Professor McGonagall is stern, but not the kind of person who has to worry about everything and is very controlling.

Students choose how they want to spend their pocket money, and that's their freedom.

Even if she was like Mr. Potter, who had all kinds of rare magical materials sent in every day, she wouldn't ask more.

Only, you can't be deceived.

In order to make money, Ludo did almost anything to sell his things, and praised Harry to the sky, and many young wizards were bewitched by him, and they all threw their pocket money for a month or two on the "Mr. Potter Five-Minute Speedrun" bet.

Others, throwing money at "Delacour or Mr. Krum to win the cup".

George and Fred wanted to get involved, too.

Declined by Ludo.

He has only suffered losses on these two people, not to mention losing a lot of money. Just saying that the identities of the two of them are good friends of Mr. Potter, he does not dare to take their money.

Although Mr. Porter is upright and does not go along with others, he does these "lowly" things.

But what if?

For George, Fred, and his godfather, join forces to get revenge on themselves

It's not impossible.

Until the day before the start of the game, just in Hogwarts, Ludo received more than three thousand Galleons.

"Mr. Potter will complete the project in twenty minutes." It is the most popular bet, and Ludo also thinks it is the safest option, giving low odds: "1:1.001", betting on one galleon to win less than five nats.

The highest paying bet is "Mr. Potter will finish the project in an hour" and pays as much as "1:250".

Under Ludo's lobbying, nearly five hundred Galleons were put into it.

Mostly Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Ravenclaws, through divination, came up with this option as perhaps the most cost-effective.

As for the Slytherins, they don't talk about magic or reason, they just curse, and they want to see Harry Potter overturn.

Well. It has to be the kind of rollover that the Triwizard Cup left at Hogwarts.

In the final round of the event, the best warriors will be decided.

The Ministry of Magic wanted to open Hogwarts and allow anyone to enter, but Dumbledore forcibly vetoed it, he didn't allow it, and they still haven't figured out what the Death Eaters are trying to figure out.

The Ministry of Magic was resolute, but no bigger than Dumbledore's wand.

In the end, only Warriors' families were allowed to issue invitations, as well as those vetted by Dumbledore.

The Dursleys were also invited.

Femnon reluctantly agreed, for the sake of his wife's face.

The day before the game, Harry went to pick them up at the train station, along with the Weasleys.

"Uncle, auntie, I'm glad you can come." Harry welcomed them.

"It's Dudley who is making a big fuss." Femnon didn't have a good face, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have come." ”

"It's amazing that a freak like you would use an ordinary person's train."

"I always thought you were lying."

He said this, his eyes kept on his wife.

"Maybe you don't like it, but I'm afraid my aunt has been waiting for this day." Harry and Arthur embraced, as they dotted his uncle's thoughts.

Petunia turned her head to the side.

"Harry, you never said your uncle's family was so interesting." Arthur was enthusiastic, "Muggle life is much richer than I thought. ”

"Oh my God, Mr. Dursley's drill rig is a miraculous machine that can dig more than seven hundred yards underground."

Harry led the way: "Let's talk as we go." ”

They walked out of the station.

Get on Thestrals' carriage.

Penny stared, her eyes full of emotions that were too complicated to say why.

She used to want to come here, and she hated it so much, but when she let go of all her emotions and stopped wanting to come here, she finally got such an opportunity.

Enter from the gate all the way to the bottom of the castle.

"I thought you were going to be in the eerie underground." Feynon muttered, somewhat shocked at the grandeur of the castle.

"We're not like that." Arthur patiently and enthusiastically explained, "Those were rumors that you Muggles had slandered us a long time ago. ”

"Snape has always been gloomy." Penny immediately retorted.

Arthur opened his mouth, speechless.

Snape was indeed such a man.

The little wizard next to him looked at Penny in shock, oh my God, is that Potter's aunt?

Is their family so brave and fearless?

That's why you came to Hogwarts, and you were so unkind to Professor Snape?

They walked into the castle.

Penny was shocked by the moving portraits, the occasional resting armor, and the ghosts that walked through and frightened Dudley into a pale.

Arthur enthusiastically and proudly explained these things to them, and introduced their history.

They didn't live in the little wizards' bedrooms, Dumbledore thoughtfully arranged a place for them to live, the house-elves were busy with this, and everyone else was okay, but among the relatives that Mr. Potter came, except for Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin, who were wizards, the remaining three were Muggles.

They barely cared for Muggles.

Dudley quickly adapted to the environment, and even wanted to go out on a solo adventure, but was stopped by Crookshankshan, and Harry assigned it a mission to keep an eye on Dudley during this time.

Hogwarts may not be so safe again, but not a single child can run around.

Unlike Penny, Fernon does dislike wizards - especially since that meeting with James Potter.

He preferred to stay and introduce the rig to Arthur - as the company's gold salesman, he could tell that this wizard, who knew almost nothing about ordinary people, had a great desire to buy rigs.

As long as the thing can be sold, well, it has to be settled in pounds, so he doesn't care who the customer is.

Petunia and Dudley, led by Harry, visit Hogwarts.

Gryffindor's common room, the Astronomy Tower, the Owl Shed, and the Potions classroom.

They also met Snape.

"Long time no see, Snape." Penny greeted him.

Snape nodded hastily, tilted his head over her, and hurried away.

"What's the matter with his hands?" Penny looked at his empty left arm, a little surprised, "I remember him seemingly."

"I cut it off." Harry was blunt.

Penny was stunned, a few simple words, which made her a little unresponsive.

"He is partly responsible for my mother's death." Harry didn't run away from the question.

"He? Snape? Petunia tilted her head back.

Harry nodded.

Penny choked, her relationship with her sister was not very good, but after all, they were blood relatives, she gritted her teeth, strode after her, and slapped Snape several times.

