Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 259 Professor McGonagall’s Face Changing Art

As she stood up and prepared to leave the box on the top floor, Harry could still hear Fudge's angry yelling.

The British Minister of Magic couldn't help but be angry. He had spent 50,000 gold galleons on the England team!

At the time, he thought it was free money. Who can resist this temptation?

As a result, now, the facts tell him that the England team lost, and the loss was so ugly...

Fudge's heart is broken!

"Take them into Azkaban!" When she opened the door, Harley clearly heard Fudge's angry shouts.

He didn't even care that there were several high-ranking officials sitting next to him, as well as the Minister of Magic and several officials from Transylvania.

Of course, the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic did not dare to interfere in the internal affairs of the British Ministry of Magic, and the senior officials of the British Ministry of Magic also maintained the same opinion as Fudge.

After all, these gambling dogs also spent a lot of gold Galleons on the England team! They hate England now!

But in the end, Fudge found a reasonably reasonable reason for his order:

"...I mean send them to Azkaban for protection! Otherwise, I'm afraid these stupid players will be beaten to death by our fans!"

…………

After returning to their tent, the four of them gathered around the table and enjoyed the dinner prepared by Kreacher.

After bringing back Regulus' body, Sirius almost completely reconciled with Kreacher and the old mother on his wall.

As long as Sirius doesn't mess with the Black family, his old mother basically doesn't care about anything.

Seeing the attitude of his old mistress, Kreacher also agreed and started to pay more attention to Master Sirius.

"The England team is really embarrassed!" Professor McGonagall said angrily while eating fresh kidney pie.

"The last time they were beaten so badly was when they played against the Vietnamese team in a training match, and the last time they were beaten so badly was when they played against the Myanmar team in a training match..."

The more Professor McGonagall talked, the more she felt something was wrong.

She suddenly discovered that these England players seemed to have never won a single open training match on record!

what's the situation? What about the 17th consecutive victory in the training matches that was promised? Void training match? Or are you looking for Muggles to play in a training match?

"Yeah, it's really terrible." Sirius nodded with deep feeling.

"Fortunately, I listened to Harley and didn't beat the England team, but the Transylvania team..."

Only then did Sirius realize what he had said, but he could no longer take it back.

Professor McGonagall's eyes suddenly became sharp, like sharp knives:

"Sirius? What did you - just - say?"

"I-it seems-didn't-hear-clearly!"

Professor McGonagall was smiling, and her voice was full of pressure as she paused.

Sirius jerked his head back in fear, as if a husky had been caught stealing food.

Under Professor McGonagall's continuous questioning, Sirius finally spoke about his gambling with Harry.

He also emphasized that it was only after he heard Harley say that she could do divination that he got Harley involved, and took the responsibility entirely on himself.

Professor McGonagall gave him an angry look:

"Take your underage goddaughter to gamble on football! You are really capable, Sirius!"

"I taught Harry and Hermione who are so obedient and well-behaved!"

"And you gambled so much money! It's okay if you win, but what if you lose? That's all Harley has!"

"Wait a minute, you have graduated, so I am not qualified to teach you a lesson, but I must file a complaint with Old Principal Black!"

Then Professor McGonagall suddenly changed her face and rubbed Harry's head lovingly:

"Well done, Harry, I didn't expect you to have such a talent. You are much better than Sybil!"

"Hehe." Harry squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly, making Hermione's eyes widen across the table.

If only we were in the bedroom now! Hermione couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Harry also sighed from the bottom of his heart that Professor Trelawney was extremely good at skateboarding, Professor Snape was the best in the school for his eccentricity towards other students, and Professor McGonagall was the master of face-changing skills.

Sure enough, the professors at Hogwarts are all bosses with many skills but no need to overwhelm them!

Sirius saw that Professor McGonagall was no longer so angry, so he cautiously asked:

"So when are we going to go to the goblin to get the money? It's a full eight million gold galleons!"

"Now, I'll go with you." Professor McGonagall took her hand back from Harry's head.

"The camp is in chaos right now, and I don't trust you with your two children alone. With your character and your magic level!"

After saying that, Professor McGonagall sighed forcefully again and shook her head sharply.

Sirius coughed twice, not daring to talk back at all, but chose not to answer.

On the way to Gringotts Casino, the camp was filled with demons.

Fireworks exploded in the sky, bottles flew everywhere, and the smell of whiskey and vodka filled the air.

Before the game, the fans of the England team danced really hard, praising the England team and belittling other teams.

Now it's green garlic time, and the England team is so embarrassed that they naturally attract siege from other members of Bulk Britain.

What? The Ministry of Magic stipulates that civil war is not allowed during the World Cup? Which rule?

Especially in Scotland and Wales, teams from both regions failed to advance and received the most ridicule from England fans.

In today's fights, they are the hardest hit!

It’s finally time to make green garlic, so of course I want to make green garlic!

The Aurors seemed to be patrolling the camp, but in fact they were not doing anything at all.

There are so many high-ranking fans in the camp now, what do you do with yourself? I'm afraid that if I take action, I will be beaten by a group of people.

Besides, they also understand the fans' mood very well, and even hate the England team's garbage performance more than these fans!

When the Ministry of Magic held the England players in protective custody, many Aurors made an agreement with the colleagues who were assigned to escort the players. They must kick those losers hard for them!

It was relatively quiet outside the small camp in Gringotts.

The wizards are all going crazy in their own camps, and they have basically lost in gambling, and will not consider running here at all.

The four people swaggered across the two tables responsible for registering the names of punters and knocked on the backstage door.

