Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"What are you talking about?"

At some point, Ginny's voice sounded from behind them. Louis moved to the left and the red-haired girl sat down on the ground.

"Ginny, where did you go just now?" Hermione sitting next to her asked.

Ginny Weasley went to collect firewood with Fred and George, but did not appear to return with them.

"I met Luna and chatted with her for a while." Ginny shook her hair, "Their tent is weird, but it's fun, and of course there's her father, Severius."

"Luna? She's here too?"

"They arrived a few weeks ago." Ginny glanced at Ron, "The Lovegoods are right next to our house. Mr. Diggory was telling Dad about them before, Ron."

It's normal for Luna to come to watch the game. As the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, her father will naturally be interested in major events happening in the magical world.

It was already half an hour later when Bill, Charlie and Percy arrived, having just finished cooking the eggs and sausages.

"I just apparated here, dad." Percy's eyes flashed with excitement, "Ah, great, lunch."

Several people sat together and ate around the campfire. Diggory and his son also arrived shortly afterwards. When they saw Cedric, Fred and George's expressions were not good-looking.

Although the conditions are relatively simple, the atmosphere for several people to eat together is quite enjoyable.

Just halfway through eating, Arthur suddenly looked up. As if he had spotted someone, he waved and smiled at him.

"Ah, the most important person at present, Ludo!"

Louis followed his gaze, and he saw a man wearing Quidditch robes with yellow and black horizontal stripes on it, and a huge wasp pattern on his chest. It could be seen that he must have been a man with a strong physique.

A strong man, but now his figure is starting to decline.

His appearance is definitely the most eye-catching among the wizards, not even old Archie can match him.

"Aha!" Ludo Bagman looked very excited.

"Arthur, my old man." He walked quickly to the camp, "What a beautiful weather, what a beautiful day, I can't find such a cloudless weather again, the whole work is in order, completely

No problem, I have nothing to do."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of wizards hurriedly ran past him, as if someone was playing with magic fire. Purple flames filled the entire tent, about twenty feet high.

Percy stood up. Everyone was worried about what Mr. Bagman said, but this did not change the good impression he left on everyone.

"Ah, Ludo, this is my son Percy, who also works at the Ministry of Magic." Arthur introduced with a smile, "These are some of my children, as well as Hermione, Louis and Harry Potter, and

There's a Diggory family you know."

"Hello, Ludo." Amos Diggory nodded to him. To be honest, he was not that familiar with Ludo Bagman.

But Bagman didn't pay attention to Mr. Diggory. He kept staring at Harry, as if he wanted to see the lightning scar on his forehead.

"Kids, this is what I always say." Arthur continued, "Mr. Ludo Bagman, we have to thank him very much for helping us get the tickets."

"Mr Bagman was not only an outstanding member of the Ministry of Magic but also a former leading batsman for Wimbourne Wasps."

Ludo Bagman waved his hand, indicating that Arthur did not need to praise him so much.

But Louis had some doubts about Bagman's character. It was understandable that Arthur had done him such a big favor by praising him. However, this guy had a criminal record. According to his understanding, Bagman had asked Voldemort's subordinate Luke Wood

He revealed confidential information, and although he tried his best to plead guilty and was acquitted in the subsequent trial, his character was highly questionable.

"By the way, are you willing to place a bet on the game?" Bagman said with a smile, finally stating his purpose, "Just now Roddy Pontene made a bet to me that Bulgaria would score the first goal and I gave it to him.

The odds were set very high because I knew the top three in Ireland were very talented, and little Agatha Timme bet half of his fortune on it, and he said the game would last a week.”

He patted the money bag filled with naan and wondered how many people had participated in his bet.

"That's not to mention Ludo, let's see, Ireland will win." Arthur patted his shoulder, "How about one galleung?"

"One galleons? Okay." Ludo Bagman was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't expect Arthur to take out much money. "Is there anyone else who wants to bet? Digory, what about you?"

"I don't have to, I'm not in the mood, Ludo." Amos Diggory waved his hand and continued to deal with his food.

Bagman turned his attention to the children, and Arthur immediately came over to stop him:

"They're too young, Ludo, to take part in gambling, and Molly won't be happy..."

"We offer thirty Galleons, fifteen silver Sickles and three copper Knuts." Before Arthur could finish speaking, Fred raised his hand and said.

Although Louis gave them 10,000 gold galleons, it was used as the start-up capital of the store. Naturally, they could not touch the money without Louis's consent, so they had to use the money they had saved to spend it.

"Ireland will win, but Krum will get the Snitch."

"Children, I don't want you to gamble." Mr. Weasley lowered his voice and said, but he had no organization for action. "Your mother will be unhappy. This is all your savings..."

"Don't be a spoiler, Arthur." Mr. Bagman was extremely happy. "The children have their own ideas, which is good. Well, Ireland will win, but it will be Krum who gets the Golden Snitch? Not a bad idea. Don't worry.

, I will give you higher odds."

Ludo Bagman took out a piece of paper and wrote the names of the twin brothers. Louis wanted to stop him but it was too late. The twin brothers acted too fast. Although their ideas could be said to be impeccable, they even suspected that they were

It’s not that I got the script, but the dealer happened to be Ludo Bagman.

Once you get the money from this old guy, don't even think about getting it back, but naturally Louis can't watch the two of them being deceived. After all, he is also his future partner.

Of course, blind gambling is not advisable. This is a matter of chance and luck. No one can guarantee that he will win 100%.

"Mr. Bagman, can I join?" Louis interrupted. Mr. Weasley and Diggory looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect that Louis would think about gambling at his age.

"Of course, my boy." Mr. Bagman smiled happily. No one can have trouble with money.

"What are you betting on?"

"Is the score okay? I guess Bulgaria is 160 to 170 better than Ireland, which is a hundred gold galleons." Louis said calmly, but this number almost made Arthur jump.

"A hundred gold galleons?! Are you crazy, Louis?"

But Louis waved his hand calmly, and even Mr. Bagman was surprised. This kid of twelve or thirteen years old was actually so rich? He just had a hundred gold galleons.

"The young man is very courageous, I like it." Bagman suddenly burst into laughter, "It can be said that you are my biggest investment so far. Very good, very good. Tell me your name, kid."

"Louis Wiggins, sir."

Bagman wrote Louis' name on the parchment and gave it to him, but Louis didn't answer it. He glanced at the parchment and stared at it for a while before saying:

"I have a request, Mr. Bagman, can you write your name on this piece of parchment of mine and indicate something."

"I, Ludo Bagman, will strictly abide by my bet and will never evade it."
