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

Hermione has seen plenty of dragon corpses; her cousin has a whole bunch of them in his food stash.

However, the one in front of her was different; Hermione recognized it as Draco's dragon.

She asked in bewilderment, "Isn't this Draco's Hydra? How did it suddenly appear here, and why is it dead? Who did it?"

Zicomo shrugged and said, "We'll find out the details by asking him."

Hermione had been squinting and didn't see it, but Zicomo did.

Draco and his son had teleported there before Hydra, so they were currently trapped under the dragon's corpse.

Zicomo waved his hand and used the 'Floating Charm' to move Hydra's body aside.

Fortunately, he had cast a traceless stretching spell on his yard, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to fit a dragon's corpse there.

After Hydra's body was moved, the Malfoys lay there quietly.

Judging from their pale faces, Hermione would have suspected they were dead if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of their chests.

Hermione asked Zicomo, "What's wrong with them?"

Zicomo frowned and said, "They have been corrupted by the power of death."

Hermione was somewhat surprised, as she was familiar with the term "power of death."

Her cousin possesses the power of death.

Moreover, Melina grew up overnight a few days ago, which is said to be due to her mastery of the power of death.

How come there's another person who wields the power of death now?

They also injured the Malfoys.

When did the power of death become so worthless?

Isn't it said that only the Grim Reaper can wield this power?

Could it be that Death died, and His power was divided into several parts?

Her cousin got a share, Melina got a share, and the person who injured the Malfoys also got a share.

If that's the case, I wonder if there are any left?

Hermione said she wanted one too.

Zicomo was unaware that the little witch in his arms was imagining scenes from a fantasy novel.

He approached the Malfoys and their son, channeling the power of death within him.

After the Fated Death merged with Zikomo's original death power, it gave birth to an eerie, purplish-red power.

This power combines the power of Predestined Death, which can kill everything, with the original power of death, which can erode life and create the undead.

Zicomo was too lazy to rename this power, so he continued to call it the power of death.

A crimson power enveloped the Malfoy father and son, drawing out the power of death from their bodies.

As the power of death left their bodies, the Malfoys' complexions gradually regained their rosy hue.

Not long after, the father and son woke up.

They visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Zikomo.

Zicomo asked, "Awake? Can you tell me how you got tainted by this power?"

As he spoke, he brandished the power of death in his hand.

Lucius replied, “We encountered Voldemort, or rather, he came after us. I tried to ambush him with the Killing Curse, but it didn’t work on him.”

"Then he attacked us with this strange power. We were no match for him and were hit while we were running away."

Upon hearing this, Zicomo raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this power of death originated from Voldemort.

This was somewhat unexpected for Zicomo.

He originally thought Voldemort was simply making a comeback after being resurrected with the last Horcrux.

It now seems that Voldemort must have had other adventures.

Zicomo even suspected that Voldemort had made some kind of deal with Death, allowing Death to resurrect him.

He was unaware that he had inadvertently guessed the truth.

Aside from the fact that it was Death who initiated the trade, the facts are almost identical to what Qi777 Cuomo guessed.

Hermione asked, "Cousin, what should we do now? Should we go find Voldemort?"

The little witch had a great time fighting Voldemort last time, and upon hearing news of him, she even wanted to fight him again.

Seeing Hermione's eager expression, Zicomo tapped her on the head.

"Do you know where Voldemort is? Why don't you go find him?"

Zicomo said, "Besides, Voldemort now has the power of death. Even if you find him, you might not be his match."

Hermione wanted to retort, but then she remembered the scene of her cousin using the power of death in the "Zen Garden".

She really didn't have the confidence to deal with that overwhelming army of undead.

So Hermione gave up on refuting it.

She asked, "We can't just leave Voldemort like this, can we?"

This time Voldemort came out to attack the Malfoys, who knows who he will attack next?

Zicomo thought for a moment and said, "First, inform the Ministry of Magic about this. If they still haven't taken action, then I will take action myself."

He had given Harry the disc that could track Bellatrix some time ago.

There has been no word from them so far, and no one knows what Dumbledore is doing.

Chapter 294 Narcissa, the Forgotten One, Draco's Companion

Hermione said, "Then when you help out, will you take me with you?"

The little witch stared at Zicomo with expectant eyes.

Seeing this, Zicomo nodded.

He was confident that facing Voldemort, who possessed the power of death, and protecting Hermione along the way would be no problem.

Besides, Hermione isn't without fighting ability.

When Hermione saw that Chicomo agreed, she cheered, "Great! I'll go write to Dumbledore!"

After saying that, she jumped down from Zicomo's arms and ran into the house.

Zicomo watched her leave, then smiled and shook his head.

They're already adults, yet they're not mature or composed at all.

However, he also liked the little witch's lively spirit.

At this moment, Draco hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Zicomo, do you have any way to bring Hydra back to life?"

After spending several years together, Draco had long regarded Hydra as his partner.

Now that Hydra has died saving him, Draco wants to do something for it.

Zicomo said, "There is definitely a way, but..."

Lucius, who was standing to the side, asked, "But what? Is the price too high? No problem, as long as the Malfoy family can afford it, you can name your terms."

Hydra saved his son, and if he could revive him, Lucius would certainly not hesitate to do so.

“No, that’s not it.” Zicomo shook his head, then continued, “I’m just curious, shouldn’t you be concerned about Narcissa’s safety first?”

He hadn't heard Lucius mention Narcissa earlier, and now he was curious about her whereabouts.

Could it be that this father and son left her alone at home?

"Narcissa!"

Lucius slapped his forehead and turned to Draco, saying, "Your mother is still a guest of the Parkinson family. You stay here for now, I'll go and bring her over."

After saying that, Lucius hurriedly left the Zicomo house.

Zicomo heard an interesting surname from Lucius.

He turned to Draco and asked, "When did your family get involved with the Parkinson's family? It's not like you're going to get involved with that Pansy...?"

"Um, I'm not too sure about that either."

Draco replied, "But my mother once asked me which girls I was close to at school, and I just blurted out Pansy."

"Since then, she has become close to Mrs. Parkinson. There might actually be a chance that she will arrange my engagement."

In reality, his relationship with Pansy was only so-so.

Draco initially used the name Narcissa Ti Pansy simply because Pansy was the only girl he was close to in Slytherin who would often hang around him.

Zikomo stroked his chin and said, "If your mother really has this intention, I suggest you do your best to stop her."

Draco asked, puzzled, "Why? Is there something wrong with Pansy?"
