It’s time to place your bets and pick a side…
Headmaster Harland and Minister Beckett have become rivals of sorts as they bet against each other on the simpler matters in life. There is always a consequence for the loser of every bet, and a story to tell behind each.

Each week, those within the winning bet will receive 5 wizard cards, and 2 house points, to be revealed at the start of the following week's article.
It was quite the wait for Mrs Pickling to get all her lottery tickets checked, but after a few days it was an ecstatic reaction to find out she had not only won a large sum, but the lottery jackpot itself! Mrs Pickling is now one of the richest witches in the UK, and has promptly bought herself a luxurious home in the countryside.
That means our bet winner this week is Astrid! This does mean Clarence has lost, and his consequence this time means he has to spend 1 week doing his Headmaster work in the Great Hall rather than his office. He is not pleased and Astrid anticipates he will be driven mad.
