At noon, Ludo Bagman appeared in the auditorium.

In the British wizarding world, Ludo is also well-known.

He's the best batsman of all time for the Wimbourne Hornets and, more than a decade ago, represented England in the World Cup.

The Bulgarian star Krum, who is currently in the limelight, was named the contemporary Ludo Bagman by the British "Daily Prophet".

Although there is a taste of putting gold on his face, it is enough to explain Ludo's historical status and the terrible influence of that year.

At least in the British batsman position, he can be ranked in the top five in history.

Even the fanatical fans can shamelessly call out the extreme port number of sitting down and looking at one.

His only shortcoming is that he doesn't have the Quidditch World Cup winning bonus. This greatly affects the historical rankings.

Therefore, there has always been gossip that Ludo is going to return to play.

There is no way to win the championship. Even the UK has been circulating a saying:

Who can lead the England Quidditch national team to win the World Cup, who is the savior of England!

The difficulty can be seen from this, even more difficult than destroying Voldemort!

After all, in the eyes of the public, Voldemort is already a dog, and the England national team is still a five-year plan away from winning the championship.

So, "Contemporary Ludo Bagman" is not a very good nickname, more like a curse.

Ludo has never won a World Cup in his life, doesn't this imply... Krum... My brother Kezi also won't have a championship in his life?

This year's Bulgarian team... gone? !

However, this has nothing to do with Ludo. He is eager for young stars to be blown up by the media as his successor.

In this way, everyone can remember him and not get angry too early.

Isn't the historical position consolidated by reminiscing over and over again and boasting in various ways?

When Ludo appeared in the auditorium, he was warmly welcomed by the students.

Instead of sitting next to Dumbledore, he sat on Hagrid's side, away from Professor McGonagall.

Obviously, he was also afraid that Professor McGonagall would ask for a debt in public, so that he would not be able to step down from the stage.

William raised his head and looked around slightly.

Said to be negotiating the right to hold the Triwizard Tournament, but did not see Judy Crouch's uncle... Barty Crouch.

Old Barty is the head of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department. Logically speaking, he and Ludo must co-organize this kind of transnational event.

It is understandable that the old Batty still has to keep an eye on the construction of the World Cup venue, and temporarily ignore such small campus activities.

It can only be said that old Batty is a bit miserable.

Quidditch security is a totally thankless job.

Minister Fudge, an old political enemy, did not hesitate at all, and assigned all the tasks to Barty.

If there is no accident, the face and the lining are all Fudge's; if there is an accident, that is the great responsibility of Batty, the Minister of Communication.

After eating, Ludo stood up, greeted William, and walked towards the Quidditch pitch.

A group of students followed behind, preparing for a strong onlooker.

Ludo was already fat, and his robe was stretched tightly around his belly.

Once an athlete leaves the field, without a strong amount of exercise and self-disciplined diet, the body will quickly become out of shape.

Ludo's nose was flat and slumped, probably broken by the Bludger.

His round blue eyes, short blond hair, and flushed face made him look like an oversized boy.

"William, I'm a big fan of you. My niece mumbles about you every day at home, and my ears are almost full of calluses."

Ludo happily took out a pen and paper and asked him to sign.

This can't be false. In recent years, William's reputation has been too great.

Another Merlin Medal, another Valor Medal... Even the products of the Akali Mystery Shop are still selling well.

Just like Dumbledore's fans, all over the world.

Anyway, Britain spared no effort to tout William, trying to make him take over Dumbledore's reputation.

He and Hermione, who suddenly became famous last summer, are known as Hogwarts genius twins, and they are also officially designated CPs by the Ministry of Magic.

As for whether the two will be together, whether they are lovers...then they don't care.

Just get the heat up.

Old marketing number.

"I heard that you and Bertha have a very good relationship?" Ludo walked and jumped, as if there were springs under his feet.

William nodded helplessly. "It's okay, I met her at the Merlin Medal award ceremony."

Bertha is not good at this. She has a big mouth. It is very useful to let her snoop on the news, but she will leak secrets herself.

For example, she likes to show off that she and the famous Stark are good friends, intentionally or not.

So the information William exchanged to her is basically the kind of things that are about to be announced.

She just knew it a few days in advance, and it doesn't matter if she leaks it out.

"Yeah, the Merlin Medal Award Ceremony... At that time, Bertha was still working under Barty." Ludo approached.

Bertha has been arguably the fastest-moving staff member at the Ministry of Magic over the years.

She was driven from one department to another, not only because of her bad memory, but also because of that broken mouth that likes to gossip.

She caused more trouble than she did.

Now, Bertha is working under Ludo, and he seems to like her.

