Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"Bella?"

Kevin frowned. Upon hearing the name, Kevin almost instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

"That's right, Bella is practically the Mystic's right-hand woman."

"If the mysterious man has anything he needs to entrust to anyone, Bella is definitely the first choice."

After gathering his thoughts, Lucius spoke slowly.

Because among the Death Eaters, Bella is undoubtedly the one with the highest status, without exception.

"I also saw it in the newspaper. A while ago, a mysterious person broke into the Ministry of Magic. I suppose it was to rescue Bella."

"But the mysterious man ultimately failed, and Bella did not escape."

The Daily Prophet did indeed report on the mysterious person's intrusion into the Ministry of Magic.

They also issued arrest warrants for the escaped Death Eaters.

There was no warrant for Bella's arrest, and since Lucius had some connections in the Ministry of Magic, he could easily find out about Bella's situation with a simple inquiry.

As Kevin listened to Lucius's story, his sense of unease grew stronger.

He didn't really know much about the Death Eaters organization, since anyone could just be dealt with by a single blow.

He only just realized that Bella held such a high position in Voldemort's inner circle.

In that case, Voldemort would have no reason to abandon Bellatrix.

Regardless, let's go to the Ministry of Magic and interrogate Bella first.

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask Bella about the rest."

Kevin stood up and spoke slowly, about to leave.

But Lucius's slightly surprised voice rang out again.

"Didn't you know? Bella has already been executed by the Ministry of Magic."

Kevin paused, looking at Lucius in disbelief.

"?"

Now it was Kevin's turn to be surprised.

He really didn't know that.

But that doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the Ministry of Magic make a big fuss about executing Death Eaters to deter other outlaws?

Especially for Death Eaters of Bella's caliber, they should be praised to the skies.

How could there be absolutely no news?

"The day after the Man of Void invaded the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry immediately executed the last remaining Death Eater, Bellatrix, who was the only Death Eater who was not rescued."

Seeing that Kevin seemed genuinely unaware, Lucius explained Bella's situation as well.

Immediately, uniquely.

These two words intensified Kevin's sense of unease.

Given that he only found out about Bella's execution now, he had a feeling that he had been deliberately kept in the dark.

Or perhaps, this is something that could be easily found out by asking around, but Kevin's recent attention has been entirely focused on the Death Eaters who were rescued.

They paid no attention to the situation of the Death Eaters who had not escaped from the Ministry of Magic.

"What else do you know about Bella?"

Kevin lowered his head and pondered for a while, feeling that he needed to find out more about this matter, but he still needed to continue to learn more about Bella from Lucius.

After all, she is dead, and there probably aren't many people who know her.

"Well... I don't have much interaction with her, except that she and my wife are sisters. Perhaps you could ask Narcissa."

Lucius paused for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"All I know is that she usually has no fixed abode and always follows the mysterious man. Even when she married into the Lestrange family, she personally blew up their ancestral home."

Upon hearing that he was homeless, Kevin suddenly asked.

"Doesn't she have a place to stay? She needs some space of her own, doesn't she?"

The main reason for asking this question is to explore the possible locations where Bella might have hidden items.

"Hmm...no, she follows the mysterious person almost everywhere. She can directly steal their food, clothing, and daily necessities, or order people to prepare them."

"If it were valuable items, she would probably have stored them in Gringotts. Almost every Death Eater has a vault in Gringotts."

"Bella's vault is said to be a top-level vault, guarded by a fire dragon."

After listening to Lucius, Kevin nodded, having learned most of what he needed to know.

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the information."

After Kevin finished speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back, intending to go find Harry and the others.

However, the door was opened first, and Narcissa was standing outside; she seemed to have been outside the whole time.

"Lucius."

As soon as she came in, she called out to Lucius earnestly.

It seems to be urging something.

Kevin looked at Lucius strangely and found that his face looked as if he had eaten shit.

Finally, Lucius sighed, stood up, and looked at Kevin.

"...Sigh, I understand...Phew, Kevin...X, thank you so much for saving our family..."

Upon hearing Lucius's thanks, Kevin blinked in disbelief, then looked at Narcissa and found her looking at him with the same sincere expression.

"..."

"I told you, I wouldn't care about you guys if it weren't for Draco."

Kevin paused briefly, then shook his head and spoke slowly.

Hearing Kevin's words, Narcissa looked somewhat disappointed. She had always hoped that Lucius could reconcile with Kevin.

On a moral level, his whole family owes Kevin.

From a financial perspective, being on good terms with Kevin is entirely beneficial to his family.

"I'm leaving now. I'll come visit again next time. I'll also take Draco with me."

However, Kevin left a final remark and turned to leave.

These words brought a smile back to Narcissa's face. Kevin's willingness to visit meant that there was still a possibility for their family's relationship with Kevin to continue developing.

Meanwhile, Kevin had already left the main building and was heading towards the garden where Harry and the others were.

"Kevin, you're back. How did the talks go?"

Hermione spotted Kevin from afar and stood up to speak to him.

"We've gained something, so let's go back."

Kevin approached, talking as he walked towards Draco's position.

"Leaving so soon?"

Harry and Ron seemed to have explored enough, and when Draco mentioned there was a large maze on the other side of the garden, they were both very interested.

"That's right, I need to speak with Uncle Arthur."

Hearing Kevin's words, the two could only nod.

"Okay, then the school again... Kevin, what are you doing?"

Draco was a little disappointed to see that they were really leaving. He was just thinking of saying goodbye when Kevin walked up to him and suddenly picked him up.

"See you later, anyway, school starts soon. Elbow, come back with us."

Kevin laughed, leaving no room for argument.

Draco, who had been lifted up, was still completely bewildered and had no idea what was happening.

"No, wait a minute?"

Draco instinctively flailed a few times in an attempt to struggle, but Harry and Ron moved in perfect unison, each on one side, and locked Draco in place.

Hermione smiled helplessly, then went to Kevin's side and took his hand.

"Are you all holding on tight?"

Harry and Ron nodded, while Draco continued to flap his wings vigorously.

"Wait, wait a minute! I haven't done anything yet..."

The next second, before Draco could finish speaking, with a snap, they Apparated and vanished from the spot.
