Chapter 845： 1 make money

After watching the Quidditch match for several days, Albert found that the Quidditch World Cup was not as interesting as he thought. Especially after the excitement of the previous few days, the original novelty began to fade, and even Niya’s curiosity about the wizard’s camp was greatly weakened, and she didn’t even go out to wander at night. Instead, she was facing Izabel and Wa Leria and Catherine are interested in the cosmetic medicines they studied.

Women always care about their looks, just like men always like beautiful women.

"It's almost time!" Albert glanced at the open pocket watch, put down the newspaper and prepared to go to Black, not forgetting to tell the house elves to watch Nya before leaving.

Sirius’s tent is in the camp next door. It’s about ten minutes’ walk away. This is actually not that far. After all, the Quidditch World Cup stadium can accommodate 100,000 people, which means that there will be at least 10,000 tents divided. It is normal to have several camping areas.

If it were not for the magical tents of wizards, Albert wondered whether this land could accommodate so many wizards without being noticed by Muggle satellites?

Compared with the night, the camp during the day is very deserted. Many wizards are sleeping to make up for their sleep. Of course, some wizards are packing their tents and preparing to leave. There are many wizards who only watch a game, after all, Quidditch tickets are not cheap.

"Albert, here, here."

As Albert walked through the camp, he found his roommate Lee Jordan was desperately waving at him, and beside him stood a black wizard who looked a lot like him. He seemed to hear his son's shout, no Talk to the man next to him, but turn his head and look at Lee Jordan's line of sight.

"When did you arrive. By the way, this is my father." Lee Jordan enthusiastically introduced his father to Albert.

"Oh, dear Ludo, let me think about the stakes for a while, and I'll look for you later, okay?" Mr. Li cast an apologetic expression at Bagman, then smiled and went forward to talk to Albert Say hello, "You are Albert. I often hear Jordan mention you. Originally, I wanted to invite you to watch a football game."

Bagman couldn't help but frowned, but he looked at the young man in front of him curiously. He always felt that the other person was a bit familiar. After hearing the person next to him say Albert's name, he remembered who the other person was.

"Albert Anderson, the most talented wizard of the century?" Bagman said in an exaggerated tone.

"Hello, Mr. Bagman." Albert said in surprise, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Do you know?" Mr. Li asked curiously.

"Mr. Bagman is the commentator of the Quidditch World Cup." Albert explained.

"Mr. Anderson is now a big celebrity. He has won two international awards in one month. How about, do you want to place a bet on the game? Ireland has a great chance of winning this year." Bagman said excitedly.

"Okay, Ludo, don't teach bad kids, let's talk about the stakes later!" Mr. Li interrupted in front of Bagman, "Albert, come in and sit for a while, by the way, try my latest tricks. Arriving tea."

"Well, see you later." Bagman frowned, turned and walked away.

"Dad said Bagman is very fond of gambling, and always likes to pull people around to bet." Lee Jordan warmly invited Albert into the tent and poured him a cup of hot tea with a silver pot.

Albert glanced at the fresh mint in the cup and took a sip. The pot was filled with green tea, which tasted good.

"If you can win money, who doesn't like gambling?" Albert put down his teacup and said meaningfully: "However, I heard people say that Bagman lost a lot of money."

"How much did you squeeze?" Lee Jordan asked straightforwardly.

"No." Albert noticed that Lee Jordan's father was looking at him, and said, "However, Mr. Bagman is right. Ireland's winning rate is not small, and it is very hopeful to win this Quidditch. World Cup champion."

"That's great."

The three talked about the ball game for a while, and Albert left.

Lee Jordan's father looked at the bag of Galleons on the table and said to his son: "Your friend is very unusual!"

"Of course it's not ordinary. That's a genius who won two international awards in a month. He won more prizes than many people have earned in a few years." Lee Jordan smiled and rubbed his hands and asked: "Dad, you How much you intend to suppress, this is a trade that will make a profit without losing money."

"Take him the same amount. I guess that 80% of your friend doesn't just ask us to bet." Lee Jordan's father naturally knew that he couldn't stand up to one person, and he was going to look for other hapless guys.

If you really make Bagman bald, you won't be able to get the money back then.

"Treasure your relationship. It is not easy to find good friends." After Albert left a bag of Galleons, Lee Jordan's father no longer doubted Albert's judgment.

Albert did find a few acquaintances who were willing to help bets. As for making the bet personally, it was too eye-catching. Adhering to the principle of making money together, many reliable acquaintances helped, and the interest relationship was sometimes particularly reliable.

After greeting many acquaintances along the way, Albert finally came outside Sirius's tent. Hermione and Lupin were setting up a grill, and Harry and Ron were helping them.

However, they are more often unhelpful.

"Harry, you and Ron will get some water back." Sirius handed the bucket to Harry and Ron.

"see you later."

Harry greeted Albert and left with Ron carrying the bucket.

"Let's go inside and talk about magazines and publications." Sirius embraced Albert's shoulder enthusiastically and led him into the tent.

Hermione looked at the two entering the tent suspiciously, thinking that they seemed to have something private to discuss, so she didn't want to disturb them either.

Sirius’s tent is very luxurious, but it has a stale atmosphere, it seems that it has been a while.

As soon as Albert sat down, Sirius put a bag of gold coins in front of him.

"You're right, Bagman is really unreliable. He only gave me half of Galleon." Sirius crossed his hands and said to Albert. "The other half continues to bet, but this time Bagman learns to be smart. Yes, the odds are not high."

Albert took the money bag and kindly reminded: "You can go to other dealers to bet, don't keep staring at Bagman alone, if he owes a debt, he will definitely go wrong."

"You make sense, but I haven't found any other dealers yet." Sirius was also worried that Bagman would suddenly fall back. If you really owe a debt, you will definitely do so.

