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

At first, Snape thought he was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy like Merlin, but now he suspected that Zicomo was a god playing games with the mortal world.

Recalling the imposing aura he had once felt from Zicomo's fiancée, Snape became even more certain of his guess.

Zicomo had no idea that Snape had thought so much in such a short time.

But he knew that Snape had just suffered a great shock, so Zicomo decided to help him recover.

He waved his hand casually and said, "I am who I am, Zicomo, your student who is both a teacher and a friend."

Snape was slightly taken aback when he heard this; he hadn't expected Zicomo to give such an answer.

“You’re right.” Snape smiled with relief.

Yes, Zicomo's willingness to tell him these secrets demonstrates his trust in him.

All he needed to know was that Zicomo was both his teacher and friend, his student.

With that in mind, he then raised the remaining questions.

"And what about that golden tree?"

"You can think of it as the foundation of this space."

"world Tree?"

"No, after all, the world won't grow up on that."

Zicomo mentally added a 'maybe' to the end of that sentence, who knows if it will grow to that extent in the future.

"Okay, then what about the herbs nearby? Could it be that the tree can accelerate the growth of the herbs?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that the flow of time is different. In fact, I can adjust the flow of time in this space, within a range of up to a hundred times."

After the Golden Tree was watered with the blood of the Blood Dynasty and absorbed the Great Rune of Monger.

The maximum time flow rate of "Zen Garden" has successfully exceeded one hundred.

As for the new Mang's Power Drops produced by the Golden Tree, their effect is: to grant your summoned creatures the ability to restore the user's health when they defeat enemies.

Since becoming a god, the power of these drops has become of little use to Zicomo.

So he didn't intend to absorb it, but rather planned to use it to train his subordinates or give it away later.

Snape's lips twitched after hearing Zicomo's words.

He wanted to complain a bit: was it the Golden Tree's ability to accelerate herb growth that was exaggerated, or was it your ability to manipulate time that was more exaggerated?

But either way, it's a good thing for him.

As a potion master, the most unbearable thing is when you want to brew a certain potion, you have all the other materials, but you need to prepare the herbs separately.

Different potions have different requirements for herbs, which may be related to freshness or age; in short, it's quite troublesome.

Now that he knows there's such a wonderful place in Zicomo, he can just come to Zicomo for herbs whenever he needs them, which is even more convenient than going to Professor Sprout.

Of course, he wasn't the kind of person to take things for free; he also had a collection of seeds of some precious herbs that Zikomo didn't have.

He can use this as payment.

"Could you tell me about your... uh, pets?" Snape then asked.

“You know Iro, my owl.”

"Claudia, that is, the unicorn, was rescued by me in the Forbidden Forest when I was a freshman."

"After I rescued the cat Loris, she decided to live with me and spend her old age here."

"I think that little snake monster will be pretty cool when it grows up, so I got one as a pet."

“Laya is a special case; strictly speaking, she is Lani’s niece.”

At this point, Laya raised her front paw and waved to Snape.

"As for this viper, her name is Nagini, and she used to be a cursed blood beastman."

At this point, Zikomo briefly recounted their experience in the Albanian forest.

Snape never expected that Zicomo's trip would lead him to Voldemort's lair, and even expose him to some medieval secrets.

This was something even he didn't know; the history of that period of witch hunts was probably only recorded by those large families.

Knowing Voldemort's whereabouts, Snape showed no panic whatsoever.

Having witnessed Zicomo's "Zen Garden," I gained a new understanding of Zicomo's identity.

Snape is no longer worried about whether Voldemort will make a comeback.

Just kidding, he has two powerful figures who seem to be gods by his side, what is a mere Dark Lord compared to him?

No rush, no rush, let's enjoy the fishing fun that Mr. Granger is talking about first.

At this point, Snape had asked most of the questions that had been on his mind.

The two leaned back on the lakeside lounge chairs, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

After a long pause, Snape finally asked, "What about Voldemort?"

“You could write a letter to Dumbledore,” Zicomo said casually. “Didn’t he want to find Voldemort’s Horcruxes? Now, not only have he found the Horcruxes, but he’s also located Voldemort himself.”

Snape nodded; it was indeed a good idea to leave this kind of thing to Dumbledore.

He wasn't in a hurry to avenge Lily.

Even if Dumbledore dealt with that remnant soul, Voldemort still had other Horcruxes, and he still had a chance to avenge Lily himself.

As for asking him to go find Voldemort now, let's forget about it.

His Lillian wasn't even a year old yet, and as a father, he couldn't irresponsibly abandon his daughter and go on a long trip.

…………

While Zicomo was enjoying a peaceful and happy life, things were quite different for Harry.

Harry has been feeling a bit down lately, or more accurately, a bit bored.

The Weasleys recently won the Galleon Prize from the Daily Prophet, a prize of 700 Galleons.

The excited family decided to go on a trip to Eid, which greatly disappointed Harry, who had originally planned to visit Ron.

He then wrote to Zicomo, but received a reply from Mrs. Granger instead.

The letter said that Zicomo had also gone on a trip, leaving Harry with nothing to do but stay at home.

His aunt and uncle stopped speaking ill of him, but they still treated him like a stranger.

So he usually stays in his room and chats with Hedwig.

Thanks to Hermione for inventing the "Animal Communication Charm," which kept him from being bored and staying in his room.

Speaking of Hermione, her paper has already been published in The Wizarding Weekly.

With Lockhart's help, everything went smoothly.

At the Daily Prophet's, Hermione, following Zicomo's instructions, wrote a tutorial on the spell and sent it over, specifically requesting that the newspaper's editor, Barnabas Langsson, write it.

As for why this was done, we must mention Rita Liya, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

She is skilled at hyping things up and spreading rumors, exaggerating events to attract attention.

It is said that she also published "Albus Xu's Poems".

Um... it seems she guessed right on this.

Zicomo certainly didn't want to see in the Daily Prophet that Hermione invented the spell because of some bizarre reason, such as being heartbroken and having no choice but to entrust her emotions to animals.

However, the special correspondent seemed undeterred, adding a note at the end of the newspaper that he would be going to Hogwarts to interview Hermione after the start of the school year.

The camera returns to Harry.

That evening, Harry was bored staying in his room alone and decided to go out for a walk.

The dim street was illuminated only by the faint glow of the streetlights, and the cool night breeze ruffled his hair.

Suddenly, Harry felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

Harry turned his head and saw a large black dog silently staring at him from the entrance of an alley.

He walked towards the big black dog and said, "Are you all alone too?"

Harry reached out to touch the big black dog's head, but the dog's eyes flickered, and it ultimately chose to dodge away.

Harry wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the big black dog in front of him was looking at him with a very complicated gaze, as if it were full of guilt.

With that in mind, he tried to communicate with the big black dog in front of him using the "Animal Communication Spell".

Surprisingly, the large dog in front of him did not resist Harry's spell.

Hello, can you understand me?

Sirius's eyes were filled with shock. He clearly saw that Harry's mouth did not move, so why did he hear Harry's voice?

Sirius is the name of this big black dog; to be precise, he is an Animagus.

His full name is Sirius Black.

Twelve years ago, he was supposed to be the Keeper of the Secrets of the Harry Family's Loyalty Charm, protecting Voldemort from discovering their existence.

As a result, at his suggestion, Harry's father was replaced by Peter Pettigrew, whom he considered very reliable.
