Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 845: Make money from 1
After watching Quidditch matches for several days, Albert found the Quidditch World Cup to be less interesting than he thought. Especially after the excitement of the past few days, the initial sense of novelty began to subside, and even Nia's curiosity about the wizard camp was greatly weakened, and she even stopped going out at night to hang out. Leiria and Kathleen are interested in the beauty potions researched.
Women are always very concerned about their appearance, just like men always like beautiful women.
"It's almost time!" Albert glanced at the unfolded pocket watch, put down the newspaper and prepared to find Blake. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the house elf to watch over Nia.
Sirius' tent is in the camp next door. It takes about ten minutes to walk there, which is not too far. After all, the Quidditch World Cup stadium can accommodate 100,000 people, which means there will be at least 10,000 tents. , it is normal to be divided into several camping areas.
If it weren't for the wizard's magical tent, Albert wondered if the land could hold so many wizards without being detected by Muggle satellites?
Compared with the night, the camp during the day is very deserted, many wizards are making up for sleep, and of course some wizards are packing their tents and preparing to leave. There are many wizards who only watch one game, after all Quidditch tickets are not cheap.
"Albert, this way, this way."
As Albert walked through the camp, he found his roommate Lee Jordan waving desperately at him, and standing beside him was a black wizard who looked very much like him, and seemed to hear his son shouting He stopped talking to the man beside him, but turned his head and looked at Lee Jordan's line of sight.
"When did you arrive. By the way, this is my father." Lee Jordan warmly introduced his father to Albert.
"Oh, dear Ludo, let me think about the stakes for a while, and I'll find you later, okay?" Mr. Lee threw an apologetic look at Bagman, then stepped forward with a smile. Albert said hello, "You are Albert. I often hear Jordan mention you. Originally, I wanted to invite you to watch the game."
Bagman, who was left to the side, could not help frowning, but also looked at the young man in front of him curiously. He always felt that the other party was a little familiar. After hearing the name of Albert, he remembered that the other party was Who.
"Albert Anderson, the most talented wizard of the century?" Bagman said in an exaggerated tone.
"Hello, Mr. Bagman," said Albert, pretending to be surprised, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"You know each other?" Mr. Li asked curiously.
"Mr Bagman is the commentator of the Quidditch World Cup," explained Albert.
"Mr. Anderson is now a big celebrity. He has won two international awards in one month. How about you, want to place a bet on the competition? Ireland has a good chance of winning this year." Bagman said brightly.
"Okay Ludo, don't teach bad boys, let's talk about the stakes later!" Mr. Li interrupted before Bagman, "Albert, come in and sit for a while, and have a taste by the way. My latest tea."
"Okay, see you later." Bagman frowned, turned and walked away.
"Dad said that Bagman likes to gamble very much, and always likes to take bets everywhere." Lee Jordan warmly invited Albert into the tent and poured him a cup of hot tea with a silver kettle.
Albert glanced at the fresh mint in the cup and took a sip. The pot was made of green tea, which tasted good.
"If you can win money, who doesn't like gambling?" Albert put down his teacup and said meaningfully: "However, I heard that Bagman lost a lot of money."
"How much money did you put in?" Lee Jordan asked straight to the point.
"No." Abbott noticed that Lee Jordan's father was looking at him, and said, "However, Mr Bagman is right, Ireland has a good chance of winning and has a good chance of winning this year's tournament. Quidditch World Cup Champion."
"That's great."
The three chatted for a while about the game, and Albert left.
Lee Jordan's father looked at the bag of Galleons on the table and said to his son, "You are an extraordinary friend!"
"Of course it's not ordinary. That's a genius who won two international awards in one month, and he has won more prize money than many people have earned in a few years." Lee Jordan rubbed his hands with a smile and asked: " Dad, how much do you plan to bet, this is a sure-fire deal."
"Let's give him the same amount. I estimate that your friend is more than 80% asking us to help bet." Lee Jordan's father naturally knew that he couldn't stab at a person, and was going to look for other unlucky people.
If Bagman is bald, he won't get the money back.
"Treasure your relationship well, it's not easy to find good friends." After Albert left a bag of Galleons, Lee Jordan's father no longer doubted Albert's judgment.
Albert did find a few acquaintances who were willing to help bet. As for doing it himself, it was too eye-catching. Adhering to the principle of making money together, many reliable acquaintances helped for reasons. Extremely reliable.
After greeting many acquaintances along the way, Albert finally came to Sirius' tent, Hermione and Lupin were setting up a grill, and Harry and Ron were helping them.
However, they are more of a disservice.
"Harry, you and Ron go get some water back." Sirius handed the bucket to Harry and Ron.
"See you later."
After Harry greeted Albert, he took the bucket and left with Ron.
"Let's go inside and talk about magazines and publications." Sirius warmly embraced Albert's shoulders and led him into the tent.
Hermione looked suspiciously at the two who entered the tent, feeling that they seemed to have some personal business to discuss, so she didn't want to disturb them.
Sirius' tent is very luxurious, but it has an old-fashioned atmosphere that seems to have been around for a while.
As soon as Albert sat down, Sirius placed a bag of gold coins in front of him.
"You're right, Bagman is really unreliable, he only gave me half Galleons." Sirius crossed his hands and said to Albert, "The other half continues to bet, but this time Bagman Man has learned to be smart, and the odds are not high."
Albert took the purse and reminded kindly: "You can go to other bookmakers to bet, don't stare at Bagman alone, if he owes a lot of debt, he will definitely default on it. "
"You're right, but I haven't found another bookmaker yet." Sirius was also worried that Bagman would suddenly default on his account. If you really owe a bunch of debt, you will definitely do it.
