Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 555 Jerry's Hidden Secret (Third Update)

"Of course, Ludo, what are the odds like now?"

Arthur immediately became interested when he saw Ludo coming over.

Ludo, carrying his large sack full of Galleons, explained with a smile:

"The odds for the win or loss of the two teams are currently 1.5. Most people still believe that Ireland has a higher chance of winning. If you choose England, you can get more if they win."

However, when it came to who would catch the Golden Snitch first, most people chose Jerry Carmen.

Of course, there are even higher odds options, such as calculating the time it takes for Jerry Carmen to catch the Golden Snitch: 20x for five minutes, 10x for thirty minutes, 2x for one hour, and so on.

In a normal international Quidditch match, the Golden Snitch is usually released half an hour after the start of the game. Jerry will choose when to catch the Golden Snitch based on the score in the game.

If England has the advantage, then it doesn't matter.

If they are at a disadvantage, the odds will be determined based on the difference in points, but it is usually between one and two hours. The odds set by Ludo are calculated based on Jerry's usual performance.

Based on his years of experience, given the level of the Irish team, the chances of Jerry catching the Golden Snitch within an hour were slim, so he set the odds very high.

"I'll bet one Galleon on England to win, and one Galleon on Jerry catching the Golden Snitch within an hour and a half."

Arthur thought for a moment and took out two Galleons.

Seeing that there were only two Galleons, Ludo looked disappointed, but he quickly regained his interest and turned to look at Jerry and the others.

"Very good, very good... Is there anyone else who wants to bet?"

Jerry was wearing a mask at this moment, and Ludo did not recognize him.

"They are too young to gamble."

Before Arthur could finish speaking, George and Fred pulled out all their savings:

"We'll bet thirty-seven gold Galleons, fifteen silver Siccoons, and three bronze Knuts. We can buy Jerry within an hour."

"Wait, Mr. Ludo, we need to discuss this first."

Jerry suddenly interrupted, then pulled everyone into the magic tent, leaving Ludo standing outside, somewhat confused.

"What's wrong, Jerry?"

Arthur, holding two Galleons he hadn't yet handed over, asked in confusion.

Everyone else also looked at Jerry at the same time.

"Want to make a big profit?"

Jerry looked at everyone with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Jerry, what's big?"

George and Fred immediately became interested. They had always wanted to open their own magic joke shop after graduation, so they were very keen on anything that could make money.

He had just bet all his savings on soccer, hoping to make a small profit and double his assets immediately if he won.

"Actually, I've never told you that I can catch the Golden Snitch as soon as it's released, not only during school competitions, but also during the World Cup."

However, to prevent the game from ending too quickly each time and causing future Quidditch rules to be changed, I deliberately slowed down the time it took to catch the Golden Snitch.

Jerry slowly revealed the truth that he had kept hidden for so long.

Upon hearing Jerry's explanation, everyone froze on the spot.

Ron, who watches the game every day, kept muttering to himself:

"No wonder, no wonder you always manage to turn the tide of battle at the most crucial moments. So that's how it is! Oh, Merlin, this is simply amazing!"

Before Ron could finish speaking, the Weasley twins interrupted with excited loud laughter:

"This is absolutely fantastic!"

Because they understood what Jerry meant: to use all their money to bet on him catching the Golden Snitch within five minutes, and then their assets would instantly increase twentyfold!

At that time, they will be able to obtain more than 700 Galleons.

"Jerry, what you said is true!"

Arthur became excited at this point as well.

Although Percy has now graduated, four of his children are still attending Hogwarts, and this year the school's shopping list included a dress for parties.

Four sets of banquet dresses—that's quite an expense.

Therefore, their family is currently facing a severe shortage of funds, and his wife, Mrs. Molly, has decided to make do with secondhand, inexpensive dresses.

However, if what Jerry said is true, then their family's assets will instantly increase twentyfold, and all their problems will be solved.

"Don't worry, I don't joke about things like this."

Jerry nodded with great certainty.

If anyone else had said this, Arthur might not have believed it, but coming from the steady and mature Jerry, he simply said he was going home to get some money and then Apparated and disappeared on the spot.

"We need to leave for a while!"

Bill and Charlie exchanged a glance, then both Apparated away to retrieve the money.

Both of them had been working away from home for several years and naturally had some savings. How could they miss out on such a great opportunity?

Perfect timing! If their assets increase twentyfold this time, they'll have more than enough money to get married and start a family in the future.

"Unfortunately, I only have one silver shico."

Ron looked disappointed.

"I have two."

Ginny and Ron are like brothers in misfortune.

Unlike the Weasley brothers, who often earned money by selling their own inventions at school, the two boys' school supplies and daily necessities were all provided by their mother, Mrs. Molly.

So naturally, I didn't have much pocket money.

The three silver coins I have in my pocket now were given to me by my mother, Molly, as an extra gift for coming to watch the Quidditch World Cup.

As for Harry, he wasn't as excited as the others.

After all, his parents left him a huge inheritance, and he's not short of Galleons right now.

"I also have 100 Galleons to throw."

After Arthur, Bill, and Charlie left, Hermione seemed to remember something and took out the 100 Galleons her father had given her to buy school supplies in Diagon Alley the next day from her bag in her room.

Harry and Ron looked on incredulously upon hearing this.

They thought that, given Hermione's personality, she would tell them that gambling was bad and they shouldn't gamble, but they never expected her to get involved as well.

Ginny, who has an exceptionally high EQ at such a young age, was not so surprised by this.

Because she knew that it wasn't normal for girls in love to do some unusual things.

If Jerry weren't here, and the betting content had nothing to do with him, Hermione probably wouldn't have participated in the betting even if she knew they were guaranteed to win. She might even have given Harry and Ron a lecture, just like a teacher would.

Unfortunately, now that all of this involves Jerry, the outcome is naturally different.

When you truly fall in love with someone, everything related to them will be beautiful.
