Chapter 197: After the game
In the end, with the cooperation of Ireland's firebolts and Bulgaria's Krum, the match ended in the most desired way for Darren and the twins, and when the score between Bulgaria and Ireland was 10:180, Krum caught the Golden Snitch and finally fixed the score at Bulgaria 160:Ireland 180. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Well, now that Darren had won the gamble with Bagman for a thousand Galleons, Fred and George were just as happy as he was with a magical contract, because they had made the same bet as Darren, but Bagman gave them a big bag of gold.
Darren watched as Fudge watched as he desperately hoped that the Quidditch World Cup could be ended as soon as possible, but he still had to follow the process and wait for the Irish players to go around the stadium for a week, and then deliver the Quidditch World Cup trophy to the Irish players in the top box.
When Ireland's Troy and Quigley took the trophy from him and held it aloft in the air, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, and Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, at least procedurally, that the Quidditch World Cup was over.
Unfortunately, Fudge's wish was still not fulfilled in the end, and when it was close to dawn, Darren heard a burst of shouts from outside the tent, mixed with the sound of explosions and burning, and the riot broke out in the end, it seems that the British love to make trouble after the game and even the wizard can't run, the football game is called a football hooligan, and the Quidditch game is called a Quidditch hooligan?
However, the chaos caused by the rioters had just begun, and they were hit hard by the Aurors, because except for a few who were on duty at the Ministry of Magic, Fudge ordered Scolinger to transfer almost all the Aurors to the arena, on the one hand, to hunt down Barty Jr., and on the other hand, to worry about whether he was planted by the Death Eaters and waiting for the opportunity to sabotage, so he had to be on strict guard.
Many of these Aurors were pulled out of the arena to work, and there was nowhere to vent their grievances when the game began, and these guys just hit the muzzle of the gun, and under their strong suppression, the riot swirled and extinguished, and only a few fires were set off, and it was over.
But this was enough to embarrass the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge, who was already upset because of little Barty, was furious with these guys and ordered them to be thrown directly into Azkaban and imprisoned for six months, making people marvel at how he was so tough even when he was always mild-mannered.
It was only when Mr. Weasley returned to the Burrow from the Ministry of Magic that Darren learned from him that compared to the number of rioters at that time, the Aurors gained very little, and only captured three people in total, and they were still stunned by the "fainting" because they were raided by the Aurors, and they didn't even have time to take off their masks.
"No way, in order to ensure the safety of the others, the Aurors can't prohibit the apparition in that area, many guys immediately run away as soon as they see that it is the Aurors who have arrived, even if there are no escapers, as long as the mask is removed, no one can identify them in that chaotic scene."
Oh, it seems that it's true, unless you catch the appearance, it's really hard to convict the wizard, and even if you can catch it red-handed, it can be said that it is because the Imperius Curse is controlled by others, and you are not controlled, and it is estimated that Fudge didn't give them a chance this time
As for Crouch, Mr. Weasley didn't say anything to the others, but called Percy into his room and talked for a long time.
And that's not all, "That guy from Bagman borrowed a lot of gold from the leprechaun, and after the game, the leprechaun blocked him in the woods and robbed him of all the gold coins that were not enough to pay off the debt, so he had no money to cash in on our bet!" Darren spread his hands at Fred and George, which he had told Bagman to tell him through the magic contract, and the twins asked him to help him get his share, and after the gold Bagman paid them was gone, "Those were leprechaun's gold coins, and they disappeared in a few hours." β
"Merlin, it's a shame that this guy still says that he is vouching for the head of the Department of Magical Sports, he is a liar!" Fred shouted angrily.
"What to do? That's all we have! Now we're penniless! β
"Hey," Darren interrupted them, "you guys were wrong, that money used to be all your property, and don't forget, you now have 30 shares in a company. β
"But we haven't sold a single camera or player."
"Yes, and I've given away several players."
"Send it out, who did you give it to?"
"Fudge, and a couple of directors from the Ministry of Magic, who randomly gave you a Quidditch match memory card, but unfortunately it couldn't be edited, and a few movie tapes, of course, that Bagman guy didn't."
"Also, I installed one in the Leaky Cauldron, where Quidditch matches were played, and I said I would try it out for a week, and I would pay him 5 Galleons a day."
"5 Galleons! You are crazy! Put the player in the Leaky Cauldron Bar and give him money? β
"That's right, otherwise, when he comes to buy it, how can he set the price a little higher, even the cost of the trial is 5 Galleons a day, so how much should he buy? Wait, someone will place an order with our company soon. β
After acquiring the Magic Telescope Company, Darren deliberately did not use his and the Weasleys' names, and if they didn't investigate carefully, they wouldn't have noticed that the owner of the company had anything to do with them, otherwise, I'm afraid the Malfoys wouldn't have come to buy it
Soon, Fred and George forgot about their bet on Bagman's thirty-seven Galleons, because the order came, but fortunately Darren froze their designs in advance and carried out pre-production, otherwise they would not have been able to meet the needs of the customer, and even then, the stock was quickly exhausted, and it was necessary to work overtime to complete, just like Lockhart in the past, and now the magic video player has set off a wave of craze in the wizarding world!
In addition, after watching the live footage of the Quidditch World Cup, many wizards asked how it was filmed, and the VIPs in the box at the time naturally remembered Mr. Weasley, because he once said to Malfoy, "This is the latest product in the world", and for a while, the owls delivering letters to the Weasleys crowded the trees around the Burrow, asking how Mr. Weasley had purchased the camera.
To Darren's surprise, in addition to the big fat sheep like the Malfoys, there were also some orders from the Quidditch club, who wanted to be able to film their team's games and broadcast them everywhere in order to raise the team's popularity.