"Many wizards like to gamble," Albert said without hesitation. "You can always find it."
"By the way, are you interested in investing in magazine publications? We plan to follow your suggestion to start a Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine. Remus is the editor-in-chief. You know, he used to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"You shouldn't be short of money, right?" Albert's expression was a little weird, and he didn't seem to understand why Sirius asked him to invest.
"To tell you the truth, I started a magazine just to find a job for Remus. You should also know that his werewolf status makes it difficult to find a decent job in the magical world." Sirius sighed: " Of course, we don't need you to give a lot of Galleons, as long as you occasionally help with some ideas, and usually don't need your help. I can also give you three-tenths of the shares. If you really lose money in the end, I can use the Galleons. Long Yuan will buy back your shares at the original price."
Albert felt that Blake was more like deciding this matter with a quick mind, but the conditions given by the other party were very sincere!
"I don't seem to have any reason to refuse." Albert thought for a moment, then smiled, "As long as there is no mistake, the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts can indeed sell well in recent years. Don't worry about not making money."
When Sirius heard Albert's agreement, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The conditions he gave were quite generous.
However, considering Albert's idea of making money together, and the fact that the other party helped him win such a large sum of Galleons, Sirius felt that he should be more generous.
Albert is not short of money at all, so he won't know how much he won this time.
Albert can find himself, and naturally he can find others to help bet, and no one knows that he does that, but the reason why Sirius is determined to recruit the other party is that Albert is a very suitable friend to make. It's not hard to see this in his attitude towards his friends.
Of course, Albert also helped himself out of trouble, and Sirius saw the robbers from the Albert quartet, but they were much better than the previous robbers, and they were not yet Bullying like me and James used to be.
Ever since Sirius learned that Albert had paid to help two friends open a shop, he was ashamed of who he was, and he wanted to help Remus find a decent job and make his life as good as it gets. so hard.
If I could be like Albert, maybe the bad things that happened back then wouldn't happen.
Although Sirius hates Peter, he also realizes that the tragedy of the year may have been caused by them.
It's so naive!
He recalled more than once that if he and James hadn't invited Peter to join the Order of the Phoenix, perhaps Peter wouldn't have been forced to join the Death Eaters.
But there is no once, and no if.
James and Lily died, and he was imprisoned for more than ten years. Peter once again took refuge in Voldemort, threatening Harry's safety.
The two sides are already mortal enemies.
"Sirius, the barbecue is ready." Hermione's voice came from outside, and Sirius, who had been immersed in his thoughts, suddenly regained his senses and gave Albert an apologetic smile.
"In two days, I will study other magazine publications with Remus. Let's set a simple framework first. Let's chat at that time. By the way, the name of the magazine publication is temporarily called "Defense Guide". If You can think of better names." Sirius invited Albert out for a barbecue.
"By the way, what is the slogan of the magazine?" Albert asked suddenly.
"The slogan of the magazine?" Sirius was a little confused, obviously not understanding the meaning of this.
"The magazine slogan of Transfiguration Today is to change lives," Albert reminded. "To put it bluntly, that's what the magazine is about."
"What do you think is suitable to use?" Sirius felt that looking for Albert was really the right thing to do. Neither he nor Lupin had a clear idea about starting a magazine, which is why Lupin thought they would lose money .
"Stay away from danger and protect yourself." Albert said with a smile, "Teach everyone how to stay away from danger and how to use magic to protect yourself. You can start with spells, plants and dark creatures, just like teaching students black magic in class. Defense."
"You convinced him?" Lupin looked at Sirius in surprise while listening to Albert's analysis.
"Are you really going to start a magazine?" Hermione was equally surprised.
"Hermione can also help, publish some papers in magazines, and even learn from other journals, solicit relevant papers from all Hogwarts students, and give everyone a chance to be famous. I think many people will be willing to publish in magazines. of the Defense Against the Dark Arts paper."
"Really?" Hermione handed Albert a skewer of grilled meat.
"As long as the quality isn't too bad, it's fine. "Transfiguration of the Day," "Innovation of Spells," and "Master of Practical Potions" are all like this." Albert has written many papers, so he is very clear about these. .
"It's not as simple as you said." Harry swallowed the food in his mouth and muttered softly.
"Have you seen the naysayers?" Albert asked suddenly.
"What is that?" Everyone looked at each other, obviously not knowing there was such a thing.
"The wizarding newspaper published by Xenophilius Lovegood." Albert looked at Ron and said, "Perhaps, you know who Lovegood is."
"Lovegood is near my house." Ron nodded. "But we don't have much to do with them."
"How about that publication?" Hermione asked curiously ~IndoMTL.com~. "Albert said with a weird expression: "You can get a copy, and you will find that wizarding publications are not as difficult as you think. As long as there is content that is useful to wizards, people will be willing to buy them, and the entire British magic In the world, the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts is a complete mess, and even students abroad know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is notoriously bad. It's all thanks to that **** curse at Hogwarts, who knows who the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor will be next semester? "
"Alastor Moody, a retired Auror, an old friend of Dumbledore." Lupin noticed that everyone was looking at him, and quickly explained: "I asked Dumbledore from Dumbledore. I also wrote a letter to Moody, telling him about the Defence Against the Dark Arts class."
"Dumbledore's old friend?" Albert's tone was odd.
"Is something wrong?"
"That curse is not a joke." Albert's face was even more weird, "Professor Dumbledore really has the heart to let his old friend take risks. Professor Lupin, maybe you should write to the mu Professor Dee, tell him about the curse and early resignation, and maybe it will save him."
"Does the curse really exist?"
"For fifty years, do you think that's a coincidence?" Albert really couldn't understand the thoughts of these people.
Are they unwilling to believe it, or are they really stupid?
