Drawing cards at Hogwarts

"One more time! This time I must get the animagus spell from Professor McGonagall!" Draw! Cash draw! Who is it? "I am the great astrologer, Trelawney!" [Divination +1] Tears welled up in Tom's eyes. Confronted with the magnificent magical world, Tom felt deeply that Muggle power has a limit, so he decided to shout that phrase: I will not be a Muggle! *I do not own the copyright of such fanfic or the contents of the novel or the Harry Potter book.

Chapter 359: Days of Writing Letters at Hogwarts (Edited)

[Talentos]

[Encantamientos: 6 (+1) (Superdotado)]

[Pociones: 6 (+1) (Superdotado)]

...

[Magia Negra: 1 (+1) (Compañero de Justicia)]

"Interesting," Tom raised an eyebrow. After Hermione put on the Ravenclaw diadem, all her talents had increased slightly, from "Talento Superior" to "Superdotado." Without a doubt, the Ravenclaw artifact was truly impressive in its enhancing effect.

"The diadem made your talents increase," Tom excitedly told Hermione.

"That's right, after putting it on, my mind became much clearer," Hermione said, taking off the diadem, looking satisfied.

The two continued to chat a little more, and before they knew it, it was time for afternoon classes, which kept them busy once again. Now, unlike at the beginning of the school year, all subjects were in full swing, and there was much more to learn and assignments to do.

In addition to attending classes, Tom and Hermione had to calculate the right moments to go back in time, and after returning to the common room at night, they still had to write essays. This busy life exhausted them. Hermione fell asleep in her dormitory as soon as she rested her head on the pillow, and Tom also closed his eyes, exhausted.

However, something suddenly occurred to Tom. If Hermione's attributes had already been added to the system, could he increase his talents by giving her skill cards?

That instantly lifted his spirits.

He opened his system again and accessed the "Draw" function. When he saw the images of various professors, Tom got a bit excited.

"I hope it's not Professor Trelawney again," he really feared that. Hermione's Divination talents were practically nonexistent; she couldn't afford to start from scratch and draw the "exceptional" talent over and over again.

That would be too cruel.

That talent wasn't very useful at lower levels.

Looking at the familiar yet strange interface, Tom sighed a little. How long had it been since he had drawn a card? A year? Two years? He couldn't even remember well.

The main reason was that there hadn't been any powerful card pools recently, and getting Magic Stones was extremely difficult. Permanent professors weren't attractive enough. The system didn't leave him any option to spend money, and after exhausting the Magic Stones, he could only save slowly.

In the end, Tom seemed like a hoarding squirrel living at Hogwarts, spending his days without drawing cards, sometimes not even being at Hogwarts.

Fortunately, after completing the previous task, he earned some Magic Stones in abundance; otherwise, Tom wouldn't have had enough to draw cards.

But it was all in vain. Today, Tom would go to the permanent Draw to fish for someone for Hermione!

The days of drawing cards at Hogwarts have begun!

However, before drawing a card, Tom noticed that his "Draw" interface had undergone some changes.

"Fixed Tracking?" Tom pondered over this unfamiliar term: "What's tracking?"

After carefully reading the notes next to "Tracking," he finally understood that "Tracking" was essentially ensuring the increase of talents for a specific target. The "Tracking," that is, increased Tom's talents.

With great joy, Tom chose "Hermione Jean Granger" in the Tracking option. This would increase Tom's talents.

Once the Tracking was completed, Tom confidently clicked the [Draw x 10] button. The next thing he saw was the system screen changing to ten shooting stars streaking across the sky, unfolding slowly in bright golden color.

Tom: ?

I can't accept this!!!

Has the system taken bribes from this girl Hermione? System, get out! System, you dare to give her ten times the golden rarity but you don't dare to compete with me!

Tom really wanted to shout out loud: Give me back my Magic Stones! But considering it was already nighttime, and his roommates were asleep, he restrained himself.

After the animation ended, Tom clicked on what he had obtained and began reviewing his gains.

"A chocolate frog, a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, a cola cocktail, a discount voucher for the Leaky Cauldron, a pair of silk stockings... handcuffs? A cat tail pendant?"

The three-star items he had drawn this time were quite unusual, some Tom didn't even recognize. But that wasn't important. What was important was the purple light from the second-to-last item he drew.

"Amplification Spell... not bad," Tom clicked on the purple-glowing parchment and watched as the points of light turned into motes that melded into his own body. Although he had focused on Hermione, the spells he drew still added to Tom.

The main course has arrived... Tom clicked one last time and unraveled the mystery behind the five-star character he had drawn this time.

Woman, slender, wearing glasses.

Right, it's Minerva McGonagall.

It seems Hermione and Professor Trelawney don't have much affinity.

[Talent in Transfiguration +1]

Seeing Hermione's talent in Transfiguration go from six to seven, Tom showed a smile: Tomorrow, there will be a Transfiguration class with Professor McGonagall. Hermione must be surprised to suddenly become smarter.

But should he tell her this? Tom still hesitated a bit because this situation was simply inexplicable. Hermione would probably think he was joking.

The idea of Tom continuing to draw cards was no longer so strong because luck is preserved. At first, it may go well, but then it could get worse. Like some people, they get five-star characters from the beginner pool but then have continuous bad luck in the subsequent featured character pools.

However, everyone has a gamer side, and Tom is no exception.

He drew another ten cards in a row, and this time it was predictable: nine blue and one purple. The purple spell was Expelliarmus, which he already knew.

"What if I try again?" Tom was thinking about quitting, but he felt an itch inside him, an urge to keep drawing cards.

"Darn it! Impulsivity is the devil!" He pressed the button for the next set of ten cards.

And then, a golden flash reflected on his face.

Tom: ???

WTF?

What the hell? Unbelievable! Why do the cards turn golden when I draw them for Hermione? Where's the logic in that?

Two golden cards out of thirty attempts, where's the justice in that? Where's the law?

If it were Tom drawing cards for himself, there wouldn't be a single golden shadow in thirty attempts.

This time, he quickly passed the cards he considered "junk." When the purple parchment appeared, he also passed it quickly and ignored it.

"A ball, pass. A stick, pass. A golden Galleon, pass. A Flying spell, pass... wait, what's this?"

Tom quickly turns back and sees the Summoning Charm parchment sitting there.

Tom: !!!

The spell, he needed it.
