With the final exams concluded, Hogwarts was once again filled with a cheerful atmosphere as the students enjoyed the last few days of leisure before the holidays. Just at this time, news that the Wizard Card Club was planning to hold a gathering quickly spread among the students.
However, at this point in the year, most students were not very interested in attending club activities. Having finally survived the ordeal of final exams, everyone preferred to soak up the sunshine on the grounds and revel in the post-exam relaxation. Many planned to head to the Quidditch pitch to play, enjoying some downtime while letting off steam accumulated during the testing period.
Those willing to attend the Wizard Card Club were few—at least compared to the club's original membership—but that couldn't be helped. Albert was not particularly surprised by this; at least two dozen people were willing to show up, sparing them the embarrassment of an entirely empty gathering.
