Ch 696-700

After making a few words about Krum, Bagman greeted the warriors to go to the podium together.

Dumbledore, Karkaroff and Maxim have all been waiting there, and Fudge replaced Crouch as the fifth referee of the game.

After the Warriors stood up, several referees discussed in low voices for a while. Taking into account the facial problems of Boothbatten and Durmstrang, they finally decided unanimously to omit the scoring link and directly announce the result.

The ugly faces of Maxim and Karkaroff only eased a little.

"Next, let us announce the final results of the Warriors!" After the discussion, Bagman cleared his throat, walked to the front of the stage, and shouted loudly.

"First is the first place, the final winner of this Triwizard Tournament, the warrior of Hogwarts-Mr. Ivan Hals!"

"Let us cheer for him!"

After Bagman's voice fell, thunderous applause broke out in the arena, and many little wizards stood up excitedly and shouted in excitement.

"Great, I knew Hals would definitely win the championship!"

"Did you see it? That's our Gryffindor warrior!"

...

In the warm cheers and shouts, the corners of Ivan's mouth slightly curled up, and his right hand held the trophy high and gestured to the surroundings, feeling very happy.

This is not only because of the championship, but more importantly, the system task that was taken before has finally been completed.

[Task: Defeat the Goblet of Fire (completed)

Mission: Participate in the Triwizard Tournament and win the championship!

Task reward: legendary value*3

Mission description: Under your careful planning, this tournament jointly organized by the three major magic schools in Europe has become your personal show. Your outstanding performance and legendary deeds will be loaded with this special tournament. history! ]

Looking at the task information displayed in the system panel, Ivan felt a little awkward, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After thinking about it, I realized that the task description was too normal, but it made him a little uncomfortable.

While Ivan was distracted, Bagman on the stage kept reading the results of the game.

The second place is rightly owned by Harry. Compared to the other players, he walked around the maze and subdued the snails and a few giant spiders, which is also a good performance.

Bussbarton's Warriors Fleur followed in third place.

As for Krum... Naturally, he can only be the bottom, the last.

When Bagman announced the result loudly, Karkaroff's face was ugly and scary, and Demstrang's little wizards glared at Krum, thinking that he was ashamed of Demstrang.

Furong's situation is a little better. With Krum's background, she is not likely to be complained by the students at the same school, but some of the girls in Boothbarton still criticize her in private. After all, Furong's last two games The reality of the project is terrible.

Amidst the festivities, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, also smiled a little more. The victory of the Goblet of Fire was not just a matter of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but also related to him as the Minister of Magic. Achievements and the face of the magic world in England!

So after Ivan finished the award-winning speech for several minutes, Fudge personally stepped forward as the award-giver and presented Ivan with the award for this competition-a whole thousand gold gallons were all packed in a bag. Here, Ivan felt heavy when he held it in his hand.

"Finally, please allow me to say one more thing!"

Dumbledore stood up suddenly after the closing ceremony, and his loud voice reverberated continuously in the arena, even suppressing the noisy voices of the little wizards.

For a while, the surroundings fell into a brief silence, and the little wizards all looked at Dumbledore on the judges' stage.

Under everyone's attention, Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and a purple beam of light rose into the sky, and exploded after a moment.

Colorful flags and petals in the sky continued to fall from the sky, covering the entire Quidditch stadium...

"Tonight I can acquiesce you to violate some less important school rules, so celebrate, that's all I want to say..." Dumbledore said with a smile.

George and Fred immediately jumped up happily, which means they can move out their usual inventory for use.

The other little wizards also ran down from the stands, rushing towards the podium, and surrounded the warriors in the middle.

"Ivan, you are amazing. You defeated so many monsters in the maze..." Seamus squeezed in front of Ivan and excitedly said the shocking scene he saw in the crystal ball before. .

Then Seamus turned his gaze to the golden trophy in Ivan's hand, his cheeks flushed, and he asked with some embarrassment. "Can I touch your trophy, Ivan?"

