At noon, Ludo Bagman appeared in the auditorium.

In the British wizarding world, Ludo is also famous.

He is the best batsman of all time for the Wimbourne Hornets and played for England at the World Cup more than a decade ago.

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

Although it has the smell of putting gold on his face, it is enough to explain Ludo's historical status and the terrible influence of those years.

At least in the British batsman position, he can be ranked in the top five all-time.

Even fanatical fans can shamelessly shout extreme slogans such as sitting on two and looking at one.

His only weakness is that he doesn't have the bonus of winning the Quidditch World Cup. This has a significant impact on the historical rankings.

So there has always been gossip that Ludo is coming back to play.

If you can't win the championship, there is no way, even the United Kingdom has been circulating a saying:

Whoever can lead the LinkedIn Glen Quidditch national team to the World Cup will be 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 has already been led, and the England national team is far from winning the championship...... There are still n five-year plans left.

Therefore, "the contemporary Ludo Bagman" is not a very good nickname, but more like a curse.

Isn't it implied that Ludo never won a World Cup in his life...... Krum...... My brother Kezi is also without a crown for life?

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

However, it has nothing to do with Ludo, who wishes that the young star would be touted by the media as his successor.

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

Isn't the historical status consolidated by recalling and killing over and over again and touting from all walks of life?

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 debts in public, and he would not be able to get off the stage.

William looked up and looked around slightly.

said that he was discussing the right to hold the Triwizard Tournament, but he didn't see Judy Crouch's uncle...... Barty Crouch.

Barty Sr. is the Minister of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, and this kind of transnational event, logically speaking, must be jointly organized by him and Ludo.

This is also understandable, the old Barty still has to focus on the construction of the World Cup venue, and he can't take care of this kind of small campus activities for the time being.

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

Quidditch's safety is a thankless task.

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

There was no accident, the face and the inside were Fudge's; Something happened, and that was the great responsibility of Barty, the head of the communications department.

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

A group of students followed, ready to watch strongly.

Ludo was already fat, and his robe was tight on his big belly.

Once an athlete leaves the arena and does not have a strong amount of exercise and a self-disciplined diet, his body will quickly become out of shape.

Ludo's nose was flattened, presumably broken by a 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 mutters about you at home every day, and my ears are almost calloused."

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

This cannot be false, in recent years, William's reputation has been too great.

It's the Merlin Medal again, and it's the Medal of Valor...... Even the products of Akali Mystery Shop continue to sell well.

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

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

He and Hermione, who suddenly became famous last summer, are known as the Hogwarts genius twin stars, and they are also the official designated CP of the Ministry of Magic.

As for whether the two will be together, whether they are a couple or not...... Then they don't.

Just go up the heat.

The old marketing number.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Bertha?" Ludo walked and jumped as if he had a spring under his feet.

William nodded helplessly. "Well, she and I met at the Merlin Medal ceremony."

Bertha is not good at this, she has a big mouth. It's nice to have her snooping on the news, but she's going to leak secrets herself.

For example, she likes to show off, consciously or unconsciously, that she and the famous Stark are good friends.

So the news that William exchanged with her was basically the kind of thing that was about to be announced.

She just knew about it a few days in advance, and it didn't hurt to leak it out.

"Yes, Merlin Medal Ceremony...... At the time, Bertha was still working under Barty. "Ludo is almost.

Over the years, Bertha has arguably the fastest transfer of staff in the Ministry of Magic.

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

She gets into more trouble than she does.

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

"I'm going to give my colleagues in the Sports Division a few days off before the World Cup." Ludo said softly.

"Everybody has been tired lately, and I've heard Bertha say she's going on a trip to Albania."

"Holiday before the start of the World Cup? There shouldn't be enough manpower right now, right? William frowned.

"Of course enough, we've been busy all year, and we've been busy all year now, and we're getting to the end of it.

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

Of course, Barty's communications department may be busy. I'll ask my staff to come back before the game. ”

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

Forget about traveling at public expense, after Quidditch, how do you want to travel, do you have to give everyone a holiday before the game?

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

Or is Ludo's sudden vacation a stumbling block for Barty Crouch?

Fudge and Crouch were old political enemies, and they competed together for the post of Minister of Magic.

It is also possible that Fudge deliberately hinted that Ludo was stumbling.

This will not have a substantial impact, as the Quidditch field is already in its final stages.

The people of the sports department go on vacation, and it is nothing more than that Crouch will be a lot busy.

This is purely for the purpose of deliberately disgusting people.

Think about it, the colleagues in the department next door have all gone to the public-funded team building, and their communication department is still working overtime?

Everyone will definitely complain about their boss Crouch in private.

"By the way, William, are you interested in joining the Hornets? You'll be the same as Krum......

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

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

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

As long as you're willing to join the Hornets, I can guarantee that the club owners will use you as the absolute core to rebuild a galactic battleship. ”

“……”

As we all know, all the teams that claim to be Galaxy Battleships will disintegrate halfway through.

"I'll think about it, sir." William did not directly refuse.

"Of course, you have to think about it." Ludo said with a smile.

William is really thinking about whether to ...... Acquisition of the Hornets.

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

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

"The Irish national team."

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

"Want to make a bet on the game?"

"Professor McGonagall doesn't allow me to gamble." William smiled and declined.

Ludo's face immediately became embarrassed. "Minerva...... She...... That makes sense...... However, it's a small bet. ”

At first glance, he looks like an old gambling dog, and he is still the kind of leek who is treated as a leek. Otherwise, you won't be in debt.

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

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

"Before the game, each player will be tested with a truth agent to make sure that no one takes bribes." Ludo patted William on the shoulder.

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

Otherwise, those goblins who pick the door will not gamble with us. ”

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

"Of course, kid." Ludo laughed: "Those goblins, it's amazing to gamble on the ball.

The elves don't just stay in Gringotts and count the gold, they love this kind of entertainment. ”

"And what about their credibility?"

"It's good, there's no default. They are all worth a lot of money, and they will not pay their debts, otherwise it will be a fatal blow to Gringotts' reputation. ”

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

"Huh?"

"I'm not betting with you, I'm going to play with those goblins." A special look appeared on William's face.

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

"It's a small bet, the first game, let's have five thousand Galleons first."

"Five thousand...... How much?! Ludo's eyes widened and he plucked out his ears to prevent himself from hearing misdirection.

The students were all staring at Ludo, and William seemed to be shocked by what he had said.

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

Stark is really rich!

The Order of Merlin and the compensation given by France add up to more than 10,000 Galleons.

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

What a young man!

William didn't pay attention to Ludo, but was thinking carefully about how to maximize the benefits and cut a wave of leeks.

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

And Nicol was able to prophesy about the future and see part of the picture. Seeing the results of each game in advance makes it easier to win.

As long as there is no match-fixing, William can uproot this group of goblin leeks!

He is not gambling at all, but grabbing money with open fire.

Drop, gambling king card!

Money to buy a club...... Coming soon!

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

How can I convince her...... Give money too.
