Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 298 The First Wizarding Card Competition
As the end of the month drew near, the Wizard Card Competition organized by Albert was about to start.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan didn't have time to make troubles recently, and they were all captured by Albert to help make improved wizard cards.

The three of them have put a lot of effort into this card game, and naturally hope that the wizard card game can be promoted and welcomed by everyone.

On the weekend, Albert was woken up early in the morning by his excited roommates.He covered his yawn sleepily, and couldn't help complaining, "I really don't know what you are excited about, and aren't you cold?"

Although the weather is showing a tendency to warm up, the snow outside the castle has not yet melted. What kind of trouble is it for jumping around in thin pajamas?
"Do you think everyone remembers the wizarding card game?"

On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Lee Jordan couldn't help asking again, this is the third time.

Although he had experience as a Quidditch commentator, he still looked nervous, probably because he was worried that no one would come to the wizarding card game and the four of them would become the laughing stock of the whole school.

"If no one came, wouldn't we have earned a registration fee for nothing?" George said pretending to be greedy.

Albert could see that George was also very nervous, probably because he was afraid that no one would come to the competition in the end.

In fact, everyone understands that the popularity of the wizard card is decreasing with the passage of time. Most of the students are interested in participating in it for a while. When the enthusiasm subsides, there are really not many people left. The problem can be seen when the number of people participating in wizarding card clubs is decreasing.

"It doesn't matter if you mess up the initial attempt. There will always be several failures in life." Sitting at the dining table, Albert first poured himself a cup of hot milk, took a sip and said to his roommate, "And , you should have confidence in our wizard card game."

"I don't want to hear you talking nonsense out there."

Fred said angrily that he didn't quite understand where Albert's self-confidence came from.

"Well, if you pay the registration fee of two Sickles, will you not come to the competition?"

Albert shook his head involuntarily, took out Sickle from his pocket, twirled it at his fingertips, and said softly, "If registration is free, if you don't want to come, you won't come, but now they spend money to register, even if Regret that you don’t want to participate in the competition, and we will not refund the registration fee, if you can’t let your Xi Ke go to waste, right? You will definitely grit your teeth and come to the competition.”

"No one likes to suffer!"

"Since you have paid, few will give up halfway. What's more, the champion has ten Galleons."

Although British parents would give their children pocket money, it would definitely not be too much. Those with a lot of Galleons in their pockets like Albert were definitely an exception.

"I see!"

All three of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Albert charged the registration fee at the beginning, and solemnly asked everyone to think twice, because once the registration is confirmed, it cannot be refunded.

Feelings are for this reason!

What a treacherous and cunning fellow.

"You're smart."

Shanna was walking this way, just in time to hear this conversation, and asked with a smile, "When does the wizard card game start?"

"Starting at ten o'clock, the first round of elimination will be carried out first. Anyway, there are only 32 people, so it won't take much time."

Albert had already thought about matters related to the wizard card game.

"Is the champion decided today?" Shanna asked again.

"Of course not, the referee only has four of us once." Albert pointed to Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and then pointed to himself, "Four games at a time, plus those who don't want to participate, should be able to The top 16 will be selected before twelve o'clock." Albert estimated the time and continued, "If there is still enough time, we will select the top 8, and then wait until next month to decide the champion."

"You are very familiar with the competition process!" Angelina and Alia came over together, and they were also preparing to participate in the wizard card competition.

"I heard that you have prepared a brand new wizard card?" Angelina asked curiously.

"Listen to who said it." Albert looked at his three roommates, and they all raised their fingers to Fred.

"Ahem, it's not a secret anyway. The new card is ready." Fred pointed to Albert, indicating that he had the new wizard card.

"Just talk about it."

"Always give everyone some expectations, otherwise no one will really come to the competition." Fred had already thought of an excuse.

Albert took out the card from the exquisite box and handed it to Angelina.

Angelina took a closer look at the brand new wizard cards, which were completely different from the crude wizard cards before.The wizard cards in their hands look more refined and standardized, and even the effects of the wizard cards are written in beautiful squiggles.

Shanna picked up a spell card with the spell's swing, the name of the spell, and its effect drawn on it.

"When will we have our own cards?" Truman originally came to ask about the specific time of the game. After seeing the wizard cards in Angelina's hand, he was immediately attracted by these brand new cards.

"not the right time yet."

"These wizard cards take a lot of time, and they still need to be improved. This time, they are used to show you what the future wizard cards might look like."

At present, Albert has no plans to popularize wizard cards, at least until he can mass-produce wizard cards, he does not plan to sell wizard cards.

"Before, I was still worried that the wizard card would not be liked by people, but now I don't worry about it." Truman looked at the brand new wizard card carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Will all future wizard cards have to be purchased with money?"

"Official sale, it should take a while longer." Albert never planned to provide wizard cards to others for free.

The brand-new wizard card has indeed attracted the attention of many people. Compared with the original wizard card, it is not at the same level. Many supporters of the wizard card are eager to snatch the card from their hands now.

"Is it possible to make a deck of cards the champion of this competition?

"You can think about it next year. This year's prizes will not change." Albert took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and then cleared a vacant space at the end of the dining table, then took out the registered players and started roll call.

There were two students who didn't plan to participate in the wizard card competition. Albert directly declared the other party to lose the game. Angelina and another lucky student entered the next round of elimination before the game started.

"Now, I announce the official start of the first wizard card tournament!"

Albert picked up the wand and created sparks, creating the effect of fireworks exploding, which stunned everyone.
