The hour was fast approaching, and as Harry surfaced with Ron on his shoulder, the second project came to an end.

Unsurprisingly, Ike was still in first place, Krum was second, Fleur was third, and Harry was directly at the bottom.

Contrary to what she remembers, Fleur rescues her sister Gabrielle, who came out of the lake within two minutes of Krum's completion, and Harry is so far away from her that she is almost squeezing the deadline.

It's very similar to the beginning of the game, it's really uncomfortable not to step on it.

"Gentlemen and ladies, we have made a decision!" Ludo's voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"The leader of the fish-men told us everything that had happened at the bottom of the lake, and after deliberation of the jury, we made the following decision......

"Victor Krum has used Transfiguration, which is incomplete, but effective. He was the second to come back, and we gave him forty points! ”

"Fleur Delacul's bubble head spell is excellent, and she defused Grindillo's attack when she approached the hostage. But since she was the third to come back, we gave her thirty-seven points! ”

"Mr. Harry Potter used the gill grass, and the effect was amazing, but he miscalculated the effectiveness of the muzzle grass, and although he also rescued the hostages, it failed on the way back. As the last warrior to come back, we decided to give him thirty-five points! ”

"Finally, Mr. Ike Strider ......"

Ludo suddenly became agitated and shouted, "He showed us his mastery of ancient magic, and his mastery of magic!" ”

"Perfect sea control! Brilliant sea control! ”

"He was the first to come back, and he was even halfway there!"

"So, we decided to ......"

"Forty-five points! Yes, Mr. Ike Strider has won first place again! ”

"Congratulations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ludo was the first to slap his face, and there was applause in the stands, but it was obviously not very enthusiastic, and some of the Hogwarts students kept glaring at Karkaroff.

Yes, four out of four votes, only Karkaroff scored five.

It's one more point than the last time, is it an improvement?

Ike didn't think anything, Karkaroff's meaning was already very obvious, that is, he was holding Krum, and basically didn't want to face for this.

Looking at Karkaroff's performance, he doesn't care at all.

"One more thing...... Ludo continued, "the last event will be held on the evening of June 24th, and the Warriors will know the details of the program a month in advance!" ”

"Thank you all for your support, and we'll see you on June 24!"

The crowd in the stands slowly dispersed, and Ike and Hermione couldn't walk yet. All warriors and freed hostages were to go to the school hospital first, as Madam Pomfrey demanded. In order to prevent them from catching a cold, everyone had to drink a bottle of potion to cure a cold and change into dry clothes before leaving.

Then, it's time to celebrate.

This night, at least in Ravenclaw, was indeed a sleepless night......

In March, the temperature gradually warms up.

Since the last project is not until the end of the semester, people's hearts are back to learning.

It's still influential, "Prophet Daily", "Wizard Weekly" and even "Singing Contrarian" publish some articles about the Triwizard Tournament from time to time, which will always grab everyone's attention again.

This is a very common warm-up method, after all, three months is not a long time, but it is enough to make people forget that there is another event in the Triwizard Tournament.

It didn't affect Ike, he enjoyed his life immensely, and Hermione also reduced the frequency of the time turner, similar to Ike last year's off-semester, only for classes.

When they were idle, they would always appear together in various places inside and outside the castle, sometimes for a walk, sometimes simply sitting by the lake, just quietly looking at the black lake, enjoying the time with each other.

Ike was sure that Hermione must have sensed something, but she wasn't saying anything about it.

As if everything had to be said......

But Ike didn't notice that Hermione's gaze would always fall on his left arm from time to time......

Barty didn't bother him anymore, and his Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson had finally ended his teaching of the Snatcher Charm and was actually teaching some books.

Of course, Barty Jr. doesn't follow the rules. Starting with the content of the fourth grade and continuing through the seventh grade, he picked out the most difficult parts of all the spells to be learned in these four grades, one in each lesson, regardless of whether it was something to be learned in the grade or not.

What's even more amazing is that what he teaches doesn't go against what he said in the first lesson: what to do in the face of danger.

Aside from the rest of the course, Barty Jr. is indeed the best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Well, on par with Lupin.

Unlike the cozy Ike, Karkaroff hasn't had a good time lately. Everyone found out that he had been going to see Snape lately, and the two would talk in a low voice in the corner for a long time from time to time, once even when Snape was still in class, and waited until the end of class.

One will speculate that these two people, who are supposedly impossible to have contact with, why did Karkaroff go to Snape so often?

Ike was clear about this, and he felt it, and the Dark Mark on his left arm had been getting clearer and clearer lately.

This can only mean one thing: Comrade Lao Fu's strength is recovering, and he is getting stronger and stronger......

Moreover, there is another thing that people don't notice, and that is that every time the two get together and talk quietly, Moody always shows up not far from them.

Of course, Moody has been secretly staring at Snape and Karkaroff since the beginning of the semester, but what others don't know is that Moody's magic eye was turning before, and now it is motionless......

There is also a strong killing intent......

You'll need to pay attention, Professor.

After a Potions class in April, Ike approached Snape with a book under the pretext of asking questions, and the words in the book flashed away.

"It's a very simple question, I've talked about it in class, and if you focus more on my class than on the Know-It-All Miss Gryffindor, you should know ......"

Snape said vicious words in his mouth, but the quill in his hand wrote in Ike's book: After curfew, office.

"I see, Professor." Ike said as he took the book back, nodded slightly, and left.

When he walked out of the classroom door, he greeted Karkarov, who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time.

Of course, he didn't forget Professor Moody at the end of the hallway.
