He Dian Bai Kai Shui
"Good afternoon, Ludo, you seem to be in a good mood." Mr. Weasley said with a smile.
"Of course, old man." Ludo Bagman laughed. "Look at how nice the weather is today. There will definitely be no clouds at night. This is perfect for the Quidditch game. The weather is up.”
"The whole preparation was so organized that I had nothing to do."
But the next moment he was slapped in the face. A group of haggard-looking Ministry of Magic officials hurried past him. Not far away, a purple flame shot up more than 20 feet high. Someone was playing with magic fire.
Ludo Bagman's expression did not change at all, as if this was a normal thing, he still smiled and talked to Mr. Weasley.
At this time, Percy returned to Mr. Weasley's side. The embarrassment he had felt when he was ignored by Ludo Bagman had disappeared. He had done a good job in psychological construction.
Even though Percy was telling Mr. Weasley the day before that Ludo Bagman was indifferent to the disappearance of his employees and didn't think much of him, Bagman was after all a director and a senior official of the Ministry of Magic. , as an official fan, how could Percy remain indifferent when meeting the other party on this occasion?
"Ah, by the way, this is Percy, my son, who now works in the Department of International Magical Cooperation." Mr. Weasley introduced Percy to Ludo with a smile.
"Ah, hello." Ludo's smile suddenly faded a lot, and he shook hands with Percy who took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Are they all your children over there? Arthur?"
"Ah, no." Mr. Weasley shook his head, "That's Fred --- no, it's a teaching position, I'm sorry, that's Fred --- Bill, who works as a Curse Breaker at Gringotts , Charlie, who works in Romania, Ron - my daughter Ginny, and here are Ron's friends, Harry Potter, Soule Bones and Hermione Granger."
"Bones?" Ludo blinked in surprise, "What's the relationship between Amelia and you?" This was asked to Sur.
"She is my aunt." Soul stood up and responded, "Hello, Mr. Bagman."
Ludo Bagman's smile became obviously much more earnest. He stepped forward and shook Suer's hand. "Ah, I remembered that the youngest recipient of the Merlin Order of Merlin, third degree, is really young and promising, isn't he?"
Obviously, the only reason why Ludo Bagman is so enthusiastic is that Amelia Bones is a powerful person in the second largest department of the Ministry of Magic, and has a higher status than him, the director who only has a few kittens under his command. too much.
"You're flattered." Suer responded politely with a smile that was neither distant nor intimate.
"Then, this must be the famous savior--Mr. Potter?" Ludo Bagman subconsciously glanced at Harry's forehead.
"Hello." Harry touched his hair unnaturally.
Ludo Bagman only said hello to Soul and Harry. To the others, he just nodded slightly to show his passing. He would probably forget them all in five minutes.
After chatting with Mr. Weasley for a few more words, he fiddled with the jingling robe pockets, which seemed to contain a lot of gold coins.
Ludo Bagman looked at Weasley with a smile and said, "Want to place a bet on the game? Arthur?"
There was a hint of hesitation on Mr. Weasley's face, and Ludo Bagman spoke again, his eyes eager.
Roddy Punnett and Agatha Timms were also involved, Roddy bet on Bulgaria to score the first goal and Agatha thought the game would last a week and she bet half of her Eel Grange The shares were pledged.”
As an event organizer, it is obviously a very serious illegal incident to openly set the odds, but in the 'magical' magical world, anything is possible.
Sur suddenly remembered something while on the sidelines. He remembered... Ludo Bagman set up a trap, but had no money to repay it after the game. What happened in the end...
It seems like Fred and George also made a bet and lost everything?
Su Er glanced at the two brothers who were whispering excitedly to each other calmly. As good friends, he had to prevent them from losing money.
At this time, Mr. Weasley said hesitantly, "Then I'll pay a Galleons and Ireland will win. Is that okay?"
"Of course!" Ludo Bagman's expression was a little disappointed, but it only flashed past. It was obvious that he was well aware of the situation of the Weasley family, and it would be nice to have a galleon.
Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.
He quickly took out a quill and parchment from his pocket, scrawled a line of words, and said as he wrote,
"Well, Arthur Weasley, one galleons, Ireland wins, right, the odds are not high, the quality of Ireland's players this year is very high."
