Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Voldemort has escaped, but the story here is far from over.

The Death Eaters who had previously hovered over Little Hangleton, constantly attacking the Ministry of Magic and Muggles.

As if suddenly receiving some command, they all flew towards Kevin and Dumbledore.

Countless spells rained down upon them.

However, Dumbledore and Kevin completely disregarded these attacks.

Dumbledore spun his wand first, and a sea of ​​blazing fire appeared, engulfing everything and blocking all the spells. It then rushed towards the Death Eaters in the sky.

Kevin then waved his wand, and countless fire beasts rose from the sea of ​​fire, stood atop it, and then charged precisely at the Death Eaters who had escaped the fire's reach.

One Death Eater after another was shot down, and when the remaining half saw this scene, they all fled in panic.

The Ministry of Magic immediately dispatched Aurors to pursue them, capturing as many as they could.

The remaining staff of the Disaster Management Department began to carry out the cleanup work in an orderly manner.

"Dumbledore! Kevin! Are you trying to expose the wizarding world to the Muggle world?!"

When Dumbledore and Kevin returned to Little Hangleton, Fudge, who was walking towards them, shouted in a fit of impotent rage.

"Don't get agitated, Your Excellency Minister, it's not good for your health."

Kevin stepped forward, patted Fudge on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's beyond our control. Voldemort was practically in our faces; we couldn't just sit and wait to die, could we?"

"...The one you were just fighting was...the mysterious man?"

Fudge paused for a moment when he heard the name Voldemort. He could only guess that what happened here might be related to the Order of the Phoenix.

But unexpectedly, it was Voldemort himself who came.

When the Ministry of Magic personnel arrived, they considered going to investigate, but the Death Eaters suddenly appeared, so they had to prioritize protecting the Muggles of Little Hangleton.

Recalling that earth-shattering roar and the black smoke shooting into the sky, it really might have been Voldemort.

"That's right, otherwise who do you think could make the principal cause such a commotion?" Kevin said matter-of-factly.

Dumbledore, who had been silent the whole time, stared speechlessly at Kevin.

If he remembered correctly, Kevin had always been the one making the biggest commotion; it was he who forced Voldemort to create such a big disturbance...

Fudge thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense. Apart from Voldemort, it seemed that no one else could make Dumbledore cause such a commotion.

He didn't dwell on the matter after that.

After all, they are on the same side now. Since he can't contribute to the fight against Voldemort, he can only take care of the aftermath.

In addition to the people from the Ministry of Magic, Sirius Black and several other members of the Order of the Phoenix also came.

Harry and his children were left in the Order of the Phoenix, under the care of Mrs. Weasley.

Seeing that Dumbledore and Kevin were both alright, they were relieved.

......

"Headmaster, what is the black gemstone on this ring?"

Kevin and Dumbledore didn't immediately return to the Order of the Phoenix with Sirius and the others. Instead, they walked along a country lane, chatting as they went.

"That's not a gemstone, it's a resurrection stone."

"A resurrection stone? It can bring the dead back to life?"

Kevin was taken aback when he heard the name; he really had no knowledge of this subject.

"Kevin, do you know the story of the Deathly Hallows?"

Dumbledore walked with his hands behind his back, asking as he went.

Kevin didn't know what the Deathly Hallows were, but he recognized the words very well.

Isn't that just the name of the last two Harry Potter movies?

"The Deathly Hallows are a long-standing legend in the wizarding world, but they are also real."

Legend has it that in the distant past, there were three brothers.

"They came to a swift, impassable river in the dead of night."

"But the three brothers were skilled in magic, so they used magic to create a bridge for them to cross the river, and for those who came after them to cross the river."

"However, this move also displeased Death, because it would ruin His chance to reap souls."

Dumbledore and Kevin were taking a walk when they came to a small river, and Dumbledore decided to tell the story of the Deathly Hallows right there.

Upon hearing the word "Death," Kevin paused, glancing at his attribute panel, where the Grim Reaper's Gaze was still displayed...

Did he ruin Cedric's fate of having his soul harvested, causing Death to dislike him?

Dumbledore's story continues.

"Although Death was displeased with the three brothers' actions, he still pretended to congratulate them because they had changed the fate of countless people and were clever enough to escape death, so he promised to give each of them a gift."

"Our leader, Antioch, asked Death for an invincible wand, powerful enough to allow him to easily decide anyone's death."

"The second son, Cadmus, asked Death for the ability to resurrect his beloved so that he could see his deceased lover again."

"The third brother, Ignatius, asked Death for an invisibility cloak that allowed him to evade Death's pursuit, making death unable to harm him anymore."

As he spoke, Dumbledore slid his fingers slightly, drawing a strange pattern on the ground.

First, a vertical line was drawn, representing an invincible magic wand.

Then, on the lower half of the wand, draw a circle that encircles half the size of the wand, representing the Resurrection Stone.

Finally, there's a triangle that encloses both the wand and the resurrection stone, representing the invisibility cloak.

"Later, because the eldest brother was showing off his powerful wand everywhere, his wand was stolen, and he was killed by the thief in his sleep, so the eldest brother's soul was still taken by Death."

"Although the second brother successfully used the resurrection stone to see his deceased lover, his lover was just a ghost and could not interact with the world of the living. She gradually became painful and alienated, unwilling to stay in the world. The second brother also committed suicide for love, and his soul was also taken away by the Grim Reaper."

"As for the third brother, Death pursued him for many years but could not find him. It was not until the third brother was old that he took off his invisibility cloak and passed it on to his descendants, and then faced death calmly."

The legend of the Deathly Hallows ends here.

Dumbledore controlled the Gauntlet ring, which floated in front of the two of them.

"The Resurrection Stone on this is one of the Deathly Hallows, which gives a person the ability to summon the spirits of their deceased loved ones."

"Dumbledore said slowly, a hint of longing and struggle flashing in his eyes."

However, Kevin couldn't help but complain: "This isn't resurrection, it's not even a summoning of the soul. Even Death is scamming people."

"..." These words left Dumbledore, who was still lost in his memories, speechless once again.

"Even if it's just a summoning of spirits, it's enough to prove the power of the resurrection stone."

"It can help you make up for the love you once lost."

But Kevin shook his head: "That's just wishful thinking on the part of the living, a form of self-satisfaction."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Dumbledore was stunned, his eyes gradually clearing.

"Summoning the soul is a desecration of the deceased's spirit. Everyone must die eventually, and those who survive should not be held back by the past."

"The living only need to remember the deceased forever and let them rest in peace."

As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand and wiped it across the ground, erasing the circle that Dumbledore had drawn on the ground to represent the Resurrection Stone.

"True strength does not rely on external things."

With another wipe, the magic wand, symbolizing invincibility, was also wiped away.

"I am not afraid of death. If I die, it only proves that I am nothing special."

With the final stroke, the triangle representing the invisibility cloak was also erased.

Looking at the spirited young man beside him, Dumbledore finally smiled.

The desire for the resurrection stone was no longer in his eyes.

I wish I could have understood these things when I was younger.
