Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 175: Trust

Something went wrong!

The day after the second game, Cowan gets a message from a worried Professor McGonagall.

Mr. Barty Crouch, director of the "International Magical Cooperation Division" as the referee, was found in the Forbidden Forest.

Judging from the complete body of Director Crouch, it is clear that someone has used the 'Death Curse' on him.

The incident did not spread, and only a few people knew about it.

Because neither the Ministry nor the Academy want to cause panic among the students.

In the end, I can only lie that Director Crouch is unable to participate in the refereeing work of the third game because of other job reasons...

That night, Cowen found Harry in the 'common room'.

After nodding to the students around Harry, Cowan greeted: "Harry, do you have time?"

"Of course!"

Harry has already learned from others after the game about the time of Kewen's water in the second game. He is not stupid, and he has already made some guesses after combining with the situation in the water at that time.

Therefore, after hearing Kewen's greeting, he couldn't help feeling a little excited, and his eyes showed a grateful look.

Seeing this, Kewen smiled slightly: "Can you go out with me?"

"Kewen, do you have anything to do with Harry?" As a member of the inseparable trio, Ron asked curiously beside him: "Or if you need help with anything, I can help too. .”

"It's not a big deal." Cowan smiled and said perfunctorily: "Just something about the next game."

"Oh, so that's the case." Ron lost interest when he heard the words, after all, he didn't participate in the competition, so there was nothing in common.

Seeing this, Harry took over the topic, got up and said, "I have time, Chief of Science, where shall we talk?"

"Go to my dormitory, there's no one there." Corvin responded, then nodded again to Ron and Hermione, turned and walked towards the stairs.

Harry quickly followed.

Not long after entering the bedroom, Cowen greeted Harry to take a seat on the sofa.

Before Kewen could speak, Harry took the lead and said gratefully: "Senior! You were in the lake that day, you were always helping me!?"

"Oh?" Kewen was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Harry to mention this, so he smiled and said, "You know?"

"Yeah!" Harry nodded very quickly, took a deep breath and said, "I figured it all out after that!"

"At that time, when faced with the obstruction of the mermaid, when faced with those 'Grindillos', and also! When I was about to suffocate in a coma!"

Harry counted them one by one, and then said gratefully: "Those times! It was the senior who was quietly protecting me!? Thank you! Otherwise...otherwise I don't know..."

"Okay, I received your thanks." Kewen smiled and waved his hand to interrupt: "But you should also thank Mr. Principal, who asked me to take care of you during the game."

"No matter what, in short, thank you, senior, for your protection!"

Having finished speaking, Harry bowed slightly to Cowen in a somewhat hasty motion.

Kewen accepted the other party's attitude with peace of mind, and when Harry stood up again, he said: "There is no need to talk about this, I came to you to ask you something."

"Speak, please." Harry seemed ready to answer any questions and listened intently.

Very pleased with the other party's performance at this time, Kewen pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked, "You found out about Mr. Crouch, right?"

"This..."

Harry was stunned for a moment, suddenly hesitant, wondering if he should tell Cowen.

Because he went to Dumbledore afterwards, he was told not to tell about Chief Crouch.

Seeing Harry's entanglement, Cowen simply stopped asking, but changed the subject and said: "If you are embarrassed, you don't have to think about it, this matter has nothing to do with me, by the way, 'Live Is the map' still with you?"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the topic had changed, and then quickly replied: "Yes! It was well kept in the bookcase by me."

"Can you borrow it from me?" Kewen said, "I may have to wait until the end of the semester."

"Of course!" Harry nodded heavily: "The map was originally given to me by you, senior, and I haven't used it much. If you want to use it, just take it back."

"That's not necessary." Kewen smiled and shook his head slightly: "I will graduate this year, and I won't use it in the future, so you can keep it after I use it up."

Harry thought about it too, then nodded and agreed, then got up, and said at the same time: "Then I'll go back to the bedroom now and get it for you."

"Wait." Corwin raised his hand and held Harry's arm back on the sofa.

After sitting down, Harry asked curiously, "Is there anything else, senior?"

"That's it..." Kewen hesitated for a moment, then looked straight into Harry's eyes and said in a serious tone, "Harry, can you please believe me?"

