Hogwarts Asylum

Chapter 6 Let me give you a warning first



On the train, the little wizards were all a little curious about this tall adult wizard who was very attractive just by his appearance as he walked down the aisle.

Because the passengers on this train are usually only students, few professors will appear here. They all have a faster way to go to Hogwarts - the Floo Network, and this person has not been seen before.

One Gryffindor student even started betting on whether the gray wizard would be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Due to some rumors that could only be circulated in private, everyone knew that there would be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, so people who placed bets basically spent all their money. This was a sure profit. A no-compensation deal!

The same goes for the Weasley twins. The two of them pieced together a total of 1 galleons!They exchanged this for some small toys that may not meet the requirements of school regulations.

The banker at the opening was collecting money and writing notes at the same time, which made him really busy, so he shouted loudly: "Queue! Queue! Come one by one! Damn it! You can't pay so much! I will lose money." !”

In fact, this guy is a dark-hearted bastard. He is secretly happy because he has known for a long time that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Professor Quirrell, who was previously in charge of Muggle Studies. Galleon's acting skills are outstanding as he refuses to welcome those who place bets for the unit.

People who knew about it in advance like him did not place bets or make any announcement, not because they have good character and do not gamble, but because they are waiting for the people who press "yes" to press more, so that they can Get a bigger report.

These well-informed people were scattered throughout the carriage. Each of them crossed their arms and looked at the crowd of people not far away. After discovering that someone had the same idea as themselves, the same idea emerged in their hearts: This The damn guy is going to get a share of my money!

When more and more gambling dogs had placed their bets, and fewer and fewer people crowded around the dealer, and those well-informed people gathered around them, a voice rang in the ears of the little wizards around them:

"I bet you 100 Galleons that I'm not the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"???"

The gambling dogs, who were holding the note and had the illusion of taking advantage of it, had question marks all over their heads.

When did this professor show up?Didn't he already go to the fourth carriage?What does he mean?Send money to everyone?

It is difficult for normal people to understand why dog ​​gamblers become so confident when they place their bets, but Oluolin is different. He is a professional.

Olorin knew that these little gambling dogs must now think that he was giving money to everyone because he wanted to build a good relationship with the students.

So he was ready to fulfill his obligation in advance and give the little wizards a break before school officially started.

This is also the reason why he used illusions on the train where there was no danger for the time being. In fact, he had been standing behind the dealer from the beginning and watching the little gambling dogs betting crazily.

He even turned on the Eagle Eye Magic to count how much money the dealer collected - a total of 23 galleons, 12 sicols, and 1 knut. Among them, 11 people bet in galleons. There were more and less, and the average was 2 Galleons for each person, and most of the rest was betted in Knuts.

O'Loughlin could see that most people who bet in Knuts did not want to bet more money, but because they only had so many in total, which also confirmed the endless cycle-the poorer they were, the more they liked Stud. , and then the more stud you do, the poorer you will be.

If O'Loughlin had a Madonna character, he would probably stop the banker from cheating money from the beginning.

Unfortunately, he wasn't, so he watched helplessly as the little gambling dogs drained the last coins in their pockets, and then stood up before those who obviously knew the inside story began to place bets.

This node is critical, because once those insiders have finished placing their bets, there will be no educational significance in jumping out. By then, it will have become an established fact, and standing up will only be annoying.

But jumping out at this time can teach the little gambling dogs a painful lesson. After knowing that their money has been cheated, they will join forces to fight against the dealer, and even have a chance to get their gambling money back.

Moreover, after the banker is successfully defeated, anyone who wants to open the market in the future will have to consider the consequences.

It doesn't matter if you can't get your gambling money back. The banker's reputation has become so bad that it will probably be difficult for him to use the information gap to make money from gambling in the future.

The relationship between bookmakers and dog gamblers is like a chicken laying eggs and laying eggs. As long as the chicken is slaughtered, the ecological chain will have a chance to be broken.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Michael O'Loughlin. I am a new hospital worker at Hogwarts. You can call me Professor Michael or Professor O'Loughlin. .”

In fact, Oralin wanted everyone to call him doctor, but Dumbledore still refused. The reason was mentioned before, so Oralin could only reluctantly accept the title of professor.

The little wizards present didn't quite understand the meaning of "wage earner", but they all knew one thing, that is, Ou Luolin was not the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. This made many little gamblers unable to accept it, except Wei Wei. The twins of the Sly family are indeed the most optimistic people in the original novel. Even though the 1 Galleon they pressed was hard to come by, they still quickly accepted the reality.

"George, it seems we were deceived."

"Yes, Fred, it's a pity that all our dung eggs have been sold. Li, do you still have them over there?"

George looked at the black man sitting across from him. It was Lee Jordan, his and Fred's roommate.

"No, man, maybe you can take out your wand and cast a curse on that guy Tridus. That guy cheated on me with 2 Sickles!"

"The professor is here!"

In the carriage, O'Loughlin was still talking, "I think you should ask this... uh, what's your name?"

Olorin looked at the dealer who was opening the market. This boy with long black curly hair acted very aggrieved, as if he was not the one who was opening the market just now.

The boy hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, when an impatient person in the crowd not far away said on his behalf: "Jin! Professor, his name is Triedes King! This guy likes gambling the most!" His nasal voice was a little thick because he held his nose when speaking, probably because he was afraid of being recognized.

Jin was indeed a little aggrieved. He just wanted to earn some pocket money. It was not his fault that those people were not well-informed.

Gambling is prohibited by the school rules. Carter thought, if everyone on the spot got all the stolen money, he might be imprisoned for a week. He originally thought of just giving a fake name, but he was exposed before he could make up his mind.

"Oh, Trides, this is such a good name," O'Loughlin nodded. The parents who could name their child Trader are probably businessmen. They do seem to be people who like to make money through information disparity, and the surname Jin is a bit... Familiar, “Who are you Richard King?”

Richard King was a Gryffindor whom O'Loughlin had played against. He was four years ahead of him and had been the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. O'Loughlin entered school when he was in his sixth year. The guy's business acumen was really good, but he just couldn't afford to lose. The team had only lost two years in a row before he wanted to block O'Loughlin in private. O'Loughlin had to go through a lot of effort to break his leg with a sneak attack.
