Chapter 110 - 110- professor’s opinions and Duels

Name:Harry Potter But AU??? Author:DAFR
Filius's POV

As Filius watched the first official card duel, he couldn't help but smile with astonishment as he thought about the amazing job four of his students did.

Yes, he knew the whole group who created this sophisticated magic and amazing game, after all, they came to him with it the other day for support.

Flashback

"Professor?" "Mr. Peverel, come in, come in, I haven't seen you for a long time, came for a magical trouble or philosophical question this time?" Yet, as his favorite student came, three more came right after.

"Miss Lovegood, Messrs Weasley, what a surprise, and to see you all together, I hope it isn't because of a fight?" Filius asked worryingly, as he truly loved those four students he really hoped they didn't fight, especially if the reason is as dumb as houses.

"No, professor." Miss Lovegood said, making the miniature man sigh in relief. "We are actually here as the four of us created something we hope you would endorse."

"Really? The four of you? Call me intrigued." And he truly was, those four students were each an amazing mind on its own, even if you can't really see it with the twins as they are constantly together.

"Yes, we created a magical card game that can not only be fun, but also be used in the school to solve conflicts, teach, and make friends throughout the houses and the years."

"Really?" He truly felt doubtful "how so?"

"Well, it's called monster cards duels and the rules are...." as the professor heard the rules and saw a fake duel for demonstration, he begun to understand how it would teach. As students use the cards they own they have to explain their affects for them to work, therefore making both them and their opponents know the information on the card, that, plus the need to research your cards for not only spacial affects that aren't written but for the chance of getting new, better cards for free, would make them study on their own about magic, creatures and potions.

In addition to that, not only would this game teach them strategy, it would make them use more of their magic each day, to maintain their illusions till the end of the duel, therefore strengthening their magic in the long run, and without using any magic on their fellow students.

All in all, he could only say one thing about this "Amazing! Incredible! This game would truly help this school become the greatest school In Europe again!"

"So, will you help us?" One of the twins asked

"Of course I would! Well... only if you promise me two things." Filius said, feeling mischievous

"What?" The other twin asked

"Well the first is creating a special deck for me, something focused on charms and Ravenclaw."

"Sure, how about I will create 15 charms magic cards? And maybe 15 duelist monster cards and 10 Ravenclaw's riddle's traps?" Miss Lovegood said, starting to think about the cards "Standard 40, on which you can add 20 more cards of your choosing at a later date."

"That would great, miss Lovegood, as for my second request, would you mind creating a card of me?" The mischievous in his eyes probably made them sparkle as much as Dumbledore's does, yet the ones he saw in his students' eyes even surpassed that.

"Who to say we didn't?"

End flashback

After that he went to the headmaster's office where he explained the game and it's consequences, mentioning only the Weasley twins as the creators, as asked by the two Slytherin students, and by the end of it the professor agreed it's an excellent way to use rivalry, friendship and time of rest to teach the students and agreed to it.

And now, not a day later, he not only saw the first card duel, but had the chance to win a card of himself. He couldn't help but be called for his turn.

Minerva's POV

When Minerva heard the twins' idea of the game for the first time she wanted to yell at them, the only reason she didn't is the whisper of the headmaster, as she saw the illusions that were created she felt as if her face became purple, as not only those illusions were extremely well done, something that said a lot of the creators skill in transfiguration, the knowledge that was put in the cards was on a level she expected from magizoologists, charm masters and a top class seventh year's students in potion class, which meant the only reason they were not doing well in school is that they didn't care, it's only when she saw the game proceeds, the combinations that the students preformed, and the excitement she saw on the students face as they yelled "Oh, I didn't know you could use those spells like that." And "I want to learn this spell in real life." That she calmed down, maybe, just maybe, the twins deserved a break.

Bathsheda's POV

As much as Bathsheda wanted to focus on the duels, to watch first and second years use rune traps and get excited about third year and their choices, she couldn't, not her and not Septima, both of them were focused on the disks they got, the disk was a simple product a fourth year, maybe advanced third year could create when you only look about the runes, yet a masterpiece maybe a seventh year could create for their graduation project when you look at the arithmancy, as no matter how both of them looked, the ability to create such perfect illusions of only two dimensional cards in three dimensions is incredible, and to make it on more then 300 different products without mistakes? They needed to talk with the twins, they can't waste their time doing this! They can change the magical world!

