Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

"Aha! Gilderoy, my friend!" Bagman looked very happy to see Lockhart, and it seemed that the two had a good relationship.

Lockhart turned around and shook hands with him, looking very familiar. It seemed that he had been quite successful in the Ministry of Magic during this period.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. Those Bulgarians are still waiting in the top box." Crouch glanced at Lockhart with a sullen face and said goodbye to everyone.

It can be seen that he is not as close to Lockhart as others. After all, the ruin of his political career is inseparable from the man in front of him.

"Oh, bye, Buddy!" Bagman waved to him, "It's still a while before the game starts. I think I can drink two more cups of tea."

Hearing what he said, Percy immediately helped him fill the tea cup "sensible".

Everyone also said goodbye to Crouch, but Lockhart nodded slightly to him and said nothing.

When Crouch disappeared, Bagman spoke again: "I forgot to tell you that Gilderoy is also a big client of mine. He is a loyal fan of Krum and spent a full 1,000 Galleons on the Bulgarian team.

"

This amount of money is not much, but it is not too little either. You must know that the prize money for the Triwizard Tournament is only this amount.

Of course, for Lockhart, this is not a huge amount of money.

Since he "caught" Wormtail and entered the Ministry of Magic, his popularity has grown even higher, and he has become the most shining traffic star in the entire British magical society.

Coupled with the fact that there are no such piracy websites and booksellers here, his already best-selling books have once again reached a new level, and there are even signs that demand exceeds supply.

Therefore, he quickly made a lot of money, and naturally he didn't care about "small money" like 1,000 galleons.

"This year is really a wonderful year, isn't it?" Bagman took a sip of tea, stretched and said with a smile.

"Of course!" Lockhart said proudly, "I got the news from the minister. All the procedures have been completed and we are just waiting for the final announcement."

Bagman nodded happily, looked at Mr. Weasley and said: "This is really exciting, Arthur! With your character, I guess you haven't told these children yet that this year's Hogwarts

How lively will it be?"

In fact, except for Qiu who was still confused, everyone else had already heard about the Triwizard Tournament from Glenn yesterday.

"I don't agree with your guess, Ludo." Lockhart smiled and shook his head, "How could such an important matter be hidden from the Ollivander family?"

Bagman was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Glenn, and then he suddenly realized.

"If I'm not wrong," Lockhart looked at Glenn, "for such an important event, Glenn, you must be ready to participate, right?"

Glenn gave him a meaningful look, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have no intention of participating."

As a qualified time traveler who is familiar with the plot, he has long known the outcome of this game - the one who finally wins the Triwizard Tournament trophy is destined to be Harry himself - once others get involved, they will inevitably end up

The same fate as Cedric in the book.

In other words, even if he chooses to participate, he must give up winning the championship and just study with the prince.

There is obviously no point in participating in such a competition.

Everyone looked puzzled, and Glenn didn't explain much.

During the conversation, Qiu also roughly guessed that they were discussing an important competition, but she was not as confused as others about why Glenn was unwilling to participate.

In her opinion, since it was Glenn's own choice, he had his own reasons. There was no difference between asking and not asking.

Lockhart and Bagman, who knew how to be lazy, stayed and chatted for a while, and did not leave until near dusk.

At this time, the entire camp became more and more lively, people began to be unable to restrain their urge to use magic, and fewer and fewer Ministry of Magic employees rushed to stop them.

When night fell, the last trace of disguise disappeared - all kinds of flames and magic fireworks spiraled into the sky, and the entire camp turned into a magical banquet.

The Ministry of Magic has completely calmed down, no longer trying to fight against the wizards, and has begun to allow obvious signs of the use of magic to appear everywhere.

Those thieves who usually gathered in Carmichael's second-hand store to brag and chat went out in groups, weaving in and out of the crowded crowd, chasing the golden opportunity to get rich overnight.

The vendors also received their long-awaited opportunity to make money. They appeared in the camp in groups, either carrying trays or pushing carts, selling weird gadgets along the road.

"Does this look good?"

Qiu's face was filled with a girl's bright smile, she picked up a green rose-shaped badge from a vendor's cart, pinned it on her lapel and asked.

Green is the support color of Ireland, and the badge is decorated with clovers dancing in the wind, screaming the names of the Irish team members.

Glenn looked at it carefully and nodded seriously.

"It looks good, and the color matches your outfit today."

Qiu Wei was a little surprised - this wooden guy who had always been incomprehensible about amorous feelings was suddenly so good at talking today - he actually learned to find suitable reasons to praise himself, instead of using a dry "good-looking" to deal with it.

"How much?" Glenn looked at the familiar vendor and asked.

"Two things -" the vendor suddenly changed his words mid-sentence, "It turns out to be young Master Ollivander! I will give you this badge for free, no money required!"

"How can that be done?" Glenn frowned.

The small merchant was very polite and immediately said: "Thanks to you, we small merchants can do business safely in Diagon Alley. This badge is not a valuable thing, so don't refuse."

What he said was true. Carmichael's second-hand store provided them with a lot of conveniences, and the gathering space in the backyard was specially prepared for these people.

The two exchanged some polite words, and at Glenn's insistence, the vendor reluctantly accepted the two Sicos from him, and quickly took out an extra identical badge and stuffed it into Glenn's hand.

Not only Qiu, but also Harry and the three of them were like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, looking around and exclaiming once or twice.

"I saved my pocket money all summer just for this." Ron said to several people while selecting carefully.

He bought a lot of souvenirs, including a miniature statue of Klum, and almost spent all his savings. This was even after the vendors gave Glenn face and almost only charged the cost price.
