Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 556 Souvenirs (First Update)

"What? You guys are sure you want to bet on all the underdogs with odds of up to 20 times?"

Ten minutes later, Ludo looked at everyone who had come out of the magic tent again, and found that they had all taken out all their savings and bought the least likely, unpopular option. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

This is so unlike the Weasley family's style.

Especially considering that Arthur only took out two Galleons and bet on the safest option with the lowest odds.

However, after seeing everyone nodding in unison, he didn't say anything more.

After all, this was a great opportunity for him; why wouldn't he take money that was free?

"Here, take these. They're your proof of payment when you come to cash out."

Ludo quickly pulled out a quill from his notebook, wrote down everyone's name and bet, and then distributed the special little parchment slips to everyone.

However, when he remembered Jerry wearing a mask and learned his true identity, he suddenly had a vague sense of unease.

But he didn't think much of it. It's common for Quidditch players from different teams to bet on themselves to win every year. It's not that they're really sure they can win; it's just to encourage themselves.

It's a bit puzzling that Jerry bought so many items at once, especially the unpopular ones, and even got the Weasley family to follow suit.

"Jerry, we're counting on you now!"

As Ludo carried the large bag toward the next magic tent, everyone turned their expectant gaze toward Jerry.

They've staked everything they own; if something goes wrong, it'll be a real problem.

Jerry, meanwhile, calmly made an Oak sign; he had just casually tossed in a thousand Galleons.

In fact, money has lost all meaning for him.

Putting aside the huge publishing fees he receives from his books, with his current level of Transfiguration Charms, he can also conjure those Galleons with the special markings of fairies.

However, since the Galleons have serial numbers, an increase in their number entering the market could easily cause confusion.

But that's not a problem. He can earn a lot of Galleons just by taking out any of the precious herbs in his ring world, the large number of potions he has refined, and the various magical artifacts he has made.

However, he couldn't simply give these Galleons to the Weasley family and Hermione, because their pride wouldn't allow them to accept them.

Harry is so rich, and every time he wanted to help the Weasleys, he ended up not doing so, for the same reason.

Therefore, helping in this form is actually better and the most acceptable way for them.

After Ludo left, several Ministry of Magic officials stopped to chat with Arthur when they passed by the tent, mentioning some important event that was about to be held at Hogwarts.

However, when the Weasley brothers asked what the event was, the officials and Asa all kept it a secret and said they would find out after school started.

However, this also shows that although Arthur's family was relatively poor because of raising children, he had good relationships with most of the officials in the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, this is also inextricably linked to his surname, Weasley.

As dusk approached, Percy, who had been nowhere to be seen, finally appeared.

Previously, there were always wizards in the camp who liked to cast all sorts of strange spells, so he and his colleagues had to stop them to prevent any accidents from happening.

It's important to know that the Quidditch World Cup is never a peaceful affair. Often, some wizards get too excited and create a whole host of headaches before the competition even begins.

For example, in 1809, a dark wizard cast a powerful curse on the forest near the camp, causing the trees to uproot and attack all the wizards present.

The wizards fought for seven hours to destroy the cursed trees, but many wizards died in the battle.

The match in 1877 was known as "the match that nobody remembers".

Because someone used a large-scale forgetting spell during that competition, all the participating wizards were completely unaware of what had happened during the competition after it ended.

Such instances have occurred frequently in the 421 World Cup finals throughout wizarding history.

With the official start of the competition fast approaching, the Ministry of Magic could no longer suppress the atmosphere and thus relaxed its control slightly, allowing Percy and his security personnel to take a break.

At the same time, a large number of vendors who had been prepared arrived by Apparition, carrying trays and pushing carts, and began to wander in front of the magic tents, selling various items and souvenirs that would be used during the competition.

There are Irish Shamrock medals that glow green and English Cross medals that glow red; these medals can even help you call out the names of your favorite players.

There was a green hat with clover that could flutter in the wind, and a red sash with a lion on it that could roar from time to time.

There are also small fire crossbow bolts and models of all the members of both teams. The small fire crossbow bolts can fly under the control of magic. One little guy just bought one and used it to poke his dad's butt.

You can hold all the team members' models in your hand, and they will walk around in your hand with pride. Jerry even saw quite a few of his own models.

The only reason wizards don't have portrait rights is that these businesses profit from using his image, otherwise they would at least have to share some with him.

Finally, there's the essential panoramic telescope for every wizard watching the match, allowing them to see every detail of the entire arena. It also supports replay and slow-motion playback, and match analysis will be presented in real time.

"Oh no, we've given all our money to Mr. Bagman!"

Hermione gasped in surprise, and the others, who had been excited about the souvenirs, were instantly dumbfounded.

Only then did they realize that in a moment of impulse, they had spent all their money on betting, and now they were all penniless.

Harry was no exception. Although Harry wasn't short of money, that was relative to ordinary wizards. Why not earn more if you can? So he also used all the money in his pocket to bet, and now he couldn't go to Gringotts in Diagon Alley to get the money right away.

Without money, these interesting little gadgets are out of reach for them.

"Don't worry, I have more!"

Jerry casually reached into the backpack next to him and pulled out another bag of Galleons.

"So rich!"

When Jerry pulled out another bag of Galleons, everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Just now, Jerry placed the largest bet, a full thousand Galleons.

Now, there's still so much left over.

"Never mind, Jerry, you don't have to do that!"

Ron's face turned bright red, and he was the first to refuse.