Severus's POV

As the 10 students who got the first 10 spots were left, still with not one teacher called to the stage, Severus's patient was long gone, wasn't the reason each professor got a special deck is so they would have a chance to get their card, he wasn't willing to be humiliated by having an illusion of his fight in a children's game, especially not when the one who apparently won his card was one Lee Jordan, fighting for a Gryffindor, can there be anything more humiliating?

Just as he was about to yell at the demon twins, one of them said "Now that you got to the top 10, now that you got your cards, it's time to see if you deserve them! And whose better to see how you use a card about the professors, then the professors themselves!" The yelling the crowd did was almost as bad as in a quidditch game.

"Professors, if you may?" Each one of the professors whose card is on the stake went into the quidditch field, where all the duels happen, with the exception of Sybill, who hasn't came out from her tower.

"As professor Trelawney didn't come, would Professor Potter replace her?"

As Lily came down from the audience, she looked as graceful as she did for the last 12 years, a sharp contrast to how she used to be when they were friends, and as much as it hurt to admit, he once again had to, his old friend is dead.

As he used Occlumency to suppress his emotions, he focused on the game, he had to win it.

Lupin's POV

Even as his duel started he was in a state of panic, could it be? Could they know? That he is a monster, a werewolf? How? How could they? Yet, as he remembered looking into his cards he saw every monster he could think they talked about in class, except two, vampires and werewolves, and with the area magic he got - full moon, he knew they must have known, who does that? Who jokes about those kind of stuff? Or is it blackmail? It doesn't matter right now, all that matters is win the duel. "I use the magic card Marauder's Map, this artifact let me look in your cards as long as I know it's activation words, and throw one of them to the cemetery as long as I know the other- I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.- show me your cards" the illusion showed the map being activated as if it was the real map, choosing to throw away the protego trap, he called "protego card! Mischief managed"

Both the werewolf and the map? He really needed to know who told the twins all his secrets

Lily's POV

As she dueled she couldn't help but look at her hand, she really liked the defensive warrior she just got- "the boy who lived" while this card has no attack points, and it's defense power is lame, it has a special ability, when you attack this card you have to attack him twice to destroy it, and in the second time you can instead sacrifice a different card in your hand, the next turn She would put him on the field.

"Now I summon destiny child, the fate seer, come out Professor Trelawney" as she saw the illusion of the woman who created the prophecy that endangered her son she couldn't help but get pissed, yet as she saw the attack points the illusion had she smiled, she's going to destroy it.

"I activates the special ability Professor Trelawney possess, 'fate's gamble', I choose one of your cards, if it a monster you have to tell me it's name- and I choose this." He pointed toward "the boy who lived" card, "yes, it's a monster" "great, now I can choose whether it's attack points or defense are higher, if I'm right, it goes to the cemetery and your life points get knocked down by the number of stars that are on the card multiplied by 400- and I say defense points."

It was the first and last game of monster card duels she would ever play.

Albus' POV

When Albus first heard about the game just last night he thought it was a joke and when he heard the Weasley twins are responsible for that he was sure, and when just the next day they announced it and explained the rules, he just thought that even if it wasn't, it would fore sure be badly made, yet as he saw game after game, he couldn't help but be impressed, the illusions were great, it was informative, and most of all, it was fun, both to watch and to play, the only downside is that it took about 5% of the magic of an average student for a game, even so, each student had at most five games in a tournament of almost 300 students, so it won't tire them too much, nor would it make their magic grow too much as long as they play it in moderation.

Now he just need two things- to win this game so he would own the Dumbledore card, and make sure the twins use this kind of influence for good, just like how he made sure Freddo Frindecle, the creator of the chocolate frogs put only good people on it, after all, we wouldn't want people searching for a Voldemort card, right?

Harry's POV

As the energy of all the students who played today gathered around the philosopher's stone, Harry was about to do his first ritual, this ritual wasn't extremely exhausting, nor was it heavy with magic, the only thing that was needed is the magical energy of a hundred different people that was willingly given, and the more people who gave it, the better.

This ritual, before he modified it, was about putting the breath of life inside a golem, thus creating a self sustaining magical guardian that would serve the first person it sees as its master.

As you might guess, Harry was doing the ritual on the code of the AI he created after more then 6 months work, as he didn't want any chance of it betraying him, only after doing that and the restraining codes he put inside the AI already would he feel safe enough to let it work, and now, the first artificial intelligence in the world, the one that would revolutionize the magical world from its shadows, is about to be created
