The Gryffindor students were immersed in the excitement of winning the Quidditch trophy, and the common room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone was talking about interesting things that happened during the game.
However, what made them even more excited was that they won the bet.
Yes, I won money.
They still made money from the banker on the Slytherin side, and there was nothing more worthy of their happiness than this.
Of course, this money is actually not easy to make.
Only when the Gryffindor team scores the first goal, Harry successfully catches the Golden Snitch, the Gryffindor team defeats the Slytherin team, and finally wins the Quidditch trophy of this year, can they achieve the above four points.
If the bet is considered a win, Slytherin's bankers will have to pay double the odds.
"How about it?"
As soon as Kenneth returned to the common room, he was surrounded by a group of people. Everyone asked Slytherin whether he had paid back the money as scheduled.
"It's a pity that they don't have enough galleons to repay our debts for the time being, but I have already gotten everyone's principal back. The remaining part will be repaid by Slytherin before the school holidays."
"How could this be?"
Everyone was dissatisfied with the fact that the Slytherin students owed money and refused to pay it back, and they were also afraid that they would not pay back the money.
"They really don't have any money to give. After all, they lost too badly. All three colleges won, so they lost. Don't push too hard, give them some time." Kenneth was very considerate.
There was no way, Slytherin's group of bookmakers really lost so miserably that they couldn't even take off their pants to compensate.
He estimated that Slytherin would need to pay at least a few hundred galleons, and the dealers would have to pay at least thirty or forty galleons. Kenneth doubted whether those guys could afford the money, even though those guys
Just because someone's family is rich doesn't mean they are also rich.
"What if they don't pay back the money?" Someone still couldn't help but ask, "The credibility of Slytherin students has never been high. What if they cheat and don't pay back the money?"
"They don't dare." Kenneth sneered, "Unless they want to be targeted by students from the three houses, and we have signed a magic contract with Slytherin. If they don't pay before the summer vacation,
There will be a price to pay for this.”
"What price?" someone asked curiously.
"It's secret for now." Kenneth said mysteriously, "If they really break the contract, you will find their faces particularly interesting next semester."
Kenneth dared to bet with those guys in Slytherin who had extremely bad credit. Naturally, he expected that this might happen and was prepared. Otherwise, how could he be willing to accept a bet that was so unfavorable to him?
"Speak quickly, speak quickly!" everyone urged.
"If you don't want the principal." Kenneth took out a list from his pocket and began to distribute everyone's principal.
"George, where is Albert?"
After paying out the principal in the bag, Kenneth walked towards the three people playing wizard cards in the corner.
"He went out."
"Remember to help me return the Galleons to him." Kenneth put a small bag in front of George, "Twenty Galleons, oh, by the way, and this is your principal."
"Did you make a lot of money this time?" George took the bag, checked the Galleons inside, and raised his head to ask Kenneth. He felt that the guy in front of him must have made a lot of money by taking this opportunity.
"This is the number." Kenneth raised his hand and shook it twice.
"100 Galleons? I thought you would make a lot of money out of this." George felt that he had overestimated Kenneth's greed. You must know that they also followed Albert after knowing that he had made a bet of 20 Galleons.
Bert placed his bet.
"If the other party loses too much and exceeds the limit they can bear, the other party may simply stop paying, and then we will suffer a big loss." Kenneth has naturally considered the situation where the other party cannot afford to pay.
At that time, it was no longer a matter of offending students from the three colleges.
Well, it was actually Albert who warned him not to be too greedy, let alone let the people in Slytherin lose too much, lest they could not afford to lose.
In fact, most students just support it, and no one will actually spend a lot of money to bet. Most of the funds in this bet fall into the pockets of a few people.
To this end, Kenneth directly tied up the interests of the three colleges and took out a magic contract to ensure that Slytherin would not default on its debt.
"You are really evil."
"If you think I'm evil, then give up the remaining twenty galleons." Kenneth despised the three guys in front of him. Even though he had taken advantage of them, you still had the nerve to make sarcastic remarks to him here.
"Why don't you want the money you won from gambling based on your own ability?" Fred curled his lips.
The banker on Slytherin's side was clearly arranged, but in the end, they still didn't know who did it. The three of them were sure that even Kenneth, the unlucky guy, didn't realize that he was pushed forward to take the blame.
Well, the contract signed by both parties has magical effects. Who provided that thing can be guessed even if you think on your knees.
"You... earned 20 Galleons?" Ron felt a little heavy in his chest.
"Yes, didn't you follow suit?" George couldn't understand the expression on Ron's face, and looked at Kenneth doubtfully, who shrugged with a half-smile.
"What's wrong with you?" Hermione noticed Ron's strange behavior.
"Nothing." Ron turned to look at Harry and asked, "How many galleons did you press?"
"Ten galleons." Harry said without thinking, "I don't think we will lose, nor do I think I will lose, let alone lose."
"As expected of Harry."
"I was just saying casually, and you, I remember you seemed to have made a bet too!" Harry looked at Ron's slightly pale face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"He gave up on his own later." Kenneth's expression was quite interesting, as if he wanted to laugh, but was holding back.
"Why give up?" Li Jordan was a little confused. He actually gave up on such a sure-profit thing?
As long as you ask around, you will know that students from the three houses are betting on the outcome of the game with the Slytherin banker. If they dare to make such a big fuss, they cannot bet without thinking.
"Actually, I've always felt that Ron has nothing to do with money." Fred suddenly said.
"I think so too." George nodded in agreement.
"Shut up." Ron glared at the twin brothers angrily. In fact, he also felt that he was very unlucky. Why did he give up in the first place?
It seems that he heard from Albert that Slytherin students like to cheat, and if they really lose the bet, they will probably cheat without paying any money, so he went to tell Kenneth that he would not gamble anymore, so as not to lose the remaining money in his pocket.
The little money I had was also lost.
At this moment, the door to the common room was opened, and Albert walked in.
"Where have you been?" George picked up the money bag on the table and threw it towards Albert.
"Where's Hagrid? By the way, Hermione, you should be okay next Wednesday. Take your Crookshanks to Hagrid's place and let the cat help him clean up the mice in the house."
"Can't it be tomorrow?" Hermione was a little confused and didn't understand why next Wednesday was chosen.
"He needs some time to get his things together," Albert said.
As for why it is next Wednesday, it is naturally because next Wednesday is the full moon, and he is going to make clear arrangements for "cats, dogs, wolves, and rats" in one go.
