Chapter 621 I Didn’t Expect You to Be This Kind of Person!

Ludo Bagman is the Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic and the organizer and referee of the Triwizard Tournament.

Now that the other organizer, Barty Crouch, is away from the castle for a long time, all matters of the game are handled by the other party.

This includes how warriors select fire dragons!

If Ludo Bagman was willing to help him cheat, it would be easy for him to choose Noble during the lottery.

Especially since this guy now owes a lot of debt, Ivan felt that he was still very confident in persuading the director of the Sports Department.

Thinking of this, Ivan stopped delaying. After a hurried lunch, he used the Marauder's Map to confirm the location of Ludo Bagman, and successfully blocked him in a secret and uninhabited corner...

Ivan originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time and rely on coercion and inducement to get Ludo Bagman to compromise, but the other party's level of cooperation was completely beyond his expectation.

"You want to select a specific dragon in the first game? Of course, no problem!" After hearing Ivan's request, Ludo Bagman immediately agreed without any hesitation. down.

"If you need it, I can provide you with other help!"

Having said this, Ludo Bagman carefully looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he felt relieved.

"Mr. Bagman, I have always thought that you are a fair referee!" Ivan looked at the Director of the Sports Department in front of him with a strange expression, almost wondering if this was a game deliberately designed by the other party... This was too smooth. point!

"Well, yes, that's true under normal circumstances!" Ludo Bagman's expression became a little embarrassed, "But I have encountered a little trouble recently..."

"Little trouble? I heard from George and Fred that you opened a bet on the World Quidditch Tournament, and in the end the bet collapsed. You confiscated their principal and have not returned it to this day... You mean Is this the case?" Ivan looked at Ludo Bagman playfully and asked.

"You've misunderstood, Hals...I didn't confiscate their funds, I just kept them temporarily. When I have enough money in a few days, I will return them to them!" Ludo Bagman coughed lightly. , said defensively.

Ivan didn't believe a word he said. He didn't dare to accept the other party's help without confirming why the other party was so attentive. Otherwise, if Bagman temporarily betrayed him and exposed his cheating during the game, he would have a hard time explaining it. Got it!

Under Ivan's repeated questioning, Ludo Bagman had to reveal a little bit of information.

Only then did Ivan know that when the World Quidditch Cup was held this year, Ludo Bagman opened a gambling game and planned to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to make a fortune.

But who knew that the game suddenly turned into an upset. The Irish team defeated the Bulgarian team with a weak score. The ultra-high odds and the bets of a few wealthy people almost made the director of the Sports Department, who did not have a rich family, almost bankrupt. Now he is still I owe a lot of debt and haven't paid it back.

In order to fill this hole in the short term, Ludo Bagman immediately decided to take another big gamble! So he borrowed money everywhere, mortgaged his house, and put all these funds on the Triwizard Tournament!

Bet that Ivan can finally win the Goblet of Fire and take first place in all three games!

Only in this way can the odds be high enough for him to pay off all the debts he owes...

Of course, since Dare to play so big, Ludo Bagman also has some reliance. He is the organizer of the Triwizard Tournament and can use his position to give Ivan some help.

But at first, Ludo Bagman was prepared to help secretly.

According to the information he painstakingly collected, Ivan is a righteous and graceful little wizard. He cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes and will definitely sneer at such cheating methods...

Therefore, Ludo Bagman has never dared to show any intention to help, because he was worried that Ivan would develop a rejection mentality.

Unexpectedly, after some contact, he was shocked to realize that the rumor was wrong!

I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!

Thinking of this, Ludo Bagman looked at Ivan and his eyes became more and more weird.

I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! After learning some of the inside story, Ivan was also speechless.

The powerful director of the Ministry of Magic turned out to be a gambler with no limits. He even tried to make up for the money he owed from gambling with another huge gamble...even risking his entire net worth!

However, this also allowed Ivan to dispel his previous doubts. At least they had the same goal in terms of winning the Triwizard Tournament.

While secretly complaining in his heart, Ivan pretended to be appreciative on the surface and spoke. "I have to say, you are very discerning this time, Mr. Bagman! Congratulations on your right bet..."

"I've always had a good eye!" Bagman said with a smile. He read through all the reports about Ivan before finally making his decision.

Then Bagman stretched out his hand and spoke again. "Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!" Ivan also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking Bagman's hand together.

…

The biggest problem was solved, and Ivan finally felt relieved. He then took the time to sneak into the Forbidden Forest using the Disguise Charm during his nap time, and got familiar with and communicated with Norbert for a while, letting the fire dragon Look at his eyes and act tomorrow!

But there was some noise in the process, which attracted many dragon trainers. Ivan had no time to confirm whether Norbert understood what he meant, so he hurriedly left the Forbidden Forest.

In the afternoon, Ivan kept his promise and found an empty classroom with Harry and Hermione to continue practicing magic.

The Eye Spell was much more difficult to cast than the Flying Curse, and one afternoon was simply not enough time. Harry practiced until late at night before finally able to cast the spell with great reluctance.

It was already late at night, and the exhausted Harry had already exhausted all the magic power in his body, so he had no choice but to cancel his plan to continue training and return to the lounge with Ivan.

The two of them slowly opened the door to the bedroom and quietly prepared to go to bed. However, they unexpectedly saw a figure sitting by the window in a daze with his back to them.

Relying on the little light brought by the moonlight, Ivan quickly noticed that the other party was wearing an old style swirl pajamas.

"Ron?" Ivan confirmed the identity of the figure, but then wondered why Ron was still sitting there at this point.

"Are you waiting for us here?" Ivan frowned and continued to ask.

Harry almost laughed out loud. He didn't understand why Ivan would make such a nonsensical guess.

Of course, it's not completely impossible. After all, the game is tomorrow, and the opponent may be here to mock them specifically...

Under the gaze of the two of them, Ron slowly turned around, with a very troubled expression on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck in his mouth and he couldn't spit them out. come out.

Harry ignored him at all and just made his bed and got ready to sleep.

"Are you ready for tomorrow's game?" Ron, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked abruptly.

Harry paused in getting on the bed and looked at Ron in surprise.

Ron's face immediately turned red. He realized that his words just now meant he was being submissive, and he immediately added in a weird tone. "I'm waiting to see how you defeat a dragon tomorrow!"

"Then you will see it!" Harry, who had been cold and sleepy after practicing spells all day, was already in a bad mood. Now that he heard Ron's weird words again, he was so angry that he grabbed him on the bed. The pillow was thrown heavily into Ron's face.

Then Harry didn't want any pillows, pulled down the curtains, and suffocated himself under the quilt.

As for Ivan on the other side, he had already gone to bed when they were quarreling. He was too lazy to pay attention to the quarrel between the two. After a busy day, Ivan just wanted to have a good rest.

The first game has to be played tomorrow...
