Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Oh... my... my God..." Ludo Bagman wailed in pain, "Yes, yes... I have to pay you a lot... um... Fred's... George's ...Oh, my God! And, and..."

"Oh, my God! No...and Tiera's..." Ludo Bagman clutched his heart and wailed in despair, "I...I...I'm going bankrupt!"

"Tiera?" George asked in surprise, and even Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked over.

"When did Tiera place a bet with you?" Fred asked in surprise.

"Well... let me see... probably... probably around..." Ludo Bagman flipped through his notebook, "Well... probably around... just... not long after you placed your bets. after."

"Isn't this impossible?" Ron said, "Tiera was with us at that time. How could one person...wait a minute at the same time?"

Ron stopped mid-sentence, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other at the same time, both of them seemed to understand what was going on at the same time.

At the same time, Tiera also had a look of understanding.

"You actually... um..." Hermione said angrily, but was quickly grabbed by Harry.

"Oh, I remembered it." Harry said in a pretentious manner, "It turns out that when Tiera disappeared suddenly, she went...to bet."

Meanwhile Harry winked at Hermione.

"Um...yes, yes." Hermione said, "He seemed to have disappeared suddenly for a while."

"How about this, Mr. Bagman." Tiera smiled innocently, and then said, "Actually, everyone does not gamble for money... Since this money troubles you so much... then you can use the principal to Just give it back to me."

"Oh my god, is it true? Really?" Ludo Bagman breathed a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "You... you are so, so kind... …Great, I, Ludo Bagman, am your friend!"

"Please don't say that, Mr. Bagman." Tiera smiled innocently again, "I want you to know that I got this money from my adoptive father, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart. But I promised to return them intact..."

"Do you know Gilderoy Lockhart?" Tiera asked innocently, "He is the best-selling author who is very familiar with Minister Fudge. He is my adoptive father."

"I know... I know..." Ludo Bagman picked up the handkerchief again and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My adoptive father is a very serious person." Tiera said aggrievedly, "If I can't get the money...my adoptive father will file a complaint to Minister Fudge."

"I'll be in dire straits then..." Tiera said pretending to be scared, and then added: "Uh-huh-huh."

"Yes... yes... yes, I, I know, I know... I will send your money intact in a while..." Ludo Bagman took out his handkerchief again. Zi wiped his forehead and said.

After the game, everyone left the stadium quickly, and even the top-floor boxes were quickly emptied——

"Don't tell your mothers about your gambling," Mr. Weasley implored Fred and George as they slowly descended the burgundy-carpeted stairs.

"Don't worry, Dad." Fred said happily, "We have big plans for this money, and we don't want it to be confiscated."

Mr. Weasley hesitated, presumably to ask what their grand plans were, but then thought better of it and seemed to decide not to ask.

"Are you going to use these gold coins as gambling capital?" On the way back to the camp, Hermione deliberately held Tiera's arm and asked in a low voice, "You are going to use the time turner to go back in time and use these leprechaun gold coins Give it to Mr. Bagman as gambling capital."

"So smart." Tiera praised sincerely, "It's completely consistent. How did you guess it?"

"The main reason is that the 'two you's appearing at the same time' thing was revealed just now, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark." Hermione raised her head proudly and said, "And the book clearly said that the little leprechaun Although it can produce gold and gold coins, these gold coins and gold do not last long. They will disappear in a few hours or at most half a day. If you have been reading "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" since the first grade, you cannot not know this. , but you are still working so hard to collect these fake gold coins, even breaking the law and using magic in front of the Minister of Magic and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, so I think you must have a way to turn these fake gold coins into cash..."

"Yes." Tiera smiled, patted Hermione's arm, then silently broke away from Hermione's arm, stepped back, turned around, and then quickly disappeared into the tide. in the crowd.

"Hey, Tiera! Where are you going?" Harry, who had been eavesdropping, asked eagerly.

"You heard what Hermione just said." At this time, Tiera's voice suddenly came from the crowd on the other side of Harry, and then Tiera appeared in the field of vision of Harry and Hermione.

"Let's go." Tiera said happily, seemingly in a good mood. She held Harry in one arm and Hermione in the other, and walked with them along the crowds and the lantern-lit passage. Walk back, "It's time to celebrate the Irish win... and my big bucks."

"Are you so sure that Mr. Bagman will give you that money?" Hermione asked, "How many dwarf gold coins did you get? Seven thousand? Eight thousand? Or nine thousand? You have to know, facing such a situation Anyone can default on a large sum of money."

"Only fifteen hundred gold galleons," Tiera said. "I did not bet all the leprechaun gold coins. I evaluated his property before placing the bet."

——Tiera’s so-called assessment refers to using “snooping” magic and Legilimency to determine what the limit Ludo Bagman can endure.

"I just specifically mentioned Tigedro Lockhart," Tiera said, "and the relationship between Tigedro Lockhart and Minister of Magic Fudge."

"Although Ludo Bagman is not willing to give up the fifteen hundred gold galleons, he is even more reluctant to give up the position of Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports." Tiera said with a smile, "This is a fat position, the Department of Magical Sports and Sports The position of director can bring him more than just a few fifteen hundred gold galleons every year. He doesn't dare to risk losing this lucrative position by giving up my fifteen hundred gold galleons."

"That means he will definitely give you fifteen hundred gold galleons?" Harry seemed to understand.

"Yes..." Tiera said with a smile, "But there is still one last step left."

"What?" Hermione asked.

"This." Tiera let go of Hermione's hand, and then lifted the suitcase she was holding.

"I collected all the gold coins of the leprechauns," Tiera said, "so that Mr. Ludo would not be able to deceive me with the same gold coins of the leprechauns."
