Chapter 299： Unlawful assembly?

Chapter 299 Illegal assembly?

 After the first Wizarding Card Competition began, Albert began to fulfill his duties as a referee responsibly.

There is no way, if no one is watching, the wizard card game will probably become a mess.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all forced to do hard labor. It seemed a bit unreasonable not to be a referee.

 The level of the first knockout round was really low, which was really eye-catching.

 The contestants are from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff respectively. Neither side is very familiar with the rules of wizard cards. It can best be described as novices pecking each other. Because I am not familiar with the rules of wizard cards, I often make some low-level mistakes.

Albert looked so embarrassed that he had the urge to cover his face.

The people watching were watching with great interest, whispering that so and so made a mistake again. If the contestants were all of this level, I might be able to win the championship.

Some talkative onlookers would point out the mistakes made by the players and laugh at them in a low voice, why did they sign up for the wizard card competition when they didn't even understand the rules of the game.

The Hufflepuff boy who made frequent mistakes turned red in the face. Amidst everyone's whispers, he finally gave up and continued the game, quickly got into the crowd and disappeared.

 “What are these things?”

Albert looked at the other party's leaving voice and couldn't help but shake his head. The Hufflepuff student probably came here to try his luck. In normal times, I haven't played Wizard Cards with other people a few times. Not to mention that my skills are very poor, I actually don't understand the rules of Wizard Cards. I really don't know what kind of mood he has in participating in this Wizard Card Competition.

 Another Gryffindor student also looked at his opponent's leaving back, turned to look at Albert and asked: "Did I win?"

 “Yes, your opponent abstains and you win.”

Albert ticked the parchment, then called the next pair of players, and changed the cards in the deck.

The elimination round was much faster than Albert expected, and the Hufflepuff boy was definitely not the only contestant who didn't understand the rules of wizard cards.

 Sometimes, we may even do something that makes people laugh or cry.

“You should have used another spell card, otherwise he would have lost.”

 It wasn’t just someone who couldn’t help but interject, causing one side to lose the game.

 Most of the audience present looked towards the owner of the voice.

"Please stay quiet and don't interfere with other people's games. This is the most basic courtesy of the audience." Albert looked at the senior student who spoke unkindly.

The man was stunned for a moment, his face was red and he didn't refute, otherwise he would be telling everyone that he was an impolite person.

"Please don't interfere with the game." Albert said to the surrounding audience, "Also, the game just now will be restarted after three rounds."

 halfway through the elimination round, Albert also discovered that most students were not very good at playing wizard cards. A game only lasted a few minutes at most. The more powerful players could always win two games in a row to defeat their opponents.

 Most of the players who stood out in the end were acquaintances of Albert, and only those who often smoked and played cards together could have an advantage in the competition.

If we say that the most exciting wizard card game is the duel between Zannah and Katrina, many people went over to watch this evenly matched duel.

 Albert simply abandoned his refereeing duties and ran over to watch the game.

 In the end, Katrina lost.

"Wonderful game." Albert began to applaud, and the others were stunned and began to applaud.

Katrina was very depressed. She originally thought it would be easy to win the championship, but she ended up losing the game because her deck was drawn first.

As long as she lasts one more round, she can definitely defeat Shanna.

 Unfortunately, she has already lost and was eliminated in the first round.

“Albert has an opponent, and I look forward to you defeating him.” George smiled and said to Shanna, “Currently, you are the seed player most likely to win the championship.”

Albert was speechless immediately. The competition has just begun. Are you really not afraid of something happening if you breastfeed like this?

"What are you doing here? Let's disperse. Don't all crowd in here."

An inappropriate voice sounded outside the crowd of onlookers. Filch pushed aside the crowd and walked towards this direction, wanting to see clearly what this group of people were doing.

 “Sir, what’s the matter?” Albert asked with a frown.

 “I got a tip that someone was holding an illegal assembly here.”

 Filch squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and came over, his eyes immediately fixed on Fred and George, his saggy cheeks trembling with excitement.

“And all of you, please disperse, don’t crowd here.” He said to the crowd around him.

"what happened?"

Fred, George and Lee Jordan also came over. When they saw Filch, they all frowned. This guy appeared here, and he obviously had no good intentions.

Moreover, if Filch insists that they are an illegal assembly, they really have no good solution, and the game will become a joke. This is definitely not an ending that the three of them want to see.

"fine."

Albert calmed the three of them, turned to look at Filch, and said calmly: "Illegal assembly? Are you sure your information is correct and you haven't been deceived?"

"What do you mean?" Filch's tone was unkind, his eyes fixed on Albert.

"The gathering of the Wizarding Card Club has been agreed and approved by Principal Dumbledore from the beginning." Albert explained with a smile: "Our gathering is legal, legal from the beginning. If you don't believe it, I have Signature of the principal."

 Albert reached into his pocket and took out a roll of parchment and handed it to the other party.

Filch took the parchment and glanced at the contents. His face suddenly darkened, like a child who heard that Halloween was cancelled.

"The Wizard Card Club was established with the consent of the principal. I think the guy who provided you with information must be deliberately looking for trouble."

Albert stared straight into Filch's eyes, trying to find the person's name from him.

Filch walked away in a huff.

This dramatic scene made everyone talk about it. It had been a long time since they had seen Filch deflated.

 “When did you prepare the parchment?” Fred asked softly.

"Of course this thing is true, and my words are naturally true." Albert glanced at Fred and said calmly: "The Wizard Card Club has been approved by the principal, and the signature on the parchment is also true. This The activity is conducive to the unity and friendship of students, so how could the principal not approve it?"

 In fact, the parchment was prepared to prevent a certain professor from coming to cause trouble for them. Although the chance was slim, Albert still took precautions.

 After all, some people’s moral integrity is indeed a bit low.

“Who provided information to Filch?” Li Qiaodan said with a sullen face, ready to settle the score with that person.

 The first Wizarding Card Competition is of great significance to the four of them, and they will never tolerate anyone ruining it, let alone turning it into a joke.

“I don’t know, let’s forget about it for now.” Albert reached out and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder, “Go back and do your job as a referee. The first round of elimination is not over yet.”

"If I know who did something good, I will definitely give him an impressive lesson." Fred gritted his teeth.

Had Albert not been prepared, he would have been disgusted.
