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

Therefore, it is estimated that the wizarding world will be in turmoil for some time.

But none of that concerns her.

After all, she and her cousin will be boarding the train home early tomorrow morning, returning to the Muggle world.

For now, let's enjoy the triumvirate victory and the joy that Zicomo brings her.

…………

Time flew by and it was the next morning. With the Hogwarts Express setting off, the young wizards officially embarked on their journey home.

As for last night's banquet, there's not much to say; it was no different from a typical victory celebration.

It was exhausting for Hermione, the main character of the dinner party.

Throughout the entire banquet, the smile on her face never stopped.

She received a constant stream of congratulations from people she knew and didn't know.

As a result, Hermione didn't eat much at all during the entire dinner, which exhausted her.

The little witch even felt that even spending a whole day doing experiments with her cousin wasn't as tiring as attending this banquet.

Hermione hadn't recovered yet, and she had transformed into an Animagus cat, nestled in Zicomo's arms and fast asleep.

Although Hermione had transformed into her cat form, Zicomo's carriage still had a capacity of five people.

They are Zicomo, Lani, Penelope, Luna, and Fleur.

Yes, Furong was also in this carriage.

She graduated from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.

Having developed feelings for Zicomo, or rather, having fallen in love with him, she chose to stay in England.

She hadn't decided what to do yet, but she was definitely sticking with Zicomo.

Furong, from the land of romance, is very open and proactive when it comes to love. If she likes a boy, she will let him know.

Her intentions are quite clear now that she is staying in England and following Zicomo.

Zicomo responded that if she wanted to follow, so be it; he had nothing to lose anyway.

What's more, having several beautiful women around you every day is pleasing to the eye and adds to your mood.

After the train arrived at the station, Zicomo looked at Furong, who still hadn't decided where to go.

Ultimately, it was decided that Furong could stay at their home temporarily.

(Furong: Actually, it's not that I haven't made up my mind, but I'm waiting for someone I like to take me in, hehe!)

After all, they've traveled thousands of miles and left their hometown to follow you, so you can't just leave them without any thanks, can you?

That's just inhuman.

Hermione said she had no objection to this.

Thanks to Furong's strong interpersonal skills, the two, despite being rivals in the three-way competition, usually get along very well.

In Hermione's view, taking in a female classmate she was on good terms with for a few days was not an unacceptable thing.

Of course, Hermione could see perfectly well that Fleur was lusting after her cousin's body.

But Lani, Zicomo's fiancée, wasn't in a hurry. So why was she in such a rush?

The little witch has now completely come to terms with these things.

Even if she gains more sisters in the future, she will always be the most special one in Zicomo's eyes.

After all, no one else can be like her—Zicomo's cousin, Zicomo's darling, and Zicomo's little kitten all at the same time.

Moreover, she had already eaten the first bite of meat, even ahead of Lani, the official wife.

This alone is enough to give her a special place in Zicomo's heart.

Hermione, confident and fearless, remained completely unperturbed.

Thinking of the experiment she did with Zicomo the night before last, the little witch licked her lips with a hint of smug satisfaction.

Thinking to myself, I should ask my cousin to continue doing experiments with me tonight.

Once outside the platform, the Grangers waited for Zicomo and the others a short distance away.

When the Grangers saw Furong next to Zicomo, even though they hadn't exchanged any words, the same thought tacitly popped into their minds.

Could it be that their daughter used magic to give herself a major plastic surgery because she was unhappy with her appearance?

In reality, Hermione was still hiding in Zicomo's arms in her cat-like form.

However, the Grangers were unaware of Hermione's Animagus form, which led to the misunderstanding.

The couple approached Fleur and cautiously called out, "Hermione?"

Hermione lifted her head from Zicomo's embrace, wondering what her parents were up to.

Why is he calling out his name to Furong?

Zicomo could tell from the Grangers' behavior that they must have misunderstood something.

He lifted up Hermione, the cat in his arms, and said, "Uncle and Aunt, Hermione is here."

When the Grangers realized their daughter had only turned into a cat and hadn't had a major plastic surgery, they were relieved... What a load of rubbish!

This seems more serious than plastic surgery, doesn't it?

Even the species has changed!

Mrs. Granger asked incredulously, "Hermione, how did you turn into a cat?"

Hermione was about to speak when Zicomo covered her mouth.

Zicomo said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go home first."

The station entrance is full of Muggles, and if they find out that the cat can talk, Zicomo will have to spend time erasing their memories.

Zicomo led the group to a secluded corner and Apparated back to Granger's house.

Once home, Hermione jumped off Zicomo's arms and transformed back into human form.

The Grangers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hermione return to normal.

Lady Granger asked Hermione, "What kind of magic is this?"

Hermione explained, "These are Animagus, which can transform into an animal depending on the wizard's personality."

Mrs. Granger exclaimed, "It really is amazing magic."

Hermione asked, "More than that, I'd like to know why you mistook Fleur for me?"

As she spoke, Hermione pointed to Fleur beside her.

The Grangers exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat awkward.

They can't exactly say that they thought their daughter was unhappy with her appearance and went to get plastic surgery, can they?

It would be even more embarrassing if I said it out loud!

"So your classmate's name is Furong! Welcome to our home!"

Mrs. Granger quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, why haven't I heard you mention Furong before?"

The blatant attempt to change the subject was obvious to everyone present.

However, since Fleur was a guest, Hermione couldn't just leave her standing there.

The little witch temporarily set aside her doubts and introduced it to the Granger couple: "This is Hibiscus... [unintelligible text]..."

"It's normal that you haven't heard me mention this before, because we only met this semester."

Hermione briefly recounted to the Grangers how she met Fleur.

After listening, Mrs. Granger asked curiously, "What is the Triwizard Tournament?"

Hermione was somewhat surprised, and she did not answer Mrs. Granger's question.

Instead, he turned to Zicomo and asked: ...

Chapter 261 Furong's Thoughts and Employment Issues

Hermione asked Zicomo, "Cousin, didn't you tell my parents?"

She remembered that her cousin would send letters home every week. There was no reason why he wouldn't have mentioned something as important as the Three Kingdoms Tournament.

Zicomo rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think my aunt and uncle would feel if I wrote to them saying that you're about to go fight a fire dragon?"

The Grangers were just Muggles, and unlike him, they didn't know Hermione's abilities.

If you told them that their daughter was participating in such a dangerous competition, wouldn't they be worried to death?

Hearing Zicomo's question, Hermione also realized the problem.

Although Mrs. Granger did not yet know what the Triwizard Tournament was, she grasped a key point from Zicomo's words.

Did her daughter run off to fight the fire dragon?

Good heavens! Going to wizard school? Is it that exciting?