"Of course no problem!" Ivan handed the trophy generously.

Seamus took it with trembling hands, as if holding some treasure, very happy.

Just before he could hold it securely, George and Fred snatched the trophy in his hand. They also wanted to touch Ivan's trophy and get a touch of joy!

Watching this scene, Ivan shook his head amusedly, and talked to Esiah on his own, letting George and the others take the trophy to play, it was not very valuable anyway.

He has identified it a long time ago. Regardless of the gorgeous golden appearance of the trophy, it is actually not made of real gold...

The degree of stinginess of the Ministry of Magic can be seen.

"You shouldn't approve of their violation of school rules, Albus..." McGonagall said helplessly while looking at the noisy crowd underneath the audience stand. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

I don't know who threw a few booming fireworks in the venue. For a time, brilliant sparks splashed around, causing a lot of riots. McGonagall was very worried that someone would be injured in such a push.

"But this is indeed a day to celebrate, isn't it? Minerva? There is nothing wrong with relaxing properly..." Dumbledore replied.

McGonagall shook his head, and stopped arguing, but went straight to the business. "When should we go to that village?"

"Of course it is now. Voldemort may act at any time... If it is delayed, they may not be able to wait." Dumbledore said intentionally.

"But if we are all gone, what will Hogwarts do?" McGonagall couldn't help but hesitate.

"Sirius will be by Harry's side at any time tonight, and Severus and Flitwick will stay to protect the safety of the students." Dumbledore explained.

"In addition, the Aurors brought by Fudge will stay here before clearing the maze and transporting all the dangerous magical creatures away. If there is any accident, they will never sit back and watch the students get hurt..."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, McGonagall nodded, so it seemed that even if they were not there, the safety of the students didn't need to be worried.

Thinking about this, McGonagall suddenly turned his head to look at Ivan who was surrounded by the crowd, and suddenly pursed his lips and laughed. "I guess the mysterious person would not have expected Hals to end this game so quickly!"

"Perhaps..." Dumbledore said non-committal.

...

"Halse, our hero!"

"Gryffindor's warrior... Hogwarts star!"

On the temporary award platform, a large number of over-excited little wizards lifted Ivan up and threw them into the air, screaming and cheering constantly echoed in the arena.

The colorful flags and petals of various colors in the sky fell like raindrops, which lasted for several minutes without stopping.

When they fall on the ground or on a person, these petals will collapse and disappear without a trace. Obviously, all of this is transformed by magic.

Such a wide range of transformation magic made Ivan speechless and weighed it secretly in his heart.

If there is a period of preparation, Ivan thinks that he should be able to create similar scenes, but the coverage may be smaller.

Looking at it this way, the gap between him and Dumbledore is still very large in terms of the knowledge of Transfiguration. After all, the old professor was obviously only on a whim when he was casting spells, and he did it casually...

After a while, the little wizards of Gryffindor finally released Ivan from the air.

But Ivan couldn't be idle for a moment, because soon more little wizards came up and asked about his exciting experience in the maze.

Compared with Ivan, who was surrounded by many enthusiastic students, the other warriors were much deserted.

Maxim and a few Busbarton girls were comforting Fleur softly.

Karkaroff kept his face black all the time, resisting the urge to swear, and pulled Krum away directly. The students of Demstrang also had no face to stay here, disappointed with Karkaroff. Leave.

Harry, who is also a Hogwarts warrior, was squeezed aside by the crowd. Although from time to time there will be little wizards congratulating him on his second place, but most of the students will choose to go to Ivan's side. Only Ron and Xiao Sirius was still around him.

"You are really amazing, Harry!" Ron reached out and hammered Harry in the chest, talking like a cannon.

"I saw it in that crystal ball. You defeated a few giant spiders and a snail in the maze alone. God, I bet that snail must be fifteen feet long and the one on the back The pointed shell is harder than steel... even if an adult wizard encounters it, it will never be able to pick it up. Unexpectedly, you will succeed in defeating it!"

