Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"Holy crap, Harry, I told you to look handsome, and you're really going to look this handsome?"

Kevin was taken aback when he saw Harry with a new hairstyle. He remembered that Harry was incredibly handsome in the third movie, both young and dashing. Now that Harry was in front of him, he was indeed handsome, just a tiny bit less so than him.

Harry was a little embarrassed by Kevin's straightforward praise.

Hermione looked at the two with their arms around each other suspiciously.

Today was the day they had agreed upon, and Harry left early in the morning with his luggage, taking a taxi to Kevin's place.

Kevin introduced Harry and the Grangers to each other, and the two adults gave Harry a very warm welcome. Harry seemed a little reserved, but he quickly warmed up to them.

The group chatted and drank tea. After a while, Ron arrived with Ginny, and Draco also happened to join them.

After a brief introduction and some pleasantries, everyone agreed to have lunch together, and then Kevin led them to the house next door.

"Wow, Kevin, this house is yours?" Ron looked around in surprise, and Harry was about the same.

"To be precise, it's still rented now. I can only buy it once I've saved enough money."

Kevin explained the process of renting the house while showing the group around and assigning them rooms.

Actually, Ginny was assigned to sleep in the room Hermione used to have, while the other three men could choose any of them.

Soon everyone had put away their luggage and gathered in the lobby on the first floor to discuss the plans for this trip.

Kevin pulled a map of the resort area out of his bag, complete with photos of the places.

"Hey, this is the location of our mission... I mean, our trip."

Kevin took the lead and started pointing and gesturing at the map.

"First, there are the tents. We plan to set up camp here. We have two options. The first is four boys in one group and two girls in another. The second option is that everyone will be in one big tent. I will cast a seamless stretching spell on it. The tent will have separate sections for men and women, and there will be plenty of space."

Kevin pointed to a location on the map that was nestled against the mountains and by the water, made arrangements, and asked everyone to vote on the options. In the end, everyone voted to choose the second option: it would be more fun if everyone lived together.

"Great, next! Food is key for a two-day, two-night trip. Since we're in the mountains and wilderness, the main focus will be on barbecues and big pot stews. As for the ingredients, we'll pick them up on the day of the trip. This afternoon, we'll go to the market and pre-order from some vendors. You can tell us your dietary restrictions beforehand."

"Of course, we can also go fishing, pick wild vegetables, and hunt wild game at that time."

Kevin took out the prepared ingredient list and showed it to everyone. They could say if they had any suggestions or didn't want to eat anything. Soon, the list was passed around and there were no problems. Everyone was a good kid and not picky about food.

"Alright! Let's get back to this map. This mountainous area is quite large. Since we're going there, we should definitely explore the whole place!"

Then Kevin used the map to plan a route for everyone and asked for their opinions.

Most of the time everyone is free to do as they please, but they definitely can't wander off on their own. He only planned for everyone to go swimming and catching fish in the stream together, and to go hunting together. The rest is up to everyone to do as they please.

Then Kevin immediately made the decision that after lunch, everyone would go shopping for supplies, and Kevin would pay for everything.

Money is meant to be spent. A young man's fortune is as good as an ounce of gold. If not now, when?

Everyone offered to share some of the expenses. Harry and Draco, being the two little rich kids, naturally agreed, and even Ron asked his family for some money, since he brought his sister along and couldn't come empty-handed.

However, Kevin said it wasn't necessary. If they had other ideas, they could buy their own things, like insect repellent spray or snacks. They could decide for themselves, since activities are meant to be fun with some freedom, otherwise they would just become tasks.

Harry was the most excited, as it was his first time going on a camping trip with his friends, and the thought of it was thrilling.

Then there's Kevin, who's thinking about playing in the water with Hermione.

After quickly finishing lunch together, everyone set off on a shopping spree with great enthusiasm.

It's better to buy a bigger tent so it's easier to avoid being noticed. Otherwise, what would it look like if a group of people were crammed into a small tent? Of course, we should also buy the Granger couple's tent.

Then there were some small pieces of furniture that could be put into the tent, such as stools, tables, kerosene lamps, beds, sleeping bags, and even some medical supplies, since potions are not a panacea and some injuries need to be healed.

He will then cast a spell in his backyard to stuff some small pieces of furniture that might be useful into the box, and then shrink it up for easy carrying.

He plans to keep this tent indefinitely. It can be stored in his travel bag, along with emergency food, medicine, various tools, and furniture. Wherever he goes in the future, that will be his little haven.

He learned this Unseen Stretching Charm from Dumbledore; Snape would never teach him such practical things.

Then I bought the whole set, including grills, ovens, big pots, coal, and so on.

Kevin took everyone to the market to arrange the ingredients, talked to some vendors in advance, and then picked them up on the same day.

Because they were going to play in the stream and catch fish, Kevin even prepared swimsuits, fishing rods, landing nets, and other equipment for everyone.

Because there were too many people and distractions outside, it was difficult to stuff all these things into the expandable bag. So each of the five kids could only take a little bit, which was a hands-on experience of the time-consuming and laborious process of a large-scale shopping spree.

When they got home, everyone except Kevin was exhausted.

However, everyone is starting to look forward to this trip even more, including Draco, who comes from a wealthy family. This time, he is going out with like-minded companions, and the atmosphere is completely different.

But this guy kept babbling on and on, which can be summarized as showing off his wealth. He talked about where he had been and what he had done, with an arrogant look on his face and a very enthusiastic attitude at the same time.

That evening, the group didn't go to Granger's for dinner. The six kids cooked for themselves next door, with Kevin doing most of the cooking, while Harry and Hermione helped out.

Harry had worked as a laborer at his uncle's house for many years and was proficient in all kinds of housework.

Hermione seemed to be arguing with Harry about something, always glaring at him like she was possessing her food.

After dinner, Kevin noticed that everyone seemed to have nothing to do for a while, so they chatted casually about random things.

He then took out a deck of cards and led everyone in playing blackjack.

Kevin explained the rules briefly, and after a couple of rounds, everyone understood and started having a great time.

Everyone made a bet: whoever lost the most during the camping trip would have to do the hardest and most tiring task of gathering firewood, burning coal, and starting the stove.

We played until late at night, and in the end Kevin lost the most. What the heck? Do these guys have some kind of halo?

The next day, Kevin set up a tent in his backyard, had his friends stuff things inside, and then began casting a spell.

This was a large tent measuring 3m x 3m. After being enchanted with an extension spell, it transformed into a 15m x 15m space, more than enough to hold all sorts of odds and ends. The group tidied up the space, dividing it into men's and women's sections, as well as a small living room in the middle.

It looked quite impressive, and the Grangers came in for a tour, marveling at the wonder of the magic.

Finally, a spell is used to close the tent, and when it is opened again, the inside will be exactly the same.

The Seamless Stretch Spell, awesome!
