Chapter Thirty-Four: Weasley, a Genius in Business

"How about we raise the stakes?" Malfoy pretended to clap his hands, and Crabbe and Goyle behind him immediately took out their pockets, but after touching for a long time, they only took out two gold Galleons and eight silver sicos.

Seeing that his two henchmen were so poor, Malfoy's face was a little unbearable, and he immediately took out four golden galleons from the wizard's robe and slapped them on the table.

"I have only three gold gallons, fifteen silver sicos, and twenty bronze nats." Seeing Malfoy take the bait, Ivan neatly took all the money out of his pocket.

"It doesn't matter... That's enough, then the gamble holds! Malfoy raised an eyebrow and said with a smile that he was just going to empty all the money in Ivan's pocket.

If he loses, it's just four gold gallons, but if he wins, damn Ivan will probably have to live on the edge for a long time.

Don't look at Hogwarts House, food, lodging and study are free after paying the tuition, but the purchase of daily necessities, materials used to refine potions outside of class, gifts, snacks and other miscellaneous things need to be purchased with money.

Malfoy was looking forward to seeing Ivan borrow money to get by.

"Okay, then it's established!" Malfoy offered to send money, and of course Ivan would not refuse, and one more gold galleon could buy a lot of more materials.

As for whether you will lose?

Ivan felt that the probability was pitiful, if he didn't even dare to gamble on this, he wanted to earn gold Galleons quickly? In the dream, it was pretty much the same.

Ivan was particularly relieved to succeed in pitting Malfoy, and by the time the game was over, he would have seven gold galleons, which should be able to meet most of his needs.

"Ivan, what did you just say to Malfoy?"

Ivan, who was in a good mood, returned to the Gryffindor table, and Harry and Ron immediately came up curiously and asked, Ivan and Malfoy's conversation just now was not very loud, so they didn't hear much, but they saw the gold galleons they put on the table and put away.

"Nothing, it's just that I made a bet with Malfoy that Harry would catch the Golden Snitch and give Gryffindor the victory in a few days' time." Ivan said.

"How can you do that? Gambling is not a good thing. What if Professor McGonagall finds out? Hermione said with a frown.

"Come on, who's going to tell Professor McGonagall about this if you don't say it?" Ron said with a grin.

Hearing Ivan say this, Ron wanted to take a gamble with Malfoy.

Harry felt like the pressure was getting bigger...

After eating, Ivan, who was about to return to his dormitory, was intercepted by the Weasley brothers, who suddenly killed him halfway.

George pulled Ivan aside with a mysterious expression, looked around to see that there was no one, and then whispered.

"Ivan, we just overheard your conversation with Malfoy."

"I just don't know if you're interested in earning some gold galleons with us?" Fred and George sang and said in harmony.

"Cooperation? Developing magic trick props? Ivan glanced at the magic item crafting that had not been touched for a long time in the system bar, and suddenly became a little interested.

"How do you know we're planning to develop this?" George and Fred looked at each other, a little surprised.

"Isn't it?" Ivan shrugged his shoulders in dismay, he couldn't say he knew their future.

"Of course not, at least we don't have the money to develop it! If we're ready, you're welcome to join us! Since Ivan didn't say it, George didn't bother to ask, and Fred also said directly.

"What we mean by this is to make a bet for the next game and you're sure to make a big profit!"

"But we didn't have the money and we couldn't come forward as part of the team, so that's why we thought of you."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at Ivan with a nervous expression.

"You don't want to play a match-fixing game and deliberately lose, right?" Ivan thought of a possibility.

"How is that possible? Are we such people? George shouted angrily, and Fred said angrily.

"Besides, we've been losing Gryffindors for years, who's going to buy us to win? You can't make money at all by playing match-fixing! ”

Ivan's apologetic words were directly gagged, and he felt that Wood would cry if he knew what these two men were thinking.

Joel and Fred, on the other hand, became more and more excited.

"We have Harry here as an ace this time, we will definitely be able to report a big upset, he is the best Seeker I have ever seen, we will win!"

"Yes, when the time comes, the gambling game can also raise the odds of Slytherin, and then lower the odds of Gryffindor, those Slytherins will definitely pay angrily!"

The more the two talked about their crooked ideas, they even thought about bribing Lee Jordan as the game commentator and causing trouble on the other side with words, although this guy was originally a fanatical Gryffindor, and would favor Gryffindor's side when he played the game regardless of whether he received money or not.

Ivan wiped the cold sweat from his head, and suddenly felt that Joel was too condescending to open only one joke toy store in the future, and with this business sense, he should run a regular game of Quidditch.

Guaranteed to make a lot of money...

"Okay .. I agreed, how many gold gallons do you have there? Ivan pondered for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Joel and Fred's plan, and that those Slytherin pride might be pitted in, which was just the right time for them to experience the hardships of the world in advance.

"Five gold galleons, that's all the money we have on hand." Joel and Fred gritted their teeth and took out all the money they had.

"Plus what I have in my hand, the principal should be enough." Ivan nodded, and then discussed the details with the two of them.

Ivan groaned for a moment, then spoke again.

"However, don't tell Jordan about the gambling game, if the matter is exposed, he as a commentator may have to increase the punishment."

"Yes, you can." Joel thought for a moment and nodded cautiously.

Fred said at this point.

"We're going to set up a secret spell that will be applied to everyone involved, and if anyone dares to break the contract or tell the truth, they will be severely punished."

"So the contract is established?" Ivan nodded and stretched out his right wrist.

"Well, the contract is established!" The Weasley brothers made the same move, and Joel waved his wand, giving them an extra mark on their wrists.

Ivan glanced at the system bar and found that there was indeed an additional state, the effect of which was that the tongue became five times larger after breaking the contract, which lasted for a whole week.

Although not a particularly serious consequence, it should be enough to deter the underage wizards.

In fact, judging from the proud nature of those little wizards in Slytherin House, as long as they win the gamble head-on, no matter how angry they are, most of them will not choose to snitch.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ivan's mouth quietly hooked, in this way, the gold gallons needed to buy the potion should be enough.
