 Well, you're partially correct, as it is best to go first in this case. But, alas, '7' is not the number that would make you win for sure. That's the key word here. We're looking for a number that will guarantee a victory for the one who started, provided that he watches what he says, of course. (And the other person can say whatever he wants - it won't matter. If the starter follows a series of numbers starting with a specific one, he will win.  Keep trying - you're on the right track!

“Never mind that, look!” the American exchange student exclaimed. “I found the Triwizard cup! It’s mine! All mine! I’ll finally get the fame and glory and honor I deserve!”
“Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned.
“Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!”
“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”

Correct. Even though Hershey did all the work  Anyone who wants a detailed explanation on why that is the magic number is welcome to ask it here, or to PM me. (As if you want to see more math in this thread... )

Okay, am going to take the liberty of posting a new riddle: | QUOTE | Most people by now have me
Many people have paid much to get rid of me
And many of the same have paid to get me
I am constantly in your business and sometimes make things very easy
Other times I am a pest and ruin most things I touch
What am I? |
