Chapter 656 The Second Game

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon the day of the second game came, and the castle gradually became lively.

As warriors, Ivan and Harry got up early early on a rare day off and went to the auditorium to have breakfast together.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Harry had no appetite at all, so he just ate a little to cope with it. He kept holding the bottle of gillweed tightly in his hand, for fear of forgetting it during the competition.

Ivan, who was eating leisurely, naturally noticed Harry's strange behavior and comforted him. "Relax, Harry, haven't you practiced many times in the past few days?"

Harry nodded absently. Although he swam in the Black Lake a few times these days and overcame the problem of not being able to swim, it was almost the same as the final exam every year. No matter how much you review before the exam, you will soon enter the exam room. Sometimes I can't help but feel weak on my feet.

"What do you think they want you to spend so long looking for in the bottom of the lake?" Ron on the side curiously guessed the events of this competition.

"The lyrics talk about our most beloved things..." Harry hesitated for a moment, thought about it in his mind, and then said uncertainly. "I think those mermaids might have secretly thrown the Firebolt into the lake while I was away!"

It was his most valuable thing, but Harry had no idea whether the Firebolt was waterproof. He just hoped that it would still be useful when he picked it up...

Ron nodded in agreement, thinking it was very possible.

"By the way, where's Hermione? Isn't she up yet?" Harry looked around and didn't see his other good friend. He was a little surprised. Normally Hermione should have gotten up earlier than all of them. That's right.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since last night... It seems that Professor McGonagall has something to ask her for." Ron shook his head and said.

Ivan paused while eating his meal, not surprised. He had already guessed that Hermione would be placed in the Black Lake as a hostage. She was probably taken away by Professor McGonagall last night and prohibited from contact with him.

But what surprised Ivan was that Ron actually sat down in the auditorium to eat. It seemed that the people Harry needed to rescue during the game had changed compared to the original time and space.

Thinking of this, Ivan glanced around the auditorium, and sure enough, he did not find Ginny's figure, which further confirmed his guess.

The previous Christmas Ball was largely prepared to select the person the warriors cared about most. Cedric and Krum in the original time and space are the best evidence.

But at that time, neither Harry nor Fleur showed much interest in their temporary dance partners, so the organizers had no choice but to make another choice.

After breakfast, considering that the official start time of the game was getting closer and closer, Ivan took Harry and Ron straight to the competition venue without any further delay.

All the way to the lake in the Forbidden Forest, Ivan saw a huge observation tower erected in a semi-circular shape on the lakeshore from a distance.

Many students came earlier than them, and the rows of seats were already crowded. Ron encouraged the two of them and ran over quickly, hoping to find someone to watch the game. Good location.

Ivan and Harry walked towards the entrance of the arena. Ludo Bagman, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up to them with a smile on his face and a very enthusiastic expression. "Ivan, Potter, you are here just in time. Come over quickly. The game will start soon. You will have to go to the lake together later!"

Ivan exchanged some polite words with him, and then walked to the center of the arena under Bagman's guidance - it had been transformed into a small pier, with a long wooden board extending from the lake shore into the black lake. .

At the end, Fleur and Krum's figures were clearly visible. They were obviously well prepared. They were all wearing swimsuits. Fleur's hot figure attracted the attention of the wizards in the audience.

Seeing this posture, Harry quickly took off his outer robe and threw it under a nearby tree, revealing a waterproof short-sleeved T-shirt and tight pants underneath.

"Ivan, aren't you taking off your clothes?" Harry turned his head strangely and looked at Ivan who had not moved at all - he was still wearing the black wizard robe. Such an outfit would definitely be inconvenient underwater.

"No need..." Ivan shook his head and didn't explain much.

Harry couldn't figure out Ivan's thoughts, but he also understood that the other party definitely didn't need to worry about him, so he didn't ask any more questions and stood on the track attentively, taking out the bottle containing the gillweed.

Ivan now cast his gaze on the judges' table.

At this time, Bagman, who was the referee and commentator, had already stood in front of the stage. After clearing his throat and reading out various precautions for the second game, his expression became more serious and he looked at Ivan on the field. Waiting for someone, he looked around at the audience and shouted loudly.

"Last night, we took away the warriors' most cherished treasures and placed them in the center of the Black Lake this morning. Their mission is to find and bring the treasures back within the specified time!"

"I need to remind the warriors that your time is very tight, you only have one hour! Once the time limit is exceeded, the consequences will be very serious, and you may lose that treasure forever!"

Bagman's voice, which was blessed with a sonorous curse, kept echoing by the lakeside. The little wizards in the audience were very curious about what this treasure meant, and they started discussing it intensely.

As warriors, Fleur, Klum and Harry were also guessing. Although they had cracked the secret of the golden egg, they were still confused about what they were looking for in this mission.

Bagman had no intention of showing off. He turned to look at Dumbledore and continued to speak. "As for the treasure we took away... Principal Dumbledore will reveal it to us!"

Under the attention of everyone, Dumbledore stood up with a serious face, waved his wand with his left hand, and five fist-sized crystal balls rose from the black lake.

Harry, Fleur, and Krum were a little confused when they looked at the crystal balls. Could it be that their mission this time was to find these balls?

Only Ivan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, because these crystal balls were made by him and rented to Bagman. As for their functions...

Dumbledore at the judges' table waved his wand again, and the crystal balls expanded rapidly. Each one was about ten meters in size, and they floated quietly in the air.

Only then did everyone see clearly that some pictures were emerging on the surface of the crystal ball.

Especially the crystal ball in the middle reflects the scene at the bottom of the lake - it looks like a large mermaid village, surrounded by many stone dwellings. From time to time, you can see some ferocious-looking fish with steel forks. People swim across the screen.

In the center of the picture stands a mermaid statue carved from a huge stone. On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, four people are firmly tied...
