Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

The next morning, everyone ate breakfast together in the kitchen. Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Shackleton, and the others were going to work later.

On the surface, they are still employees of the Ministry of Magic and are required to get off work regular hours.

It would also be a good opportunity to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and see what inside information they might have.

Normally, only Sirius Black, Professor Lupin, Professor Moody, and Mrs. Weasley are the permanent members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Of course, they weren't always there; they worked in shifts, mainly to protect Harry's safety.

If Harry goes out, someone from their group will follow him.

You mean Kevin?

If we really encounter danger, it's uncertain who will protect whom.

"Harry, Kevin, you're in the newspapers again."

Professor Lupin, who was looking at the Daily Prophet, suddenly spoke up and spread the newspaper out for the others to see.

A boy who lies constantly, a clown who tries to attract attention.

Above are headshots of Harry and Kevin, along with a lengthy article criticizing them.

Harry had obviously seen it before and wasn't surprised.

But there's still a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Fudge not only didn't support their fight against Voldemort, but he also slandered them.

He struck down all those who claimed Voldemort had returned.

They also used their influence in the Daily Prophet to launch a massive attack on the reputations of Dumbledore, Kevin Harry, and others.

"When was this photo taken? It makes me look as silly as Harry Potter."

Kevin, standing to the side, didn't care about the slander above. He stroked his chin and said in a serious tone.

Harry: "..."

The editor and reporter of this report is not Rita. Because Rita spoke up for Kevin and his group, she has been blacklisted by the Daily Prophet and can only secretly publish some small-scale weekly news.

"According to Dumbledore, it seems that your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher next year will be someone sent by the Ministry of Magic."

"Moreover, this person wields immense power."

"This is what Professor Moody, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, said at this point."

"The Ministry of Magic may be using this as a pretext to target the two of you."

"Especially Kevin, the Ministry of Magic was preparing to take back your position as Potions professor, but Dumbledore temporarily saved it for you."

Professor Moody emphasized to Kevin.

"How could they do this! Kevin's professorship was agreed upon by all the board members, the principal, and other professors."

"And the younger students really enjoy Kevin's classes, and they've made tremendous progress!"

Upon hearing this, Hermione immediately spoke up in defense of Kevin.

"That's why the Ministry of Magic didn't immediately revoke Kevin's position. They're probably planning to wait until after the start of the school year and then use some kind of evaluation to find a way to remove him from his post."

Professor Moody maintained his indifferent demeanor and spoke slowly.

Kevin patted Hermione on the shoulder, signaling her not to get agitated.

Then he looked at Professor Moody and asked.

"Professor Moody, you didn't teach us a single class last year. Would you be interested in teaching us for another year to make up for that?"

Kevin then said something completely unexpected.

"What do you mean?" Moody frowned as he looked at Kevin.

"Do you think this is something you can just do whenever you want?"

Moody said coldly.

If possible, he would certainly like to use this opportunity to move into Hogwarts.

It can openly teach students how to fight against dark magic, drawing students and their families into the fight against Voldemort, and also protect Harry at any time.

However, the Ministry of Magic had already finalized the order, and Dumbledore did not want to become completely hostile to the Ministry of Magic, so he agreed to the request.

"Isn't that right?"

"Little Barty was our professor for a year last year, and you know what, his teaching was really good."

Kevin said meaningfully, and Moody was taken aback, but instantly understood what Kevin meant.

Sirius Black slammed his fist on the table and stood up excitedly, shouting.

"Yes, we can find a way to replace that spy in the Ministry of Magic, as long as we report false information to the Ministry of Magic from time to time."

The rest of the people were shocked by the proposal.

This is a real crime; assaulting a government official is punishable by life imprisonment in Azkaban.

This is a sin that cannot be absolved even after defeating Voldemort.

"No, no! How are we any different from those Death Eaters if we do that!"

Mrs. Weasley was the first to stand up in opposition.

Professor Lupin clearly doesn't support this plan either, should it actually be done.

They then truly became criminals.

However, Kevin also stood up and slowly began to speak.

There's an old saying in the East: "If the enemy can go there, so can I."

"It means that what the enemy can do, we can do too."

"This is a war, it's either you die or I die. To win, we must take some unconventional measures."

Upon hearing the words "it's either you or me," Mrs. Weasley fell silent.

She knew very well that war was cruel.

More than a decade ago, Voldemort claimed the lives of many people.

That time, her two older brothers left her forever.

And this time? Who will it be?

"Moreover, this is only a last resort plan."

"Everything hinges on whether the officials dispatched by the Ministry of Magic this time will seriously affect or hinder us."

"If the officials are reasonable, or if the teachings are useful, we don't need to implement this plan."

"Even if we ultimately have to implement this plan, we will not harm this official's life."

"All we need to do is trap her temporarily, and then cast a forgetfulness spell on her when she's on vacation."

Seeing that Mrs. Weasley did not continue to stand up and object, Kevin continued to explain his plan.

No one needs to bear the blame for this; it's all for the sake of victory.

"Alright, there's no point in discussing this here. Let's just tell Dumbledore."

"If Dumbledore agrees, then I agree."

At this point, Moody made a decision and took out a piece of stationery to write a letter to Dumbledore.

No one stopped them; they all thought Kevin's plan might be feasible.

Moody quickly finished writing his letter and sent it directly using Fox's feather.

He was actually secretly excited and eager to know Dumbledore's meaning; Kevin's words made his blood boil as well.

If Kou can go, so can I.

What a wise and true saying!

These words reminded him of the time he fought Voldemort.

Back then, the Ministry of Magic allowed all Aurors to use the three Unforgivable Curses to kill their enemies, relaxing a series of restrictions, all in order to defeat Voldemort's army.

The waiting time was agonizing.

I don't know if Dumbledore didn't have time to look into it or if he felt it was too important to consider.

After waiting for ten minutes, a flame appeared out of thin air and transformed into a letter that appeared before everyone's eyes.

Moody immediately took the envelope and opened it.

Everyone could see a hint of excitement on his face.

"Dumbledore agreed."

After reading it, Moody placed the letter on the table for everyone to see.

There is only one short sentence above.

I know nothing.

"Ah, is Headmaster Dumbledore... playing dumb, tacitly agreeing?"

Ron said somewhat uncertainly after reading it.

"That's right, we've agreed."

Moody said something casually, then looked at the others and said something.

"This plan will proceed only after it is confirmed that the officials from the Ministry of Magic are indeed at a disadvantage to us."

"I will take over the role of the official."

"Furthermore, if the plan does begin, I will leave the Order of the Phoenix, and all my actions will be unrelated to the Order of the Phoenix. And you will be completely unaware of this, understand?"

Moody's last words were addressed to Kevin and the others.

The group nodded in agreement.

If all else fails, just modify their memories.

The plan was finalized.