With Ron's constant boasting, Harry's expression became more and more embarrassed. "It's no big deal, Ron... Ivan managed to solve a dozen snails in one go."

"No, that's different, Harry!" Ron shook his head. "Did you not listen to Professor Dumbledore? Ivan is the best genius in Hogwarts' history, even a mysterious person inferior to him! "

"Although you are not as powerful as Ivan, but you also defeated the warriors of Boothbarton and Demstrang, there is no doubt." Ron emphasized.

"That's just because of your help, and luck is better..." Harry said embarrassedly. He knew how much he was capable.

Without everyone's help, he would probably die in the dragon's mouth in the first game. It would be impossible for him alone to think of using a flying broom and a curse to capture the dragon egg.

"Come on, besides you, the other warriors also have someone to help. This is the same for everyone, but you can be much better than them during the game!"

Ron talked freely about Harry's wonderful performance in every game.

For example, in the second game, when he encountered a mermaid at the bottom of the lake, Krum transformed into a ferocious shark head but was beaten by the mermaid. Furong chased him all the way in a panic, and finally fell into a trap. .

But Harry easily drove the mermaids away by magic...

"And when you were dealing with that Hungarian hornet, you could fly better than Krum!" Ron said appreciatively.

Harry looked at Ron very unexpectedly. He knew how much Ron admired Krum. Before, he posted a portrait of Krum in the dormitory. He even wanted to get out of the bed and let Krum sleep in the dormitory. in!

Ron noticed Harry's eyes, shrugged, and replied freely. "Oh, please don't look at me like that... Harry, it's true that I liked Krum before, but I've seen him clearly these days! I don't admire a warrior who makes a fool of every game, he is at best. Just a little talent for flying!"

At this point, Ron's words paused, and he looked at Harry with a pair of eyes, hesitated for a long time, then hesitated.

"And... the last time, I'm sorry, Harry! I shouldn't have said that, let alone doubt you..."

"It seems that you finally figured it out, that's really good..." Harry said irritably. He had explained so many times, but Ron was regarded as a deaf ear. It has been more than half a year before he finally came here. Apologize.

Ron smiled awkwardly, when he was about to say something, Sirius suddenly interrupted.

"Want to relax with me? Harry?"

"What? Now?" Harry turned his head and looked at Sirius somewhat unexpectedly, then immediately thought of something, and shook his head quickly. "No, I'm fine, I forgave Ron a long time ago..."

"It has nothing to do with this ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ I want to talk to you alone... Just the two of us, how about? It's too noisy here..." Sirius looked away from the referee's bench Come, said with a smile.

"Can't you say it here? What about Ron? He can't follow either?" Harry was puzzled.

"That's what Dumbledore meant..." Sirius's eyes were a little erratic.

"What task did the professor arrange for me?" Harry thought of this subconsciously.

"Yes, you can say the same, you should know where they are now...so we'd better hurry up so as not to delay things!" Sirius said urgently.

Harry nodded and agreed, giving Ron an apologetic look...

Sirius laughed, clutching Harry's wrist tightly, and leading him away.

Ron looked at the two people leaving behind for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that until now, Sirius has not congratulated Harry for his good results in the Triwizard Tournament...

"Wait... Harry!" Ron gritted his teeth and called out the two who were about to leave.

"What's the matter? Ron?" Harry stopped, turned his head to look at Ron, and asked in surprise.

Sirius also stopped, staring at Ron coldly.

Under the gaze of the two, Ron became more and more nervous.

Although he thought Sirius' behavior today was very weird, he was not 100% sure of this, and he even doubted whether he was too mindful.

The jokes he had made in the past because of his profligacy even flooded his mind, interrupting Ron's courage to question.

"I mean, if you really want to leave, shouldn't you inform the professor first..." Ronka stammered after a while.

