"No, Fred, George, explain to your Professor what you're doing?" Kayson appeared directly behind the twins, grabbing each of them by an arm and pulling them aside.
Ludo Bagman, seeing at least sixty or seventy Galleons fly away, really wanted to call the twins back and then give Kayson, who was meddling, two big slaps.
But that was impossible; not only did he want Kayson to help with Alchemy, but he wasn't even sure if he could beat Kayson in terms of combat power.
"Alright, Professor, in fact, we were mentally prepared. Even if all of this goes down the drain, we won't be sad," the twins explained earnestly.
"I'm sorry, but as your Professor, I don't think I should just teach you knowledge. You probably don't care to listen to big reason, but I still have to say, if you are using all of your assets to gamble now, will you, when you grow up, use all of your industries to join such a high-stakes gamble again?"
"Professor, Ron gambled too."
"And just now, Ludo Bagman also said there was a sucker who gambled half of his farm's shares."
Kayson exasperatedly patted both of the twins' heads: "That sucker is from the capitalist class; she has shares in more than half of the shops in Diagon Alley. Can you compare? As for Ron... Mrs. Weasley is currently educating him."
After Kayson finished speaking, he moved aside, allowing the twins to admire the camp where a full-blown brawl was unfolding.
Two Galleons were forcefully retrieved from Ludo Bagman's hand by the domineering Mrs. Weasley, and then, along with Ron's previously saved personal stash, they were returned to Sirius.
Sirius, seeing this scene, timidly shrank his neck and then winked at Ron, his expression as if to say, "I'll give it back to you when your mom leaves."
Ron subtly nodded, while the twins still had their own ideas: "Professor, we want to try. After all, it's only sixty Galleons. If we can double it, we'll be able to..."
Before the twins could finish speaking, Mrs. Weasley rushed over, Flash-Stepped around Kayson, grabbed both of the twins' ears, and then she took a deep breath...
Kayson, pulling out two sponges, plugged his ears and returned to his lounge chair.
Soon, Sirius walked over, knelt on one knee, and asked, "What's up? Aren't you placing two bets?"
Kayson removed one sponge and rolled his eyes: "I just finished educating my students, and then I place a bet myself? What kind of Professor would I be then?"
Sirius gave Kayson a thumbs-up: "As a Professor, you're the best."
"His next line will be, 'As a brother, you're the best,'" Lupin walked over, saying as he showed a middle finger. After that, he kicked Sirius in the butt.
"Uh... Remus, I think we two need to go back to our student days. Let's find a secluded place and have a passionate Wizard duel!" Sirius said, standing up with the armrest of the lounge chair.
"Oh? Because my pointy-toed shoe kicked your delicate little butt? Come on, we haven't seen each other in so many years, we should practice." With that, he pulled Sirius and walked towards a small grove not far away.
"..." Kayson, watching this scene, helplessly closed his eyes.
On the other side, Ludo Bagman, who had overheard Sirius and Kayson's conversation, also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Kayson himself hadn't placed a bet, nor had his students. Only adults had placed bets. Surely he wouldn't come and physically discipline him again, would he?
As Ludo Bagman walked towards the other camps, Percy truly relaxed his straightened back. Immediately after, he heard Barty Crouch appear in the camp and quickly left to search for his tracks.
Not long after, Lupin and Sirius, who had nearly killed each other in the small grove, walked out, supporting each other. Kayson, too lazy to help, wanted nothing more than to give them both a good slap.
He quickly grabbed both of their collars and admonished them: "Can you two behave? You're pulling this stunt right before a big battle, huh?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. We'll definitely maintain our combat power. We just need to go back and wipe some Dittany on ourselves, really."
"Exactly, and we Wizards rely on magic, not muscles. Relax, really."
Kayson pushed the two into the tent: "Where's the Dittany Essence? I'll be merciful and help you two."
"Oh, good..." Sirius was halfway through his sentence when the emotionally intelligent Lupin patted him, and he quickly changed his words: "Thank you."
Neither of them was seriously injured, at most just some superficial wounds. After applying Dittany for a few seconds, they were good as new.
After the few of them came out again, Sirius, full of stealth, looked around and found Mrs. Weasley chatting and laughing with Mr. Weasley. He quickly winked at Ron, called Ron over, and then pulled out a full money bag and handed it to him.
"Take whatever you like and spend it, just don't let your parents see..."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out another one: "These are all Sickles, so you won't need change when you buy snacks. There are many snack stalls here, you and your little friends can go play." After Sirius finished speaking, he was about to stand up, and then Lupin directly added: "Remember not to run too far, let us be able to see you."
Ron nodded dazedly; he was really a bit dizzy from this sudden happiness.
Soon, the Little Wizardss left the camp to play, while Kayson, Lupin, and Sirius gathered again to discuss serious matters.
"Do we need to prepare in advance?" Lupin asked.
"Most here are adult Wizards, and the Little Wizardss all have guardians. As long as they're not useless and don't drag us down, it's enough. No need for advance preparation," Sirius said, waving his hand.
"You can't say that. We still need to know the terrain, right?" Lupin retorted.
"Then I'll fly up on a broomstick and take a look or take a photo?" Sirius suggested.
"Eh, that's wrong. Why go to all that trouble?" Kayson waved his hand.
"What method do you have?" the two asked.
Kayson flipped his hand, and a rough piece of parchment appeared in his hand. The next moment, ink suddenly spread outwards from the center point, almost instantly covering the entire drawing, turning into a detailed map.
"Holy crap!"
