The werewolf incident caused a great commotion in Hogwarts. Everyone was discussing it and wanted to know whether there were really werewolves in the Forbidden Forest.
Some people said that they saw the Minister of Magic and Aurors outside the school, while others said that the professors were cleaning the Forbidden Forest to prevent werewolves from lingering around Hogwarts.
This incident did not affect the normal progress of the Wizard Card Competition. The number of spectators who came to watch the game was more than the last time. Despite this, the task of the "small event" was still not completed, which made Albert a little depressed.
However, there is good news: the Wizarding card game is getting better.
Some students who had not been baptized by wizard cards became curious about the competition, especially when they saw the contestants playing with their own cards, they felt a sense of weirdness. Wizard cards are not like crackling explosion cards that explode automatically during the game, but tend to use the brain. Many Ravenclaw students have developed a strong interest in this wizard card.
"Where did they get these cards? Why have I never heard of this card game?" A Ravenclaw student couldn't help but ask his friend who had pulled him over to watch the game.
The man didn't say anything either. He raised his hand and pointed to a sign next to him, which clearly read: Please remain quiet during the competition.
So that's why, no wonder no one talks much.
"What are you all doing here?"
Professor McGonagall walked into the hall and her attention was immediately drawn to a table filled with people. She walked over and saw that everyone was watching four people playing cards.
When did the school have such a club, and it is so popular.
Professor McGonagall's appearance attracted the students' attention, and everyone made way and looked over.
"Professor, is there anything wrong?" Albert also noticed the appearance of Professor McGonagall and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Easter is coming, everyone should not go to the Forbidden Forest to avoid accidents." Professor McGonagall stared at the wizard cards, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke.
As long as we connect it with yesterday's werewolf incident, it is not difficult to guess what happened.
"Is it because of the werewolves?" Albert asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"Well, there may be other werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, so don't take any risks." Professor McGonagall nodded seriously and said, "If you are bitten by a werewolf by accident, your life will be ruined."
"It seems that the rumor that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest is true!" Albert muttered softly.
"Mr. Anderson, what are you doing?" This time, it was Professor McGonagall's turn to ask questions.
"We are holding the first Wizard Card Tournament," Albert answered honestly.
"Wizard cards, is this what you mean?" Professor McGonagall asked again.
"Yes, these are wizard cards, inspired by the Chocolate Frog cards. If the professor allows, we can make you a card that belongs exclusively to the professor." Albert suggested with a wink. Among these wizard cards, there is no card of Professor McGonagall, because no photo was taken, and considering that the professor might cause trouble, there is no card of the Hogwarts professor in the card deck of the competition.
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then looked at Albert again, then glanced at the wizard cards on the table, and said softly: "If you have time, tell me what's going on. I can see that you have cast a lot of advanced spells on these cards."
The wizard cards used a lot of Transfiguration magic, and although the usage was still a bit crude, Professor McGonagall still admired Albert's talent in Transfiguration. Some spells even needed to be learned in advanced classes, and those students were not even as good as Albert.
Professor McGonagall left, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Albert didn't mind it, as he thought Professor McGonagall would agree. Most wizards wouldn't be able to resist appearing on a Chocolate Frog card.
Although there was a minor disturbance, the competition is still going on. The number of people participating in the knockout round this time is far less than last time, but the progress of the competition is slower. The contestants who can pass a round of elimination are all of some level. The brainless behavior during the last competition has decreased a lot, and everyone will think carefully about how to use card tactics to defeat the enemy.
Playing wizard cards requires a bit of luck, but it also pays more attention to certain details during the game. When masters fight, they may be overturned by their opponents if they are not careful, and this situation also applies to this group of contestants.
Sana, who was favored by Albert, lived up to expectations and successfully passed the elimination. Angelina's luck was as good as ever and she also successfully advanced. Also with her was Truman, who won easily and was a player who had a chance to compete for the championship.
The others were just so-so, and Albert felt that the championship might come from among the three of them as long as they did not meet before the final.
"It seems that the final will have to wait until next month." Albert glanced at his pocket watch and signaled everyone to leave.
After the game, many people came to ask Albert about the Wizard Cards. Suddenly, more and more people became interested in this Wizard card game.
Albert pushed Lee Jordan out to explain to everyone, and then he successfully escaped from the crowd.
During lunch, Lee Jordan looked at him with resentment.
"Fourteen people have expressed their desire to join our club, seven of them are Ravenclaws, three are Hufflepuffs, and four are Gryffindors." He reported the details to Albert.
"Very good." Albert said without hesitation.
"That's good, but... why don't you explain the rules of the game to them yourself?" Speaking of this, Lee Jordan's face became even more dissatisfied.
You bastards run really fast.
"We are giving you a chance to exercise!" Albert said with a laugh.
"I don't need this opportunity," Lee Jordan could not help but protest. "I don't need it at all."
"No, man, you need it." Fred and George looked at each other, put their hands on Lee Jordan's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Think about the second, third, and even fourth wizard card competitions. Someone will be needed to host them, and you are the best candidate. Naturally, you need to practice well. How can you let other students laugh at you?"
Lee Jordan was stunned, seemingly confused by what the three people said.
"By the way, the first Wizard Card Competition went more smoothly than I expected." Albert quietly changed the subject. "I plan to make a photo album and have it passed down by successive administrators of the Wizard Card Club as a historical heritage of the Wizard Card Club." Albert continued.
That's a good idea.
The three nodded in agreement. If wizard cards became really famous, the Hogwarts Wizard Card Club would be regarded as the origin of wizard cards and attract the attention of students, which would effectively increase the popularity of wizard cards among students.