While talking, Ron turned his gaze to look at the judges' desk. He really didn't have confidence in his judgment, so he wanted to ask the professors in the school for help.

However, Ron looked around and could not find a few professors and referees. Only a few Aurors were standing on the periphery of the maze, barely maintaining order.

"Don't read it, Dumbledore and the others have received the news that they have gone to the village early." Sirius said slowly, a slight smile appeared between the corners of his mouth.

After a pause, he looked at Harry again and continued. "So he asked me to take Harry along with him after the game, so as to protect him... McGonagall, Moody, and the others are there too!"

Sirius's reason seemed invulnerable to Ron, and his heart became more inclined to guess that his guess was wrong, and his tone became weaker. "Then do you want to talk to Ivan...you haven't had time to congratulate him on winning the game..."

"No, no need!" Sirius looked very impatient.

But he soon realized that his tone was wrong, and quickly remedied it. "I mean it's not too late to celebrate! And Ivan is different from us. He wants to stay to protect Hogwarts. It's impossible to leave!"

"Now we should go, Harry! Dumbledore will be anxious if we wait any longer!" Sirius didn't want to spend time with Ron here, pulling Harry's wrist and pulling slightly hard. he is gone.

Harry was confused at all, but out of trust in Sirius, he gave Ron an apologetic look and followed.

Ron, who was left alone, hesitated. He thought about Sirius' words just now, vaguely feeling something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't find out what was wrong.

Watching Harry and Sirius disappear into the Quidditch Stadium, Ron gritted his teeth and immediately decided to discuss with Ivan and Hermione.

"Get out... give in!"

Ron rushed directly into the crowd, squeezing hard towards the podium.

Halfway through, I don't know who threw a few fireworks over. With a muffled sound, brilliant sparks splashed around, and the billowing smoke choked Ron even more.

"Damn it!"

Ron scolded secretly, but he had no time to investigate which **** had lost it, and continued to look for Ivan in the crowd.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and pressed it on his shoulder.

Ron was taken aback at once, and he turned his head hurriedly before discovering that it was George who had intercepted him.

"Little Ronnie, what are you doing in such a hurry? Don't you celebrate with us?" George looked at him with a grin, and stuffed a few fireworks into Ron's hand.

Fred also introduced. "This is our newly improved fireworks, you should have experienced it, how about it? Not bad, right?"

Hearing what they said, Ronner still knew that they were teasing him just now, and he was furious for a while.

"I don't have time to play with you..." Ron said angrily, stuffing the booming firework that George had handed back into their arms, and then anxiously continued to ask. "Right! Where's the Ivan?"

George and Fred looked at each other, not understanding why Ron was so angry, but seeing his seriousness, George pointed to the right.

"No! Over there!"

Ron looked in the direction George was pointing. There was a crowd of people crowded together, and Ivan could not be seen.

"What are you looking for Ivan for? Too many people are fascinated by him. The girls are begging to take pictures and autographs with him. We can't squeeze in. If you want to celebrate him, you'd better be late..." Reid said with comfort.

"I have a very important thing to look for him! Sirius took Harry away just now, and they are leaving Hogwarts, and they are not letting me follow. I think Sirius is a bit wrong today..." Ron is anxious Said,

"What's wrong with this? Maybe Sirius wanted to take Harry to Hogsmeade Village to buy him some gifts or something." George asked.

"Yeah, Harry won second place. I would be very happy if I were Sirius..." Fred also nodded.

"Don't you understand? Sirius didn't care how well Harry did today, so I said he had a problem!" Ron stared at the two angrily. "I suspect Sirius might have been under the Imperius Curse. , Just like Professor Moody!"

George and Fred looked at Ron in surprise. They had naturally heard of the Imperius Curse, and this year Moody even gave them a detailed explanation in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

But now Ron actually tells them that Moody and Sirius have been recruited. This is simply a big joke...

