Chapter 41: New Rules for the Dueling Club
On Friday, there was still no progress in the research of the Golden Egg, at least not on the Hogwarts side.
By the end of the afternoon session, the Hogwarts Dueling Club had reopened.
Since the arrival of the four houses at Hogwarts, feasts have been held almost every weekend. This was not continued until the end of the first project. Naturally, the banquet was held in the auditorium, and of course the dueling club could not be held when the auditorium was used, so the dueling club had been closed for almost a month.
Daphany didn't care, but Draco and the others had long been worried about it. So, almost every weekend, Draco would run to Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal in charge of the subject, if he would continue to feast. Finally got a negative answer today! So after lunch, I came to Dafanie. Daphany immediately posted an announcement on the notice board that the Dueling Club activities were resumed.
Several students who were also looking forward to it saw the announcement, and they were all excited. However, some of the students of the four major colleges were a little inexplicable for a while, and they didn't know what this dueling club was, only Armstrong, who was very close to Slytherin, was vaguely known and interested by Draco.
The main purpose of the notice is to prepare students who are going to come to the auditorium for meals. Dinner is normally between six and eight o'clock. However, if there is a dueling club, the time will be advanced to half past five to half past seven. If someone eats at the normal time but gets stuck at the end time, they are in danger of going hungry.
Visitors from the four houses are not required to attend Hogwarts classes. However, if you are interested and do not conflict with your own classes at our college, you can also go to the classroom to observe. Professor McGonagall's classes are often attended! However, in comparison, Professor Babling's class has the most observers, for no other reason, and her appearance is high! Most of the people who come to the audit are boys~
Because of the existence of these auditors, the four major academies quickly knew about the existence of the dueling club and the things to be held. They are all young wizards, and the students who have been selected by the academy and feel that they have the opportunity to participate in the tournament are naturally very strong. Strength naturally brings a burst of self-confidence, although the warriors of the academy have long been determined, but it is impossible to say that there is no psychological convincing or resentment at all. If you don't have the slightest idea of competition, why did you come here in the first place?
Therefore, when they learned that there was such an interesting thing as a dueling club, many students decided to join in the fun.
As a result, when dinner and the dueling club opened, more than a third of the students from other schools were out. Thanks to the Auditorium, it was enchanted and could be expanded to a large enough size!
This makes it interesting that the students on the Hogwarts side are clustered according to the different houses. The other four faculties also have their own branches when they were in their own colleges. But when I got to the other school, I naturally became a gang. So they also got together. Coupled with some small groups, there are I don't know how many teams are divided into the auditorium.
Although Dafanie is the host, she rarely arrives early. Basically, they walked into the auditorium by stepping on the spot.
Walking slowly into the ring, Daphany looked around the audience. Well, almost all the acquaintances came. The students at Hogwarts were prepared for Daphany's appearance. Even first-year students were familiar with this at the first two club activities at the beginning of the semester...... Well, while getting acquainted with the club's process, I also heard the legend of Daphany. Well...... Most of the first-grade friends are called Dafanie Sister.
However, the attitude of students from the other four colleges is different.
There are eight warriors in the four academies, and they are also relatively authoritative students in the academies. So involuntarily it is at the core of the crowd, very conspicuous.
On Ilvermony's side, Meng Yuchen and Jacob both knew Daphne's strength. So the two of them looked at Daphany with interest, and when she saw Daphany looking over, Jacob nodded her head.
The students at Krum and Durmstrang have been getting close to Slytherin recently, so they are familiar with each other. I realized that I had a good relationship with Daphany and waved hello.
Compared with these two, the other two attitudes are not so good.
Audreyna Hilliax of Babston was fine, just smiling and saying nothing. Fleur looked at Daphany standing on the stage with a scrutinizing gaze, with a disapproving expression; Nagud Inave's two competitors were all mocking, and Horton had a cold smile. The relationship between Horton and Shen Yalan has obviously not been repaired, and the two have kept a certain distance.
"It's great to have so many people at the event today!" Daphany greeted with a grin: "Especially since there are so many friends from other schools, oh, I should say friends from other countries!" ”
The little wizards at Hogwarts below were very face-saving, and there was a burst of hippie smiles.
"At the beginning of the semester, I had an idea with George and Fred, but I didn't talk about it because of the tournament. We're ready to establish a new rule for the club! Daphany said with a smile, and the twin brothers below smiled and beckoned.
"What's the new rule?" Immediately at the bottom, a student asked a question.
