Chapter 229: A Little Gamble
"Hello, Luis. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Bagman said pleasantly. Although he looks very rough, he is actually not stupid. "By the way, do you want to bet, Arthur? I've convinced Roddy Pontenay to bet with me that he said Bulgaria would score the first goal...... I set him high odds because I took into account that Ireland was the best I've seen in years.......... Agatha Timms Jr. has staked half of her eel farm and bet the game will last a week. ”
"Oh....... Alright then....." Mr. Weasley said with a slight embarrassment, and to him, he was rejecting Bagman's invitation, "Shall I bet on the Irish team with a Galleon?"
"One-Gallon?" Ludo Bagman looked a little disappointed, but quickly regained his interest, "Okay, is there anyone else who wants to gamble?"
"They are too small to participate in gambling. Mr. Weasley refused on behalf of Louis.
"We weighed down thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen sicos, and three nats. Fred said, and he and George quickly pulled out all the money, "Bet on Ireland to win........ But Victor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch..... By the way, we're going to add a fake wand!"
Mr. Bagman took the wand in their hands and examined it carefully, and suddenly, the wand turned into an eraser little *** Mr. German laughed amused.
"Great! I haven't seen anything so realistic in years! I'll buy it for five Galleons!"
Louis nodded slightly when he saw this scene. As he expected, the wizarding world was too boring right now, and the invention of the twins' fake wands would be very interesting to a knowledgeable head of the Ministry of Magic. Although five Galleons is only a price that he can put in a good mood for a while, it does not mean that each of them will be sold for that much price in the future. But in the future, there is no problem in selling one Galleon, which represents a large profit. Not to mention that there are other magic gadgets, which makes Luis glad to have finalized the cooperation with them first.
Mr. Weasley looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe that the twins could come up with so much money: "Kids, I don't want you to gamble....... That's all your savings......"
"Don't be disappointed, Arthur!" Ludo Bagman said loudly, patting himself with interest as he took the Galleon's pocket, "they're grown up and know what they want, don't they? You think Ireland will win, but Krum can catch the snitch? it's almost impossible kids...... But I'm going to give you very high odds.......... Five Galleons with that wand..... So are we ......."
Ludo Bagman quickly pulled out his notebook and quill, and scribbled the names of the Weasley twin brothers, while Mr. Weasley watched helplessly. I have to say that Mr. Weasley is really a very enlightened parent, he will not force his children to do what to do, but only persuade them.
"I'd like to participate too, okay?" Luis interjected.
Bagman looked at Louis awkwardly, "Don't make fun of me, Louis. The official gambling is in the hands of the Pendragon family, and I am just a bet with a few friends...... Besides, I can't afford to take such a big order from you......"
"It's not huge..... How about ten thousand Galleons?" said Louis.
Bagman looked at Louis hesitantly, although 10,000 Galleons is a huge amount of money, but if the odds are small, he can still take it out. What's more, Luis doesn't necessarily have to be in the middle. But he was afraid that Louis would choose a bet with small odds but a high probability of winning, and he knew that the Pendragon family would not give you Galleon for nothing.
"Like Fred and George, I won against Ireland but Krum was able to catch the Golden Snitch. Luis added.
"Deal!" Bagman gritted his teeth and said, the possibility of such a situation was very small, it was equivalent to Louis giving him a large sum of Galleons, and only a fool would not accept it.
Bagman continued to write the name opposite Louis in his notebook, and then he gave them the parchment with Louis and his twin brothers written on them.
Bagman then turned to Mr. Weasley, "Can you do me a favor?" I've been looking for Barty Crouch. The Bulgarian official was always making things difficult for us, but I couldn't understand any of what he said. Barty will solve this problem perfectly, he knows a hundred and fifty languages!"
"Mr. Crouch?" Percy said with a little excitement, "he speaks two hundred languages!" mermaid ..... Turkey's ..... And the ..... of the monster."
"Oh, yes. George said sarcastically, "Who doesn't know the language of a troll, as long as you hum at it." ”
Percy gave George a vicious look, for whom Mr. Crouch was his role model. George insulted his example like this, if it weren't for the bad timing, he would have duel with George!
