Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Life returned to normal after that.

Not long after, Kevin went to Hogwarts as scheduled and began his new year of teaching.

Of course, he'll come back every night, just like Hermione goes to work—she leaves during the day and comes back at night.

Some lesson preparation and potion making were also done at home.

Kevin's basement also became his workspace.

Life is in good order now. Although some of the passion of yesteryear has faded, there is a greater sense of tranquility and peace.

Hermione is getting more and more enthusiastic about her work. Although she is just a junior employee and has not yet achieved the status she aspires to, she is gradually mastering her job and things will only get better in the future.

As for Harry and Ron, I heard that their two-month Auror training has just ended, and they've officially started working.

Although Harry has just graduated, his abilities have clearly reached the level expected of an Auror, or even higher.

In addition, there were quite a few acquaintances in the Auror's office who had joined the Order of the Phoenix, so the two of them did quite well there.

Draco, on the other hand, began to learn how to manage the family business from Lucius, but they still maintained considerable contact and did not part ways.

And then there's Grindelwald, who seems to have gotten over his troubles and now dares to come to Hogwarts to chat with Dumbledore from time to time.

The wizarding world has returned to stability, although occasionally some dark wizards still cause trouble, but that's where Harry and his fellow Aurors find their job.

......

Christmas holidays arrived quickly this year, and Kevin had another break. That's great!

He also took some time to visit Hermione at the Ministry of Magic while she was at work, and then went to the Auror's office to mock Harry and Ron, who were working hard at their jobs.

Then Harry and Ron kicked him out on the grounds of obstructing official business.

Ultimately, their feelings had faded, and they didn't even arrest him.

He also wanted to experience what it was like to be in jail.

Afterwards, he went to Malfoy Manor, had a friendly chat with Draco, and then swiped a basket of fine fruit from him to take back to his own home as a gift for the Grangers.

"Uncle and Aunt, have some. My friend gave me this fruit; I heard it's high-quality stuff."

Kevin came to visit the Grangers and presented them with washed fruit.

"I've never seen this kind of fruit before. Is it the fruit produced by your wizard?"

"Mmm, it's delicious."

The three of them sat down, eating fruit and watching TV, occasionally chatting.

I happened to see a movie playing on TV; it was a love story.

After overcoming a series of difficulties and obstacles, the protagonist finally marries the girl he loves.

Kevin blinked, suddenly thinking about his own important life event.

"Um, Uncle, Aunt, I want to get married."

Kevin suddenly spoke up.

"Really? You're all grown up now, it's time to get married. Have you set your sights on any girl?"

Mr. Granger was engrossed in watching the film and responded instinctively.

"?"

Kevin was taken aback when he heard this. "How could I possibly be interested in another girl?"

It must be yours.

Kevin glanced at the fruit in Mr. Granger's hand and realized that it seemed to be a rare type of fruit that could induce intoxication...

I just grabbed a basket from Draco; it had all sorts of fruit, so I didn't notice.

Mrs. Granger, however, realized what was happening and looked at Kevin with surprise, but Kevin suddenly found himself at odds with Mr. Granger.

"I have my eye on a girl. She's wonderful, just like your daughter."

"What a load of bull! No girl can compare to my daughter."

Kevin tentatively said something.

As Mr. Granger munched on his fruit, he said dismissively.

"...That's true."

Kevin paused for a moment, then nodded.

"So, do you support my decision to marry that girl?"

"Support, of course I support you. If needed, Uncle Shi will help you propose marriage."

"Really? Thank you so much, Uncle."

"Ugh, that sounds so distant."

Mr. Granger happily put his arm around Kevin's shoulder, and the two acted like brothers.

"What's the girl's family situation?"

"Uh, her parents are dentists."

"Really? That's such a coincidence. I'm a dentist too, so I'm sure we'll have a lot in common."

Mr. Granger was quite surprised to hear Kevin's words.

"...I think so too."

"So I'd like to ask you for advice on how to get along with her parents, especially how to get her father to agree to let his daughter marry me?"

"It's easy. For middle-class families like this, as long as you have proper manners, a relatively stable income, and enough love for their daughter, you can win them over in no time."

Mr. Granger patted Kevin on the shoulder and said confidently.

"It's easy for you. If I were them, I would definitely agree to you marrying our daughter."

Kevin tentatively looked at Mrs. Granger beside him and asked, "Really?"

Mrs. Granger, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, nodded.

At this point, Mr. Granger patted Kevin on the shoulder again and continued to ask.

"By the way, which girl have you taken a fancy to? When are you bringing her back so we can check her out and give you our opinion?"

"Well..."

Kevin was still thinking about how to answer.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Kevin, you're here too."

Upon seeing Hermione return, Kevin immediately pointed at her and addressed Mr. Granger.

"Here you are, please give me your opinion."

Hermione: ?

Mr. Granger: ? ......!

Mr. Granger finally realized what was happening.

But Mrs. Granger, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore. She burst out laughing and slapped her husband's thigh.

Mr. Granger suddenly realized, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I just say?"

......

That night.

Hermione lay down next to Kevin.

"You idiot Kevin, you're bullying Daddy again, aren't you?"

"No way, don't talk nonsense."

"What about the fruit wine that Dad ate?"

"Uh... that was Draco trying to frame me. He gave me a basket of fruit, and there was one in there that I didn't know about."

"Stop pretending. Draco has already complained to me, saying that you not only trespassed but also stole his fruit. He's asking if I'm going to do anything about it."

"..."

Kevin was speechless after hearing Hermione's words.

Draco even tattled on us.

"So what did you say to your father that made him so anxious and flustered?"

"Uh...it's nothing, he just told me that his daughter is the best in the world and stuff like that."

"?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, speechless, too lazy to argue with Kevin.

Close your eyes and get ready to sleep.

But then Kevin hugged Hermione's waist and his little hands restlessly rubbed Hermione's belly.

"Tomorrow is Christmas, no work, I can sleep in."

Hearing Kevin mention sleeping in, Hermione blushed.

It's only 10 o'clock and they're already in bed. They'll sleep in tomorrow, so what are they doing now?
