Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

As he spoke, he took out another gold Galleon and handed it over, then continued to reach into the wooden box.

"Lucky luck! You got the map! Congratulations on getting 1 red map fragments!"

Harry looked at the number above and was a little disappointed, but it was still within an acceptable range. After all, he could get the complete map by drawing again.

Fred reminded:

"You're only one red map fragment away from being complete. Shall we continue?"

Although Harry didn't understand why Fred asked this, he directly proved with his actual actions that he would continue.

He handed another gold Galleon to George, and reached into the box with his other hand, grabbing a piece of paper at random. After all, he was only one short, so he would definitely get it.

He even felt that he had gotten a great deal, as he had obtained such a powerful magic item with only three gold Galleons. He had already decided to bring gifts for the two of them when Hogsmeade Village opened.

But when he opened the note, he was stunned.

"Lucky luck! You got the map! Congratulations on getting 3 orange map fragments!"

Seeing Harry looking at them with his mouth wide open, George and Fred seemed to see from Harry how they had been fooled by Douglas.

George explained in a businesslike manner:

"Ten orange map fragments can be exchanged for one red map fragment. You are now only seven orange map fragments away from obtaining the Marauder's Map. Do you want to continue?"

Fred said with an embarrassed look:

"Harry, I hope you can understand that this is the rule left by the Maker. We have no control over it."

They did not lie to Harry at all. In their opinion, the Marauder's Map and the method used to trap them were all created by Douglas.

They just wanted to take this opportunity to take a small revenge on Douglas.

After all, this special box was originally left by Douglas at the Burrow, so that they would always remember what a gambler's mentality is and why nine out of ten gambling games are scams.

Look at what human language this is, actually educating two innocent nine-year-old children not to gamble!

George and Fred's shadowing of Douglas began with this box.

Chapter 225 It’s over

The structure of the box and the deceptive magic inside had long been cracked by the two of them.

The box remained in Fred's hand throughout Harry's drawing.

This is so that when Harry pulls out the note, Fred can change the content inside.

Only then did Harry understand why the color of the fragments had been emphasized. It turned out that this was the purpose.

But he thought about it, isn't it just 7 fragments that are still missing? Even if his luck is bad, if he gets one at a time, it will only cost 7 gold Galleons, plus the previous 3, a total of 10 gold Galleons.

Compare it with the value of the Marauder's Map, it's worth it.

Harry quickly took out a Galleon and put his hand inside.

"Lucky luck! You got the map! Congratulations on getting 3 orange map fragments!"

"Four more orange map fragments are needed!"

This time, a smile involuntarily appeared on Harry's face again, and he saved two more Galleons.

"Lucky luck! You got the map! Congratulations on getting 3 orange map fragments!"

"One more orange map fragment is missing!"

The smile on Harry's face grew wider and wider. He took out another gold Galleon and handed it to George. He didn't believe that a fragment of a different color would appear again.

At this moment, George stopped his outstretched hand and said:

"Harry, according to the rules, for every five gold Galleons you spend, you can choose to use one Galleon to purchase a chance to roll the dice. You can draw as many times in a row as you roll the dice."

Harry hesitated when he heard this, and asked cautiously:

"Will there be fragments of a third color?"

George and Fred shrugged and said at the same time:

"I am not sure as well!"

Harry swallowed and asked again:

"Is there a blank side on that dice?"

George and Fred's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they thought to themselves, why didn't we think of such a wonderful method? We can try it next time.

The two shook their heads at Harry with great regret, but at the same time said excitedly: "Read Shula!"

"Harry, you are indeed very talented. It seems that passing the map to you is a good choice."

Harry couldn't believe what George and Fred said now. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"I choose to roll the dice!"

So George took out the dice and handed it to Harry. He could swear to God that there was absolutely no magic used on the dice.

After Harry took the dice, he looked at it carefully and found that it was just an ordinary six-sided dice. He thought that this was indeed a game based on luck.

He threw the dice onto the table beside him, and when the dice stopped, the five dots were facing up.

Harry shouted excitedly:

"Five chances!"

George and Fred also cooperated by praising Harry's luck.

ten minutes later......

Harry had fallen into a frenzy. Relying on Galleons and rolling dice, he had already drawn the purple map fragment.

George and Fred looked at the crazy Harry and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Could it be that they were in the same state as he was now?

Although Harry cursed the designer of the game in his heart, he was unwilling to give up after investing so many gold Galleons.

