Chapter 663 You Thanked the Wrong Person, Miss Delacour!
Bagman, who was standing in front of the stage, stared at the crystal ball on the right, and shouted loudly the moment Ivan crossed the water.
"The first one to come up is Ivan Hals, the champion of Hogwarts! Let us cheer for him!"
Following Bagman's shout, thunderous applause suddenly erupted from all around the stands. Everyone stood up and shouted Ivan's name in unison. The atmosphere on the field was extremely heated.
Under the gaze of everyone, a few ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, and then the water flow was lifted up as if affected by some force. Ivan took the opportunity to swing the double "wings" made of his robe, and jumped out of the water with all his strength. Landed on the lake shore.
"Oh, let's see. Our warrior doesn't seem to have brought his hostage. What he is holding in his arms is Miss Fleur, the warrior of Beauxbatons! God, this is really amazing!" Germann shouted loudly.
Ivan glared at Bagman fiercely, then handed Fleur in his arms to Madam Pomfrey who was waiting on the side, then went to the lake to pull up Gabrielle, and finally Hermione...
Naturally, this order was chosen because Fleur had been unconscious and Gabrielle was too young. He couldn't bring Hermione up first and leave the two Veela sisters below, right?
"Ivan, is it really okay for us to leave Harry and Krum alone?" After landing, Hermione looked at the Black Lake and asked with some worry.
"Don't worry, they will swim up!" Ivan comforted him, and then pointed to the crystal ball floating in the sky. "No, see for yourself!"
Hermione raised her head curiously and saw five huge crystal balls floating in the sky above the Black Lake, faithfully recording everything that happened at the bottom of the lake. The current situation of Harry, Ginny and Krum could be seen. Clearly.
But at this time, Hermione was no longer in the mood to care about other people's affairs. All she could think about was the scene where she kissed Ivan at the bottom of the lake. She turned her face away very stiffly and stammered.
"So, everyone can see what we're doing all the time?"
"Ah, is that right?" Ivan scratched his head and said with a guilty conscience.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Hermione's face was as red as fire, and she hit Ivan on the chest angrily.
When she thought that the whole school would see her kissing Ivan, Hermione was so ashamed that she wished she could drown in the black lake!
"I didn't expect you to kiss me suddenly." Ivan spread his hands helplessly. You can't blame him for this, right?
Hermione glared at Ivan angrily, her eyes as sharp as a knife, but she was helpless.
While the two were chatting, there was movement on the calm lake again. Not far from the shore, two heads suddenly popped up from the bottom of the lake.
Harry breathed in the outside air. After staying underwater for so long, the duration of the gillweed had long expired, and his water quality was shockingly bad. It was really not easy to swim all the way back!
Fortunately, Ginny on the side could also swim, and the two of them supported each other and swam to the shore, and were finally pulled up by Ivan and Hermione.
Even worse than them was Krum, who was forcefully carried ashore by his own hostages!
When he saw this scene, Karkaroff in the judges' seat almost fainted from anger on the spot.
"Gabriel...Gabriel!" Fleur, who was being taken care of by Madam Pomfrey, also woke up at this moment. She looked around the whole place in a panic, not even noticing that the blanket she was wrapped in fell to the ground.
It wasn't until she saw her sister standing well on the lakeshore that Fleur's tense mood relaxed a little, and she excitedly stepped forward and hugged her.
"Great, you're okay, that's great! I thought...I thought..."
Fleur hugged Gabrielle tightly, losing control of her emotions and kept shouting. However, Gabrielle, who was only eight or nine years old this year, acted like a sister, gently comforting Fleur and calming her emotions.
Seeing the scene of the sisters' deep love, Ivan was also filled with emotion.
Except for himself, I am afraid that the other warriors took the words in the golden egg seriously, mistakenly believing that the person they cherished most would be buried deep in the lake after the time limit.
Of course, this does not mean that the selected warriors have low IQs, but that the organizers have grasped their psychology correctly and suddenly broke the news on the field, without giving everyone time to think about it. A warrior dares to bet on the people he cares about most.
Ivan thought that if he didn't know the plot and suddenly heard that these people threw Hermione into the black lake and were only willing to give him an hour to rescue, he would probably be panicked.
After being warm to Gabrielle for a while, Fleur set her sights on Ivan, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Hals!" Fleur enthusiastically stepped forward and hugged Ivan, saying with great gratitude.
Although Ivan led her to a group of mermaids when they were at the bottom of the lake, Fleur didn't hold a grudge against it.
After all, they were rivals at that time, so Ivan was showing mercy if he didn't attack her directly.
It is precisely because of this that Ivan was able to accept his request when he was about to finish the game and turned around to save Gabrielle, which moved Fleur deeply.
However, Ivan didn't appreciate it at all, because he deeply felt the chill behind him, and hurriedly broke away from Furong's embrace, not giving her a chance to kiss him, and then shook his head and said indifferently.
"No, you thanked the wrong person, Miss Delacour!"
Furong looked at Ivan at a loss, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Hermione suggested that I rescue you. Why don't you thank her?" Ivan pointed at Hermione standing aside and explained.
Hermione didn't expect that Ivan would give himself the credit for saving Fleur and Gabrielle. She waved her hands and was about to say something, but Fleur had already hugged her enthusiastically, followed by a lot of words of thanks. , making Hermione feel a little embarrassed.
"Why did you lie to your sister?" Gabrielle looked at Ivan curiously. She was woken up by Ivan when she was at the bottom of the lake, so she naturally knew more.
Ivan squatted down, stared at the little girl, and said half-jokingly. "I didn't lie to her. If Hermione hadn't insisted on me saving you, I might have chosen to leave you in the black lake to keep company with those ugly mermaids!"
Gabrielle smiled. She didn't believe Ivan's words at all. She followed Fleur's example and gave Ivan a hug and kissed the side of Ivan's face.
"My sister owes you this!" Gabrielle said with a smile.
Ivan helplessly reached out and knocked Gabriel's little head, and looked at Hermione subconsciously. Seeing that Hermione's face was as normal, he knew that she was not jealous of an eight-year-old girl. He breathed a sigh of relief.
