"Dursley's big fat head"
Sirius opened his mouth to curse, but restrained himself under Lupine's stern look.
"I advise you that if you still want to stay at Hogwarts, it's best not to say such things again."
"The whole school looked up to him."
"And he is my benefactor."
"What's so great." Sirius whispered with an aggrieved look on his face: "Didn't you just stop a few children from fighting? Didn't you just set up a disciplinary group? Didn't you just get better academic performance and be ranked first every year? Didn’t he solve the secret room crisis fifty years ago? Didn’t he win the third-level and first-level Order of Merlin? Didn’t he create a recovery spell? Wasn’t he the youngest Wizengamot?”
Sirius' voice grew quieter and quieter, until finally he was almost inaudible.
These deeds would be extraordinary even if they were applied to other little wizards.
Sirius scratched his head and said angrily: "Hey, Lupin, where are you standing? Why do you always speak for outsiders?"
"I'm on the right side."
Lupine did not coddle his old friend this time.
After a while, Sirius walked out of the office angrily.
Wandering around Hogwarts Castle aimlessly, the young wizards didn't pay much attention to him, just thinking that he was a new professor of a certain course.
'If only James was here, he would definitely be on my side. '
Sirius thought as he walked.
It's a pity that the best friend who always stood by his side is no longer alive. It's all his fault that he thought of some operation in exchange for the Loyalty Curse, which ended up killing him.
'No, James has left, I have to be nice to Harry. '
This guy has a totally crazy personality, and he always thinks of things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up on himself and stayed in Azkaban for twelve years.
At that time, he didn't think about Harry at all.
"But Harry doesn't want to see me now." Thinking of this, Sirius felt a little frustrated.
As for Dudley's warning to him, he had long forgotten it.
Maybe you have to beat him to remember.
The best way to build a good relationship is to do what you like.
Sirius suddenly remembered something James said when he was pursuing Lily.
What does Harry like?
'What kind of card does it seem to be? ! Yes, the wizard card. '
Sirius, who had figured it out, was full of joy and quickly turned around and rushed back to Lupin's lounge.
Under the gaze of a confused Lupine, he sprinkled a handful of Floo powder through the fireplace in his room and left the room.
'What's wrong with Sirius? '
Three days later, a rumor spread among the second-hand wizard card scalpers in Diagon Alley that a rich tycoon from nowhere had purchased all the wizard card packs from scalper wizards at a high price.
As a result, second-hand prices for Wizard Card expansion packs have risen again.
The scalper wizards, like greedy cats smelling the fishy smell, began to buy expansion packs at high prices to hoard them and then sell them at high prices.
As a result, within a few days, news came out from the Wizarding Card Store that unlimited amounts of Wizarding Card Packs could be purchased.
The scalper wizards suffered heavy losses, and some were so greedy that they even lost their pants.
These scalper wizards realized that they had been deceived by the so-called rich man, and threatened to make the rich wizard look good, but it was a pity that he could no longer be found.
During the critical period when Dudley was studying phone bugs, the preliminaries for the Wizarding Card Competition were in full swing.
Since the competition was a weekend holiday, the teachers at Hogwarts ignored it and allowed the students to participate.
There were more than 5,000 people who registered in the early stage alone, and other wizards continued to come from all over the country, not counting the number of viewers.
Even the organizers did not expect it to be so popular. The original competition venue could only accommodate 10,000 people, which was definitely not enough.
For this reason, they could only spend a lot of money to temporarily rent a large venue originally used for the Quidditch World Cup that could accommodate 100,000 spectators.
The preliminaries are boring. Thousands of wizards compete by randomly selecting opponents. Victory will be determined as long as they win twenty consecutive games. Only the top sixteen winners who win the game fastest will complete the preliminaries and enter the top sixteen.
Since the players' abilities vary greatly, sometimes the winner is decided in one or two rounds, and sometimes others have already played four or five games, and the other side hasn't even finished its first game.
It's not that the two sides are too strong, but that the two sides are too weak. They are just rookies pecking each other, and no one can do anything to the other.
After half a day of pre-selection, wizards passed through one after another.
Don’t think that just because the first Wizarding Card Game was held at Hogwarts, it means that young wizards are better at playing cards. In fact, adults are better at playing cards.
There was only one little wizard among the top five who passed the pre-selection.
"What, this game is too easy." The person who spoke was Sirius. He used a high-power deck to easily win twenty wins and successfully qualified for the top sixteen.
Yes, the wealthy wizard who bought expansion packs at high prices was Sirius.
He is a well-deserved rich man who owns the entire Black family property. In his own words, all he has left is money.
You must know that the Black ancestors even surpassed the Malfoy family at one time and became the richest family in the wizarding world.
A certain ancestor also spent a huge amount of money to 'donate' a first-class Merlin Medal.
Even if it had declined a lot now, it would still be enough for Sirius to spend a lifetime.
Due to the cumbersome rules of wizard cards, Sirius was too lazy to study tactics, but he did know a simple truth, the rarer the card, the more powerful it was.
Cards with high combat power must be powerful, so he decisively resorted to the krypton gold method and built a deck with high combat power.
His tactics are very simple and crude. He just uses the cards in his hand with high combat power to push forward. There is no strategy at all.
In fact, this tactic is really effective. Many wizards he fought against were squeezed to death before they even started their plans.
The key is that this guy is extremely lucky. There are many wizard decks specifically designed to target his high basic combat power, but he hasn't encountered any of them.
The list of the top sixteen has also come out. There are only four Hogwarts students, and the remaining twelve are all adults.
The top 16 battle is more interesting than the qualifiers. At least it is no longer a bunch of noobs pecking each other, and at least the cards are played in a decent manner, with back and forth.
Soon, the top eight list also came out.
Neville, Harry, and Draco are all on the list, and the number of students in Hogwarts has increased from four-sixteenths to three-eighths.
Draco's opponent is Sirius.
"Malfoy boy, I will show you how powerful I am."
After so many games, Sirius also understood the fun of this card game.
Mainly because it feels so good to win.
"I'll play my cards first."
Sirius gently pulled out a card with his back to Draco: "This is my card."
"Come out! Blueis Waite Doragon!"
Following Sirius's call, a giant silver-white flying dragon appeared on the field.
This is the ultra-rare card with the highest combat power among magical animals - the blue-eyed white dragon.
Ordinary cards are not qualified to play against him.
But Draco smiled instead when facing the huge blue-eyed white dragon.