At the same time, because the gold galleons he invested did not exceed the value of the map itself, he felt that the current expenditure was acceptable.

When he was about to roll the dice again, he suddenly found that he had no money!

This situation was like a bolt from the blue, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He only needed 3 purple map fragments to get the entire map, but at this most critical moment, he had no money.

Although Harry looked crazy, when he came out of the yellow and green map fragments, he had probably guessed where the end of this deceptive game was. It was nothing more than an arrangement according to the seven colors of the rainbow.

As for whether other colors would be developed and the trend would continue, Harry firmly believed that it would not happen.

The last time he heard Hermione say it, specifically during Arithmancy class, was that seven was a magical number in the wizarding world.

Just when Harry was anxious and didn't know what to do.

George and Fred smiled at each other. The most critical moment had finally arrived. It was so exciting.

"Harry, you're only one step away. Don't you want to continue?"

"Actually, you can borrow some money from Professor Holmes."

Harry looked at the two people winking at each other and said hesitantly:

"Shouldn't the professor know about this kind of thing?"

George and Fred nodded and said:

"Of course, but you don't have to say that."

"We're going to Hogsmeade soon, so it's probably okay to borrow some money from my cousin!"

"But there are only three fragments missing!"

"Can't all the money I spent so far be wasted?"

......

When Harry knocked on Douglas's office door with trepidation, Douglas was still in the principal's office.

Sirius and Dobby were reading in the office when they suddenly saw through the peephole behind the door that the person coming was Harry.

Sirius said immediately:

"Dobby, open the door!"

Then he turned into a dog and lay down beside the table leg.

Dobby opened the door and said in an excited tone:

"Harry Potter, how can Dobby help you?"

As he spoke, he let Harry in.

Sirius also wagged his tail and ran over to Harry and rubbed his legs.

Harry stroked Sirius's dog head, looked around and asked:

"Dobby, isn't my cousin here?"

Dobby said quickly:

"The boss is out for something. Harry Potter, if you have anything, you can talk to Dobby. Dobby can help!"

Sirius also barked twice.

Harry hesitated and said:

"Dobby, do you have any money? Galleons are best. I..."

Before Harry could finish his words, Dobby took his purse from his waist and put it in Harry's hand.

"Dobby doesn't have many Galleons, but they're all here. There are 23 gold Galleons."

Harry was deeply moved by this gesture and said quickly:

"That's enough, Dobby, I borrowed it from you.

I will open the Potter family vault at Gringotts later, and you can help me get some gold Galleons..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt the purse in his hand become heavy, and he subconsciously held the purse tightly.

When Harry mentioned Galleon, Wangcai had already crawled out of the treasure bowl. When he saw Dobby giving his purse to Harry, he was so angry that he pointed and gestured on the desk, but unfortunately no one noticed him.

So it planned to take back Dobby's wallet while no one was paying attention.

Sirius noticed Wangcai's behavior and originally thought that he was just going to play with Harry, but he didn't expect him to snatch the purse right away.

Just as Harry held the purse tightly, Wangcai was also suspended in the air.

Just as Dobby was about to catch Wangcai, Sirius suddenly pounced over, bit Wangcai's collar on the back of his neck, pulled him off the purse, threw him into the air, and then gently bit Wangcai's hind legs with his mouth.

Then, Sirius shook his head vigorously, causing Wangcai's property hidden on his body to fall down with a loud noise.

Only then did Dobby react and quickly rescued Wangcai from Sirius's mouth.

Sirius pointed his paw at a small pile of gold Galleons on the ground and barked at Harry.

Harry looked at Wangcai who broke free from Dobby and hurriedly collected the treasures on the ground. His face was full of embarrassment. It seemed that he was not yet at the point where he had to compete with a pet for money.

Dobby stood in front of Sirius and said loudly:

"Sir, you can't do this!"

Although Harry didn't understand why Dobby called Sirius "Mr.", he still said awkwardly:

"Padfoot, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it right now!"

Upon hearing this, Wangcai stood there in a daze, not even noticing that a gem in his hand had fallen to the ground.

If Douglas were here, he would certainly understand what it means.

"This is my treasure, why are you thanking that dog!"

Chapter 226 Rejection is the purpose of the game

When Harry came to George and Fred's dormitory again, he threw the purse directly on their desk.

The two of them hurriedly asked:

"It seems like I borrowed a lot!"
