Chapter 220: Old Naughty Bagman
"Why can't you see anything?" Hermione lowered the binoculars from her eyes and turned her head to look at Louis suspiciously, "What's going on?" β
At this time, the twins also came over, and also very tacitly put a leg lock spell on Ron and a tongue lock throat, George put his arm on Fred's shoulder, and showed a wicked smile: "What's the matter?" β
Fred squeezed out the same smile on his face: "yes, how could it be?" β
Knowing the twins' bad personalities, Hermione didn't think much of it, just glanced at them and put the binoculars in front of her.
After all, this telescope was brought by Louis, and it shouldn't have much to do with the twins.
Ron and Harry reached out together to dip the lake on their faces.
Hermione saw that she still couldn't see anything, so she twisted the telescope with her hand.
It was too late, it was too late, and the telescope in her hand suddenly emitted thick black smoke, and at the same time, Hermione's screams rang out.
Emma, who was not far behind her, heard Hermione's screams, and after seeing the black smoke over there, she reached out and cast a wind charm to disperse the black smoke that enveloped Hermione.
Hermione emerged from the black smoke, coughing incessantly, still clutching the telescope in her hands, her eyes turning blue.
"As soon as I squeezed, it just- it gave it to me!" She gasped. Sure enough, they saw two long bullet yellow sticks sticking out of the top of the telescope, each with a small fist on it.
"Road! Easy! This! Hermione snorted, and Louis hurried over to Harry.
It's too brutal, this roar is quite like the roar of a lioness on the African savannah, and it's really blind not to go to the charter wife to practice the lion's roar.
By the way, he raised his hand to dispel Harry and Ron's spells.
"You don't need to lock my tongue and throat, Luis." Harry covered his mouth and whispered, "Since you've seen through it, then someone has to get punched, why can't it be Hermione?" I mean. β
With that, Harry let out a chuckle.
"Hermione, having a good sister like you, really did a lot of good things in her last life." Louis patted Harry on the shoulder and said something back.
Harry didn't answer, turned around and ran away, but before he could run a few steps away he was bound by Hermione's spell and fell into the mud. Louis immediately ducked behind Catherine, poked his head out and shouted, "Hermione! You have to believe me, this matter has nothing to do with me, mainly because Harry came to me with a telescope, I didn't know there was a fist in the telescope! β
"But you know there's a trap in this telescope! Louis! Thank you for trusting you so much! "Hermione has a pair of panda eyes, puffing up like a pufferfish, and she looks very cute.
Louis couldn't hold back and laughed: "You're right, but Miss Panda, I still suggest you go to Aunt Molly and ask for some ointment, oh my God...... Hahaha......"
Hermione didn't understand Louis's words, and Catherine, seeing that she was confused, couldn't help but take a mirror out of her pocket and hand it to Hermione.
Hermione opened the mirror, but she didn't expect a black mist to pop out of the mirror, and after attaching to her face, her face was blackened.
"Hahahaha......" Catherine hugged Louis's body and laughed, watching Hermione crack her mouth and show her teeth to look extremely white against the black face, and the two of them laughed even more happily.
"You ...... You ......" Hermione threw away the mirror, and after the black fog cleared, she saw herself in the mirror, she trembled and pointed at the pair of gloating men and women, and she was angry and cried, squatting on the ground as much as she wanted.
At this time, the others also gathered around, all to see what was going on.
Hermione looked up twitchingly, revealing a big black face comparable to Zhang Fei's.
This is a good thing, except for Aunt Molly, no one else can hold back, even Aunt Molly herself made a "special" sound, but she quickly held back, returned to the car and took out the potion, poured it on Hermione, and cleaned her face again.
γ
"It's so much better, my little Hermione baby is the best-looking, no matter what they are." Aunt Molly patted Hermione comfortingly, and by the way, she glared at Louis and Catherine viciously.
β¦β¦
The picnic went on so well that even Hermione quickly put the prank behind her, and turned around and played wildly with Ginny, chasing and scurrying around the grass like a wild dog on the leash, not at all like she had just broken the defense.
Louis felt okay about this meal, whether to say it or not, Aunt Molly's sandwich was indeed delicious, not like the sandwich that Ron had eaten when he was in the car in the first grade, but it was a lot better than that one.
Not after all...... Well......
When I got back to camp, I saw a man circling in front of their house. Mr. Wesley was delighted, he immediately got out of the car, waved his hand and shouted, "Hey, Ludo, I'm here ......"
Following Mr. Wesley's greeting, they saw a very striking man, not even Snape, who was dressed in black robes and in bat form.
Ludo Bagman wore a long Quidditch robe with the same wide bars as yellow and black, and a giant wasp printed on his chest - a dress that was actually more appropriate for Dumbledore, after all, Professor Dumbledore's nickname came from the old bee.
Looking at his body, it is said that he used to be physically strong, but now he is beginning to obviously decline in middle age. A long robe was tightly taut on the belly, and everyone was sure that Mr. Bagman must not have been so blessed when he played Quidditch for England.
Good guy, it looks like he's been pregnant for months, and it's obviously full of oil and water in his belly.
Bagman's nose was flat, but his round blue eyes, short blond hair, and flushed complexion made him look like an oversized boy.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Mr. Bagman shouted happily. He walked and jumped as if he had a bullet under his feet, and it was clear that he was in a state of extreme excitement, judging by his movements.
Maybe people get younger and younger, Dumbledore usually has a lot of childishness, and Ludo Bagman actually has a bit of this sign, it seems that when he gets old, he will definitely be a very cute old naughty.
