Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 238 Lively Party

  As soon as Eddie stepped into the auditorium from the foyer, he was immediately attracted by the crowd around the long table. Driven by curiosity, he walked there, wanting to see what everyone was doing there.

   "What are you doing here?" Eddie whispered to Senior Ravenclaw beside him.

   "Participate in the gathering of the wizarding card club." The senior Ravenclaw senior deliberately lowered his voice: "I heard that the champion of the first wizarding card tournament this year has ten Galleons."

   "Wizard card, what is that?" Eddie had never heard of a wizard card, so he stepped on the chair and stretched his neck to look into the crowd. It's a pity that there are too many people watching, and it is impossible to see what the few people inside are doing.

  The Wizard Card Club at the end of the month undoubtedly attracts everyone's attention. There is no way, anyone who sees a bunch of people getting together and doesn't know what they are doing will always be aroused curiosity.

   "It's more lively than the previous two times!" Fred couldn't help but sigh with emotion. George, who was opposite him, was introducing the new content of the wizard card to everyone.

  As more and more members join the club, more people hope to have their own cards, and more and more new cards are added.

   "Quiet, it's time for questions!" Albert raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then picked a random person and asked, "What's your question?"

   "When will the original cards be completely updated!" The Ravenclaw girl couldn't help asking, "I mean change to this."

The cards in her hand are the wizard cards she just got, and they are quite exquisite. For students who have already liked this casual game, they hope to have a set of refined and complete wizard cards instead of using those rough ones. homemade cards.

"This...I'm afraid we will have to wait another year or two until the technology for making wizard cards is fully mature before we can produce even better cards." Albert thought for a while and comforted him, "Don't worry, everyone, the wizard cards are here. This card game has just started, we are already improving, you should be able to feel that the cards you use now are much better than a few months ago, aren't you?"

   "After waiting for the wizard card to come out, how can we get new cards?" Someone asked expectantly, "Is it provided by the club for free?"

"We will sell initial cards and card packs, or give them away in other ways. The situation is similar to chocolate frog cards. You can get them by collecting them." Albert comforted again: "I don't think you need to worry now, Because of that situation, it will take at least a few years. There are still many things that need to be improved by everyone in the current wizard card. We will also add more card elements, such as some magical creatures, magic items, and famous wizard cards. historical events, various faction exclusive cards.”

   "In the future, the faction of the wizard card will not be limited to the Hogwarts college, it will involve the entire British wizarding world. Of course, this is something that may happen in the future, and it is meaningless to talk about it now."

   "What about the price?" someone asked.

   "It won't be expensive, but we will create some gold cards with particularly fine workmanship. There will be a limit to the number of these precious cards. Whether you can get them depends on your luck."

   "You, um, it's you." Albert raised his hand again to pick out the freckled boy who raised his hand.

   "I heard that the champion of the wizard card game has ten galleons." The boy swallowed, a little afraid of the eyes of other people around him.

"Yes, the reward for the champion is ten Galleons or a bottle of potion worth ten Galleons." Albert said and looked beside him, George took out a bottle of green potion from his pocket and put it on the table superior.

   "Ten Galleons, just this potion?" Many people were curious about what the potion in the glass bottle was, and it was worth ten Galleons.

"This is Buffy's brain refresher. Some of you may have heard of it. Drinking it can keep people's mind active for a few hours." Albert raised the bottle so that everyone could see it more clearly. He continued: "Of course, you can rest assured that I have used it myself, and it is definitely not some messy potion. By the way, the use of Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion is prohibited during the exam, otherwise it will be considered cheating."

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can choose ten galleons." George put a money bag on the table, and opened it in public, revealing the galleons inside. "The choice of the champion is very flexible. Of course, the quota for this time There are only 32 entries, and the entry fee is 2 Sickles. Of course, even if you win the runner-up and third place, there will be consolation prizes, so you will definitely not suffer.”

   "Are you also participating in the competition?" Someone couldn't help asking.

   "As the organizer of the Wizard Card Club, we will not participate in our own competitions, otherwise how can everyone have fun?" Albert shook his head.

   "If we want to get a place for the competition, who should we go to sign up for? And 32 places are too few." Someone asked again.

"The current number of applicants has exceeded 32. Our suggestion is that you register for the first time, and then think carefully. After the Christmas holiday is over, we will officially determine the number of participants. The wizard card competition will be held on weekends and will be drawn. Draw opponents, two wins out of three rounds, and we will provide the cards for the game. We will give you three wizard cards, and you need to choose one of them. This process will continue until you have completely assembled your own cards. The selected cards cannot be changed until the end of the game, so luck and the ability to form cards are very important.” Albert took out three cards and laid them out on the table for the onlookers to Everyone can see clearly how to choose cards at that time.

   "Why can't you use your own deck?" Someone couldn't help complaining.

   "Because that's unfair, the game is to compete...fairly." Before Albert could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

   "What are you doing here?"

   Albert raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Professor Smith.

   "I'm introducing a new wizard card to everyone." Albert looked at Professor Smith, without any intention of hiding, and handed over the rest to Lee Jordan.

   "What is the wizard card?"

   "A game I invented." Albert handed a card to Professor Smith and explained: At the end of every month, the Wizard Card Club will have a gathering. "

   "Party, now? It seems that this game is very popular!" Professor Smith turned around and looked around. There are really a lot of students gathered here.

   "Everyone really likes this game." Albert said without thinking

   "However, why use a real person?" Smith asked suspiciously, "By the way, is there any card for me?"

   "Not yet." Albert said directly, "The cards in the wizard card all record real people and real events, and its inspiration comes from the chocolate frog card."
