After the Christmas break, the Quidditch war reignited.

Gryffindor's form this year is not great, their well-coordinated batsmen have graduated, and the chasers they were already familiar with have also gone and need to be re-run.

That didn't stop Gryffindor from winning the first game of last year, beating Hufflepuff 310-70.

The experienced Charlie taught the younger rookie Cedric a good lesson.

For this reason, Cedric also secretly told Carl about his feelings about the game in the library.

"You have to persuade Fred and George." Finally, Cedric added, "They are so lively on the field. ”

He's a good guy, so he uses such a neutral word as lively.

His roommate, Milton Gravers, who is also in the study support group, thinks that Fred and George are to blame if they are beaten off the broom one day.

But the competition is over, life has to go on, and after Professor Carlo meets Carl's request, Carl puts more energy into his own life, and after thinking about the Christmas holidays, he has a new idea for the study group.

Although Carl was busier with his studies and a faster pace of studying, he did not give up on their study groups.

This was what Dumbledore had hoped for, and on the other hand, he enjoyed spending time with his friends.

Go to school together, do homework together, play together, and talk about gossip and interesting things at school.

This kind of life always makes Carl happy.

The only regret is that perhaps Carl's well-read image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this Christmas, with the exception of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan's closest friends, most of the Christmas gifts sent by friends are books - Muggle and wizard.

But it also had its benefits, as he finally came across his favorite book by wizard Gilderoy Lockhart, "Wandering with Werewolves".

Female ghosts, ghouls, dominatrixes, trolls, vampires, werewolves.

There is no doubt that the dangers faced by the great Monsieur Gildelow have become more and more difficult, and the magic he invented to solve the werewolf's dilemma is admirable, but what really intrigues Carl is a sentence written by Gilderoy Lockhart in this book.

"My ideal birthday present is for everyone who can do magic and those who can't get along with each other." —From Chapter 12 of Wandering with Werewolves.

If Gilderoy Lockhart's words were true, there was no doubt that he did qualify as Dumbledore's successor.

In fact, Carl would prefer that they can give away something more life-like, such as some interesting toys.

"I'm planning to expand our group learning this year." Karl said to Cedric.

It's the first midweek assembly after Christmas, and most of them are catching up on their homework together – you can't expect most kids to finish all their homework during the holidays, and the professors know that, so the assignments are submitted in the second week.

Cedric put down the pen in his hand, he had already finished his homework and was now doing the preview.

"What's the content?" Cedric asked.

"I'd like to talk to you about it." "I'm not sure if you're going to do it yet. ”

As everyone grows up, most of the students here are able to cope with their homework easily, and the value of the support group is actually decreasing, and more often than not, it is just a reason for everyone to get together to do their homework.

Many Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students will habitually finish their homework on the two days when the support group is open.

"I don't think people want to." Fred interjected, struggling with the quill in his hand, hoping that it would be able to finish his Potions homework on his own. "Carl, we don't have that much time."

"If you could spare half an afternoon on Saturday······" Carl gave Fred a blank look, "Look, time is instantaneous. ”

He looked at Cedric.

"I'd like to have a book club on Saturday afternoon." Carl explains, "Everyone got together to share the week's learning, to exchange experiences with each other about using magic, and of course to learn some interesting spells together. ”

The idea came up with a deliberate thought during the Christmas holidays.

Magic is something that needs to be practiced, and this is something he felt even more deeply after he started practicing the Black Spell.

Theory is important, but only practice can truly make magic your own.

The Hogwarts professors know this, of course, and there is no shortage of practice in their assignments.

But for most students, that's the end of it.

Practice when the teacher assigns homework, as for extra practice? Play is important!

So he thought it would be easier to add a practice schedule to their support group, which would be more motivating to train in a group and exchange experiences with each other, which would make the spells easier to master.

Cedric, who understood Carl's thoughts, nodded first, and then frowned: "This is indeed a good idea, but what about the venue if you practice magic?" ”

He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I know a place, but if there are many people, I'm afraid it won't be able to carry so many people." ”

Karl glanced at Cedric, knowing that this was where Cedric practiced his magic.

"If you want to, I can apply for a venue." Carl said. "I've read the Hogwarts school rules, and it's already possible to form a formal club in the second year."

Hogwarts actually has quite a few clubs, the most famous of which are naturally the four Quidditch teams.

Cedric nodded, "I think it's okay, it's good for everyone to be together." ”

"Fred, George, Lee Jordan is fine." Carl said. "Good, at least there are a few of them."

"Hey!" George complained, "You haven't asked our opinion yet?" ”

"I think you're going to like it." Carl winked at George, "I've got a lot of interesting spells in store." ”

Lee Jordan smiled and agreed, he was actually a lot more serious about his studies than Fred and George.

Next, Carl consulted with everyone present.

To his disappointment, most of them, except for his closest friends, were not very enthusiastic about it.

As Professor Caro once commented, this group of students living in peacetime did not crave power, they were very satisfied with their current lives, and only wanted to devote their time to entertainment rather than studying.

Carl counted the numbers, five Gryffindors, three Hufflepuffs, and about the same, and he consoled himself that he couldn't care about any more.

"That's it, then." Carr said, "I went and asked Professor McGonagall to form a society. Cedric, you'll have to go to Dean Sprout too, so the chances of success will be greater. ”

"He's going to make it." Milton snickered, "Everyone in our house knows that Dean Sprout's favorite student is Cedric. ”