"Many wizards like to gamble." Albert said without hesitation, "you can always find it."

"By the way, are you interested in investing in magazine publications? We plan to start a Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine publication according to your suggestion. Remus is the editor-in-chief. You know, he used to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"You shouldn't be short of money?" Albert's expression was a bit weird, and he didn't seem to understand why Sirius was looking for his own investment.

"To tell you, I started a magazine and publication just to find a job for Remus. You should also know that his werewolf status is difficult to find a decent job in the magical world." Sirius sighed: "Of course, we You don’t need to pay how many Galleons, just occasionally help with some ideas, and you don’t usually need your help. I can also give you three-tenths of the shares. If you really lose money in the end, I can use the original price of Galleons. Buy back the shares in your hand."

Albert thinks that Black is more like a decision on this matter with a hot brain, but the conditions given by the other party are very sincere!

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse." Albert thought for a moment and smiled. "As long as nothing goes wrong, the defense against the dark arts field has indeed been selling well in recent years. As long as you have a firm foothold in the past few years, you won't worry about making money. No money."

When Sirius heard Albert's promise, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The conditions he gave were quite favorable.

However, considering Albert's idea of ​​making money together, and the other party helped him win such a large sum of Galleons, Sirius felt that he should be more generous.

Albert is not short of money at all, and this time he doesn't know how much he won in the gambling.

Albert can find himself, and naturally he can find others to help bet, and no one knows that he did that. But the reason that made Sirius determined to get him into the group is that Albert is a very suitable friend to make friends. It is not difficult to see this with the attitude of friends.

Of course, Albert also helped him to settle the trouble, and Sirius saw the former figures of the robbers from the Albert quartet, but they are much better than the former robbers, and they are not like they used to be. He and James are so strong and bully.

Ever since Sirius learned that Albert had spent money to help two friends open a store to fulfill his wish, he was ashamed of who he was and wanted to help Remus find a decent job, making his life so difficult.

If the former self could be like Albert, maybe the bad things of the year would not happen.

Although Sirius hated Peter, he also realized that they might have caused the tragedy of the year.

So naive!

He recalled more than once that if he and James had not invited Peter to join the Order of the Phoenix, maybe Peter would not have been forced to join the Death Eaters.

But there is no ever, and there is no if.

James and Lily died, and he was imprisoned for more than ten years. Peter took refuge in Voldemort again, threatening Harry's safety.

The two sides are already endless enemies.

"Sirius, the barbecue is ready." Hermione's voice came from outside, and Sirius, who had been immersed in his thoughts, suddenly recovered and gave Albert an apologetic smile.

"In two days, I will study other magazines and publications together with Remus. First, we will set a simple framework. Then we will have a chat. By the way, the name of the magazine publication is temporarily called "Guide to Defense", if you can think of it A better name would be fine." Sirius invited Albert out for barbecue.

"By the way, what is the slogan of the magazine?" Albert asked suddenly.

"The slogan of the magazine?" Sirius was a little dazed, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of the words.

"The magazine slogan of "Transfiguration Today" is to change lives." Albert reminded, "To put it bluntly, it is the positioning of this magazine."

"What do you think is appropriate?" Sirius thought it was the right thing to find Albert. Neither he nor Lu Ping had a clear idea about starting a magazine, which is why Lu Ping thought they would lose money.

"Stay away from danger and protect yourself." Albert said with a smile, "Teach everyone how to stay away from danger and how to use magic to protect yourself. You can start with spells, plants and dark creatures, just like teaching students how to defend against dark magic in class."

"Did you convince him?" Lupin listened to Albert's analysis and looked at Sirius in surprise.

"Are you really going to start a magazine publication?" Hermione was also surprised.

"Hermione can also help, publish some papers in magazines, and even learn from other journals, solicit relevant papers from all Hogwarts students, and give everyone a chance to be famous. I think many people will be willing to publish Defense Against the Dark Arts in magazines. Thesis."

"Is it really possible?" Hermione handed Albert a kebab.

"As long as the quality is not too bad, it is all right, "Transfiguration Today", "Innovation of the Curse," and "Master of Practical Potions" are all like this." Albert has written many papers, so he is very clear about these.

"It always feels not as simple as you said." Harry swallowed the food in his mouth and muttered softly.

"Have you seen the opposite?" Albert asked suddenly.

"What's that?" Everyone looked at each other, obviously they didn't know that there was this thingThe Wizarding Newspaper published by Xenoferius? Lovegood. Albert looked at Ron and said, "Perhaps, you know who Lovegood is. "

"Lovegood is near my house." Ron nodded and said, "However, we have nothing to do with them."

"How about that publication?" Hermione asked curiously.

"A word is difficult." Albert said with a weird expression: "You can get a copy and you will find that wizard publications are not as difficult as you think. As long as they contain useful content for wizards, people will be willing to buy them. In the entire British magical world, the defense against the dark arts is a mess. Even foreign students know that the defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts is notoriously bad. Thanks to the **** curse at Hogwarts. Who knows who the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be next semester?"

"Alastor Moody, a retired Auror, he is an old friend of Dumbledore." Lupin noticed that everyone was looking at him, and quickly explained, "I heard from Dumbledore. , And wrote a letter to Moody, telling him about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Dumbledore's old friend?" Albert said in a strange tone.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"That curse is not a joke." Albert's face was even more weird. "Professor Dumbledore really has the heart to let his old friends take risks. Professor Lupin, maybe you should write to that Professor Moody, Telling him about the curse and early resignation may help him escape."

"Does the curse really exist?"

"It lasted for fifty years, do you think it was a coincidence?" Albert really couldn't understand the thinking of these people.

Are they reluctant to believe it, or are they really stupid?