"Why do you say that?" Harry was puzzled, but nodded again, "Of course, I mean, of course I trust you, Senior."

"Thank you." Cowen smiled and continued solemnly: "Then Harry, listen carefully!"

Seeing Kewen's serious demeanor, Harry couldn't help but concentrate.

"A few months later, or to be more precise, in the third game." Kewen said solemnly: "I may make some actions that make you misunderstood. At that time, I need your complete trust in me! Is that okay?"

"This..." Harry was confused by Cowen's words and couldn't turn his head around for a while.

Seeing this, Kewen said again: "Do you trust me?"

Harry nodded subconsciously.

Kewen raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder: "Don't think too much now, you can ask Headmaster Dumbledore later, just remember this conversation between us now."

"Good, good senior."

Harry, like a marionette, can only nod his head first.

"Okay." Kewen smiled and leaned back on the sofa: "That's all I have to say to you."

Harry was a little confused, then got up again, left the dormitory in a daze, and went back to his dormitory to get Kewen's Marauder's Map.

A short time later Harry brought the map over.

After Harry said goodbye and left, Kewen sat on the sofa with a deep expression and opened the Marauder Map on his lap.

After looking around, he looked at the names on the map and began to think.

……

……

The third game and the second game will have a long gap, and it will not be officially played until four months later.

During these four months, Cowen became aloof and isolated.

He rarely moves around in the castle, he is often invisible, and spends most of his time in the 'House of Requirement'.

Occasionally take a day off from the academy and even meet Sirius Black once.

Faced with inquiries from classmates and friends, he just perfunctory and did not give an accurate response.

This continued until June 24, when the third game began.

As usual, after the breakfast time, the teachers and students of the whole academy began to walk in the direction of the competition venue.

After living together in the castle for nearly a year, the students of 'Durmstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' and 'Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' have become less arrogant and alienated.

Nowadays, they have been able to mingle with many of the 'Hogwarts' students.

Talk and laugh at each other along the way.

On the contrary, it is Cowen. Because of his isolated life for nearly four months, he is now only accompanied by Penello and Spilett.

We chatted all the way and arrived at the competition venue.

The third game will be played in a very huge labyrinth. The labyrinth composed of 'high plant walls' alone took many wizards nearly three months to set up.

There are many magical traps in the maze, and there are a lot of aggressive magical plants and magical creatures.

The final game will be used to test the individual strength of the warriors.

In the open space in front of the four entrances of the labyrinth, Dumbledore, as the host, has already begun to take place, ready to give a speech.

The four warriors, including Kewen, stood side by side, accepting the cheers and encouragement from the surrounding audience.

Dumbledore took out his pocket watch and checked the time, before Dumbledore used the 'Amplification Charm' to silence the band's music, as well as the noise in the auditorium.

"Welcome!" Dumbledore exclaimed with a smile, "Welcome everyone to come and witness the third game of the Triwizard Tournament!"

"This morning, Professor Moody sent the trophy into the maze. Among the four warriors, whoever touches the trophy first will be the final winner of this 'Triwizard Tournament'. Champion!"

"But what I want to say is that since Mr. Cowen Quinn was the first in total points in the previous game, he will get the privilege of entering the maze first, and the other warriors will be based on the previous two games. The total score of the game will enter the maze one after another."

Amid the applause ~IndoMTL.com~ Dumbledore paused for a moment, and when the applause and cheers gradually subsided, he explained the safety aspects of the game.

Afterwards, Dumbledore called Kewen and the others together, and whispered some words such as 'be careful'.

After speaking, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Cowan.

Nodding slightly, Kewen responded with a 'reassuring' look to the other party.

Seeing this, Dumbledore looked relieved and trusting.

"Alright, warriors." Dumbledore greeted: "Go to your respective labyrinth entrance and wait for the signal to announce the start of the game."

The four of Kewen did the same, spread out, and each chose a labyrinth entrance and stood in a good position.

After standing still, Cowen turned to look at Harry.

At this point, Professor Moody was whispering something next to Harry.

Kewen stared at each other's back, squinting slightly, and subconsciously touched the pocket with his right hand...