"To put it simply, it's the rules of points!" Daphany smiled and said, "Start with this event, or the next event." We will regulate the competition system. The members of the Duel Club will be divided into full members and informal members, and although participation in club activities will not be affected whether they are official or not, only regular members can earn points from future events. The specific points rules are as follows: all regular members have an initial score of 200 points. Participating in duels and winning can earn points, of course, if you lose, points will be deducted, zero points can not participate in the event, you need to do extra tasks to get points, specific tasks I will mention later.

"The basic score of winning and losing is based on 10 points, well, since it is not easy to distinguish the level of students, for the time being, they will be divided according to the grade. If you praise a grade, you will get extra points. For example, a 3rd grader who wins a 4th grade student gets 12 points and loses 8 points, a 5th grade student who wins 15 points and loses 5 points, and a 6th or 7th grade winner gets 20 points and 2 points if he fails! In principle, students in the lower grades are not allowed.
"But that's just the temporary rule for the first few months. When everyone's level is almost confirmed, the scores obtained in the competition will be determined according to the rating, and every month, the top three students will be rewarded! At the end of the academic year, the top three colleges in total points will have a grand prize! We would like to thank the two owners of the joke factory for their kind sponsorship. Daphany said and smiled, gesturing at the twins.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, one of the twins bent down in salute, and the other shouted, "Extremely happy!" ”
"What is the grand prize? The Grand Prize of the Year? A sixth-grade Gryffindor student asked aloud.
"Well, I discussed it with the two bosses!" Daphne grinned and said, "How about a fire bolt?" ”
"Ah!!h The entire auditorium was filled with voices of amazement. You must know that although before the World Cup, the Halo and Sweep Company successively launched the latest Halo 3000 and Sweep Nine Stars, which caused some pressure on the sales of fire ballista arrows. As a result, the price of the firebolt has dropped a little, but it is still as high as 7,500 gold galleons! This money is a lot of money no matter where it is placed! At this time, Daphany even said that she would use it as the final prize of the dueling club for the school year.
The students, who were originally dizzy by Daphany's long list of rules, suddenly came to their senses.
"Can we also participate?" A boy from Nagud Inafer raised his hand and asked.
"Of course!" Daphany smiled and nodded, "Didn't Headmaster Dumbledore say before that this place is just like your school." Naturally, you have the same opportunities as our students, at least this year! However, you need to register as a full member! ”
"Then I'm going to sign up now!" The boy continued to shout.
Seeing that the other students also looked like they wanted to register immediately, Daphany smiled. Although the explanation is not clear enough, it doesn't matter, just summarize the rules directly from practice. These rules are temporary anyway.
For this competition points event, Daphany actually had an idea as early as the third grade. However, at that time, neither the potions factory nor the appropriate toy factory had completely expanded. Devhanie's funds were limited, so it was delayed until now. As for the ultimate goal, it is naturally to cultivate your own forces!
Daphany had already greeted a few acquaintances beforehand. The twins, Draco, Pansy, and Daphne all came over to help with the registration.
Registration information includes name, gender, grade, and college. After registration, each college distributed a palm-sized pamphlet made of parchment. The cover has the name of the person to whom it belongs. Underneath the name is a metallic black star, and below the star are two strings of the same silver number, 00100 and 0000!
All registered students were asked to tap their wands on the booklet. The booklet emitted a golden light, and then it was as if nothing had happened.
The students held the booklet in their hands, blank expressions.
"All the students who want to register have already got the booklet, right?" Daphany asked with a grin, shaking the booklet in her hand, which also had her name written on it.
"Yes!" The students below also waved the booklet in their hands and shouted loudly.
"Don't you know what this is for?" Daphany asked with another grin.
"Yes!" The students shouted loudly again.
"The booklet is a tool for recording the competition, and from this event onwards, every competition will be recorded in the booklet! The two numbers on the cover of the book are the current points - that is the one hundred and that. As for the one that is all zero, it's the current ranking! Well, there will definitely be a lot of tie points in the early stages. At this time, in alphabetical order of the last name, like Hannah is more advantageous, and the Weasleys' words ......"
There was a burst of laughter from below. Hannah Abbott smiled very happily, she was a Hufflepuff girl in the same year as Dafanie, she was usually not very conspicuous, but her grades were very good. Abbott has the initials A, and according to the rules that Daphne said, he is the most advantageous. As for Weasley, W is not the lowest, but it is basically at the bottom.
"There are extra points for cross-grade challenges, and you can't challenge junior students. So how do you count as a host? What if, I challenge you as a host! A beautiful but slightly indifferent voice sounded, and everyone followed the prestige, and it was a great beauty, Fleur Delacour!
"Challenge me?" Daphany was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then smiled lightly: "If you challenge me, you are not restricted by the protection of the lower grades, and any grade can challenge me." If you win, you will get points according to the highest difference! ”