He noticed the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and Ron knew that his explanation was in vain, and he didn't bother to waste time with them anymore, and prepared to squeeze in to find Ivan on his own.

"Wait~www.mtlnovel.com~Little Ronnie, although I don't know if what you said is true, if you are anxious to see Ivan, we should be able to help you!" George suddenly shouted.

Ron turned his head in surprise, wondering how they should call Ivan out.

George and Fred laughed together, and then threw all the fireworks they were holding in the direction of Ivan.

In the next moment, dozens of bang fireworks exploded in the crowd one after another, crackling blasts continued to sound, and for a while, fireworks were everywhere on the court...

The dense crowd suddenly became confused, screaming and verbal abuse one after another, and the little wizards from the periphery who saw this scene glared at George and Fred.

Ron also looked at them angrily, not knowing whether the two were here to help or make trouble.

George and Fred gave him a peaceful look.

Sure enough, Ivan walked out of the crowd a few seconds later...

Ivan waved his magic wand to stop the riot caused by the booming fireworks, then looked at George and the others, and said helplessly.

"George and Fred, even if you want to celebrate for me, don't you need to make such a joke?"

"No, we have something important to ask you, so we can only use this method..." Fred shook his head.

George also added. "To be precise, Ronnie has something to do with you!"

Ivan turned his head unexpectedly, but Ron said eagerly before he could ask. "Ivan, Sirius... Sirius just took Harry away!"

Hearing this news, Ivan immediately realized that something might be wrong, and frowned. "What did he do with Harry? The reason..."

"Sirius said it was Professor Dumbledore's order, and the professor asked him to take Harry to the village for protection..." Ron replied breathlessly.

"It's impossible!" Ivan interrupted Ron's words, "Professor Dumbledore asked Harry to stay in school a few days ago to protect himself. If he changes his mind temporarily, Sirius should have notified me. ."

"Yes! I also think Sirius is weird today. When Harry met the snails in the maze, he didn't seem to worry at all, and when the game was over, he didn't even congratulate Harry for the first time. , He would be very happy if he changed to the usual one!"

Ron uttered all the doubts about Sirius, then hesitated, then guessed. "I think he might be under the Imperius Curse!"

"Then how long have they been away?" Hermione was very anxious. "Ivan, don't you have a live map? See where they are now?"

Ivan was very aware of the urgency of the matter, and immediately ignored the trivial matter of leaking the password. He pulled out an old baba parchment from his pocket and put his wand on it.

"I solemnly swear that I did nothing good!"

The delicate ink lines extend down the top of the magic wand and outline the picture of the entire castle.

Ivan's gaze swept across the entire map quickly, filtering through the names one after another, and his gaze quickly stopped in the hall.

According to the display of the live spot map, Harry had already walked out of the hall, but Ivan felt a little strange that Sirius' name was not seen next to him.

Just when he was surprised, Harry's name suddenly disappeared on the map after just a second.

"Harry has been taken away by him?" Ron, who also witnessed this scene, only felt a chill on his back.

"But how did Sirius do it? With the door key?" Hermione guessed.

"It's not the door key! If he could take Harry directly, he would have done it in the morning, why wait until now?" Ivan rejected Hermione's guess, and the entire Hogwarts Castle was equipped with special protective magic. , The only exception is the competition venue.

Therefore, Ivan thought that Sirius and Harry must still be in the castle now, and the disappearance of their names was probably because of some method used to temporarily block the exploration of the live spot map, just like Dumbledore did last time.

Hermione also thought of this very quickly, muttering to herself. "If it weren't the door key, then they must have wanted to go to Hogsmeade Village through the underpass under the beating willow, and then Apparition to bring Harry to Voldemort..."

Ivan nodded, this is very possible, but it is not 100% sure, because there is more than one secret road leading to Hogsmeade Village.

"Then what are we waiting for? Go find Harry, maybe you can stop them now!" Ron said hurriedly.

