Chapter 440 Cheering for Quirrell
Snape did not cause trouble to Albert after all, which made many Slytherin students feel incredible. The prophecy seemed to have been revealed, and life in the school returned to its previous calm.
When everyone was idle and bored, Flint and his friends, who had been holding back for several months, finally took action. Kenneth Toler became a topic of conversation again. He was found passed out in the boys' bathroom. , his pants were taken away.
Fortunately, the other party didn’t take away the underwear together.
This incident once again caused a sensation in the entire Hogwarts. When Kenneth Toller woke up from his coma, his face was purple from holding back, and he looked like he wanted to kill someone. Of course he knew who did it, and he had already started sharpening his sword to get revenge on the other party.
He went to Albert for help, but Albert secretly hinted to him that he could go to the Weasley twins for help.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who were not too concerned about the matter, offered to teach him how to use the Disillusionment Curse.
As long as you know how to use the Disillusionment Curse, it will be much easier to take revenge.
As for Albert?
He is still busy with his own affairs, and there is one more thing that has caught his attention recently. Quirrell's physical condition seems to be getting worse and worse. He does look increasingly pale and thin, a side effect of being possessed by Voldemort. It was already obvious that Albert realized that his time might be running out.
The task of "Good Student" has now reached 89/100. Although it is almost completed, Albert knows that he must speed up and complete the task before Quirrell completely collapses.
The reward for this mission is 10,000 experience points, 1 skill point, and a certain specified skill from the target. If he fails to complete it, he will probably cry on his pillow at night.
So, in the past few days, Quirrell has been in a bad mood. He found that he could meet Albert every day, and he would always appear in front of him like a ghost without warning, along with his question.
Moreover, there were still questions that Quirrell couldn't refuse, because most of these questions came from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Every time Professor Quirrell discovered that Albert had appeared, his face could not help but tremble. He was almost going crazy with the pressure, but he couldn't lose his temper at Albert, lest his pretense of character collapse.
“What are you doing here?”
When Albert was about to go find Professor Quirrell again, he found Harry, Ron and Hermione trying to enter the restricted corridor on the fourth floor, and called out to them.
He walked over quickly and found that the pale Professor Quirrell had walked away quickly.
"We just..." Ron was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Professor Quirrell seems to be avoiding you, I heard..." Hermione tried to divert Albert's attention.
“Don’t change the subject.” Albert looked at the guilty trio and said, “Wasn’t the last case enough?”
"What are you doing here? Are you trying to break into the restricted corridor?" Percy Weasley appeared quietly like a ghost.
"No, we just passed by and were discussing the Wizarding Card Competition." Albert smiled and looked at Percy and casually changed the topic: "How is your review for the O.w.Ls exam going?"
"It's okay. I can definitely get all the twelve certificates." Percy's eyes swept over Ron, Harry and Hermione, and finally smiled at Albert and said, "I believe you can get it too." Twelve certificates.”
“I’ll think about it, but you know time is getting tighter now.”
Before leaving, Percy glared at Ron fiercely and warned: "Don't let me catch you trying to break into the restricted corridor, otherwise I will write to my mother and tell her about it and let her know that you have lost a leg because of it."
"That guy is still as annoying as ever." Ron made a face at Percy's back after he left, and he said to his companions, "Fred and George don't like Percy very much either."
Albert coughed, interrupted Ron, and said to the three of them: "Okay, I know what you want to do, and if you want to have your legs bitten off, I won't stop you, but I think If you become lame, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life. You must know that it is difficult to recover from a three-headed dog bite."
“We were just passing through.” Harry insisted.
"Okay, just passing by." When Albert turned around to leave, he was stopped by Ron.
“Is there anything else?”
“I heard that the winner of this Wizarding Card Competition will be awarded ten Galleons.” Ron took a deep breath with a slight vibrato in his voice.
"Yes, it's still ten galleons. It should be said that the winner's reward in every wizard card competition is ten galleons. If you are interested, you can sign up for the selection on the weekend." Albert smiled and encouraged, "Work hard, Even if you don’t win the Wizard Card Championship, there are good rewards for other rankings.”
"Are you really planning to participate in the Wizarding Card Competition?" Harry looked at Albert's leaving back and asked Ron, who was still a little excited next to him.
"Participate, why don't you participate? The champion has ten galleons." Ron clenched his fists and said with a little regret: "It's a pity, why not the wizard chess competition? Hermione, are you participating in the competition?"
"No, I won't participate in the competition." Hermione suddenly heard something and reminded: "Ron, it seems that participating in the wizard card competition requires an registration fee of two Sickles."
"What, two Sickles?" Ron opened his mouth in surprise and was suddenly speechless.
"Well, two Sickles, all wizards who enter the top 32 competition need to pay this amount." Hermione thought about the information she had obtained, and continued: "If many people sign up to participate, they will need to go through a round of screening. At present, Many people in the Wizard Card Club are preparing to participate in this competition, and the selection of 24 places started last week."
“Didn’t you say there are 32 places?” Ron asked in confusion.
“If you plan to participate, the top 8 players from the last Wizarding Card Competition do not need to be screened.”
“Isn’t it too late to sign up now?” Ron remembered Albert’s words and asked quickly.
"It's not too late." There was something Hermione didn't say. She felt that Ron wouldn't win the championship. There is no way, Ron's wizard card level is really bad.
“Ron.” Harry said suddenly.
“What’s the matter?” Ron asked absently.
“When did you join the Wizarding Card Club?” Harry organized his words.
"Last time we joined the Wizarding Card Club, have you forgotten?" Ron thought for a moment. He and Harry did join the Wizarding Card Club, but they almost didn't attend the end-of-month party after joining, and they didn't even have their own cards. No.
