Bagman sat on the chair, and for a moment he pretended not to be in a hurry to leave.He fanned his nostrils and let out a heavy breath: "What do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say? I'm just an ordinary student who has learned of some-"criminal" behavior, and I hope you--Mr. Ludo Bagman--Ministry of Magic Sports Director-General can come and see , Is there any solution? "Daniel smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Well, I already know... I went back to investigate - can I go now?" Bagman replied impatiently, which made Harry feel even more strange and Daniel's answer seemed to be There are some clues in it.

"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Bagman—Your business is busy, but I don't think your friends will bother you to have a drink." Daniel tapped the table with his fingertips, and when his voice fell In the next second, Harry heard the sound of footsteps. It was the female proprietress of the tavern, with three glasses of drinks on the tray on her arm.

"Well... no need." Bagman said, standing up, and gave Harry a last disappointed look, "no, thank you, child..."

"Then why not just put it here." Daniel continued calmly, motioning the boss to put the drink in front of them, and looked at Bagman again: "What? You haven't left yet?"

Bagman looked at his expression of "Since you said you don't want to drink, then stop drinking and leave quickly. What are you still doing here? Didn't you see that Harry waited for his friends for a long time?" The good face shook again and again, turned around and left.

He didn't even say goodbye.

Daniel snorted lightly: "It's really rude."

Seeing Bagman staggering from behind, Harry quickened his pace and hurried out of the tavern.The goblins all got up from their chairs and followed him out.

Hermione and Ron sat back impatiently.

"What does he want?" Ron asked impatiently as soon as they sat down.

"He offered to help me unlock the secret of the golden egg." Harry answered honestly.

"He shouldn't have done that!" said Hermione, looking quite shocked. "He's one of the referees! And, you've figured it out yourself - haven't you?"

"Well... more or less," said Harry.

"Hmph, I think if Dumbledore knows that Bagman is trying to persuade you to cheat, he will be very upset!" said Hermione, still with a disapproving expression, "I hope he also provides Cedric with Same help!"

"He didn't, I asked," said Harry.

"We don't care if Cedric gets help," said Ron, and Harry secretly agreed.

"Daniel..." Hermione said, "I saw you come in just now."

"It's nothing too important." Daniel smiled, pushed the apple juice in front of him to the three children, and looked at them with his chin in his hands.

Harry had to explain it to Hermione and Ron himself.

Hermione immediately grasped the point: "Daniel, you never spread rumors—what you say is the truth, and I believe what you say has some meaning, so..."

Daniel tilted his head and smiled: "You can guess."

"I think you're implying something illegal to Mr. Bagman?" Ron guessed.

"Is Mr. Bagman involved in gambling?" Harry asked unexpectedly.

Those goblins don't look very friendly, are those his friends?I don't think so, they stared at Mr. Bagman as closely as they stared at their own son. said Hermione, sipping apple juice, "what are they doing here?" "

"According to Bagman, looking for Crouch," Harry answered her.

Daniel didn't want to whet their appetite any more, and said simply and neatly: "Ludo Bagman, a very popular batsman in the Wimbledon Hornets in the 80s. Later, the Quidditch After his career with Odd, he joined the Department of Sports and Sports at the Ministry of Magic, eventually becoming its Director in 1993."

"He had a bad habit of gambling, and it was this habit that led to his bankruptcy. Many people can see from Bagman's daily behavior that he has been poisoned, but he still has no repentance. The goblins borrow money to fill the financial holes, and they want to make a comeback." Daniel sneered: "Classic gambler psychology."

"When the bets were lost, he used the money to pay the winners. Sometimes, he also used goblin gold coins to pay off some goblins who had lent him money and he never paid back. After the World Cup For a while, he disappeared for a while, because those angry creditors would tear him to pieces. His last big bet was at the Triwizard Tournament. He made a bet. He won some money for it, which fueled his enthusiasm to continue gambling."

"And now, in order to seek greater benefits, he is trying to use his position in the Triwizard Tournament to influence the outcome of the game-the most convenient way at present is to reveal the answer to the warrior who is least likely to win the prize, Harry... Potter even directly helped him through the game to get Galleons worth several times his own value."

Harry, Ron and Hermione were dumbfounded.

They had thought of this hypothesis, but they hadn't imagined that Ludo Bagman was an unrepentant gambling addict.

Obviously acting so kind, but trying to use Harry to do this kind of thing.

"Oh! Excuse me!" Daniel suddenly broke the silence. He stretched out his hand to call Ms. Rosmerta: "Can you give me an unused glass bottle... the one you don't need."

"Of course." Harry had never seen Ms. Rosmerta smile so brightly: "It's just what are you going to do, Daniel?" Her fingers caressed Daniel's delicate cheeks, looking like she couldn't put it down.

"You won't want to know, but if you do, I can tell you later."

Ms. Rosmerta giggled, called him "little slick," and brought him another ordinary little bottle.

Daniel smiled, his fingers fluttered, and his wand appeared in his hand: "Colloportus! (Quickly imprison)"

There was a flash of light in the big flowerpot behind Ron, and a small thing flew over and flew directly into the bottle in Daniel's hand: "Okay, I caught it."

"What's that?" Ron asked curiously.

"It's just a beetle." Daniel unscrewed the cap nonchalantly, ignoring the beetle's struggle in the bottle: "It looks a bit interesting."

Harry took a closer look at the beetle. It was tumbling frantically back and forth in the bottle, but the spectacle-like pattern on its back was still conspicuous.

The author has something to say:

Catch beetles of course to feed chickens (no)
