Chapter 170: Trophies and Portkeys

"Long time no see, Mrs. Weasley, Bill." Bending down so that Julianne didn't have to stand on her tiptoes, Ike regained his feet before he greeted Mrs. Weasley and Bill, who had been smiling at him.

"Long time no see, Ike." Mrs. Weasley smiled and hugged Ike, while Bill shook his hand and said,

"Great, we've all heard, did you really kill a dragon?" Ike nodded a little embarrassed and asked, "You guys...... Is it a relative on behalf of Harry? ”

"yes." Bill glanced at Mrs. Weasley on the side and whispered,

"You know, that family...... So, here we are. After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders.

"By the way, do you see Harry?"

"Nope." Ike shook his head,

"He shouldn't know it's your ......"

"Yes." Bill said.

"Why don't I go and take Julianne around the school." With that, Ike turned around and said to Julian,

"Shall we go out for a walk? You haven't had breakfast yet, just in time for a school breakfast, and the pancakes and waffles are very good. ”

"Okay." Saying goodbye to Mrs. Weasley and Bill, Ike led Julian into the adjacent auditorium.

As soon as I entered, I saw Hermione, Harry, and Ron on the Gryffindor table.

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

"I'm ......," Harry looked a little depressed and resistant, and Ike said with a smile,

"Trust me, you won't be disappointed. And Ron, I think you should go too. ”

"Me?"

"Ron?" Harry paused for a moment, then thought of it, and ran out with Ron in his hands.

"It's Julian, it's ......" After Harry and Ron left, Ike smiled at Hermione and introduced them to each other.

But halfway through speaking, Julianne sat down next to Hermione, took her hand, and said enthusiastically, "You're Hermione, I've finally seen you." ”

"This ...... You know me? Hermione was stunned, a little unsure of what was going on.

"Of course I do. It's just that I know. Julianne glared at Ike, then smiled again when she looked at Hermione,

"This kid didn't tell me."

"Really? Hahaha......" Hermione flicked the knife and ignored it, and instead chatted warmly with Julianne.

There is basically nothing going on with Ike on the agenda for the rest of the day, and Hermione and Julianne have a good relationship with each other inexplicably, and they have been walking together in front, not knowing what they are talking about.

Ike was only a short distance behind, and only when the two of them called out to her, did he take two quick steps to get to him. One morning they walked around the castle, and after lunch, they circled the outside of the castle again, and did not return until dinner began.

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

"Didn't we sit together at noon?"

"The dinner is different, we are two colleges after all." Hermione explained,

"Besides, we'll be able to sit together when the game starts."

"Okay." Julianne was a little unsatisfied, but she understood Hermione, and followed Ike to the Ravenclaw table and sat down, and waved to Hermione, who had just returned to the Gryffindor table.

Hermione also waved her hand enthusiastically, then looked at Ike, smiled, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Ike also smiled. This scene was seen by Julie safely, but she didn't say anything, but the smile on her face was even worse.

The dinner was very hearty, and Ike kept introducing Julianne to some foods unique to the wizarding world, and he ate a lot of them himself, and he didn't feel nervous at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time, and I'm going to invite you to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final event of the Triwizard Tournament." When everyone was almost finished, Dumbledore stood up and said,

"Warriors, please go first with Mr. Bagman." Saying goodbye to Julianne and Stewart, he waved to Hermione from afar, and amid the cheers and applause of the auditorium, Ike left the auditorium with Harry, Krum, and Fleur.

Follow Ludo to the Quidditch pitch, which has completely changed by this time. A huge hedge surrounded the pitch, and there was only a gap in front of them, and it was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly.

It wasn't long before everyone else came over and took their seats in the audience, and the stadium became noisy.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Moody, and Hagrid also walked over, followed by five or six Aoro.

After greeting Ludo, Professor McGonagall said to the warriors, "We will patrol the outside of the maze, and if we are in trouble and want to rescue, we will shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will rush to the first place." Seeing that the warriors all nodded, Professor McGonagall and the others spoke another word to Ludo, and left, scattering around the labyrinth.

Ludo looked at the time and pressed his wand to his throat, his voice echoing throughout the stadium under the effect of the loud incantation.

"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 blew, Ike was the first to run into the maze, but after the first turn, he slowed down and took a leisurely look at his surroundings.

He is not in a hurry at all, for him the maze and the competition are not the key, if he wants to, the trophy in the center of the maze is at his fingertips.

The key is time, the time to find the trophy. It wasn't long before the whistle blew again, and it was Krum coming in.

After a while, after two whistles sounded and Fleur and Harry came in, Ike picked up his pace a little and walked towards the center.

Like a walk, with a lift of his left hand, a crack in the hedge in front of him was revealed, and with another wave, the huge whack was overturned, and with a wave of the wand in his right hand, the ground rolled and trapped it inside, revealing only one head.

"Ike." After walking a little further, a man suddenly appeared not far ahead.

"Has it started?" Ike folded his hands in front of him, pinched his wand in his right hand, and quietly watched the visitor,

"Come to think of it, there's something I have to do."

"You're going to make sure Harry gets the trophy."

"Trophies? You replaced him with a portkey? Ike whispered,

"What a trick to be reckoned with, little Barty."

"But it works." Little Barty still had a Moody's face on his head and said coldly,

"You're just an insurance policy."

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

"Also, when you hear a call, use this right away." Barty Jr. took a broken bowl out of his pocket and tossed it to Ike.

"Another portkey? I know. Seeing Ike put away the door key, little Barty obviously sighed, didn't speak, and directly hid his figure and disappeared into the maze.

Silently watching where Barty Jr. had disappeared, it was a moment before Ike left where he was. This time, it was much faster, and I walked straight towards the center of the maze.

After going through an unknown number of hedges, Ike saw the trophy placed on the central platform.

"It's so pretty......" muttered, waving his right hand, and his body slowly faded until he disappeared in place.
