time at hogwarts

After a busy afternoon, the twins finally met their Hogwarts needs before dinner.

"Oh my god, it's finally over. For the first time, I have the urge not to make props." George lay directly on the ground, staring at the ceiling blankly, and his two hands twitched like chicken feet.

"This time is a lesson. We must do more to prevent this from happening again next year." Fred's current appearance is no better than George's.

Hogwarts, which should have started to quiet down after dinner, was different from before. The closer it got to eight o'clock, the more students were in the corridor. Everyone was discussing this unprecedented game, and they were filled with novelty and curiosity. All over their bodies, they pinned the purchased copper badges on their sleeves, collars or chests.

"It's not time yet, and no one told us where the competition is. Didn't we say that we can go there with this badge?" As the time approached, the students who couldn't find the entrance began to get impatient, and they asked everywhere. No one knows where the two parties are held.

"We must have been deceived." A third-year wizard from Ravenclaw said subconsciously.

But when the other little wizards were about to agree with his words, they noticed that other people's badges began to flash a slight red light, and then quickly looked at their own, the same thing happened.

"What does it mean?"

"Why did it suddenly light up?"

"Is this telling us where the competition is?" More and more students noticed this, and they asked again, but there was still no result.

However, there are still some smart people, and word slowly spread among the four academies that as long as they are close to the competition venue, there may be other movements on the badges.

Hogwarts is very big, but when most students started to disperse and search, they quickly discovered the location of the competition. The door to the secret room had been completely opened by Magos.As they approach the chamber, their badge will show an image of the Ace of Hearts, and when they stand at the door, the color will turn completely red.

"Found it, here." As a little wizard shouted, one person passed it to another, and finally everyone knew the location of the competition.When they walked in curiously, they were surprised to find that it was really big. They had never known that there was such a big 'classroom' in Hogwarts.

"Secret room?! And...the traceless stretching spell." The senior students quickly guessed the true origin of this room, and at the same time felt the magic in the room.

"What a generous move." They all sighed.For students at Hogwarts, finding and owning a secret room during school is a symbol of achievement, not to mention having so many Seamless Stretch Charms installed in it, which are relatively advanced charms.

Then they saw the 18 tables arranged in the outer circle and the three chairs next to them.Then the inside became 12, 8, 3, and the middle one.They quickly understood the meaning of these tables and chairs. The last one should be the table for the championship, but they also quickly felt strange about the number of these tables. From 18 to 12, one table should eliminate one person. 12 The same meaning goes to 8, but they don't understand it from 8 to 3. If one person is eliminated, 3 tables are not enough, and if only one person wins, 3 tables are not enough.

However, their doubts were soon answered by someone. After the time reached eight o'clock, Kang Anat, the referee elected by Magos and the others, walked to the middle and used a magic spell to amplify the sound and began to let everyone People are quiet.

"Tonight is the first game of the Card King Tournament. Some of the rules may not be perfect yet, but we still hope that everyone will like this under-school activity we organized." He stopped and looked at the wizards around him and smiled. .The wizards around also said loudly that they liked it one after another.

"I know many of you are wondering why it went from 8 tables to 3. Just like many people think, only one person can win when there are 8 tables."

"But three tables wouldn't be enough people, and if there were four people, we wouldn't be able to use three tables." As soon as Kang finished speaking, a more experienced poker player spoke up.His words made everyone around him nod.

"This is another interesting link we have set up." He whetted the appetites of the wizards and then said, "We choose the missing person in another way." As he said that, he took out a big box.

"There are three hundred notes in it, and one of them has an Ace of Hearts drawn on it. The friend who gets this note can directly participate in the semi-finals after paying 10 silver coins to get a silver badge."

Kang's words made the surrounding wizards who had no chance to participate in the Card King Competition eagerly look at the box in Kang's hand, wishing they could draw one now and take a look. Especially the seventh-grade seniors who did not get the magic card, their eyes were wide open. .

"Okay, this lottery will start after the winner is determined at the 8 tables. Now I announce that the first card king competition has officially begun. Students holding magic cards are asked to sit on the outermost table. No, please Students with magic cards should not try to sit on it, it is enchanted, and if you try to sit on it without the magic cards from now on, it will be bounced away."

Every table was filled with people before Kang spoke, and then those people felt the feeling of their butts being kicked.

