Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"Ouch, be gentle, it hurts!"

A soft, coquettish voice came from Hermione's room.

"There's no way around it, it's too tight."

"Then slow down."

A series of suggestive words were uttered.

Mr. Granger, who was eavesdropping at the stairwell, was about to rush in with a knife, but was fortunately stopped by Mrs. Granger who held him tightly.

Hearing a commotion outside the door, Hermione and Kevin went out together and saw the Grangers in strange poses.

Hermione blushed, realizing she had misunderstood something.

Kevin saw the murderous look in Mr. Granger's eyes and realized something.

"What are you doing?" ×2

Mrs. Granger and Hermione asked at the same time.

"Huh?" Hermione was taken aback. Aren't you guys the ones doing this?

"Ahem, Uncle and Aunt, I was just fixing Hermione's hair... It was wrapped too tightly, and when I pulled it out, I used too much force and it hurt Hermione..." Kevin felt that if he didn't explain, Mr. Granger would really come up and kill him.

As expected, the Grangers, who had been locked in a power struggle, stopped immediately upon hearing this.

They looked at Hermione's hair; there were indeed some sparse strands tangled together, which looked difficult to untangle.

Mr. Granger's flushed face suddenly cooled down and returned to its normal color.

Mrs. Granger also breathed a sigh of relief. No, wait, why does it look a bit like that?

Your daughter is only 12 years old!

After the little incident, Kevin finally managed to straighten Hermione's hair after a lot of effort, and said he would never do it again.

In the end, it's only yourself who suffers.

For the next two days, Hermione happily dragged Kevin shopping to buy some Christmas items.

The streets were bustling with activity as Christmas approached.

Kevin was worried about getting separated from Hermione, so he took Hermione's hand.

It's soft and feels nice to squeeze.

Hermione blushed slightly but didn't break free.

However, she was quickly drawn in by the lively holiday atmosphere and excitedly dragged Kevin to browse the holiday sale stores.

Kevin bought a Christmas hat and a fake beard for Hermione to wear.

He instantly transformed into a little old man.

Hermione deliberately spoke in a very old-fashioned voice, playing the role of Santa Claus.

Hermione also bought Kevin a reindeer antler headgear.

That way, she becomes Santa Claus, and Kevin becomes her mount.

The Grangers, who were following far behind, also smiled happily.

Their daughter is indeed much more cheerful and lively than before.

And all of this is thanks to Kevin.

Kevin fed Hermione a candy, and little Hermione blushed and obediently opened her mouth to accept Kevin's feeding.

Hermione's lovely big eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.

Because she was looking at Kevin's face, her heart couldn't help but flutter. This was the first time in her life that she had such an unnatural heartbeat, the first time that she had been so captivated by someone.

She was greedily enjoying this happy time.

She made a wish to Santa Claus in her heart that they would never be separated.

Merry Christmas, Hermione.

Merry Christmas, Kevin.

As the New Year's bells rang, Kevin and Hermione whispered their Christmas wishes.

Hermione followed her heart, approached Kevin, gave him a light kiss on the cheek, and then ran away.

Kevin touched his cheek, which was still slightly warm, and his heart began to race uncontrollably.

Christmas ended in this ambiguous atmosphere.

After returning home, Hermione was afraid to be in the same space as Kevin for a while.

The thought of her intimate moments with Kevin made her blush and stammer.

It wasn't until the next day, when Hermione and Kevin received many gifts brought by owls, that she calmed down a lot, though her expressions were still a little unnatural.

"Wow, these two guys have a pretty good plan."

Kevin smiled as he looked at the gifts Harry and Ron had given him: a notebook to one of them and a quill pen to the other.

They gave Hermione the same thing, the same packaging, the same product.

Kevin gave each of them a potion set, containing all sorts of red and blue potions, mainly for survival.

Kevin had secretly concocted the medicine himself by withholding Snape's supplies some time ago.

"Sneaking around" means not noticing Snape was spying...

Moreover, he rummaged through Snape's workshop and actually found the Half-Blood Prince's treasure, where he learned quite a bit.

I suppose Professor Snape didn't notice?

But the next moment he discovered that he had actually received a gift from Snape.

The wealth of the half-blood prince.

Attached was a note: If you rummage through my workspace again, you don't need to come here anymore.

"Oh no, we're doomed."

"Did you rummage through Professor Snape's workroom?" Hercat had been secretly watching Kevin, and when she saw him suddenly gasp, she peeked over and saw the note.

"right..."

"Serves you right." Hermione couldn't help but chuckle.

Their atmosphere is gradually returning to normal.

Professor McGonagall also gave gifts to the two of them.

Hermione's was actually the Time-Turner that appeared in the third book. Inside was a note that Professor McGonagall had gone to great lengths to borrow it from the Ministry of Magic, and she was very serious about not using it for anything other than studying.

