In a tent that could be called a small home, a guest is now welcomed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a tall, middle-aged man who stood out, wearing a long Quidditch robe with the same wide bars as yellow and black, and a huge wasp splashed on his chest.

And the slightly protruding abdomen shows that he may have been a little lacking in exercise recently, and it is very common for a person to reach middle age and gain a good figure.

"Hello, Ludo. Lucius immediately rose from the mahogany seat on which he was seated, walked around the delicate round table in front of him, spread his arms, and walked to the mouth of the tent to greet the man warmly.

There is no doubt about the identity of this guest, a bad gambler who maintains a good image on the surface, but is in fact addicted to gambling - Ludo Bagman.

"Ahh Bagman shouted excitedly, this is his habitual way of greeting, it seems that he is very familiar with everyone, but his eyes are now a little distant, attracted by these luxurious furniture in front of him, as soon as he lifted the curtain of the tent and walked into this huge space, he felt the soft touch under his feet, his eyes glanced slightly, and he saw a high-end carpet covering the entire room, the tone on it was mainly black and green, echoing each other from afar, supplemented by some painted, vivid print patterns, which looked low-key and luxurious, and the fluffy blanket hair was not extraordinary, it seemed to be made of the hair of some magical creature。

Not to mention the other mahogany seats and the chandelier with ornate crystals hanging overhead, the glittering light made him feel a little dizzy.

While Bagman was still amazed by these extravagant objects, Lucius had already walked up to him.

Lucius raised his cane, made a gesture of please, and said in his somewhat deep voice, "I think what you need most now is a cup of hot tea, it should be very cold outside now, and the weather doesn't look very good these days." ”

"yes, I don't know if the Quidditch World Cup will be held on time. Bagman sighed and said wistfully.

"Dobby, serve tea to the guests. Lucius ordered, and Dobby respectfully handed a steaming cup of tea to the table.

"Distinguished guests, please use it slowly. It flattered.

Bagman sat down on the mahogany chair and twisted his body a little uncomfortably.

In the eyes of gamblers, especially gamblers who have lost and lost gambling and are in debt, they have an extraordinary sense of smell for money, and when they see some valuable items, they often do not judge their value from the perspective they should have, and the only thing that is useful to them is how much money they can exchange.

One of the gamblers' hands was unconsciously touching the corner of the long mahogany table in front of him, which in his not very professional eyes was also an expensive piece of furniture, and the other hand picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to his mouth, but he didn't taste it at all.

Bagman was a little overwhelmed by the fact that he had been a Quidditch player for so many years and thought he would be invincible in gambling, but reality dealt him a heavy blow, his pre-match analysis was completely useless, and everything on the field was so fickle.

Earlier, he had actually been addicted to gambling, but he usually kept it up very well, maintaining a well-dressed appearance, and even if he borrowed money, he only found some goblins who had little contact with ordinary wizards.

But now he has no way out, and if he can't win back the huge debt he owes in the upcoming final and pay it back to the elves, the elves will go to the Wizengamot court to sue him and ruin his reputation.

"What's the matter?" Ludo?" Lucius looked at him strangely, "Is it because the tea is not to your taste? Then he continued to command impatiently to Dobby, who was standing by at any time, "It seems that your tea is not to the taste of the guests, your punishment will be discussed later, now go and get Mr. Bagman a new coffee." ”

Dobby shivered in horror for a moment, then forced himself back to normal.

"It's still much easier for the little master to get along with. Dobby thought to himself, and then hunched his back and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"No, no, no, that's good, your house-elves are very good. Bagman seemed to have only now come to his senses, and replied with praise that he did not want to have his servants punished as soon as he arrived at someone's house.

"Well, I think we can go into the back room and talk. Lucius raised an eyebrow and made his own suggestion, he didn't notice any abnormality in Bagman, or rather, Lucius just guessed that Bagman might be a little unwell, and he couldn't imagine what the world would be like through the eyes of a gambler.

"Good. Bagman nodded, then agreed, and walked side by side with Lucius into a room in the corner of the hall.

After a while, Bagman came out of the back room with a happy face, and Lucius also had a satisfied expression, and after some negotiation, it seemed that both parties had got the result they wanted.

"Nice to work with, Lucius. As he was leaving, Bagman took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Of course. Lucius replied, holding out his somewhat slender and pale hand.

The two smiled tacitly.

"Then let's wait until the game starts and we'll get in touch, I'll do my best. Bagman said, then lifted the curtain and went outside.

"Daddy, who just came?" Malfoy pushed the door out of a small room on the left, and saw Lucius saying goodbye to someone.

"Ludo Bagman. An outdated Quidditch player, but I just happened to have something to do with him. Lucius said disdainfully, reining in his polite expression.

"Then I'll have to go out and have a look. Malfoy clenched his fists, feigned excitement, and said with some excitement, and ran straight to the tent that led to the outside world, lifted the curtain, and slipped out.

"When did Draco become interested in Quidditch?" Lucius looked at his son's hurried back and shook his head, if he remembered correctly, Draco must have only been born long ago when Ludo Bagman was the batter?

"Forget it. Lucius rubbed his temples and decided not to think about it so much.

He guessed that Malfoy might just be trying to get the Ludo for an autograph.

And Bagman thought the same thing when he saw the boy who stopped in front of him.
