A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 14 Let's Play Cards
After the astronomy class, most of the little wizards who had gone through the whole day's class didn't bother to do their homework, and went back to their dormitories after saying "good night" to each other.

Owen, who had just finished stroking the cat, returned to the dormitory in a happy mood, and his three roommates were all there.

"Owen, what did you find just now?" Draco asked lazily while flipping through his schoolbag.

"A cat," Owen said truthfully as he put his schoolbag on the table, "Maybe you don't know, but I've always wanted to have a cat."

"Guess I believe it or not?" Draco's gray eyes glanced over, "Isn't your pet a rabbit? To be honest, that kind of stupid and fragile animal is easily picked up and eaten by other creatures in Hogwarts... ...By the way, why has your rabbit disappeared recently?"

"I'm dying of old age." Owen said casually.And, he is currently living and dying in his wall-facing space, jumping repeatedly.

"Oh, that's a good thing for it. It doesn't have to be in fear all day long. It's a very wise choice." Draco didn't feel that this topic might make the rabbit's owner feel uncomfortable, and spoke the truth in a slow tone.

Owen glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn't feel angry.He knew that Draco's intention was not to poke people's pain points, but that he didn't think a rabbit was a big deal in his heart, and he took it for granted that other people thought so too.To put it bluntly, it means low emotional intelligence, plus not very good at speaking, um, lack of social beatings.

Draco took out a large bag of candy from his schoolbag and threw it on the round table in the middle of the dormitory. He raised his chin and said, "My mother always likes to send me a lot of candy, but she can't remember that I can't eat at all." So much. You can eat these, or I'll take them out and throw them away."

The slipknots on the candy bag come loose and can be seen filled with chocolate frogs, sizzling bee candies and mastic nougat, as well as toad-shaped butter mints and fancy-looking sugar quills, some of which are unique to the Duke of Bee. Some candy, the price is not low.

"Actually, you only need to throw it to Crabbe and Goyle. I'm sure they won't be wasted at all." Sitting at the round table, Theodore Knott put down the magic playing card in his hand and took it with a smile. A sugar quill was sucking in his mouth.

"I don't want them getting any fatter," Draco said slowly, glaring at him. "They're big enough already."

"Oh, thank you." Harry, who was pondering the transfiguration notes with a sad face, also looked up, took a chocolate frog and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at the chocolate frog card of Agrippa in his hand with great interest, feeling that I felt much lighter.

The corner of Draco's mouth could not help but rise, and he said triumphantly: "I have collected several sets of this card, if you want, I can give you one set."

"Don't you know that the most interesting thing about collecting chocolate frog cards is the process of collecting them?" Theodore interrupted.He and Draco had been friends before school—after all, their father had been a horse boy for the same boss—so he didn't speak politely.

"That's why you haven't collected all the sets so far?" Draco replied without hesitation.

Owen also sat down at the round table, took a little Zizi Honey Honey Candy, and said casually, "Eating candy at night is easy to cause tooth decay, cause obesity, and is not good for your health..."

Before he finished speaking, several people looked at him and said in unison: "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak!"

After blurting out a sentence, Theodore turned his head and glanced at Harry first, then lowered his eyes and quickly looked away.

Theodore has a withdrawn personality. Except for Draco and Blaise, who he was familiar with before entering school, he maintains a calm relationship with most people.Especially for Harry Potter, perhaps because his father was a Death Eater, he has always been estranged, never offended and never close, and this also represents the few people in the Slytherin house who have a good relationship with Harry Potter. Attitude.

Owen blinked his eyes, and took Theodore's magic playing card. The pictures on it moved around very actively, flashing colorful light and shadow effects, and looked extremely gorgeous.

Under the stunned gaze of the three little wizards, Owen demonstrated a dazzling skill in shuffling cards.The playing cards danced and danced in his hands as if they were alive, unfolding and merging without any disorder like a tightly connected whole, which looked smooth and elegant, very aesthetically pleasing.

"Do you want to play cards?" Owen smiled mysteriously, and snapped together the cards in his hand that had been shuffled for a long time, but the order was not messed up at all.

"Okay!"

After 10 minutes, the three little wizards looked at Owen blankly. They had never won a game.Seeing Owen start shuffling the cards again, the three of them shook their heads quickly and said, "It's time to go to bed!"

"I doubt your cards will change." Draco looked at Owen suspiciously, "My luck can't be this bad!"

"Although my cards can prevent wizards from cheating to a certain extent, but..." Theodore also said cautiously.

"Uh, Transfiguration?" Harry had a flash of inspiration, thinking he had found the truth.

Owen threw the cards on the table, shook his head amusedly and said, "Why do you always think of people so darkly, am I someone who can use magic when playing cards?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, flicked his fingers, and the poker cards that had been hidden in his palm appeared between his two fingers, as if they appeared out of thin air.Then there was another flick of the finger, and the card in his hand changed from the Jack of Hearts to the A of Spades in an instant.In the end, Owen flicked his fingers, and the card disappeared immediately.

Then, he moved his fingers casually, and Harry's chocolate frog card appeared out of nowhere.He flicked the card onto the table and it turned into a little ace.

Owen showed his empty hands to the crowd, then spread them out, blinked his dark eyes with a smile, and said, "Unfortunately, my hands are still too small, so I can't do many tricks."

Although those magic tricks would probably not be seen through by the three little wizards even if he used them, but a qualified magician should never go on stage knowing that his magic has flaws, well, this is very important.

At this time, the cards he threw on the table began to moan, and the King of Hearts, who had always wanted to sue dishonestly before, jumped up, covered his red mouth that Owen pinched, and cried tearfully: " He cheated!"

"Okay, I knew you were using magic secretly!" Draco jumped up first, followed by Harry.The two held down Owen, who was about to slip away, and rummaged through the magic props he was carrying around.

Theodore watched the scene with his shoulders crossed, and then picked up the cards on the table with some doubts, suspecting that he had bought a fake.He took out his wand and cast a spell at the King of Hearts. The King Card let out an annoyed cry, and exploded with a bang, turning Theodore's pale cheeks into charcoal.

"Well, it's really anti-cheating..." Theodore spit out a puff of black smoke, and rolled his eyes with his exploding head on his head.

After being noisy for a while, amidst Owen's smiling voice begging for forgiveness, the dormitory finally returned to tranquility.

The giant squid outside the window was shaking its huge tentacles in the lake water, and an eye with wavy pupils flashed past.

The little wizards who were tired from playing climbed onto the beds one after another and fell into sleep.
