The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"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, "It's the World Cup final, you just left? Harry didn't know there would be What a disappointment, it's been a rare opportunity for England to miss the trophy for 30 years."

"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. The Weasley family will come to watch the Quidditch World Cup final today. I've asked Arthur to help look after those kids."

Bagman was still a little unwilling to let Sirius leave like this. The guy in front of him had won a lot of Galleons from him, and he had never lost once.

hateful!

"Look, Arthur's here," said Sirius, pointing up somewhere.

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

"Okay, then do you want to continue betting? Ireland has a high probability of winning this year." Seeing that the way of changing the subject was useless, Bagman changed his method: "Little Agatha Timms thinks the final It's going to be a week, and she's putting up half of the stock in Eel Farm."

"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 and it's hard to imagine him not catching the Snitch in a week." Sirius talked to Bagman eloquently, 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, the gap between the players is clear and so far, Bulgaria has been relying on Krum to catch the Snitch to win, and once the score is over 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 and Victor Krum will catch the 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 Bagman very confidently, "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 heard.

"It's because the probability of losing the bet is very high, so I don't dare to press it all." Sirius glared at Bagman and told the other party to stop. "Okay, you should settle the money from yesterday."

Bagman reluctantly paid for the remaining money, then opened a parchment note to Sirius, and turned around to greet Arthur who was coming this way, not seeing Sirius Wei Wei at all. The corners of the mouth twitched.

Of course, they expected that Bagman might be reluctant to repay 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 that 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.

He also revealed his willingness to buy and rent a shop in Diagon Alley.

"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.

Everyone 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 after the game, both sides The score will not exceed 30." 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 took thousands of Galleons from me."

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

"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're out 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 a portion of Ron and Ginny.

"It's not a good habit to gamble with money, boys," Arthur Weasley said in a low voice, "and it's almost all of 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 George to fall into the pit He said, "Don't worry that the newspapers will lose money. Albert is very optimistic about running a branch, and even invested a large sum of Galleons, accounting for nearly one-third of the share."

"Don't spoil Sirius," Bagman said eagerly to the Weasleys, then turned his head and asked, "Arthur, do you want to 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 planning to take Galleon.

"That...if Sirius wants to start a magazine, I'm willing to help out with some money." Harry knew the reason for Sirius to start a magazine, so he put all the Garen that he planned to bet on to invest in Sirius. magazine publications, and Harry was going to make a hundred Galleons.

Since Albert is optimistic about Sirius' magazines, 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 Galleons he won from me are enough for him to run several magazines." Bagman pouted, but he was still satisfied with the current results. After Reid and George finished their invoices, they turned and left.

"Albert seems to be here with his girlfriend to watch the game." Fred asked Sirius, "Have you met him?"

"Albert is in the camp next door. If you have time, you can help me bring the parchment to him, and let Albert take the time to see what needs to be revised." With that, Sirius handed a few pieces of parchment to him. Fred, above is 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 in the Quidditch final, is it too late?"

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

"The content of the magazine has 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 Lovegood to borrow him. The machine." Sirius smiled and said, "As long as I can help make this happen, I'm willing to pay a little consulting service 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 added." Bagman immediately agreed to help, and it wouldn't waste much of his time.

It seemed odd to Bagman, but what he didn't know was that it was Abbott's idea to advertise the World Cup final.

In Albert's opinion, the World Cup advertising is very suitable for this 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. Panic in the wizarding world When the period came out, 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.

Although it would cost a lot of Galleons at first, Sirius wasn't worried because 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 in Albert's judgment and plan.

What's more, Sirius knew that he had to trust Albert enough so that the other party would help him plan the publication of the magazine.

"What's going on 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 that Albert gave the proposal." 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 special interests, such as defense against the dark arts. field.

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

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

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

"Did you just bet like that?"

Ron, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked Fred and George.

Ron had to worry about it.

No way, Fred and George had a part of those Galleons betting on him, and if he lost, he would really become a pauper.

"The possibility is very high, and Albert also thinks Ireland will win the championship." Fred and George both think that Sirius can win a large sum of Galleons from Bagman. It is related to Albert, especially Sirius let Albert When they 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 set up the tent with Mr. Weasley's help. stand up.

"We need some water, and we need to pick up some firewood for fuel," Mr. Weasley told everyone. "Let's do the division."

"Dad, we have to find Albert, and we have a stove, so there's no need to use firewood to make a fire." After the Weasley brothers dropped their backpacks, they ran away with the parchment given by Sirius.

"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 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 to hire 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 Galleon hiring them. Of course, as long as no one knows about it. , don't cause big trouble, it's not really a big problem,"