"No, Ron, it's enough for me to find Harry alone! I know Animagus, I can fly in the sky, and my vision is very wide. As long as they are still at Hogwarts, I will definitely find them... …" Ivan's expression was very serious.

Hermione and Ron stopped talking, but they didn't refute, they just asked. "What about us? What should we do now?"

"You have to go to Snape and Professor Flitwick. They are in the office now. There must be a way to contact Professor Dumbledore. All you have to do is to inform him as soon as possible!" Ivan said solemnly.

Hermione and Ron nodded together, and Ivan didn't say much, even if he wanted to use Bogut's transformation.

However, an explosion sounded from the maze at this moment, and the front was suddenly in chaos. Many little wizards ran towards this side in horror, crying and screaming everywhere on the court.

"Run, those monsters rushed out of the maze!"

"It's fried snails..."

"Mom...where are you mom?"

...

Ivan subconsciously looked down there, and suddenly saw an irregular gap in the hedge on the side of the maze, and several snails were spraying flames and rushing out from there.

The Aurors who were guarding nearby did not expect this sudden situation at all, and they launched a counterattack in a panic, and a series of spells hit the shell of the snails, but to no avail, they could barely hinder the actions of the snails. .

After a while, several giant spiders also ran out, breaking through the Aurors' defenses all at once.

"Trash!" Ivan yelled. There were five Aurors, even some rioting magical creatures could not be solved, and they rushed out...

For a while, Ivan was caught in a dilemma. If he helped in the past, he would definitely delay finding Harry, but if he left it alone, what would the students here do?

Do you rely on these Aurors?

Thinking about this, Ivan's heart became colder and colder. He knew that Voldemort had calculated it step by step, so that he could not have time to take care of...

After hesitating, a giant spider rushed over, and his sturdy forelimbs pointed at a startled little wizard of lower grades. Ivan didn't have time to think about it and drew out his wand to save people.

But someone was faster than him, and a crimson beam hit the ferocious giant spider directly, blasting it out.

"Mom? Are you planning to go home?" Ivan looked forward in surprise, and Aysia was squeezing from the chaotic crowd.

"I was planning to go back, I didn't expect something went wrong..." Aysia turned her head to respond, then looked to the side of the maze, and said again. "Don't you have something urgent to do? We will take care of it here... Go ahead!"

Although she hadn't heard the conversation between Ivan and Hermione and Ron before, the anxious color on Ivan's face couldn't be more obvious, and Aysia could naturally see it.

On the other side, Mrs. Weasley and Bill have worked together to solve a blasted snail and organized the little wizards of Hogwarts to a safe place.

After the five Aurors slowed down, they quickly used spells to repair the gap in the maze, ensuring that no more monsters would escape!

Seeing this, Ivan was somewhat relieved. After instructing Esiah to be safe, he immediately transformed into a huge giant eagle, flapping its wings and flying high...

"Animagus transforms? It's amazing! Few people can do this at his age." Mrs. Weasley said with emotion.

"Does that still need to be said? He is my son..." Aysia said proudly.

...

"Damn~www.mtlnovel.com~ Where are they? Aren't they leaving?" Ivan flapped his wings and flew over Hogwarts. A pair of eagle eyes quickly scanned everything below, but it was a pity Harry and Sirius were not found.

He seems to be a little late...

Ivan couldn't help being a little impatient. He didn't know the exact location of Voldemort, and he had never been to Riddle's House, so even if he wanted to rush to stop the ceremony, he couldn't do it.

"Go and see Hogsmeade first, what if they haven't left yet?" Ivan hugged luck and flew towards the beating willow outside the castle, planning to find clues in Hogsmeade village. .

Just as Ivan was approaching quickly, a **** dog suddenly emerged from the secret path under the beating willow...

"Sirius!" Ivan recognized it at a glance.

Although it is a bit strange why Harry is not around, and why Sirius is in the form of this Animagus, but Ivan has no time to think about it, and quickly catches up...
