Study Days at Hogwarts

  The Gaze Behind Chapter 174

   "Oh, I lost again, can I still play cards happily?"

In the common room of Gryffindor, George, who had lost another round of wizard cards, slumped weakly on the chair, casually threw the remaining large number of cards back on the table, and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you lose? Is the person always me?"

"Nonsense, it would be a strange thing if you can beat me now." Albert packed up his cards, reached out and patted George on the shoulder and comforted him: "After all, I invented this game. At the current level, it is impossible to beat me for the time being. You should play cards with Fred or Lee Jordan, and the level of the three of you should be almost the same."

   "No, no, George and Fred will definitely not win me." Lee Jordan giggled.

   "Did you make some strange cards and mix them into your own deck?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan suspiciously, with an expression that you wouldn't cheat again.

   "Do you think I look like that?" Lee Jordan protested dissatisfied.

   "It seems that you haven't done that. What happened to the Avada Kedavra card last time?" Fred stared at Lee Jordan with contempt.

"Ahem, that card, I just used it to test if I want to add the Unforgivable Curse." Lee Jordan coughed lightly and explained, "However, it doesn't seem very suitable. The card was removed from the deck."

"No, I'll modify the card content of Avada Kedavra later." Albert thought for a while and said, "If you don't defeat your opponent with the Avada Kedavra card, use this card Whoever has the card will lose the game outright."

   "Why?" The three asked in unison.

"Because wizards who use the Avada Kedavra curse will be caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and imprisoned in Azkaban Prison!" Albert said as a matter of course: "This is a card for the dark wizard camp. Players of this camp will not lose the game directly if they fail to win the game after using the Avada Kedavra card, but each round, his opponent will have an Auror card to join On the field, it lasts for three rounds."

   "Did the black wizard be hunted down by Aurors after using the Unforgivable Curse? This is very interesting." Li Qiaodan felt that this idea was very good, and immediately took out his notebook to write down the idea mentioned by Albert.

   "Will there be a Ministry of Magic camp in the future?" Fred said affirmatively, "Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and dark wizards?"

"If possible, there will also be wizards, goblins and magical creatures cards." Albert explained, "Of course, the playing methods are also different, such as your Quidditch deck, my spell deck. "

   "Why do my professors always lose?" George couldn't help protesting, "Your setting is unreasonable."

   "George, you have too many high-star cards." Fred said, covering his face. "The Gaoxing card can only be used in the later stage, and if you can't use it in the early stage, you will naturally lose."

"Yes, what Fred said is right." Lee Jordan nodded in agreement, "You actually put three ten-star Dumbledores in the deck, and you can't use them until at least the tenth round. Zhang is already enough, you actually put three in full, what are you trying to do?"

   "After the tenth round, you won't be able to beat me." George said.

   "Actually, it's hard for you to persist until then." Fred always wanted to complain about George's idea of ​​holding back his big move.

   "How about we increase the player's HP to thirty?" George suggested.

   "Fifteen to twenty is enough." Lee Jordan shook his head and vetoed, "You should know how to cooperate. For Albert, who specializes in using spells, you should get a card to restrain him."

   "Isn't there?" Albert reminded, "Quidditch competition ban."

   Players are prohibited from using spells during the Quidditch match. In the next three rounds, no spells can be used on the court. The attack of the Quidditch players present is +1.

  Fred’s cards are all Quidditch cards, so three cards are prepared for this card, but when he plays cards with Albert, he still can’t win.

   "What are you doing?" Angelina walked towards this side, looked at the four people who didn't know what they were doing together, and asked curiously.

   "Playing cards, a card game invented by Albert." Fred explained casually.

   "Card game, what is that?" Angelina looked at the cards on the table with a puzzled face. She had never heard of such a game in the wizarding world.

  George handed a card to Angelina, who was stunned after reading it, because she found that George's name was actually written on the card.

   "The number next to the sword symbol is the attack power, the number next to the heart symbol is the blood volume, and the line below is the effect of that card." Albert explained.

   "Do you want to play a game too?" Fred said with a smile, "My card is the same as George's. This is Lee Jordan's card, and Albert is this one."

   "It's interesting." Angelina put down Lee Jordan's card and asked curiously, "Why do you use real names?"