Only one galleung could not satisfy Ludo Bagman's appetite. In line with the principle that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. He turned his eyes to Sur and the others aside, "How about it, gentlemen and ladies, you want to have some fun." ?"
Ginny and Hermione shook their heads flatly.
Fred and George had obviously already discussed it. As soon as Fred put his hand into his pocket and was about to speak, Soul immediately pulled his sleeve and, with his doubtful eyes, he leaned close to his ear.
"I suggest that you'd better not put money in the hands of Ludo Bagman. As far as I know, this gentleman... um..." Su Er hesitated, but the meaning was obvious.
Fred's face changed as he was reaching for the money. When they were discussing it just now, they had no idea what the consequences would be if Ludo took the money and ran away.
Although they had some doubts about Su Er's inexplicable reminder and trusted Su Er, they still couldn't bear to give up such a good opportunity to make money. Fred moved his hands outward, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"We bet a galleon, Mr. Bagman, that Ireland will win, but that Victor Krum will catch the Snitch."
It was another small bet, but Bagman’s expression remained unchanged as he confirmed the contents of Fred’s bet, “Oh, this probability is too low, lower than Bulgaria’s first goal. Are you sure? Do you want to bet like this?"
"Sure." Fred dug into his pocket again and took out a stick, "Oh, by the way, we want to add this fake wand."
"You wouldn't want to give those crap to Mr. Bagman, would you? If Mum knew you were out there -" Percy whispered.
"Fake wand? What is it?" Ludo Bagman blinked blankly, but the next moment, the fake wand let out a croaking cry and turned into a rubber chicken with a 'bang'.
Ludo Bagman was startled, then giggled like a child.
"Interesting," he said. "What a great prank! I can price it at four galleons, so how about you bet five galleons in total?"
Percy was confused for a moment and stood there stupidly.
"This is not good, Ludo..." Mr. Weasley lowered his voice, "Molly wouldn't want them..."
"Oh, Arthur, don't be so old-fashioned. They are old enough to know what they want." Ludo Bagman smiled and patted Mr. Weasley on the shoulder.
"It's just for entertainment. Wouldn't it be better to have a little excitement in such a grand event?"
Ludo Bagman wrote another note and looked at Fred and George, "Well, I can give you very high odds. After all, the probability of this prediction coming true is too low!"
"Fred and George Weasley, bet one galleons plus a fake wand, the fake wand will cost four galleons, five in total."
Fred took the half of the parchment torn off by Ludo Bagman, confirmed the content and signature, and then carefully folded it and stuffed it into his pocket.
After completing the work of collecting the bets, Ludo Bagman stuffed the parchment and quill into his pocket. With an unexpected gain, he looked at Mr. Weasley with joy, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Oh, such a silly God of Wealth hopes that there will be a lot of gold later, so I can have a lot of gold galleons, ha~
This is just what he thinks in his heart, and of course he won't offend anyone by saying it.
"Can you do me a favor, Arthur? I've been looking for Barty Crouch. The officials at the same level as me in Bulgaria are giving us advice and making things difficult for us, but we can't understand even a word of him. According to reports, As far as I know, Buddy knows 150 languages..."
Barty Crouch is here too?Su Er blinked and understood. Even if his power was taken away, he still had to work. After all, he had to resign and just make a living...
"Barty Crouch?" Mr. Weasley blinked blankly, "I've never seen him..."
"I just saw him over there in the woods, Mr. Bagman!" Percy found his opportunity to shine, stepped forward and said earnestly, "I'll take you there."
"Oh, that's great. Excuse me, Percy, are you okay with me calling you this?" Ludo Bagman clapped his hands and sounded delighted.
"It's a pleasure, sir." Percy said with a warm smile on his face, "You can tell me to do whatever you want."
"Of course, old man." Ludo Bagman laughed. "Look at how nice the weather is today. There will definitely be no clouds at night. This is perfect for the Quidditch game. The weather is up.”
"The whole preparation was so organized that I had nothing to do."

He quickly took out a quill and parchment from his pocket, scrawled a line of words, and said as he wrote,
"Well, Arthur Weasley, one galleons, Ireland wins, right, the odds are not high, the quality of Ireland's players this year is very high."
