Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Besides Kevin, Harry, and Hermione, quite a few students were invited to the dinner, including familiar faces like Ginny and Neville.

Weasley, Longbottom, and Potter are all well-known surnames in the wizarding world.

Kevin and Hermione were among the best students.

In any case, none of them were ordinary.

I heard that Grindelwald was also invited.

However, Kevin didn't care about any of this, because he didn't really want to attend that dinner party.

Horace's intelligence was of no value to Kevin; he'd be better off looking for clues about the Hufflepuff Cup.

Moreover, Kevin can't become Horace's student; he's Snape's man now.

So let Harry handle this task of PUA Horace.

Kevin was lost in thought.

A letter flew in through the workroom window and landed on Kevin's desk.

It was sent by Professor Snape.

Collect ten portions of the brain marrow from the eight-eyed giant spider and deliver them to my workshop before dark.

There's an experiment tonight to improve a magic potion, and you'll be participating.

—Snape

After reading it, Kevin blinked, showing no surprise.

This wasn't the first time Professor Snape had ordered him around.

However, it just so happens that I also have something to discuss with him. As an honorary Death Eater, Professor Snape's experience with the Killing Curse is still worth asking him for advice.

With this thought in mind, Kevin got up and left the workshop, heading towards the Forbidden Forest.

The eight-eyed giant spider is quite rampant in the Forbidden Forest.

Aside from the time Kevin went to the Forbidden Forest to train a few years ago, he caused a great disturbance and killed many eight-eyed giant spiders.

At other times, the eight-eyed giant spiders reproduce as if they had no natural enemies.

And of these eight-eyed giant spiders, Hagrid killed them all without hesitation, except for his pet friend Aragog.

It's practically a natural spot for farming loot and monsters.

......

In the forbidden forest.

"Old friend, I think my days are numbered."

"No, Aragog, you're so healthy, you can definitely live for several more years."

A massive eight-eyed spider lay exhausted on the ground, its once-impressive eight enormous eyes now tinged with a deathly gray.

Aragog grazed Hagrid's arm with its foot, as if it were being scratched by a dry twig.

Hagrid, his face filled with sorrow, stroked Aragog's head.

"Heh, if only that were true..."

The sound came from Aragog's enormous mouth, and it was full of weariness and despondency.

"Promise me...take good care of my children and grandchildren, my old friend."

"Of course, Aragog, I will take good care of them."

Hagrid nodded, as if he had come to terms with reality, and said heavily.

Just as the man and the spider fell silent to each other.

With a loud bang!

A young, eight-eyed giant spider fell from the sky and crashed near them.

"Gah..."

The eight-eyed giant spider only let out two painful hissses before turning into a corpse.

Hagrid and Aragog were still in shock.

A voice that they were all very familiar with rang out.

Unlike Hagrid's friendliness, Aragog was filled with fear.

The owner of this voice had slaughtered their entire clan, forcing them to hide deep in the Forbidden Forest and seek Hagrid's help.

"Uncle Hagrid? What are you doing here?"

Kevin was standing on a huge tree root, holding a crowbar in one hand, looking at Hagrid with a strange expression as he held an old, eight-eyed giant spider.

"Kevin? I should be asking you what you're doing! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't kill those eight-eyed giant spiders indiscriminately anymore?"

When Hagrid saw Kevin and the crowbar in his hand, he immediately understood that Kevin had killed the young eight-eyed giant spider.

"Please, Uncle Hagrid, this isn't indiscriminate killing, it's that these giant spiders have become an infestation."

"When I passed by a centaur tribe just now, I found that they were being attacked by hundreds of giant eight-eyed spiders."

Kevin said helplessly.

He also recognized the old giant spider as Hagrid's old friend Aragog.

"..."

After hearing Kevin's words, Hagrid fell silent for a moment.

That seems to be true.

But it was rather awkward. They had just promised Aragog that they would take good care of his offspring, and now Kevin had killed an eight-eyed giant spider right in front of them.

"Kevin, I'll handle this. Leave it to me."

Hagrid had no choice but to deal with Kevin first and then handle the matter later.

Kevin shrugged, understanding Hagrid's dilemma.

Aragog was his friend, presumably nearing the end of his life and making arrangements for his funeral, only to be proven wrong by Kevin.

"Okay, then you can handle it yourself."

"However, Uncle Hagrid, I would like to remind you that the more you protect these eight-eyed giant spiders, the more rampant they will become, and in the end, they will be subject to an even more thorough eradication."

"Don't try to do something good that ends up making things worse."

Since Kevin had already achieved his goal, there was no need to continue killing the eight-eyed giant spider, so he agreed to Hagrid's request.

With a wave of his hand, the corpse of the eight-eyed giant spider flew up.

Kevin planned to take the bodies elsewhere to dispose of them and collect their brains, rather than disturbing them in front of them here.

After Kevin left, the room fell silent again.

"...Old friend, I suddenly feel like I can live a little longer..."

Aragog seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before death, and he straightened up, speaking in a trembling voice.

"I think that person is right. If we don't restrict the ethnic groups, they will surely suffer annihilation in the future."

"Oh, Aragog, it's wonderful that you think that way."

Hagrid was astonished by Aragog's brief resurgence and its sudden awakening.

However, this is not enlightenment at all.

It was Aragog's intuition that told him so.

If their species isn't restricted, Kevin will be the bane of their entire race...

After all, once he dies, he won't be able to seek Hagrid's protection as before.

If Kevin were to sneak in one day and slaughter his descendants, Hagrid might not even know it.

......

"Here you are, Professor, what you need is brain marrow."

After collecting the brains of 10 eight-eyed spiders, Kevin went directly to Professor Snape's workshop.

At this moment, the old man seemed to be preparing something, with various bottles and jars covering the table.

The most unusual items were several bottles containing what appeared to be memory foam threads.

When Professor Snape saw Kevin enter, he didn't say anything, but waved his hand and placed the ten portions of brain marrow in their corresponding positions.

"Are you preparing these materials to improve the locking agent?"

Looking at Snape's desk, Kevin thought for a moment and asked.

"Um."

Professor Snape nodded slightly.

The Heart-Locking Potion is a kind of magical potion that can temporarily give a person an effect similar to the Occupy Central technique.

It can be used to deal with mind control and spiritual manipulation.

The normal effects of the medicine only last for one to two days. Judging from the materials prepared, this improvement should be aimed at prolonging the effects.
