The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 846: Behind the scenes

"Sorry Bagman, but I do have something to leave today." Sirius pretended to say helplessly, "You can clear up the remaining Kanon for me first."

"Are you really not staying to watch the Quidditch World Cup final?" Bagman exaggeratedly said as if he had heard some incredible news. "This is the World Cup final. You just left? Harry didn't know there would be What a disappointment, the UK has missed the trophy for 30 years. This is a very rare opportunity."

"No, I have to go." Sirius glanced at Lupin, who was packing his things, and shook his head. "However, Harry will stay and watch the final. The Weasley family will come to see the Quidditch World Cup final today. I have asked Arthur to take care of those children."

Bagman was still a little unwilling to let Sirius leave like this, the guy in front of him had won a lot of Galleon where he hadn't lost once.

hateful!

"Look, Arthur is here." Sirius said, pointing his finger somewhere.

Bagman looked in the direction of Sirius's fingers, and saw the red hair with Weasley's logo.

"Well, do you want to keep betting? The probability of Ireland winning this year is very high." Bagman saw that the change in the subject was useless, so he changed his method: "Little Agatha Tims thinks the final. It will last for a week, and she also weighs half of the stock in the eel farm."

"I agree with you very much and I believe that Ireland will win, but I don't think the game will last that long. Bulgaria's Krum is a great seeker. It's hard to imagine that he won't be able to catch the Snitch in a week." Sirius talked with Bagman and thought that Sirius was once a good Quidditch player.

"To be honest, I think Krum is better than Linzi, and is more likely to catch the Snitch to end the game, but Bulgaria can easily be opened up by Ireland in terms of scoring. The gap between the players on both sides is obvious. So far, Bulgaria has always relied on Krum to catch the Golden Snitch to win. Once the score is exceeded one hundred and fifty points, there is no chance of winning."

"What you said makes sense, do you want to continue to bet?" Bagman said with a smile on his face: "If you bet on Ireland to win, but Victor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch, I can give you very good odds. Don’t look at me that way, I just want to beat you once, and it’s really frustrating to lose all the time."

"Well, then I'll add a little more bet. 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 Bagman very confidently. "Adding up four points, what odds do you plan to give me."

"How about this number?" Bagman made an eight gesture.

"All right, I bet on five hundred gallons." Sirius nodded in agreement, "but you have to settle the remaining gold coins with me first."

"I thought you were very confident, but this is my highest odds, a rare opportunity." Bagman's eyes widened, as if he could not believe what he heard.

"It's because the probability of losing the gambling is so high that I dare not press it all up." Sirius stared at Bagman, letting him stop. "Well, you can settle yesterday's money first."

Bagman reluctantly paid out the money to settle the remaining money, and then opened a parchment note to Sirius, then turned around and greeted Arthur, who was coming over here. He didn’t see Sirius’s micro edge at all. The corners of the mouth evoked.

Of course, they expected that Bagman might be reluctant to pay back the money, so they made the exaggerated bet just now and took back the remaining part with Garon, so that Bagman would not end up wronging the bill.

In order to make sure that Bagman did not use Leprechaun's gold coins to dismiss himself, Sirius opened the purse and checked the gold coins. 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. Following Albert’s suggestion, he deliberately let Ludo Bagman see that he had hired a goblin to handle the gambling gold coins, and revealed that he was buying it in Diagon Alley. The willingness of renting a shop to open a shop.

"Arthur, Harry and Hermione will take care of you." Sirius stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Weasley after Bagman had greeted Arthur.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the children." Arthur promised.

"Does anyone want to place a bet on the game?" Bagman asked everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sirius has won a lot of Kanon from me. He even bet me that Ireland will win the game and score first, but Victor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch, and after the game, both sides The score will not exceed 30 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 lost. He earned thousands of gallons from me."

"Really?" Fred and George looked at Sirius together.

"Well, I have always bet on who will win. The odds are not high, but I did win some money." Sirius said honestly: "Ireland has a high probability of winning this year, and Bagman thinks so too."

"What are the odds?" George asked curiously.

"This number." Sirius said eight.

"We have 50 gallons, just like Sirius." After Fred and George looked at each other, they immediately took out a bag of gallons from their pockets. The bag of gallons contained Ron and Ginny's.

"Children, gambling is not a good habit." Arthur Weasley said in a low voice, "and this is almost all your savings."

"Arthur is right. Gambling is really not a good habit. If you want to make money, you can invest in the publication of the Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine I started." Sirius couldn't bear Fred and George falling out when he thought of Albert. Li, he said: "Don't worry about the newspapers losing money, Albert is very optimistic about the branch publication, and even invested a large sum of Gallons, accounting for nearly one-third of the share."

"Don't spoil Sirius," Bagman eagerly wrote the Weasley's list, then turned to ask, "Arthur, do you want to place a bet?"

"Well, then I'll take out a gallon... bet on Ireland to win." Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a gallon from his pocket.

In fact, the wizard is just in a hurry and does not want to gamble with his children. However, their tickets were obtained with Bagman's help, so they had to give the other side some face.

"Does anyone else want to gamble?" Bagman looked at Harry who seemed to be planning to pay for Garon.

"Um... If Sirius wants to open a magazine publication, I am willing to help with some money." Harry knew why Sirius started the magazine publication, so he used all the Kanon he originally planned to bet on to invest in Sirius' magazine. Publications, and Harry plans to publish a hundred gallons.

