Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

Chapter 340 The second game begins!

There is only one week left until February 24th, but it looks like our warriors have found the answer.

Because... they are even more nervous now! They are busy preparing every day.

"What are you doing here, dog?"

Ivan kicked Neville in the butt, giving him a fright.

Neville turned pale with fright, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was Ivan.

"It's you, Ivan. I thought it was Professor Snape." Neville patted his chest and collapsed on the ground.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me." Alvin became curious.

Neville suddenly felt a little embarrassed and explained his intentions in a halting manner.

He was here to help Harry steal the gillyweed.

I have to say that Neville is really loyal. Even though he is still very afraid of Professor Snape, he still chooses to take risks for his friends.

"Oh~it's no big deal, just look at me." Alvin was still wondering what it was, it's no big deal!

Even though Neville's inferiority and cowardice had mostly faded away, this strong young man who was already as strong as an iron tower still showed fear when he saw Ai Wen blatantly dragging him to the old bat's habitat.

Neville: That's the old bat!

At the door of the St. Church's cellar, Ivan let go of Neville and pushed the door open with a bang, just like he was returning to his own home, scaring Neville so much that his soul almost flew out of his body!

Snape was selecting herbs for his next experiment from his small inventory, and Ivan's appearance made him pause.

Alvin walked in as if he didn't see the teacher. After searching for a while, he found the fish gill grass, took a piece, turned around and closed the door without saying anything, and left.

Snape still kept reaching out for it, but his face was already completely dark...

"Come on! Place your bets! Place your bets!"

"Place your bets, friends. Three guys and one girl, who will have the last laugh?"

The Gemini still did not miss any opportunity to make money, even though Alvin had promised them that he would finance their joke shop in the future.

clang~ clang~ clang~

Three bells rang, and the second game of the Triwizard Tournament officially began!

Three wooden platforms were built in Black Lake over three days as a temporary competition venue. In the last week, everyone already knew that the second game would be held in Black Lake, so there was no need to conceal it.

But Ivan was thinking, if Harry and the others didn't reveal the answer, would they know the content of the game at the last moment? But if that were the case, they would not be prepared at all, so it made sense.

boom!

After Old Deng announced the rules of the game, a salute sounded, announcing the official start of the game.

Nighold floated on the water, and Ivan sat on its head. He watched Harry being kicked down and yawned in boredom.

Their mission was to go into the water and rescue Ron and the others. Ivan was also called last night. Karkaroff, who had a short memory, thought that Ivan had a good relationship with Cedric, so he wanted Ivan to be a hostage.

Thinking of falling asleep in the lake for an hour, Alvin calmly crushed a wooden table in the temporary office prepared for the competition with his bare hands.

Mr. Crouch politely asked Percy to send Ivan out of the office. Dumbledore was still leisurely eating candy, looking like "It has nothing to do with me, you are the ones who want to mess with him."

Crouch glared at Karkaroff. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

"How have you been recently? Do you have any plans for the future?" Ivan sat on Nighold's head and chatted with Percy.

"Fortunately, Mr. Crouch is a really great man. I learned a lot from him about the things needed in official circles."

After graduation, Percy started working for old Barty, and as an outstanding graduate of the previous year, he also played a very important role in this competition, so old Barty valued Percy very much.

"Then keep working hard. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me. I may be able to provide you with some help. Don't be too straightforward in official circles, otherwise some obscure things will be difficult to handle."

"Well, that's what Mr. Crouch said, so I will."

"Then you have to work hard. I'm waiting for you to become successful and then I'll rely on you for support."

"Don't give me that. I've heard a lot about the reputation of Zenith Group recently. Do you really need to wait for me to become successful? Don't be ridiculous."

While waiting, Ivan chatted with Percy, joking and talking about serious matters. It must be said that Percy did have a talent for being an official, but his personality allowed him to become a high-ranking official, but not the highest one!

As Ivan and Percy were chatting, they talked about Mr. Arthur. Percy felt stressed about his father's reputation in the ministry.

Mr. Arthur was a bit of an idealist. He was very disgusted with many of the "inhumane" decisions of the Ministry of Magic, and he did not socialize with the wizarding upper class. As a result, he had not achieved much over the years and only worked to make a living for his family.

Percy wanted to escape this fate, he wanted to be a high-ranking official with a good salary to give his family a better life! If he could be born earlier, Ron and his friends wouldn't have to wear old robes and carry old books to school.

This was also what puzzled Ivan. Arthur could obviously make a side job with his ancestral craft. Pure-blood families would more or less have a unique skill, just like the flying car he made in the second grade!

That kind of alchemical technique is not something that ordinary people can learn, and the alchemical technique that the twins demonstrated in school further illustrates this.

If he opened a flying car company, he would definitely be able to grab a large market share in this era! Unfortunately, Arthur has been living a life of lying flat.

To be honest, Ivan really felt that Arthur was a bit irresponsible in this regard. He had a pure-blood family background, but he lived such a difficult life. Even though the Burrow was very cozy, it still could not change the fact that they only had one Galleon in their savings at Gringotts.

