Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

P.S.: Many people disliked the weakening of the protagonist, so the buff was changed to [Death's Gaze: Outside of combat, you are plagued by bad luck.]

The protagonist's physique remains at 40 points, but he still maintains a duel with Ron.

As for Death, just pretend I'm not alive and I'm forcing myself to do this. I won't let Death be the final boss.

Thank you all so much for following this series.

Revised chapters: Chapters 108, 110, and 113

--------

Dumbledore was now almost certain that the locket was a Horcrux.

Horcruxes cannot be destroyed by conventional means, as Kreacher proved, spending over a decade trying to destroy this locket without success.

However, during the last locked-room mystery, Tom's diary was quickly destroyed.

Kevin easily pierced it with the basilisk's fangs.

Was it a coincidence, or did Kevin already know?

Thinking of this, Dumbledore looked at Kevin with a puzzled expression once again.

He had long felt that Kevin's behavior was unusual, as if he knew something that others didn't.

In the first year, he clearly killed Quirrell, who was being possessed by Voldemort, yet he went to the unnecessary trouble of having Harry touch Quirrell.

It was as if they knew that conventional methods wouldn't be able to kill Voldemort.

The following year, his predictions about the basilisk were too accurate, and after the basilisk was killed and he stopped Tom, he pulled out the basilisk's fangs without thinking and used them to destroy the diary.

It was as if they already knew that the snake fang was the only thing that could destroy the Horcrux at the time.

In the third year, he seemed to have no ill intentions towards Sirius from beginning to end, and kept subtly telling Harry that Sirius might not be a bad person and that they should find out the truth.

It was as if they already knew that Sirius wasn't the killer.

In the fourth year, without his own knowledge, he discovered that the Professor Moody he knew was an imposter, and that Moody was actually impersonating Barty Jr. to get close to Voldemort.

It was as if they had known Voldemort's plan all along.

Now, he has precisely located Voldemort's Horcrux from a pile of ordinary junk.

Kevin is indeed very smart; he is the smartest genius he has ever seen.

But are there some things that intelligence alone can help us know?

However, just as Dumbledore looked at Kevin, Kevin himself was also thinking.

Kevin knew that Horcruxes were definitely difficult to destroy, but he didn't actually have a clear standard for how difficult they were.

He hadn't seen the later parts of the seventh book, so he didn't know much about the Horcruxes.

Judging from the fact that Kreacher hasn't been able to destroy the Horcrux for over a decade, it must be exceptionally difficult.

Insufficient output?

However, even with his 40 points of constitution and magic enchantment, he couldn't inflict any damage.

If it's not a numerical issue, then it must be a mechanism issue?

The following year, he destroyed Tom's diary.

At the time, he didn't feel it was that difficult.

Could it be because of the snake's fangs?

Can the basilisk's teeth destroy Horcruxes?

Kevin quickly realized that the thing he had casually discarded after using it was actually a weapon that could destroy Horcruxes!

That was hasty; we don't even know if the basilisk's corpse is still there.

If he's not there, we're doomed...

After Kevin finished thinking, he looked up and found Dumbledore looking at him with such a complex expression that it made Kevin a little uneasy.

"What's wrong, Principal...?"

Kevin asked timidly.

Dumbledore shook his head, said nothing, and looked away.

This left Kevin even more confused.

Dumbledore only thought about it for a short while before giving up.

So many years have passed, which is enough to prove Kevin's goodness.

He had long since forged a deep friendship with Harry and the others, and even if he knew something, he certainly wouldn't harm them.

Who doesn't have secrets these days?

Give Kevin more work next time.

Dumbledore thought to himself, because he suddenly understood why Snape enjoyed making things difficult for Kevin.

If you don't push Kevin a little, you won't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve.

When school starts, it will be time to let Kevin and the others see the memories related to Voldemort's youth.

The sooner we can deduce the location and number of Horcruxes Voldemort has hidden, the sooner we can defeat him.

I should have invited Horace to be a professor this year.

However, he probably won't agree to that so easily...

These thoughts happened in an instant. After Dumbledore looked away, he put the locket away.

"I will keep this locket for now."

"Harry, Kevin, since we're cleaning the house anyway, you two can check if there are any unusual items in this old house."

"The key is that it is an indestructible object that is immune to any spells."

Dumbledore looked at Harry and Kevin and said.

The two nodded; it didn't matter since they were both cleaning the house anyway.

However, Harry was still very curious about what this locket was and why Voldemort would go to such lengths to hide it.

Dumbledore said he needed to gather more information and would talk to Harry and the others after school started.

After giving a few more instructions to the adults, Dumbledore left with the locket.

The mess that was everywhere has long been cleaned up, and everyone is going back to what they were doing.

Sirius seems to be feeling a bit melancholy.

He went up to the fifth floor alone, where Regulus's room was located.

The sign on the door reads: No one may enter without my permission – R.A.B.

Upon entering his room and seeing it filled with Slytherin elements that he hated most, Sirius sighed.

......

"Kevin, what do you think that locket could be?"

At night, in Kevin's room, Harry lay on his bed and asked Kevin a question.

"Do you remember Tom's memory from second grade?"

"It should be similar to that, something about Voldemort's soul."

"Voldemort possessed Quirrell, but after killing him, Voldemort did not die with him. Instead, he escaped as a ghost, proving that Voldemort may have survived by using some kind of artifact related to the soul."

Kevin was also lying on his bed, holding a book on alchemy, using a fluorescent light to illuminate it, and talking as he read.

"You mean, Voldemort survived thanks to that locket?" Ron asked curiously.

"I think it's pretty close to the truth. Let's wait for Headmaster Dumbledore to tell us for the exact result," Kevin said calmly.

The two had no choice but to stop asking questions.

The room fell silent, broken only by the sound of Kevin turning the pages of his book.

"Kevin, could you close the book? The sound of you turning pages is keeping me awake..."

At this point, Ron couldn't help but complain.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin paused in his actions.

This scene is just like my dorm room in my past life, where I was playing games or sleeping, while my roommate was flipping through a book.

When did I become the kind of person I hate the most?!

Kevin slammed the book shut.

"You're right!"

Kevin yelled, then threw the book aside, pulled the covers up, and waved away the flickering fluorescent light.

Goodnight, Makka Pakka!

After saying goodnight, Kevin's breathing became incredibly steady in less than 10 seconds, and he fell into a deep sleep.

This whole thing left Harry Ron completely stunned.

What's going on?
