The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 790 Behind the scenes
The Gryffindor students were immersed in the excitement of winning the Quidditch trophy, and the common room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was talking about interesting things that happened during the game.

However, what made them even more excited was that they won the bet.

Yes, money was won.

They still made money from the dealers in Slytherin, nothing could be more gratifying to them than this.

Of course, this money is not easy to earn.

Only when the Gryffindor team takes the lead in scoring a goal, Harry successfully catches the Golden Snitch, the Gryffindor team defeats the Slytherin team, and finally wins the current Quidditch trophy, can they win The bet was won, and the bookmakers in Slytherin had to pay twice the odds for it.

"How about it?"

As soon as Kenneth returned to the common room, he was surrounded by a group of people, and everyone asked Slytherin whether he would pay back the money as scheduled.

"Unfortunately, they don't have so many Galleons to repay our debts for the time being, but I have already got back everyone's principal. The rest, Slytherin will pay back before the school holidays."

"How can this be?"

Everyone was very dissatisfied that the Slytherin students did not pay back the money they owed, and they were afraid that they would not pay back the money.

"They really don't have any money to give. After all, they lost too badly. All three colleges won, but they lost. Don't push too hard, give them some time." Kenneth is very understanding.

There is no way, the group of bankers in Slytherin really lost too badly, the kind that can't afford to take off their pants.

He estimated that Slytherin would need to pay at least a few hundred Galleons, and it would cost at least thirty or forty Galleons to distribute to the dealers. Kenneth doubted whether those guys would be able to pay the money, although those Just because someone's family is rich doesn't mean they're also rich.

"What if they don't pay back the money?" Someone still couldn't help asking, "Slytherin students have always had a low reputation. What if they cheat and don't pay back?"

"They don't dare." Kenneth sneered, "Unless they want to be targeted by students from the three colleges, and we have signed a magic contract with Slytherin, if they don't pay before the summer vacation, will pay for it.”

"What price?" Someone asked curiously.

"Temporary secrecy." Kenneth said mysteriously, "If they really breach the contract, next semester you will find that their faces are very interesting."

Kenneth dared to bet with Slytherin and those guys with extremely bad credit, so he naturally expected that this might happen, so he was prepared, otherwise, how could he be willing to accept such a bet that was so unfavorable to him?

"Say it, say it!" everyone urged.

"If you don't want the principal." Kenneth took out a list from his pocket and began to distribute everyone's principal.

"George, where's Albert?"

After distributing the principal in the bag, Kenneth walked towards the three playing wizard cards in the corner.

"He went out."

"Remember to help me return the Galleons to him." Kenneth put a small bag in front of George, "Twenty Galleons, oh yes, and this is your principal."

"Did you make a lot of money this time?" George took the bag, checked the Galleons inside, and raised his head to ask Kenneth. He felt that the guy in front of him must have made a lot of money by taking this opportunity.

"This number." Kenneth raised his hand and shook it twice.

"100 Galleons? I thought you would make a lot of money with this." George felt that he had overestimated Kenneth's greed. You must know that after they knew that Albert took out 20 Galleons to bet, they also followed Albert. Bert placed his bet.

"If that side loses too much, exceeding the limit they can bear, the other party may not pay at all, and then we will lose a lot." Kenneth naturally considered the situation that the other party cannot afford to pay.

At that time, it was not a question of offending the students of the three colleges.

Well, in fact, it was Albert who warned him that he should not be too greedy, let alone let the Slytherin people lose too much, lest they can't afford it.

In fact, most of the students just support it, and no one really spends a lot of money to gamble.Much of the money in this bet has ended up in the pockets of a select few.

For this reason, Kenneth directly tied up the interests of the three colleges, and even took out a magic contract to ensure that Slytherin would not dare to renege.

"You are really dark."

"If you think I'm black-hearted, then give up the remaining twenty Galleons." Kenneth despised the three guys in front of him very much, and he was ashamed to speak sarcasticly to him here, knowing that he had taken advantage of everything.

"Why don't you win money by gambling on your own?" Fred pouted.

The banker on the Slytherin side was clearly arranged, but in the end they didn't know who did it. The three of them are sure that even the unlucky Kenneth didn't realize that he was pushed forward to take the blame.

Well, the contract signed by the two parties has a magical effect. Even if you think about who provided that thing, you can guess it with your knees.

"You... earned 20 Galleons?" Ron felt a little dull in his chest.

"Yes, didn't you follow suit?" George couldn't understand the expression on Ron's face, and looked at Kenneth suspiciously, who shrugged with a half-smile.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione noticed Ron's strangeness.

"It's nothing." Ron turned to look at Harry and asked, "How many Galleons did you press?"

"Ten Galleons." Harry said without thinking, "I don't think we will lose, nor do I think I will lose, let alone lose."

"As expected of Harry."

"I'm just talking casually, what about you, I remember you seem to bet too!" Harry looked at Ron's slightly pale face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He gave up by himself later." Kenneth had a funny expression on his face, as if he wanted to laugh, but held back.

"Why did you give up?" Lee Jordan was a little puzzled. He actually gave up on such a steady profit?
As long as you ask around, you will know that the students of the three colleges are all betting on the outcome of the game with the dealer in Slytherin. If you dare to make such a big noise, it is naturally impossible to bet without thinking.

"Actually, I've always felt that Ron has nothing to do with money." Fred said suddenly.

"I think so too." George nodded in agreement.

"Shut up." Ron glared at the twins angrily.In fact, he also felt that he was very unlucky, why did he give up at the beginning?
It seems that Albert said that Slytherin students like to play tricks, and if they really lose the bet, they might just cheat and refuse to pay, so he went to tell Kenneth that he would not gamble, so as not to waste money left in his pocket. The little money I had was also lost.

At this moment, the door of the common room was opened, and Albert walked in.

"Where have you been?" George picked up the money bag on the table and threw it at Albert.

"Where is Hagrid? By the way, Hermione, you should be fine next Wednesday, take your Crookshanks to Hagrid's place, and let the cat help him clean up the mice in the house."

"Can't it be tomorrow?" Hermione was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why it was chosen next Wednesday.

"He needs some time to sort things out," Albert said.

As for why it is next Wednesday, it is naturally because next Wednesday is a full moon, and he is going to make arrangements for "cats, dogs, wolves and rats" in one go.
