Cedric got off to a good start, and from the third year onwards, the number of wizards who were able to successfully turn a teacup into a rat gradually increased.

But only relatively.

Many of the senior students present did not complete the transformation accurately, and most of them turned into rats with colorful patterns on their bodies.

Apparently left over from the teacup.

But to be honest, it's pretty good.

In the past half hour, Carl has said hundreds of sorrys.

Even he didn't expect that after such a round of screening, only about 20 students stayed in the end.

After reading the results of the last seventh-grader, Carl asked all the unqualified students to leave.

It seems that everyone is very reluctant.

A few of the first and second grade girls actually cried, and George and Fred kept wincing at him, and he was speechless for a while.

The teachers followed suit, and they seemed to have seen what they wanted to see.

Carl visibly noticed that Professor McGonagall didn't seem to be looking good when she left.

It is foreseeable that in the coming period, the Transfiguration class assignments of all Hogwarts students will increase exponentially.

Looking at the remaining two dozen students, Carl didn't feel a little big, he didn't want to pick so many people at all.

In fact, with him and Hermione and George and Fred, Carl thinks that with two or three more people, it will be enough to complete this Hearthstone update by Friday.

Moreover, too many people are not conducive to secrecy.

So, he organized the language, "First of all, thank you very much for your support. ”

"Being able to stand out from hundreds of students shows that everyone is excellent. ”

"But," he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect so many people to come." ”

"In fact, I only want three. ”

"So, we've got to do one more round. ”

After saying that, Karl began to observe the expressions of the twenty or so people.

Strangely, everyone didn't seem to be surprised, but they were all gearing up, just waiting for Carl to come up with the question.

This confidence alone amazed Carl.

Don't look at the free and loose teaching method at Hogwarts, there are still elites in the school.

But he's not Slughorn - he collects elites and desperately recruits them to his door, like collecting stamps.

Moreover, no matter how elite these people are, they can't compare to him anyway.

So, "this second round of picks ......"

"Let's draw lots!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other.

"Carl, isn't that a bit too hasty. Cedric Diggory spoke first.

"yes, Carl. You'll have to look at our level before you decide!"

It was Jim Green, who, apart from Cedric Diggory, was the only Hufflepuff third-year student to have managed to transform the teacup.

Karl looked him up and down, trying to make sure Grindelwald had left him completely.

After looking at it for a long time, until Jim was covered in hair, Carl looked away.

After a while, several students expressed their disagreement.

Even George and Fred couldn't stand it anymore, George walked up to Carl and whispered, "Carl, the draw is too arbitrary, besides, it's still too tight to add three people." ”

Carl sighed helplessly, "Five people, this is the limit." ”

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded.

Even if the lottery is really going to be drawn, the probability of nearly a quarter is not low.

"As for the way to choose......"

Carl thought for a moment and smiled weirdly: "That's it, since everyone can come and sign up, I think they all like Hearthstone." ”

"It's Friday, Professor McGonagall's designated Hearthstone Club meeting time, and we're going to use Hearthstone to stay—"

As he spoke, his gaze scanned the audience.

"A total of twenty-four people, in teams of two, free combinations, two rounds of competition, the winner leaves the loser. ”

"As for the last remaining six, the extra ......"

With a wave of his wand, six Hearthstone cards appeared in his hand.

He showed the cards to the crowd.

"Five white cards, one orange card, orange card go, white card stay, how?"

Now, no one has any objections.

As Carl said, they wanted to join Carl's studio because of Hearthstone, and now it's only fitting to use Hearthstone to fight it out.

Even the draw that Karl had arranged at the end was readily accepted.

After all, the god pumping dog and the emperor will always be isolated.

......

"Congratulations, Seid, I'll give you this orange card as a souvenir. Rest assured, it hasn't been identified yet, and anyone can use it. ”

Cedric, under the envious and regretful gazes of the people around him, reluctantly took the Sylvanas Windranger from Carl.

To be honest, he himself didn't know what his mood was like right now.

So far, in the whole of Hogwarts, no one has this orange card.

And according to the analysis of the utility of the orange card in the recent issues of the Daily Prophet dedicated to Hearthstone, this orange card can be called the most practical of all Hearthstone orange cards.

Even, according to an anecdote recorded in the newspaper, an unknown French wizard opened more than 3,000 card packs in order to open this orange card.

With infinite confusion, Cedric left, and Karl looked at the remaining five young wizards.

Jim Green is a Hearthstone fanatic, and he managed to stay until the end.

The other four were split between men and women, two boys, one from Ravenclaw and one from Slytherin.

The two girls, Carl, a Gryffindor girl, had met several times in the common room, but they didn't know their names.

As for the other Ravenclaw girl, like the other two boys, Carl had never seen them.

Among the five, except for the Gryffindor girl who was in the seventh grade, the other four were not in high grades.

Jim Green and the two Ravenkera were both fourth-year, and the Slytherin boy was actually third-year.

"So, we're all left. Karl said in a brisk tone.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, the past hour or so had been a torment for him.

"First of all, everyone is welcome to join us, and in the next-"

"Carl!" Hermione reminded.

When he turned around, he found that George and Fred were also giving him a look.

"Oh, yes. Karl slapped his head.

Then, he took a piece of parchment from his bosom and handed it to Jim Green, who was standing on the far left.

"Out of trade confidentiality, I would like you to sign this non-disclosure agreement. ”

He looked at a few people quite solemnly.

"I can tell you very clearly that I cast a spell on this parchment—"

"Anyone who signs their name on it will face severe punishment if they say what I'm going to say next. ”

"Of course, this punishment will not be life-threatening and will not cause you permanent damage, but it will make you uncomfortable for a long time, so I hope you will think carefully. If you don't want to, you can leave now, and I won't force it. ”
