Chapter 505: Gambling Is an Abyss Full of Disasters

At first, the twins came to Bagman, intending to buy him a drink and then have a good chat about the World Cup bet, but Bagman was still trying to shirk it as before.

"Sorry, I'm very busy right now. Is there anything I can talk about in two days?"

As Bagman spoke, he looked around, as if he wanted to find one to get rid of the twins.

"We'll only take up a little of your time, Mr. Bagman."

Fred and George flanked Bagman, refusing to let him leave.

After the other party lost the bet, they kept delaying the payment of compensation. George and Fred originally thought that the other party was also an official of the Ministry of Magic, so they had been discussing with him in a good manner.

But as he delayed again and again, the twins' patience was running out.

"Even if you don't plan to give us the gold galleons we deserve according to the odds, at least you should pay back the principal!"

In fact, the twins no longer expect to win money from Bagman. What they want is to at least not lose money.

However, the principal they originally invested had already been used by Bagman to fill the hole he owed to the goblin.

"Oh, the principal, yes, the principal..." Bagman glanced around uncertainly, and said perfunctorily: "Of course there is no problem, and I will definitely give you the money you win... …”

His words gradually became fluent, "It's just that you need to know that no one will walk around with such a large amount of money. You should also know that I am busy with the Triwizard Tournament now. It's better to wait until the Triwizard Tournament." After the tournament is over, how about I go to Gringotts to take out the money and give it to you?"

It's just that the twins, who had been pushed away by Bagman many times, no longer trusted him and still dragged him reluctantly to prevent him from leaving.

"No! When the Triwizard Tournament is over, where are we going to find you? We have already asked Percy, and he said that you don't usually stay in the Ministry of Magic to work!"

In addition, Percy also told the twins that from time to time, people would come to the Ministry of Magic to ask for debts from Bagman.

This is also an important reason why the twins are so unrelenting now.

"George, Fred, was he defrauded of your money?"

(ΦωΦ)

Just as the three of them were entangled, Fish suddenly appeared from the side. Bagman, who had been in the bar before, naturally knew about the existence of Maomao. As soon as the twins came to the bar, they rushed to Bagman, but they didn't Spot Fish in the corner.

"Fish..."

The twins looked very embarrassed. They actually didn't want Fish to know about this.

Firstly, if Professor McGonagall finds out about this, there will definitely be no good fruit for the two of them. Secondly, if Fish knows that the money they made together has been cheated, he will probably not let it go.

Ludo Bagman on the other side had the same idea, so he had always wanted to run away before, but he still didn't know much about cats' hearing. He didn't know that his conversation with the twins had already been heard by Fish. Got it crystal clear.

"How could I defraud them of their money?" Bagman, who didn't know the situation, was still trying to hide it: "There is just a little misunderstanding between us."

"You lied, meow! Fei Xu heard it! And those goblins just now, you also owe them money!"

(`ω)

Although Fish was not interested in the previous conversation between Bagman and the goblin, it did not mean that he did not hear it. The content was also related to money.

Bagman's face turned pale when he realized that everyone in the bar was looking over, especially Rita Skeeter who took out her quill and parchment.

"There is a misunderstanding here! There is a misunderstanding!"

Bagman was explaining it not so much to Fish as to the other people in the bar, specifically Skeeter, the reporter.

He took Fish's arm and whispered: "Don't make trouble yet. I will definitely repay George and Fred's money. Let's go and discuss this matter slowly."

The twins didn't want to make this matter a big deal, so they and Bagman pulled Fish to another corner, but Hermione and Skeeter also followed.

"What are you doing here?!"

Bagman opened his big, baby-like clear blue eyes and stared at Skeeter with an ugly expression. His originally kind baby face had become extremely gloomy at this time.

"Of course you will accompany Feishi and see for him whether you will deceive him like you did with those previous creditors."

Skeeter grinned, revealing the three golden teeth in her mouth.

Regarding Bagman's deeds, Skeeter has actually collected a lot of information. However, although Bagman owed a lot of debts before, they were all in small sums, and he also paid them back one after another. .

Therefore, although Skeeter holds a lot of materials in his hands, there are not many that can actually threaten him. Moreover, the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic is not a department with real power. Even if it is reported, it will not make a big news. This is the reason why she has not reported it.

But things are different now. From what Fish said just now, Bagman's bet seems to involve the goblin clan. If this is not handled well, not to mention another goblin rebellion, at least the Ministry of Magic will have a headache for a while. Skeeter will naturally Will not let go easily.

Feixu is really his lucky star!

Rita Skeeter, who had already dug out several big news stories from Maomao, was very excited.

Bagman's face became even darker. He had intended to fool Fish and the Weasley twins, but with Skeeter, a shrewd fellow, next to him, his plan would certainly fail.

However, Fish didn't bother to care what Bagman thought. He waved his fist angrily and shouted, "Tell me! Why did you cheat George and Fred out of their money!"

(`ω)

"I didn't cheat them out of their money!" Bagman waved his hands repeatedly. He looked at the twins who were glaring at him and Skeeter who was watching coldly. Finally, he sighed helplessly and told the truth, "It's just... it's just... I don't have enough money to pay them back for the time being..."

Then he didn't wait for Fish and the twins to continue questioning, and told them everything about his current situation.

In the previous Quidditch World Cup, Bagman dared to open the market and act as the banker because he thought that even if he lost the bet, he could control the debt within a certain range. However, he never expected that in the end, the losing party would catch the Golden Snitch. This kind of ending is rare in many years.

What made Bagman even more crazy was that several people had placed heavy bets on this, including the Weasley twins and the goblin. However, compared to them, the money of the Ministry of Magic officials and the pure-blood families had to be repaid first, so he could only use all the funds on hand to fill the hole there, and the twins and the goblin could only use the leprechaun's gold coins to fool them.

"I didn't mean to not pay back the money I owe," Bagman said with a bitter face, "It's just that I really don't have any money now..."

"That's true," Rita Skeeter nodded and actually helped explain, "Although Bagman couldn't pay back the money before, he slowly made up for it later, but..."

She changed the subject, "He used to do small things, but now he owes money that he probably won't be able to pay back in his lifetime."

"I have a way!" Bagman quickly defended himself, "I made another bet with the goblins, betting that the champion of this Triwizard Tournament will be Fish! As long as Fish wins the championship, our debt will be written off! They have agreed!"

"What meow?! Those goblins actually think Fish can't win?! Humph!"

(〃｀3〃)

The cat didn't care much about the messy things Bagman said before, but he couldn't stand the last sentence. Fish crossed his arms and shouted indignantly.
