Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 846: Behind the scenes
"Sorry Bagman, but I do have to leave today." Sirius pretended to be helpless, "Please help me settle the remaining Galleons first."
"Aren't you going to stay and watch the Quidditch World Cup final?" Bagman exaggerated as if he had heard some unbelievable news, "This is the World Cup final, so you just left? Harry doesn't. Knowing how disappointing it will be, it's been a rare opportunity for England to miss the trophy for three decades."
"No, I have to go." Sirius glanced at Lupin, who was packing his things, shook his head and said, "However, Harry will stay and continue to watch the final, and the Weasleys will come to see Quidditch today. World Cup finals, I've asked Arthur to help take care of those kids."
Bagman was still a little unwilling to let Sirius leave like this. The guy in front of him won a lot of Galleons and he never lost.
Damn!
"Look, Arthur's here." Sirius said, pointing somewhere.
Bagman looked in the direction of Sirius' finger and saw red hair with a Weasley logo.
"Okay, then do you want to continue betting, the probability of Ireland winning this year is very high." Seeing that the way of changing the subject was useless, Bagman changed his method: "Little Agatha Tim S thought the finals would last a week, and she also staked out half of Eel Farm's stock."
"I agree with you and believe Ireland will win, but I don't think the game will last that long, Bulgaria's Klum is a great Seeker, it's hard to imagine him not catching gold in a week Snitch." Sirius chatted with Bagman, unknowingly thinking that Sirius was once a good Quidditch player.
"Honestly, I think Krum is better than Lynch and is more likely to catch the Snitch to end the game, but Bulgaria could easily be pulled apart by Ireland in scoring, and the gap between the two players is clear. So far, Bulgaria has been relying on Krum to catch the Snitch to win, and once the score exceeds 150, there is no chance of winning."
"You're right, so are you going to keep betting?" Bagman said with a smile on his face: "If you bet on Ireland to win, but Viktor Klum will catch the gold If you're a snitch, I can give you very good odds. Don't look at me like that, I just want to win you once, it's really frustrating to keep losing."
"Okay, then I'll add some more bets. I think the Irish team will score first, and after the game, the difference between the two sides will not exceed 30 points." Sirius seemed to be interested and asked Ba with great confidence. Gehman, "Four points add up, what odds are you going to give me."
"How about this number?" Bagman gestured for eight.
"Okay, I bet five hundred Galleons." Sirius nodded in agreement, "but you have to settle the remaining gold coins with me first."
"I thought you were very confident. This is my highest odds, and the chance is rare." Bagman's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
"Because the probability of losing the bet is very high, I don't dare to press it all." Sirius glared at Bagman and told the other party to stop, "Okay, you should settle yesterday's money first. "
Bagman reluctantly paid for the remaining balance, then opened a parchment note to Sirius, and turned to greet Arthur, who was coming this way, without seeing him at all. Sirius slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
Of course, they expected that Bagman might be reluctant to pay back the money, so they made the exaggerated bet just now, using the remaining part to use Galleon to recover, lest Bagman finally default on his account.
In order to make sure Bagman didn't take the Leprechaun's gold coins to kill himself, Sirius still opened the purse and checked the gold coins a little. Although he felt that Bagman should not dare to do that, there were some things he had to guard against.
However, Sirius naturally has an easier way to deal with it. According to Albert's suggestion, he deliberately let Ludo Bagman see that he hired a goblin to deal with winning gold coins, and revealed that he was right Willingness to buy and lease shops in Jiaoxiang Lane.
"Arthur, Harry and Hermione will leave you alone." Sirius stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Weasley after Bagman and Arthur greeted him.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the kids," Arthur assured.
"Anyone want to bet on the game?" Bagman asked everyone with a smile on his face.
The crowd looked at each other.
"Sirius won a lot of Galleons from me, he even made a bet with me that Ireland would win the game and score first, but Viktor Klum would catch the Snitch and the game was over. In the end, the score of both sides will not exceed thirty points." Bagman had to use Sirius's deeds to attract everyone, "I gave a very high odds, does anyone want to follow? Sirius has never been He lost thousands of Galleons from me."
"Really?" Fred and George looked at Sirius in unison.
"Well, I've been betting on who will win. The odds are not high, but I did win some money." Sirius said honestly: "Ireland has a good chance of winning this year, and Bagman thinks so too."
"What are the odds?" George asked curiously.
"This number." Sirius compared eight.
"We give 50 Galleons, just like Sirius." After Fred and George looked at each other, they immediately took out a bag of Galleons from their pockets. This bag of Galleons contained one of Ron and Ginny's. share.
"Boys, gambling is a bad habit," Arthur Weasley said in a low voice, "and it's almost all your savings."
"Arthur is right, gambling is really not a good habit. If you want to make money, you can invest in my Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine publication." Sirius remembered Albert's words and couldn't bear Fred and his friends. George fell into the pit and said, "Don't worry about the newspapers losing money. Albert is very optimistic about the branch, and even invested a large sum of Galleons, accounting for nearly one-third of the share."
"Don't spoil Sirius," Bagman eagerly wrote to the Weasleys, then turned his head and asked, "Arthur, do you want to place a bet?"
"Okay, then I'll give you a Galleon...I bet on Ireland to win." Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, and finally took a Galleon from his pocket.
In fact, wizards are just in a hurry, and don't want to gamble with their children. However, Bagman helped to get their tickets, so they had to give each other some face.
"Anyone else want to gamble?" Bagman looked at Harry, who seemed to be about to dig Galleon.
