Chapter 654 Information About the Second Game

Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Hermione a little strangely.

Hermione tilted her head, not daring to continue the conversation on this topic, but quickly asked about the business. "Have you found any clues to the second game? Ivan? Harry? We'd better figure it out in the next two days. If it's as dangerous as the fire dragon, you may need a few more days to prepare..."

Ivan didn't answer, but Harry took out his golden egg.

"Mr. Bagman said before that this golden egg can be opened, and the clues are inside. I haven't tried it before..." Harry said while distracted, digging into a circle on the golden egg with his nails. In the groove, the golden egg was easily opened.

Ivan didn't expect Harry to be so reckless and couldn't stop him at all.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying, high-pitched scream resounded in the common room.

Harry and Hermione, who were closest, covered their ears in pain. Everyone else in the lounge also heard the noise and turned their heads to look over.

"Quietus~ (Silent)" Ivan waved his wand immediately, and the piercing screams quickly subsided.

Harry took the opportunity to grab the golden egg and closed it with force.

The little wizards in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief. Ron on the side rubbed his ears and muttered. "What exactly is this? The cry of a banshee? What kind of clue is this? Is it possible that in the second level you need to subdue a banshee?"

Harry nodded. He felt that Ron's guess was very likely. They had already dealt with a fire dragon, and he wouldn't be surprised if another banshee came.

However, Hermione had different ideas and objected. "This can't be a banshee, they don't sound like that."

"Hermione, how can you be so sure? Have you ever heard the cry of a banshee?" Harry asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten? We obviously learned this in second grade!" Hermione squinted and looked at Harry with a surprised look.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, have you ever learned anything? Why don't they remember?

Ivan quickly thought of it and echoed. "You're talking about Lockhart's "Breaking with the Ghost," right? I've seen it too, and it's described in great detail... The cries of the dead banshee are sharp and desolate, and usually make the listener feel very... of sadness.”

"Yes! This is different from what I heard just now. It was obviously not crying, and we didn't feel sad." Hermione spoke eloquently, and then continued with some uncertainty. "On the contrary, it's like singing..."

Harry rolled his eyes, feeling that Hermione's guess was really unreliable. How could any creature sing so unpleasantly?

Ron also curled his lips. Isn't Lockhart a liar? Who knows if Lockhart wrote it blindly... So he and Harry continued to discuss it.

After what happened yesterday, their relationship returned to normal, and no one took the initiative to bring up the previous conflict.

Hermione firmly believed in her idea, pulled out an "Illustrated Book of Magical Creatures" from the stack of books in front of her, and began to search for clues related to the sound.

Ivan pretended to pick up a book and read it, but his thoughts drifted to another place.

He already knew the specific content of the second game, and he also confirmed it by placing the golden egg into the water. It was indeed the same as in the original time and space, rescuing hostages at the bottom of the lake.

The reason why I don't say it now is because I hope to use this matter as bait to see if I can fish out the hidden Barty Crouch Jr.

But even if he knew the content of the game in advance, Ivan couldn't take time off these days because he had too many things to do!

In addition to practicing Legilimency with Hermione every afternoon, he also had to take time to deal with the fish people in the Black Lake in order to prepare for the second game.

He couldn't rest during his free time at night. He needed to use the Marauder's Map to monitor the entire school to see if Barty Crouch Jr. would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

There is also the most important and arduous task, which is to brew the blood fusion potion!

After these days of fermentation, he was about to complete the system mission [Fanatic Fans] he received last time. He expected that after gaining another wave of reputation in the second mission, he would be able to get those two precious legendary points, and start The next round of bloodline fusion.

The corresponding potions naturally have to be made in advance.

The only thing that made Ivan relieved was that Luna stated in her reply to him yesterday that she had accepted his suggestion and had been staying away from the Forbidden Forest as much as possible recently. The time to go find the Crescent-Horned Snorlax together was postponed until after the second game. , probably because the game is approaching and I don’t want to disturb myself at this time.

This allows Ivan to focus all his energy on some more pressing matters...

After rummaging through information all morning, Harry and Hermione were both a little annoyed that they could not decipher the information contained in the cry. Ivan had anticipated this, and casually said a few words of comfort, and then talked to everyone Let's go to the auditorium to enjoy today's lunch.

In the afternoon, Ivan practiced Legilimency with Hermione as usual.

Unlike Luna's obedience, although Hermione no longer refused to let him check her memories, every time she saw the scene of them getting along in her memory, Hermione always resisted fiercely.

She continued to use her beginner's occlumency to resist Ivan's invasion, or perhaps created a specious false memory to try to confuse Ivan.

The two of them were like playing a game in a maze of thoughts. Hermione tried desperately to hide her true thoughts, while Ivan quickly broke through the layers of defense set up by the little witch like a big devil. Hermione failed and ended up blushing for a while with her heart beating.

Ivan was also satisfied to see that his almost stagnant Legilimency proficiency began to grow rapidly again.

In the next few days, Ivan stayed in a monotonous cycle, practicing magic during the day, brewing potions at night, or using Boggart to transform into different forms, sneaking into the bottom of the lake to chat with the mermaids, and gathering information along the way.

After a few days of understanding, Ivan discovered that although the mermaid looks ugly, it is also an intelligent creature with its own language and living habits. It likes to collect some wizard creations to decorate its lair.

However, they live at the bottom of the lake all year round and do not have a deep understanding of the wizard's cunning, so Ivan quickly deduced a lot of information.

Dumbledore had already talked to them at the beginning of the term and obtained their permission to use the bottom of the lake as the venue for the second game.

Before the game begins, the people the warriors care about most will be placed at the bottom of the lake to wait for rescue. The task of these mermaids is not to make the game more difficult, but to try to protect the safety of the hostages to avoid unnecessary accidents.