"Arthur, old fellow, oh, my dear old fellow, long time no see." He came to the Yellow Fire and said breathlessly, "What a nice weather, isn't it?" The weather was fantastic! Where to find such weather! There are certainly no clouds at night...... The whole preparation was well organized..... I didn't have much to do! β
Mr. Bagman is a man who works at the Ministry of Magic, and the way to greet him is to use the weather to make a fuss, and it would be a shame not to stay in London.
Behind him, a group of haggard-faced Ministry of Magic officials hurried by, and there were signs in the distance that someone was playing with magic fire, and the purple sparks jumped more than twenty feet high, which was very unscientific, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic were obviously tired of this, serving this group of great wizards, and beware of not being discovered by Muggles, this kind of work was not paid, which was the most worrying.
Percy hurriedly stepped forward and held out his hand. Obviously, although he was unimpressed with the way Ludo Bagman managed his department, that didn't stop him from wanting to make a good impression.
"Ah, yes," said Mr. Wesley, smiling, and even though he was not very pleased with Percy's petty bureaucratic style, he patted his son Percy on the shoulder and introduced him to Mr. Bagman, "This is my son Percy." Just came to work at the Ministry of Magic...... This is Fred - no, look at my memory, this is George, sorry that's Fred, this is Bill, Charlie, Ron, my daughter Ginny, this is Ron's friends Harry and Hermione. β
As he spoke, he began to introduce Louis to Ludo Bagman again: "This is Sirius Black, you should have seen his wanted notice, but Sirius on the wanted list is not as handsome as he is now." β
Sirius smiled and greeted Mr. Bagman, who subconsciously put his hand in his arms, as if to pull out his wand, but quickly realized that Sirius was no longer a wanted man, so he smiled awkwardly and reached out to take Sirius's hand.
"This is Harry's classmate, Louis, and his girlfriend Catherine." Mr. Wesley pointed to Christasza, "This is his maid Christasza, and that is his other girlfriend, Liv, and his mother Emma, and Catherine's mother Solan Lianne. β
Mr. Wesley really won't stop introducing this group of people.
When he heard that Louis had two girlfriends and knew each other's identities and was here at the same time, Mr. Bagman leaned back in awe.
This kid ...... This kid really has a bright future...... Mr. Bagman's respect came spontaneously, and he genuinely admired Louis from the bottom of his heart.
"You can do great things." Mr. Bagman took Louis's hand and said with great certainty.
"I don't need you to say it, I'm sure." Louis is equally adamant that he still has that confidence.
"I'll introduce you," Mr. Wesley continued, "this is Ludo Bagman, you know who he is, and we owe it to him that we got such a good ticket. β
Bagman smiled and waved his hand, as if to say that it was nothing.
"Want to make a bet on the game, Arthur?" He asked eagerly, clanging the pockets of his yellow and black robes, which seemed to contain a lot of gold coins, "I have convinced Roddy Pontenay to make a bet with me that he said Bulgaria would score the first goal β and I set him very high odds because I consider Ireland's number three striker is the best I've seen in years β and Agatha Timms Jr. has put half of her Eel Farm stock on it, betting that the game will last a week." β
"Oh....... Oh well, well that na. "Let me think about it," said Mr. Wesley...... I'll make a Galleon bet on Ireland to win, okay? β
"A Galleon?" Mr. Bagman's face fell suddenly, as if he did not expect his old friend to be so stingy, he seemed a little disappointed, but quickly regained his interest, "Very good, very good.... Is there anyone else who wants to gamble?
"They're too young to gamble." Mr. Wesley said, "Molly won't want to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Fred and George quickly pull out a large pile of coins from their pockets.
"We'll weigh one hundred and thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen sicos, and three nats," said Fred, and he and George quickly pulled out all the money they had left, "Bet on Ireland to winβbut Victor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch." β
"Huo, you two awesome young men really have a lot of private money hidden." Mr. Bagman was surprised by the Twins' generous gesture - he was a little skeptical that the two children in front of him were not Mr. Wesley's own, why was his father so stingy, but the children were so generous?
"You probably don't know," said George, "Mr. Bagman. As he spoke, he pulled out a fake wand from his pocket, "We have been selling this kind of magic trick at school, and it is very popular among our classmates. β
He was right, the credits that Louis gave them, they never exchanged for gold coins, but used some magic tricks they made to sell among their classmates - obviously, they didn't exchange gold Galleons, but the other classmates did, and they also accumulated a lot of money through business.
According to irresponsible speculation from people familiar with the matter, the Wesley Twins earned at least more than three thousand gold galleons on their classmates.
Percy couldn't stand it anymore, he lowered his voice, and said with a slight reprimand, "Do you want to show Mr. Bagman your off-the-table?" β
Mr. Bagman, however, did not seem to think that the fake wand was any, and took it from Fred's hand, and with a rattling of the wand turned into a yellow rubber duck, the little yellow duck that Europeans often kept in the bathtub during their baths.
Mr. Bagman laughed teasingly, his childlike face filled with childlike excitement.
"Great, I haven't seen anything so realistic and so interesting in years, and I decided to buy it for five gold gallons!" Mr. Bagman suggested with a smile.
"One gold galleon will do, Mr. Bagman." In good faith, Fred said to Mr. Bagman, "That's what we sell to our classmates. β
But Mr. Bagman did not want to take advantage of the two children, so he took five gold Galleons out of his pocket and placed them in Fred's hand: "No, I think it's worth the price, boys, and I hope you can open a magic trick shop that is even better than Zoko's joke shop." β
