Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Kevin then returned to the orphanage, bringing a bunch of things with him. He had returned home in triumph, even though he hadn't graduated yet.

Then Kevin discussed his request to move out with Dean Hope.

"Yes, Kevin, you've really grown up. It's time for you to live independently."

Dean Hope looked at Kevin in front of him with satisfaction; he had grown taller than last year.

At only 12 years old, she can already earn money to rent a place.

"Kevin will never forget the kindness of the orphanage in raising him over the years. Even if I leave here, this will still be my home."

"Good boy, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Go out and explore the world!" Dean Hope laughed heartily and patted Kevin on the shoulder happily.

"Come with me, it's time to give you some things."

After saying that, Dean Hope led Kevin to his dormitory.

Kevin was very curious. Could it be that the person who abandoned him back then left something on him?

Dean Hope went to his bedside table and unlocked it.

Take out a cloth bag that is tightly wrapped.

"Grandpa Dean, what is this?"

"It's the thing I put in your arms when I found you back then."

"There was a piece of paper on it that said this package contained something for you, and it was probably left by your parents."

Kevin took the package and fell silent. If they'd abandoned him, why leave him something? Had they run into some trouble and had no choice but to send him to the orphanage...?

"Let's open it and take a look first," Kevin began to unpack the cloth bag.

The first thing that catches the eye is two small silver bracelets, each inlaid with gemstones, one blue and one pink, sparkling brilliantly; they must be a pair.

This manufacturing process doesn't seem like something from a Muggle era.

Could it be that I have some unique background? Isn't that how it's always portrayed in movies?

Kevin tried to infuse the bracelets with magic, and they glowed with a soft light.

However, Dean Hope seemed unable to see this light.

It seems his parents were also wizards, otherwise they wouldn't have left him something like this.

There was also a yellowed letter inside the package.

The inscription reads: To Kevin.

Open the envelope:

Kevin, my dear son, by the time you read this letter, your father and mother will no longer be alive. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be all grown up by now.

Your parents were unable to protect you back then, so they had to entrust you to an orphanage.

We hope you won't blame us.

We haven't given you a surname. If a kind person adopts you in the future, you will take their family name.

If no one adopts you, then just pick any name for yourself.

This bracelet is a keepsake we left for you.

Nothing special. You can wear the blue one yourself, and give the pink one to the girl you like.

Love, Mom and Dad.

......

The letter ended there; it was very short and offered no clues about his background.

However, it is certain that his parents were both witches, and something happened back then that forced them to send him to an orphanage to protect him.

He was born when Voldemort was still alive. Death Eaters were rampant at that time. Were his parents affected by the turmoil of that year?

Although he had little affection for his biological parents in this world, this simple letter still revealed emotions that moved Kevin.

However, isn't there a bit too much blank space in this letter...?

His parents never mentioned anything about the wizarding world, clearly not intending to tell him anything about wizards, but why were the relics they left behind belonging to wizards?

Kevin tried to imbue the letter with magic.

New writing gradually appeared on the blank areas of the letter!

It says above:

Kevin, if you're reading this, it proves you're a little wizard with magic powers too.

Even so, your parents don't want you to bear any burden for us. You just need to continue living happily and study at the magic academy.

You'll probably go to Hogwarts, right? That's where your parents met.

Perhaps you'll meet your future partner there.

That bracelet was also a magical item.

Infuse one of them with magic, and even if you're separated by the ends of the earth, the other will light up, guiding you toward your other half.

This pair of bracelets is only complete when they are together.

If you haven't found a girl you like yet, wear both of them together; they'll bring you good luck.

Even after you give it away, staying with your partner will still bring you good luck.

Finally, your parents hope that you will take good care of yourself and your family.

The wizarding world offers many opportunities, but also many dangers.

We believe in you.

There will be a story that belongs to you.

......

Kevin put down the envelope and sighed.

Even though he was a wizard, his parents didn't reveal any information. Were they afraid of burdening him, or afraid of being discovered?

They seem to have devoted much more attention to this bracelet. Is there something special about it?

The doubts not only remained unresolved, but actually increased.

Dean Hope didn't offer any words of comfort, he just patted Kevin on the shoulder.

Kevin picked up the two bracelets, thought for a moment, and then put both on at the same time.

