Chapter 164 The Twins' Dilemma
"I did as you said." Avoiding the crowd, Ron came to a dark corner of the castle.Spreading his hands, the five golden coins shone amiably.
"Great job Ron, we're proud of you!" said a voice excitedly.
With a bad premonition, Ron couldn't help but frowned: "You promised that you will do things after you receive the money."
"Yes, yes, the most important thing for a businessman is credibility," Fred Weasley stepped out of the shadows, and took four gold Galleons from Ron, "According to what was said before, then One Galleon is your agency fee."
George Weasley was also exposed to the sun, and he touched Ron's head: "Tell little Harry, rest assured, there is nothing our brothers can't do at Hogwarts thing."
"I hope so," Ron whispered, and then he looked at the twins strangely, "Why are you so eager to make money lately? It's all on Harry's head."
Not only that, but he was specially hired as an intermediary.You must know that the twins never bring other people in their usual profitable business, even his younger brother is no exception.
"What?" Fred looked up at the sky, "Of course it's saving money for our dream of opening a store."
George also agreed with a smile: "Yes, you know, we have always wanted to open a store of our own."
Sounds reasonable, but Ron always feels weird.
He remembered that the twin sets had been sold in the school's Hall store very early on. Although the salary there was not as good as that in Diagon Alley, it was not a small income for the students, especially the Weasley family.Coupled with the fact that the twins have been selling all kinds of weird gadgets to students since first grade, they should have saved a lot of money over the years.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Ron, who had always been played around by the twins, was very clever. "I seem to have heard you say last year that the money to open the store is almost saved."
If it wasn't for the mother's permission, the twins would have dropped out of school as early as last year.Since I saved almost enough last year, why is it not enough this year?
"Are you stupid?" George said contemptuously. "Anyway, we can't drop out of school now. Why don't we use this time to make more money and open a bigger store?"
"Yeah, yeah," Fred patted Ron on the back hard, causing him to stagger, "Our silly brother, I don't know what it means to cherish time, and I don't know what it means to be bigger and stronger!"
Being blocked by the twins, Ron gritted his teeth and emphasized: "You guys better not do anything bad, or I'll be in bad luck too!"
For some reason, Mrs. Weasley seemed to decide that Ron and the twins had failed at school and were doing nothing at school every day.In order to prevent the worst scenario she imagined from happening, she forced the twins and Ron to supervise each other. If one party did something that seriously violated the school rules, both parties would have to accept the "May Three (extended holiday plus extended holiday)" for the entire holiday. Quantity Edition) "Torture.
"We want you to take care of yourself," Fred said, looking at George. "There are still five days left for the holiday. You and little Harry had better be honest, and don't go on night tours or adventures."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fred sighed in his heart.Who would have thought that the famous Weasley twins at Hogwarts would persuade others to abide by the school rules and not go out at night?
Just a little longer, he thought through gritted teeth.Once they want the money back, they immediately drop out of school and open a shop!
"Harry is so tormented by the anonymous boy who is said to like him, how can he have time for night tours and adventures?" Ron said and ran away in a hurry.He's not like staying with the twins, who knows if he will be stuck to the wall by their prank product next second?
"Ron has become smarter!" George said in a drawn out tone as he watched his little brother leave.You could tell from his tone that he wasn't happy about it.
Fred nodded sympathetically: "Yes, it seems that we can no longer lie to him without thinking."
"So is there any news about him?" Skipping over Ron's topic, George asked through gritted teeth thinking of the Jin Gallon who should belong to them.
"There is news. After all, Ludo Bagman cannot escape as the director of the Sports Department," Fred sighed. "I asked other victims, and even if I found him, he still refused to admit it."
"Damn it!" George punched the wall. "If it wasn't for him, our shop would be open by now."
Who would have thought that the staff of the Ministry of Magic and the director of the Department of Sports and Sports could also cheat?Thinking of the consequences if his mother knew about this, George felt even more remorseful.
Fred patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Although the goblin has already taken all his money, he can't escape even if he is guarded by the goblin. As long as we persist, we will get back the principal one day."
Fred didn't even want to get back the part he won from the bet, as long as the principal was fine.
Seeing his brother's confident appearance, George hesitated, but finally he didn't express his worries.
The goblin will definitely not monitor Bagman after he pays off the debt. At that time, Bagman will use the power of the Ministry of Magic to escape, and it will be easy to take money from the two students!
"It was mainly because we were underage that he took advantage of the loopholes. And who would have thought that the gold coins of the Leprechauns in Ireland would disappear." George said dejectedly.For the first time, he regretted it. He had already saved enough money, so why would he want to gamble greedily?
