You know, Harry Potter and his friends will enter Hogwarts next year. When Wentworth made up his mind to stay away from the three big schools that deduct points from Hogwarts, he had already excluded Gryffindor and Slytherin from his own college options.
He really yearned for the wonders of the wizarding world, but he didn't like trouble and danger. Wentworth had already made up his mind to stay away from Gryffindor and Slytherin, two houses where trouble would continue in the next few years.
Later, under Wentworth's deliberate flattery, Amos had already regarded Wentworth as an extremely motivated and good student before leaving, so much so that before leaving, he repeatedly asked Cedric to take good care of Wentworth.
As long as you blow my son, you are a good kid!
Although Cedric felt a little embarrassed by Wentworth's flattery, after all, he was still a 12-year-old boy. How could he be a match for Wentworth, who was already extremely mature mentally?
Soon, Cedric regarded Wentworth as his close friend. In addition to his father's last words, Cedric took Wentworth on the Hogwarts Express. He declined many invitations along the way and found an empty box with Wentworth to sit down.
Soon, when the Hogwarts Express started, Wentworth and Cedric had become good friends who could talk about anything, although most of the time it was Cedric who explained the interesting things about Hogwarts to Wentworth.
Suddenly, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside. Wentworth watched as a pair of slender hands pushed open the door of his box. Then, a girl in a Gothic long skirt walked in. The most eye-catching thing was the girl's dark green eyes.
"Is it you?"
"It's you!"
The two people said in unison.
"You two know each other?"
Cedric, who was standing by, saw the reactions of Wentworth and the girl and asked curiously.
"I met her once when I was shopping in Diagon Alley before school started. Her name is Cassandra, and like me, she is also a freshman at Hogwarts this year."
"The one next to me is Cedric, a grade above us."
Wentworth quickly explained and introduced both parties to each other.
"Hello, my name is Cedric, second year Hufflepuff."
Cedric quickly extended his hand and introduced himself.
But Cassandra had no intention of reaching out her hand. She just nodded slightly and sat down next to Wentworth.
Although Cedric was a little embarrassed, he just shrugged and didn't say much. The atmosphere in the box suddenly froze.
After a while, Cassandra spoke again, "The seats outside are all full. My father had already notified Hogwarts to reserve a box for me, but for some reason, Hogwarts didn't do so. This matter won't just end like this!"
Cassandra said somewhat viciously.
Cedric and Wentworth looked at each other and saw a hint of smile in each other's eyes, but neither of them said anything. Cedric was just like that by nature, and Wentworth was simply more mature in mind, so he found it funny.
Seeing that neither of them agreed with her after she finished speaking, Cassandra couldn't help but pout and said, "Hey, do you know who my father is? My father is the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic! All the Aurors in the UK are under his charge!"
Hearing Cassandra say this, Cedric quickly said, "Really? So, your father and my father are colleagues!"
"Is your father also an Auror?"
Cassandra's expression softened a little.
"No, my father works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the British Ministry of Magic!"
"oh……"
Cassandra regained her initial haughty look.
At this moment, the door of the three-person box was opened again, and a woman wearing a top hat, a long ponytail and a windbreaker walked in.
Although the woman said this, she had already sat down.
An adult woman suddenly appeared among the children in the car. The three of them looked at the woman who had just come in with some surprise.
As if she noticed the looks of the three people, the woman smiled and explained:
"My name is Ilona. If nothing goes wrong, I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the new semester!"
The three of them looked at each other in amazement.
At this time, the atmosphere in the box had dropped to freezing point. There was no sound at all. The three people all sat obediently in their seats. Even Cassandra, who had been so arrogant before, was now extremely well-behaved.
Wentworth looked at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in front of him and felt that he seemed familiar, but he really didn't know the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this semester, and there was no introduction in the original book, so he didn't think much about it.
After a while, as if wanting to leave a good impression in front of the new teacher, Cassandra broke the silence and said, "Teacher Ilona, there seems to be some dirt on the corner of your clothes. Let me help you clean it up!"
“Clean and new!”
Cassandra took out her magic wand and waved it lightly, and Ilona's clothes were as clean as new.
"Thank you so much!"
Ilona nodded slightly and expressed her gratitude with a smile. At the same time, she picked up the water glass beside her and took a few sips gracefully.
Cassandra was praised by the teacher before the school started, and she was obviously happy. Cedric, who was standing by, saw this and seemed to want to show off in front of the new teacher, so he took out his wand.
"Teacher Ilona, let me add some water for you!"
After getting Ilona's permission, Cedric pointed his wand at Ilona's glass of water.
"Clear water like a spring!"
Afterwards, Ilona also expressed her gratitude to Cedric.
Finally, everyone's eyes were on Wentworth, looking at him intently.
This made Wentworth, who was watching attentively on the side, freeze.
Why are you all looking at me? Do you want me to perform Occlumency for you? You two rookies don't even know Legilimency!
Just when Wentworth was embarrassed, the box door was opened again.
"Anyone want some snacks?"
the salesperson asked politely.
This made Wentworth breathe a sigh of relief, and then he said, "In this case, I will also perform a spell for everyone!"
"Galondodo!"
Then, Wentworth pulled out a handful of gold galleons from his pocket, pointed at the cart and said:
“I want all of these!”