He didn't dodge, and he slapped and slapped.

Some emotions don't fade with the passage of time.

That night, Penny cried for a long time, and Femnon comforted her for a long time.

Rumors of Potter's relatives spread throughout the castle.

Some people say that Potter's relatives are very powerful people in the Muggle world, and even Professor Snape does not dare to offend.

It has also been said that Potter's relatives are very powerful knights, and Snape can't beat her.

Tall and thin Aunt Penny, in their mouths, is gradually rumored to be a burly female knight who can eat a cow.

June 24.

Even if the competition is imminent, the little wizards still have to attend classes normally.

In the Daily Prophet, Rita's report on the incident was published - since her relationship with Potter and Dumbledore, she has also become one of the few people who can freely enter and leave Hogwarts during this time.

And with backstage, her long-lost sense of justice seems to be returning.

The front page was not dedicated to the Triwizard Tournament, but instead published an article scolding Ludo Bagman, cursing shamelessness and cheating the little wizard out of his money with every word.

And dismantle his gambling game cleanly.

After Rita's analysis, they realized that as long as the most unlikely scenario didn't happen, that is, "Mr. Potter will finish the project in an hour", then Ludo would not lose money.

He could cheat at least two thousand five hundred Galleons from the little wizards, and counting the bets of the adult wizards, he could earn more than twenty thousand Galleons.

Shouting letters are piling up at the Ministry of Magic.

But it didn't work.

Ludo is at Hogwarts at this moment.

After the dinner, the young wizards and the invited audience were led by the professor to the Quidditch pitch.

The warriors followed behind Ludo.

The Quidditch pitch had long since been remodeled to be the same as it had been before, with a twenty-foot hedge surrounding the vast field, even the dome - just in case a warrior suddenly mastered a flying spell or a potion that made people fly.

The spectators were seated outside the Quidditch pitch, and the three huge curtains were still in front of them.

Ludo led Harry and the others to the tent by the entrance.

Maxim, Karkaroff, and Dumbledore were waiting inside, along with several headmasters and Hagrid, who was resigned, hunched by his neck.

"Mr. Bagman, I hope you will be fair." Maxim spoke angrily.

Ludo opened the market, and there were more than twenty bets on how Harry would win.

But there is only one bet related to Fleur's win, and the odds are ridiculously high, higher than the odds of Krum winning.

"I've always been fair." Ludo's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said very confidently, "Don't worry, I won't favor any warrior." ”

Karkaroff and Maxim laughed in unison.

How could this man be embarrassed to say such a disobedient thing?

"You already know what the game is about." Ludo cleared his throat and began his final pre-match instructions, "That's to go through the maze, get the top three trophy in the center of the maze, and bring it out." ”

'The performance in the first two rounds is important, but the third round is what makes the difference.

He paused.

"Depending on your position in the first two rounds, the order in which you enter the maze is decided, with Mr. Potter being the first, and a minute later, Mr. Krum being the second."

"Another minute, Miss Delacour."

Krum and Fleur frowned.

They were already a little worse than Harry, and now in the order of entry, Harry had the advantage again

"I've got a little reminder from you." Ludo looked at Harry meaningfully, "Although it is a matter of pride to be the first to enter the center of the labyrinth and lift the Triumph Cup. ”

"However, the final condition for victory is to take the Triumph Cup out of the labyrinth."

"Of course, if, I'm just saying that if one of the Warriors lifts the Final Three Cup and the remaining two Warriors are eliminated, then he won't have to get out of the maze."

Fleur didn't hold back and asked, "In the last round, warriors can attack each other?" ”

"All the time." Ludo nodded, "From the beginning of the first round, this has not been banned. ”

Krum and Fleur stared.

"It seems that the first Triwizard Tournament since we resumed is still a little unfamiliar to you." Ludo winked and smiled slyly at them, "Actually, a century ago, the warriors made trouble with each other, which is also a big sight. ”

"I thought you were all gentlemen, well, and ladies."

"You don't think you know?"

Krum and Fleur looked at each other, they nodded, and in an instant, the two reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"But we don't want to see a lot of harm." Dumbledore added, "While honour is important, I think the morality of the human heart is something more important. ”

Maxim and Karkaroff pouted.

Of course, you can say such things with confidence.

Harry is now the only favourite to win the title, and he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks.

"The third project is dangerous." Ludo softly snorted, and continued, "Although the labyrinth is not very large, we have put many dangerous dark magic creatures in it. ”

"There are also some dangerous magical beasts."

"I dare say it's even more dangerous than the Forbidden Forest."

Fleur and Krum's brows furrowed again.

Harry didn't have any mood swings.

The Forbidden Forest is his other home, and he comes and goes freely.

"Let me reiterate, I hope I don't see Warriors hurt those magical creatures again." Ludo's tone was serious, straight-faced, and accentuated, "At least one life is spared, you don't have to start so quickly." ”

Harry makes no guarantees.

Ludo sighed and waved his hand: "For the walls of the labyrinth, we asked Professor Dumbledore, the other two Headmasters, and some other magic masters to work together, and we made sure that no one could destroy those walls." ”

"So the warriors don't have to try to destroy it, and you have enough time to find another new path."

Maxim cried out in dissatisfaction: "Mr. Bagman! ”

This was good news for Harry.

Krum and Fleur try at most, and when they find that they can't destroy it, they will find their way again.

And the most powerful Harry, who might look down on the Ministry of Magic, will try a little more - and now to say that the magic on the fence has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic is not to eliminate a time-wasting option for him?

Ludo coughed twice, "I'm reminding the warriors. ”

"Alright, now the warriors are ready."

"We have to go out and get ready for the start of the third round of projects."

"By the way, one more thing, if you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, you will shoot red sparks into the sky, but this also means that you give up the game."
