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

If not, then Voldemort would only have Hufflepuff's cup and Harry's Horcruxes left.

Moreover, this number may soon be reduced by one, because Zicomo has long had its eye on Hufflepuff's gold cup.

He wouldn't allow any of the items belonging to the four founders in his collection to be missing, especially since those items might involve the Hufflepuff legacy.

But that's a story for another time. Zicomo suddenly had an idea: since the Resurrection Stone can bring back the souls of the dead, what about people who have been dead for hundreds of years?

Zicomo put on the Resurrection Stone ring, trying to convey his desire to resurrect Merlin. However, the Resurrection Stone did not respond.

Zicomo then tried with the four founders of Hogwarts, but only Ravenclaw succeeded.

However, the recalled Ravenclaw had no memory of her past life. Zicomo, seeing Ravenclaw's pained and sorrowful expression, waved her away.

It seems that using the resurrection stone to recall the dead is not without conditions. Judging from the current situation, at the very least, one must have sufficient knowledge of the person they want to recall.

Zicomo didn't have a strong enough impression of Merlin or the other three leaders of Hogwarts. Only Ravenclaw, because of the statue of Lorna she left behind, gave Zicomo some knowledge of Ravenclaw herself.

Therefore, Zicomo was able to recall Ravenclaw using the Resurrection Stone.

However, as Zicomo understood, this resurrection stone could not bring the dead back to life; it merely summoned beings that were more real than souls, existing somewhere between reality and illusion.

Moreover, perhaps because Zicomo's impression of Ravenclaw wasn't strong enough, the Ravenclaw he recruited didn't even have any memory of him.

Zicomo removed the resurrection stone ring, curling his lip in disdain. Sure enough, this thing was useless to him. He also possessed the power of death; once he understood the principles behind the resurrection stone, he could even mass-produce it.

Zicomo put away the ring and left the Gaunt mansion.

Before leaving, Zicomo restored all the magic Voldemort had set up on the old house.

Zicomo was curious about what kind of expression Voldemort would have when he returned to the old house to retrieve his Horcruxes, only to find that the house's magic was intact but the Horcruxes had vanished.

However, Zicomo seems to have forgotten that in the original story, it was not Voldemort who first remembered Gaunt's old house, but Dumbledore.

After leaving the old house in Gaunt, Zicomo did not rush home, but went to the nearby cemetery instead.

This is where Voldemort's father, Tom Cruise, is buried.

(Voldemort's full name is Tom Holmes)

Of course, this was also information that Zicomo learned from Voldemort's diary.

After Voldemort killed his father and grandparents, he framed his uncle.

After the Ministry of Magic gathered evidence and issued its verdict, they even thoughtfully sent people to help Voldemort subdue Tom Cruise.

Although Voldemort wished he could tear his Muggle father to pieces, in front of outsiders, he could only obediently bury them.

Voldemort should be thankful he didn't grind his father to dust. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to resurrect his father using the magic of "father's bones, servant's flesh, and enemy's blood."

Zicomo's purpose in coming here was to add some fuel to the fire for Voldemort's future resurrection.

He found Tom? (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

Zicomo waved his hand to open the coffin, Tom? (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated.)

He didn't touch Tom. [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.]

Zicomo then used alchemy to fuse the three skeletons together, maintaining the shape of the human skeleton throughout the process.

This was a very simple matter for Zicomo, whose alchemy had already reached its pinnacle.

Soon, the skeletons of the pig and the snake were completely integrated into Tom's body.

If nothing unexpected happens, Voldemort will be resurrected and causing trouble next semester. I wonder what kind of changes will occur when he uses "his father's bones" laced with something by Chicomo to resurrect him.

Thinking about this, Zicomo suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the day Voldemort would be resurrected.

As for the possibility that Voldemort was caught by Dumbledore in the Albanian forest, Zicomo didn't even consider it.

If Dumbledore had captured Voldemort, he wouldn't still be waiting to return to Hogwarts.

Although Zicomo didn't know what Voldemort's other skills were, he knew that Voldemort was quite adept at framing others and escaping.

Finding a person in such a large forest is not an easy task, let alone the fact that Voldemort was not a person at this moment, but a remnant soul.

It would be incredibly easy for Voldemort to hide; he could simply burrow underground and Dumbledore would be able to spot him.

Who knows, he might already have reunited with Peter Pettigrew and escaped the Albanian forest.

…………

When they got home, it was almost dinnertime. Hermione was already up, and when she saw Zicomo return, she excitedly pounced on him and even gave him a peck on the cheek.

When Hermione and Granger saw their daughter's undisguised behavior, they exchanged a glance and then both gave a helpless smile.

Ever since they learned of the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, they knew that their daughter would one day fall into Zicomo's hands.

Wizards already possess magical powers, and these members of their family, in addition to that, obtained a magic stone that could extend their lifespan. Ordinary worldly customs and etiquette could no longer restrain them.

