141. The No. 1 Wizard Contest in the World?
Hogwarts, Quidditch Field.
There were very few young wizards who came to observe today, and few people could not be seen.
Usually, no matter which academy the four major academies train, they are surrounded by young wizards.
The game of Quidditch is a favorite sport for wizards.
"Hey, Wood, what day is it? Isn't everyone going to participate. LS up? Wrong date, right? ”
George, who is a batsman, stabbed his captain with his elbow and asked.
Wood just glanced at the other man and didn't speak, but the stinky look on his face showed that he actually knew why.
"Work hard, it's our game against Slytherin in two days, don't lose."
At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from outside the stadium, and the sparse spectators on the field also seemed to have encountered something urgent, and hurriedly ran out of the arena with their things.
"It's okay now, there is not a single spectator, so we don't even have the motivation to train."
George let out a mournful cry and hugged his broomstick, looking weak and hurt.
It's not really because there is no audience and no motivation, but because everyone knows the secret and they don't know it, and it feels uncomfortable.
"So what the hell is going on?"
"George, you don't know?" Standing next to George, the man who looked almost the same as him said.
"Fred, you know?" George was stunned and looked up at his twin brother.
What I don't know, you'll know?
Fred looked proud: "Of course, little Angelina just told me."
"Oh~~~ Little Angelina." The elder of George's flip-flops looked at Fred with envy and hatred, repeating what he had just said.
He knew that his brother was after Angelina.
Fred said, "Hey, George, little Angelina is not something you can call, maybe she will be your sister-in-law." ”
"Why not my brother-in-law?" George asked rhetorically.
Fred rightly said, "Because I'm older than you." ”
"Take your pants off Bibi?"
"Give me good training!"
Wood rudely interrupted the two men, who were getting more and more distorted.
'Shh '
Tyrant Wood
Wood, who usually looks like a good old man to outsiders, will become a strict 'tyrant' when it comes to Quidditch, especially Gryffindor Quidditch.
"What the hell is going on?"
George asked in a whisper.
"Today is the day of the first 'Wizard' Tournament, and it's being held at Hogwarts."
It wasn't Fred who answered him, it was Katie Bell.
Like Angelina, is Gryffindor's pursuer.
"Oh my God! Wizard Cards! What am I missing? ”
George let out a grief as if he had thought of something.
"Everyone else went to the Wizard card game, who cares about Quidditch."
Not every little wizard is a fan of Quidditch, but almost every little wizard has a hand or two of wizard cards.
"I want to go too."
George whispered.
Fred chimed in: "Me too."
"I said, give me a good workout!"
Not far away, Captain Wood's angry roar interrupted the conversation of several people.
Hogwarts Castle, still the location of the Great Hall, was once again renovated and full of decorations.
At the same time, the long tables that had originally belonged to the four colleges were also removed and replaced with one desk after another, with a stool placed on each side of the desk.
In the center of the auditorium, there was a huge banner with a few large words written on it - 'The World's No. 1 Wizard Competition'.
Not. Behind the word "Wizard's Division" and behind the big character of the tournament, there is also a very small word "card".
From a distance, it was the 'No. 1 Wizard Contest in the World'.
The auditorium was full of wizards of all sizes, all of whom craned their necks to look in, waiting for the tournament to begin, and even Dumbledore, as the headmaster, was alarmed.
I thought it would be a party of the level of the Duelist Club at most, but I didn't expect such a large crowd to gather.
Fortunately, the 'First Wizarding Card Tournament' was only held at Hogwarts as a pilot.
Otherwise, it would not only be the students, but also the adult wizards.
There are certainly not enough seats in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle.
"I'm Carlo, I'm sure many people know me, a year ago I was a seventh year student at Hogwarts, and now I'm the president of the Witch & Poison Press, it's an honor to be here."
As one of the organizers, Carlo stood in front of the stage and talked.
It's better to leave the limelight to him, and Dudley only needs to divide the line.
From time to time, the card contest is held with a high amount of prize money, which can greatly extend the "lifespan" of the entertainment activity of "wizard card", as long as you do not die, and cooperate with regular activities, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
When the time comes, you can also make money lying down.
"Well, I hereby declare. The first World's No. 1 Wizard Card Contest officially began. ”
"Let's have a wizard card duel in the form of a draw."
With Caro's announcement, the little wizards in the audience cheered.
"Hey, my dear students, didn't I tell you? Actually, I'm pretty good at wizarding cards. ”
Lockhart stood in the audience and bragged about his abilities: "I will also publish a new book in a while - "The Secret of My Wizard Cards", everyone wants to know the secret of my technology, and they can buy it themselves when the time comes." ”
How could such a lively spectacle be less than his Lockhart?
When it comes to popularity, no one can compare to Lockhart.
It's just that in the face of his former employer, 'Witch and Poison Press', Lockhart really can't be cheeky to follow up and host.
Carlo is not the previous president, and if Lockhart dares to stand up, he will dare to slap Lockhart.
In fact, when he learned about this, he proposed to cooperate with him, but he was decisively rejected by Carlo.
But Lockhart certainly won't pass up this great opportunity to make a name for himself.
If you can't rub the heat as the organizer, then it's better to rub the heat as a player.
There is no one who says that professors can't sign up.
"My wizard card thief."
Lockhart said in an exaggerated tone, and then confronted his first opponent.
"Lockhart? He will not win. Also in the race was Ron, who was there for the prize money for the championship.
That's a full five hundred gold galleons, and no matter which little wizard wins, it's enough money to squander for a long time.
In fact, Carlo's idea was one thousand, but Dudley denied it, anyway, the first session was for young wizards, and there was not much difference between one thousand and five hundred, which was a huge amount of money for them.
"I advise Rona not to be too complacent about your words, his deck is quite good."
Malfoy also participated, but he didn't do it for the prize money, he just wanted to beat Ron.
As Malfoy said, Lockhart won the first race with ease.
