Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

P.S.: I only found out later that the Guardian Spirit is related to Animagus, so initially I chose a goldfish image for the Guardian Spirit because it looked lively. By the time I found out, it was too late to change it, so I just ignored it.

------------

Hermione looked puzzled when she heard Kevin's words.

What do you mean by "you've already learned it"?

Can Animagus learn it silently?

She also looked into the learning process of Animagus.

The preparation stage alone takes a whole month, during which you must keep a carefully prepared mandela leaf in your mouth the whole time. You cannot swallow it, spit it out, or damage it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.

I spend every day with Kevin. If Kevin had been holding a leaf in his mouth for a whole month, I couldn't possibly not have noticed.

"When did you learn that?" Hermione asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Hmm... Strictly speaking, it should be the end of the third-year semester."

Kevin recalled the time when he obtained the Animagus skill card and replied.

Because the difficulty of learning Animagus is self-evident, Kevin couldn't very well say that he had suddenly learned it, which is why he hadn't told Hermione and the others.

So he waited until now to come clean, only saying that he suddenly became particularly interested in Animagus because of Sirius and Little Pettigrew.

However, because learning this magic was very dangerous, he was afraid that everyone would disagree, so he didn't dare to tell them. He secretly tried it himself and then learned it.

But I never dared to mention it after I learned it, for fear of making Hermione angry. Now that I think about it, I feel it's time to tell her.

After hearing Kevin's explanation, Hermione rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

How to put it? Unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

Kevin knew her too well; he was definitely the kind of person who would do something like that.

"Did you register with the Ministry of Magic?"

"not yet."

Hearing Kevin's answer, Hermione rubbed her temples again.

Now that's it, illegal Animagus, another charge that could put Kevin in Azkaban.

They haven't even caught Voldemort yet, and Kevin is already a serious criminal comparable to the Death Eaters.

At this moment, Hermione's ambition to seize power after joining the Ministry of Magic only grew stronger.

She didn't even dare to think about whether she could protect Kevin if she didn't become a high-ranking official...

"Well, we recently had a falling out with the Ministry of Magic. Once Voldemort is exposed and the Ministry of Magic has no choice but to form an alliance, I can go and register."

Kevin noticed Hermione's worry, patted her head, and said nonchalantly.

"Okay, so what is your Animagus?" Hermione reluctantly accepted reality and stopped thinking about it, instead curiously asking Kevin about his Animagus.

At this point, Hermione also closed the window and then cast a barrier spell to enclose the two of them.

Kevin also surveyed the surroundings and, finding no other creatures, activated his Animagus.

With a transformation, a large white cat with tiger stripes appeared before Hermione's eyes.

"!!"

Hermione stared wide-eyed at the large white cat in front of her, her face filled with surprise.

However, she still pretended to be reserved and slowly reached out to stroke the cat's head.

The soft, smooth fur she acquired made Hermione unable to resist any longer.

"Hmm, big cat!"

She picked up Kevin, who had transformed into a large white cat, and buried her face in its soft, furry belly.

Kevin was also taken aback by Hermione's actions; he hadn't expected her to react so strongly.

After struggling a few times, it gave up and let Hermione play with it.

"Hehehe, Kevin, why didn't you say so sooner? Then I could have cuddled you while I slept."

Hermione was enamored with the white cat, which was twice the size of Crookshanks.

Kevin couldn't speak, but his flexible tail glided through the air, leaving behind magic that formed words.

"If you had told me earlier, you would have rubbed my skin raw..."

"Nonsense, I'll definitely take good care of you~" Hermione said teasingly, pinching Kevin's cat face after seeing his text.

After saying that, Hermione picked up Kevin's cat head and gave him a big kiss, just like she would kiss a pet cat.

After the kiss, he let out a strange "hehehe" laugh.

Kevin finally understood why the cats didn't like being kissed by their owners: from their perspective, their owners seemed too lewd, as if they were about to be eaten...

But Kevin was helpless and could only silently endure Hermione's torment.

"Hermione, actually my Animagus isn't a normal cat, but a magical creature."

Hermione rubbed the cat's head while Kevin controlled his tail, leaving magical characters in the air.

"A magical creature? If that's the case, then your size is indeed too big compared to a normal cat."

Upon seeing Kevin's words, Hermione realized that Kevin's transformed appearance was not what an ordinary cat should look like.

"Well, because I'm not a cat at all, I'm a tiger."

"tiger!?"

Hermione was surprised when she saw the string of words.

"This is just my normal form; I can also transform into my complete form."

Kevin shifted into a languid position in Hermione's arms. And let me tell you, Hermione's embrace was fragrant and soft, so comfortable.

"Can you transform into your complete form now?"

"There's no way to deal with it for now. The fully formed form is too powerful and difficult to hide. Getting too close could easily hurt you."

Upon seeing these words, Hermione became even more curious about what Kevin's complete Animagus form actually looked like.

After writing these words, Kevin the cat changed to a more relaxed position, lying on Hermione's lap with all four paws in the air.

It made gurgling noises, which melted Hermione's heart.

......

"Kevin, your alchemy project is complete! I received a badge from Dumbledore."

After another month of hard work, Kevin, under Dumbledore's guidance, finally completed his research on alchemy.

As early as yesterday, those badges were distributed to the core members of the Order of the Phoenix through Dumbledore.

Harry only received it today, so he came to find Kevin right away.

"Yes, with the new badges, you can exchange the badges we gave you before, but you can also keep them, because those were experimental badges that only a few of us had, and we can keep them as special communication tools among us."

"Of course I'll keep it! That badge cost me so much blood, I can't bear to throw it away."

Ron, who was standing to the side, said matter-of-factly after hearing this.

After hearing this, the group burst into laughter.

"So, Kevin, what are your plans for the future?"

Kevin had been busy with alchemy, while he was busy with the advanced training program.

Now that Kevin's done with his work, Harry is wondering if Kevin will join him in the advanced training program.

"Next, I need to learn about curses. You all know about Draco's situation. I must help Draco remove the curse from him and also find a way to rescue his parents."

Kevin had already shared the information Rita had sent with Harry and the others.

So they were aware of Draco's current situation, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"I understand the logic, but shouldn't we be researching things like anti-curse techniques?"

Ron asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing this.

"A curse is different from a spell. Once it is cast, it is very difficult to break, let alone a curse cast by Voldemort."

"I don't think it's possible to remove the curse on Draco by simply breaking the curse."

"So I plan to take a different approach and fight fire with fire."

"Research a curse that curses all curses."
