Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Just as Kevin and his friends were chatting, the door of the Three Broomsticks bar was suddenly kicked open by a figure, attracting the attention of everyone inside.

"Kevin! Harry! You're here! Come with me quickly, Seamus and Dean are fighting with the Slytherins!"

The person who arrived was Neville. He ran anxiously and breathlessly to Kevin and the others' table and said anxiously.

The group exchanged glances, stood up, left money for their drinks, and followed Neville out of the bar.

On the way, Nave explained the situation to the group.

They had originally come to Hogsmeade Village together today, hoping to relax.

Little did they know that while they were just strolling around, they encountered a group of Slytherins, one of whom suddenly began to mock them for no reason.

The target of their mockery was the badge they wore on their chests, indicating they were from the advanced class.

They said their advanced training class was just playing house, and if a real war broke out, they would just be toys for the Death Eaters.

Seamus was immediately enraged and punched the Slytherin, and then the two groups started fighting.

Neville saw Kevin and his friends come to the bar today, so he came to get help immediately.

The group soon arrived at the road leading to Hogsmeade village and found a crowd gathered, but no one tried to stop the fight; instead, they seemed to be enjoying the spectacle.

At that moment, five tall students dressed in Slytherin attire were punching and kicking Seamus and Dean.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron exchanged a glance. Without even asking why, they rushed forward, each kicking one of them aside, and joined the fray.

Since none of the Slytherins use magic, they certainly don't either, since using magic to attack classmates outside of school is a very serious offense.

Kevin then took out two bottles of potions and handed them to Neville, instructing him to feed them to Seamus and Dean, before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Then, with a few loud thuds, the five Slytherin students were kicked away like balls.

The onlookers, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, cheered enthusiastically.

Harry and Ron had just been pinned down and were trying to struggle when they found that there was no one in front of them; the person who had hit them was gone.

"Kevin, you'd better make your move sooner..."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Kevin arrive, and then complained.

"Who knew you two would be taken down so quickly?" Kevin said with amusement.

As for the Slytherin members, they were kicked away and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

But the leader seemed not to feel any pain, quickly got up from the ground, looked directly at Kevin, and took out his wand.

"Um?"

Kevin, who was about to reach out to help Harry and the other boy up, stopped, raised an eyebrow, and turned to look at him.

Even if he had held back his strength, he wouldn't have been completely unharmed and would still be alive and kicking.

Could it be that an individual is simply unable to cultivate it?

But then Kevin suddenly noticed that his eyes seemed somewhat vacant, as if he were being controlled.

Soul-stealing curse?

Kevin frowned. Was this Slytherin who came to cause trouble under the influence of the Imperius Curse?

Just as Kevin was about to investigate, the Slytherin made the first move. A flash of blue light appeared, and a knockback spell came flying, but Kevin casually waved it away, deflecting it with an Ironclad spell.

Before the next spell could strike, Kevin was already in front of him, grabbed his hand and twisted it gently, causing him to lose control and drop his wand.

But the pain from the dislocation didn't elicit any expression on his face, nor did he utter a sound, as if the dislocation wasn't even his hand's.

His other hand reached into his pocket to pull something out, but Kevin's probing had already given him an answer; this reaction was definitely the Imperius Curse.

So he cast a freezing spell, and his body froze instantly, stopping his movement of taking something out.

Seeing that someone dared to challenge Kevin, Harry and Ron got up and didn't need to come up to help; they could just watch from the sidelines. As a result, Kevin finished the fight in no time.

However, they also noticed something unusual, with Hermione being the first to realize something was wrong.

She knew Kevin's personality best; Kevin had always had a good temper, and he would never break someone's hand in a conflict between students.

The fact that they would do this proves that there is something unusual about this student or this matter.

The onlookers, unaware of these events, were shocked to see Kevin twist and break the man's hand.

"Kevin." Hermione walked quickly to Kevin's side, noticed his furrowed brow, and called out softly.

"Hermione, back off! He's under the influence of the Imperius Curse."

Kevin raised his hand, signaling Hermione to step back a few paces; this was clearly a premeditated conflict.

They might even be targeting him and Harry.

Hermione's face showed disbelief when she heard the Imperius Curse, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Kevin raised his hand, and the Slytherin who had been frozen in place moved.

Then an object wrapped in thick yellow paper floated up from his arms.

As the layers of yellow paper peeled away, a magnificent necklace appeared before their eyes.

The moment the necklace appeared, everyone—Harry and his friends, the Slytherin members, and the onlookers—quieted down.

They all seemed to be drawn to this beautiful necklace, and a strong urge to possess it arose within them.

This included Kevin himself; the moment he saw the necklace, he had a strong desire to possess it.

But the next second, he shook his head violently, regained his senses, and felt a strange sensation as if he had broken free from the Soul-Stealing Curse.

This necklace is enchanted with a spell similar to an imperishable curse, which will forcibly tempt those around it to possess it and touch it.

There's definitely something wrong with this necklace; you shouldn't touch it.

Before he could even tell everyone to move away from the necklace, a bystander suddenly lunged forward, trying to snatch it away.

However, he missed his target. Kevin reacted quickly and immediately suspended the necklace in mid-air.

When he turned around, he saw that most people were drawn to the necklace, eager to get closer, and some even took out their wands and pointed them at Kevin.

Harry was the first to recover after Kevin, followed by Hermione and Ron. All of them had specifically practiced resisting the Imperius Curse.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he saw someone raising a wand and pointing it at Kevin. He immediately took out his own wand and surrounded Kevin.

"Kevin! What's going on with these people!?"

Harry looked around warily at the people who seemed to be under his control, and asked loudly.

Even Simon, and the Slytherins who had attacked them at the beginning, surrounded them, except for the one who had been immobilized by Kevin at the start.

"Navie! Seymour! Dean!"

Ron called out their names, but still couldn't wake them.

Kevin didn't immediately try to disperse or immobilize them, but instead observed the reactions of the people around him.

All these people could see was that necklace.

If the Soul-Stealing Curse is a targeted control over a specific person, then this necklace is a group-oriented influence that radiates to everyone around, tempting them to obtain the necklace.

Kevin tried to maneuver the necklace to fly out of the encirclement, and the others quickly turned their guns and chased after the necklace.

Then he cast a vanishing spell to hide the necklace, and everyone instantly regained their senses.

"Holy crap! What just happened to me?"

"I don't know! Me neither!"

"It seems like we're being controlled..."

When everyone came to their senses, they were terrified, and soon all their attention was focused on Kevin.

I hope Kevin can give me a reply.