Since Albert is even optimistic about Sirius's magazines and publications, he should not lose money and go bankrupt.

"Don't listen to Blake's nonsense, that guy is not short of money at all. The Garon won from me is enough for him to run several magazines and publications." Bagman curled his lips, but he was satisfied with the results, and gave him a favor. After reading the invoice with George, Reid turned and left.

"Albert seems to be with his girlfriend to watch the football game." Fred asked Sirius, "Did you meet him?"

"Albert is in the camp next door. If you have time, you can help me to pass the parchment to him, so that Albert can take the time to see what needs to be revised." After that, Sirius gave a few parchments to him. Fred, the above is their preliminary design for the magazine.

"If the speed is fast enough, it may be possible to produce the first edition of the "Guide to Defense" magazine publication before the start of school."

"By the way Bagman," Sirius stopped Ludo Bagman, who was about to leave, and asked, "If I want to advertise in the Quidditch finals, is there still time?"

"This... should be added, but the advertising fee for the World Cup finals may not be cheap." Bagman frowned and asked, "hasn't your magazine publications been released yet, are you starting to advertise now?"

"The content of the magazine has probably been finalized. It doesn’t take too long, and it’s only the 22nd. There are still a few days before September. Even if you can’t get the machine in the end, you can go to Lovegood to borrow him. Machine.” Sirius said with a smile: “As long as I can help to make this happen, I’m willing to pay some consulting service fees.”

With that, Sirius took out ten Gallons from the bag and put them in Bagman's hand.

"Well, I'll help you ask, but I don't guarantee that it will be added." Bagman immediately agreed to help, this matter will not waste his time.

It seemed weird to Bagman, however, what he didn't know was that it was Albert's idea to advertise in the World Cup final.

In Albert’s view, the World Cup advertisement is very suitable for quickly gaining fame. After the game, the Dark Mark is undoubtedly the best publicity, a magazine and newspaper to teach everyone how to protect themselves. Panic in the magic world. The time comes out, and it will definitely attract everyone's attention. As long as the insecure residents make sure that the content of the magazine is valid, they will definitely be happy to order, and there will be no shortage of money at that time.

Although it would take a lot of Garon at first, Sirius was not worried, because the gold coins he got from Bagman were enough for them to spend a long time.

Moreover, Sirius didn't have a good way to gain fame quickly, so he chose to believe in Albert's judgments and plans. Anyway, Garon won in vain, and it really doesn't hurt to spend it.

What's more, Sirius knew that he had to put enough trust in Albert before the other party would help him make plans for magazines and publications.

"What's the matter with the newspapers?" Ginny looked at Sirius who had left with Bagman, wondering Ron.

"Sirius intends to open magazines and newspapers related to Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ron explained.

"It is said that Albert made the proposal." Harry added.

"Albert always complains that the defense against the dark arts in the British magical world is terrible, even foreign students know about it." Fred and George are not surprised, they all know that Albert has special interests, such as defense against the dark arts. field.

"Okay, kids, let's go to the camp and set up the tent." Mr. Weasley greeted everyone to leave with him: "Remus, I will take them there first."

"Well, goodbye Arthur, goodbye Harry, Hermione, and Ron." Lupin waved his wand and quickly put the tent into his backpack, and then stood here waiting for Sirius to get things done and come and meet. go home together.

"Goodbye, Professor Lupin." Harry left with Mr. Weasley.

"You just made a bet like that?"

Ron, who had been silent, suddenly asked Fred and George

Ron had to care about it.

No way, the Gallon that Fred and George bet on has part of him. If he loses, he will really become a pauper.

"The probability is very high. Albert also thinks that Ireland will win the championship." Fred and George both felt that Sirius's ability to win a large Gallon from Bagman had something to do with Albert, especially Sirius who made Albert. They confirmed this when they invested in magazines and newspapers. 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 the three of them to help set up the tent. It took nearly half an hour for before they finally got to Mr. Weasley. The tent was set up without help.

"We need some water, and we also need to pick up some wood for fuel." Mr. Weasley said to everyone, "The division of labor is done."

"Dad, we have to go to Albert, and we have a stove, so there is no need to use wood to make a fire." After the Weasley brothers dropped their backpacks, they slipped away with the parchment given by Sirius.

"When they see Albert's tent, they will be surprised." Ron muttered quietly. "That guy is weird everywhere, and there are strange house elves helping to prepare food."

"House elf?" Ginny asked in confusion. As far as she knew, Albert was a Muggle wizard.

"Albert must have hired him with money!" Hermione said without hesitation.

"Hermione, no one would spend money to hire house elves." Ron felt that Hermione didn't understand the situation at all.

"Perhaps Albert is an exception." Hermione said stubbornly. "He's very good to people."

"Maybe, that guy is a weird person." Ron didn't bother to discuss this with Hermione.

"If Mr. Anderson really hires a house elf, then you'd better remind him to be safe, so as not to trouble him with the Magical Creatures Management and Control Department of the Ministry of Magic."

"Mr. Weasley, can't the wizard hire house elves?" Hermione asked, frowning.

"This..." Mr. Weasley's expression was a bit embarrassed, as if he was afraid of others hearing it and lowered his voice: "There is almost no such precedent in the magic world, because no wizard is willing to waste Garon hiring them. Of course, as long as they are not known, Don’t get into big trouble, it’s actually not a big problem either."
