Chapter 166
The hour passed quickly, and as Harry carried Ron to the surface, the second project came to a successful end.
As expected, Ike is still in first place, Krum is second, Fleur is third, and Harry is directly at the bottom.
Different from the memory, Fleur rescued her sister Gabrielle this time. She came out of the lake less than 2 minutes after Krum finished. There was a huge gap between Harry and her, almost hitting the deadline. .
It's very similar to the beginning of the game. It's really uncomfortable if I don't step on it.
"Gentlemen and ladies, we have made a decision!" Ludo's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
"The female leader of the fishmen told us everything that happened at the bottom of the lake. After discussion by the referee panel, we made the following decision..."
"Victor Krum used the transformation technique. Although it was incomplete, it was effective. He was the second to come back. We give him forty points!"
"Fleur Delacour's Bubble Charm was excellent, and she was able to fend off Grindylow's attack when approaching the hostages. But since she was the third one to come back, we give her 37 points! "
"Mr. Harry Potter used the gibberellin, and the effect was amazing. However, he misjudged the effective time of the gibberellin. Although he also rescued the hostages, it failed on the way back. As the last one to return, Warriors, we decided to give him 35 points!"
"Finally, Mr. Ike Strider..."
Ludo suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "He showed us his outstanding attainments in ancient magic and his excellent control of magic!"
"Perfect sea control skills! Excellent sea control skills!"
"He was the first one back and he even had half the time!"
"So, we decided..."
"45 points! Yes, Mr. Ike Strider won No. 1 again!"
"Congratulations to him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ludo took the lead in clapping his hands. Applause also broke out in the stands, but it was obviously not very enthusiastic. Some Hogwarts students kept glaring at Karkaroff.
Yes, out of four votes, only Karkaroff scored five.
It's one point more than last time. Is that considered progress?
Ike didn't think anything of it. Karkaroff's intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted to hold Krum in his arms, and he basically lost his face for this.
Judging from Karkaroff's performance, he doesn't care at all.
"One more thing..." Ludo continued, "The last project will be held on the evening of June 24th, and the warriors will know the specific content of the project one month in advance!"
"Thank you for your support, see you on June 24th!"
The audience in the stands slowly dispersed, but Ike and Hermione could not leave yet.All warriors and rescued hostages must go to the school hospital first. This is Madam Pomfrey's request.In order to prevent them from catching a cold, everyone must drink a bottle of cold potion and put on dry clothes before leaving.
Then, it’s time to celebrate.
This night, at least in Ravenclaw, was indeed a sleepless night...
In March, the temperature gradually warmed up.
Since the last project is not until the end of the semester, people's minds are back to studying.
It is still influential. The Daily Prophet, Wizards Weekly and even The Quibbler all publish articles about the Triwizard Tournament from time to time, which always grabs everyone's attention again.
This is a very common warm-up method. After all, three months is not a long time, but it is enough for people to forget that there is another event in the Triwizard Tournament.
It has no impact on Ike. He enjoys his current life very much. Hermione has also reduced the frequency of using the time turner. It is similar to Ike's last semester, only used for classes.
When they were free, they would always appear together in various places inside and outside the castle, sometimes walking, sometimes simply sitting by the lake, just looking at the black lake quietly, enjoying the time together.
Ike was sure that Hermione must have noticed something, but she was so smart that she didn't say anything about it.
As if nothing needs to be said...
It's just that Ike didn't notice that Hermione's eyes would always fall on his left arm from time to time...
Little Barty didn't bother him anymore. His Defense Against the Dark Arts course finally ended with the teaching of the Soul Seizing Curse and began to actually teach some things in books.
Of course, little Barty will not teach step by step.Starting from the content of the fourth grade to the seventh grade, he picked out the most difficult parts of all the magic spells to be learned in these four grades, and taught one in each class, regardless of whether it was something to be learned in this grade.
What's even more amazing is that what he taught did not violate the teaching goal he said in the first class: what to do when facing danger.
Putting aside everything else, just from this course, Barty Jr. is indeed the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Well, on par with Lupine.
Unlike the comfortable Ekko, Karkaroff's life has not been very good recently.Everyone noticed that he always went to see Snape recently. From time to time, the two would chat quietly in the corner for a long time. Once, he even came while Snape was still in class and waited until the end of get out of class. .
People would guess why Karkaroff went to Snape so frequently for these two people who were theoretically unlikely to have any contact at all.
Ike is aware of this, and he also feels it. The Dark Mark on his left arm has become increasingly clear recently.
This can only mean one thing: Comrade Lao Fu's strength is recovering, and he is getting stronger...
Moreover, people did not notice another thing, that is, every time the two of them got together to talk quietly, Moody would always appear not far from them.
Of course, Moody has been secretly staring at Snape and Karkaroff since the beginning of the semester, but what others don't know is that Moody's magic eye was moving before, but now it is motionless...
There is also a strong murderous intention...
You need to pay more attention, professor.
After a Potions class in April, Ike came to Snape with a book on the pretext of asking for advice. This sentence in the book flashed away.
"This is a very simple question. I talked about it in class. If you pay more attention to my class instead of thinking about Miss Know-It-All in Gryffindor, you should know... …”
Snape said vicious words, but the quill in his hand wrote on Ike's book: Office after curfew.
"I understand, professor." Ike said as he took back the book, nodded slightly and left.
When he walked out of the classroom door, he said hello to Karkaroff who had been waiting outside for who knows how long.
Of course, he did not forget Professor Moody at the end of the corridor.
