Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Time flies, and it's time to return to Hogwarts again.

The matter concerning Bella has been temporarily resolved, and Dumbledore has received their message, but that's all.

There is absolutely no news about Bella outside of the public now, so there's nothing that can be found.

Therefore, the only direction we can currently trace is Voldemort's stronghold in Little Hangleton.

Dumbledore told Kevin and the others not to worry about the outside world, but to focus on how to extract the real memories from Professor Horace.

We can talk about other things later, there's no rush.

Kevin noticed that Dumbledore didn't seem as anxious as in the movies. Although he would still urge them from time to time, he didn't make them feel pressured.

If I had to say, it felt more relaxed than in the movie.

"Harry, how's your relationship with Professor Horace going?"

On the train back to school, the group sat in a compartment, and Kevin looked at Harry and asked.

Talk to him to find out how things are going.

"Uh, it's alright?"

Harry scratched his head, unsure of his relationship with Professor Horace.

Professor Horace was very knowledgeable, and Harry learned a lot from talking with him. Their relationship became more and more familiar, but it remained only the friendship between teacher and student.

Asking about the Fallen Ones would likely touch on Horace's sensitive topics and provoke his displeasure.

Harry slowly shared his feelings and also hoped that everyone could give him some advice.

"Hmm...maybe you should try talking to Professor Horace about Voldemort. Let's not talk about Horcruxes for now, just talk about this topic and help him desensitize himself to the idea of ​​Voldemort."

Hermione thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.

Desensitizing beforehand is indeed a good method, so that when getting to the point, Professor Horace won't have a stress reaction and his favorability will drop significantly.

"How about we try the self-inflicted injury strategy again?"

Upon hearing Hermione's suggestion, Kevin had a sudden inspiration.

"It's a bit unfair to say this, Harry, but you can walk around in front of Professor Horace with that book that has your parents' pictures on it."

"Then you accidentally bump into him, revealing a photo of your parents, which will trigger Professor Horace's emotions. Then, while the iron is hot, you will criticize Voldemort for causing your family's destruction, while simultaneously appearing pitiful."

Kevin spoke with a rather authoritative tone, going on and on.

"You can continue to mutter to yourself, saying nice things like as long as you find Voldemort's Horcruxes, you can avenge your parents and bring peace to the world."

"At this point, you must not rush to get information out of them; instead, you should pretend that you know nothing."

"You need to make Professor Horace realize your determination to defeat Voldemort, and that crucial information that we're just missing to successfully defeat Voldemort."

"Most importantly, you have to mention that we've successfully found a total of five Horcruxes! That way, Professor Horace will understand just how close we are to defeating Voldemort."

"Of course, you don't have to do all of this at once. You can proceed step by step and break down Professor Horace's psychological defenses little by little."

Kevin rattled off a series of suggestions and precautions at lightning speed, leaving Harry completely bewildered.

Make Professor Horace feel guilty, and then make him understand the key points of the information he has, thereby increasing his sense of mission.

Harry had all of these ideas, but he really hadn't expected this whole set of smooth little moves.

"You still say you don't know how to get information out of people! Liar!"

Harry looked at Kevin with a resentful expression in his eyes.

"Don't say that. Don't let my appearance fool you. I'm very busy every day, otherwise I wouldn't have left you to complete this task alone."

Kevin, of course, noticed Harry's slight mood and patted Harry on the shoulder with a smile.

Harry didn't believe it at all; when he visited Kevin's workshop, he was almost always with Hermione.

Hermione has been studying with Professor McGonagall recently, so she hasn't been seeing Kevin much lately, which is why he's been busy with important matters.

Kevin then stated...

All that busy work is just to solve Voldemort once and for all, so I can be with Hermione every day!

(Hands on hips)

......

As the train pulled into the station, they returned to Hogwarts.

After everyone got off the carriage, they walked together toward the place where they had boarded the horse-drawn carriage.

Just then, a girl with long curly hair and some good looks walked past them.

"Hey, senior Harry."

She greeted Harry with a grin, then trotted off to join her friends.

"Hmm? Uh..."

Harry was also confused. Who is this?

He didn't even have time to see who the girl was.

"who is she."

Almost the instant the girl left, Ginny's voice rang out.

She walked to Harry's side and gently took his hand in hers.

"I can't reach it!"

Harry sensed danger and quickly shook his head vigorously, as if he didn't know the person at all.

"She is Romida Vani, a fourth-year Gryffindor student."

Kevin, who was standing nearby, recognized the student and spoke to the group.

"Ginny, you'd better keep a close eye on Harry. I suspect she's going to give him a love potion."

"In my potions class, she would often ask dangerous questions, such as how to use love potions without being detected, and how long the effects would last."

Upon hearing this, Ginny immediately wanted to pull out her wand and have a duel between women with Romida.

Fortunately, Harry and Ron stopped them in time.

Romida was clearly very interested in Harry, the savior.

This made Harry a little embarrassed. Come on, he finally managed to get together with Ginny.

"Harry, you don't need to be wary of her. We'll definitely notice if anything unusual happens."

"If she brings you any food, just don't eat it."

Kevin waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to worry too much.

Hermione, who was standing nearby, suddenly smiled and said to Ginny.

"Or, Ginny, why don't you take Harry out for walks more often and assert your ownership?"

Hermione's words caused Ginny's cheeks to flush. She glanced at Harry and noticed that he was also looking at her with a red face. The two of them turned their heads away at the same time.

They're officially together now, but to be honest, Kevin and the others still don't really know how they got together. It seems like they just suddenly started dating after fourth grade.

The key is that if others don't point it out, they won't notice anything wrong, as if it's perfectly natural for them to be together.

They're still not as reliable as Hermione and me.

Thinking this, Kevin took Hermione's hand and secretly tickled her palm.

She blushed, clapped her hands, and got into the Thestral carriage first.

Kevin followed her eagerly and whispered something in Hermione's ear.

I don't know what she was saying, but all I know is that Hermione's ears turned red.

"..."

Harry was speechless at the sight of the two of them, while Ginny was filled with envy.

Ron and Draco said they were used to it, exchanged a glance, and smiled knowingly.

Hey bro, you can't sneak off!
