Thinking so, Ivan looked at Hermione with a slightly more strange gaze.

Hermione turned her head away from continuing on the topic, but hurried to get down to business. "Did you find a clue to the second game? Ivan? Harry? We'd better figure it out in two days, and if it's as dangerous as the fire dragon, you'll probably need a few more days to prepare......"

Ivan didn't answer, but Harry took out his golden egg.

"Mr. Bagman said that the golden egg could be opened, and the clue was in it, I haven't tried it before......" Harry said distractedly, digging his fingernails into a groove in the golden egg, and easily opened the golden egg.

Ivan didn't expect Harry to be so reckless, and he couldn't stop it at all.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying, shrill and piercing scream resounded in the common room.

Harry and Hermione, who were closest to her, covered their ears in pain, and everyone else in the common room heard the noise and turned their heads to look.

"Quietus~" Ivan waved his wand for the first time, and the piercing screams quickly subsided.

Harry grabbed the golden egg and slammed it shut.

The little wizards in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief, and Ron rubbed his ears and muttered. "What the hell is this? The banshee's cry? What kind of clue is this? Could it be that in the second level, you need to subdue a banshee? ”

Harry nodded, he thought Ron's guess was very likely, they had already dealt with a fire dragon, and he wouldn't be surprised if there was another banshee.

Hermione, however, had a different meaning and vetoed. "It can't be a banshee, their voice is anything like that."

"Hermione, how can you be so sure? Have you ever heard the banshee's cry? Harry asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten? We learned it when we were in second grade! Hermione squinted, looking at Harry with a look of surprise.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, have they studied? Why don't they remember?

Ivan quickly remembered it and echoed. "You're talking about Lockhart's "Break with a Female Ghost", right? I've seen it too, and it's described in great detail...... The banshee's cry is shrill and desolate, and usually makes the listener feel very sad. ”

"That's right! This is different from what we just heard, it was obviously not crying, and we didn't feel sad. Hermione said eloquently, then continued with some uncertainty. It's like singing......"

Harry rolled his eyes, thinking that Hermione's guess was so unreliable, how could a creature sing so badly.

Ron also pouted, isn't Lockhart a liar? Who would have flipped through that guy's book if they had nothing to do, and who knows if Lockhart wrote it blindly...... So he and Harry continued their discussion.

After yesterday's incident, their relationship has returned to a normal state, and no one has taken the initiative to mention the previous contradiction.

Convinced of her thoughts, Hermione pulled out a copy of the Illustrated Book of Magical Creatures from the pile of books in front of her, and began to look for clues related to sound.

Ivan pretended to pick up a book and flipped through it, but the thoughts in his brain drifted to another place.

He already knew the specific content of the second game, and he also placed the golden egg in the water to confirm that it was indeed at the bottom of the lake to rescue the hostages like the original time and space.

The reason why I don't say it now is that I hope to use this incident as bait to see if I can fish out the hidden Barty Crouch Jr.

But even if he knew the content of the game in advance, Ivan couldn't be idle these days, because he had so much to do!

In addition to practicing the Regent with Hermione every afternoon, he also had to find time to get rid of the fish in the Black Lagoon in preparation for the second game.

With no rest in his spare time at night, he needs to monitor the entire school with a map to see if Barty Crouch Jr. will pop up out of nowhere.

In addition, there is one of the most important and arduous things, and that is to brew the bloodline fusion potion!

After these days of fermentation, the last time he received the system task [Enthusiastic Cluster] is about to be completed, he expects that after another wave of prestige in the second mission, he will be able to get those two precious legendary points and start the next round of bloodline fusion.

The corresponding potion naturally has to be made in advance.

The only thing that relieved Ivan was that Luna had written back to him yesterday to indicate that she had accepted her advice and had recently tried to stay away from the Forbidden Forest and go to find the Scimitar Snorkel together until after the second match, presumably because she didn't want to disturb her at this time, probably considering that the game was approaching.

This allowed Ivan to focus all his energy on something more urgent......

After a morning of rummaging through the information, Harry and Hermione were a little annoyed, they had not been able to decipher the information contained in the scream, which Ivan had expected, and casually said a few words of comfort, and then went to the Great Hall with everyone to enjoy today's lunch.

In the afternoon, Ivan practiced with Hermione on his usual mindfulness.

Unlike Luna's obedience, Hermione did not refuse to be checked by him, but every time she saw a picture of them getting along in her memory, Hermione's resistance was always very fierce.

She constantly uses her nascent Occlumency to fend off Ivan's invasions, or perhaps creates a plausible false memory in an attempt to confuse Ivan.

The two of them are like playing a game in the labyrinth of minds, Hermione desperately tries to hide her true thoughts, and Ivan is like a big demon king quickly breaking through the layers of defenses set by the little witch, each time ending with Hermione failing and blushing and heartbeating.

Ivan was also satisfied to see that his near-stagnant Deception proficiency began to grow rapidly.

For the next few days, Ivan remained in a monotonous cycle, practicing magic during the day, brewing potions at night, or using the Boggart to transform into form, sneaking into the bottom of the lake to chat with the merfolk and listen to information along the way.

After a few days of understanding, Ivan discovered that although the merfolk were ugly, they were also intelligent creatures with their own language and habits, and liked to collect some wizard creations to decorate their nests.

However, they live at the bottom of the lake all year round and do not have a deep understanding of the cunning of wizards, so they are quickly tricked out by Ivan with a lot of information.

Dumbledore had spoken to them at the beginning of the school year and had obtained their permission to use the bottom of the lake as the venue for the second game.

Before the start of the game, the people the Warriors care about the most will be placed at the bottom of the lake to wait for rescue, and their mission is not to make the game more difficult, but to try to protect the hostages from unnecessary accidents.
