Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 171 We Will See You Again

The death of old Crouch is a big event, even though he has been missing for a long time, but as long as there is no confirmation of his death, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Obviously, hope has been completely dashed.

The death of a senior Ministry of Magic official made Fudge very angry. After getting the news that night, he led some officials from the Ministry of Magic to Hogwarts. After talking with Dumbledore for a long time, he brought the old Crouch's body leave.

They need to give old Crouch a decent funeral. With the Crouch family already dead, only the Ministry of Magic can undertake it.

"Maybe the third item of the competition will be cancelled."

In the castle, many people were discussing this matter, but Ike knew very well that the more this happened, the more unlikely it would be for the Tournament to stop. Instead, the Ministry of Magic would do its best to ensure the smooth progress of the game.

Sure enough, in mid-June, the Aurors entered Hogwarts.They were arranged near the Quidditch pitch, on the one hand to ensure the safety of the field, and on the other hand to watch over the cuties that Hagrid put into the maze.

There is another task, which is to act as a field rescuer on the day of the third event, to ensure that they rush to the scene for rescue as soon as the Warriors give up.

In Fudge's opinion, the strength of Hogwarts alone may not be enough to do this well, and now he doesn't want to see any more casualties.

After the final exams, the atmosphere at Hogwarts became more and more joyful as the day of the competition drew closer.The little wizards don't care about danger or not. After the exam, they just want to watch the fun.

But for Harry, it was getting more and more tense.

Throughout June, he was basically learning and practicing new magic. He must have made targeted preparations when he knew the competition items in advance.

This matter cannot be separated from Hermione's help, if only relying on him and Ron, I don't know how many detours will be taken.

In terms of unreliability, there is no such thing as negative and positive.

Because of this, Ike hadn't enjoyed the leisure time with Hermione for a while, and it wasn't until the eve of the game that Hermione finally got busy with Harry's affairs.

"You don't look nervous at all." Hermione said softly as they leaned on the railing on the top floor of the tower, looking at Durmstrang's ship in the Black Lake.

"There's nothing to be nervous about in this game," Ike replied.

"Yes, for you, those may not be called dangerous." Hermione sighed, "Harry has been really busy for a while, and I don't know if there are a few spells that will work."

"He's definitely fine." Ike looked at Hermione and smiled, "He's our 'savior'."

"Yeah, the savior..." Hermione murmured, staring into the distance with ecstatic eyes.

Ike noticed it a little bit, and put away the smile on his face.

"You've already decided, Ike." Hermione said leisurely.

"……kindness."

Ike turned around, leaning his back against the railing, bowing his head slightly.

Even though he had been prepared in his heart long ago, his heart was still a little messed up at the moment Hermione pierced it.

"Actually, you decided a long time ago..." Hermione was still looking at the black lake in the distance, "Those books, those notes, and that manuscript..."

"Now that I think about it, you have never concealed the fact that you are leaving..."

"The Ike in my memory will not reveal all his secrets."

"But this school year, you have revealed your secret more than once..."

"Professor Moody, kill a fire dragon, and that sea control..."

Hermione turned her head and looked at Ike quietly.

"Where you are going must be very dangerous..."

Ike couldn't bear to look into Hermione's eyes, that kind of eyes made his courage and his firmness lose a little bit.

"call……"

Hermione saw Ike's hesitation, closed her eyes slightly, took a long breath of relief, and opened her eyes firmly.

"Go do what you do..."

"Hermione..."

"Ike!" Hermione stared at Ike, "You made your choice, and I made mine."

"So, don't worry about it..."

"because……"

"I'll go find you!"

"Most definitely!"

Slowly raising his hand, and gently wiping away the tears on Hermione's cheek, Ike shook his head.

"When you know where I'm going, if you still think so..."

"Then I promise, I will protect you..."

"No need! Don't underestimate me, Ike..." Hermione raised her hand and knocked Ike's hand off, "Do you think I don't know where you are going?"

"On your left arm, which you have covered all year, is the Dark Mark!"

"You... got it?" Ike didn't expect that Hermione even guessed this.

"Don't underestimate me, Ike, I'm not a weak little girl!" Hermione wiped away the tears she accidentally shed, "I'm Hermione Granger from Gryffindor!"

"No!" Ike shook his head slightly, "I never underestimated you, but before that, you need to make sufficient preparations."

"At least, also..."

"Learn and master those books and spells, I know."

Looking at the determined Hermione in front of him, Ike suddenly laughed.

"Have you thought about it?"

"kindness."

"Okay then, I'll wait for you." Ike stretched out his little finger, and Hermione hooked it with a smile.

"Whisper to tell you..." He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Dumbledore knows about this..."

"I know..." The corners of Hermione's mouth rose quietly, "I guessed it too..."

"So, you're going to learn Occlumency."

"I will……"

.........

On the game day, Ike came to the meeting room next to the auditorium very early. This was what Professor Flitwick told him very early on. As a privilege, the relatives of the warriors were invited to watch the final.

Pushing open the door, there are already many people inside.Krum, speaking briskly in Bulgarian with his parents, was not at all sullen.Next to her, Fu Rong was talking to her mother, and Gabriel was holding Fu Rong's hand, looking around curiously.

In front of the fireplace, Mrs. Weasley was talking with Julianne, and Bill was still standing not far away.

"Little Ike!" Julian saw Ike at a glance and waved her hand excitedly.Ike hurried to greet him, and was hugged by Julian directly.

"I didn't expect them to invite you over, after all..."

"I'm a Muggle?" Julian smiled. "The wizard's family has the right to know, have you forgotten?"

"I really forgot..." Ike scratched the back of his head, he really forgot this, "Let me show you around."

"Okay, I also want to see what the magical world looks like." Julian naturally raised her hand to rub Ike's head, but suddenly found that the child in front of her had grown up now.

Even if you stand on tiptoe, you have to raise your hand to the highest level to touch it.
