Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

After Kevin left, Dumbledore slowly sat back down in the chair in front of his desk, looking at the letter in his hand with a puzzled expression.

The mailing address for this letter was a place called Nurmengard.

However, the sender was a young man with whom he had little contact, or even whom he could hardly be said to know well: the current president of the Magical Congress of the United States.

Dumbledore then slowly opened the envelope. Compared to previous letters he had received from Nurmengard, this one was exceptionally formal.

To Albus Dumbledore

I hope I haven't bothered you, Mr. Dumbledore. We just received some news about Nurmengard recently, and I feel it's necessary to inform you of the relevant information.

Gellert Grindelwald, the wizard who once plunged the wizarding world of many countries into turmoil, recently passed away at Nurmengard Prison.

After reading the few lines of text in the letter, Dumbledore did not show much emotional fluctuation. He simply closed the envelope silently and remained silent for a long time, lost in his memories.

Neumontard is a wizarding prison located on the border between Austria and Germany.

Established less than a century ago, very few people know about this place.

It won't be long before the last, and only, prisoner passes away, and the place can be completely abandoned.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

......

"Kevin, where did Harry go? He disappeared after the intensive course ended today."

As soon as Ron entered Kevin's workspace, he asked Kevin a curious question.

"He should be at the Room of Requirement right now."

Kevin paused for a moment before answering.

"Didn't the intensive course end? Why is he still going there?" Ron asked curiously, unaware that the Grey Lady was Helena.

When Harry went to see the Cinderella today, Ron wasn't there, so he went ahead by himself.

Then, upon discovering Helena's identity, he rushed off to find Dumbledore.

Now he's probably rushing off to the House of Requirement again.

Kevin slowly told Ron what had happened, and Ron finally understood what was going on.

Ron wouldn't have much of a use going there; only Harry, who is also connected to a Horcrux, would have a chance of finding the diadem.

"Ron, have you been in contact with Draco lately?"

"Hmm...we've crossed paths a few times, but Draco hasn't paid any attention to me."

Ron lay dejectedly on the sofa in the office and spoke slowly.

"It's alright, Ron. Our plan is almost ready to be implemented."

"Draco is in your care now. I'm going to Malfoy Manor to bring his parents out."

Kevin patted Ron on the shoulder and said.

Ron nodded, but then immediately asked, "Then Kevin, where do you plan to settle them? Malfoy Manor is their home, isn't it?"

"Why don't you go and drive Voldemort out of their house?" Kevin said with a smile.

"...Never mind then."

Ron shook his head dejectedly.

"Once they're rescued, we can take them to the Ministry of Magic."

"Just have the Malfoys file a formal complaint, saying that Voldemort had previously controlled them and that the Death Eaters' headquarters were in their house."

"The Ministry of Magic will naturally take action then. Even if they can't defeat Voldemort, at least Voldemort can't stay there peacefully any longer."

"Finally, let Malfoy collect some more gold coins and reveal all the information he knows about the Death Eaters. That will solve the problem."

Kevin slowly recounted what happened next, and Ron nodded after listening, as it did sound quite plausible.

When Harry returned, Kevin called Hermione, who was spending time in the library, and told them about his and Dumbledore's plans.

.....

A week passed quickly.

There's not much to say about this period, except that Harry would make time to visit the Room of Requirement every day, and Kevin would also disappear for a while each day.

Dumbledore couldn't see anyone at all.

until today.

Inside the Great Hall of the People, it was lunchtime, and many people were gathered there.

Kevin and his friends were also having lunch and chatting there.

Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared out of thin air above the hall, and a letter fell into Kevin's hands.

Before the others could react, the letter floated up on its own, and its mouth seemed to speak human words.

Dumbledore's voice came from the letter: "Kevin, come immediately to the coastal suburbs of East London. You know the location. I need your help."

This sentence could be heard by almost everyone in the Great Hall of the People.

Dumbledore has been missing for several days, and suddenly he sends a letter asking Kevin to come over. What happened?

After he shouted those words, the envelope spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes.

Everyone turned to look at Kevin.

"Hmm... Luckily I don't have class this afternoon, otherwise those brats would have had a great holiday..."

Kevin muttered as he wiped his mouth.

"..."

Harry and Ron were speechless. Why are they still concerned about this now?

"Wait for me to come back tonight."

Kevin stood up, patted Hermione's head, and chuckled.

"Okay, be careful."

Hermione smiled and said.

After saying that, Kevin turned around and quickly left the hall under everyone's gaze.

Not long after Kevin left, David Greider, who was in a corner, also quietly left the Great Hall.

......

Outside the turbulent cave, Dumbledore stood atop a massive rock, gazing silently into the deep, dark cave.

With a snap, Kevin appeared beside Dumbledore.

"headmaster."

"Okay, Kevin, go and complete your mission."

Dumbledore looked at Kevin and spoke slowly.

Kevin nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the surging waves that had been crashing against the rocks in front of them instantly calmed down.

A long corridor formed by the sea rises up, then freezes into ice, turning into an ice bridge for people to enter the cave.

Dumbledore walked alone onto the ice bridge and slowly headed into the cave. Kevin did not follow, but watched as Dumbledore entered the cave. With a wave of his hand, the ice bridge collapsed and fell into the sea.

The waves in the vicinity have once again returned to their turbulent state.

Kevin disappeared from the spot.

Five minutes after Kevin disappeared, with a snap, another figure appeared.

It was Voldemort, clad in black robes, staring at the cave and the lingering magical energy that had just dissipated.

That was Kevin's magic; Voldemort recognized it at a glance.

Voldemort then transformed into black smoke and rushed into the cave.

Meanwhile, on the other side, to the astonishment of countless Death Eaters, a figure draped in a blue cloak swaggered into Malfoy Manor.

He carried a crowbar on his shoulder in one hand, with a Death Eater hanging from the end of the crowbar, while his other hand held a wand, with violent magic flowing at the tip of the wand.

"Can anyone tell me where Lucius is?"
