Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 172 Trophies and Portkeys
"Long time no see, Mrs. Weasley, Bill."

Bending down so that Julianne didn't have to stand on tiptoe, Ike stood up straight again and then greeted Mrs. Weasley and Bill who had been watching him and Julian with a smile on their side.

"Long time no see, Ike." Mrs. Weasley hugged Ike with a smile, and Bill shook hands with him, and said, "Great, we've all heard, did you really kill a dragon?" ?”

Ike nodded embarrassingly, and asked, "Are you...representing Harry's relatives?"

"Yeah." Bill glanced at Mrs. Weasley at the side, and whispered back, "You know, that family...so, we're here."

After speaking, he shrugged.

"By the way, have you seen Harry?"

"No." Ike shook his head, "He probably didn't know it was you..."

"Yeah," Bill said.

"Why don't I go and have a look, and I just want to show Julian around the school." As he spoke, Ike turned around and said to Julian, "Shall we go out for a walk? You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Just tried the school breakfast, the pancakes and waffles are really good."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Weasley and Bill, Ike took Julian into the next auditorium.As soon as he came in, he saw Hermione, Harry and Ron on the Gryffindor long table.

"Harry, why didn't you go to the conference room next to you?" Ike said.

"I..." Harry looked depressed and resistant, while Ike said with a smile, "Trust me, you won't be disappointed. And Ron, I think you should go too."

"I?"

"Ron?" Harry froze for a moment, then thought of it, pulled Ron and ran out.

"This is Julian, this is..."

After Harry and Ron left, Ike smiled at Hermione and introduced them to each other.But just halfway through speaking, Julian sat next to Hermione, held her hand, and said enthusiastically, "You are Hermione, I finally see you."

"This...you know me?" Hermione was stunned, a little confused about what was going on now.

"Of course I know. It's just that I just found out." Julian glared at Ike, and smiled again when she faced Hermione, "This kid never told me."

"Really? Hahaha..." Hermione turned her eyes away and started chatting enthusiastically with Julianne.

There is basically nothing about Ike in the next schedule. The relationship between Hermione and Julian is inexplicably good. They have been walking together and walking ahead, and they don't know what they are talking about.Ike could only follow not far behind, and only walked two steps quickly when the two called her.

In the morning, they walked around the castle once, and after lunch, they went around the outside of the castle again, and they didn't come back until dinner began.

Julianne was very happy and had a smile on her face.But Ike could see clearly that she was obviously more curious about Hermione than the magic of the wizarding world, and was even very puzzled when she learned that Hermione could not sit with her at the dinner party.

"Didn't we sit together at noon?"

"The dinner is different, we are two houses after all." Hermione explained, "And, we can still sit together after the game starts."

"Okay." Julian was a little unfinished, but she understood what Hermione said, and followed Ike to the Ravenclaw long table and sat down. Hermione waved.

Hermione also waved enthusiastically, then looked at Ike, smiled, and nodded slightly.Seeing this, Ike also smiled.

This scene was seen by Julie Ping An, but she didn't say anything, but the smile on her face grew even bigger.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Ike kept introducing some unique foods to Julian in the magic world, and he ate a lot himself, so he didn't feel nervous at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time. I want to invite everyone to the Quidditch pitch to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament." When everyone had almost eaten, Dumbledore stood up and said, "Warriors Please go ahead with Mr. Bagman."

After bidding farewell to Julianne, Stuart and others, he waved to Hermione from a distance. Amidst the cheers and applause of the auditorium, Ike left the auditorium together with Harry, Krum, and Fleur.

Following Ludo to the Quidditch pitch, this place has completely changed.Great hedges surrounded the field, and there was only a gap in front of them, and it was so dark that they couldn't see anything.

Not long after, other people came over and sat in the audience seats, and the stadium immediately became noisy.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Moody and Hagrid also came over, followed by five or six Aurors.After saying hello to Ludo, Professor McGonagall said to the warriors: "We will patrol outside the maze. If we encounter difficulties and want to rescue, we will shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will rush there as soon as possible."

Seeing that the warriors nodded, Professor McGonagall and the others spoke to Ludo again, then left and scattered around the maze.

Ludo looked at the time, put his wand on his throat, and under the effect of a loud curse, his voice resounded throughout the stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!"

"Ike, listen to my whistle!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the whistle sounded, Ike was the first to run into the maze, but after turning at the first intersection, he slowed down and looked at the surrounding environment quite leisurely.

He is not in a hurry at all, neither the maze nor the game is the key to him, if he wants to, the trophy in the center of the maze is at his fingertips.

The key is time, time to find the trophy.

Not long after, the whistle sounded again, and it was Krum coming in.After a while, after Fleur and Harry also came in following two whistles, Ike sped up his pace a little and walked towards the center.

Like taking a walk, when you raise your left hand, a gap in the hedge in front of you will be exposed, and with another wave, the huge snail will be overturned. At the same time, with a wave of your right hand, the ground will roll and trap it inside. Only one head was exposed.

"Ike."

After walking for a while, a person suddenly appeared not far ahead.

"Has it already started?" Ike folded his hands in front of him, pinched his wand in his right hand, and looked quietly at the person coming, "I think there is something I have to do."

"You want to make sure Harry gets the trophy."

"Trophy? You traded him for a portkey?" Ike said softly. "What a blah blah blah, Barty Jr."

"But it works." Little Barty said coldly, still with Moody's face on his face, "You're just an insurance policy."

"Okay, okay, I see." Ike said perfunctorily.

"Also, when you hear the call, use this immediately." Little Barty took out a broken bowl from his pocket and threw it to Ike.

"Another Portkey? I see."

Seeing that Ike put away the Portkey, Little Barty was obviously relieved, and without speaking, he directly hid his figure and disappeared into the maze.

Silently watching the place where Little Barty disappeared, after a while, Ike left the place.

This time, it was much faster, walking straight to the center of the maze.After passing through an unknown number of hedges, Ike saw the trophy placed on the central table.

"So lovely……"

Whispering, and lightly waving his right hand, his body gradually faded until he disappeared in place.