&n

bsp; Magos was not in a hurry to sit down. He walked around first, but he didn't find the person who 'stole' one of his magic cards. However, there were many people here, so it didn't matter since he couldn't be found. , he knew that it would be easy to hide it from him with that person's ability.

He casually sat down at an empty table near him. The two opponents looked like they were both seventh-grade seniors, and they were looking at each other solemnly.

After Kang felt from the card box that everyone was seated, he spoke loudly again.

Then all the 54 students participating in the competition stood up with solemn expressions on their faces. The wizards around them also stopped talking and stood quietly next to 18 tables.

"In the name of the king of cards, I swear that I will never cheat, and I will lose every time I bet!" They each said the changed spell.

As soon as the spell fell, their respective magic cards floated out and got into a unique deck of playing cards in the middle of the table, and then the playing cards were automatically shuffled irregularly.

Magos looked at the cards in his hand. They were not surprisingly good, nor were they so bad that he would lose. If he wanted to win, it would depend on the cooperation of the other 'Muggle' and the cards in the hand of the 'wizard'.Being a 'Wizard' in this competition depends on luck. The designated cards on each table are different. Of course, if you don't want to be a 'Wizard', you can give up. If the other two are not willing, the cards will be reshuffled and the second time will be forced. Someone becomes a 'wizard'.There are three competitions in total, and everyone will be a 'wizard' once.The person who loses the most is eliminated, and there is only one chance in the final. If the wizard wins, the wizard is the champion. If the Muggle wins, there will be one extra round, and the winning Muggle becomes the wizard, until the wizard wins.

"A 4." The wizard played a single card.

"A six," said the Muggle.

Magos looked at his cards, which could form three straights, and it was difficult to split them, "No."

"A king," the wizard shouted.

Muggle hesitated. He didn't know whether to press with a big card or throw an ace first. He looked at Magos first, but due to the effect of the magic card, he couldn't see his face clearly.

"A." He decided to wait.

"2." McGoss didn't hesitate. His cards were all straights. If he didn't play first and his opponent didn't get a straight, he would definitely lose.

just.

"Four 3's." The wizard exploded directly.

"No."

"No." Magos was speechless. He had a premonition that he would be eliminated in the first round.

The wizard smiled excitedly knowing that the other two people could not see his face.

As expected, Magos had no chance to play, and the wizard won.

In the second round, Magos was a wizard, but he was unlucky. As a wizard, he only had a 2, and he didn't even get a bomb. He lost without any twists and turns. But fortunately, the wizard lost in the last round, and he ended up losing. He has one more card left in his hand than Magos.So Magos was lucky enough to advance, but he didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about. From this competition, he could feel that his level as an event promoter was no longer as high as these seniors.

In the 12th to 8th round, McGoss was directly eliminated with 3 losses. He had known this result and calmly became one of the spectators.

"I thought you wouldn't give in." A senior student stood next to him and said with a smile.

Magos looked at the unfamiliar face of the other party and wondered why he wanted to talk to him, but he had no choice but to give him face.

"The level is not good enough, so losing is normal."

"I don't care even if you are the initiator of the event. I thought you would feel uncomfortable." The voice in his ear made Magos stunned. How did he know that he initiated this event, and the students around him It seems that he didn't hear what he just said, and he was still watching the game attentively.

"You are?" Magos looked at him doubtfully, and he was sure that he had never seen this face before.

"I'm Quirrell." His voice was still only heard by him.

Magos showed a look of realization.

"Potion potion?"

"Smart. In fact, I'm not the only one here. If I guessed correctly, other professors are also watching the fun."

Just as Quirrell was talking to him, the results of 12 and 8 came out, and most of the wizards looked at Kang standing in the middle with eager eyes.

Kang smiled, "Because there were too many people, I temporarily added some notes, so don't worry, most people can get a note, please come and draw in order. In addition, students who have been eliminated can You can't smoke anymore, you have to give other students a chance."

Quirrell also went over and drew one, but missed.Harry and the others gathered around, muttering piously to themselves and then opened the note, but judging from the depressed expressions on their faces, it seemed that they had missed the mark.

"I, I'm hit." A loud roar appeared in the crowd.

Everyone's eyes were attracted to him, and Magos followed the crowd and stretched his neck to see who was so lucky.
