HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Rita Skeeter counts galleons in her ostentatiously decorated house.

She lay half-lying on the desk and piled ten gold galleons on the table into a column.

I did make a lot of money in the Gringotts gambling game of the Triwizard Tournament.

Especially in the second round of betting on rankings, every warrior was in the right order, which was incredible.

Merlin, why didn't you think of this way of making money earlier?

Rita Skeeter used her fingers to touch her new tortoiseshell glasses that were about to slide off. She looked at the golden galleons in front of her. She was very satisfied with her master.

Rita Skeeter and Lycoris had different sources of gold galleons.

The 500 gold Galleons that Liklis gave to Rita Skeeter for gambling was her pocket money plus the shopping expenses her father gave her before going to Hogsmeade. It was the money she had saved over the years.

Rita Skeeter's capital came from the remaining savings. Although it was not enough, it happened to be a new royalties.

She was extremely lucky to win the bet.

In fact, she had complicated feelings for Lycoris. At first, she was just afraid that if she revealed that she was an unregistered Animagus, she would be threatened and have to obey her arrangements.

From "help me bet a few games by the way" to "must stay in the hospital wing during the third level of the Triwizard Tournament".

Rita Skeeter was not convinced. Who didn't know that the most important thing about the Triwizard Tournament was to watch the whole process? I even bought her first!

If you let me stay in the hospital wing, what can the hospital wing have?

Is it possible that I have to squat there to see how many students fell down and broke their legs because they were so excited about watching the game?

Unexpectedly, Rita Skeeter heard about such a secret event.

After everyone was gone, only Cedric Diggory, Harry Potter, and the annoying former Auror were left sleeping in the hospital bed.

A beetle crawled out from under the unused hospital bed in the innermost room. When Rita Skeeter went to Slytherin to find its owner, she thought she was so wise.

This breaking news is enough to increase his reputation in the newspaper and magazine industry by several degrees.

The frequency of the beetle's wing beats reveals happiness, and its flight path is crooked.

Rita Skeeter was convinced and decided to listen to her.

In other words, truly surrender to her.

While helping Lycoris gamble money at Gringotts, an idea suddenly came to Rita Skeeter's mind.

If she can help me win money, then that means following her is the right thing to do.

But Rita Skeeter didn't buy according to her buying method. In Rita Skeeter's heart, since Lycoris participated in the game, she definitely wanted to win.

She also thought that if Licoris wanted to win, she would definitely win, so why buy Harry Potter?

Maybe there is some plan to confuse someone?

If she has the guts to pay 500 gold galleons for a ring, she won't accompany her.

Rita Skeeter bought odds that were different from Lycoris's. If she allowed herself to win money, it meant that she was blessed by Merlin.

People who can bring wealth to themselves are noble people.

Rita Skeeter never thought that with this gamble, she would bet her entire career and her entire life.

Fortunately, she had good luck in gambling.

After Licris finished talking to Rita Skeeter, she looked down and watched the beetle fly away.

She closed the door and...

Smiling so happily and getting rich!

Two hundred thousand gold galleons!

Licolis threw herself onto the bed, making the bed vibrate.

I knew that the Weasley twins would find people to gamble with, so there must be an "official" casino.

There was no way to get out of Hogwart by myself, so I had to find someone for help.

Apart from the professors, Lycoris could only think of two people who could successfully enter and leave Hogwarts during non-school hours, Lucius Malfoy and the nailbug.

The former often makes trouble for Dumbledore, and it is not convenient for him to contact him. If he tells him that he wants to buy the first place in the Harry Potter Triwizard Tournament, he will be angry to death, right?

My little boyfriend will be angry if he finds out.

And my father didn’t have an easy time with this either.

When I told my dad I wanted to gamble.

The problem might not be big. He would probably just glance at me coldly, and then say coldly, "Don't cry at the loss."

But if you want to tell him, the bet is that Harry Potter wins the first place in the Triwizard Tournament.

I couldn't even imagine how embarrassing that scene would be.

Gambling is something that is very difficult to quit.

If you win, you want to win more. I lost and wanted my money back.

The real winner is the banker.

Look at those goblins in Gringotts who are full of gold and silver wealth. I won 250,000 gold galleons, and they deducted a commission of 50,000.

Licolis felt a burst of heartache, but there was nothing she could do about it.

The girl lay on the bed, poured out all the gold Galleons, and finally a key fell out.

Lycoris held the key and looked closer.

I don’t know what kind of metal this key is made of. Maybe it was made by a goblin using goblin magic?

There was a flower on the key handle that looked exactly like the badge Draco had made for himself.

Did Rita Skeeter use her badge to open an account? Quite innovative.

Licoris raised her eyebrows and tossed it around.

As far as she knew, you had to be an adult to open an account in Gringotts, and minors could only receive family property.

For example, Harry Potter can easily receive the Potter family's money, a vault full of gold galleons.

Now I only have 200,000 gold galleons, oh, no.

Licoris looked at the pile on the bed and saw that her treasury only amounted to 199,000 gold galleons.

Not enough, far from enough.
