Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"No, no, no! Grindelwald, stop!!"

Dumbledore watched as Grindelwald chanted the spell, a ghastly green curse sending Kevin flying, and roared hoarsely.

Kevin's body flew several meters like a rag doll before crashing to the ground.

Dumbledore stared in disbelief at Kevin's lifeless body, his hands trembling.

Kevin, who was wildly arrogant since first grade; Kevin, who was optimistic, cheerful, kind, and righteous; Kevin, who liked to cause trouble from time to time.

It has now become a lifeless corpse.

It's all my fault.

He believed Grindelwald's lies, knowing full well that Grindelwald and Voldemort had a pact, yet he allowed him to approach Kevin and enter Hogwarts.

It was him who killed Kevin...

With Kevin's death, a golden light simultaneously shone from the right hands of both Grindelwald and Voldemort.

The unbreakable vow has been fulfilled.

Voldemort instinctively looked at Grindelwald beside him, only to see that Grindelwald's wand was now pointed at his head.

Almost the next moment, Voldemort twisted and disappeared from the spot with a snap, while a Killing Curse almost grazed Voldemort's nose.

Well, if Voldemort had a nose, he probably would have been caught off guard...

During the duration of an unbreakable oath, the two parties who swore the oath cannot be enemies, otherwise they will be killed directly by the power of the oath.

That's why Grindelwald turned and attacked Voldemort the moment he fulfilled his oath.

"Grindelwald! What are you doing?!"

Voldemort appeared on the other side, shouting in shock and rage.

He had considered that he and Grindelwald would eventually become enemies, but he never expected Grindelwald to betray him so quickly.

He just betrayed Dumbledore, so he should be on the same side as him now, because Dumbledore can no longer be on his side unless he wants to be enemies with both Dumbledore and himself at the same time.

However, Voldemort and Grindelwald didn't even have time to exchange insults.

With Voldemort's restrictions lifted, Dumbledore was finally able to move freely.

A terrifying burst of lava fire rose from Dumbledore's hand, but he paid no attention to why the two of them were fighting each other at this point.

He unleashed a burst of flames, transforming it into a sea of ​​fire that attacked Voldemort and Grindelwald simultaneously.

The two of them worked together to withstand the flames and were thus spared from being burned.

Dumbledore pulled out the wand that had been with him for most of his life. Before he obtained the Elder Wand, he had used this wand to defeat Grindelwald.

The version's dominant weapon was directly replaced by the weapon that is the user's signature weapon.

Dumbledore's gaze was frighteningly calm as he stared intently at Voldemort and Grindelwald.

With a wave of his hand, several magical spells shot into the sky.

Anti-Phantom Shift, Wall of Trapped Beasts, No Entry or Exit.

Several sealing spells were cast, and the entire valley was enveloped by Dumbledore's barrier.

In any case, only one person can leave here alive today.

......

This is Hogwarts Castle.

Dark clouds gathered, and a quarter of an hour had passed since Dumbledore left, with more and more Death Eaters appearing around the castle.

Although the Ministry of Magic personnel were also arriving via the Floo Network, the difference in numbers remained enormous.

The younger students had already been sent out of Hogwarts through some secret passages.

Who would have thought that I would have to run away from school again after just returning today?

Some of the older students left, while others chose to stay and protect Hogwarts.

The main force behind this was the enhanced class members, led by Harry.

"Super armor protects you, making you impregnable, driving back the enemy, ultimate defense, protecting you from all harms."

Professor McGonagall led a group of professors and Aurors to cast a defensive spell on the sky. A white shield, occasionally flashing with golden light, slowly descended, firmly protecting Hogwarts Castle.

Before Dumbledore returned, they chose to defend the castle and resist the Death Eaters' attack.

Fighting the Death Eaters directly could result in unnecessary casualties. Once Dumbledore returns, any number of Death Eaters would be futile.

"Stone blocks are being deployed."

After completing the protective shield, Professor McGonagall returned to the castle gate.

With a wave of his wand, the stone statues, which were originally just for decoration, jumped down from the high wall one by one and headed in unison to the bridge at the main gate to block the enemies on the bridge.

Although preparations were almost complete, Death Eaters continued to appear in droves.

If you stand on the top of Hogwarts Castle and look around, you'll see that the hills surrounding the Black Lake are teeming with people.

It's truly unexpected that the Death Eaters could expand to this extent.

The situation was so serious that even Fudge had to bring all of the Ministry of Magic's available forces to the battlefield.

boom!

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred on the distant horizon.

That direction seemed to be where Grindelwald's fire dragon was flying. I wonder if Dumbledore caught up with him and the commotion was caused by fighting Grindelwald with Kevin.

"Hermione, has Kevin responded yet?"

Harry looked in the direction of the explosion and asked without turning his head.

Currently, Hermione is the only one who can contact Kevin, since Kevin has never worn the badge that their Order of the Phoenix uses for self-protection and communication. Therefore, the only way is to ask Hermione.

"..."

But there was no Hermione's voice behind him, only a trembling breath.

"Hmm? Hermione? Are you listening?"

Harry turned around curiously and looked behind him, only to see that Hermione had fallen far behind them at some point.

Her body was trembling slightly, her right hand supporting her left hand, or more precisely, the bracelet on her left wrist.

Harry had a bad feeling and quickly took two steps forward.

Upon closer inspection, Hermione's bracelet on her left wrist was broken.

The silver bracelet that used to gleam had lost its original shine and lay quietly in Hermione's hand.

This was an alchemical artifact connecting Kevin and Hermione's souls, and it suddenly broke without warning.

Harry realized something and looked at Hermione in disbelief.

Hermione looked up helplessly and anxiously, her eyes filled with tears and her lips trembling.

"...Kevin...Kevin he..."

Hermione's voice trembled as she took a deep breath and said, her voice shaking.

"...I...can't feel Kevin anymore..."
