Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

After everyone finished talking, Dumbledore told Kevin and Harry to go back first.

When the two walked out of the trophy display room, the hall outside was already empty; everyone had gone home.

"Kevin, what do you think is going on...?"

Harry had a bad feeling; he'd been having nightmares frequently since the holidays started, and now the feeling was getting stronger.

"What else could it be? Like I just said, someone wants to kill you."

"Who do you think most wants to kill you?"

Harry was silent for a moment before speaking, "Voldemort... but he's already..."

"He didn't die. Back then, he turned into a wisp of a ghost and flew away. It's very likely that, like the parasite Quirrell, he parasitized other people or creatures to prolong his life."

"Remember your nightmare? I don't think it's a good sign."

Kevin spoke to Harry, whose expression darkened.

He wasn't afraid of Voldemort, but he was afraid that Voldemort would ruin his wonderful life.

"Remember to write to Sirius and tell him to come to Hogwarts so that someone can look after him."

Harry nodded silently.

......

After that, Kevin and Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room together.

"They're back! The two warriors are back!"

As soon as they appeared, the Gryffindors cheered together.

Harry wasn't ostracized or criticized by them because they were all Gryffindors.

Kevin can hold off a thousand men single-handedly, while Harry can break through Kevin's defenses.

Regardless of who wins, it will be an honor for Gryffindor.

Even if Harry wanted to explain, no one would listen.

Hermione was a little worried because she believed that Harry hadn't submitted his name, and that it was impossible for other students to break Kevin's restrictions.

In other words, someone other than a student put Harry's name in.

Ron walked over to Kevin, looking a little unhappy. He had gotten a bit of attention because of Kevin, but he wasn't particularly upset about it.

He thought Kevin had taught Harry how to counter the spell, and that Harry was better than him and could completely suppress the wall of fire.

But he was still unhappy because Harry had lied to him.

Harry told him he wouldn't sign up, but now he's secretly signing up.

"Kevin, did you teach Harry how to counter spells too?"

Ron looked at Harry, who was surrounded by the crowd, and asked Kevin.

"No, when did I teach him?"

Kevin was taken aback, but looking at Ron's expression, he wondered if the kid was jealous.

"Then how did he break your spell?" Ron's voice was still a little angry.

"Harry was framed; it has nothing to do with him," Kevin said, shaking his head.

"Scheme? What do you mean?"

"Are you stupid? If Harry and I both put our names in, then the Hogwarts contestants will only be one of us, Harry and me. It's impossible for the two of us to compete together."

When Ron heard this, it seemed to make sense.

Moreover, because he had learned anti-spells, he would often try to show off his skills. Harry had gone with him before, but they had never succeeded.

So it really wasn't Harry who voted for it?

"Someone used a very powerful Confusion Charm to create a fourth force in the Goblet of Fire, and Harry was pushed into it by the people of that fourth force."

Hermione walked over at that moment and overheard Kevin's words.

"Kevin, you mean someone wants Harry to participate so they can easily take action against him?"

Kevin patted Hermione's head: "As expected of Hermione, you're so smart."

Ron, who was standing to the side, finally understood what Kevin meant.

"You mean, someone wants to harm Harry in the competition?" Ron's tone finally shifted from dissatisfaction to worry.

Kevin had no choice but to repeat the speculation he had told Harry.

Ron and Hermione both looked worried after hearing this.

"Alright, what are you afraid of? I'm here."

Kevin said calmly, "A low-health Voldemort and a rat are nothing to me."

"Kevin, have you spoken to Dumbledore about this?" Ron continued to ask.

"As I said, he also knew about Harry's nightmares. Dumbledore must have known it was a conspiracy, but he still chose to let Harry participate. He probably planned to use Harry as bait to find out who was behind it all."

"Harry was in grave danger, how could Dumbledore do this?" Ron said angrily, defending Harry.

"There's no other way. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. We can only fall into their trap and try to find the mastermind behind it all."

"Unless the mastermind behind this is brought to justice, such attacks and sabotage will only continue."

Kevin patted Ron on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Both of them fell silent; Kevin was indeed right.

"Don't act like that, everything will be fine. You're just putting more pressure on Harry."