   "This is Albert's inspiration from the chocolate frog card." Fred explained, "If you want your own card, you can ask Albert to get one for you."

   "Can you?" Angelina looked at Albert.

   "Of course no problem." Albert took out a blank card from his notebook, took out a pen and began to fill in the card. The blood volume and attack were the same as that of Li Jordan. However, Angelina's card effect is leading: she is the first to score 10 points in the Quidditch match, which greatly boosts morale, and all teammates attack +1 in this round of competition.

   “I love this!” Angelina said with a smile. If you can score first in a Quidditch game, it will undoubtedly boost morale.

   "Do you want to play a game?" Fred handed his card to Angelina.

  Angelina took the deck and drew another card, but she was still an acquaintance.

"Violent Hitter: Hit an enemy hard with a bat, causing 2 points of damage. When Erin and Mark appear on the field at the same time, each round will cause 2 points of damage to an enemy." Angelina whispered Irene couldn't help laughing out loud after seeing the card effect. She felt that this game might be more interesting than expected, so she asked, "How do you play this game?"

   A few minutes later, Angelina simply lost to Albert.

   "I actually lost." Angelina felt very interesting about this unfamiliar game, and she could see that Albert's deck was completely different from Fred's deck.

   "I told you earlier, don't play with Albert." Lee Jordan reminded, "It's normal for you to lose to him. It is estimated that no one can beat him now."

   "Why?" Angelina asked puzzled.

   "Because he invented this game." Fred said helplessly, "No one can beat him until we figure out the combination of cards and the gameplay."

   "That's right, how dare you still have the nerve to play cards with us here?" Angelina complained, glaring at Albert.

   "It seems that you took the initiative to ask me to play cards." Albert shrugged helplessly, "I asked you to play cards with George."

   "Oh, is that so, George, let's play a game." Angelina extended an invitation to George.

  …

   A few minutes later, George sat down on a chair with a dejected look on his face, with the expression that I don't want to play cards anymore.

   "I told you earlier, if you don't change some of your high-star cards, you will definitely lose." Lee Jordan said to George speechlessly.

   "However, I kind of understand Albert's well-intentioned efforts." Fred said suddenly.

"What's the meaning?"

   "Let Angelina find confidence."

   "It's so pitiful." The two looked at George in unison, showing their original expressions.

   "Hey, what are your expressions?" George couldn't help protesting

   "What are you doing?" At this moment, Charlie came over with a notice, ready to post the notice of Quidditch selection on the Gryffindor bulletin board.

   "Play a card game." Angelina smiled and handed Charlie's card over.

"Card game, what is that?" Charlie took what Angelina handed over suspiciously, glanced at the content, and read it softly: "Captain Devil: After a long period of training in hell, all players on the field Teammate attack +1?"

  Wood next to him couldn't help laughing out loud.

   "It seems that my training is still too easy." Charlie glared at the four of Albert with ill intentions.

   "Ahem, these cards are all made by Albert." Fred shirked responsibility very unscrupulously.

   "That's right, they were all made by Albert." George immediately connected.

   "Captain Devil is what Fred and George insisted on using. They think this is more appropriate." Albert stabbed the two of them mercilessly.

   "Do you have my card?" Wood asked curiously.

   "Here's this one." Fred quickly changed the subject, "Goalkeeper, help a designated teammate block two damage."

  Wood is quite satisfied with his cards, but he found that most of the players' names can be found in Fred's card deck, just...

   "Why only Gryffindor?" Wood looked at Albert suspiciously and asked.

   "There are no cards from other colleges at the moment." Albert nodded and said, "I will consider making them in the future. However, time is limited, and I am only making these cards at the moment."

   "Are there any professors in the school?" Angelina asked curiously, "How many deans' cards?"

Um,

   "Most of them," Fred handed Snape's card to Angelina, who couldn't help laughing.

  The effect of the head of Slytherin is, "Gaze from behind: You are being watched, your back is cold, it is best to do nothing, and the designated target's attack power is reduced to zero."

   "Ahem, do you mean that?" Lee Jordan coughed, trying to put on Snape's usual voice, which caused several people present to burst out laughing.

  It seems that everyone has been stared from behind by the Potions Professor on weekdays.