The couple had discussed Hermione's romantic life, and they both came to the same conclusion: Hermione would probably never be able to leave Zicomo for the rest of her life.

Which girl could resist a man who is powerful, handsome, gentle, and considerate, and who can also grant her immortality?

A man like that is so rare, you couldn't find one even if you held up the sun, let alone a lantern.

From this perspective, Hermione is undoubtedly lucky, because she doesn't need to look; such a man is right beside her.

After that discussion, the Grangers had come to terms with Hermione's feelings for Chicomo and didn't want to interfere further, letting things take their natural course.

However, Hermione fell for him much faster than they had imagined.

But since they have decided not to interfere anymore, they have no choice but to accept this fact.

Zicomo was quite intelligent, and he naturally guessed the little witch's purpose in dealing with Hermione's actions.

He simply wanted to test her parents' attitude toward the matter. From Zicomo's perspective, he could see the helpless smiles on the Grangers' faces.

The Grangers also noticed Zicomo's gaze. Mr. Granger pointed to his forehead, indicating that Zicomo should connect with him mentally to communicate.

Chapter 171 The Enlightened Lady Granger, and Lani's Character

Zicomo had previously used telepathy to communicate with the Grangers. Furthermore, after Hermione mastered projecting her telepathy, she would occasionally use it to communicate with her parents for convenience. Therefore, the Grangers were no strangers to telepathic communication.

After Zicomo's mental connection was established with the Grangers, he heard Mr. Granger's deliberately serious voice.

"You brat, how dare you make a move on my daughter! You've got some nerve!"

Zicomo gave an awkward smile and remained silent. He couldn't very well tell Mr. Granger that it was his daughter who was after him, could he?

Although he had his own ideas, he planned to wait until Hermione came of age before taking action, but he didn't expect the little witch to fall for him on her own.

Fortunately, Mrs. Granger came to his rescue. She glared at Mr. Granger and said, "Enough! A grown man scaring a child, isn't that shameful?"

Mr. Granger immediately dropped his serious expression, revealing his true position within the family.

Mrs. Granger continued to say to Zicomo, “My child, Hermione is my daughter, and I know her very well. Once she sets her mind on something, she’ll throw herself at it without hesitation.”

"She's set her sights on you now, and you're so outstanding. Your aunt knows she's destined to be inseparable from you. So your aunt is begging you to take good care of her."

Upon hearing this, Zicomo asked in surprise, "You don't object? I already have a fiancée."

Mrs. Granger rolled her eyes and said, "What's the use of objecting? Even if I forcibly separate you two and kick you out of the house, can we keep Hermione locked up? With her current abilities, do you believe she would run away with you without hesitation?"

Zicomo thought about it and realized that, given the little witch's personality, it might actually be true.

Mrs. Granger continued, "Moreover, you possess the magical powers of a wizard, and the Philosopher's Stone, a treasure that can grant immortality. Worldly customs and etiquette naturally have no effect on you."

“Excellent men are never short of women. Even if you don’t want to, you will have more and more women around you in the future. Your aunt only hopes that you can take good care of Hermione and not neglect her.”

Mrs. Granger's attitude deeply moved Zicomo. Could such an open-minded and wonderful mother-in-law really exist?

Zicomo solemnly assured her, "Don't worry, Aunt. I will take good care of Hermione!"

Mrs. Granger nodded in satisfaction; Zicomo's attitude pleased her greatly.

In fact, there was another reason why she felt comfortable entrusting Hermione to Zicomo: she knew Zicomo inside and out.

Mrs. Granger had seen what kind of person Zicomo was over the years.

He's mature, stable, responsible, and even cooks at home. He spoils Hermione even more than she does, practically pampering her to the extreme. No wonder Hermione fell for him so quickly.

That's why Mrs. Granger was so confident in entrusting Hermione to him.

“Oh, right!” Mrs. Granger suddenly remembered something and looked at Zicomo to remind her, “You and Hermione are still young, remember to wait until you are adults to do some things.”

Mrs. Granger's words were pointed, and Zicomo understood her meaning, nodding silently.

Does he look like such a lustful person?

Besides, Hermione is so young, he just can't bring himself to do it!

He is an alchemist, not a philanderer.

For a player of a simulation game, the only time to pick and eat a fruit is when it is fully ripe.

(Fruit farmer Xisuo appreciates your words and gave it a thumbs up)

Fearing that Mrs. Granger would continue on this topic, Zicomo quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Aunt, should we tell Hermione about this?"

Mrs. Granger thought for a moment, then decisively shook her head and said, "Let me handle this matter."

When Lady Granger says a few words to Hermione, she immediately hides behind Chicomo. The little witch, emboldened by Chicomo's favoritism, has begun to show signs of becoming increasingly unruly.

If Hermione finds out that they've already agreed to her being with Zicomo, the little witch's tail will probably be wagging like crazy.
