Late at night, Cedric finally returned to the outside of Hogwarts Castle accompanied by his father Amos. At this time, Dumbledore was already waiting for them there.

Before coming, Amos Diggory wrote a letter to Dumbledore, saying that Cedric sneaked out of Hogwarts because he was worried about him, and hoped that Headmaster Dumbledore would not mind.

Just as the two sides met in Hogwarts Castle, Cassandra opened her eyes in her dormitory. She put on her clothes quietly and slipped out of the Slytherin dormitory alone.

Cassandra came alone and quietly to the fourth floor of Hogwarts. She came in front of a mirror and whispered a few words. The mirror turned over and a secret passage appeared behind the mirror.

Cassandra looked around and made sure that no one had spotted her, then she dived into the secret passage.

At the same time, Mr. Amos handed Cedric over to Dumbledore and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore stroked Cedric's hair kindly, smiled amiably and said:

"It's okay Amos, Cedric is an excellent Hufflepuff who fully demonstrates the fearlessness and loyalty of Hufflepuff!"

Hearing Dumbledore praising his son, Amos's smile suddenly became even brighter.

Afterwards, the two chatted about some interesting things that happened when Amos was a student at Hogwarts, and Amos said goodbye to Dumbledore! After Amos left, Dumbledore took Cedric's hand and walked into Hogwarts Castle.

In Hogsmeade village not far from Hogwarts, Cassandra stood nervously in front of a house with a red lantern hanging at the door.

Although Cassandra looked conflicted, after taking a deep breath, she resolutely knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door was opened from the inside. Looking at the cold light coming from the room, Cassandra no longer hesitated and strode into the room.

Cedric, who was sent back to Hogwarts by his father in person, was a little nervous at first, but now, walking in the familiar Hogwarts campus, Cedric's mood gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Dumbledore's voice sounded faintly in Cedric's ears:

"You joined the Witch Party?!"

Dumbledore's sudden words startled Cedric, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"How do you know?!"

When Cedric finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had just admitted it, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

However, Dumbledore still held Cedric's hand and walked towards Hogwarts Castle, while answering:

"It's very simple. Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason for the Wu Cui Party to let you go back."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Cedric was silent for a moment, then said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Headmaster. I swore that I would not tell anyone what I saw or heard today! But I have never done anything to let Hogwarts down."

But Dumbledore did not respond to Cedric's words, which made Cedric full of worry. Finally, when he was close to the entrance of Hogwarts Castle, Cedric could not help but ask, "Principal Dumbledore, will you send me to Azkaban?"

Hearing this, Dumbledore suddenly stopped, looked at Cedric in surprise, and asked, "Why, have you done anything illegal?"

Cedric shook his head and said:

"How is that possible! I didn't!"

"So, Cedric, why should I send you to Azkaban? It's just to join a witch party! Everyone has the right to choose the path they want to take! As long as you don't do evil, I will always be your headmaster, Cedric!"

In Hogsmeade village, in an inconspicuous house, Christine brought Cassandra to the door of a room and pushed it open.

When Cassandra saw the middle-aged man tied to a chair in the room, even though she had appeared extremely strong before, she burst into tears.

Cassandra cried out "Father" and rushed towards the man in the room.

Outside the door, Christine said loudly: "Thomas Revo, I have brought the person to you. You are a smart man and should know how to persuade your daughter!"

Then Christine closed the door for them.

Looking at her father who looked much more haggard, Cassandra asked with tears in her eyes:

"Father, what is going on?"

Thomas Revo looked at Cassandra who fell on him and cried. He wanted to reach out and touch his daughter's hair, but when he was about to raise his hand, he remembered that he was tied to a chair and had to give up.

Thomas Revo did not answer Cassandra's question, but instead asked: "Now, do you know the identity of your classmate?"

Cassandra's eyes were filled with tears and she nodded heavily. Just now, Christine had told Cassandra the identity of Wentworth.

At this time, Cedric also asked Dumbledore a similar question: "Principal Dumbledore, have you known Wentworth's identity for a long time?"

Dumbledore nodded without hesitation, winked and said:

"Of course, Cedric, I am the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Cedric was silent for a moment, then asked:

"So, all students in Hogwarts will subconsciously forget to ask for Wentworth's last name. Is this what you did?"

Dumbledore nodded without hesitation and added: "Not just me."

At the same time, Cassandra also asked her father Thomas this question: "Father, why didn't I realize that everyone ignored the Wentworth family name?"

Thomas Revo thought for a moment and said to Cassandra:

"Tell me everything that happened from the moment you boarded the Hogwarts Express to the opening ceremony!"

When Thomas Revo heard that Professor McGonagall was going to the station to greet the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Thomas Revo said meaningfully:

"There is no tradition at Hogwarts for the vice-headmaster to go to the station to welcome new professors! It looks like all of this was planned by Headmaster Dumbledore long ago!"

Seeing that Cassandra still had a confused expression on her face, Thomas Revo continued to explain: "If it were in the outside world, it might be difficult to make everyone subconsciously forget a person's last name, but in a relatively fixed location, it is much easier, especially when Dumbledore is here."

"Many spells, such as the Confusion Charm, can do this. Of course, it could also be a spell invented by Headmaster Dumbledore himself!"

At the entrance of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore was explaining to Cedric: "It can be done by making some slight improvements to the Confusion Charm. Of course, this can only be effective within the scope of Hogwarts. So, every time Wentworth walks out of Hogwarts, I will be with him to ensure that the spell continues to work!"