Because Hermione often didn't do as well as Kevin in her studies, she worked even harder and complained to Professor McGonagall about not having enough time. Surprisingly, Professor McGonagall actually helped her find a way to get more time.

Kevin received a backpack with a seamless stretching spell, whose capacity far exceeded Snape's cloth bag.

Kevin gave Professor McGonagall a potions set, since potions were the only thing he could offer her.

Hagrid also gave Kevin a gift, which turned out to be a big bag of all sorts of magical creature "drops," which could be sold for several thousand Galleons.

However, Kevin certainly wouldn't sell them; he could keep them to make potions.

Kevin gave Hagrid, well, except for Hermione, he gave everyone else life-saving potion sets.

Hermione and Kevin cleverly saved each other's gifts for last.

Hermione opened the gift box Kevin had given her. Inside lay a heavy book, clearly showing signs of being read.

"It might look a little worn, but there's nothing I can do about it; it's just necessary wear and tear." Kevin scratched his head, admitting he wasn't sure if Hermione would like the gift.

Hermione turned to the first page, which read: Kevin's Fortune

Each subsequent page was filled with densely packed handwritten information.

Various potion recipes, the effects of various herbs, and their different applications.

These are Kevin's own creations of his wealth, though somewhat rudimentary, they are genuine and substantial.

He poured all his understanding of potions into it, and even had Snape review it, but Snape couldn't find any fault with it.

In some places, there are even cute illustrations drawn by Kevin himself.

Unlike the rigid structure of textbooks, Kevin annotated his own insights, filling almost every page with notes. However, it didn't feel chaotic at all; instead, it felt progressive and well-organized.

Because every page, every word, was written in order only after Kevin personally experimented many times and deeply understood it.

Hermione stroked the worn book, recalling how Kevin had almost disappeared from school recently. Every time she saw him, her dark circles were getting worse, but he would still smile and tell Hermione that he was fine.

She could almost see Kevin hunched over his desk day and night, engrossed in writing these contents, and she could feel the weight this book carried.

Hermione threw herself into Kevin's arms.

"Thank you, Kevin, I really like it."

"I'm glad you like it. By the way, I had Professor Snape put a hardening charm on this book. Although it looks old, it won't break no matter how many times you flip through it. You can use it with confidence. It's more durable than a brick."

Kevin gently stroked the cat in his arms and even did a silly thing.

"Pfft, idiot~" Hermione in his arms was amused and rubbed against him like a cat.

Kevin opened Hermione's gift, which was a dark blue magic cloak with two golden vertical stripes extending from the cloak's opening to the bottom.

Kevin immediately noticed Hermione's embarrassment in his arms; she seemed to be embarrassed about something.

It turns out she made the cloak herself; the materials were of high quality, seemingly some kind of magical material, but the workmanship was hard to assess.

Just kidding, Hermione made it herself, he'd love it more than anything.

Kevin immediately stood up and draped the cloak over his shoulders.

Hermione had specially made a crest on her shoulder, similar to a noble shawl. The length of the shawl was just up to Kevin's ankles, and it should fit him better as he grows taller.

She learned all of this from books and also consulted Professor McGonagall.

"Is he handsome?"

"Hmph, my handsome appearance is also thanks to my cloak."

Looking at the arrogant Kevin, Hermione retorted defiantly.

"That's what makes him handsome," Kevin laughed.

......

Kevin then made a special trip back to the orphanage.

"Grandpa Dean."

Dean Hope, who was clearing snow in the courtyard, heard the sound and turned around. It was Kevin, who had gone to Hogwarts a few months ago.

"Kevin, you're back? You got expelled?" Dean Hope said with great surprise.

"Uh..." Kevin, who was about to go up and hug the dean, was speechless.

"Is it possible that it's holiday time right now?"

"Haha, it's all the same, it's good that you're back." Hopes chuckled as he hugged Kevin, his withered old hand gently patting Kevin's back.

Then, to Dean Hope's astonishment, Kevin pulled out a large amount of food and drink from the cloth bag containing the Unseen Stretching Charm.

They said they would distribute these to the other children in the orphanage and also gave the director a considerable sum of money.

Kevin is now considered a minor potion master. With Galleons trading at a higher rate than pounds, he earns enough to buy quite a few things.

And this is just the beginning; Kevin will become stronger and stronger, and he will have more and more money in the future.

The director was overjoyed all day and treated all the children in the orphanage to a big meal.

Kevin stayed at the orphanage for a few days, during which Hermione came to visit him, and the director told Hermione some stories about Kevin's childhood.

Although Kevin is a time traveler and was very mature as a child, a man is still a boy until he dies. He used his childhood as an excuse to do many foolish things.

For example, peeing into your own mouth while standing upside down...

Hermione laughed so hard she almost fell over, while Kevin, feeling utterly hopeless, plotted how to get the Grangers to spill some dirt on Hermione.

And so, the Christmas holidays came to an end.
