Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

As the train slowly pulled into King's Cross Station, the young wizards disembarked.

Kevin and Hermione followed behind everyone and got off the train together. They happily discussed their summer vacation plans.

Although these are extraordinary times, the youthful radiance of these young people will not fade.

Kevin noticed that some of the senior students were crying and reluctant to leave when they got off the bus.

They must be seventh-year graduates. They got off the train today, and I guess most of them will never have the chance to ride the Hogwarts Express again in their lives.

Although this is a scene that repeats itself every year, it may be that they are already in fifth grade, or they have just experienced an important OWLS exam.

Kevin suddenly realized that the Harry Potter story only had two years left.

The adventure he once longed for has unknowingly passed by more than halfway.

Is it a sigh of emotion? Or a longing for the past? Or fear?

Will his adventure end when this story ends?

Kevin had never thought about this question before.

Just as he was lost in thought, Hermione's voice rang out: "Kevin, look, Mom and Dad are here to pick us up."

Without waiting for a reply, Hermione grabbed Kevin's hand and ran happily toward the Grangers' location in the distance.

Kevin let Hermione pull him along, smiled helplessly, his thoughts no longer important, and called out softly.

"Slow down, they're not going to suddenly disappear, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hmph, of course it's so I can get home sooner!"

Hermione said with a smile.

Hermione seems to have changed a lot, yet she hasn't changed much at all.

Even though she's grown taller and looks more mature, she still acts like a child, always showing Kevin a completely unguarded smile.

They soon arrived in front of the Grangers, and Hermione released Kevin and rushed into her parents' arms, happily calling out "Dad, Mom!"

"Welcome back, Hermione, Kevin."

Mrs. Granger's gentle voice rang out as she stroked Hermione's head and smiled.

Seeing that their daughter and Kevin were still in good spirits, they felt much more at ease.

They still vividly remember the attacks they suffered during Christmas.

It's clear that things aren't peaceful in the wizarding world right now, and they can also see that their children and Kevin seem to have a close connection to this unrest.

After all, holidays used to be so joyful, but nowadays, people always have to leave before they've even had a chance to stay.

Although our daughter seems to have grown up a lot, as parents, we naturally hope that she can have a more relaxed and happy life.

So they were very happy to see that their daughter still liked to act cute with them as before, at least their daughter hadn't been hurt.

"Come on, Mom has prepared a big meal for you today."

Mr. Granger patted his daughter's head, then patted Kevin on the shoulder and smiled.

So Kevin and Hermione waved goodbye to Harry and the others who were still at the station in the distance, and then they all got on the train and went home.

......

After Kevin and Hermione left, Harry returned to the Order of the Phoenix with Sirius Black, Ron and his siblings returned to the Burrow, and Draco was once again picked up by Narcissa.

"Mother, I'm back."

Draco walked up to Narcissa and said.

"Welcome back, Draco. It seems you and your friends have rekindled your friendship."

Draco smiled and nodded.

Draco had actually told his parents about their fake falling out back then.

So they also learned about all of Kevin's actions.

Their family was able to escape Voldemort's control thanks to Kevin.

However, it seems that Voldemort's targeting of their family is also due to Draco and Kevin's close relationship.

Of course, even without this connection, Voldemort wouldn't have been very kind to their family.

Narcissa had long wanted to get rid of Voldemort, but she had no other choice before.

Now we can truly draw a line, and even if we face the retaliation of Voldemort and many purebloods, it's better than before.

Moreover, it's not certain that Voldemort will have the last laugh.

"Let's go, Draco, let's go home. Oh, by the way, we have a distinguished guest visiting recently. Don't forget your manners when you meet them."

Narcissa spoke softly, and began to tell Draco about the guests at her home.

Although she didn't know what kind of guests could come given the current dire situation at home, she nodded nonetheless.

"That old gentleman is a very nice person and knows a lot. Perhaps if you're a little sweet-talking, you can learn a lot from him."

As Draco listened to his mother's introduction, he became even more curious about who this distinguished guest was.

When we got home, my father, though not one to smile, was still waiting for me in the living room, pretending to be very busy.

When they saw Draco return, they took him upstairs and greeted the old man.

"Mr. Grindelwald, this is the son I mentioned to you before."

Upon arriving at the second-floor lobby, Lucius led Draco toward Grindelwald inside and spoke.

"Hello, I am Draco Malfoy, it's a pleasure to meet you..."

Draco felt a little pressured by his parents' respectful attitude towards guests, as if they were about to meet some very important person.

He stammered at first, but when he saw the old man's face clearly, he was stunned.

Because that person was the mysterious old man that Kevin had created with his magic, the one who forced Kevin to rely on self-destruction to escape.

......

After Kevin and Hermione returned home, they spent the rest of their time at the Grangers' place, except for putting away their luggage, until they finally went back to their little house next door in the evening.

As soon as she got back, Hermione sprawled out on the sofa without any regard for her image.

"It feels so good to be home!"

Crookshanks suddenly appeared out of nowhere, meowed like Hermione, and climbed onto her.

However, Kevin ruthlessly threw Crookshanks off the cliff and then picked Hermione up.

Little Hermione didn't resist, squinting her eyes and enjoying the moment, her whole body relaxed like a lump of mud, letting Kevin pick her up.

Perhaps because Kevin spoiled her, Hermione sometimes acts a little mischievous.

For example, when Kevin was in his workspace until curfew, he would take advantage of the fact that no one was around and have Kevin carry him back to his dorm, then put him down when they reached the door.

Although Kevin had complained about her, he had never refused her.

Over time, Hermione got used to Kevin carrying her in his arms like a princess.

"By the way, Hermione."

Kevin, who was holding Hermione, suddenly called out.

"Hmm~?" Hermione responded lazily.

"Have you gained weight?"

As Kevin spoke, he weighed Hermione in his arms as if he were assessing the weight of an object.

"..."

However, as soon as Kevin said this, Hermione's squinty smile froze, and several veins bulged on her forehead.

She tried her best to keep smiling and asked, "...No way, where have I gotten fat?"

"I hold you every day, so I can tell how heavy you are just by lifting you up."

Kevin said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Several veins bulged on Hermione's forehead again.

"Kevin, put me down," Hermione whispered.

"Huh? Why?"

Kevin was taken aback. Was Hermione worried that he wouldn't be able to carry her?

"It's okay, Hermione. You know how strong I am. Even if you get heavier, I can still carry you."

However, Hermione was not happy when she heard Kevin's words; her eyes turned red.

Sinai!
