This Hogwarts is not normal

The Fairy Hall is the top power in the wizarding underworld, and normally even pure-blood families might not know about it, let alone students.

However, the twins not only knew, but were even aware of their origins.

Daphne, the only one present who didn't know, blinked her eyes and pursed her lips, "George, I finally understand how you feel."

Hermione took her hand intimately and said, "The Fairy House has existed secretly for centuries. Vincent and I have only just learned about this force."

Daphne relaxed her lips slightly, "Okay, so what's going on with this mysterious organization?"

Vincent's expression turned serious. "They bribed the officials of the Ministry of Magic and got a batch of magic projections and maintenance manuals for internal use only."

Daphne covered her mouth in surprise. "No, you mean this Fairy Hall is targeting you?"

Hermione corrected, "It's not about him, it's about the magic projection."

Vincent quickly recounted what happened during the summer vacation. "I suspect the goblins want to use the magic projection to do something. As for what they want to do, that is the problem we have been worrying about."

The twins looked at each other silently, as if they wanted to say something.

"It's unlikely that they are smuggling, and it's even more impossible that they are using it for their own benefit. They have bribed the officials of the Ministry of Magic, and they will definitely not do business at a loss."

Daphne agreed with this guess very much.

She is the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family and is used to seeing the disgusting faces of those who only talk about interests.

But compared to the greedy goblins, they are actually good people.

Gringotts was founded in 1474 and was originally named Gringotts Goblin Bank.

The goblins took advantage of the fact that wizards were generally not good at math and lent money everywhere. In just one or two years, they amassed wealth like a snowball.

Later, the Ministry of Magic intervened strongly and Gringotts was renamed Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which ended the era of wizards being heavily in debt.

It was not until 1865, four centuries later, that sporadic rebellions by goblins led the Ministry of Magic to decide to return management of Gringotts to it.

Then, not long after taking over again, they launched all kinds of dazzling investment projects.

Daphne remembered that their family had invested in a lot of projects, most of which were money-losing projects, and even if they made a profit, they didn't make much.

Coupled with the "humane" loan business for individuals and enterprises, the goblins under the banner of regular banks can be said to be able to accurately harvest wizards of any class.

What about the informal fairy hall?

When Hermione mentioned the high-interest loan with an annual interest rate of 120%, the twins were so scared that they almost fell off the sofa.

"How much did you say?"

"The monthly interest rate is 120%, which means the annual interest rate is %."

The twins swallowed subconsciously.

They only earned this much from betting on the World Cup, but the Fairy Club can make 1.2 times as much in a year by lending money at high interest rates.

"This is too powerful." George held his chin up in an exaggerated tone, "Dude, how many years did you say this organization has existed?"

"More than three centuries." Vincent looked at him strangely. "By the way, how did you and Fred know this? You guys are not..."

Hermione and Daphne also looked at them with suspicion.

During the summer vacation, Molly confiscated all the twins' belongings. They later went to Daphne and Astoria to borrow money, but they paid it back in less than half a month.

"Could it be that……"

"you……"

The twins finally couldn't stand the torture of the three people's gazes and told them everything honestly.

100 gold Galleons may seem like a lot, but they are not enough to be used to develop new products.

So they went to bet on football and won.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a loan shark, everything will be fine.

Vincent suddenly narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you place the bet with Mr. Bagman? How did it involve the Goblin Guild?"

"Uh..." The twins looked at each other for a moment and said sorry in their hearts.

Fred said seriously, "Well, Mr. Bagman said he is very strong, so we chose to bet with him."

Strong strength?

Hermione looked at Vincent in astonishment. "The World Cup odds are a collaboration between Mr. Bagman and the Goblin Guild?"

George smiled awkwardly, "It's none of our business. You guessed it yourself."

From the twins' reactions, it was clear that they had promised Bagman to keep the secret. No wonder they were hesitant and refused to say anything before.

In any case, the news brought about a greater speculation.

Since it is a cooperation, it means that Bagman will take a part of the profits. Considering that the goblins value money more than anything else, Bagman should have provided the goblins with some indispensable help.

For example, a few magic projectors, or a maintenance manual.

Combining scattered clues, the truth seems to have been pieced together.

The Fairy Club actually wants to use magic projection to secretly manipulate the odds!

All it takes is a tiny delay in a globally broadcast event, such as a crucial goal, to reap huge profits.

Fortunately, they were killed by Voldemort in time, otherwise it would be a small matter to watch them make money, but the intermittent live broadcast would damage the reputation of Wayne Enterprises, which would be a big deal.

Bagman, the Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, was a well-known gambler, and the Galleons he used to pay off his debts could only come from the Goblin Guild.

In other words, he was the traitor in the Ministry of Magic, the official who was bribed by the Goblin Guild.

Calculating the time, he was indeed in the Fairy Hall when he reformed...

No, he must have known that something happened in the Fairy Hall!

There are countless gold and treasures hidden in that tree hole. Will the gambler really turn over a new leaf?

It's not that Vincent doesn't believe in human nature, but the fact that Bagman didn't report to the Ministry of Magic is itself a questionable thing.

Since you have truly reformed, why are you afraid of being implicated?

"Hiss—" Vincent took a deep breath.

He remembered a particularly horrible thing. Bertha Jorkins, who was suspected of being possessed by Voldemort, was an employee of the Department of Magical Games and Sports and was Bagman's subordinate.

With Jorkins' position, even if he had the chance to get in touch with the Goblet of Fire, it would be difficult for him to get in touch with the fire dragon of the first project and the mermaid leader of the second project.

But what if it was her boss, Bagman, the Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports and one of the five judges of the Triwizard Tournament?

Vincent's gloomy expression immediately reminded Hermione of something.

It's very possible that Bagman was the man the Death Eaters took from the gym that night when they attacked the camp.

Hermione shuddered subconsciously.

She pretended to be calm as she met the worried gazes of Daphne and the twins. "That... the Fairy Hall is really despicable. They actually wanted to use magic projection to secretly manipulate the odds."

Vincent relaxed his expression and said, "It's more than just despicable. It's simply shameless."
