Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 317 Purebloods and Half-Bloods in the Magical World (26)
At this time, it is not advisable for the two to get too close. After all, they have only become invisible, not ghosts. Their footsteps will still make noise, although they are very faint due to years of martial arts training.
Through the tiny crack in the door, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu could clearly hear the barking of the three-headed dog and the cursing of Quirrell inside, as well as the various spells being chanted and the sounds of the damage they caused.
However, Professor Quirrell's current abilities were clearly insufficient to defeat the giant beast. Just when Ji Han thought they would hear Avada eating a melon, the farce inside suddenly paused for a moment.
Then came the more intense barking of the three-headed dog, and Quirrell's feigned panic as he ran away. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu quickly retreated to the corner again. The moment they stood still, the door to the room opened again, and Quirrell, stumbling as he ran, came out first, followed by Snape, who, despite his leg injury, still walked steadily.
Snape caught up with Quirrell in a few strides, slammed him against the wall, his eyes scrutinizing and his words full of warnings. This made Quirrell, who was already terrified, feel as if he had lost all his strength. Only Snape's hands, which were gripping his collar, kept him from collapsing to the ground.
To an uninformed viewer, this scene would appear as a confrontation between Professor Snape, brimming with sexual tension and aggressive desires, and Professor Quirrell, pitifully forced to endure everything.
Unfortunately, all four people present were in the know. Because Quirrell had only been in the room for a short time, Snape hadn't caught any substantial evidence against him. So he could only warn him and watch Quirrell stumble away before limping away from the third floor with his injured leg.
As the night deepened, the lights in the stairwell went out one by one, and the entire stairwell returned to silence in the darkness. Suddenly, two faint voices came from the stairwell. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu rubbed their sleepy eyes as they spoke from the space.
Fortunately, the two of them entered the space quickly, otherwise Professor Snape would definitely have discovered them. You know, his subtle glance before leaving, and his deliberate delay of half an hour before returning to check the situation, all indicate that he had discovered that there were still people in the hallway.
"Click!"
With a silent, staffless spell, the door opened smoothly, and a small, smoking ball was thrown inside. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu waited outside for a full ten minutes before carefully entering, each wearing a gas mask.
The little sphere had long since stopped smoking, and Shi Shaoyu casually put it back into his space. The three-headed dog, which had been so fierce before, now had all three of its big heads drooping. Ji Han, fearing it wasn't safe, gave each head three "fainting" treatments.
Then the two of them began their own private pleasure of petting the furry creature. And you know what? This big guy had long fur and thick skin, and it felt incredibly comfortable to touch. If they weren't afraid of being discovered, they would have loved to sleep on this big guy tonight.
However, happy times are always so short. Before dawn, the two had to disappear again. Not long after Ji Han and the others left, someone in the hallway yawned and stretched, starting a new day of gossip.
After a long night of tossing and turning, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu weren't in the mood for breakfast. They went back to their dorm and went straight to sleep. Luckily, Shi Shaoyu remembered to set an alarm so they could get up before class.
Of course, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, who missed breakfast and rushed to the classroom, also missed the explosive news of the savior and his friends bravely fighting the giant monster.
The chaos of Halloween and the peaceful days that followed formed a stark contrast. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, with their photographic memories, successfully conquered three full bookshelves before Christmas, earning them the title of bookworms.
So everyone felt once again that the Sorting Hat must have been senile back then. Even if Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu couldn't go to Hufflepuff, they should have gone to Ravenclaw. Anyway, they had nothing to do with Slytherin.
However, no one knew that after half a semester, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, with their outstanding personal abilities, not only changed most of the Slytherins' opinions of them, but also gained the friendly attitude of nearly half of the Slytherins. After all, in Slytherin, the strong are respected.
During Christmas, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu will definitely leave Hogwarts, but their main purpose for leaving is not to celebrate the holiday, but to deal with their assets outside.
In the Muggle world, Ji Han and his partner mainly run an investment company. Some small investment projects can be handled by their managers or employees, but for some large projects, the two of them still need to personally attend the year-end report.
Especially those projects that are unlikely to yield results in the short term, but have huge investment needs and are beneficial to the future of humanity, such as the research and development of anti-cancer drugs.
Ji Han's only consolation right now is that the investment company's headquarters are in the UK, so the two of them can just sit at the headquarters and wait for meetings instead of having to travel all over the world to attend them.
The wizarding world is relatively more complicated. Ji Han's businesses in the wizarding world were left to him by his father who died young. Although Leon had helped manage them before, he only made sure that the businesses continued in the previous way without major problems, and that was about it.
Therefore, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu need to spend more time on these industries. They need to inspect all the properties and shops they can, and for those places they can't inspect in time, they need to contact the relevant person in charge and, ideally, talk to them in person about the business operations and profitability of those industries.
Therefore, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were extremely busy throughout the Christmas holiday. Many classmates invited them to each other's homes for parties, but they declined them all. They simply didn't have time. They even had to catch up on their favorite sleep on the train back to Hogwarts.
On their first day back at Hogwarts, the two once again successfully skipped dinner in the Great Hall. The reason was simple: they were busy unpacking and returning gifts from the pile of presents.
Actually, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu didn't expect to receive so many gifts. Most of these gifts came from Hufflepuff, and they hadn't even exchanged a single word with the people who gave them the gifts since the start of the semester.
However, because it was the two of them who brought ancient Eastern cuisine to Hogwarts, they earned the gratitude of most of the badgers and a Christmas gift representing goodwill.
They simply accepted the Hufflepuff gifts, and they had already reciprocated the gifts from relatives and friends like Hannah's family. Only the last batch of Slytherin gifts was more complicated to handle.
