Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Time flies, and Harry and his friends have already graduated from Hogwarts and entered society.

I hadn't seen Harry for a long time after graduation. When I saw him again, he was holding a baby who was already a bit overweight.

That's right.

Harry was holding him.

It's not his child (funny).

It was Professor Lupin's child, Teddy Lupin.

It has only been half a month since they graduated.

Professor Lupin and Tonks brought their children to visit Sirius.

Tonks became pregnant as early as Christmas when they were in sixth grade.

The child was born during the first semester of seventh grade.

At the time, they were all at Hogwarts, and Professor Lupin hadn't spread the word, so although they knew about the baby, it was the first time they had seen this six-month-old child.

Oh right, it's a boy.

Although Sirius Black initially said he didn't want to teach his son, after actually having the baby, he shamelessly begged Lupin to let him be Teddy's godfather.

Lupin, unable to withstand Sirius's persistent nagging, had no choice but to agree.

So Harry is now considered Teddy's older brother.

"Congratulations Harry, you've become a big brother!"

Listening to Harry's story, Kevin smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder.

However, Harry was somewhat at a loss for words when faced with Kevin's teasing.

This is the first time he's had a younger brother, and he has absolutely no idea how to treat him.

"To be honest, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do as an older brother..."

"It's okay. Once you two develop a relationship, you'll naturally know how to be a good older brother."

Kevin waved his hand dismissively.

Harry was speechless; it was as if he himself had been the older brother.

On the other side, two girls were vying to hug the little teddy bear.

It was tiny, with a slightly wrinkled face, but it evoked maternal instincts in the two girls, who showered it with affection.

Tonks patiently guided them on how to take care of the child.

It's like giving them a head start on childcare...

Not long after, the Weasleys also came to visit. They came to see Lupin and Tonks, as Mrs. Weasley had taken good care of Tonks when she was about to give birth.

The two are now as close as sisters.

Tonks' experience in caring for children was also taught by Mrs. Weasley.

Bill and Fleur, a married couple, also came. Fleur was heavily pregnant, and it looked like Ron would soon become an uncle.

Luckily, Sirius Black is a big place, so even with so many people visiting, it's not crowded, and everyone is having a great time.

The adults talked about adult things, while the young people talked about their own things.

"By the way, Hermione, did your application for a position at the Ministry of Magic get approved?"

During the conversation, they discussed their future employment plans.

Newt's exam results have already been released, and they have all successfully obtained the required certificates.

Harry even received an invitation from the Ministry of Magic, allowing him to apply for Auror status directly. After a period of training, he could officially become an Auror.

After all, as one of the main characters in defeating Voldemort, and given Harry's performance over the past few years, he is more than qualified to become an Auror.

Ron, on the other hand, had to submit his application himself, but he received a reply immediately, just like Harry, that he could start his job at any time.

"Of course, I submitted my application as soon as I received the certificate, and they just gave me a reply the day before yesterday that I can proceed with the onboarding training."

Hermione nodded in response to Harry's question.

Harry was delighted to hear this.

We were classmates during our studies and colleagues during our work.

Unexpectedly, after graduating from Hogwarts, he was still able to work hard with his friends.

As for Draco, he'll have to call him "Boss Ma" next time they meet.

......

Another month passed quickly, and the start of Hogwarts school was fast approaching.

Hermione has successfully joined the Ministry of Magic as a staff member of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement.

She started going to work every day, leaving Kevin and Crookshan alone at home during the day.

He hadn't been idle this past month either, studying Grindelwald's Doppelganger Spell, which was essentially a puppet technique that required constant mental effort to control and was quite resource-intensive, not as convenient as he had imagined.

But that's enough.

Kevin made some improvements, adding a standby state to the puppetry technique, in which no effort is needed to operate it.

However, once triggered, it can immediately intervene and manipulate the situation.

This perfectly solved the problem of Kevin needing a puppet to fill in.

Just then, the door clicked open, and Hermione came home from get off work.

Kevin poked his head out from the basement.

"You're back."

"Hmm~"

Little Hermione dressed up in a professional office outfit, which gave her a more mature and sophisticated look.

She just looked a little tired.

Hermione walked over to Kevin and climbed onto his back.

"What's wrong? Are you tired from work today?"

Kevin grasped the hand resting on his neck and asked softly.

"...Not really, it's just that I've recently discovered that some of the Ministry of Magic's laws are unreasonable."

"It infringes on the rights of many non-human beings."

"Take the most common house-elves as an example. They have absolutely no human rights, but everyone is used to it."

"Even the house-elves take it for granted..."

Hermione leaned against Kevin from behind and whispered her thoughts.

"My colleagues in the office all say that this has been the case for hundreds of years."

"But is it right to always do things this way?"

"Whether it's house-elves or other intelligent beings, I think they should all enjoy more rights."

"But my colleagues all say I'm naive."

At this point, Hermione looked even more disappointed, and Kevin understood what Hermione meant.

Hermione started to feel sorry for these oppressed non-human creatures.

"So, Hermione, what do you want to do?"

Kevin didn't tell Hermione who was right or wrong, but instead asked her about her plans.

Hearing Kevin's question, Hermione pondered for a moment.

"I want to fight for more rights for these non-human creatures."

"Then let's do it."

Kevin nodded encouragingly.

"Kevin, you really do think I'm right, don't you!"

"Uh... I don't really know who's right and who's wrong."

"I don't quite understand this aspect."

Hermione thought Kevin shared the same idea as her and asked happily, but Kevin blurted out this.

So Hermione asked again, somewhat disappointed.

"So you're only supporting me because I want to do it...?"

"Uh, not really."

Kevin's second answer left Hermione completely confused about what he meant.

"I simply believe that whether your idea is right or wrong, if you want to do it, then do it."

Whether it is right or wrong, future generations will judge.

"No matter what, your original intention was good, and that's enough."

"The current social system is the result of the clash between idealists and realists."

"If you don't try to change certain mistakes with ideals in mind, then the mistakes will continue to be made."

"As long as you try to make a change, even if it's still a new mistake after the change, just change it back. It's always better than staying the same."

After hearing Kevin's words, Hermione's heart immediately stirred again.

He immediately gave Kevin a big kiss on the cheek.

"Hehe, I get it, Kevin~"

What Hermione needs is not for you to tell her what to do, but a reason to keep going.

Kevin gave her that reason perfectly.

If we simply support her and think she's right, it won't be long before even she starts to doubt herself. Only by saying this can Hermione move forward without hesitation.

Like I said before, since he'll cover for us, so what if we make a mistake?