There was a burst of noise inside, and then a young goblin timidly poked his head out:

"Who is it...Mr. Black...Professor McGonagall...Miss Potter...Miss Granger..."

The young goblin's voice became quieter and quieter, until finally it was no more loud than the noise made by mosquitoes.

"...Good evening, what can I do for you?"

"Of course I'm here to settle the matter!" Sirius held up the magic contract he kept in his hand.

"What? Gringotts wants to default on its debt?"

The young goblin had a grimace on his face and didn't dare to answer the conversation. He just turned around and winked at the room.

After a while, it timidly said: "Of course... not. Please come in, distinguished guests."

With that said, the young goblin opened the door completely and led the four people all the way to the reception room in the morning.

A strange old goblin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The hand holding the contract kept shaking, as if he wanted to tear the paper contract into pieces.

At that time, they believed that Sirius and Harley were their lucky stars, directly helping Gringotts' gambling turn around.

But now it seems that they are simply at a loss! All the proceeds from betting on the England team would not be enough to fill the hole!

However, the old goblin still experienced many big scenes and restrained his desires.

After all, the contract had extremely harsh conditions, and the magic power had been integrated into the goblin's bloodline.

Even if he tears up the contract, the magic power in the goblin bloodline will not disappear, and he will even be punished for destroying the contract carrier.

This is a magic contract brought out by the goblins, and they naturally know how powerful it is.

After seeing the four people, the old goblin seemed to have given up struggling and sat slumped on the sofa:

"Congratulations, Mr. Black and Miss Potter, you two won the bet!"

"According to our agreement and the constraints of the magical contract, Gringotts should deliver to you...eight million gold galleons."

The old goblin trembled and said a number that made it feel bitter. The punishment imposed on it by Gringotts headquarters had already appeared in its mind.

Losing the position as the head of the Gringotts branch in the UK is only the lightest punishment. It is very likely to lose all its property and life.

After all, although the laws of the Ministry of Magic of various countries can manage goblins, they cannot interfere with the implementation of racial laws within goblins.

"Let's just transfer the cash to Erbit's vault in proportion."

The old goblin suppressed the trembling in his heart and said in as calm a voice as possible,

"The Potter family's treasury should be transferred to two million gold galleons, while the Black family's treasury should be transferred to six million gold galleons."

"Wait." Harley suddenly said,

"We negotiated some conditions at that time, and we could exchange the gold galleons for customized magic items made by goblins."

"I just want to place some orders now."

The old goblin, whose eyes were already dull, instantly raised his head, hope rekindled on his face.

…………

After intense negotiations, Harley customized many top-notch magic items for herself.

Several of them were prepared for him to better use his extraordinary abilities.

The remaining magic items were ordered by Harry because he wanted to study the technology of goblins in making magic items.

For this batch of items, Harley spent all the two million gold galleons she had just won.

The old goblin also seemed very happy, after all, he saved so many gold galleons in one go.

Although it costs money to create goblin items, the more precious thing is the cost of the work.

Each branch of Gringotts has a loss quota every year, and the magic items created for Harley can be used to fill this loss quota.

In addition to filling in other miscellaneous expenses, maybe I won't even lose my position as the head of Gringotts in the UK!

After both parties reached a satisfactory result, Sirius and his party happily left Gringotts.

Watching the four people leaving, the old goblin wiped away a cold sweat and ordered the subordinates around him:

"Next time you see Potter and Black placing bets...forget it. When you see large sums of more than 10,000 being placed in the future, you must be cautious! You must report to me in advance!"

"I finally understand what the human wizard said - the Quaffle is round, so anything is possible!"

"By the way, call the idiot in charge of signing over here. He will be fully responsible!"

The young goblin beside him nodded and trotted out of the room.

The outside world is cleaning up the outside of the camp, and Gringotts is also starting to clean up inside, looking for the scapegoat who took the blame.

…………

Harry didn't know how powerful his divination skills had brought to the old goblin and Gringotts.

Of course, she wasn't going to make another fortune.

Today's game has the highest odds in the entire World Cup, and it is enough to make this money.

Although his two million Galleons were spent on the spot, Sirius patted his chest and said that as long as it was necessary to learn potions or alchemy, he would bear all the expenses.

"You are my goddaughter, the child of James and Lily. You don't need to use snot at all...the materials provided by Snape!"

Sirius said loudly, his whole person filled with indifference to the assets of the Black family.

In the next few days, the game continued normally, but there was no such upset again.

The only thing that upset the English wizard was that England's loss to Transylvania was not an accident.

The players who had just returned from Azkaban seemed to be eager to return to that warm place, so they committed various criminal operations on the field.

They directly became a bonus for the entire team. Whoever they beat would be beaten by a big score.

It seems that Transylvania showed mercy, at least the goalkeeper deliberately ran a little further, allowing England's pursuer to score a goal.

Fans of the England team immediately turned from fans to haters, and have remained hardcore fans for two and a half years.

Some fans of the England team even said angrily that the reason England was able to enter the World Cup was definitely because of the host country's advantage!

Otherwise, this group of losers might not even be able to make it into the qualifiers!

Harley did not continue to pay attention to the stupid performance of the England team.

Every time she went on stage to watch a game, she would quietly turn her attention to Peter Pettigrew.

Under Harley's monitoring, Peter Pettigrew has successfully contacted his old master.

To Harry's surprise, Voldemort was much stronger than she imagined, but the soul fragment attached to a snake carried a curse from the unicorn deep inside.

It seems that the unicorn blood that Quirrell drank for Voldemort in his first year helped him survive a lot.
