Hogwarts, Quidditch field.
There were very few young wizards who came to observe today, and only a few people could be seen.
No matter which one of the four major academies is training, there are always little wizards around.
Quidditch is wizards' favorite sport.
"Hey, Wood, what day is today? Is everyone going to attend .Ls? Is the date wrong?"
George, a batsman, nudged his captain with his elbow and asked.
Wood just glanced at the other party and said nothing, but the smelly expression on his face showed that he actually knew the reason.
"Practice well, we will have a match with Slytherin in two days, don't lose."
At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from outside the stadium, and the sparse audience on the field seemed to have encountered some emergency, and hurriedly ran out of the field with their things.
"It's better now, there's not a single audience, so we don't even have the motivation to train."
George let out a mournful cry and hugged his broomstick, looking weak and hurt.
It’s not really because there’s no audience and there’s no motivation, but it’s because everyone knows the secret and you don’t feel good about it.
"So what happened?"
"George, you don't know?" said a man standing next to George who looked almost the same as him.
"Fred, you know?" George was stunned and looked up at his twin brother.
You know things that I don’t even know?
Fred looked proud: "Of course, little Angelina just told me."
"Oh~~~little Angelina." George dragged out the word "oh", looked at Fred with envy and jealousy, and repeated what he just said.
He knew that his brother was pursuing Angelina.
Fred said sternly: "Hey, George, little Angelina is not something you can just call. Maybe she will become your sister-in-law."
"Why not sister-in-law?" George asked.
Fred said matter-of-factly: "Because I'm older than you."
"Take off your pants and compare?"
"Give me good training!"
Wood rudely interrupted the two people who were getting more and more confused about the topic.
'Hush the tyrant is angry. '
Tyrant Wood
Wood, who usually looks like a good guy to outsiders, turns into a harsh 'tyrant' when it comes to Quidditch, especially Gryffindor Quidditch.
"In the end what happened?"
George asked quietly.
"Today is the day of the first 'Wizard's Card' competition, and it will be held at Hogwarts."
It wasn't Fred who answered him, but Katie Bell.
Like Angelina, she is Gryffindor's wooer.
"Oh my God! Wizard card! What did I miss?"
George seemed to have thought of something and wailed.
"Who cares about Quidditch when everyone else is going to watch the wizarding card game."
Not every little wizard likes the competitive sport of Quidditch, but almost every little wizard knows one or two hands of wizard cards.
"I want to go too."
George whispered.
Fred also echoed: "Me too."
"I told you, give me a good workout!"
Captain Wood's angry roar came from not far away, interrupting the conversation of several people.
Hogwarts Castle is still the location of the auditorium. At this time, the auditorium has once again taken on a new look and is filled with various decorations.
At the same time, the long tables originally belonging to the four major colleges were also removed and replaced by desks one after another, with stools placed on both sides of the desks.
In the center of the auditorium, there was a huge banner with a few big words written on it - 'The World's Best Wizard Competition'.
Hmm. After the wizard's word division and the big word competition, there is also a very small word "card".
From a distance, it looks like the 'World's Best Wizard Competition'.
The auditorium was filled with wizards of all sizes. Everyone craned their necks to look in, waiting for the competition to begin. Even Dumbledore, the principal, was alarmed.
I originally thought it would be a duelist club-level gathering at most, but I didn't expect such a large crowd to gather.
Fortunately, this 'First Wizarding Card Competition' was only held in Hogwarts as a pilot.
Otherwise, not only students, but adult wizards will also come to participate.
There are certainly not enough seats in the Great Hall at Hogwarts Castle.
"I'm Carlo. I believe many people know me. A year ago I was a seventh-year student at Hogwarts, and now I'm the president of Witches and Poisons Publishing House. I'm honored to be here."
As one of the organizers, Carlo stood in front of the stage and talked.
It's better to leave the limelight work to him, Dudley just needs a share of it.
Holding poker competitions from time to time, with high bonuses to tempt you, can greatly extend the 'life' of entertainment activities such as 'Wizard Cards'. As long as you don't commit suicide and cooperate with regular events, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Then you can make money even while lying down.
"Then, I hereby announce that the first World's Best Wizard Card Competition has officially begun."
"The following will be a wizard card showdown in the form of drawing lots."
Following Carlo's announcement, the little wizards in the audience cheered.
"Hey, my dear students, didn't I tell you? I'm actually very good at wizard cards."
Lockhart stood in the audience and boasted about his abilities: "I will also publish a new book in a while - "Secrets Between Me and the Wizard Cards". If you want to know the secrets of my technology, you can buy it by yourself when the time comes. .”
How could such a lively event be without Lockhart?
In terms of popularity, no one can compare to Lockhart.
But facing his former employer, Witches and Poison Publishing House, Lockhart really couldn't be so shameless as to host it.
Carlo was not the previous president. If Lockhart dared to stand up, he would dare to fight Lockhart.
In fact, when he learned about this incident, he proposed to cooperate in organizing it, but Carlo decisively refused.
But Lockhart will certainly not give up this good opportunity to become famous.
If you can't gain popularity as an organizer, then you can do it as a player.
There is no rule that professors cannot sign up to participate.
"My wizard card is stolen."
Lockhart said this in an extremely exaggerated tone, and then faced his first opponent.
"Lockhart? There's no way he can win." Also participating was Ron, who was participating for the championship prize.
That's a full five hundred gold galleons. No matter which little wizard wins, this money will be enough to squander for a long time.
In fact, Carlo's original idea was one thousand, but Dudley rejected it. Anyway, the first session was for young wizards. There is not much difference between one thousand and five hundred. For them, this is a huge sum of money.
"I advise Rona'er not to be too complacent with your words. His deck is quite excellent."
Malfoy also participated, but he didn't do it for the prize, he just wanted to beat Ron.
Just as Malfoy said, Lockhart won the first game very easily.
