034-Scheme!

"How about we increase the bet?" Malfoy clapped his hands lightly, and Crabbe and Gore behind him immediately emptied out their pockets, but only took out two gold gallons after rummaging through their pockets for a long time, the amount increased by eight silver sickles.

Seeing that his two followers were so poor, Malfoy's looked a little embarrassed, and he immediately took out four Gold Galleons from his robe and put them on the table.

"I only have three galleons, fifteen sickles, and twenty knuts." Seeing Malfoy take the bait, Ivan quickly took out all the money from his pocket.

"It doesn't matter... this is enough, then the bet is set!" Malfoy raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. He just wanted to empty out all the money that Ivan had.

If he lost, it was only four galleons, but if he wins, then Ivan will probably be struggling for a long time.

Even at Hogwarts after paying the tuition, boarding, lodging, and learning are free, but you need to spend money to buy daily necessities, materials used in classes such as making potions, gifts, snacks, and so on.

Malfoy was looking forward to seeing Ivan borrow money to get the necessities.

"Okay, then the bet is established!" as Malfoy was offering him money, Ivan didn't refuse. One more galleon would buy a lot of materials.

As for whether he would lose?

Ivan felt that the probability was very low. If he didn't take this chance and wanted to earn money quickly? It was just a pipe dream.

After successfully pitting Malfoy, Ivan felt refreshed. When the game will end, he will have seven galleons, which should be able to meet most of his needs.

"Ivan, what did you say to Malfoy just now?"

Ivan returned to the Gryffindor table and as he was in a good mood. Harry and Ron immediately asked curiously. The conversation between Ivan and Malfoy just now wasn't too loud, so they didn't hear much. Instead, they saw galleons that were put on the table and then taken away.

"It's nothing, it's just that Malfoy and I bet that Harry will catch the Golden Snitch in the game a few days from now and lead Gryffindor to victory," Ivan said.

"How can you do this? Gambling is not a good thing. What if Professor McGonagall finds out?" Hermione frowned.

"Okay, how would Professor McGonagall know if you don't tell her?" Ron opened his mouth carelessly.

Hearing what Ivan said, Ron also wanted to gamble with Malfoy.

Harry felt that the pressure on him was getting more and more unbearable...

After eating, Ivan, who was on the way to return to the bedroom, was intercepted by the Weasley brothers who suddenly appeared out of a hidden passage.

George pulled Ivan aside with a mysterious look. After looking around and seeing no one, he whispered.

"Ivan, we just accidentally heard a conversation between you and Malfoy."

"We wanted to know if you are interested in making some money with us?" Fred and George sang together.

"Cooperate? By Developing magic pranks and props?" Ivan glanced at the magic item production tab has been stuck at the same proficiency in the system bar for a long time, and suddenly became interested.

"How do you know what we were planning to develop?" George and Fred looked at each other, they were a little surprised.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ivan shrugged nonchalantly. He couldn't say that he knew their future.

"Of course not, at least we still lack the funds needed for development! we need some investment, and you are welcome to join in!" Since Ivan didn't say anything, George didn't bother to ask, and Fred said directly.

"What we mean is we want to make a bet on the next game, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

"But we lacked funds, and it was impossible to bet as a team member, so we thought of you."

After the two had finished speaking, they looked at Ivan nervously.

"You don't want to throw the match, and lose deliberately, right?" Ivan thought of a certain possibility.

"How is that possible? we are not such people!" George shouted angrily, and Fred nodded furiously.

"Besides, the Gryffindor has been losing for several years, who will bet on us to win? Fighting counterfeit matches won't make any money at all!"

Ivan's words of apology were stuck in his mouth, he thought Wood would cry if he knew what was the only thing stopping them.

George and Fred became more excited as they talked.

"We also have Harry as the trump card this time, and we will definitely be able to create a big upset. He is the best seeker I have ever seen to fly. We are set to win!"

"Yeah, when the time comes, we can still increase the odds of Slytherin winning and then lower the odds for Gryffindor. Those Slytherins will definitely pay out a large amount!"

The two people talked more and more about crooked ideas, and even wanted to buy Lee Jordan as the game commentator, and use words to add confusion to the opponent, although the guy was originally a fanatical Gryffindor, regardless of whether he charged money for the game. At the time, they would favor Gryffindor.

Ivan wiped the cold sweat from his head and suddenly felt that George shouldn't open a joke toy store in the future. Based on his business sense, he should go running the gambling scene of the Quidditch regular game.

"Okay... I agree, how many galleons do you have?" Ivan pondered for a moment he felt that there was nothing wrong with George and Fred's plan. They were only helping the Slytherin's experience the hardships of the world in advance.

"Five galleons, this is all the money we have on hand." George and Fred gritted their teeth and took out all the money they had.

"Adding it with what I have, the principal amount should be enough." Ivan nodded, and then discussed the details with the two.

Ivan groaned after a while, and then said, "However, don't tell Jordan about the gambling scheme. If this matter is exposed, he may have to be punished more severely as a commentator."

"Okay, we won't," George thought for a while and nodded cautiously.

Fred said at this moment. "We will set up secrecy magic, which will be imposed on all participants at that time. If anyone dares to breach the contract or inform the secret, they will be severely punished."

"Good Idea, the contract will be established" Ivan nodded and stretched out his right wrist.

"Well, the contract is established!" The Weasley brothers also made the same action, and then George waved his wand, and a mark was placed on the wrists of the three.

Ivan glanced at the system tab and found that there was indeed an additional variable there. The effect was that his tongue would become five times larger if he violated the contract, lasting for a full week.

Although it is not a particularly serious consequence, it should be enough to deter the students.

In fact, judging from the proud temperament of the students of Slytherin, even if they lost the bet, they will probably not choose to inform anyone even if they were angry.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ivan's mouth turned up slightly. If everything went according to plan, the galleons he needed to buy the potion ingredients should be enough.