"I'm going to give my colleagues in the sports department a few days off before the World Cup starts," Ludo said softly.

"Everyone is exhausted recently. I heard Bertha say she is going on a trip to Albania."

"A holiday before the start of the World Cup? Shouldn't there be enough manpower now?" William frowned.

"Certainly enough, we've been busy all year, from last summer until now, and we've come to the end.

Everyone is tired, it's time to rest for a few days.

Of course, Barty's communication department may be a little busy. I'll have my staff come back before the game. "

"..." William found that Ludo was really unreliable.

Traveling with public funds doesn’t matter. After Quidditch is over, how do you want to travel? You have to give everyone a vacation before the game?

If he hadn't been a star, he wouldn't be in this position at all.

In other words, Ludo's sudden vacation was a stumbling block for Barty Crouch?

Fudge and Crouch are longtime political enemies, competing for the job of Minister of Magic together.

It's also possible that Fudge deliberately hinted that Ludo stumbled.

This will not have a substantial impact, because the Quidditch field has reached the final stage.

When the people from the sports department go on vacation, it is nothing more than that Crouch will be very busy.

This is purely to deliberately disgusting people.

Think about it, the colleagues in the company next door have gone to the public funded group to build, and their communication department is still working overtime?

Everyone is sure to complain privately about their boss, Crouch.

"By the way, Willian, are you interested in joining the Hornets? You'll be like Krum...

Oh, of course you're more famous than he is now, but I know... you love Quidditch and play so well.

I dare say that even the current Krum can't be much stronger than you.

You're only fourteen now, don't waste your talent.

As long as you are willing to join the Hornets, I can guarantee that the owner of the club will rebuild a galactic battleship with you as the absolute core. "

"..."

As we all know, all the so-called galactic battleship teams will disintegrate in the middle.

"I'll consider it, sir." William didn't directly refuse.

"Of course, you must seriously consider it." Ludo said with a smile.

Willian is really considering whether to... buy the Hornets.

Although the money is not enough now, it will definitely be enough when you graduate.

"Which team are you optimistic about this year, William?" Ludo asked again.

"Irish national team."

"Well, they are really strong." Ludo shook his pockets and laughed.

"Want to bet on the game?"

"Professor McGonagall doesn't allow me to gamble." William refused with a smile.

Ludo's face immediately became embarrassed. "Minerva...she...is justified...but, it's a small bet on happiness."

At first glance, he looks like an old gambling dog, or the kind that people treat as leeks. Otherwise you won't be in debt.

William couldn't help but wonder: "Is there a fake match in the World Cup?"

"Of course not." Ludo patted his belly confidently.

"Before the game, every player will be tested with Veritaserum to ensure that no one accepts bribes." Ludo patted William on the shoulder.

"The Quidditch World Cup has no bookmakers, no match-fixing, absolutely fair and just.

Otherwise, those stingy goblins wouldn't bet against us. "

"Goblins also participate in gambling?" William was really surprised.

"Of course, child." Ludo laughed: "Those fairies, betting on the ball, it's amazing.

Goblins don't just stay in Gringotts and count gold, they love the entertainment. "

"And what's their reputation?"

"Very good. There has been no default. They are all wealthy, and they will not default. Otherwise, it will be a fatal blow to Gringotts' reputation."

William was thoughtful, and he suddenly smiled: "I bet."

"Um?"

"I'm not betting with you, I'm going to play with those fairies." William's face showed a special look.

"Oh yes, how much are you going to bet?" Ludo asked.

"It's a small bet on happiness, let's get five thousand Galleons for the first game."

"Five thousand... how much?!" Ludo's eyes widened, and he scratched his ears to prevent himself from misunderstanding.

The students were all staring at Ludo, and William seemed to say something that shocked him.

Ludo was indeed shocked. His salary for several years did not add up to five thousand Galleons! !

Stark is indeed rich!

The Merlin Medal and the compensation from France add up to more than 10,000 Galleons.

Lu Duo Lu Ziguang, also heard that the Gringotts incident three years ago, the goblins suffered a dull loss and lost a lot of money.

How much gold is so young!

William ignored Ludo~lightnovelpub.net~ but was thinking carefully about how to maximize the benefits and cut a wave of leeks.

Gambling is legal in the magical world, and if a contract is made, there will be legal protection.

And Nico was able to predict the future and see part of the picture. Seeing the results of each game ahead of time makes it easier to win.

As long as there is no fake match, William can uproot these goblins and leeks!

He is not gambling at all, but stubbornly grabbing money in an open flame.

Drop, Gambler Card!

Money to buy the club... coming soon!

The only problem was that the key to the vault was with Hermione.

How can I convince her... to give me money.

...
