Chapter 254: The Riot of Change
Ryan pulled Hermione out of the box and into the fuchsia-carpeted main staircase, just in time to see the Weasleys and Harry coming down the stairs.
Upon seeing Ryan and Hermione, Harry immediately walked up and shook Ryan's hand and thanked him and his godfather for giving up such a good place to watch the game. It wasn't until the twin brother came over that Harry stopped thanking him.
"Hey, Ryan. Look at the money we just won, a full two hundred Galleons. With that, the twins opened a pocket, which was full of gold coins.
"Now we can hire someone, and we don't have to reduce shipments when we go to school. George leaned in and whispered.
"Well, this doesn't look like the real Gareon. Ryan took out a few gold coins from his pocket and looked at them, and said, on the one hand, he had just parsed a few gold coins of the little goblin, and he could basically determine what was in his hand. On the other hand—
"Do you think these coins are too new? As far as I know, the currency of the wizarding world is slower to wear out, but that doesn't mean it won't wear out, and each one of these coins is as fresh as it was minted, without the slightest dirt or scratch. ”
"Wouldn't it?" said Fred, somewhat incredulous. "Ludoke is an official of the Ministry of Magic, so he won't deceive us with a fake Galleon. ”
"Theoretically, it should be, but I can't believe the bad gambler's discipline. As for whether you believe or not what I'm talking about, it's up to you, I'm just telling you what I suspect. ”
The twins discussed for more than ten seconds before going to their father, and after a short conversation with their hands. Mr. Weasley asks Sirius to take the children to camp first, and he and the twins go up there to ask Ludo for an explanation.
Sure enough, even if Mr. Weasley doesn't support the children's gambling, he will still stand on the side of the children when the children are deceived.
Squeezing through groups of excited wizards, Ryan followed Sirius back to the camp. The wizards' tents all have space folding magic inside, for example, the tent where Ryan is going to stay tonight is an old-fashioned three-bedroom apartment.
Because Mr. Weasley and the twins haven't come back yet. So at Sirius's suggestion, everyone decided to drink a little cocoa milk before going to bed. Immediately, everyone was arguing about the game just now.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Weasley returned with the twins in a rage, carrying a pocket much smaller than the previous one. Walking to the fire, he took a sip of cocoa milk and said angrily, "I have known Ludo for more than ten years, but I really didn't expect him to use this method to deceive my son." ”
"What!" exclaimed Ron. "Is there really something wrong with that bag of gold coins just now?"
"That's right, it's all leprechaun's gold coins. Mr. Weasley said. "The result of this match is unusual, and Ludo loses badly. So I moved some thoughts that shouldn't be moved. When I found him, he had already mortgaged the bracelet and finally said that it would take half a day to get half of the money back. So kids, stay away from gambling in the future, you know?"
"Got it, Dad. "Understood. "No problem, Mr. Weasley. Everyone at the fire said. Soon everyone started talking about today's exciting game.
From time to time, there was a rough song in the night sky, and the leprechauns were constantly speeding over their heads. Ryan learns from his twin brother that the big box is full of important people today, including Barty Crouch Sr.
It seemed that the world had indeed changed, and Ryan felt a pang in his heart. This also shows that the plot advantage he has will become smaller and smaller. However, now his strength is no longer weak, and he has enough confidence to deal with future changes. Thinking of this, Ryan also let go of his mind and began to chat with everyone on the side of the fire about the game.
Even though everyone has been sitting for more than 20 minutes, the surroundings are still so noisy. Looking at the chaotic camp, Ryan moved to Percy's side and asked in a somewhat worried tone, "I feel that everyone is a little too excited, do you think there will be Quidditch hooligans at night?" ”
"Quidditch—rascal, what's that?" Percy was curious about a word he had never encountered before, as he had never heard of it before.
"Do you mean someone who resembles a football hooligan?" Hermione, who was sitting next to her, was the first to react, and then explained to a group of wizards with questions on their faces, "In the Muggle world, there is also a sport that is as popular as Quidditch called football, and football hooligans are people who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, disturb the court and public order, and endanger social stability on the field or after games. It is also quite reasonable for Ryan to have this concern, after all, in the Muggle world, England is the most famous football hooligan. ”
"And I think wizards are much better than Muggles when they make trouble. The most serious troublemaker in Muggle world football was the death of nearly 40 people and the wounding of more than 300. As a result, British teams were banned for five years, and British teams were not allowed to compete in European competitions until the year before I entered school. You can imagine what it would be like if the wizards made trouble. Ryan added from the side.
"Your concerns are right. Mr. Weasley thought for a moment after listening to Ryan and Hermione's speeches, and said, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic has focused its main efforts on pre-game and mid-game, and most of them are on vacation right now. At least for now, in the event of a riot, the Ministry of Magic will probably not have enough manpower to quell the ecology. ”
"How can this be, there are so many people here. Percy looked at his father in disbelief, because in his eyes, the Ministry of Magic should be a very strict department, how could there be insufficient people on duty at this time.
"First of all, strictly speaking, now the game is over. Secondly, everyone has been busy for so long, so the ministry will not arrange too many people on duty, after all, everyone is very tired. Mr. Weasley gave him a familiar expression.
"No, I'm going to tell Mrs. Burns. Percy stood up with a serious face. Mr. Weasley wanted to say something but gave up again. Maybe it's because he saw in his son the confident self he was when he first entered the Ministry of Magic.
"As far as I know, these riots usually attack special places. If so, it's the tent where the Ministry of Magic staff are located, or the Muggle camp keepers. Ryan quickly reminded at this time.
"Got it. Percy waved his hand and disappeared into a crowd of green Irish supporters.
"It's nice to be young!" "Yes!" Sirius and Mr. Weasley sighed and clinked their glasses. After a little more talking, Mr. Weasley drove everyone to bed, but Percy didn't come back until this time, but the noise around him grew louder.
"Now I feel a little uneasy. Mr. Weasley said to the children with a serious face, "So go to bed early, and don't change your pajamas when you go to bed at night, just take off your coat and put it on the side." Everyone should also put their wand within direct reach. ”
Ryan and Ron were in the same house, and after washing up, they put their wands on the head of the bed as Mr. Weasley had instructed, and then said goodnight to each other and lay down in their clothes.
Although it was still a little noisy outside, the excitement passed and the sleepiness quickly flooded Ryan's brain. Within a few minutes he was asleep.
