Chapter 635: Bagman and the Goblin

"My sister said that she would also go winter swimming in the lake recently!" Gabriel said, looking at Krum who dived into the lake, "It's so strange, she never had this habit before, is there anything in this lake? !"

"Who knows!"

Hearing Gabriel's words, Hermione looked at Krum thoughtfully, feeling caught on to something.

It sounds abnormal that two warriors in a row went to the lake to practice winter swimming.

"You said, will the second event be related to the lake, and let the warriors dive into the lake..." she said.

"Absolutely impossible!" Ron said directly, "Unless they are crazy, they will let us go there!"

"It's okay to be cold, but there are giant squids in the lake!"

Ivan helped Hermione persuade a few words, Harry and Ron didn't think about that at all.

They dismissed Hermione's speculation, and everyone's attention was quickly turned elsewhere.

Because I will meet with Sirius in a while, and Sirius will also help Ivan practice Apparition.

Although Aiwen is very reassuring to everyone, this matter itself is illegal, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

So, when we get to Hogsmeade, the few of them will act separately!

Colin accompanied Gabriel, Ginny and two other girls to the Honeydukes candy store. Gabriel gave these candies to her classmates in Beauxbatons as Christmas gifts not long ago, and they were very popular. This time, she was going to buy a lot of candy for them to take back.

As for Ron, he had a lunch date with Lavender, but it wasn't there yet.

There was still more than half an hour before the appointment with Sirius, so Harry proposed to sit down at the Three Broomsticks first.

The tavern was crowded as usual, and the four of them bought a few bottles of butterbeer from Mrs. Rosmerta and found a corner.

"Look, doesn't he ever go to work in the office?" Hermione whispered, pushing Ivan.

She pointed to the mirror behind the bar, and Ivan saw Ludo Bagman reflected in the mirror.

He was sitting in a dark corner with a group of goblins, and was speaking quickly to the goblins in a low voice.

The goblins all folded their arms, looked menacing, and shook their heads from time to time.

Every time the goblins shook their heads, Bagman's expression turned ugly.

"Things seem a little weird!" Harry said, looking at Bagman in the mirror, "Think about it, today is the weekend, and there is no Triwizard Tournament event, no referee, how could he appear here?"

Bagman's expression was tense, and he kept looking around, as if looking for an escape route.

Then, his eyes lit up and saw Ron sitting in the corner.

He leaned closer, whispered something to the goblins, and quietly pointed to Ivan and the four of them. 【】

The goblins looked at Ron silently with sideways black eyes, and then nodded.

"Deal, wait a minute, I'll go have a word with that kid!" Bagman said, smiling again on that baby face.

He stood up and hurried towards Ron.

"Children, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a coincidence. How are you doing recently?!" He said, walking up to Ron, "Ron, can I have a few words with you alone? ?”

"Well, of course!" Ron looked at him suspiciously, and followed Bagman to the end of the bar away from Mrs. Rosmerta.

They stayed there for more than a minute, Ron looked a little surprised, and then showed a hint of joy.

Ivan drank a sip of butter beer. It seemed that in order to pay back the money, Bagman must have bet with the goblins again. He put all his chips on Ron, betting that Ron would win the Triwizard Tournament. All his gambling debts were written off.

Bagman is telling Ron about the secret of the golden egg, and Ron accepts his help.

As a referee and the director of the Department of Magical Sports, he actually took the initiative to violate the regulations, cheating and so on is really the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament.

"What are they talking about?" said Hermione, sipping her butterbeer. "Those goblins don't look very friendly?!"

"Probably about the game." Ai Wen said, taking out a densely packed parchment from his pocket.

He didn't care about that, and was going to use the time to go over the gist of Apparition.

"Apparition looks cool, and it's very convenient to use!" Harry said, staring at Ivan's parchment, "I also want Sirius to help me pass the exam, so that I don't have to wait until I am an adult to use this spell. "

"No, Harry!" Hermione looked very shocked, "It's illegal to do this, and it's very dangerous, because there are many people who lose their lives every year because of Apparation failure, and you don't have as much magical power as Ivan, Can fully master this spell..."

"I know, I was just talking!" said Harry.

As Hermione said, the Apparition spell was not something to be joked about.

Failure to use often means the separation of the body and death, so the Ministry of Magic will test this.

Alvin had Apparated many times, but was still a little nervous about using the spell himself for the first time.

The quill in his hand kept writing and drawing on the parchment, marking relevant points.

Apparition is divided into two modes of use, one is used for long-distance rapid movement, and the other is for teleporting to change positions in a duel.

Although the spells are the same, the mana consumption and usage skills are different.

Harry and Hermione leaned their heads over, looking at what Ivan wrote, wanting to know more details.

On the other hand, the conversation between Ron and Bagman was quickly interrupted, because Fred and George just appeared at this time.

The two of them just walked into the tavern when they saw Bagman in front of the bar.

"Hello, Mr. Bagman!" said Fred cheerfully, hurrying over, "may we buy you a drink?"

"Well, no need." Bagman said, and patted Ron on the shoulder, "No, thank you, children..."

Fred and George seemed disappointed in Bagman and were about to say something more to get their money back.

"I've got to get going," he said. "It's good to see you all. Good luck, Ron, and don't forget what I said."

He hurried out of the tavern, and the goblins rose from their chairs and followed him out.

Fred and George hesitated, but followed suit.

"What does he want?" Harry asked, as soon as Ron returned and sat down.

"Nothing!" Ron shook his head, not saying what Bagman told him.

He was hesitating whether to try this method, although it sounded absurd, but he had no other choice! .
