

With a slight smile, Yi Shuihan neither denied nor admitted it, which made Hermione look at him somewhat angrily. Later, she simply went to the side to practice magic. However, whether it was Yi Shuihan's imagination or not, Hermione's magic practice seemed to be a bit too noisy.

"Meow!"

Meow, who was already somewhat familiar with Hermione, rubbed against Yi Shuihan's trouser leg, her eyes filled with confusion.

At this point, Miaoya was much bigger than when she was born, growing from the size of two palms to the size of three palms, but she still looked like an adorable pet.

I patted Miaoya's head, and Miaoya closed its eyes comfortably, no longer caring about anything else.

After Yi Shuihan saved Harry, Snape first thanked Yi Shuihan and confirmed with him that the information about the rescue was indeed from him. Dumbledore also thanked Yi Shuihan and even gave him a tangible benefit: a potion-making room that belonged only to Yi Shuihan. This made Yi Shuihan slightly happy. Although making potions with Snape was not troublesome, it was never as good as making potions in his own potion-making room.

"The potion's effects seem to have worn off; it looks like I need a new replacement."

After drinking another bottle of his homemade potion, Yi Shuihan felt that the potion was no longer of much help to him, and that it would not help even if he continued to drink it. Moreover, he was already finding the taste of the potion unbearable, and he would feel annoyed if he drank too much.

"Perhaps I should make the next potion have more flavors." This thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind.

The potion losing its effect was a bad thing for Yi Shuihan, but it also meant that Yi Shuihan's magic had reached an unprecedented level, surpassing Dumbledore and Voldemort, and perhaps it should be said that he was now the world's number one.

"It's time to learn the As Communication Technique. If I'm not good enough now, then the difficulty of the As Communication Technique is truly insane."

He took out the parchment containing the Aas communication techniques and began to study it.

Compared to the last time, this time Yi Shuihan went exceptionally smoothly, even a little too smoothly. He could easily understand every sentence and every word.

Several tens of minutes later, Yi Shuihan knew without even trying that he had learned the magic that Hagrid had dreamed of.

Having learned the As Communication Technique, the first thing Yi Shuihan did was take out the magical egg and then cast the As Communication Technique on it.

It's amazing. Even Yi Shuihan, with his level of cultivation, doesn't know the principle behind it. Logically speaking, the little guy inside the egg doesn't have its own thoughts at all, and its soul hasn't even fully formed yet. But Yi Shuihan has very strangely figured out what it needs.

"It's that thing after all. But how did it know that thing existed when it wasn't even born yet?" he said with a hint of disbelief, falling into deep thought as he thought about the thing that had given him the information.

After a while, Yi Shuihan regained his senses, put the egg away again, and then left his room.

"It seems a bit late."

He went outside and realized it was already late at night, which made him feel awkward; he had been in too much of a hurry.

Going back seemed like the right choice, but Yi Shuihan suddenly had the urge to go out for a walk, so he simply closed the door and went out.

The ban on loitering on campus at night had absolutely no effect on him!

"By the way, Halloween is over now, which means Harry has the Invisibility Cloak. Maybe I can go check out the Magic Mirror."

Having set a destination, Yi Shuihan was not in a hurry and planned to stroll over there at a leisurely pace.

"Oh, little guy, you want to go out for a walk too?"

His foot seemed to have bumped into something, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a cat. Its skin color was almost impossible to see in the dark, and if Yi Shuihan hadn't had such good eyesight, he definitely wouldn't have recognized it at a glance.

"Night Cat, your name contains the character for 'night,' and you really are a night owl. You're much more energetic at night than during the day."

Yi Shuihan noticed that Miaoya's eyes glowed with an eerie light at night, giving off a very dangerous feeling.

In addition, Meow's figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see through her like trying to see flowers through a fog.

"Let's go, I'll take the cat for a late-night walk tonight."

Walking slowly ahead, the surroundings were very quiet, like an uninhabited classical castle, which had a unique charm.

Yi Shuihan didn't know exactly which room the magic mirror was stored in, but he vaguely knew that it was not far from the forbidden arts area, so he just needed to head towards the forbidden books area.

"Who is there?"

First, I saw a dim yellow light. As the light approached, it illuminated the surroundings, and I was able to see the person clearly. It was our manager, Mr. Filch. Well, he was just a security guard on night patrol.

"It's me. I was just bored and came out for a walk. Is there a problem?"

Yi Shuihan casually struck up a conversation.

Filch, who had been excited about discovering the mischievous student, suddenly looked displeased. He had no way to deal with Yi Shuihan, the mysterious Easterner who was not a student but held a special position at Hogwarts.

"Walking outside at night is prohibited."

After uttering that dry sentence, Filch turned and left.

3 minutes later,

"Why are you following me?"

Filch, somewhat exasperated, said that he had originally wanted to leave quickly to avoid seeing Yi Shuihan because he couldn't do anything about her, but Yi Shuihan simply followed him.

"I'm going to the restricted book section. I'll just borrow your help since I'm passing by. Besides, it's safer to have another person with me."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he wondered if it was a coincidence that tonight was the night Harry discovered the Magic Mirror, and if Snape would ask Quirrell to come out and talk to him.

Chapter 530, The Third Person

In an attempt to shake off Yi Shuihan, Filch quickened his pace, but no matter how fast he went, Yi Shuihan easily kept up alongside him, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever.

After a while, Filch himself was panting, and finding that Yi Shuihan was still the same as before, he could only resign himself to his fate, walking with a dark face, muttering to himself as he walked, saying what would happen if he caught a student wandering around now, with a somewhat suggestive meaning.

Filch's black cat, Mrs. Lolis, followed not far away, looking rather reserved, as if somewhat afraid of meows, which was one of the reasons that made Filch rather angry.

Lady Lolis was almost Filch's sole emotional support, as important as his life in Filch's eyes. Even if Meow was cute, it couldn't compare to Lady Lolis's status, so naturally he would dislike her.

As a pet owner, Filch is undoubtedly far more qualified than Mrs. Pince.

"Who is it? I know you're there. Come out yourself."

Upon reaching the restricted book area, having found nothing at all, Filch began to shout, leaving Yi Shuihan somewhat dumbfounded.

Yi Shuihan had already discovered Harry inside, and he was certain that Filch knew absolutely nothing at this moment, and was just shouting; perhaps it was just a habit of his.

Even a gatekeeper has his own tricks! Such an obvious trick, yet someone still fell for it. Hearing the obvious light fall to the ground, Yi Shuihan had an urge to cover his face.

At this moment, Filch's face became extremely excited again, as if he had been injected with hormones, making Yi Shuihan think he was a lunatic.

Even with the invisibility cloak or other magical artifacts, Filch still couldn't see Harry, but a broken lamp on the ground was enough to excite him for a while.

As Harry and Filch passed each other, Yi Shuihan watched quietly from the side. He could even feel the astonished look in Harry's eyes.

Perhaps thinking he couldn't see him, Harry made a face at Yi Shuihan. It seems that meeting Yi Shuihan greatly relieved his tension!

"You can continue! I'll just take a look and leave."

Yi Shuihan said he wouldn't get involved, and Filch hesitated for a moment before going off to look for clues.

Once Filch disappeared from sight, Yi Shuihan said to a corner, "Come out! Don't think I can't find you."

"How did you find me?" Harry poked his head out and asked in surprise.

"I should also ask you how you got here. This invisibility cloak is a good thing, but it can't hide your breathing or your heartbeat."
