"Arthur, old chap!" he said, coming up to the fire. "What a fine day, isn't it? That's great! Where else can I find such weather? I predict that there won't be any clouds at night. The whole preparation is in order, and there's nothing to do! "
Behind him, a group of haggard officials from the Ministry of Magic hurried past.
In the distance, there were signs that someone was playing with magic fire. Purple sparks shot more than twenty feet into the air.
Everyone expressed their doubts about his prediction, saying that it might rain tonight.
Behind Mr. Weasley, Percy hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand.
"This is my son, Percy. He has just joined the Ministry of Magic!" Mr. Weasley said with a smile, "Sitting there is Sirius Blake, then Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Ron, and my daughter Ginny, whom you've met before. Over here is Elwyn Mason, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter."
He introduced everyone to Bagman. When he saw Sirius, Bagman was obviously a little surprised.
The expression on his face was complicated. It looked more like he was afraid.
Sirius had mentioned that Bagman had once been put on trial for providing confidential information to the Death Eater Luke Wood.
At the time of the trial, they had met for a short time.
He seemed to have recalled his past experiences and was rather fearful of Sirius.
When he heard Harry's name, Bagman was also slightly surprised.
"Well, well, do you want to place a bet on the game?" said Bagman eagerly. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】
After the introduction, he jingled the pockets of his yellow and black robe, which seemed to contain a lot of gold coins.
It seemed that this was his main purpose for coming here.
"I've convinced Roddy Pontney to make a bet with me. He said Bulgaria would score the first goal. I gave him high odds because I thought Ireland's number three striker was the best I've seen in years. Little Agatha Timms has bet half her stock in Eel Farm that it will last a week. "
"Can I bet Garen on Ireland?" Mr Weasley said hesitantly.
"One Garen?!" Bagman was a little disappointed, but he soon regained his interest. "Very well, is there anyone else who wants to bet?"
He looked at Sirius expectantly, but Sirius didn't pay any attention to him.
Bagman touched his nose awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything. He shifted his gaze to the others.
"They are too young to gamble," said Mr. Weasley hastily.
"We'll bet forty-six Garen's, thirty-two Sykes, and eight Nats!" Fred said. He and George quickly took out their money. "Ireland will win, but Wickidor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch."
The funds that Elwyn gave them and the sales revenue from the shop were all confiscated by Lady Weasley, which amounted to almost two hundred gold coins.
Lady Weasley said that she would return it to him on behalf of the twins and forbid Elwyn from giving money to Fred and George.
But this didn't stop the two of them. When the business was at its peak, they had asked Lee Jordan to help them sell a lot of jokes.
Most of the orders from the little wizard Hogwarts's owls were completed this way.
The two of them just went out to collect the money.
When they returned, they secretly told Elwyn about this.
Fred and George planned to use this money as a start-up capital to make a comeback.
They didn't expect that they would take it all out here and participate in a gamble that they couldn't win.
Elwyn didn't think that Fred and George would guess wrong, but he had doubts about Ludo Bagman's character.
"Children!" Mr. Weasley said in a low voice. "I don't want you to gamble, your mother …"
"Don't be a party pooper, Arthur!" Ludo Bagman said gruffly as he excitedly jingled the money in his pocket. "They're old enough to know what they want! You think Ireland will win, but can Krum catch the Golden Snitch? Impossible, children, impossible. I'll give you high odds … "
Ludo Bagman quickly took out his notebook and quill and scribbled the twins' names.
Mr. Weasley looked on helplessly, unable to stop what was happening.
"George, calm down. You can't win!" Elwyn gently tugged at George's robe.
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing!" George said indifferently.
"We've carefully analyzed all the previous games, Wickidor Krum …" Fred said.
"What I mean is, even if you win, this guy may not give you the money!" Elwyn raised his voice and said bluntly.
Obviously, Bagman heard what he said, and his face became a little embarrassed, but it was gone in a flash.
"Children, children, you can go out and ask about my reputation. Old Bagman has always been a man who accepts his losses!" Bagman said loudly. "I can guarantee it as the director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, but I have to say that the chances of you two winning are too low!"
Now that things had come to this, Elwyn didn't say anything else.
He would let Fred and George learn a lesson. When they couldn't get the money, they would know how bad gambling was.
Hopefully, they would remember this in the future, and that was, never gamble.
After handing the signed parchment to Fred, Bagman turned to Mr. Weasley. "Arthur, can you do me a favor? I've been looking for Barty Crouch. The official of the same rank as me in Bulgaria is making things difficult for us, but I can't understand a word he's saying. Barty can solve this problem. He can speak about 150 languages. "
"Mr. Crouch can speak 200 languages!" Percy said excitedly. "Including mermaids, turkeys, and trolls."
Obviously, everyone thought that Percy was bragging.
George even imitated the trolls and made a snoring sound, which made everyone laugh.
Only Percy expressed his dissatisfaction, but he ignored George.
When Bagman sat down in front of the bonfire and was about to drink a cup of tea, the topic shifted to Pertha Jorkins.
This witch had been missing for a few months, but no one cared about it.
Especially considering the current situation of the Albanian forest, she was likely to be in trouble.
As Dumbledore brought Elwyn and Sirius back, news of what happened in the centaur ruins had spread.
Under Dumbledore's initiative, the International Wizard Union would set up a special team to investigate the matter in Albania.
However, it was doubtful how useful this investigation team would be.
That place was originally a lawless area with all kinds of forces mixed together. The wizards killed by the vampires were all dark wizards.
The corpses were all turned into flesh and blood, absorbed by evil gods and indescribable creatures, and now they had all dissipated.
