Wood decided to keep Harry's participation in the Quidditch match a secret and use him as a secret weapon of the Gryffindor team, ready to catch the opponent off guard during the game.
Yes, a secret weapon, but secrets always spread.
The day after Harry became Gryffindor's Seeker, all the teachers and students in the school knew that Harry was going to be the Seeker.
For this, Wood was so angry that he chased the twins with a broom, as he believed that they had leaked the secret.
Some said Harry would be a great fighter, others said they would have to hold up a mattress and run underneath it to prevent him from falling.
In short, Harry Potter was under a lot of pressure, especially when a bunch of people, mostly Slytherin students, were going to watch him make a fool of himself during training.
"Gryffindor House has never had any secrets." Albert smiled and comforted Wood who was still angry. "And congratulations on finding an excellent seeker."
Wood kept muttering, "This is not a good thing.", "I don't want to put too much pressure on Harry." and so on.
Albert couldn't help but shook his head, found a chair nearby and sat down, opening the letter sent from home. Nia was doing well in school and she made new friends smoothly. The letter also wrote about some things that happened in school.
As Albert expected, although his sister was still unwilling, after making new friends at school and having her own life, her thoughts about Hogwarts gradually faded.
"What good news?" Shanna noticed the smile on Albert's face and asked curiously.
"A letter from home." Albert folded the envelope and put it back in his pocket.
"I thought you would be... disappointed." Shannah carefully chose her words, because she knew that Wood had always hoped that Albert could take over the position of Seeker in the team.
"Disappointed. No, no, I have no interest in playing Quidditch." Albert smiled and shook his head to deny it. "I'm very busy. I don't have any spare time to train every week."
"Have you finished your wizard cards?" Angelina's head popped up from nowhere, interrupting their chat.
"Okay, here it is!"
Albert reached into his shapeshifting lizard skin bag and pulled out a box of wizard cards, handing it to Angelina.
"It does look a lot better, but it's still a little different from what you took out last time!" Angelina commented briefly after flipping through the set of wizard cards in her hand.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. If we want to promote wizard cards, we have to make them simpler." Albert took out the original card he had carefully crafted from the leather bag again, "The refined and improved version can only be made slowly."
"Do you want money?" Alia appeared from behind Angelina, staring at the box of wizard cards in Angelina's hand, and couldn't help asking.
"You don't need to do that, but you need to use the copy spell to copy the cards you need. As for the one in my hand, it's an original card that needs to be improved." Albert handed an original wizard card to Shanna and explained to the people around him, "However, everything can only be confirmed after the wizard card is completely perfected. After all, what I have learned now can only do this much."
"You cast a transmutation spell on the cards?"
Percy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at the wizard card in Shanna's hand, and asked suddenly.
"Yes." Albert nodded.
"This is not a simple transformation spell, it has surpassed the S level!"
Percy felt a little disappointed. He was considered a genius and his grades in school were among the best, but his use of the Transfiguration Spell was far from Albert's level.
At this moment, Percy suddenly understood why Isobel never compared him with Albert. Perhaps she had no interest in comparing him, or perhaps she knew from the beginning that this would be the result.
"I just saw Percy, what happened to him!" Fred looked at Percy's departing back and came over here.
"Maybe he was hit hard!" Albert said helplessly.
"A blow?" George also squeezed over. After hearing Albert's words, he couldn't help but mutter, "What a useless guy. He was already hit by this. Then those of us who share the same dormitory with Albert will be hit every day, right?"
"Don't worry about that Percy guy. Are the cards you have in your hands the new wizard cards?"
"I thought you were also helping to make the wizard cards." Angelina said in surprise.
"Our level is not good enough. Albert alone is faster than a dozen of us." Li Jordan said helplessly. It was not that they were unwilling to help, but they really couldn't help.
"Now, you can help. Make a few more copies and give them to the members of the Wizard Card Club if they want them!" Albert said, pointing to the box of wizard cards in Angelina's hand.
"No charge?" George asked in confusion, "I remember you said last time that there would be a charge?"
"No charge for now. The Wizard Card Club is still in its infancy and can't afford to be fussy. Once our wizard cards are more complete, it won't be too late to start selling cards and charging for them. We can even give one away with every purchase like we do with other products." Albert explained. "There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Don't be too short-sighted. Only by taking it slow and steady can you achieve success in the long run, just like Floo Powder."
"You have the final say."
Since it was Albert's opinion, they naturally had no objection. Anyway, they didn't think their brains were better than Albert's.
If the other party said this, it must mean that they have already made a plan.
"Oh, by the way, have you seen Potter? I'm going to make a wizard card for him too."
"Harry? I don't know. By the way, have you seen him?"
"You ask me, how would I know?"
"And you?"
"I've been with you guys since a while ago," Lee Jordan said gruffly.
"Forget it, let's collect them first. Anyone who is willing can make wizard cards for them." Albert thought for a while and reached out to take a piece of parchment from the side, and wrote a notice on it about collecting people to make wizard cards.
Then, he took out his wand and tapped the parchment, causing it to split into four copies, one of which was handed to Fred, "Post it on the notice board!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"How many freshmen do you think will be willing to join the Wizard Card Club?" Angelina asked.
If the club doesn't recruit new students, the number will decrease.
"I don't know. I can only say that opportunities are rare and you need to seize them yourself. Once Wizard Card becomes more famous, it will be difficult to get such opportunities." Albert's voice was not loud, but the students around him could hear it clearly. "So, make good use of the opportunity now."
After a while, Fred and George came back, carrying a young black-haired boy.
"Look, I found Harry." Fred and George said with a grin.
"I think you're going too far!" Albert looked at the Weasley twins in reproach, then turned his gaze to Harry and said straight to the point, "Harry Potter, we want to make a wizard card for you, this kind of card."
As he spoke, Albert handed George's card to Harry.
"Wizard card, oh, that's..." Harry's face was full of doubt and confusion when he took the wizard card. He looked at the so-called wizard card in his hand. It was a very delicate card, and the person holding a broom and wearing a Quidditch uniform was George Weasley.
"You happen to be on the Gryffindor team, I guess you don't want to be absent!"
"Anyone else?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Of course, both!" Angelina nodded. "I'm a Chaser in the team, and Alia is also a Chaser."
"Oh, okay!" Harry thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"If you also want to make a wizard card of your own, you can take a look at this. Ron, if you want, just come and sign up." Albert noticed the envy on Ron's face and said with a smile: "However, the speed of making wizard cards is not as fast as you think."
"Can I?" Ron asked excitedly.
"As long as you are willing. However, if you want to get other wizard cards, you need to join the Wizard Card Club, and we will distribute new wizard cards to members for free. That's it." Albert gave Lee Jordan a look, indicating that he should be responsible for handling this matter.
Lee Jordan began to call on students who were interested in joining the Wizard Card Club to sign up, and explained to them the rules of Wizard Cards and the time of gatherings.
"He's perfect for this," Shanna said.
"Yeah, it's quite appropriate."
