Chapter 181 New People
Things went even more smoothly than Albert expected.
However, Albert was surprised that there was no panel task this time. In the past, when encountering this kind of thing, the panel task would usually appear first. Why does it feel a bit...unaccustomed?
Albert stopped in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady and checked the mission panel. Sure enough, there was still only the **** mission of picking up gold.
"Do you want to go in?" The fat lady couldn't help but asked, impatiently waiting.
“Oh, sorry. The password is: Singer.”
After Albert spoke the password, the portrait of the Fat Lady unscrewed, revealing the passage hidden behind it.
As soon as Albert entered the common room, he heard someone calling him.
It’s George.
He was at the table watching Fred play wizard cards with Lee Jordan.
“How is it?” Albert asked.
“George and I became the beaters, Angelina also successfully became the pursuer, Wood was the keeper, and Charlie was the seeker.” George said, “The other two seekers are Danny and Paris.”
“As expected.” Albert nodded.
"Alia Spinnet has been selected as a backup pursuer, as well as first-year Katie Bell, and Cormac McLaggen has been selected as a backup goalkeeper. Of course, you also have to count your unreliable Seeker candidate." George couldn't help but ask, "How are you doing over there? What does Dumbledore want from you?"
"That happened last time. However, Mr. Hertok agreed to help me solve the problem." Albert explained casually, turning his head to the girl next to him and said, "Congratulations on getting your wish, Angelina."
“Thank you.” Angelina said with a smile, “But I didn’t expect you didn’t go.”
“I have other things to be busy with,” Albert said.
“Alia is flying well.” Angelina pulled her friend and said, “Unfortunately, if she had gone to practice together last semester, she would definitely have become an official player this year.”
"Practice more this year, and you can play next year." Albert paused, and then said: "I remember Katie Bell is a girl. It seems that Gryffindor's chasers will have a long time. It's been a while since the girls played. I'd say it's an extremely rare occurrence."
"Indeed." George nodded in agreement, "Don't let the time come when everyone is on the field and you are the only one who is still on the bench."
"Isn't this great? You can be lazy." Albert joked: "However, I know some people are expected to be on the waiting list for a long time."
“Who?” George asked.
“Cormac McLagan.”
Albert noticed that when he mentioned the name, some eyes were cast in this direction. Albert turned his head and looked at Cormac McLaggen.
“Why?” George asked puzzledly.
"Stupid!" Albert reminded rather speechlessly: "Wood will be the next Quidditch captain, and his goalkeeper position is expected to last until graduation, so there is no need to choose an alternate. However, Charlie probably wants to keep a backup just in case to prevent the bad things like last year from happening again."
“That makes sense.” Fred suddenly said, “Would you like a game?”
"Okay!" Albert said, "But my cards are in the dormitory."
"I didn't talk to you, just go and stay for a while." Fred waved his hand towards Albert with a look of disgust on his face and said: "Now, no one wants to play cards with you anymore, go aside by yourself Develop more cards and come out, but there are still too few cards now.”
“Someday, I’ll make a pair myself.” Angelina took the card handed over by Lee Jordan, “This game is much more interesting than Gobstone, but the cards are a bit rough.”
“What is that?” Angelina was a little surprised.
“Well, it’s just like the name says, a loose club.” Albert raised his finger and pointed at the people around him and said, “Currently, there are only four of us.”
“What is this club for?” Angelina asked curiously, “To play wizard cards together?”
"Um, how should I say it?" Albert thought for a while before answering her question: "It should be said that the wizard card enthusiasts' club meets once every month on the last weekend. We will update our card library and announce it. More complete wizard card game rules, that’s it.”
“What did you just decide?” Li Qiaodan asked.
“No, it was decided on the train?” Albert shook his head.
“How come I don’t know?” George didn’t believe it.
“I didn’t say at that time that promoting this game was an inevitable process.” Albert started talking nonsense again.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, Albert must be deceiving you again.” Fred played his card and said to Angelina, “It’s your turn.”
“Sure enough, it’s like this again.” Li Qiaodan showed an expression like “I knew it would be like this.”
"You guys go on, I still have things to do. If you have any suggestions on games, just write them down." Albert then looked at Aaliya, who was watching the two playing cards, and asked, "Do you want it too?"
“What do you want?” Aaliya didn’t understand what Albert said.
“My own cards.” Albert explained.
Aaliyah asked in surprise, "Is it okay?"
"Of course, wait a minute." Albert returned to the dormitory and filled out a card for Aaliya.
The effect is alternate: every time a Quidditch player card is sent to the graveyard, the blood volume +1.
“Why not attack?” Fred couldn’t help complaining.
"The game must be balanced. Okay, you guys can play by yourselves, and I have to go to the Transformation Club." Albert didn't forget about the Transformation Club. Although he was already late, he still had to go there.
"See you later. When you come back, stop by the kitchen to get some midnight snacks." Fred suddenly shouted to Albert.
“Not going the right way.” Albert rolled his eyes and walked out towards the entrance of the common room.
By the time he arrived at the sixth floor of the castle and passed the witch's portrait to the door of Classroom 21, the Transfiguration Club had already started for more than half an hour.
Albert hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, then opened the door and walked in.
The number of chairs in the Metamorphosis Club is one less, and some of the members have also been replaced.
In addition to Katrina, Digory also joined the Transformation Club.
"Sit down, Mr. Anderson, we are just halfway through our lecture." Professor McGonagall turned her head to look at Albert and motioned for him to take a seat.
Albert walked towards Field, sat on the vacant armchair, and looked at Katrina and Digory. The former used a simple small wooden chair, and the latter used a three-legged stool.
Compared with others, it is too shabby.
However, given their level of transformation, they are pretty good.
Professor McGonagall was explaining the art of transformation. She turned a chair into a dachshund and made it run around in circles.
This is a very advanced form of transformation magic, which is a bit difficult for the newcomers. Katrina and Diggory were both a little confused after hearing it.
