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

He wanted to use a diversionary tactic, sneaking into the door on the right side of the third-floor corridor's staircase while everyone's attention was on the troll.

But instead, he was bitten by the three-headed dog inside, so he walks with a limp.

Harry shared his guess.

"Wait! You just said there's a three-headed dog in the doorway on the right side of the third-floor corridor?"

Hermione gestured to pause the conversation.

"How did you know?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

Hermione and Zicomo both shook their heads.

"Oh, it's the one we ran into when Ron and I went out at night."

Harry thought back for a moment.

"I was going to tell you this before, but we were just talking about how we almost got caught while we were out at night, and then you caught us and gave us a good scolding."

I forgot to mention it later.

Ron nodded in agreement with Harry.

“Okay, but what’s he going there for?” Hermione was still puzzled.

"He wants what the three-headed dog is guarding."

"So, what was that three-headed dog guarding?"

At this point in the conversation, Zicomo became somewhat curious.

After all, he had already taken the Philosopher's Stone, so what did Dumbledore put in it?

"I don't know. But Hagrid said it's a top secret at Hogwarts."

That day, Hagrid and I went to Diagon Alley, and he took something from Gringotts.

That thing was later stolen, and Dumbledore even made a trip to Diagon Alley because of it.

Later, I saw in the Daily Prophet that the vault Hagrid used to retrieve his belongings had been robbed.

I took the newspaper to Hagrid and asked him about it. He said the one that was stolen was a defective one, and the real one was still at Hogwarts.

I guess that's what the dog was guarding.

Harry explained his reasoning to his friends.

At that moment, Zicomo noticed that Quirrell looked very excited at the teachers' table.

He used his mental perception to detect a very secret eavesdropping spell on Harry.

'Oh dear, I guess Professor Quirrell and our senior Tom already know where the Philosopher's Stone is. But where did Dumbledore get a second Philosopher's Stone? Is he lying?'

Considering Dumbledore's personality, Zicomo thought it was highly likely.

"Ahem, Harry. I think you should eat something now."

Zicomo didn't intend to dwell on the matter and changed the subject.

"After all, you'll be competing soon, which will drain your energy."

“But I don’t have much of an appetite.” Harry sounded a little nervous when the game was mentioned.

Zicomo thought for a moment, then took out his wand and pointed it at his plate.

The food on the plate seemed to have been thrown into a blender and quickly pulverized.

When they turned into a mess, Zicomo waved his wand again.

The paste quickly compressed, turning into a ball the size of a thumb.

"Magic-grade compressed biscuits, please."

Zicomo gestured for Harry to eat it.

"Thank you."

Harry hadn't expected breakfast to be like this. He swallowed the compressed pills with milk.

Just then, his pet Hedwig flew in from outside.

It grabbed a long package and threw it in front of the group.

"I have never received the package."

Harry was curious about who had sent him the things.

"It looks like a broom, let's open it first."

Ron gets excited at the mention of brooms.

Zicomo knew that it was the Nimbus 2000 that Professor McGonagall had given to Harry.

The group unwrapped the outer kraft paper, revealing the broom.

“It’s the Nimbus 2000!” Ron exclaimed.

"But who gave it to me?"

Harry turned to look for Hedwig and found her standing next to Professor McGonagall, basking in her praise.

Professor McGonagall nodded to him, and Harry knew who had sent the gift.

He gave Professor McGonagall a grateful look.

Zicomo noticed that Harry's captain, Wood, was behind Harry.

He looked at Harry with a shocked expression.

Zicomo guessed he was probably thinking to himself:

Is this what they mean by being a nepotism hire?

He still remembered the scene from the original story, when they were waiting to enter.

Seeing that Harry was nervous, Wood comforted him.

He was knocked unconscious by a roaming ball less than two minutes into his game and remained in a coma in the hospital for a week.

When Zicomo saw this, all he could say was, "Good for you, but don't do it again next time."

Looking back now, Wood's words of comfort were somewhat influenced by personal grudges.

…………

On the Quidditch field.

Hermione is cheering for Harry.

As for Zicomo, he was waving the Gryffindor flag listlessly to the side.

To be honest, he really didn't appreciate Quidditch.

Aside from the prohibition of using wands, there are no other rules.

Scoring points is achieved when the Quaffle enters the circle, and the game ends when the Golden Snitch is caught.

The longest match in history reportedly lasted six months.

Didn't they consider the possibility that the Golden Snitch might have gotten lost on its own?

This is even worse than the football he watched in his past life.

At least on the football field, you can see players fighting and tearing each other's clothes off.

It was even more exciting than the game itself.

Influenced by him, Hermione wasn't really into Quidditch either.

She only came to cheer Harry on.

The little witch thought for a moment, then whispered a suggestion in Zikomo's ear:

"Cousin, how about we go check out that three-headed dog Harry mentioned tonight?"

Zicomo was watching the game with a bored expression when Hermione suddenly said that.

He was puzzled, feeling that the little witch had become increasingly daring after the troll incident.

I don't know if it has awakened some strange attribute.

Now I'm even interested in Cerberus.

"No, I prefer cats to dogs."

Zicomo shook his head in refusal.

He was afraid Hermione would drag him to speedrun the Philosopher's Stone level that very night.

They won't be able to handle Dumbledore and Voldemort then.

How will the story of the first grader continue?

Hermione, after hearing Zicomo's words, somehow...

I recall the scene when I turned into a cat and was grabbed by Zicomo and sucked on wildly.
