Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 117 [Anticipate the Enemy's Moves (Blue)] [Celebrity (Green)]

The Daily Prophet is the best-selling newspaper in the British wizarding world. The front page headline has a large photo that takes up half of the page, and it's the kind that moves.

On the left is the huge and scary bugbear, with a few goblins showing up behind him and two fallen murlocs on the ground.

On the right were Mr. Weasley and several wizards in the lead, with Ted and his group behind them.

It turned out that it was the photographer who took the photo of Lockhart. After the incident, he did not run away, but hid to take pictures and capture materials.

You know what, he's quite professional, the angle and composition are very well captured.

It’s a pity that it’s in black and white. If it was in color, he would win a prize.

It's the 1990s, and they're still using black and white photos. Just tell me how backward the wizarding world is!

The entire emergency special issue was devoted to the monster attacks on Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley that morning.

The monster is said to have emerged from Knockturn Alley, and preliminary judgment is that it was caused by dark wizards smuggling magical creatures, and Aurors are now tracking down the case.

All the escaped monsters have been cleared.

There were seven casualties in the entire incident, four died, including a goblin, and three were injured.

The one who was most seriously injured had both legs broken and almost died.

The least serious injury was a broken head, but it only took ten minutes to get to the hospital.

In addition, two of the busiest magical commercial streets in the UK were damaged, and many shops suffered losses of varying degrees.

The biggest loss was in Borgin and Burke's, where a monster took advantage of the chaos to light a fire. Fortunately, the loss was not big, after all, the magic protection in the store was still very dense. But it was inevitable that it was burned to a black smoke.

This is a big deal!
Although there are wizards in the magic world who commit suicide from time to time, and then die. For example, the spell goes out of control.

From then on, it became a joke among the wizards, the kind that could be told for years.

But it was still quite shocking that three wizards and one goblin died at once.

This is one ten-thousandth of the population of the British wizarding world!

Although only a few hours have passed, the newspapers are already going crazy about this matter.

A large group of people criticized the Ministry of Magic, saying that they were just sitting there doing nothing but taking taxpayers' money.

There are also radical pure-blood wizards who call for strict supervision of visitors from other worlds.

There are also those who say that the murderer should be severely punished and the black industry in Knockturn Alley should be cleaned up.

Of course, there are also a few people who say that it was all thanks to Weasley and his group...

You know, the wizarding world is usually peaceful and quiet, with nothing much going on. But Ted's Xianyu website attracts 20 to 30 people every day to drink tea, eat melon seeds and watch the fun.

This suddenly caused such a big incident, the dried bamboo shoots exploded!

Since Voldemort's defeat, Diagon Alley has been relatively quiet for more than a decade. Now it's being attacked by a group of monsters?!

Ted read it all, from the newspaper reports to the statements from Ministry officials to the opinions of wizards who had been invited to comment or had written directly.

It was pretty good, my name was only mentioned once, and I was praised a few times along with everyone else.

Although there are two lines saying that Ted's "modified special freezing spell is very effective", there is nothing more.

This is very good, so as to avoid attracting too much attention.

Ted felt that his decision was right.

I sent Hermione home in the afternoon and Jerry also went home.

School is about to start, and the Xianyu website was supposed to be temporarily closed for the last few days. What's more, after something like this happened, there is no one in Diagon Alley.

The Leaky Cauldron was also very quiet. Who would come here to drink?

Old Tom was not angry about this. He had lived for decades and had seen all kinds of storms. They were all temporary.

Ted went back to his room and fell on his bed.

"Well done, Parker." He praised the spirit crystal servant Parker. It was thanks to Parker's assistance that he was able to freeze the bugbear.

"My pleasure~" Parker jumped up and down on the table excitedly.

"And Anzu, this fire is really satisfying. Fire and water are merciless. I hope Mr. Borgin and Burke will be more careful in the future."

Ted took out some beef jerky to distract Ansu, because Ansu wanted to take a bite when she saw Parker's proud movements. Ravens are very interested in shiny things.

Ted lay on the bed and began to observe the two new cards he had obtained.

[Anticipate the enemy's moves (blue)]

Spell Cards

The psychic energy will be extra active within 10 minutes after use, and there is a high probability of being able to react in advance to sneak attacks and accidents.

Cooling time: 6 hours.

This card is quite interesting. It is actually a card about psychic power, which is very rare!
Ted tried to use it, then closed his eyes, picked up an apple and threw it over his head... When the apple fell on his head, he suddenly dodged, dodged without any vision, and reached out to catch the apple.

