Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

"Professor Dumbledore, I would like to request an empty room for long-term use."

Today Kevin went to the headmaster's office to discuss something with Dumbledore.

"Oh? Kevin, what do you need an empty room for?"

"I want to use it as my private workspace because many potions are very troublesome to make and take ten days to half a month to produce. It's not convenient to keep them in Professor Snape's workspace all the time."

Kevin told the truth.

He always used Professor Snape's workshop to make potions.

After Professor Snape took him on a trip last year, he established regular contact with some merchants and would occasionally receive commissions or take orders on his own initiative.

Therefore, the potion workshop is frequently used.

Moreover, some of his materials come in bottles and jars, which are not very convenient to carry around in the stretching spell bag. It would be simplest to have them in a workspace.

Dumbledore nodded after listening. He was aware of Kevin's situation, and this reason was quite reasonable.

"I also hope to apply for the privilege of not having to go back to the dormitory at night, so that I can live in the workshop and brew potions directly."

Kevin continued, "Of course, I will pay the rent to the college, and I hope you will agree to my request."

Dumbledore thought about it for a moment. Giving Kevin the right to use an empty room was fine, but giving him the privilege of living there was a bit tricky.

After all, he is still a student at heart, which makes it difficult to convince others, and inevitably some ill-intentioned people will use this to spread rumors and gossip.

Seemingly sensing Dumbledore's concerns, Kevin continued, "Why don't you arrange an identity for me?"

"For example, Professor Snape's teaching assistant allowed me to have a workspace and corresponding privileges."

"At the same time, I will also help Professor Snape to guide the students in their knowledge of potions, fulfilling the responsibilities of a teaching assistant."

"Although I'm a minor, I do have a professional potion master's license, so being a teaching assistant shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Dumbledore had actually considered Kevin's suggestion, and it was indeed a relatively good idea.

However, being a teaching assistant is not as simple as just talking. If a student has any accidents under his guidance, he will be held responsible.

However, after seeing Kevin's determined gaze, Dumbledore shook his head helplessly. Why think so much? Since the person involved is not afraid, why should he be afraid?

He immediately agreed to Kevin's request: "Okay, Kevin, I'll take care of this for you in the next few days."

"But I must remind you, Kevin, that enjoying privileges also means taking on greater responsibilities."

"Privileges can bring benefits, but they can also cause harm. You need to think this through."

Dumbledore spoke solemnly to Kevin, hoping he understood the implications of his choice.

Kevin smiled; he knew perfectly well what his choice meant.

However, he is confident that he can do a good job.

Besides, he wasn't a formal professor; at best, he was just an assistant.

During breaks and after class, he would help Professor Snape with his assignments and solve some of the students' problems.

After discussing the matter of applying for an empty room, Kevin then told Dumbledore about Harry's latest nightmare.

Dumbledore also learned that Professor Snape had lost the ingredients for Polyjuice Potion.

They actually knew that someone had infiltrated the school.

However, those who infiltrated were just small fry; Dumbledore and his companions were after the big fish behind the scenes.

They had a vague idea that Voldemort, who wasn't completely dead, was behind it all.

It's likely that Voldemort needs Harry to do something in order to be resurrected.

Dumbledore simply wanted Kevin to help Harry as much as possible, but he didn't require Kevin to protect Harry.

Because he knew he had no right to ask anyone to protect Harry.

Afterwards, Dumbledore told Kevin to go back and wait for news, and that he would arrange an empty room and a teaching assistant position for him in the next few days.

......

After leaving the principal's office, Kevin went to the library to find Hermione. Even though it was a holiday, little Hermione was still working so hard.

Upon arriving at the library, they quickly found Hermione, who was holding a book about underwater creatures, with another book about the creatures of the Black Lake next to her.

It contains a lot of information about the creatures in the Black Lake, including mermaids, fish demons, lake monsters, and other various creatures.

She wanted to do her research before the competition to educate Kevin, because knowing your enemy is half the battle.

Kevin couldn't help but stop and admire Hermione as she focused intently on her work.

Hermione looks really good when she's serious.

However, Hermione quickly noticed that someone was watching her, and when she turned around, she saw Kevin staring at her intently.

Even though it was just a normal gaze, Hermione felt a little uneasy for some reason.

Kevin's gaze is so blatant...

Hermione thought shyly, and quickly coughed lightly to bring Kevin back to his senses.

"Hermione, don't worry about me, just keep reading."

Kevin said softly that he wanted to watch a little longer.

But Hermione couldn't stand Kevin's intense stare and couldn't concentrate at all.

"No, I'm tired of watching."

Little Hermione raised her head, looking displeased. If it weren't for the slight blush on her cheeks, Kevin would have thought it was true.

"Then let's not watch it. Let's go for a walk. I have something to tell you."

Kevin helped Hermione put the two books away, then pulled her away from the library.

The two walked along the shore of Black Lake, heading towards their usual haunt.

"Kevin, what did you say you wanted to tell me?"

Hermione asked Kevin, who was organizing his thoughts beside her.

Kevin paused for a moment, then coughed lightly and said:

"Um, I just wanted to ask, Hermione, could you accept a teacher-student relationship?"

"what?"

Hermione was wondering what Kevin had to say, and whether it was about their conversation with Dumbledore earlier that day.

Kevin's unexpected remark stunned her.

"It's just the two of us, a teacher-student relationship. I'm the teacher, and you're the student."

Hermione finally realized what was happening and blushed deeply.

I wondered if Kevin wanted to do role-playing?

So he's into this kind of thing...? Should I support him...?

Hermione became increasingly embarrassed as she thought about it, imagining all sorts of 18+ scenarios.

Kevin, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback by Hermione's strange reaction.

He just wanted to tease Hermione, but it seems like Hermione misunderstood something.

Well, it wasn't exactly a misunderstanding; he did have those strange ideas.

After a fierce internal struggle, Hermione finally took a deep breath.

She raised her tender, watery eyes, a mixture of reproach and coquettishness in her gaze, and softly called out:

"Mr. Kevin..."

Kevin gasped when he saw Hermione's expression.

King Zhou, I misunderstood you.

Kevin stumbled back three steps; the sound was too powerful, and his heart couldn't take it.

Seeing Kevin's strong reaction, Hermione was very embarrassed, but it also confirmed her suspicions.

Kevin really likes this...
