This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Both Gwent and Wizards start on the same day.

February 6th, Saturday.

The grade competition and college competition will be held first, followed by the ranking competition to eliminate the players, and finally the points-based finals for the promoted players.

In terms of the number of applicants, almost 80% of students chose Gwent, which is more accessible to the people.

Pure-blooded wizards are always in the minority.

Although the number of Muggle-born wizards is about the same, mixed-blood wizards are the largest group.

Compared with pure-blood wizards in history, they prefer famous Hogwarts alumni, cute magical creatures, and officials who have made great contributions to the Ministry of Magic.

Not only can you learn interesting historical knowledge, but it is also a politically correct choice.

So, is it true that only 20% of students signed up for the Wizard Card?

It's a pity that there are actually less than 100 people.

Although the prize was 50,000 gold galleons, ten times that of Gwent, no students from outside the Snake Academy signed up.

They are not all wealthy, and having half of it is enough to give them face.

Registration ends on Friday.

Fred and George led several Slytherin students into the Court of Owls activity room with smiles on their faces.

Thanks to their unremitting "lobbying" efforts, these are the last few students who have not signed up for the campus competition.

Most of them are of course voluntary, and a few are just not so "voluntary."

"Johnny, I guarantee that after you sign up, your textbooks will never disappear again."

"Aggert, as long as you write your name on it, I believe you will never step on a banana peel again.

After all, Hogwarts is still a school, and earning the Order of Merlin Level 2 is already enough to go sideways.

After all, students who are as ignorant as Black Swan are only a very small number of cases.

But outside the campus, Gwent's sales are dwindling, while Wizards is hitting new highs every minute.

Such a stark contrast made Hermione realize the importance of power.

It's okay to fight in school, but when you step out of the ivory tower, you can't see the possibility of winning.

When the last student signed up, it was time for Vincent to do something.

He was away from the castle all day Saturday.

In the morning, I asked Mr. Borgin to sell some wizard cards that are currently of high value.

Then eat something to replenish your strength before going to Diagon Alley and telling Sam to look at the store carefully.

Finally, I visited the Greengrass family in the afternoon.

Restman agreed to develop the Gwent market throughout Europe without even thinking about it.

Whether it was because of trust or repayment, Vincent could not let him lose money in vain.

"Uncle Restman, what is your impression of Germany?"

"Extreme and fraught with danger."

Durmstrang does not prohibit the study of dark magic. In the eyes of the more conservative wizards, it is a training academy for dark wizards.

There are two examples of excessive exposure to dark magic. One is Grindelwald who failed in the revolution and was imprisoned in Nurmengard, and the other is Voldemort who tried to conquer everything.

I have the impression that the German magic world is very dangerous. If there is a conflict, it will probably start with a poison curse and end with a curse second only to the Unforgivable Curse.

Restman was only worried for a moment.

As the price of extending the life of my little daughter, no matter how big a sacrifice you make, it is worth it.

Vincent could see his determination;

"My teacher has many acquaintances in Germany. If my uncle encounters any trouble, he can call them for help at any time."

Before Restman was a list of contact information.

The Wellesleys, the Hermanns, the Lanners, the Lenskis...

Their power was not large, but they once had a resounding common identity:

Descendants of the elders of the Wu Cui Party.

“This teacher of yours——” Restman put down the list, “shouldn’t it be Nico Flamel?”

"Yes, I have two old—two mentors."

Before the emergence of magic schools, wizards passed down magic as mentors and apprentices.

The quality of teaching varies, but it is one-to-one specialized instruction.

With a good mentor, the apprentice has already won at the starting line.

One of them is a legendary alchemist, and the other is certainly not far behind.

Dumbledore couldn't possibly have connections with the Wiccan Party, so there was only one answer.

Restman tried to calm his breathing down.

"Vincent, I first have to confirm what you really think."

"Uncle, I prefer to resolve conflicts through peaceful means than war."

War is a last resort, not a way to demonstrate strength.

Vincent sighed softly, "As long as the "Law of Secrecy" continues to exist, the living scope of wizards will only shrink a little bit.

I am a Muggle-born wizard, and I know very well how ‘others’ will be treated…”

If the numbers are not equal, the victory will only be a miserable victory.

What's more, just like the proportion of students, the majority of adult wizards have always been mixed.

Grindelwald is a living lesson.

Before waging war against Muggles, wizards first had to fight a civil war.

Although they were able to defeat Dumbledore, the Wiccan Party did not have much power after the victory.

"I won't make the same mistake again, Uncle Restman."

His determination is the same.

Restman barely hesitated, "Count him as an uncle, Vincent."

Starting from France and Germany, and then cleaning up the ones in the UK, the sphere of influence can be said to cover most of Europe.

Then it is further infiltration...

"Uncle, see you in the summer vacation."

"Okay."

After returning to school, the first day of the Gwent competition has ended.

In the first grade, Ginny and Colin advanced.

Tomorrow is the second grade competition, and there are also only two qualifying spots.

During the time when Vincent was out, Harry and Ron have been playing cards.

James and Alfred who signed up are hanging photos.

Judging from the number, it is estimated that they will occupy the entire wall.

"I say, let's not take such photos."

Closer to the ceiling, there is a photo of Vincent holding a blue fat man and a Hello Kitty doll.

Next to it is a photo of him being chased by a school of fish on the seabed, and below is a photo of him staring blankly in a Muggle mall.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you will find that he has been secretly photographed so many times.

James put his hands on his hips, "Old Vin, you don't understand this, right?

There must be photos that show off, and there must also be photos that can bring people closer."

Luckily, there were no embarrassing photos.

It's not that he didn't want to take photos, but there was no chance at all.

The few photos of Hermione and Daphne laughing at him were the limit of what he could take.

"Whatever you want." Vincent nodded at the little lion of the same grade who was playing cards.

"By the way, you don't plan to prepare for tomorrow's game?"

Alfred shrugged, "You and Hermione are not planning to participate, so I don't need to tell you who is most likely to advance, right?"

Second grade - Ron, who should be the most short of money in the whole college, is a rare strategic player who does not rely on luck, but purely on operations.

People like Harry, who play when they draw good cards, can lose to Neville several times in a row when they are unlucky.

If I guessed correctly, Gryffindor might have a brother game.

Not Fred and George, but Percy and Ron.