"That...if Sirius wants to start a magazine, I'm willing to help out with some money." Harry knew why Sirius started a magazine, so he invested all of the Galleon he originally planned to bet on. Sirius's magazine publication, and Harry was going to make a hundred Galleons.
Since Albert is optimistic about Sirius's magazine publications, he should not lose money and go out of business.
"Don't listen to Blake's nonsense, that guy has no shortage of money at all. The Galleons he has won from me are enough for him to run several magazines." Bagman pouted, but he was still satisfied with the current results. , after invoicing Fred and George, he turned and left.
"Albert seems to be here with his girlfriend to watch the game." Fred asked Sirius, "Have you met him?"
"Albert is at the camp next door. If you have time, you can help me bring the parchment to him, so that Albert can take time to see what needs to be revised." Sirius said, and put a few parchments. The paper was handed to Fred with their initial design for the magazine publication.
"If it's fast enough, it might be possible to produce the first edition of the "Defense Guide" magazine before school starts."
"By the way, Bagman," Sirius stopped Ludo Bagman, who was about to leave, and asked, "If I want to advertise at the Quidditch final, is it too late?" /
"This...should be added, but the advertising fee for the World Cup final may not be cheap." Bagman frowned and asked: "Isn't your magazine publication not out yet, and start advertising now ?"
"The content of the magazine has probably been finalized, it won't take too long, and it's only the 22nd, and there are still several days before September. Even if you can't get the machine in the end, you can go to Lofgu Borrow his machine." Sirius smiled and said, "As long as I can help make this happen, I'm willing to pay a consultation fee."
Saying that, Sirius took ten Galleons from the bag and put them in Bagman's hand.
"Okay, I'll go ask you, but I don't guarantee that it will be included." Bagman immediately agreed to help, and it wouldn't waste much of his time.
This seemed odd to Bagman, but what he didn't know was that it was Albert's idea to advertise the World Cup final.
In Albert's opinion, World Cup advertising is a good way to quickly gain fame, and after the game, the Dark Mark is undoubtedly the best publicity, a magazine and newspaper to teach everyone how to protect themselves. The panic period of the magic world was born, and it will definitely attract everyone's attention. As long as the insecure residents are sure that the content of the magazine is valid, they will definitely be happy to order, and then there will be no shortage of money.
While it initially cost a lot of Galleons, Sirius wasn't worried, as the gold he got from Bagman was enough for them to spend a long time.
Moreover, Sirius didn't have a good idea of how to quickly become famous, so he chose to believe Albert's judgment and plan.
What's more, Sirius knew that he had to give Albert enough trust before the other party would help him plan the publication of the magazine.
"What's the matter with the press?" Ginny looked at Sirius who had left with Bagman, wondering Ron.
"Sirius is planning to start a Defence Against the Dark Arts magazine," Ron explained.
"It is said to have been an offer from Albert," Harry added.
"Albert always complains about the poor defense against the dark arts in the British magic world. Even foreign students know about it." Fred and George are not surprised, they both know that Albert has a special interest, such as Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Okay kids, let's go to camp and set up the tent." Mr. Weasley greeted everyone to leave with him: "Remus, I'll take them there first."
"Well, goodbye Arthur, goodbye Harry, Hermione, and Ron." Lupin waved his wand, shoved the tent quickly and completely into his backpack, and stood there waiting for Sirius to get things done. Come meet and go home together.
"Goodbye, Professor Lupin." Harry and Mr. Weasley left.
"You just bet like that?"
Ron, who had been silent, suddenly asked Fred and George
Ron had to worry about it.
No way, the Galleons that Fred and George bet on include a part of him, and if he loses, he'll really be a pauper.
"The possibility is high, and Albert also thinks Ireland will win the championship." Both Fred and George feel that Sirius can win a lot of Galleons from Bagman. Albert has something to do, especially Sirius makes When Albert invested in magazines and newspapers, they confirmed this matter. After all, the two had helped Albert before and were no strangers to this kind of operation.
"Don't chat over there, come and help set up the tent." Mr. Weasley called three people over to help set up the tent. It took them nearly half an hour to finally be helped by Mr. Weasley. Set up the tent.
"We need some water, and we need to pick up some firewood for fuel." Mr. Weasley said to everyone, "Let's divide the labor."
"Dad, we have to go to Albert, and we have a stove, so there's no need to use firewood to make a fire~IndoMTL.com~ After the Weasley brothers dropped their backpacks, they took the parchment that Sirius gave them. slipped away.
"They'll be surprised when they see Albert's tent," Ron muttered softly. "That guy is weird, and there are weird house-elves helping to prepare the food."
"House-elf?" asked Ginny, bewildered, as far as she knew, Albert was a Muggle wizard.
"It should have been hired by Albert!" Hermione said without hesitation.
"Hermione, no one pays for house-elves." Ron felt that Hermione didn't understand the situation.
"Perhaps, Albert is an exception." Hermione said stubbornly: "He is very good to people."
"Maybe, that guy is a weirdo." Ron was too lazy to discuss this with Hermione.
"If Mr. Anderson does employ a house-elf, you'd better remind him to be safe, lest the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control trouble him."
"Mr. Weasley, can't wizards hire house-elves?" Hermione asked, frowning.
"This..." Mr. Weasley's expression was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his voice as if afraid of being heard by others: "There is almost no such precedent in the magical world, because no wizard is willing to waste Gallen hiring them. Of course, as long as they don't It's not a big problem to be known, don't cause big trouble,"
