Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

By this time, most of the young wizards had finished their dinner and were leaving the restaurant, passing through the corridor they had to take to get back to their dormitories.

Then they saw a horrifying scene before them.

Harry peered at the words in blood, with a cat, its fate unknown, hanging from a lamp nearby.

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Some believed that the so-called heir was Harry, and that he had been discovered before he could leave after writing these warnings.

Those who have more faith in Harry believe that he simply happened to be there.

Of course, no one suspected Zicomo and the others, because they had simply left the restaurant a little earlier than everyone else.

Ravenclaws, in particular, all lowered their heads when they saw Lani next to Zicomo, afraid of attracting her attention.

Colin also wanted to take a picture of Harry, and he was positioned so that the Scarlet Letter, Harry, and Mrs. Lorris could all be captured in the photo.

Unfortunately, Percy stopped him, otherwise this photo would definitely have sold for a high price at the Daily Prophet's office.

Draco wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but seeing Zicomo and Lani behind him, he decided to keep quiet and wait and see.

Zicomo watched from the sidelines, speechless for a moment.

You mean Harry can look, but why is he getting so close?

Although he is nearsighted, he does wear glasses.

If your prescription gets worse, get new glasses as soon as possible; otherwise, it will only get more serious.

And this snake monster is just outrageous!

After crawling out and babbling on for a while, he attacked a cat, even though he only indirectly watched the cat.

Mrs. Lorris is now petrified here, and what's even more absurd is that it's hanging on a wall lamp.

I don't know if it was the basilisk that did it, or the little wizard that Voldemort tricked into doing it.

If it's a basilisk, then it's really quite boring.

Filch rushed over and pushed through the crowd, only to see a scene he didn't want to accept.

"Potter! You killed my cat! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Filch, in a fit of rage, grabbed Harry by the neck, intending to kill him to be buried with his cat.

Zicomo casually waved his hand, and a 'Radiant Stone Meteor' struck his hand.

Filch, in pain, released Harry.

Harry quickly ran away and hid behind Zicomo.

“Mr. Filch, please calm down. Your cat isn’t dead. It’s just petrified.”

Zicomo's words calmed Filch down a little.

"Zicomo, are you telling the truth?"

"of course."

"You must have a way, right? Help me! Aren't you and Mrs. Lorice on good terms? Please save it!"

Filch's words left Zicomo speechless; he simply preferred petting cats.

He would pet any cat he saw at Hogwarts.

Of course, aside from the older catgirl Professor McGonagall, I really wouldn't dare pet her.

"Take this to Professor Snape, and he will help you solve this."

Zicomo pulled out a humanoid plant tuber, about the size of a rugby ball, and handed it to Filch.

The young wizards around were amazed by this scene, wondering where Zicomo had pulled it out from.

This thing is a mature mandrake, which can remove the abnormal status of petrification. It was something I picked up during Zikomo's herbalism class.

He often did this, taking a few of Professor Sprout's various herbs into his 'Zen Garden' during herbalism class.

Anyway, he can adjust the time flow in the garden.

He will plant and cultivate another batch after these herbs mature in a few days.

Then give her back what you got from Professor Sprout.

So recently, Professor Sprout has often noticed that a few of his herb plants would mysteriously disappear after class.

Then, after a few days, these plants will reappear, and their quality will be even better than before.

Therefore, she never delved into the issue, but instead longed for her herbs to disappear.

Zicomo only gave this thing to Filch because he couldn't bear to see the cats suffer.

At this moment, the professors also arrived.

"Argus, what happened?" Dumbledore asked first.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Chicomo said my cat is petrified and this stuff can save it. Do you think it's true?"

Filch handed Dumbledore the mandrake from Zicomona.

Zicomo watched from the sidelines, getting increasingly angry.

If you don't trust me, why did you ask me to save your cat?

Wait!

He immediately wrote to Granger's aunt and asked her to get him a batch of high-quality cat grass seeds!

Another batch of premium catnip!

Let's see who your cat will be closer to from now on!

Dumbledore recognized the mandrake the moment he saw it.

This thing can indeed remove petrification.

He didn't rush to answer Filch, but instead looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

Then he saw the words written in blood on the wall.

"Everyone, get back to your dorms immediately!"

Dumbledore decided to evacuate the crowd first.

He then pointed to Harry and the others, saying, "Except for you guys."

He spoke to Filch only after the young wizards had all left.

“Argus, Zicomo is right. Lady Lorris is just petrified; this mandrake root is more than enough to save her.”

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Lockhart, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to show off his peacock feathers.

"Ah! I knew it. It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise it wouldn't have been petrified. By the way, you can give me that mandrake tuber. I happen to know how to make the potion to remove petrification."

However, everyone present looked at him with suspicion.

Dumbledore changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Zicomo, may I ask where you got this mandrake root?"

He was curious why Zicomo happened to have the antidote for Filch's petrified cat.

"As Professor Snape's student, isn't it normal for him to carry some herbs with him?"

Zicomo ignored him, knowing that Dumbledore's paranoia had flared up again, so he just made up a reason.

His words surprised the professors. They hadn't expected that Snape, such an aloof and unsociable person, would find someone to carry on his legacy before they did.

Moreover, this disciple was a genius wizard like Zicomo.

How despicable! They had the same idea.

Everyone originally wanted to observe for another two years, but unexpectedly Snape succeeded first.

Several professors were unwilling to accept this fact. They looked at Snape with questioning eyes, hoping to hear a different version of events from him than Zicomo had.

Snape simply nodded calmly, tacitly agreeing to the matter.

In reality, his relationship with Zicomo was more of a mentor-student and friend relationship, but the professors didn't know that.

Seeing Snape must have made me incredibly jealous.

Professor McGonagall, in particular, had a young wizard from her own house taken in as a disciple by the headmaster of another house, and that house didn't even get along with her own. What kind of situation was this!

Wait a minute! Hermione, who's next to Zicomo, seems to be a promising talent as well.

No, there might be two.

The newcomer, Lani, is supposedly his fiancée.

The girl who is good enough for Zicomo must be pretty good.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the two women beside Zicomo, and several other professors nearby also noticed her gaze and began to have their own ideas.

"So, how was Mrs. Lorris petrified?"

Seeing this, Dumbledore quickly steered the conversation back on track, as the immediate issues were still unresolved.

"Ask him, and he did it. You saw the words he wrote on the wall."

Filch pointed angrily at Harry.
