Log In to The Old Man Ring At Hogwarts at the Start

Yes, since Snape wrote to Dumbledore, informing him that Voldemort was in the Albanian forest, Dumbledore had completely settled the matter.

Snape will officially take up the role of acting principal when school starts next semester.

"If you really want to get one, it's not impossible, prepare a certain amount of dragon blood, I will help you refine it and strengthen the bloodline for the dragon egg. Zicomo replied.

"How much dragon blood?" Snape asked.

"If you advance to Yalong, the blood of a hundred flying dragons will do. If it is a giant dragon, you need at least a thousand to start. Of course, if there are complete dragon corpses, the number can be discounted in half.

Snape barely choked on the food in his mouth.

Hundreds of dragons, and the dragon farms that he traveled all over the British wizarding world probably couldn't get them together?

"Cough, it's alright, let's eat." Snape stopped talking about raising dragons.

After the dinner, everyone sat in the living room chatting.

"By the way, what happened to Lockhart?" Snape asked suddenly.

"What?" Zicomo didn't realize what Snape was asking.

"That's why Lockhart replaced Lucius as Hogwarts trustee?

"Oh, that's what you said. I asked him to do that. This is my deal with Lucius. He quit the school board, and I sent someone on it."

"Lucius agreed so easily?"

"Of course, he wanted to take advantage of the basilisk attack to remove Dumbledore last semester, and coerced some school directors into signing consent forms. Rather than staying in that position and being unpopular, it's better to give it up."

Snape's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't say anything more.

Zicomo knew why he was looking like this, since Snape and Lockhart had gotten to know each other in dueling class last semester, the two of them hadn't dealt much with each other.

It was like Snape meeting James Potter at school.

But the relationship between Snape and Lockhart wasn't that bad, just looking at each other badly and smiling and not showing that feeling.

The two were colleagues before, but now Snape became the acting principal, and Lockhart backhandedly joined the school board.

Zicomo didn't bother to take care of this matter. At most, the two of them would just meet and fight. Anyway, if they couldn't cause any fatalities, let them pull each other.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to start school, and Zicomo didn't run around anymore during this time.

Spend the day at home teasing Ifrit, or fishing with Mr. Granger in the "Zen Garden" and watching the small animals play in the garden.

In the evening, she and Lani were exploring the secrets hidden in the royal city in the borderland.

Saying goodbye to the Grangers, Zicomo boarded the Hogwarts Express with Lanne and Hermione.

After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Luna and Penello arrived side by side, so the carriage once again became the situation before the holiday.

On the left and right sides of Zicomo are La Ni and Luna, opposite Penello and Hermione.

The door of the carriage opened, and a middle-aged man with a sparse hairline looked tired. He was standing at the door with a suitcase, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Zicomo glanced at the name on his suitcase: Remus John John Lupin.

"Professor Lupin, is there something `||?" Zicomo asked aloud.

Lupin came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I was just looking for an empty carriage and wanted to take a break. By the way, how did you know my name and occupation?"

"Your name is written on your suitcase, and the flight attendants on this train are generally women. Judging from the appearance of your suit and leather shoes, you are still an unfamiliar face. It is not difficult to infer that you are a new Defence Against the Dark Arts and Counterattack class this year. professor.

In fact, Zicomo's reasoning was all made up, and he recognized Lupin when he saw the name on the suitcase.

As the last member of James Potter's group of four, how could he not know Lupin the werewolf?

To Zicomo's surprise, Dumbledore still called Lupin back.

Speaking of which, I don't know if Voldemort's curse on this course has been lifted. Lockhart did stay in this position for a full year last semester, but he finally resigned because of Zicomo's request.

So Zicomo doesn't know if this counts as lifting the curse.

Lupin, on the other hand, was shocked by Zicomo's reasoning.

"Very keen insight, you are a student of Ravenclaw, right? It's a pity that the school has not officially started yet, otherwise I will definitely give you ten points." Lupin praised.

"Sorry, Professor Lupin, I'm a Gryffindor," Zicomo replied, "If you want to rest, I recommend you go to the car next door, there's no one there right now.