“It feels quite amazing!”

Ted was overjoyed, not only because the card was effective, but also because he could simulate this psychic card to develop similar psychic powers.

Then you won't be restricted by cards.
Second card: [Celebrity (Green)]

Spell Cards

Use: +2 Charisma, lasts 30 minutes.

Chill for 12 hours.

Note: You will be noticed wherever you go, and life under the spotlight is not so easy~
"Does that mean I'm a celebrity after the last time I was in the newspaper?" Ted thought it was a little funny.

In fact, he was really wrong on this point.

After all, when Ted traveled through time, it was already the Internet age. Not to mention that newspapers had become extinct, no one read them, and their influence was very low.

In today's world, newspapers still have a certain influence. Although a large part of their influence has been taken away by television and radio, there are still many people who read them. The British are famous for their love of reading newspapers.

The wizarding world only has print media, such as mainstream newspapers like The Daily Prophet, which almost every household subscribes to.

The wizarding world has a small population and cannot support many newspapers, so there is only one dominant newspaper.

Many wizards live scattered across the country, and if they want to be the first to know the changes and information in the wizarding world, they really cannot do without the Daily Prophet.

Therefore, Ted and his friends' names are actually known to 80% to 90% of the wizards in Great Britain. Although not all of them can remember them, it is still remarkable.

……

A few days after the "Monster Attack", Diagon Alley was under martial law.

Ted saw four or five wizards in Diagon Alley with serious expressions, alert eyes, and hands ready to draw their wands at any time.

These were the violent arms of the Ministry - the Smiters and the Aurors.

The striker is roughly equivalent to the civil police, and the Auror is equivalent to the armed police.

Most of these people are between level 7 and 9, which is higher than ordinary wizards.

Some of the elite ones are even level 11 or 12. These are elite Aurors.

Mainly, Aurors and strikers have special training and will learn a lot of offensive and defensive magic.

Now that the Ministry of Magic has been slapped in the face, they have sent people to patrol the streets.

Knockturn Alley was recently hit by a special campaign to eliminate gangsters and evildoers, and many gray area wizards who lived in Knockturn Alley were arrested. However, the charges were generally just a few months or a year in Azkaban.

Ted couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so he secretly controlled Parker to make many camouflage traces in front of Borgin and Burke's store, which led to the closure of Borgin and Burke's store.

Although with their family's connections and relationships, it won't take long to recover, but it will definitely be very troublesome during this period of time.

Oh ~ it’s so comfortable!

But Ted didn't pay much attention to what was happening in Diagon Alley because school was about to start.

I have to pack up my things quickly, especially clear out the basement.

After more than two months, this place has become a laboratory. Many things need to be disposed of and traces need to be restored.

Some waste from alchemical experiments and potion brewing needs to be properly disposed of.

Where wizards live, it is easy for some magical beings to "breed", such as Boggarts, ghouls, potato spirits and the like.

Because they are all born from magic, the existence of wizards will gather magic.

So these things always appear where wizards live.

If Ted doesn't handle it properly, this place might become a "haunted bar" in a while.

……

Ted opened his eyes and the system prompt arrived.

That’s right, today is September 9st, the first day of school, and also the time when new knowledge about other worlds is refreshed.

"Ding~ The talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and the [Flame Village Cat Rice Recipe (Green)] is discovered."

[Flame Village Cat Rice Recipe (Green)] records the recipes for making cat rice by the Felynes of Flame Village. It costs 190 experience points to redeem.

"Ah? Cat food!" Ted was stunned, remembering the fear of being dominated by the cat car.

"No way... just average luck!" Ted shook his head.

It’s okay, at least it’s useful.

Eating it adds a buff, doesn't this fit in with Azeroth cooking?
I have exchanged it. I will go to the school kitchen to study it carefully after school starts.

Well, maybe Professor McGonagall will like it~
Ted used the newly learned "object shrinking spell" to shrink his luggage to the size of a fist and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

I took Ansu and Parker, said goodbye to Old Tom, and took a taxi to the train station.

This time Ted arrived earlier, and when he passed through the wall and arrived at Platform 9 3/4, there were not many people there.

Ted got on the bus directly and took up a compartment.

About forty or fifty minutes later, Hermione arrived at the station.

Seeing Hermione pushing the luggage cart away happily with a smile on her face, her old father, Mr. Granger, couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes. The little cotton-padded jacket is not fitting anymore~
