Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 168
The hour was up quickly, and as Harry surfaced with Ron on his back, the second project came to a successful conclusion.

Unsurprisingly, Ike was still in first place, Krum was second, Fleur was third, and Harry was right at the bottom.

The difference from memory is that Fleur rescued her sister Gabriel this time. She came out of the lake within 2 minutes after Krum finished. There was a big gap between Harry and her, almost pressing the deadline .

It is very similar to the beginning of the game, it is really uncomfortable not to step on it.

"Gentlemen and ladies, we have made a decision!" Ludo's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"The female fishman leader told us everything that happened at the bottom of the lake. After deliberation by the jury, we have made the following decision..."

"Viktor Krum used Transfiguration. Although it is not complete, it is effective. He is the second to come back, and we will give him forty points!"

"Fleur Delacour's Bubble Curse was excellent, and she parried Grindylow's attack when she was close to the hostage. But since she was the third to come back, we give her 37 points! "

"Mr. Harry Potter used the gills, and the effect was amazing, but he miscalculated the effective time of the gills. Although he also rescued the hostages, it failed on the way back. As the last one to come back Warriors, we decided to give him 35 points!"

"Finally, Mr. Ike Strider..."

Ludo suddenly became excited and shouted: "He let us see his outstanding attainments in ancient magic and his wonderful control over magic power!"

"Perfect sea control technique! Wonderful sea control technique!"

"He was the first one back, and he was even half way there!"

"So, we decided to..."

"45 points! Yes, Mr. Ike Stride is No.1 again!"

"Congratulations to him!"

As soon as the words fell, Ludo clapped his hands first, and applause erupted from the stands, but it was obviously not very enthusiastic. Some Hogwarts students had been glaring at Karkaroff.

Yes, four out of [-] votes, only Karkaroff scored five.

It's one point more than last time, so it's an improvement?

Ike didn't think anything of it, Karkaroff's meaning was already very obvious, that is, he wanted to hold Krum, and he basically didn't want to face him for this.

Looking at Karkaroff's performance, he didn't care at all.

"One more thing..." Ludo continued, "The last event will be held on the evening of June 24th, and the warriors will know the specific content of the event one month in advance!"

"Thank you for your support, see you on June 24!"

The audience in the stands slowly dispersed, and Ike and Hermione couldn't leave yet.All the warriors and the rescued hostages had to go to the school hospital first, which was Madam Pomfrey's request.In order to prevent them from catching a cold, everyone has to drink a bottle of potion to cure colds, and then change into 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 warms up.

Since the last project is not until the end of the semester, people's hearts have also returned to learning.

It is still influential. "Daily Prophet", "Wizard Weekly" and even "Quieter" publish some articles about the Triwizard Tournament from time to time, and they will always grab everyone's attention.

This is a very common warm-up method. After all, three months is not long, but it is enough to make people forget that there is another event in the Triwizard Tournament.

It has no effect on Ike, he enjoys his current life very much, and Hermione has also reduced the frequency of using the Time Converter, which is similar to that of Ike in the off-duty semester last year, only used for class.

When they were idle, they would always appear in various places inside and outside the castle, sometimes for a walk, and sometimes simply sitting by the lake, just quietly looking at the black lake, enjoying the time together.

Ike was sure that Hermione must have noticed something, but as smart as she was, 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 the teaching of the Imperius Curse, and began to actually teach some things in books.

Of course, Barty Jr. will not give lectures step by step.From the content of the fourth grade to the seventh grade, he picked out the most difficult part of all the 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 stated in the first class: how to do when facing danger.

Leaving other things aside, just from this course, Barty Jr. is indeed the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Well, on par with Lupine.

Unlike the comfortable Ike, Karkaroff's life has not been very good recently.Everyone noticed that he always went to find Snape recently, and the two would chat in a corner for a long time from time to time, and once even came when Snape was still in class, and waited until the end of get out of class .

People would guess, why did Karkaroff go to find Snape so frequently with these two people who were supposed to have no contact at all?

Ike is clear about this, and he feels it too. The Dark Mark on his left arm has become more and more clear recently.

This can only mean one thing: Comrade Lao Fu's strength is recovering, he is getting stronger and stronger...

And, another thing that people didn't notice, was that every time the two of them got together to whisper, Moody always appeared 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 killing intent...

You need to pay attention, Professor.

After a Potions class in April, Ike found Snape with a book under the pretext of asking a question, and the sentence in the book disappeared in a flash.

"It's a very simple question, I've talked about it in class, if you pay more attention to my class instead of thinking about the lady who knows it from Gryffindor, you should know... ..."

Snape said vicious words in his mouth, but the quill in his hand wrote in Ike's book: After curfew, the office.

"I see, Professor." Ike took the book back while talking, nodded slightly and left.

When he walked out of the classroom door, he greeted Karkaroff who had been waiting outside the door for an unknown amount of time.

Of course, he didn't forget Professor Moody at the end of the corridor.