During the chat with Percy, Ivan became more determined to make Mr. Arthur lose his iron rice bowl.

Why not start a flying car company? Wang Aiwen invested in this project!

Chapter 341 Weird Grindylow

Gulu gulu gulu~

Ivan was chatting happily with Percy when bubbles appeared on the water surface. Fleur was eliminated first. She was ambushed by Grindylow and lost her qualification to participate before she could find Gabrielle.

"Hmm? Something's wrong!" Looking at the scars on Furong's exposed skin, Ivan clearly felt something was wrong.

Although she was rescued by Ms. Maxim immediately, she still suffered external injuries.

But Ivan remembered that he had said hello to the creatures at the bottom of the lake before the game, and they would not harm the players and their friends.

For this purpose, old man Newt even went into the water himself.

"That's not right. Logically, Grindylow should have let Fleur go when she lost her mobility. But look at the bite marks and scratches on her body. It's obvious that it was intentional."

Percy also noticed it, and after talking to Ivan, he immediately went to find Mr. Crouch and asked whether the game should be suspended first.

Ivan also jumped off Nighold's head. Seeing her daughter injured, Ms. Maxime was discussing with Dumbledore. She didn't say in advance that if she failed, she would be eaten by the monster! Didn't she say that the threat was in place?

Dumbledore didn't know what happened and could only explain that it was an accident.

"This is for you. It'll be ready soon." Ivan came to Fleur and handed her a bottle of pink potion.

Before Fleur could say anything, Madam Pomfrey snatched it away, expertly opened the lid and sprayed it on Fleur's wound.

"You kid, didn't you say you had no more? How dare you lie to me? I have used it all up." Madam Pomfrey glared at Ivan.

Ivan shuddered all over and got goosebumps.

So scary~(;*△*;)

"Well, this is something I just made recently when I had some free time." Alvin smiled awkwardly.

Like those, this trauma medicine is from the spell encyclopedia, and because it is effective, it was favored by the school hospital.

"I'm so useless. I can't even deal with those little things. I hope Gabrielle is okay." Furong looked at Ivan with annoyance and worry, with a hint of unwillingness.

Even Harry was fine, but she was eliminated so quickly, really...

"Don't worry, Gabrielle will be fine, I promise." Ivan comforted.

In his magic pupil world, the different life sources at the bottom of the lake are all safe and sound, but the life sources surrounding them, aren’t they a bit too many?

Those belonged to the grindylows and the merpeople.

Having said that, there had been no accidents so far in the game, so it could not be interrupted, and Percy was sent back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Crouch, they all agreed that it's okay." Percy said a little disappointed.

"It's okay, let's wait and see. If something really happens, I will let the guys at the bottom of the lake see what the deterrent power of the Dragon King is like." Ivan said, looking at Nighold who was floating on the water.

Nighold seemed to understand what Ivan meant. His pupils stood up and he looked ready to attack at any time.

After most of the time had passed, Cedric floated up with Zhang Qiu injured. Even after they came up, there was still a Grindylow biting Cedric's shoulder.

However, Cedric, who had his hands free, knocked it down with his magic.

After a while, Krum and Hermione came up and they were in the same situation.

"Those guys are crazy. They started attacking me crazily as soon as I got down." The first thing Krum did after getting ashore was to complain.

Ivan glanced at Moody indifferently. From his perspective, Harry was the only one who was not attacked madly by the Grindylows, as if the other contestants were killed specifically for him.

If this is true, then it must be Moody's doing. Is that old monster getting impatient? Then the game won't be too late, right? I don't understand~

"Niggard! Go down and bring up that little girl! Catch some more strange fish." Suddenly, Ivan shouted angrily.

"Roar!!!" A deafening dragon roar sounded, and Nighold's huge body dived down.

Ivan saw it. Harry originally wanted to bring Ron and Gabrielle up together, but the mermaid and Grindylow below seemed to not let them!

Moody also became visibly anxious, as if... he had messed up.

puff~

Several blue-green icicles stretched out from the water. Ron was the first to float out of the water. Percy ran over and pulled Ron up as soon as he stretched out his hand, and wrapped him tightly with a blanket.

"I'm fine...Percy!" Ron was breathless due to the sudden care.

Percy tried too hard~

Harry jumped out of the water, covered in wounds. Nigholdt's big head also floated up, with Gabrielle on its head.

After bringing the girl to shore, Nighold held out his claws, which contained several grindylows and mermaids.

Then it's time for interrogation! Their behavior is so abnormal.

But Ivan noticed that Moody seemed relieved.

During Dumbledore's inspection, he discovered that the mermaids and grindylows were under a spell, making them believe that the order was to kill everyone in the water.

This incident was obviously premeditated. Dumbledore immediately set his sights on Harry, thinking that this was directed at Harry again.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

The second match ended with Karkaroff's cursing greeting and Dumbledore announcing Krum's second-to-last place.