The two nodded and stopped thinking about it. Hermione trusted Kevin, while Ron was thinking about something else, and his expression became unhappy again.

After everyone finished cheering, Harry was finally able to speak with them.

"Ron, what's with that look?" Harry asked, noticing Ron's malicious gaze.

Ron said in a sarcastic tone, "I was just thinking that some people can enjoy the privilege of not having to do homework or take exams for a year without doing anything."

"..."

The others were speechless. So, you're unhappy about this...

"I'll write it with you then, okay..." Harry said speechlessly.

"Hehe, you really are my good brother."

Ron's expression changed in an instant. He wasn't actually envious of Harry at all; he was more worried because Harry might be in mortal danger.

However, you can take this opportunity to ask Harry to do your homework. By rounding up, that would mean you get half the amount of homework done.

I'm such a genius!

......

Although Ron and Harry cleared up their misunderstanding, the other houses didn't seem to think so.

They even felt it was unfair for Kevin, who had finally managed to protect the Goblet of Fire, only to have Harry steal it from him.

However, when they saw Kevin and Harry still arm in arm, unchanged, they couldn't be bothered to criticize them anymore.

Anyway, they weren't the ones who got the peaches.

The next day, a reporter from the Daily Prophecy arrived.

It's that woman with heavy makeup.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet."

The four warriors accepted this interview, arranged by the school.

They took a group photo while wearing their respective school uniforms.

Rita's main purpose in coming here was to interview Harry and Kevin.

A fourth warrior to appear for the first time in history.

A warrior who, for the first time in history, overpowered the entire school to forcefully enroll.

Her gossip-loving nature was already burning brightly.

"Come on, which cutie would like to be the first to chat with me alone?"

Rita said to the group, "Let's start with the youngest."

After saying that, she pulled Harry aside and led him to the secluded broom room for a private interview.

The other three waited outside.

Okay, actually it was two people. Kevin wanted to run away after taking the photos, and now that the reporters weren't around, he decisively abandoned Harry and ran away alone.

He didn't want to stay in that dark broom shed with that old woman; just thinking about it gave him goosebumps.

In particular, the content published by this old woman in the newspaper was all fabricated.

At worst, I'll get a lecture from Professor McGonagall, but I believe Professor McGonagall is on my side.

So Kevin ran off to find Hermione, who was probably reading in the library at that time.

When Kevin arrived at the library, he indeed saw Hermione.

He walked over and poked Hermione's left shoulder. Hermione instinctively looked to the left, but saw nothing.

"Um?"

Hermione looked confused, then looked to her right and saw Kevin sitting next to her with a smile on his face.

"Look there, little genius!"

"Kevin, you're doing this again." Hermione poked the mischievous Kevin reproachfully.

"Hehe, I'm just worried you'll get stupid from studying for too long." Kevin grinned and moved his chair closer to Hermione.

"You're the one who's gone mad from all this learning."

Hermione snorted and naturally accepted Kevin's affectionate touch.

The students in the library were speechless. Why did these two lovebirds come to the library every day?

Especially the little eagles who love learning, they come to the library every day and see this dog couple every day!

The first year went well; they studied normally and even respected the two little lions.

The style of the second year started to change. The two little lions were supposed to be studying, but they kept making cloying laughs, which led to the librarian frequently scolding them.

In the third year, they went even further, practically glued to each other. What kind of place do you think this is? A place for you to show off your love?!

It's been four years now, damn it, why haven't these two broken up yet! Don't other couples break up every few months?!

However, they could still tolerate it, since the two little lions were quite restrained and it wouldn't significantly affect their studies.

It makes me feel sour... no, I feel so disappointed in you!

The best years of youth are wasted on useless love!

But they soon couldn't stand it anymore, not because of Kevin and Hermione.

It was because Krum had come to the library after finishing his interview.

It's alright if he's alone...

The key point is that Krum is followed by a large group of little witches, all of whom are his fans.

A group of people arrived at the library together, and no matter how much they tried to restrain themselves, they still made various noises.

The librarian was so angry that he kept cursing and cursing.

However, Krum left heartbroken not long after he went inside.

He saw his goddess leaning against Kevin's chest, with Kevin's arm around her waist.

The two were engrossed in reading a book.

I should be under the broom, not here...
