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

Once he has a complete plan, he can begin to act.

…………

On Zicomo's side.

Upon returning inside, Zicomo discovered that Lucius had brought Narcissa back.

Zicomo asked, "So, what are your plans next?"

Lucius replied, "We're planning to find a house nearby and stay there temporarily. What's your opinion...?"

Now, it's unclear whether Malfoy Manor is safe or not.

Although the Malfoys have other residences, who knows if Voldemort will find them again?

Lucius felt it was safer to live near Zicomo's house.

So he plans to temporarily become neighbors with the Zicomo family.

Of course, all of this still requires Zicomo's consent.

If Zicomo doesn't want him living nearby, Lucius will wisely leave with his wife and children and find a secluded place to hide for a while.

"I have no objection."

Zicomo pointed in the direction of the next house and said, "But there's a crematorium next to my house. Are you sure you want to move in?"

The Granger family home is located in the suburbs, and the buildings are quite far apart.

Lucius pointed in another direction and said, "Isn't there another family over there? I'll go ask them if they'd be willing to rent their house to us temporarily."

He saw it when he came in; there was a house right next to Zikomo's house, which was the perfect choice for them to stay temporarily.

Lucius had not considered the fact that the homeowner did not want to rent the house.

At worst, we can just use magic to "borrow" it, right?

Zicomo nodded and said, "That's true. Given your relationship with him, renting you a few rooms shouldn't be a problem."

On the other side of Zicomo, next door, lived the Snape family.

When Draco discovered this, Snape forbade him from revealing Snape's address to anyone, including Lucius.

The main reason was that Snape was afraid that his enemies would come after him and harm Leia.

However, Leia has now transformed into a Brilliant Stone Wizard, just like Snape.

And they already possess a certain level of combat capability.

In this way, Snape no longer needed to worry about his address being leaked.

At least I don't have to hide it from my friends anymore.

Therefore, Zicomo is no longer hiding Snape's address.

Chapter 296 Zicomo's New Neighbor, Dumbledore's Visit

Lucius was a little confused.

Does Zicomo's statement mean he knows the person living next door?

Lucius had no recollection of knowing any Muggles.

Could it be that he's a friend of the wizarding world?

Lucius thought of one person: Draco's godfather, Snape.

Lucius asked Zicomo, "Snape doesn't live next door, does he?"

Zicomo nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

Lucius thought to himself, "Wow!"

I never expected Snape to be so shrewd, arranging such a safe place to stay so early on.

Lucius had originally planned to use magic to "stay at the neighbor's place" if Zicomo's neighbors disagreed.

It now appears that this method is no longer feasible.

They could only try to talk to Snape and see if he would allow their family to stay at his house temporarily.

If that's not possible, then he'll have to settle for a place even further away from Zikomo's home.

However, given his relationship with Snape, it shouldn't be a problem.

And his son Draco!

Lucius suddenly remembered that his son often came to Zicomo's house to play.

It's impossible that they didn't know Snape lived next door.

However, Draco didn't tell him about this, which means his son needs to be taught a lesson.

Draco, who was in the backyard pouring out his heart to Hydra, felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly sneezed.

Hydra asked with concern, "What... happened?"

Draco shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

He suddenly had a bad feeling, but Draco didn't take it to heart.

The camera then returns to Lucius's side.

After learning that Snape lived next door, he bid farewell to Zicomo.

Lucius planned to visit his old friend and mention the matter of staying overnight to Snape.

After Lucius left, Hermione came out of the room.

Zicomo asked, "Finished writing the letter?"

Hermione replied, "Yes, I also asked Dumbledore why the Ministry of Magic hasn't taken any action for so long."

Zicomo nodded; Hermione understood him.

That's exactly what he wanted to ask.

It had been half a month since he handed the disc that tracked Bellatrix to Harry.

However, for the past two weeks, the disc has remained completely still.

The Ministry of Magic was as quiet as a stagnant pool.

I wonder what Dumbledore is up to?

…………

That night, the Malfoys stayed at the Snape's house.

Zicomo also contributed to this.

Yeah, the kind where you're half-forced.

It's unclear what Lucius and Snape discussed.

Anyway, not long after, Snape came to him, citing Zicomo's leak of his address without consulting him.

Zicomo helped expand the space in his house using the 'Seamless Stretch Charm'.

After all, it's still too crowded for two families to live in one house.

For Zicomo, this was an easy task.

In addition, Leah said she would treat the Malfoys to a big meal tonight to welcome them.

Zicomo accepted the meal as payment for his service.

As a result, the Snape house was expanded by Zicomo more than twice its original size.

The Malfoys moved into two guest rooms at the Snape's house.

It's already dinner time.

The Malfoys, the Snape family, and the Chicomo family were having dinner together at the Snape family's house.

Thanks to the magic, and with the help of the house-elves in Zicomo's household.

Leah didn't have to do much to prepare dinner for more than a dozen people.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the lively conversation, everyone suddenly heard the doorbell ring from the neighboring house of Zikomo.

It's not that Zicomo's doorbell is very loud; you can hear it even through several walls.

It was because everyone present was a wizard, whose senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people.

Zicomo extended his mental energy, wanting to see who this person who had come to visit their home so late at night was.

Zicomo scanned his front door with his mental energy and recognized who had come in.

I never expected it to be Dumbledore.

Zicomo got up and walked toward Snape's door.

Dumbledore rang the doorbell again and suddenly heard the door next door open.

He turned his head and saw Zicomo come out of the next room.
