If I'd given Peeves a fear spell from time to time over the years, he would have been impressed with him.

Thinking of this, Ivan smiled, Althea was even more naughty than he imagined when he was a child.

The two chatted all the way, strolling through the sun-drenched meadows, and then went to the Black Lake to see Beauxbatons' luxurious carriage and the huge ghost ship docked at the lake.

After a series of side inquiries, Ivan roughly learned that his mother Althea was younger than Sirius and Snape, and they didn't meet much when they were students, and all the conflicts were accumulated after graduation.

Althea was reluctant to talk too much about the matter, and quickly shifted the conversation to the Final Three Cup matches.

Although the Daily Prophet reports on the outcome and process of each match, she is still interested in how Ivan defeated the fire dragon and rescued the hostages underwater.

Especially the latter, because under the processing of Rita Skeeter, Ivan's rescue operation at the bottom of the lake is rendered into a vulgar love triangle - the warrior Ivan Hals and his beloved Miss Granger fall in love with a kiss at the bottom of the lake, but on the way back, the two accidentally meet the shipwrecked Miss Delacour......

Then the story is so bloody that Rita Skeeter even spends a full five lines arguing why Ivan would give priority to saving Fleur, who is also a warrior, over Hermione, who is a hostage.

After listening to Althea's narration, Ivan couldn't help but wonder if Rita Skeeter was tired of being alive and dared to write anything for the sake of sales, but under Althea's inquiring gaze, he had to explain helplessly.

"Mom, I've only met Fleur a few times, and there are no such messy emotional entanglements at all, and I saved her because of Hermione's suggestion......"

"What about Miss Granger? I saw that the Daily Prophecy said that she was still your dance partner, is that also false? Aisya asked with a smile.

Ivan was speechless for a moment, and under Aisyah's repeated questioning, he could only vaguely say that she had a good relationship with him.

But it didn't take long for Ivan to regret it, because during lunch, Althea showed great enthusiasm for Hermione, and even inquired about the little witch's family situation directly, which made Ivan next to him very embarrassed, he felt that this progress was not too fast.

Hermione also seemed a little restless, her previous sharp teeth did not know where to go, and she stammered when answering Althea's questions.

In the afternoon, the entire auditorium was decorated, and the flags of the three major schools fluttered in the wind in the air, looking very grand.

Towards evening, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, appeared in the foyer with several Aurors, all with a black face and a reluctant smile during the meeting with Dumbledore.

Fortunately, none of this had anything to do with Ivan, and he was listening to Althea's nagging while enjoying today's dinner.

Harry beside him was not so laid-back, and the game was about to start made him nervous, so he didn't want to enjoy today's dinner even though it was much richer than usual.

When the last young wizard had eaten and drunk and put down his knife and fork, Dumbledore cleared his throat and stood up from the faculty desk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes I'm going to invite you to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now invite the Warriors to the athletic field with Mr. Bagman. ”

Ivan Shiran got up and walked out of the Great Hall with Harry in front of everyone's attention, and Fleur and Krum got up from their seats and walked out with them.

Bagman had been waiting for them outside the foyer early, and when he saw Ivan, a deep smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Warriors, follow me!" Bagman greeted, and then led Ivan and the others towards the Quidditch pitch.

On the way, Bagman explained the rules of the third game to several people in great detail.

The whole game is played in a giant maze, and the Goblet of Fire, which represents the final victory, is placed in the center of the maze, and the condition for victory is that the warrior gets the Goblet of Fire and walks out of the maze smoothly!

"Mr. Bagman, wouldn't that be useless in that case?" Harry asked curiously.

Fleur and Krum were very happy because they were so far behind in the previous game that they would have no chance of winning if the third game was still based on points.

However, before they could be happy, Bagman replied with a smile. "No, of course it works, the higher the score, the sooner the warrior will enter the maze...... Hals, for example, can get in at least three minutes before you do! ”

The expressions on Fleur and Krum's faces suddenly darkened, Ivan's strength was far above them, if he had to enter the labyrinth first, the advantage would be too great!

What's more, Bagman is talking about at least three minutes, which should mean that Harry, who is now second in the score, will have to wait three minutes before he can enter, and the more they are behind the score, they will only wait longer!

The only thing that makes them feel fortunate is that the Warriors will not win on the spot after getting the trophy, they can also choose to intercept Ivan who has come out of the maze and snatch the Goblet of Fire!

Thinking about this, Krum deliberately fell a few feet behind and turned to look at Fleur, trying to ask for her support.

Krum knew very well that he alone would never be able to snatch the trophy from Ivan's hands, and that only when they combined could they have the slightest chance of winning.

Fleur didn't agree directly, but hesitated, Ivan helped her a lot in the last game, and she didn't want to take revenge if it wasn't necessary.

While the group was on their minds, Bagman had already led them to the Quidditch pitch.

The place was completely different from the previous days, with a twenty-foot-tall hedge surrounding the edge of the field, except for a gap in front of it.

Looking through the entrance, it was pitch black, and you could only faintly see the passages that crisscrossed in depth......

After about five minutes, the students, led by Dumbledore, entered the surrounding stands, which were packed and noisy.

Ivan, Harry, Fleur, and Krum stood at the entrance to the labyrinth, waiting for all the spectators to arrive.

A huge crystal ball has been suspended above the labyrinth, just like it did in the second game, and will relive the Warriors' performances to the little wizards in the paddock after the game officially begins.

This was the last insurance that Ivan had specially prepared, in case Harry was robbed in the labyrinth like the original plane.