Fred shook his head and left with George in his arms.
"It's so stupid, it's so stupid!" Snape scolded in the corner, "Combined with Harry Potter's bottom score in the last level, I really doubt Gryffindor's IQ."
"Don't say that," Alice put down Snape's hand, if she hadn't stopped him just now, the twins would feel what it means to lose both gold coins and points, "the twins are already the smartest group in Hogwarts." people."
Sometimes people's IQ can't be judged by their grades. The twins' almost never-failed pranks and endless inventions fully reflect their alternative high IQ.
As for the illegal gambling and being defrauded of money this time, Alice thinks that it was because they were too clever, so clever that they wanted to take a shortcut, coupled with the unique reckless bravery of Gryffindor, they completely ignored it. risks of.
"The director of the Sports Department made illegal bets, they dare to believe it!" Snape couldn't help but cursed again.In fact, Hogwarts students also gamble in private, but because the amount of money is not large, the professors also turn a blind eye.However, in such a big event as the World Cup, the employees of the Ministry of Magic took the initiative to start a gamble and enthusiastically invited minors to participate. Everyone knew that there was something tricky about it.
But Alice thought more: "Although this is a bad thing for Fred and George, it might be a good thing for the entire wizarding world!"
Ludo Bagman belongs to the non-communicative faction in the Ministry of Magic. Compared with his deceiving skills, his ability to not offend others and protect himself wisely is stronger.And with him luring minors to gamble and causing great adverse effects on the Ministry of Magic, if these two high hats are deducted, his subsequent political career can be said to be completely over.
"What? Are you going to expose his crimes?" Although Snape asked this, he didn't show much surprise.He has always known that Alice always has some inexplicable sense of justice.
"That's not inexplicable!" Alice emphasized, "In the face of this kind of corruption of government officials, we should actively report and expose it. As the head of the first department, he can even affect the entire UK! Who can guarantee that we will not be the next victim?"
"At least I can assure you," Snape smiled, "I can't be fooled by an idiot like Ludo Bagman."
Alice, who already had experience, automatically ignored Snape's overconfident words. She looked around and said mysteriously: "But this time, I don't plan to report directly. I think I should learn from the principal and have a big picture. .”
Snape raised his eyebrows, and instead of asking questions, he gave a strange blessing: "Really? Then work hard, if you can reach one-third of Dumbledore, the throne of Minister of Magic will become yours .”
Although she knew that Snape had always had a problem with Dumbledore, Alice was still choked, and she said unhappily, "Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do?"
Snape didn't speak, just made a gesture of listening attentively.
"As long as you hold him as a handle, isn't it more likely that Buster will succeed in the election?" Alice raised her chin, feeling that she was very thoughtful.
Bagman is no longer a question of whether he can continue to serve, but when he will enter.Not only in the early stage of the election, but after Burst succeeds, he can use Bagman to brush up his political achievements. This is one person with two uses!
At first Snape's expression was quite normal, but the more he listened, the more strange he looked at Alice: "Are you planning to use Bagman and send him to prison?"
"Don't look at me with that expression. He has to thank me. If I hadn't shown mercy, he could go to jail tomorrow." Alice said without guilt.For this kind of scum who uses his position to deceive minors, it is his honor to contribute to the future of the magic world.
Snape was silent, he had to admit that Alice's ability to learn was excellent, at least Dumbledore had already learned [-]% from making the best use of everything and brazenly opening his eyes and bluffing.
"Why eight points?" Alice asked curiously.
Snape asked, "Who is thicker-skinned, you or a 100-year-old man?"
Alice finally nodded convincingly, and then she smiled again: "I suddenly thought of something interesting."
She repeated the Daily Prophet's report: "Harry? He's a wonderful boy, I've always liked him. Male? You discriminate against gays? Love has nothing to do with gender!"
Under Snape's puzzled eyes, Alice said in admiration: "The boy who claims to like Harry is from Gryffindor. It just so happens that the twins are very short of money and asked Ron to help them set up, promising to refund the money if the identity of the man is not found out." What do you think, who is that Gryffindor boy?"

The author has something to say:
This chapter is a transitional chapter, because later... you know, after all, Voldemort has been resurrected
Then there is good news, did you see the little flowers on the copywriting, I signed a contract!You can see the update on time in the future!
I created a small account and posted an original book. I thought it would be faster to apply for two accounts together. I didn’t expect the small account to be successful, so I decided to use this account to write fandom.
