Chapter 156: The Time Turner Recovered
To be honest, Ike still underestimated his popularity at Hogwarts right now.
After Cedric's explanation, everyone agreed that Ike would become a Hogwarts Warrior. Walking into the Great Hall, even the Slytherin guys cheered for Ike.
Ike smiled and waved at the snakes, talking enthusiastically to everyone who encouraged him.
Although, in the past, Ike was a person who was used to being alone, and always gave people a sense of unsociability. But no one ever found him untouchable.
Treating everyone who has shown kindness to him is a small code of conduct for Ike.
"Sure enough, you're better suited to be a Hogwarts Warrior than I am." Cedric hugged Ike as the crowd watched, "I think you're going to win us the final trophy." β
"You've got a big problem for me." Ike patted Cedric on the back in retaliation.
"But it's not that hard for you." Cedric smiled back.
"Of course."
Ike was confident that he didn't think he would lose to anyone in those three events if the competition hadn't changed, but he was a little eager to try.
He also wanted to know where his magic level was now, and how far away he was from the ceiling like Dumbledore and Comrade Fu.
Amid laughter, Ike finished his breakfast. After chatting with everyone for a while, seeing that Hermione hadn't returned yet, Ike went straight to the library.
But as soon as he entered the hallway on the second floor, Ike met Professor McGonagall oncoming him.
"Mr. Stred, I was just going to look for you." Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a good mood and beckoned, "Come to my office, there's something I need to talk to you about." β
Obediently following Professor McGonagall into her office, and sitting down in her chair obediently, Ike asked, "Professor McGonagall, what is the matter?" β
"That's right." Professor McGonagall pushed down her glasses, a little embarrassed.
"Since you're now a Hogwarts Warrior and need to participate in the Tournament, I'll probably have to take back your access to the Timeturner out of fairness."
"Yes, Professor McGonagall." Ike obediently removed the time-turner from his neck and placed it on Professor McGonagall's desk.
"I hope you understand, Ike." Professor McGonagall said as she put away the timer, "Because of some ...... Why, Hogwarts is under a lot of pressure right now and we need to make the game as fair as possible. β
"I understand, Professor." Ike said with a smile, "Also, as a warrior, don't you have the privilege of not taking the final exam, so I can choose to relax my study of some elective courses for a while." β
"Of course, next year, I hope to still be able to get access to the time converter, and I want to try to get all 12 certificates on the OWLS exam."
"Oh, if you insist next semester, you'll get it." Professor McGonagall seemed satisfied, and good sensible students were always liked.
Ike was actually prepared to take away the time turner, it was impossible for the Ministry of Magic to let such a cheating artifact remain in his hands, even if the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament was cheating, it couldn't be so obvious.
Moreover, Ike doesn't have that much need for the Time Turner now, his magic strength has been in a bottleneck for a long time, and until he finds a way to advance to Lv7, the Time Turner will only give him more time to make potions and make extra money.
But now, with the school's license, in addition to the compulsory courses such as Transfiguration, Charms, and Potion, Ike has a lot more free time, and it is also rare to relax.
It was the first time in four years, and it was a bit unaccustomed at first.
Harry's life was much tougher by comparison.
As the little snakes led by Malfoy preached more and more, Harry's reputation also plummeted, and everyone even felt that it was a preferential treatment for his "savior" status.
Moreover, in Gryffindor, Harry's basic plate, there are also people who question Harry.
Those people also said that even Ron, Harry's little henchman, was estranged from him!
"Those two are kids!" Hermione was angry and irritated by the situation.
"One wants to be explained but doesn't give it a chance, the other wants to explain but doesn't say it at all......"
"The boys are really naΓ―ve!"
After saying that, he glared at Ike viciously.
"I'm different." Ike shook his head and retorted.
"I'm even more naΓ―ve than they are."
"Humph! Count you as knowing. Hermione was in a better mood.
"By the way, did you prepare in advance?"
"Prepare what?" Ike asked.
"Competition, what else could it be." Hermione was suddenly interested, took a thick book from her backpack and began to flip through it.
"I looked at the events of the Triwizard Tournament and found that every edition had a project against dangerous magical creatures." Hermione took out her quill again and wrote it in her notebook.
"The Hippogriff has winged beasts, griffins, ptarmigans, eight-eyed spiders, and-headed snake-tailed monsters, and there are all but three of them."
"So, I think it's necessary to know how to deal with those dangerous magical creatures in advance."
As she spoke, Hermione placed a book that Ike was very familiar with in front of him.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you know I've seen it many times." Ike still took it, "But I think what you said makes a lot of sense, and it's good to review and review." β
"Of course." Hermione was delighted, "It's just that I don't have a clue about the other two competitions, and every year is different. β
"And logical ability, thinking ability, how to improve this kind of thing!"
"Why don't you take a look at Sherlock Holmes? I can ask my mom to send a set, and Murder on the Orient Express! β
"Alright, Hermione." Ike interrupted Hermione, "Trust me, those won't bother me. β
Thinking about what Ike had done, Hermione nodded subconsciously.
"Well, you're right."
"If it's you, I don't think anything can stump you."
"But there's one thing I want you to promise me."
"What's the matter?" Ike asked, confused.
"Win it!"
"Of course." Ike laughed, "Krum and Fleur aren't my opponents at all!" β
"Don't be too arrogant, Ike." Hermione laughed too.
"They're two or three grades higher than you!"
"But I also beat Moody, didn't I?"
"It's ...... too"