Lupin said thank you with a stiff smile, turned and left.

He was very puzzled, looking at the yin and yang of the car, the standard Ravenclaw configuration, how could Zicomo be a Gryffindor?

Gryffindor's brain is so good?

Or is the Sorting Hat old enough to start assigning little wizards the wrong house?

Lupin can't understand, his current mental state is not enough to support his thinking.

He lived a solitary life in a remote place until Dumbledore invited him back to teach at Hogwarts.

Before boarding the train, he had gone through a long journey and was already exhausted physically and mentally.

After arriving in the next compartment, Lupin fell asleep on the seat.

On Zicomo's side, not long after Lupin left, his friends came to visit one after another.

Draco opened Zicomo's carriage, but he didn't expect it to be the same scene as last semester's vacation.

With a high emotional intelligence, he naturally wouldn't be a light bulb here, so he said "excuse me" and left here.

He found an empty car and went to communicate with his Hydra.

As for his two attendants, he had long forgotten where they went.

After Draco left, Harry and Ronald followed. The two of them didn't linger when they saw the scene of the carriage. After saying hello, they came to Lupin's carriage next door.

Ronald dragged Harry into chattering about his summer Eki travel experience, much to Lupin's displeasure.

Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of the conversation on the other side.

Didn't this little wizard see someone sleeping on the other side?

Lupin opened his eyes slightly and saw the two people sitting across from him.

Ronald's red hair was so familiar to him that he didn't need to ask him to know it was definitely the Weasleys.

Even more familiar to him was Harry next to Ronald, with a face almost identical to James Potter's when he was young, and Lupin instantly recognized who he was.

The anger he had just woken up vanished instantly, and Lupin closed his eyes again and remained silent.

He was going to listen to the conversation between the two of them first, and see how Harry's life had been all these years.

"..so, do you know about Sirius Black's escape?" Ronald suddenly brought the topic to this point.

"Yes, I saw that paper too," Harry replied.

He didn't tell Ronald the news of Sirius, it's not that he didn't trust Ronald, but that Scabbers was in this car at this time.

Harry knew that now was not the time.

"My father asked me to remind you that he escaped from prison to kill you, and he told you to be careful."

Harry nodded, but he didn't care. He had been living with Sirius these days. If Sirius really wanted to kill him, he might have died long ago.

After so many days together, Harry had long believed in what Sirius said at Zicomo's house.

But because there is no evidence, he can't confirm it yet.

The truth of the incident was the most crucial piece of the puzzle, and that piece of the puzzle was in Ronald's hands at this time.

Luckily Lupin was closing his eyes, otherwise he would have seen the spots on Ronald's hand.

In case he recognizes Peter Pettigrew, maybe he will do something terrifying.

At this time, Peter Pettigrew obviously recognized Lupin, and he shivered silently in Ronald's arms, for fear of being seen by Lupin on the opposite side.

The train continued to move, and in the evening, it rained in the sky. The gloomy (Nuo Qian Zhao) weather makes ordinary people feel bored.

But Zicomo's carriage was still full of laughter.

Then the train suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

Zicomo stretched out his mental strength and glanced around, and found that the train was surrounded by a group of black plastic bags.

"Looks like a villain is coming.

Hermione also showed her mental power, and then she saw a group of monsters floating in the air, their faces covered by black cloth, only showing two big bony hands.

"It's the Dementors! Aren't they Azkaban's guards? Why are they here?

"Probably looking for a fugitive," Zicomo said casually.

"You mean they're hunting for Sirius?

"uh-huh.""

Zicomo confirmed Hermione's guess.

At first glance, it is obvious that it is the handwriting of Fudge's sloppy Minister of Magic.

According to Zicomo's knowledge, Aurors need to pay extra wages when they go out to work. Fudge probably didn't want to pay this money, so he thought of hiring Dementors as free labor decorations.

And Sirius escaped under their guard, and Fudge had reason to order them to take Sirius back.

PS: I have something to do during the day and have no code words, so today's update is relatively late, sorry.
