Over the past month, Albert had had limited contact with Harry Potter. In his mind, apart from his extraordinary talent for flying, the savior was no different from the other students.

Now, people no longer crowd around Harry, no one wants to see the Lightning Scar on his forehead, and those who know Harry will treat him as an ordinary person.

At the end of September, Harry and Ron were drawn to the lively atmosphere in the hall as soon as they entered the restaurant. After quickly finishing their breakfast, they went to attend Wizard Card Club gathering together.

"It's really lively!"

Watching the crowd flipping through the Wizard Card, Harry couldn't help but sigh. He and Ron weaved through the crowd, wanting to see what everyone was doing.

Some students were exchanging ideas, some were asking others to copy the Wizard Card they needed, and a small group of new students were peeking around curiously.

"How's it going, Harry?" Fred asked with a smile. "Is the Wizard Card Club quite lively?"

"It's very lively; it's really hard to believe that this is a newly established club."

"People need something fun to brighten up their lives, like playing Wizard's Chess, but it's harder to master, and you can also learn some useful knowledge while playing Wizard Card."

"What knowledge?" Ron didn't understand Fred's meaning.

"For example, the rules of Quidditch." Fred handed Harry a Wizard Card card that read "Tactical Violation" and featured a broom with a hand pulling it from behind.

"Tactical violation?"

"This tactic can be used when necessary. It's shameless, but it's also very effective," George explained, winking at Harry. "Sometimes a free throw is better than losing the game, don't you think?"

Harry stared in disbelief at George for saying those words.

"Don't be surprised, even if you don't use it, someone else will."

"And this..." Fred handed Harry a card with Disarming Charm it. "This is Spell Card that can teach you how to use the magic on it."

"Expelliarmus?"

"That's the Disarming Charm spell. It can disarm your opponent's wand and is very useful when dueling with others," Fred explained simply.

"What is this pattern?" Ron asked, pointing to the line drawing on the Disarming Charm card.

"Of course, it's the correct way to wave a wand," George said disdainfully.

"The Wizard Card will not just be Wizard Card in the future," Lee Jordan said meaningfully, "But will be game cards that help wizards learn. They can bring joy to people as a game, and also allow wizards to learn more in the game. There is no denying that Albert is a genius."

"Even if you praise me like this, don't think you can abandon your mission."

Albert suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said to Harry's three roommates who were surrounding him, "Go and help the others copy the Wizard Card, so that everyone can have their own cards as soon as possible."

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan are all annoyed by this; they've spent a lot of time on it.

However, without Galleon, the three of them had little motivation to work for free.

If there's a fee, at least 1 Knut per card would be good.

It's a pity that I worked for nothing.

The fruit wasn't ripe yet, so Albert certainly wasn't in a hurry to harvest it. He believed that the Wizard Card would definitely bring him huge profits.

Especially after the game became an integral part of the wizarding world.

Albert sent his three roommates back to work, then wandered around the area and found Hermione reading the game rules alone in a corner.

She really doesn't fit in.

Just as Albert was about to walk over, he heard Katrina's voice behind him.

"I've found you! I hope you can help me change the photo on my card. This photo is really ugly." Katrina complained to Albert while holding up her card. Girls really do care about their appearance.

Not only him, but several girls also came along. They were very unhappy that they were photographed looking bad, especially since their cards ended up in the hands of other students.

Albert was speechless. Looking at the girls surrounding him, he quickly and gently reassured them, "Okay, I admit you have a point. But if you don't think you look good in the cards, you can take a picture of yourself that you think looks good and send it to me."

He promised to replace the photos on their cards next time.

The girls looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Well, they did think the Wizard Card photo made them look bad, but they didn't think about anything else; they just came to protest and chat with Albert.

"I've already prepared the photos!" Katrina handed a photo to Albert. "Remember to edit them for me."

Albert looked down at the photo Katrina had given him, then looked up and sized Katrina up and down.

In the photo, the girl is sitting in a chair reading a book. At this moment, she looks up and is looking in my direction.

Hmm, doesn't this look a bit like Isobel? "What are you looking at?"

"Your...photo?" Albert asked.

"Is there a problem?" Katrina raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's true that I made you look bad in the photo," Albert readily admitted his mistake.

However, the two sisters actually look quite alike, but they differ in temperament. Isobel is more gentle and refined, and also has a more composed and steady demeanor.

Katrina left satisfied.

Albert watched the other person's departing figure, stuffed the photo into his pocket, and prepared to turn around and look in Hermione's direction, only to find that the little Hermione Granger girl was no longer there.

"Thank you for inviting me to this party." Hermione appeared beside Albert at some point.

"You're welcome. How are you feeling?" Albert asked gently.

"Great, um... could you make me a Wizard Card too?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

"Oh, you want one too."

The latter nodded slightly.

"Okay, but you'll have to be at the back of the line and have your picture taken. If you think my picture is ugly, you can bring me your own," Albert kindly reminded him.

"No problem," Hermione said. "By the way, congratulations on the Transfiguration Today. Although I didn't understand it, you were really amazing."

Go play with the other people!

After Albert watched Hermione walk away, a voice rang in his ears.

"You actually care about a freshman?" Truman appeared out of nowhere.

"She is a genius."

"You're a genius too," Truman said, scoffing. "Don't give me that weird theory."

"Geniuses find it easy to find common ground," Albert said softly. Truman, who was next to him, had already started rolling his eyes at him and soon slipped away.
