Cedric, on the other side, pushed Green away and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Hey, Green, how could Wentworth do such a thing! By the way, whose newspaper is that?"
As everyone's attention was focused on Wentworth at this time, many people looked at the Weasley brothers curiously when they heard Cedric beside Wentworth say this.
Fred Weasley had obviously just thought of this, and he quickly flipped through the newspaper again. After a moment, he said with a strange look on his face: "It's The Quibbler!"
After hearing what Fred Weasley said, half of the Hogwarts students who originally surrounded him suddenly disappeared, and many of them murmured:
"So it's The Quibbler. No wonder!"
Most of the remaining students were just curious about the article itself. After all, it was rare for their classmates to be featured in the newspaper!
However, when most students learned that the report came from The Quibbler, they thought it was the usual exaggerated style of The Quibbler. Moreover, The Quibbler and The Daily Prophet had been at odds for a long time.
Apparently, everyone saw the article’s coverage of Wentworth as a tool for The Quibbler to compete with The Daily Prophet.
However, not everyone seemed indifferent. Although this report came from "The Quibbler", it was after all a newspaper with a certain reputation in the wizarding world. It praised Wentworth so much in it, which made many people jealous.
"Hey, Green, the newspaper said that it was Wentworth who led Hufflepuff to defeat our Slytherin. I really want to know, as the Hufflepuff prefect, what do you think about this?"
At this time, Marcus Flint, the seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team, came over and asked with a strange smile on his face.
Hearing Marcus Flint's provocative words, Wentworth and Cedric's faces changed at the same time, but at this moment, Green yawned loudly in front of Marcus Flint, and then said boredly:
"How should I see? I see with my eyes! Why? You think I should be furious? Are you kidding! I wish there were a few more Wentworths in Hufflepuff, then it would be much easier for me to be a prefect! And by the way, I can suppress you Slytherins!"
Hearing Green's answer, Marcus Flint's face flushed and he said angrily:
"To beat us Slytherins? You're just dreaming! Don't think that you Hufflepuffs are playing rogue and that you're so powerful just because you beat us once! In this weekend's Quidditch match, I'll let you know how powerful we Slytherins are!"
Hearing Marcus Flint's provocation, Green said nonchalantly:
"I'm really scared! How about we make a bet?"
When Marcus Flint heard Green say he wanted to make a bet, his face froze. The guy that Slytherin had bet with Green before was none other than the former Slytherin prefect! And the consequence was that he became the former prefect.
Marcus Flint took a step back subconsciously, and then said quickly:
"I don't want to talk to you any more. See you on the Quidditch field tomorrow!"
After saying that, Marcus Flint turned and left in a panic.
Seeing Marcus Flint turn around and leave without saying a word, Green raised his head and said, "This kid is smart and runs fast! Wentworth, I know that you brought back a brand new concept Firebolt from the Quidditch World Cup final. Let alone this flying broom, you are far ahead of Slytherin! It depends on you tomorrow!"
After saying this, Green patted Wentworth's shoulder heavily to show encouragement.
But Wentworth responded expressionlessly:
Hearing Wentworth's words, Green and Cedric both showed surprised expressions, and Cedric quickly said:
"Wentworth, what has happened? Is it possible that your broomstick is missing?"
Wentworth shook his head, but before Cedric and Green could breathe a sigh of relief, Wentworth continued:
"I plan to give that flying broom away as a Christmas present in the future. I don't plan to use it myself!"
Hearing Wentworth's answer, Cedric asked with anticipation and excitement:
"Are you going to give it to me? Isn't this too expensive?"
Wentworth looked at Cedric and chuckled twice, breaking Cedric's fantasy.
Meanwhile, Green on the other side repeatedly patted his chest with a frightened expression, and kept saying, "Fortunately, fortunately, Marcus didn't agree to bet with me! By the way, Wentworth, what did you say just now?"
When Wentworth heard Green's question, he said with some confusion: "I just said that I was going to give the flying broom away as a Christmas gift in the future. I didn't plan to use it myself!"
Green shook his head and said, "I didn't mean this sentence, I meant the previous sentence!"
Wentworth recalled for a moment and said tentatively, "I say, Senior Green, it's too early for you to pat my shoulder! You'd better not put all your hopes on me!"
After hearing what Wentworth said, Green patted Wentworth on the shoulder again, and then said earnestly:
"Wentworth, you think too much. As a senior, class leader, and team leader, how could I put all my hopes on you? I patted your shoulder to tell you to take the blame!"
Wentworth and Cedric: ...
While the three were still chatting and laughing in the Hogwarts Great Hall, Marcus Flint, who had left the hall earlier, returned to his dormitory, and then stealthily took out a package from his locker.
After opening it, the package contained a letter and a bottle filled with medicine.
Marcus Flint looked at the potion in front of him, his breathing became heavier and his face flushed.
But at this moment, Marcus Flint seemed extremely excited.
Marcus Flint was in the empty dormitory, holding the bottle of medicine in his hand, and said confidently:
"I will definitely be the winner of this weekend's competition! I'm going to show you who is the best student at Hogwarts!"
If Wentworth were here, he might be able to recognize that the potion in Marcus Flint's hand was very similar to the Felixir potion that Snape gave him.
