v2 Chapter 463: Gambling that cannot be won (1/2)
”Arthur, old man!” He came to the campfire. ”How good the weather is, isn't it? It's great, this kind of weather, where to find it! I predict that there will be no clouds at night, the whole preparatory work is well organized, nothing. Things can be done!”
Behind him, a group of face-faced Ministry of Magic officials rushed past.
There are signs in the distance that someone is playing the magic fire, and the purple sparks are more than twenty feet high.
For his prediction, everyone expressed doubts that it would rain if it was not good tonight.
Behind Mr. Weasley, Percy hurried forward and reached out.
”This is my son Percy, who just went to work in the Ministry of Magic!” Mr. Weasley said with a smile. ”There is Sirius Black, and then Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, and Ron. And my daughter, Ginny, you have seen before, here are Avon Mason, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter.”
He introduced everyone to Bagman, and when he saw Sirius, Bagman was obviously surprised.
The expression on his face is complex and looks more like a fear.
Sirius said that Bagman had been tried for providing confidential information to the Death Eater, Lukewood.
They had a brief contact at the time of the trial.
It seems to be remembering the past experience, making him quite jealous of Sirius.
By the time he heard Harry's name, Bagman also showed a slight surprise.
”Okay, okay, do you want to make a bet on the game?” Bagman said eagerly.
After the introduction, he slammed the pockets of the yellow and black robes, and it seemed to contain a lot of gold coins.
It seems that this is the main purpose of his coming here.
”I have already persuaded Roddy Ponte and I bet that he said that Bulgaria will score the first goal. I have set a high odds for him because I have considered that Ireland's No. 3 striker has been seen in the past years. The best. Little Agatha Tims puts on half of her squid farm stock and bet that the game will last for a week.”
”I have a Galleon bet on Ireland to win, will you?” Mr. Weasley hesitated.
”A Galleon?!” Bagman was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly regained his interest. ”Good, is there anyone else who wants to gamble?”
He looked forward to looking at Sirius, but Sirius did not care about him.
Bagman groaned his nose and didn't dare to say anything. His eyes shifted to other people.
”They are too young to gamble.” Mr. Weasley said quickly.
”We pressed forty-six Galleons, thirty-two Westcoins, and eight Naths!” Fred said that he and George quickly took out the money, ”betting on Ireland to win, but Wickdor Kru M will catch the golden snitch.”
Ai Wen’s aid funds and sales of products in the store were all confiscated by Mrs. Weasley, nearly 200 Jinlong.
Mrs. Weasley said that she would give them back to the twins and that I would not give Ed and George money.
But this is not difficult for them. When the business is hot, they have asked Lee Jordan to help them sell a lot of jokes.
The owls of the Hogwarts Little Sorcerer are mostly ordered in this way.
The two of them just went out and went to collect the accounts.
When they came back, they secretly told Ai Wen about this.
Fred and George intend to use the money as a re-starting fund to make a comeback.
Unexpectedly, they will all come out here and participate in a gamble that is impossible to win.