He certainly wanted to give the pink one to Hermione.

However, the time is not yet right.

The bracelet truly lives up to its magical reputation; it automatically adjusts to the perfect size after being put on, neither too loose nor too tight.

Afterwards, Kevin composed himself and continued with his life.

He was happy to have parents who loved him, and saddened that they had passed away.

However, he will not fall into a state of despondency and depression.

As stated in the letter, he will continue to live happily and write his own story.

His parents also hoped that he would be like that.

Unfortunately, they did not leave their names, so we cannot find their information or know where they were buried.

......

Kevin stayed at the orphanage for two days before saying goodbye to the director and setting off for Hermione's house.

He needed to ask Hermione's parents to help him find a place to rent.

Before renting a place, I'll stay at Hermione's house for a few days.

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Kevin arrived at Hermione's house, where the Grangers were home to welcome him, as they happened to be off work that day.

"What are you saying, child? Why are you being so distant?"

Mrs. Granger happily picked up Kevin and kissed his little cheek.

Kevin couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to let the enthusiastic Mrs. Granger hug him and kiss him.

Little Hermione, hiding in the back, puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Thanks to Mrs. Granger's antics, Kevin realized there was no need to be too distant; they would eventually become family.

[doge emoji]

Then the family had a happy dinner together.

"Kevin, what are you wearing on your hand?"

At the dinner table, Hermione noticed that Kevin was wearing jewelry on the hand that was holding the cutlery, something she hadn't seen just a couple of days ago.

"This is a memento left to me by my parents," Kevin said while eating.

The Grangers paused, both looking at Kevin.

Hermione knew Kevin never cared about her being an orphan, but that was when Kevin didn't know anything about his parents; now...

"Kevin, I'm sorry, I..."

"Don't worry about it, Hermione, just like before." Kevin smiled and shook his head.

"I only found out the day before yesterday that my parents left me some belongings. Dean Hope has been keeping them for me, saying that I'm capable of living on my own now, so he gave them to me."

Kevin briefly described the contents of the letter, but didn't mention anything about the bracelet.

Hermione slowly reached out and grasped Kevin's hand tightly.

Mrs. Granger stood up with a look of tenderness, went to Kevin's side, and hugged him tightly.

If his mother were still alive, he would also have such a warm embrace.

Kevin thought to himself.

Mr. Granger, standing nearby, also felt deep regret; Kevin was such a good child, yet his parents passed away so young...

He looked at the pitiful child held in his wife's arms, and after a moment of contemplation:

"Kevin... this might be a bit sudden to say now, but I want to ask you, would you like to become a child in our family?"

Mr. Granger seemed to have considered it for a long time before finally asking Kevin a question with a serious expression.

Hermione looked at her father in astonishment. She hadn't expected him to decide to adopt Kevin. Then she looked at Kevin with joy and anticipation in her eyes.

Kevin was equally surprised that Mr. Granger had the idea of ​​adopting him.

However, after a moment of silence, Kevin slowly shook his head.

Hermione's expression instantly darkened, and she looked at Kevin with a sad face, somewhat unable to understand why Kevin was unwilling to come to her house and live with her.

Mr. Granger also sighed, but still respected Kevin's choice.

Mrs. Granger went a bit too far, shoving Kevin into her arms and yelling that Kevin should agree, as she had always wanted a son.

Kevin finally managed to break free and asked Mrs. Granger to calm down.

He also noticed Hermione's little mood and helplessly reached out to pat her head.

"I'm sorry, Hermione, and Uncle and Auntie."

"It's not that I don't like you, but I don't want to become your family in this way."

Upon hearing this, the Grangers thought, "There's hope! But how do you hope it will be done?"

Hermione lowered her head in disappointment, barely listening and not understanding the hidden meaning in Kevin's words.

Kevin looked at Hermione with a smile, stroking her little head repeatedly to soothe her.

The Grangers finally understood; so that's what you were planning.

Mr. Granger was so angry he laughed.

After dinner, Kevin told Hermione to take a shower first, to cheer up, as it wasn't like he didn't want her anymore.

After Hermione went upstairs to take a bath, looking dejected, Kevin looked at the Grangers.

"Uncle and Aunt, I actually have another request, and I need your help."
