Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 230: Those who keep company with ink are black

Views:

Albert was very depressed because his doubts were not answered and he was unable to obtain the signature slip for borrowing books in the restricted area from Professor Flitwick. He was also a little concerned that the essence of Professor Flitwick's spell was a talisman.

What is a talisman

It refers to the magical act of mobilizing the magical power of the magical world to achieve certain effects that ordinary people cannot achieve.

However, Albert did not delve further into it. He thought that his knowledge of the magical world was very limited, and it was not a good idea to delve into these things in depth. Instead, it might cause confusion in his thinking.

Maybe, at some point in time, he will understand those things.

Before leaving, Professor Flitwick said to him: It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand it later.

Although he had the help of the panel, Albert's exposure to the magical world was still too short. He also realized that he was too anxious. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to slow down the pace.

Of course, Albert did not continue to dwell on this issue. In fact, there was another reason: his roommates were in trouble.

According to Lee Jordan, Fred and George had an unpleasant confrontation with Slytherin Seeker Lucien Pole in the castle's second floor corridor.

In the melee, George was hit by an unknown evil curse, and leeks grew out of his ears, while Paul was hit by the hairy curse, and a large tuft of nose hair grew out of his nose.

Both parties have been sent to the school hospital.

"How do you feel?" When Albert and Lee Jordan went to the school hospital to visit George, they found this guy smiling and chatting with Fred.

“Not very good.”

"That's great." Fred peeled a candy and put it in his mouth, smiling and winking at Albert.

"By the way, how did you end up fighting with Slytherin students?" Albert asked in confusion. He knew that the twins wanted to cause trouble for Slytherin students, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"I can only say that our luck is bad!" Fred muttered softly, "We were passing through the corridor on the second floor, um, near the abandoned girls' bathroom. A few senior Gryffindor students seemed to be preparing to repeat the bad incidents of last year and teach the Slytherin students a lesson. When we passed by, we were accidentally affected by their melee."

"Then..." Fred shrugged helplessly, "I saw George being hit by the evil curse, so I took out my wand and knocked him down."

Albert looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly and said, "Can you be more reliable? I thought something happened."

The latter looked innocent.

"What's Professor McGonagall's reaction?" Albert continued, "Is she going to lock you up?"

"Professor McGonagall was indeed very angry, but she didn't put us in detention." George spread his hands innocently and said, "After all, we are just unlucky people passing by and being innocently affected."

The unlucky guy who was innocently affected

In fact, they were not innocent. These three guys actually overheard the senior students' plan to play a prank on the Slytherin players, so they sneaked over to take advantage of the situation. Then the scene of being innocently affected occurred, and the three of them justifiably drew their wands to help deal with the two Slytherin students.

Of course, in a public place like a school hospital, you have to act innocent.

"These guys have become cunning!" Albert couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's probably what they say, 'Birds of a feather flock together.'"

This incident caused a big stir.

There was no way around it. Last semester the foursome did a lot of trouble by playing pranks on the Slytherin students.

At that time, many people believed that it was done by Gryffindor students, but there was no evidence, and Gryffindor itself didn't know who did it. In the end, the case could only be hastily concluded as the culprit could not be found.

But this time was different. Those senior students were caught with evidence, and coupled with the bad events that happened last semester, the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin houses suddenly became tense, and even tinged with tension.

What made Albert even more dumbfounded was that several senior Gryffindor students completely replaced them and became the target of attracting fire.

As for Fred and the other two, they were soon forgotten. After all, they were just innocent passers-by who were affected.

"This matter really has nothing to do with us." Fred spread his hands towards Albert with an innocent look on his face. "As you know, the Slytherin group has been a bit arrogant recently. Many people are unhappy with them and want to teach them a lesson, but they can't do it without any flaws, and this is the result."

"What are you talking about?" Angelina and Alia came over.

"Nothing." George changed the subject.

"I heard that those senior students were detained for a week. Snape originally planned to keep them in detention for a month. He seemed to think that the incidents last semester were related to them, but Professor McGonagall disagreed." Angelina glanced at Albert who was concentrating on doing his homework and said in surprise, "You are also rushing to do your homework?"

"No, he's planning it," Fred explained, shaking his head.

"What's the plan?"

"Planning of a wizard card competition. Our club now has nearly forty members. Albert plans to hold a wizard card competition."

"Are there any prizes?" Alia asked curiously.

"Yes." Lee Jordan nodded.

"What is it?" Angelina continued to ask, not expecting that they were actually planning to hold a competition.

"It has not been determined yet. It may be Galleons, a notebook or something else. It should be some symbolic reward."

"Of course, it could also be a barrel of butterbeer," Fred continued.

"Albert is going to turn the wizard cards into a Hogwarts tradition, and I think that's a great idea," said Lee Jordan, who will be the commentator for the game, with a little excitement.

"When does it start?" Angelina asked curiously. She felt that this might be interesting. Apart from Quidditch matches, there were basically no other decent activities in the school.

"First, there will be a selection, and then the last four will compete. The top three will receive rewards." Albert explained, "We provide the wizard cards. Participants can freely combine the cards, but they only have one chance."

"You are very generous."

Who pays the prizes

Of course it’s the organizer.

In fact, as long as Wizard cards become popular, this little bit of effort is nothing compared to the future gains.

Fame takes time to accumulate, and Hogwarts students will become the main consumers of wizard cards in the near future.
