Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Inside Malfoy Manor, in a secluded and deserted garden, the once vibrant scene of blooming flowers and singing birds is gone.

It turned into a post-apocalyptic landscape.

It felt as if we had just experienced a series of natural disasters, including a category 10 tornado, a volcanic eruption, and a tsunami.

But this only applies to this garden, which still retains its former luxurious manor appearance.

Inside the garden, Voldemort, dressed in a black robe, was standing.

He was like an elegant musician, waving his wand and watching the flames, thunder, black water, and invisible wind blades dance at its tip.

"Hehehe... Command the god of fire, command the god of water, Kevin, I've prepared the gods of thunder and wind for you. I'm sure you'll be very happy when we meet next time, hehehe..."

Back during the holidays, after Draco returned home, Voldemort used Legilimency to read all of his memories of Kevin.

Including the various spells Kevin created himself. Last time, his Fiery Charm was turned against him by this Fire God's Command, and now he has learned these spells as well.

Based on the principles of these spells, they even created spells to control electricity and wind.

"I must say, Kevin, you really are a genius."

"But that's not enough..."

"Not ruthless enough."

Voldemort muttered coldly to himself, extending his other hand. Magic seemed to flow in his palm as he gently clenched it.

Draco, far away at Hogwarts, suddenly felt a pang of heartache, pressed his hand painfully to his chest, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew this was the Dark Lord warning him that he could crush his own heart at any moment.

After Draco returned to Malfoy Manor, even though Voldemort learned of his break with Kevin through memory probing, even though Draco told Voldemort all the information about Kevin, and even though he had the Dark Mark engraved on his wrist to swear loyalty.

He still doesn't trust Draco.

But that doesn't matter. He's not going to let something that's offered to him go.

So he had already placed a curse on Draco, and on his parents.

Once they betray themselves, the curse will automatically activate, shattering their hearts.

At the same time, one can activate the curse at any time, thus holding their lives in one's own hands.

Pinching in a physical sense.

His task for Draco this year was simple: to have Draco deliver the "gift" he had carefully prepared to Kevin and Dumbledore.

At the same time, they should investigate information about Hogwarts and find a way or secret passage that would allow Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts.

Once he has amassed enough power, he will go to Azkaban to release his former servants and announce to the world that the Dark Lord has returned!

Finally, it was about killing my beloved Harry and Kevin with my own hands.

Hehehe...

Voldemort's face broke into a chilling smile. With a casual wave of his hand, elemental spells dancing on the tip of his staff flew out, instantly transforming into a sea of ​​thunder and fire, and black water tornadoes, ravaging the ravaged garden.

......

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts...

"Ha, this is the price you pay for getting close to Kevin and the others back then, Draco."

As Draco knelt on one knee, clutching his chest in pain, Goyle and Crabbe stood by and made sarcastic remarks.

They no longer treat Draco with the same deference as before; in fact, the Dark Lord has now given them the mission of monitoring Draco.

In their eyes, Draco, or rather the entire Malfoy family, was nothing more than a pawn that the Dark Lord could discard at any time.

They're just still able to contribute their remaining energy.

Draco's heart throbbed for a minute before gradually subsiding, his face filled with gloom and anger.

Only when the pain subsided did he slowly rise, coldly glancing at Goyle and Crabbe, before suddenly waving his wand.

Two red lights flashed, and the curse sent the two flying six or seven meters, slamming them hard against the wall.

"Gall, Crabbe, get your stance straight."

"Even if I, Malfoy, am down on my luck, you cannot humiliate me."

Draco uttered those words coldly, then ignored the two of them and left alone.

Gore and Crabbe were left looking at each other, their faces full of resentment as they stared in the direction he had left.

......

A month passed quickly, and nothing unusual happened during that time.

If there's any change at the school, it's that their spell enhancement class has started to gain some fame.

Because the students who participated in the intensive course wore the badge representing the intensive course every day and went in and out of the campus, everyone gradually learned about this place.

Moreover, many Gryffindors have come to believe in Voldemort's return and have tacitly accepted this wartime mentality of desperately striving to become stronger.

As a result, this positive, diligent, and studious atmosphere permeated the school.

Such a change, of course, did not escape the notice of the Ministry of Magic.

Today, Umbridge received a letter from the Ministry of Magic.

Inside Dumbledore's office.

"So Fudge means we should disband the Charms Enhancement Class and publicly admit our mistake in spreading the rumor that Voldemort has returned?"

Kevin chuckled as he read the letter, then passed it to Harry and the others so they could see it too.

Dumbledore sat leisurely at his desk, sipping tea without saying a word, while Umbridge stood to the side and slowly said, "The Ministry of Magic now knows that half of the Hogwarts students are preparing to fight Voldemort."

"And the students' parents have also learned more or less about what happened at Hogwarts, which has led to more and more talk in the wizarding community about Voldemort's return, so Fudge started to get restless."

Upon hearing Umbridge's words, Harry was quite pleased and said, "Isn't this a good thing? This is exactly what we want—for the news of Voldemort's return to be exposed."

Only then did Dumbledore finally put down his teacup.

"That's certainly a good thing, and I assure you, the Ministry of Magic can't do anything to you."

"But now there's something else."

Dumbledore spoke slowly to the group, then took out another letter from the drawer.

"Fudge just sent me another letter."

He believed that Hogwarts' problems were too serious, and that Umbridge, as an investigator, was not fully capable of managing the institution. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic planned to send a second official to take up the post.

Dumbledore's words startled Kevin and the others, especially Kevin, who hadn't expected such a plot twist.

"But is Hogwarts a place where anyone can simply take a job at the Ministry of Magic?"

However, Kevin didn't pause for long before asking a question in return.

"Of course not, the school no longer has any positions available for the Ministry of Magic."

"Dumbledore said matter-of-factly."

"So rather than taking up a post, it's more like being stationed here to help Umbridge investigate problems within the school and then report back to the Ministry of Magic."

After listening, the group suddenly realized that, to put it bluntly, they had sent someone to cause trouble.
