The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

The news that Rita Skeeter was an illegal Animagus really surprised the others.

"What about her?"

"In the hands of one of our ghost friends," Hermione said, "she has no chance of escaping early."

Fred asked: "Let's not mention the violation of the law. I guess no one here cares. I just want to ask in advance - Rita Skeeter and Ludo Bagman are... what?

Does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter," DeWitt said without hesitation, "but her ability to write articles can come in handy."

George looked at the number of students around him uneasily, and said hurriedly: "Shall we talk somewhere else?"

Harry and Ron also followed out of their own strong will. They found an abandoned classroom, sat around a table, and listened to DeWitt's thoughts:

"Rita Skeeter has the handle in our hands. If you want to take revenge on Ludo Bagman, it's actually very simple. You only need Rita Skeeter to write an article about what Ludo Bagman owes."

The news that gamblers are spending large sums of gold Galleons will destroy his personal credibility and reputation. His work and family will be affected, and his future and life will be destroyed. The problem is that in this way, your money will probably be completely destroyed.

There is no hope."

Fred and George looked at each other and said firmly: "It seems you have the best of both worlds?"

"Yes, but it comes with risks and requires tough measures," DeWitt said: "We must ensure that there are no mistakes in the plan."

The rest of the people pricked up their ears. Although they didn't urge them, they listened attentively.

"The current overall general process is this. We will still threaten Ludo Bagman with the article written by Rita Skeeter. The difference is that we will not actually send the article out, and then we have to find a way to make it

Ludo Bagman reorganized a bet - I think he had already done it... and we manipulated the odds..."

Fred and George said excitedly: "We are contestants!"

"We are still the bookmaker," DeWitt said: "Currently, the candidate with the lowest odds is Krum, and we have to control Ludo Bagman to adjust Krum's odds of winning directly to the highest.

Attracting most gamblers to participate..."

"I know what you are thinking, but these are all assumptions," Hermione said, "and everyone knows that Ludo Bagman owes a large sum of money. It is purely because he can still securely serve in the Ministry of Magic.

Because the general public knows nothing about this matter, and those who know will not take the risk of offending others to expose him. However, most of those who know are rich. Without these rich people as the main force, there will be people who can safely participate.

?"

"And this is the key. He has the ability to set up a gambling game, mainly because of his status as an official of the Ministry of Magic," the twins said: "His identity is very convincing, and his past reputation is very good, but the result of this World Cup is too

Bizarre - of course it is useless for me to say this. In short, we have also investigated the betting on the Triwizard Tournament, and the popularity in the country is only slightly reduced compared to the World Cup."

"What happens after that? It's nothing more than minimizing our odds of winning the championship, and finding a dark horse in the end - I don't even want to criticize how strange and suspicious such a probability looks to the discerning eye, and I don't want to criticize it either.

I don’t want to comment on the mathematical level of wizards or lead to the reform of the educational system in the wizarding world. I will just say one thing - how do we control Rita Skeeter and Ludo Bagman? Once they don’t want to cooperate...

"Hermione saw DeWitt raised his palm and slashed it down. She said angrily: "Really? My dear DeWitt used his smart little head to come up with a foolproof method again. Let me guess you.

What does the gesture mean - is it hands-on?"

DeWitt said calmly: "Power is the reason for being king."

"You are off topic. Although it is indeed risky," the twins said thoughtfully, "but it is very interesting. We have decided to follow the second method!"

Harry and Ron did not dare to express their opinions. They looked at Hermione and then at the twins, not knowing which side to stand on.

Hermione immediately stared at DeWitt, gesturing for him to express his stance.

"But you need to consider the specific steps yourself, such as how much specific data should be used to adjust the odds to maximize the benefits without arousing suspicion, and to cope with the inability to interact with Rita Skeeter and Ludo...

Bagman talks about it, or how to avoid their betrayal midway... At this point, all I can do is provide you with an idea and a vivid Rita Skeeter," DeWitt said.

Hermione spread her hands and said, "Is this okay?"

Fred and George hesitated to speak. They implored Hermione with pitiful eyes: "Help us."

"Alas..." Hermione still couldn't bear to sit idly by completely. She compromised a little and said: "The most I can do is help you with calculating the odds, and you have to agree - except for Rita Skeeter and Ludo Ba

Apart from these two people, Gehrman, no innocent person can be affected."

"But there are always winners and losers in gambling," George argued: "We can't..."

Hermione interrupted him and said: "I didn't talk about those gamblers. Gamblers willingly bet their own money. Even if they lose all their money, they deserve it. As long as they don't deceive them, I'm not pedantic to that extent."

Fred patted his chest: "Then George and I can use it with confidence!"

George rubbed his fingers and said vaguely: "So, the necessary beetle..."

DeWitt and Hermione went to find Alice in the afternoon. This ghost girl was wandering in the Forbidden Forest. She told DeWitt and Hermione that Rita Skeeter had been punished and that she had been with the Queen of Hearts in her castle.

The executioner played catch-up all day and night. When DeWitt said that Rita Skeeter had another use, Alice simply returned the favor. She proposed that she wanted to be one of the Wesley twins in the bet.

"Witness".

Therefore, apart from Fred and George themselves, Alice was probably the only one who knew what the twins did to Rita Skeeter and what they did to Ludo Bagman. Others could only notice Ludo Bagman.

Germann's spirit was extremely trance-like in the next few days, and his face was very bad. Fortunately, after a few days, he was radiant again. And the "Daily Prophet" resumed publishing Rita Skeeter's new article, but

Compared with the past, the content of the press release lacked a bit of drama and interest. There was only a lot of praise for Durmstrang's warrior Viktor Krum - there was nothing in her manuscript related to gambling.

The direct content, but she interviewed a large number of Hogwarts students and used the students' words as strong evidence. It can be seen that if possible, Rita Skeeter would not hesitate to let Dumbledore also

Make a similar statement to prove Krum's potential.

In any case, more and more people are betting on Krum to win, and some people have even used connections to get the judging method for the second game, betting a large sum of gold galleons on the final ranking of the Triwizard Tournament.<

This time we will make a fortune, Rita Skeeter and the Wess twins all think so.
