A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 14 Let’s play cards

After the astronomy class, most of the little wizards who had been studying for a whole day were not in the mood to do their homework. They said "good night" to each other and went back to their dormitories.

Owen, who had just finished petting the cat, returned to the dormitory in a happy mood. His three roommates were all there.

"Owen, what did you find just now?" Draco asked lazily as he was flipping through his schoolbag.

"A cat," Owen put his schoolbag on the table and said honestly, "Maybe you don't know, but I've always wanted to have a cat."

"Do you think I believe it or not?" Draco's gray eyes glanced over, "Isn't your pet a rabbit? To be honest, those stupid and fragile animals can easily be picked up and eaten by other creatures in Hogwarts...

...By the way, why has your rabbit disappeared recently?"

"I'm dead of old age." Owen said casually. And, he was currently living and breathing in his wall-facing space, jumping around repeatedly.

"Oh, that's a good thing for it. It doesn't have to worry about it all day long. It's a very wise choice." Draco didn't feel at all that this topic might make the rabbit owner uncomfortable, and spoke the truth in a slow tone.

Owen glanced at him with a half-smile, but he didn't feel angry. He knew that Draco's original intention was not to poke people's pain points, but that he didn't think a rabbit was a big deal and took other people for granted.

I think so too. To put it bluntly, I have low emotional intelligence, and I am not very good at speaking human words. Well, I lack the beatings from society.

Draco took out a large bag of candies from his schoolbag and threw it on the round table in the middle of the dormitory. He raised his chin and said, "My mother always likes to send me a lot of candies, but she never forgets that I can't eat them at all.

There are so many. You can take these and eat them, or I will take them out and throw them away."

The slipknot on the candy bag unraveled, and you could see that it was filled with chocolate frogs, sizzling honey candies and frankincense nougat, as well as toad-shaped cream mints and exquisite sugar quills, many of which were unique to Duke Bee.

Some candies are quite expensive.

Owen threw the cards on the table, shook his head in a funny way and said, "Why do you always think of people so darkly? Am I someone who can use magic when playing cards?"

Irving also sat at the round table, took some sizzling honey candy and put it at hand, and said casually: "Eating candy at night can easily lead to tooth decay, cause obesity, and is not good for your health..."

Draco couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "I have collected several sets of these cards. If you want, I can give you a set."

After blurting out this sentence, Theodore first turned his head to look at Harry, then lowered his eyes and quickly looked away.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and flicked his fingers, and the playing cards that had been hidden in his palm appeared between his two fingers, seemingly appearing out of thin air. Then he flicked his fingers again, and the cards in his hand changed from red to red.

The Jack of Peach instantly turned into the Ace of Spades. Finally, Owen flicked his finger and the card disappeared.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the three little wizards, Owen demonstrated a dazzling shuffling technique. The playing cards jumped and danced in his hands as if they were alive, blooming smoothly like a tightly connected whole.

And blended together, it looks smooth and elegant, very aesthetic.

"Actually, you only need to throw them to Crabbe and Goyle. I'm sure they won't be wasted at all." Theodore Nott, who was sitting at the round table, put down the magic playing cards in his hand and took them with a smile.

A sugar quill is sucking in the mouth.

Although there is a high probability that those magic tricks will not be discovered by the three little wizards even if he uses them, a qualified magician should never step on the stage knowing that his magic has flaws. Well, this is very important.

"I don't want them to get any fatter," Draco glared at him and said slowly, "They're already big enough."

"Is this the reason why you haven't collected a set yet?" Draco replied without hesitation.

"I doubt your cards will change." Draco looked at Owen suspiciously, "My luck can't be so bad!"

Twenty minutes later, the three little wizards looked at Owen with blank eyes. They had never won a game. After seeing Owen start shuffling the cards again, the three people quickly shook their heads and said: "No more playing, no more playing, it's time to go to bed."

!”

"OK!"

"Okay, I knew you were secretly using magic!" Draco jumped up first, followed closely by Harry. The two of them held down Owen who was about to escape, and turned over the magic props he was carrying.

It's everywhere.

"Although my cards can prevent wizards from cheating to a certain extent, but..." Theodore also said cautiously.

"Oh, thank you." Harry, who was studying the Transfiguration Notes with a sullen expression, also raised his head, took a chocolate frog and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked at Agrippa's chocolate frog card in his hand with interest and thought.

My mood became much lighter.

At this time, the cards he threw on the table began to groan. The King of Hearts, who had always been dishonest and wanted to complain before, jumped up, covered his mouth, which was red from being pinched by Owen, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "

He cheated!"

Before he finished speaking, several people looked at him and said in unison: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

Theodore has a withdrawn character. Except for Draco and Blaise, whom he was familiar with before entering school, he has maintained a relationship with most people. Especially with Harry Potter, perhaps because his father once

It was because of the Death Eaters that he had always been distant, neither offending nor getting close to him, and this also represented the attitude of a few people in Slytherin House towards Harry.

Then, he moved his fingers casually, and Harry's chocolate frog card appeared out of thin air in his hand. He flicked the card on the table, but it turned into a small trump card.

Theodore watched this scene with his shoulders crossed, and then picked up the cards on the table with some confusion, suspecting that he had bought fakes. He took out his wand and chanted a spell at the King of Hearts, and the King yelled angrily.

, exploded with a "boom", and smoked Theodore's pale cheeks into black coal.

Owen blinked and took Theodore's magic playing card. The pictures on it moved around very actively, flashing with colorful light and shadow effects, and looked extremely gorgeous.

"Want to play cards?" Owen smiled mysteriously and closed the cards in his hand with a snap. After shuffling them for a long time, the order was actually not disordered at all.

"Uh, transfiguration?" Harry had a flash of inspiration and thought he had found the truth.

Owen showed his empty hands to everyone, then spread them out, blinked his dark eyes with a smile, and said: "Unfortunately, my hands are still too small, so I can't do many tricks."

"Don't you know that the most interesting thing about collecting Chocolate Frog cards is the process of collecting them?" Theodore said. He and Draco were friends before entering school - after all, their fathers were once mascots under the same boss.

——That’s why I don’t speak politely.

"Well, it's really good at preventing cheating..." Theodore blew out a puff of black smoke and rolled his eyes with his afro.

After a period of commotion, the dormitory finally returned to tranquility as Owen smiled and begged for mercy.

The giant squid outside the window was swinging its huge tentacles in the lake water, and an eye with wavy pupils flashed past.

The little wizards who were tired from playing climbed onto the bed one after another and fell into sleep.
