After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Cedric nodded in understanding, but then shook his head and asked in confusion:
"Principal, why are you doing this? If you are afraid that Wentworth's surname will bring trouble to Hogwarts, then you don't have to let him enter Hogwarts!"
In response to Cedric's question, Dumbledore did not answer directly, but instead asked:
"Cedric, what kind of person do you think Wentworth is?"
Cedric was silent for a moment, then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, Headmaster. If it was before today, I would say that Wentworth is an excellent Hufflepuff! Friendly, honest, and sincere. But now, I don't know if all this is just a disguise!"
Dumbledore blinked when he heard Cedric's answer, and then said:
"See, Cedric, that's why I do this!"
Seeing that Cedric was still confused, Dumbledore continued to explain: "Cedric, you and Wentworth are very good friends. Now, everyone is suspicious of him. So, what about the others?"
Cedric suddenly realized, but Dumbledore hadn't finished speaking yet: "As a student of Hogwarts, I hope that each of you can become an outstanding wizard in the future, no matter what way! But this definitely does not include being because of your last name!"
In Hogsmeade village, Cassandra asked her father the same question, but received a different answer.
"Principal Dumbledore, why are you doing this?"
Thomas Revo pondered for a moment, and said with some earnestness:
"Cassandra, you haven't experienced that era, so you won't understand what the name Grindelwald represents in the entire wizarding world!"
"Principal Dumbledore placed him by his side so that he could take better care of him. After all, it was impossible for Principal Dumbledore to kill an innocent little wizard."
"However, if the other young wizards in Hogwarts and their families knew that the heir of the Grindelwald family was in Hogwarts, there was no guarantee that they would not have some evil intentions."
After Thomas Revo finished speaking, the room fell silent again. After a long time, Cassandra asked bitterly, "Father, they asked me to trick Wentworth out of Hogwarts. As long as I bring Wentworth to them, they will let you go. Father, what should I do?"
Thomas Revo sighed, and then said, "When I found out we were in Hogsmeade, I already guessed it! Their plan is good, but they treated me like a fool! After all, your father is the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic, and he was underestimated!"
"Cassandra, if Wentworth dies here, then the next ones will definitely be us, father and daughter! They won't let us leave alive!"
Hearing Thomas Revo's words, Cassandra's face tightened, and she asked nervously, "Father, what should we do then?"
Thomas Revo smiled, but the light in the room was too dim, and Cassandra did not notice that there was a hint of coldness in Thomas Revo's smile.
"Of course I promised them!"
Seeing Cassandra's surprised look, Thomas Revo went on to explain: "Promise them to bring Wentworth here! But before you get here, report everything that is about to happen here to the British Ministry of Magic! With so many dark wizards and a little master of the Witch Party, this credit is enough for your father to continue to move up in the Ministry of Magic!"
Looking at her father's bright eyes, Cassandra looked away with a guilty conscience for some reason.
At dawn, Cedric was lying on the boat in his dormitory. Everything that happened today flashed through his mind one by one, but it still felt a little unreal. Cedric even doubted whether everything he had experienced today was just a dream.
However, Cedric reached out and touched his chest again. The pendant of the Deathly Hallows was still lying there quietly.
Cedric didn't know when Ilona put the pendant back into his pocket. But when he returned to the dormitory and changed his clothes, the pendant that had been borrowed by Ilona appeared in his pocket.
Wentworth, you are willing to give me such a valuable thing, you are really kind! At this time, Wentworth sneezed in his sleep.
In the Slytherin common room, Cassandra was also lying on her bed, unable to fall asleep.
Before leaving, the words that the witch named Christine said to her kept lingering in Cassandra's ears.
"I don't care what method you use, you must make sure Wentworth appears in Hogsmeade!"
Christine said to Cassandra with a cold face.
But Cassandra explained helplessly:
"Among Hogwarts students, only third-year students and above are allowed to come to Hogsmeade! And they need a letter of consent from their parents!"
But Christine waved her hand and said impatiently: "Since you can be here, Wentworth can be here too!"
Cassandra quickly explained:
"I'm here because I know a secret passage to Hogwarts! But I have no reason to convince Wentworth to break school rules with me and take the secret passage to Hogsmeade!"
After hearing Cassandra's words, Christine was silent for a moment, then looked Cassandra up and down, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly said:
"Miss Cassandra is so beautiful. I think it would be hard for any wizard to refuse to spend a wonderful night with her!"
Hearing Christine's words, Cassandra widened her eyes and said in disbelief:
"You want me to seduce Wentworth? No! Impossible! I will never do such a thing! I would never do it even if I die!"
Cassandra said forcefully, her face full of anger.
But Christine said nonchalantly:
"He's just an 11 or 12-year-old kid, he can't really do anything! Besides, you won't die? What if it's not you who dies?"
As she spoke, Christine also cast her gaze towards the room behind Cassandra, where Cassandra's father was still tied to a chair.
Cassandra fell silent after hearing Christine's naked threat.
"Aqiu!"
At this moment, Wentworth sneezed again in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes.
"What happened tonight? Did you catch a cold? Never mind, I won't sleep. I'll go get some medicine from the old bat to prevent it!"
