Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

It wasn't until evening that Hermione and the others, who had been in class all day, finally had time to chat with Kevin.

Kevin told Harry and the others about what he had discussed with Dumbledore that day.

"So you'll be spending all your weekends learning alchemy from Professor Dumbledore from now on?"

Harry asked curiously.

"I think that's the case, at least until we complete this stage of alchemical production."

Kevin said as he prepared the potion.

He had mentioned this to Hermione before, so Hermione didn't show any surprise.

"So, how was your Defense Against the Dark Arts class today?"

Kevin was quite curious about how Professor Moody would teach after taking over Umbridge's body.

"It makes me laugh when I think about it."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Ron was the first to laugh gleefully.

"Harry couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Professor Moody speaking in a girlish voice during class today."

"Then Harry was called to the podium and made to stand as punishment. He was also made to use spells to attack Moody and show us how to deal with some spell attacks. As a result, Harry was knocked away and subdued by Moody with a few backhands several times."

"The key point is that everyone actually thinks it's reasonable, believing that 'Umbridge' was sent by the Ministry of Magic to target Harry."

"I think Harry will definitely enjoy this special treatment often in the future."

Ron shared with Kevin what had happened in class that day with a smile.

Harry scratched his head speechlessly.

That was the big bump on his body from the blows Professor Moody gave him today. He also received several banishing spells, leaving him covered in bruises and scratches.

Although I received some basic treatment afterward, the process was still very painful...

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knew that Voldemort would definitely come to kill Harry and Kevin.

Kevin and the others didn't need to worry, so everyone focused their teaching efforts on Harry.

Moody was even more so, and he was very strict with Harry's teaching, even though Harry was already much better than most of his peers.

But he kept finding fault with Harry.

So it's easy to imagine that Harry's days ahead won't be easy either.

Kevin found it somewhat amusing after hearing it.

Good news, our own people have replaced the enemy.

Bad news: Our own people are more ruthless than our enemies.

This personnel change plan really brought Harry back a living father.

Umbridge's corporal punishment was more humiliating than harmful; Professor Moody's punishment would probably be considered child's play.

......

Last year, due to the Triwizard Tournament, there were no Quidditch matches or related activities or training sessions for the entire year.

So being able to participate in Quidditch again this year after a long absence must be one of Harry's happiest moments.

Ron also seems to want to participate in this year's Quidditch player selection, because two classes of seniors have graduated by the end of their third year, and there are some vacancies in the Quidditch team.

Harry was naturally very supportive of Ron's participation in Quidditch and was even willing to practice with Ron to help him get selected.

After clearing up the misunderstanding with everyone in Gryffindor and resolving the issue with Umbridge, Harry's daily studies became much smoother this year.

Apart from Professor Snape's Potions class.

Harry had only heard Kevin mention it before; it seemed that Snape and his father had some kind of feud.

But it doesn't have to be a constant targeting of him.

So Harry was determined to do well in Potions class and shut Snape up.

The result was obvious: even though Harry's grades were much better than his classmates', he would still be subjected to all sorts of difficulties by Snape.

......

"Harry, have you decided on your future career path?" Ron asked Harry while doing his homework.

After several days of intensive classes and repeated reminders from teachers, many young wizards realized the importance of this year's OWLS exam.

Grades 1-5 are like high school, grades 6-7 are like university, and the OWLS exam is equivalent to the college entrance exam.

Only by achieving satisfactory results can one proceed to learn more advanced knowledge.

So everyone started talking about future career paths and decided to work hard for them.

"Hmm... I want to be an Auror, like Professor Moody and the others, to maintain peace in the wizarding world."

Harry thought for only a moment before speaking seriously.

"Me too! Let's continue being partners then!"

Upon hearing Harry's answer, Ron immediately chimed in with delight.

Kevin, watching the two of them improvising a paper on transfiguration, was speechless for a moment.

You two seem to have some misunderstanding about how difficult it is to become an Auror...

In contrast, Hermione, the academic high-achiever, didn't have as much pressure and was able to do what she liked in her spare time.

It's Friday today, and it's rare for get out of class to end early. After having dinner, Harry Ron went to Kevin's workspace and chatted while doing his homework.

This place is practically their gathering place.

Before Voldemort appeared last year, they didn't come here so often.

This year, in order to fight Voldemort, everyone joined the Order of the Phoenix. They subconsciously believed that they should stay together often so that they could look after each other and discuss some shady things at any time.

Kevin's workspace became their top choice.

"Kevin, what about you? Are you going to be a Potions professor forever?"

At this point, Harry asked Kevin curiously, feeling that Kevin was now basically moving in the direction of the professor.

And that is indeed the case; Kevin has such plans.

Kevin could achieve financial freedom simply by selling potions, but he didn't want to spend all day holed up in his workshop brewing potions.

Therefore, having a proper job would be much better. Being a professor at Hogwarts is a good choice. Putting aside everything else, the fact that there are two long holidays every year is enough to beat out a large number of other jobs.

However, plans are just plans, and he doesn't know what the future holds.

"Hmm, if Dumbledore insists that I take the professorship, then I might accept it."

Kevin hummed twice, half-jokingly.

Before Harry and the others could respond, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oh Kevin, of course I hope you can come to Hogwarts as a professor after you graduate, and I hope you won't refuse me then."

Dumbledore just as he opened the door and spoke slowly.

Good evening, Kevin, and the rest of you.

As soon as he entered, Dumbledore smiled and greeted everyone.

"Good evening, Principal..." Kevin said, scratching his cheek guiltily.

Harry and the others also stood up to respond, wondering what Dumbledore's purpose was in visiting at this time. He must have known that Harry and the others were gathered here before he came looking for them.

"While I'd love to discuss your future onboarding with you, we have some more important things to do right now."

Dumbledore put away his playful tone, and his words became more serious as he spoke to Kevin and the others.

"Has Voldemort made a move?!"

Harry shouted instinctively.

"I don't have any children yet, but I can finally confirm some of Voldemort's secrets."

"Come on, come to my office."

Dumbledore didn't immediately say what it was, but instead led a few people to his office.

As soon as Harry entered, he saw the Pensieve he had seen last year glowing.

Next to the Pensieve, there is a tower-shaped storage cabinet filled with all sorts of small glass test tubes, each containing a wisp of white thread.

"What I'm about to say is about Voldemort's secret, which I think you have the right to know."

"Do you remember the locket you found at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters during the holidays?"

Dumbledore stood beside the small tower and asked the group.
